Chapter 2637: Chapter 1144: Guarding the Treasure While Searching for Treasure (Part 3)

"The greenhouse must continue to be built as part of the city planning; it’s an essential expenditure. Just ensure proper documentation and security to prevent theft," Gaven added with a smile, "There’s no choice, since we have such resources!"

"Haha... Well said, since we do have such resources!"

"Haha..."

Everyone laughed wholeheartedly, even Philancy couldn’t help but smile.

A thousand tons annual production is not a small number, and before the Arcane Academy reaches a certain scale, she alone couldn’t possibly squander even one-tenth of it, no matter how she tried.

"Deploy an Armed Ray Fish to airlift a hundred tons to Mesnoel as research materials for Teacher Philancy," Gaven issued the second command.

"No problem." Shanoba tapped her ample chest, "I’ll take responsibility for this task and personally oversee its transport."

Philancy had already proven her capabilities through action, naturally earning higher regard.

"Very well." Gaven nodded in satisfaction, "I plan to establish an Arcane Academy in Mesnoel, which will certainly require various material supplies in the future, entrusting it to you from Colossus City. At that time, you must unconditionally support us.

Of course, the Arcane Academy will prioritize implementing any new research findings in your city."

"Arcane Academy? Our own School of Spell?" Shanoba’s eyes widened in excitement, "Can all residents of our territory participate in learning?"

"Well..." Gaven naturally knew what he meant, his gaze involuntarily shifted to Philancy.

They discussed numerous issues and details along the way, but never touched on the question of student races.

He wasn’t entirely certain of the boundaries of a Legendary Arcanist, as Arcane experts were most prevalent among humans, occasionally elves or half-elves became Arcanists, other races were exceedingly rare.

Gnoll Arcanists, unheard of.

"I am inclusive toward the dissemination of knowledge, with no prejudice toward any race. As long as one meets the admission requirements, they may enter my Arcane Academy to learn," Philancy responded exuberantly, "including gnolls."

Gaven exhaled deeply, unable to resist a smile, "That’s good to know from the teacher. Rest assured, I’ll manage the ratios among races to ensure that half the Academy isn’t composed of gnolls."

He genuinely feared Philancy would have biases, recruiting only human students, which would truly be troublesome.

After all, his territory is highly diverse with mixed races, and he has continuously promoted multiracial cooperation, peaceful coexistence, and joint development, contributing significantly to his territory’s rapid advancement.

"half gnolls?" Philancy raised an eyebrow in disbelief, "Aren’t gnolls generally known for low intelligence? Those reaching average human levels are considered wise, and their spellcasters primarily rely on charisma, right? It seems counterproductive to have them at the Arcane Academy?"

"Gnolls in the wild possess lower intelligence, largely due to their lack of education, as with wild men whose intelligence is generally lower than educated humans."

Gaven, now an indisputable gnoll expert, understands this race beyond ordinary people, "This race’s plasticity is far superior to others, especially in matters related to Giant Dragons.

City Lord Shanoba holds the Dragon Dog Mutual Aid ability, utilizing gnoll strength while profoundly enhancing their body’s potential, refining their bloodline for greater power.

Their ample base will inevitably produce some anomalies, including high-intelligence gnolls.

This is also a valid research area, as gnolls show marked advantages over humans in using magic application devices, linked to their dormant Dragon ancestry."

"I see," Philancy nodded, "I’ve underestimated them before, I’ll pay more attention in the future."

Shanoba seized the opportunity to speak: "Master, I indeed have a challenge that requires your assistance."

"What challenge?"

"Specialized equipment! Specifically for Bipedal Dragons!" Shanoba looked eagerly at Philancy, "Can the energy blast device and Skeleton Cannon from the Shadow Flyer be integrated into armor for Bipedal Dragons? This would significantly enhance their combat power."

The emergence of the Shadow Flyer prompted immense pressure, compelling efforts to enhance her troop’s fighting power.

After her personal capability reached a bottleneck, further upgrades had to come from equipment adjustments.

The Shadow Flyer inspired her while imposing immense pressure.

By transplanting its most powerful features onto Bipedal Dragons, the problem would be perfectly resolved.

They even possess advantages the Shadow Flyer lacks – Bipedal Dragons can grow, whereas the Shadow Flyer is lifeless, fixed at creation.

This issue was beyond her capabilities until Philancy presented herself.

Gaven exchanged glances with Philancy, unable to resist a chuckle, "Who knew you’d come up with this idea yourself this time.

No need for you to propose it; we were already considering its feasibility during the journey.

This matter entails two challenges.

The first is the material challenge, which requires materials durable enough with strong magical compatibility while being lightweight.

Mounting loads of steel armor onto Bipedal Dragons won’t increase their speed but obstruct their flying.

Air glass provides a perfect solution to this issue now.

The second challenge is the energy challenge, as the Shadow Flyer utilizes the power of death.

It is inapplicable to the living, forceful application would be tantamount to slow suicide.

The teacher has a solution for this issue, and the remaining task is practical research. Any findings will be immediately applied to your forces."
