Transylvania Scholarship Program for Government-Sponsored Students?_2

“We are not yet strong enough to act recklessly and disregard the thoughts of our neighboring peers,” Murphy tapped the table, explaining to Milian:

“Although the Kato area is officially part of the Golden Flower Kingdom, you know that after the Wolf Poison Clan offered its loyalty to King Louis, he gave that land as a fief to the Vampires of Wolf Poison, calling it a reward but in reality, he was brazenly sending the unstable elements within the country to the frontline facing the Black Disaster.

Old Edward had to be grateful for this, alas, the kindness of those in power is always so heavy and bloody…”

In essence, the dark areas of the Kato area are currently under the management of my kindred, so my Warriors recruiting refugees there can be seen as friction and confrontation between the Blood Vulture and Wolf Poison.

This will not escalate to the political level, so you can be at ease about that.

Furthermore, the fact that my Warriors inadvertently lured a group of Avalon Cultists to Transylvania shows that the natural believers present in the Kato area are a very good source of population.

This place used to be the location of the southern sanctuary of the Avalon Church, just across a mountain from the Antani District on the border with the Elf Kingdom, a traditional ‘natural beliefs power zone’.

Now that the Avalon Church has been reconstructed in Transylvania, those believers who have maintained their faith through ten years of war naturally want to come here for pilgrimage.

Milian, you must understand, such natural population movements don’t even require us to push things along; we only need President Natalie to send missionaries to make a round there and there’ll be a steady stream of believers migrating towards us.”

With that said, I wish to retain my Warriors’ right to operate in the Kato area, and you must understand, my Warriors yearn to serve the development projects of Transylvania, which in itself is an act of worshipful virtue!

We may not reward,

But we must never suppress them—guided properly, their enthusiasm can yield incredibly positive results.”

“Ah…”

The Crimson Regent, seeing Murphy’s insistence, had nothing else to say.

In fact, before coming here, Professor Malcolm had told her that actions in the Kato area could be accepted, and now it’s proven that her history tutor was indeed formidable in this respect.

He could even guess Murphy’s attitude towards the matter; she was still somewhat naive.

After a few seconds of contemplation, Milian, massaging her temple, said:

“If you insist on letting your Warriors operate in the Kato area, then I have a suggestion.

We might take this opportunity to send some talented children to the Ligurian Peninsula, as the Kato area and the Peninsula are adjacent.

A few dozen kilometers south from Lake Xiuerpres, one can reach the steam train station established by the Half-body Men on the border between the two areas.

Then, traveling southwards, they will arrive at Charldo Harbor, which is the route I used when I went to school.”

The Governor spoke earnestly:

“Professor Malcolm and I have actually been preparing for this, sending these children to the Shaldo University of Craftsman to participate in short-term administrative accelerated courses.

In just over half a year of study, they can gain the ability to partake in basic civil service, and it also allows them to avoid the impending disaster.

Moreover, on this journey, we can invite the merchants from the Batasin Business Association to join us.

If we can complete the contact with the Half-body Men’s business associations and factories before the outbreak of the Black Disaster and invite them to send back the equipment we need, our preparations for war will be much smoother.”

“Great idea!”

Murphy’s eyes lit up.

He had indeed not taken into account the unique geographical location of the Kato area.

If they could get in touch with the Half-body Men now, many of the mechanical products needed in the territory would have a channel for procurement.

The Governor pondered for a moment, then said:

“Whether sending the children for training or conducting commercial exchanges, we need a heavyweight to lead.

I cannot let you leave, Milian, as you are too important to the whole of Transylvania now.

So, how about letting Professor Malcolm lead the group there?

His wife has always said she wanted to send her two children back to the Half-body Men, right?

This is a perfect opportunity.”

“That’s what I was thinking too.”

Milian brushed her hair aside and said:

“If we want the Shaldo University of Craftsman to set up a special accelerated class for our children, only someone with connections like the professor could do it.

However, we’ll probably have to pay for their living expenses in Charldo Harbor out of our pocket, which honestly is a bit of a stretch for the current budget.”

“The Blood Vulture Clan can provide the funds,”

Murphy firmly decided:

“You arrange this immediately, don’t worry about the money.

The focus is to choose the right people.

Our grain trade with the Beilao is now stable.

Miss Pailian, as a representative of the merchants, can accompany Professor Malcolm.

I trust her business acumen and decisiveness.

We need to compile a list of various machine tools and essential industrial production items.

If possible, I hope she can sign a long-term supply contract with the Half-body Men’s factories.”
