Over the next several days, Liszt spent nearly half of each day conducting coordination training with the Invisible Dragon. Though he had yet to devise any battle qi secret manuals or techniques, he had already become proficient in using Crystal-White Vision. Through it, he even discovered several elves in the nearby forest.
He found neither Great Elves nor Little Elves, only six ordinary plant Elf Bugs, whose economic value was not particularly high.
He now possessed over a hundred Elf Bugs, so he no longer paid much attention to any single one. But an elf was still an elf, with tremendous potential value. Who knew whether a weed-type Elf Bug might suddenly become immensely valuable after nurturing a mutated medicinal weed?
Thus, every Elf Bug had to be cared for meticulously.
To that end, he was already planning to establish a department dedicated to researching, discovering, protecting, and cultivating elves, one that would oversee all the elves in the territory. Mages were undoubtedly the most suitable main force for elf research, but Liszt had always been striving to move away from "mages" and did not want mages too deeply involved in the territory's operations.
"Why not downplay the profession of mage and promote the arcanist system instead? Not only mages can join the arcanist system—knights can join it as well... Iron Knights can barely count as research-oriented units. The arcanist system will be easier to control."
Therefore.
After careful consideration, he decided to use the establishment of an elf research and cultivation unit as an opportunity to reform the territory's spellcaster system and formally transition toward the arcanist system.
"The new research institution will be called the Elf Academy. The academy will serve as a foundational research unit for the territory's arcanists, integrating industry, education, and research... The Elf Academy
