Selena didn’t expect Luo De’s goals to be so ambitious.

By comparison, she seemed a bit narrow-minded.

After a long silence, Selena took a deep breath to calm herself.

"Please forgive me, your words are astounding."

Selena straightened up and asked, "What does the Dawn Society need to do?"

"The first point, the militarization of wizard apprentices."

Luo De made no attempt to hide, "Select the spellcasters in the Dawn Society who are suitable for battle and assist the military in combat."

"Only strong military power can make others fear us."

"Moreover, only spellcasters can deal with those priests of the Church," Luo De emphasized.

Selena nodded, "The Church’s divine arts are not weaker than our spells, and they even possess abilities that we do not have."

"Meanwhile, I will cultivate extraordinary military cooperation, specifically to collaborate with wizard apprentices in battle."

Luo De continued, "The legion will also set out when necessary to gather various materials for the spellcasters, allowing scholars like Lusen to focus on research."

"That would be great."

Selena’s tone held a trace of excitement, "This will greatly enhance efficiency."

The path of a wizard is fraught with various difficulties, and solving these difficulties requires the creation of extraordinary items.

Often, the production itself is not difficult, but due to the lack of suitable materials, one ends up running around for months.

Now, if there is an army assisting in collection, even if it’s just searching, and ultimately solved by the wizard apprentices themselves, it will save a significant amount of time.

"What is the second point?" Selena asked with some anticipation.

"The second point is the popularization of standard magic equipment."

Luo De furrowed his brow slightly and said, "I know this sounds somewhat fanciful now, but we at least need to establish such an extraordinary Knight Squad."

"Spellcasters are not skilled in charging, so let the knights charge at the front."

Luo De explained, "And with magic equipment, they can also confront priests and extraordinary creatures."

Selena nodded thoughtfully, "I understand you’re referring to the followers trained by spellcasters in ancient times, now just militarized."

"That’s one way to interpret it," Luo De said.

"In that case, how should things be distributed and executed?"

Selena asked, "I mean, even though I’m the chief councilor of the Dawn Society, I can’t have everyone spend a lot of time crafting magic equipment."

"Moreover, not everyone can craft magic equipment, as many spellcasters haven’t even touched upon the knowledge of alchemy."

Selena shook her head slightly with some helplessness.

Luo De understood what Selena meant, which was to ask what benefits there were for the spellcasters who made magic equipment.

"I will answer those two questions for you after I’m done," Luo De said.

"Sorry,"

Selena said with some apology, "Please continue."

"If the entire Empire is to rise, then there must be a constant emergence of new wizard apprentices."

Luo De paused and said, "Therefore, the third point is that I will establish a Wizard and Witch Academy to recruit these newcomers."

"I hope some of the scholars in the Dawn Society can become mentors at the academy, teaching those newcomers the basic knowledge."

"No problem, this is a good thing, and I believe everyone will be more than willing."

Selena said easily, "This is also the goal of the Dawn Society. By then, I will invite three knowledgeable wizard apprentices to mentor the newcomers."

"Five are definitely not enough," Luo De said.

"It’s enough."

Selena stated with great certainty, "They can take on a hundred new students."

"What I mean is, there won’t be just a few dozen new students."

Luo De said with a smile, "I can’t guarantee a thousand new students, but there will definitely be eight hundred."

Selena looked at Luo De, her eyes full of confusion.

Based on her past experience, even if the entire Empire recruited new students, there would be at most eighty children with talent.

In the Western Alliance, at most two out of ten thousand children would qualify, and there are about four hundred thousand children aged eleven to seventeen in the Empire.

According to Luo De’s account, that meant two out of every thousand children.

But Selena knew that Luo De wouldn’t joke about such matters with her.

"I know you don’t believe it now, but you will understand then," Luo De smiled without elaborating further.

Lusen had already experimented with this, and even if Selena didn’t believe it now, she would in the future.

"As for the remuneration you mentioned, it’s the work-point management system I mentioned to you in the letter."

Luo De took out the list he had shown Fa Fuke earlier and spread it open on the table in front of Selena.

Selena immediately lowered her head to examine it carefully.

Luo De continued, "I will post tasks on this, and every spellcaster who completes a task can earn work points to exchange for materials."

Luo De reiterated what he had told Fa Fuke earlier to Selena.

"Additionally, for the spellcasters joining the army, besides ensuring their basic living, they will earn work points as a salary each month."

"Spellcasters can also sell us materials and magic jewelry in exchange for work points."

"This way, all materials and achievements can be quantified, allowing spellcasters and the military to complement each other and develop together."

After Luo De finished speaking, Selena let out a long sigh.

"I must say, your management system is very fitting, effectively getting everyone to cooperate."

Selena praised with a smile, "However, the management work is enormous..."

"That’s why I need your help, wise lady."

Luo De paused, expressing his thoughts,

"Can the Dawn Society help in crafting a magic item capable of recording work points?"

"It should support recording each person’s work point increase, decrease, deletion, and search."
