Regarding the mission, Li Xin and Luo Jin, of course, wouldn't tell others. Li Xin's qualifications matched this mission quite well, and if everything went smoothly, taking the path to the Canon Law School was also an option. If it wasn't suitable, he could step back to Night Patrol, where at least Luo Jin could still cover for him.
Luo Jin arranged everything thoroughly, not just pushing Li Xin in blindly.
The Canon Law School is good indeed, but not everyone can adapt to it. Luo Jin believed in Li Xin's ability; his only concern was whether Li Xin, who was used to freedom, could integrate into this lifestyle and handle relationships with the students.
Being too unique can easily lead to isolation. When he was young, he was incompatible with others at the Canon Law School. Over time it got a bit better, but he ultimately chose the path of Night Patrol.
Li Xin had already done some research on the Celestial Capital Celestial Martial Divine Mechanism Canon Law School long ago. This mission was also an opportunity, and he wanted to find some clues at the Canon Law School. Even if Luthor didn't write a diary, he would always leave something behind, right?
As for the cultists hidden in the Canon Law School, it all depended on how things unfolded. Luo Jin was in the open and would undoubtedly attract the enemy's full attention. He was different. Wasn't someone as talented as him exactly what the cult needed as future reserve power?
The annual enrollment of new students at the Celestial Capital Canon Law School also garnered much attention. Supported by the Moon God Church, the Canon Law School allowed freedom of belief.
Admissions wouldn't assess religious beliefs, and followers of other Divine Beings could also enter. Naturally, being close could make one feel the Moon God's care and greatness, establishing or changing beliefs was normal.
The same applied elsewhere in the Li Long Kingdom. The Canon Law School was a comprehensive temple of knowledge, previously a Noble Knight Academy, at that time limited to noble children and wealthy merchants who contributed greatly, monopolizing advancement paths.
Luthor's reform cleverly utilized the Church's "equality of all," not genuinely intending to break classes. Even as Grand Governor, one couldn't withstand backlash. The transition from Knight Academy to Canon Law School took considerable time, but the Canon Law School gained more support with the changing times, gradually replacing the Knight Academy.
The influx of outstanding civilians prompted rapid development of the Canon Law School, eventually encompassing disciplines such as Spiritual Ability, Hex-Tech, history, art, theology, and philosophy. Hex-Tech and philosophy advanced significantly during Governor Luthor's tenure, especially Hex-Tech, reaching a level second only to Spiritual Ability.
Before Governor Luthor, the attitude towards Hex Tech on Dao Yuan Continent was derogatory, but as it gradually played a significant role in military and civil domains, every country began to value it. The advent of Hex Spirit Pistols and Hex Airships greatly elevated its status, now widely applied in every country, with Li Long United Kingdom, as the earliest to value it, unsurprisingly advancing the most, strengthening both military and economic power.
Many policies in Luthor's later period were based on the country's strength. The Church Court wasn't easy to negotiate with, but during Luthor's governance, the Kingdom was harmonious. This growth also led neighboring established powers to follow suit.
However, not everyone was Luthor. In terms of Spiritual Ability, Li Long wasn't advantageous, but in understanding Hex-Tech, other countries were still in the stage of imitation and following.
As the initial pilot of the time, Celestial Capital Canon Law School was also Luthor's birthplace. The Knight Academy predecessor's standard was quite ordinary, and back then, Celestial Capital wasn't one of Li Long's five capitals. It gained fame through Hex-Tech, attracting talent nurtured by various churches and organizations.
The most representative aspect of Celestial Capital Canon Law School was Hex-Tech, early on prioritized by Governor Luthor, laying a solid foundation and reputation, a key factor in attracting talent. Only the Royal Capital Dragon Capital could rival it in this regard. At the same time, children of nobles and the wealthy aimed to enter the Canon Law School as an important stepping stone for the future.
When a place gathered churches, nobles, wealthy individuals, and civilian elites, it naturally attracted attention from all forces, including sources from other countries. This was also one of Governor Luthor's rules after overcoming objections, though the entry was strictly regulated.
Li Xin replaced the rigid, murderous Night Patrol attire with the Canon Law School uniform and spent 16 beans for a new haircut from Teacher Tony, instantly transforming into a young aspirant of Dao Yuan.
Breathing the fresh air of the Canon Law School, he felt exceptional. Adapting or not wasn't the issue here; this was unmistakably youth. Surrounded by vibrant young women and incessant laughter, this… was life.
For the first time, Celestial Capital's long, white landscapes under the mild sun seemed almost unreal.
"What on earth is old Luo worrying about? Isn't youth the most beautiful thing in the world?" he thought. He's only 17 or 18 years old... roughly. Whatever the case, he's still a kid.
Li Xin, with a rosy face, watched the passersby, feeling extraordinarily happy. Finally, he was living a normal life. As for work, it's kept in his heart, not on his lips.
His dormitory had three other roommates: Huerta, from the Saxon Tribe, nearly two meters tall, with barbarian heritage, tough and not talkative;
The Saxon Tribe had long been a chronic problem for Li Long Kingdom, known for its rugged customs. It wasn't until Governor Rousseau's tenure that it was wholly resolved, integrating the Barbarians into Li Long Kingdom as significant military strength, guarding the north. The Saxon Barbarians were naturally endowed with brute force and a strong empathic affinity for Spiritual Ability, born warriors.
Lu Shuai, a local young spirit from Li Long, son of a baron, also very handsome, supposedly had some familial connection to Governor Luthor, who was considered his great-grandfather.
Roland, an international student from Moncalleta Kingdom, didn't reveal his family background but exuded wealth and tranquility. In nobility, Moncalleta led the entire Dao Yuan Continent. The long-term favor of the Earth Mother Goddess made other countries envious.
Including Li Xin, he didn't create an elaborate identity, simply saying he came from Underground City and only improved his life after finding his long-lost uncle.
Initially, Luo Jin wanted to give him the identity of a wealthy merchant's son for easy integration. Nobility was out of the question, too easily seen through, and nouveau riche… was ultimately rejected.
After all, pretending to be wealthy required assets, which neither Li Xin nor Luo Jin had. Over the years, despite many salaries and rewards, Luo Jin was liberal with spending, enjoying a philosophy of living in the moment. So, an ordinary family was best.
