Chapter 1045 Grand Training Plans
When they got done, he started to visit every mountain, alongside the record tracking team.
"Line up, you'll all get tested by me," William stood at the base of the mountain before adding, "I'll hand everyone a set of techniques and advice, memorise these to the heart, and make sure to write them down later on and practice properly on them…"
He didn't have time to make copies of everything he had and knew it wasn't a good plan either. To save time, he decided to select the best practice for everyone when tested right on the spot, tell them what to do, and they'd have to memorise it all.
One by one he tested, and with every test he'd pick a selected set of training techniques, fighting techniques, and even a spirit purity training manual. He made sure to select the best ones to pave a path for everyone to train and rise to the outer world in the end.
Every mountain had tens of thousands of masters waiting, and it took a long time to do such a startup task. Spending more than ten days at every mountain made him consume months in doing so, and that wasn't going to work.
So he started to do something else. He grouped the masters who had the same spirits, spirit elements, and spirit purity stages together. Then he'd tell all the right path to tread, saving himself lots of time.
Instead of spending months on that, he spent just one month. When he got done, he left tracking the progress of everyone over to Karoline, John, and Thomas.
He started all this by testing them and their selected teams. Even if each picked up a mountain, selecting a grand number of masters like others, they handpicked just a few thousand to follow them around, helping them in that task.
As for others, they were left on their mountains to train. William stressed over them taking shifts and turns, so they wouldn't fall behind as well.
"Now it's time to take care of the subsidiary professions…" As he did that to the masters, he had another task to do, helping artisans and alchemists.
He decided to go all out this time in training. Building up a strong master didn't just depend on spirit power or spirit purity, not only on training and fighting techniques.
Gears, weapons, potions, elixirs, and even special products like powder and toxin were essential as well.
During the initial selection stage, William added another choice, a different one, for his guild masters. Whoever wished for, he could select another path to train at, either being an artisan or an alchemist.
To make everyone understand the importance of this, he made sure to tell everyone that these special teams of masters would take tons of his care and attention, would be provided with everything they'd dream of, and would learn tons of cool stuff, not like anyone else.
He wasn't lying, as to be efficient here they just needed skills, and anyone with talent and dedication could learn any talent, even if it came from the outer world.
He did what he promised, taught them lots of things about forging and concocting, spending weeks in doing so. He made sure they got what he taught them, left tons of advanced blueprints of different stuff, and let them work their hardest to produce the best weapons and war supplies for the guild members.
They might not develop to be the strongest unit in his guild, but with them on everyone's back, everyone would grow to be far stronger than what training could do.
After doing all this, he decided to close on himself for three months, before coming again and checking on their progress. And so he decided to leave for the Scorching Lands city.
"What are you doing here?" When he was about to leave alone, he spotted someone waiting for him at the main gate of the fort. This gate was recently constructed, much bigger than any other gate in the fort, with the broadest falling bridge here.
There he found Anjie, and she wasn't alone. Sloth was standing on top of the wall, seemingly acting like her angel guardian or something.
"I won a six-month period with you," she casually said, shrugging as she added, "You wasted too many months around, and that time won't be calculated."
"I bet other girls won't be happy about it," William grinned, "Besides, don't you have an army to train?"
"They have capable vices," she paused, and looked at Sloth and William got what she meant.
"You asked for the help of your father?" he couldn't believe what she did. She didn't leave behind the vices she selected from the guild, but seemingly brought those old masters and mentors from the capital.
"He is my father, and it's expected for him to support me, right?" she seemed a bit happy about it, while William didn't know what to say back.
This was like cheating, and her father, the king, was helping her out on this.
"The king has to do what he can to protect the most precious people to him, right?" Sloth seemed to enjoy this better than anyone. And frankly seeing his face and hearing his voice made William recall what he did to him back there.
Yet he got over it already. After the shock of losing his beloved friends, things changed for him. He started to act how he should have done a long time ago, since the first moment he came back to this lifetime.
He also knew what Sloth said held deeper meaning behind it. Having such formidable and extremely experienced masters here would let them see the new teachings and methods he developed for his guild. This would back up the kingdom later on, and let it enter a new era.
William didn't mind that. After all, he knew he wasn't going to spend the rest of his life in this world and would go eventually to the upper world.
