Xiao Ke flew over, "Master, I recommend you start with simple characters and progress step by step."
Xiao Xun thought again, "Xiao Ke."
"I'm here, Master."
"Help me buy a literacy book for preschoolers online."
Xiao Ke's lens flashed green, "I have purchased 'Fun Literacy: A Must-Read Compendium for Preschoolers' for you. The order has been generated and is expected to arrive within two days."
Before he could learn to read, he couldn't do anything here.
He thought about going out. As soon as he stepped out the door, he suddenly remembered that he was still wearing the clothes of this era, and that saber.
He abruptly lifted his robe and found that the saber was still there. He then unfastened a corner of the robe, and the clothes were still there. Xiao Xun was overjoyed and shouted, "Great, the items from that world can actually be brought out. This is truly heaven-sent!"
He suddenly had a brilliant idea and rushed back into the Guangyin Divine Hall, saying to Xiao Ke, "Xiao Ke."
"I'm here."
Xiao Xun said to Xiao Ke, "Help me buy the best gun in this world."
Xiao Ke actually said, "I'm sorry, Master, I don't understand your request. Please rephrase it."
"Xiao Ke, can I buy weapons?"
Xiao Ke replied, "Master, according to current legal regulations, no lethal weapons can be bought or sold."
Xiao Xun, disappointed, took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and looked up at Xiao Ke, saying, "Xiao Ke, buy me a case of Coke."
Xiao Ke's lens flashed green, "I have purchased a case of 24 cans of 350ml Coke for you. The order has been generated and is expected to arrive tomorrow."
Xiao Xun said excitedly, "This is so convenient. I wish I had such a smart speaker in my world."
As he spoke, Xiao Xun walked out with the bottle of water. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out the door, the water in his hand instantly turned into sand, just like the first time he came.
"Could it be that food cannot be taken out?"
Xiao Xun decided to test it, but he found everything inside quite useful. He took a piece of white paper and walked out. Without a doubt, it also turned into sand, albeit a small amount.
But this also proved that it was not easy to take things out of the Guangyin Divine Hall.
After leaving the Guangyin Divine Hall, he went directly to Bai Yang's residence.
Bai Yang was meditating on a large chair, his body floating slightly. Xiao Xun did not disturb him and stood there quietly.
He stood for nearly an hour and felt that Bai Yang's meditation had no time limit, so he coughed lightly.
Bai Yang slowly descended and then opened his eyes, "Your Majesty the Divine Emperor, you are here."
Xiao Xun nodded, thinking: This kid hasn't forgotten about the Divine Emperor, I almost forgot.
"Go and inform the rest of the people to rest well. Also, tell Libra to speed up the research and development of that black powder, and then come back with me."
"Yes!"
Bai Yang completed Xiao Xun's request with extreme speed and then took Xiao Xun back to the capital of Saint Roman.
There was still some time before dinner when they returned to the castle, but because it was wartime, many rules were abolished. For example, Fulao Niya had not eaten in the castle for many times. Now she just ate casually at the Fire Shield Divine King Palace.
After eating a bite before the mealtime, Xiao Xun took a car with Bai Yang towards the Fire Shield Divine King Palace.
Suddenly, a person descended from the sky and pushed the front of the magic car Xiao Xun was in with one hand.
The driver quickly stepped on the brake and turned to Xiao Xun, saying, "Your Highness, this is the champion of this year's Grand Martial Arts Tournament, Tie Saihou."
Xiao Xun thought: What a strange name. I don't know where he's from.
So he opened the car window and stuck his head out, "You're blocking my car in the street. Is there something you need?"
Tie Saihou walked in front of Xiao Xun, "You are Prince Carlus, right?"
"That's right."
Tie Saihou flexed his strong muscles all over his body and said in a provocative tone, "I heard that you are the most powerful person in Saint Roman, and that Horton of Phoenix Fire couldn't last one round against you. I want to spar with you."
"You're already the number one in the world, do you still need to spar with me?"
Tie Saihou waved his hand, "That doesn't count. I just won the competition, and then someone told me that winning the competition doesn't make you the number one in the world. Only by defeating you can you be the true number one in the world. Also, I heard that the champion of the first Grand Martial Arts Tournament, since following you, not only became a general but also married a beautiful wife, so..."
Xiao Xun's face darkened, "Who told you that? Why is this person so good at stirring up trouble? There are many more people more powerful than me, why don't you go challenge them?"
Tie Saihou pointed at Xiao Xun, "Don't worry about who said it. Today, I'll challenge you first, and then I'll go find that person you mentioned."
"Crazy~"
Xiao Xun closed the car window and told the driver to drive.
The driver stepped on the accelerator, but the car wouldn't move forward.
Then the driver said to Xiao Xun, "Your Highness, Tie Saihou was a famous telekinetic master before participating in the competition."
Xiao Xun directly opened the door and got out of the car, looking at the arrogant Tie Saihou, "What do you want?"
"To defeat you."
Xiao Xun pointed at him, "Okay, you won."
After saying that, he turned to leave. Tie Saihou quickly walked in front of Xiao Xun, "What do you mean by this?"
"I mean, you are the number one in the world, and I am not your opponent. I have very important things to do, please don't hinder me, okay?"
Tie Saihou was stunned for a moment, "No, you must have a match with me, otherwise they won't be convinced."
"I am convinced, alright? Now the Scourge Legion is advancing aggressively, invading so many countries. Instead of using your abilities to protect your homeland, you're always competing with this and that. Even if you truly become the number one in the world, what's the point? Only by driving away the invaders can you be a true hero, a true number one in the world."
After saying this, Xiao Xun got into the car and told the driver to drive directly. This time, Tie Saihou did not stop him but stood on the street, watching the magic car drive away, feeling deeply.
Recruitment posters were plastered everywhere in Saint Roman, and loudspeakers broadcast various recruitment initiatives.
Due to the "Universal Conscription" triggered by Horton's siege last time, there were quite a few people who enlisted in the army in Saint Roman.
In addition to Xiao Xun's Phoenix Army, there was also the Celtic Fearless Vanguard, and the armies of the other five dukes, totaling over a million men.
Xiao Xun's main goal this time was to get a batch of modern soldiers. Therefore, he told the recruitment office that the recruitment conditions not only included physical requirements but also educational requirements. He also asked the Prime Minister for a piece of land to build a military academy specifically to train pilots, tank operators, and commanders.
The teachers were mostly goblins, as they had produced these "great weapons" and therefore knew best how to drive and operate them, as well as other numerous precautions.
In addition to these, Xiao Xun also established a command department training course at the academy. However, most people's thinking here was focused on head-on combat and firepower comparison, so the number of students recruited was small, and Xiao Xun was the only teacher for now.
With the formal establishment of the academy, many royal ministers and officials arrived. Although the empress did not come, she personally erected a commemorative monument for the academy.
Xiao Xun undoubtedly became the first dean of the academy. The first batch of students numbered over three thousand. In addition to theoretical knowledge, the most important thing was practical operation.
Xiao Xun gave these students only one month to study, and everyone had to pass within a month, so the admission standards were very strict.
Many mages heard that they could fire powerful energy without casting spells themselves, and that they could fight while sitting and flying in the sky. They were all very interested in these troop types, and most of the applicants were young people.
In the evening, Xiao Xun returned to his bedroom in the castle. Fulao Niya had not yet returned.
Xiao Xun sat by himself in front of the fireplace, watching the flames. He couldn't feel the heat from the fireplace, but when he extended his hands, he could clearly feel the temperature of the fireplace.
At this moment, he looked down and remembered the safety vest he was wearing, "Could it be the effect of this thing?"
Xiao Xun lifted the vest and immediately felt the heat from the fireplace, "It can even adjust the temperature. This is truly a treasure!"
As he was pleasantly surprised, Mu Jiahe walked in, dragging her tired body. She didn't change her clothes and lay directly on the bed.
"Are you okay?"
