Sauron was certainly not a miser; his funds flowed towards education and the establishment of the Adventurers' Guild.

Unlike the imperial capital, in Fulga City, the Adventurers' Guild had not yet been established, but the Elementary Academy had already been built first.

The Elementary Academy widely recruited students. As long as their cultivation talent reached the high grade, they could enroll, and tuition was free. They even received a monthly food allowance. Even commoners at the bottom, as long as they could enroll and were willing to cultivate diligently, would not need to worry about life.

This benefit pioneered a precedent in the empire. The Elementary Academy's enrollment has been open for more than a week, and the students who have come to register are endless.

Unfortunately, among the commoners and serfs, there were indeed very few students with cultivation talent, and a large number of them failed to meet the minimum enrollment standards.

However, thanks to the massive population base, the Elementary Academy was still able to screen from the many applicants and successfully recruit 400 new students with free tuition.

Although this number was not huge, it fully demonstrated the importance of the population base in the enrollment process.

Sauron stood inside the solemn and ancient auditorium's podium of the Elementary Academy. He looked around, only to see more than a thousand energetic students standing densely below the stage, their eyes filled with longing and desire for the future.

Among these students, 400 were specially admitted, selected for their outstanding cultivation talent or special abilities. The other six hundred students earned this valuable learning opportunity through regular entrance exams, relying on their own efforts and strength.

Sauron cleared his throat, raising his hands as if to embrace the enthusiasm and vitality of the entire auditorium.

"Ahem, everyone, please be quiet!" His voice was deep and powerful, penetrating every corner.

The noise below the stage gradually dissipated, and the auditorium fell into silence.

The students focused their attention on Sauron, anticipating his speech.

Sauron smiled slightly and began his opening speech: "Dear students, welcome to Fulga Elementary Academy! Here, you will embark on a new journey, exploring unknown territories, and challenging your own limits."

His words were full of passion and encouragement, like a warm current pouring into the hearts of every student.

The students were infected by his words, and a firm look appeared on their faces.

Standing on the podium, Sauron spoke in a loud voice: "The empire has not yet truly reached its peak. The plane we are in is vast and boundless, and no one knows its true size. Therefore, we must constantly learn and constantly strive for progress. The northern wilderness, the southern swamps, the western deserts, and countless unknown territories are waiting for us to explore and develop.

Even beyond the sea, whether there are other continents is unknown. Only by constantly learning and making ourselves stronger can we lay the foundation for exploring new worlds. Only by becoming true powerhouses can we be qualified to uncover the mysterious veil of the new world."

He looked around, his eyes like torches, and continued: "There is still vast land in the new world waiting for our footsteps. Are you willing to spend your life merely as an ordinary adventurer, commoner, or slave?"

Sauron's voice suddenly rose, and he asked loudly: "Don't you want to become nobles one day and enjoy that honor and glory? Answer me!"

"Yes!" The students shouted in unison, their voices echoing in the auditorium, full of longing and determination.

Sauron nodded, his eyes flashing with satisfaction, and he said passionately: "Since you have such lofty aspirations, then you must work hard and study diligently. Only in this way, when that glorious moment arrives, can you bravely take that decisive step and illuminate the entire continent with the glory of our empire!"

These words not only stirred the hearts of every student present but also made the adventurers who participated in the opening ceremony boil with enthusiasm, their eyes flashing with longing for the unknown world.

Although the nobles were curious, they did not delve into it. They were already accustomed to all kinds of empty promises on this continent and were already immune.

Even these knowledgeable nobles had to admit how big Sauron's pie was, which was really exciting.

Throughout the continent, the atmosphere of adventure became more and more intense.

The adventurers were eager to try, eager to show their skills in the grand world envisioned by Sauron, while the nobles and wealthy merchants watched from the sidelines, looking for possible investment opportunities.

In the eyes of the nobles, Sauron's ability to draw a pie was simply superb.

If all these vast lands were developed, how many new nobles would be born!

Prime Minister Robert stood aside, nodding frequently, obviously attracted by this grand idea.

At least from this point of view, the establishment of Fulga Elementary Academy was undoubtedly extremely successful.

It ignited the students' enthusiasm for learning.

Now, the academy is filled with a strong learning atmosphere, and every student is full of dreams.

As soon as Sauron walked steadily down from the podium, Robert hurried to meet him, with a worried look on his face. "Your Highness, the fertilizer bricks have arrived." He said with a bitter face, "As soon as the news spread, the nobles in the Northwest swarmed like ants attracted to honey, and the threshold of the Empire Development Chamber of Commerce is about to be broken."

Robert's words revealed deep concern.

It was not only because of the surging crowds but also because this group of nobles did not hesitate to fight each other in order to compete for the right to purchase fertilizer bricks.

Inside the Chamber of Commerce, gorgeous clothes and noble status seemed so insignificant at this moment. Everyone's eyes flashed with greed and anxiety, just to compete for the precious fertilizer bricks.

The conflict intensified, and the originally orderly Chamber of Commerce became a mess.

The nobles pushed, shoved, and argued, and some had even drawn their swords. The atmosphere was so tense that a spark could ignite a big explosion.
