Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1096 The Arrival of Iolum
Not only that, Xia Duo said a more exciting news:
"Currently all minors aged 14 to 16 in the Great Xia Territory have entered the Tower of Time to start learning magic, and the Savile Territory has also provided hundreds of apprentices of the right age."

Xia Duo didn't say the exact number of people, but the frequent words of "all" and "hundreds" still made Conjenio's eyes widen, and his breathing was almost rapid at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true. If Master doesn't believe it, you can visit the Tower of Time anytime!"

Xia Duo's loud words made Conjenio no longer have doubts, but such a fact still shocked him. After a long silence, he gave his own evaluation:
"You did what we wanted to do but couldn't!"

Xia Duo didn't speak, but he could understand how a person like Congeigno, who has a strong sense of belonging to Netheril and looks forward to the development of Netheril, can't think of popularizing education!

But thinking about it doesn't mean you can do it.

This is not only limited by material conditions, but also pressure from inside and outside Netheril. Although Congeigno has a high reputation, it is impossible for everyone to listen to him.

In fact, there is not much he can do. Apart from coordinating the relationship between various internal forces, he can only support some young people in his own name.

The more the superiors take the overall situation into account, the more restrained they will be.

This also made Xia Duo think of his hometown. The leaders of his hometown undoubtedly took care of the overall situation, but it was precisely because of this that his hometown was wantonly tempted and made things difficult by other countries.

Before crossing time, Xia Duo often thought that if someone came to bully him, he should fight back, at least he should act tougher, so that next time more and more people would not bully him.

But now, he can understand the so-called consideration of the overall situation. In addition to the demeanor, quality, and traditional influence, it is actually more out of long-term considerations.

The sages in the hometown have a saying that the profit will not last long, but the morality will last forever.

There is no strong country or individual in the world. If you only conquer with strength, once you are weak, you will naturally be conquered by others with strength.

As the saying goes, what is right is more helpful than what is wrong, and if morality is not lost, even if it is a temporary weakness, it can unite the surroundings to fight against powerful enemies.

Or, to put it more utilitarianly, that is, only when seeking greater and longer-term interests will the overall situation be considered.

Or, taking the overall situation into consideration is to seek greater and longer-term interests.

In fact, not only Conjenio, but also Xia Duo. He firmly believes that he can beat the elves and create a prosperous magic civilization, so he doesn't want to make extra troubles before these realizations.

During the period, it is natural how to be stable, even if you need to suffer some grievances temporarily, you must grit your teeth and accept it. This is the price you must pay on the road to strength.

When you are really strong, you will naturally be satisfied with the inside and outside, and you can get back as many grievances as you have (when your hometown is really strong, will you take revenge on the beautiful country? Personally, I think there is a high probability that it will not, maybe I will beat it a few times, but it will not be too much , liquidate history with the principle of reciprocity, this is the difference between the king and the overlord)~).

"I am the overall situation" is essentially selfish. Of course people can be selfish, but if everything is based on the principle of maximizing self-interest, it would be too sad.

As a grand arcanist, Congeigniou has obtained almost absolute freedom to some extent, but he is willing to "wrong" himself for the overall situation of Netheril. It is hard to say whether it is rational or irrational.

But Xia Duo admired such a person and was willing to get along with such a person.

"Master, I only dared to take such a move in my own territory. If it weren't for the seven towers and the great arcanists standing in front of me, even if I had something in mind, it would be very difficult for me to implement it!"

Regarding this, Conjenio nodded silently, and then sighed again: "Yes! We have too many concerns, let's not talk about these, let's talk about how the Tower of Time absorbs so many apprentices to organize teaching? "

"Yes."

Xia Duo was about to start the lecture, but Congeinio stretched out his hand to signal to wait a moment, Xia Duo was wondering, there was a wave of teleportation in the study, and in the blink of an eye, a middle-aged man in a gray robe teleported over.

It is Iolum!Xia Duo was thoughtful.

But it's good that Iolum is here, and the Austrian Law Federation will officially announce that Iolum will take over as the president soon. There are still many opportunities for the two parties to deal with each other in the future, and it's not bad to get in touch with them in advance.

Thinking that such an unattractive middle-aged man in front of him is likely to invent the [Mither Energy Core] that can change the fate of Netheril in the future, Xia Duo couldn't help but have the idea of ​​urging him to hurry up.

It's really that [Misser's energy core] is too important, and he himself has no idea, otherwise, with Xia Duo's usual style, how could he pin his hopes on others!

But after all, he didn't say anything that shouldn't be said. If because of his words, some of the other party's thoughts have changed, resulting in the "miscarriage" of the [Misser Energy Core], it would be a sad reminder.

In addition, it is also very inappropriate to rashly talk about a secret topic that is most likely to be strictly guarded by the other party.

"I salute you, Your Excellency Iolum!" Xia Duo immediately stood up and saluted.

Iolum nodded slightly, bowed to Conjenio first, and then said to Xiaduo: "Lord Xiaduo, there is no need to be polite. On the road of magic, you and I are the same explorers. I am just an early Just walked a few steps."

"Your Excellency Iolum, you are too self-effacing. Even if you don't talk about your status as a spellcaster, you are still Savile's teacher and the elder of me and Niya. Respect is the most basic etiquette."

Hearing the name "Saville", Iolum's eyes were a little touched, so he didn't say anything more, but asked Conjenio, "Teacher Ain, what do you want from me?"

"Look at these first!" Conjenio said, pointing to the stack of new books on the tea table.

"These books?"

Hearing this, Iolum immediately revealed curious eyes. He has known Conjenio for more than 100 years. Although Conjenio is trying his best to hide his emotions, he still sees it from the other side's eyes. A clue.

He casually picked up the top book of the stack of books on the table, and saw that it read "Newly compiled Tower of Time Level 2 Apprentice Textbook Inner Plane", just seeing the name, Iolum felt something guess.

And he didn't open the contents of the book immediately, but looked at the next one, and saw that it read "Newly Compiled Tower of Time Level 2 Apprentice Textbook Arcane Geometry", which made him even more suspicious of himself. confirmed.

"Teacher Ain, Lord Xia Duo brought these?"
