Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1297

In fact, if you think about it carefully, what Elise said is almost certain to happen.

The sage predicted that the golden scroll was the key to the revival of the empire, and the great arcanists above would definitely be cautious about this, and it was reasonable to block the news until later when there was no guarantee that they would get it.

If Xia Duo was the decision maker above, he would also make such a choice.Only in this way, even if it is impossible for him to obtain the private version of the scroll from this projection plane!

"Ugh--"

What else can Xia Duo say!

……

After returning to the laboratory, Xia Duo suddenly thought that the Judicial Division would send Elise to head the headquarters to recruit people on the spot, so how could the research institute still wait for the number of ready-made apprentices?

Obviously, this year the academy has added a lot of laboratories, requiring a large number of apprentices (assigned in units of laboratories), but the number of people who can graduate from the academy each year is indeed relatively stable.

Although it is also growing slowly, it is definitely not as good as the sudden arrival of the research institute.

The Judgment Division has received the news and sent people to the site to recruit people. If the research institute is behind, the gap is not one or two points, especially for those outstanding graduates who are ranked in the front, maybe none of them can be recruited.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo suddenly had some bad premonitions. His own laboratory was full of twelve apprentices, but his cooperative laboratory didn't have any, just waiting for this year's allocation!

It was also fortunate that Elise called him, otherwise, Xia Duo would not realize that the time has unknowingly come to the graduation season.

So, he hurriedly contacted the dozen or so collaborators and informed them to go to various colleges to grab people, and he could borrow his own name when necessary.

"Got it, I'll go right away."

The first one to reply was Ross, and after him, the replies from others also came one by one, without exception, they were all news of leaving immediately.

Although mentoring apprentices does have an impact on laboratory projects to a certain extent, with apprentices, not only can they be used as spell batteries to increase the number of experiments per day, but they can also be used to do some chores.

They are called "apprentices", but at least they are all middle- and low-priced mages who have received college education. They only need a little training before they can join the normal operation of the laboratory.

On the whole, the advantages to the progress of the project still outweigh the disadvantages.

……

In the evening, Xia Duo received a message from Ross, "We just came back from the academy. We have two news, one good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

As soon as he heard the bad news, Xia Duo knew something was wrong, and hurried out of the lounge. In the hall, Ross and the others were already making a fuss.

Seeing Xia Duo coming out, everyone immediately quieted down. Ross separated from the crowd and came to Xia Duo, but Xia Duo didn't see any disappointed expression on his face, but a smile on his face.

"Roz, Roz, I didn't expect you to learn badly. Tell me, what is the good news, and what is the good news?"

"Let's talk about the bad news first. We went late, and the base has almost run out of people!"

Xia Duo raised his eyebrows. He knew that the base mentioned by Ross was the Judicial Division, which included the field service department, production, planting, raising, and even the college itself, which were the most recruited in previous years.

In previous years, the research institute only selected the best few top talents, but this year it was too late, and I don’t know what was left behind!

But don't say that you can't even reach an official mage, that would be too funny.

But looking at Ross like this, it seems that things have turned for the better, but Xia Duo didn't point it out. He deliberately pretended to be a little worried and asked, "What about the good news?"

"Good news—"

Ross also tried to sell it off on purpose, but the others couldn't bear it anymore and helped him out, "The good news is that Dean Bernie had anticipated all of this a long time ago and booked a group of people in advance, although there are fewer people than in previous years. some, but now those people have all joined our lab!"

Xia Duo was not too surprised when he first heard that Dean Bernie made an appointment in advance. It is already the common understanding of the survivors of the empire to gather the best talents for research.

He estimated that even if Dean Bernie didn't make reservations in advance, the college would reserve people for the research institute in advance, but now that there are suddenly a large number of new laboratories in the research institute, there are still not enough people for everyone.

But when he heard the last sentence "All people have joined their laboratory", only one word came to Xia Duo's mind - "Eat alone"!
All the people who were supposed to be equally distributed to all the new laboratories were put into the dozen or so laboratories of Ross and Huck. (If there are apprentices promoted in other laboratories, the vacant places will also need to be filled, but the excess will not be taken away)

No wonder there was no disappointed expression on their faces.

It's just that eating alone is easy to make people angry. Xia Duo himself doesn't care, but he is afraid that Ross and Huck won't be able to bear it, so he asked again:
"Have you contacted Vice President Samuel about this matter? What did he say?"

"I have contacted. Deputy Dean Samuel said that as long as we arrive first, we can get first. This is the acquiescence of Dean Bernie. We don't need to do anything later. He said that he will help us deal with it. "

"That's it!"

Xia Duo was silent for a while, knowing that Vice President Samuel was showing his favor to him, and that President Bernie should also have the intention of supporting him, and it might even be a kind of reward.

Reward him for his contribution to improving the atmosphere of the Institute.

"Since that's the case, then you guys just put it away and just do some research in the future."

Having said that, Xia Duo has already decided to visit Dean Bernie and Vice-President Samuel in person tomorrow, and the management center will also go there.

In the past half a year, in the laboratory cooperation system, he has been mainly promoting his own research plan. Except for a few projects that can complement his own plan, he has not accepted any of the project tenders posted above. .

In reciprocation, perhaps we should also pick up more of the above projects.

Even if it has nothing to do with his research plan for the time being, returning to the main plane can also be used as the accumulation of the Tower of Time, which is not a loss.

……

On the second day, Xia Duo didn't visit the second floor early in the morning, but waited until lunch time to set off. Once he got there, he knew he had chosen the right time to come.

Because he met seven or eight Level 1 researchers who might have come to sue.

To these people, Xia Duo didn't have any good looks, and of course he didn't have any bad looks. When passing by them, he just treated them as air and didn't even look at them.

When we arrived at Dean Bernie's No. 2 laboratory, eight or nine people crowded into the not-so-small reception room. The atmosphere was rather weird, but so far, those few people hadn't made any particularly unfriendly actions.

At most, he cursed in a low voice, but Xia Duo pretended not to hear it. For this kind of people, the more you care about them, the more proud they will be. On the contrary, the more you don't care, the more sad they will be.

Until the dean's assistant came out and invited Xia Duo to a nearby lounge, the faces of the seven or eight first-level researchers were so wonderful.

Even two of them couldn't stand the blow and left the reception room on the spot. As for where they were going, Xia Duo naturally had no control.

Because at this moment, he has seen Dean Bernie again.

　If there is no accident, this projection plane will end tomorrow. In fact, if you want to write, you can write a lot of things, such as asking the development department to find the golden scroll, and then try to get it, or the elves are attacking, drow betrayal, etc. , but this projected plane is already too long, let's end it,

Whether there is a private Nether scroll or not doesn’t actually have a big impact. Anyway, Xia Duo can go to the Arcane Federation to borrow it at any time now. It’s just for the convenience of other people in the Tower of Time to read.
After returning to the main plane, the Miser Energy Core was born. Of course, this does not appear in an instant. There will be a time. For example, the problem of the elf oracle mentioned earlier, the magic lock of Lake Mecht, etc., are all related to this related.

During the period, the establishment of the Northland Alliance is considered a small event, and Xia Duo will not participate. It is considered a background time, and there will be side effects, such as Danzo's military orders will increase.
