Chapter 1312 Reform of Typical Promotion Mechanism for Senior Technicians
After listening to Gardner's introduction, Xia Duo also had a general understanding of the recent situation of the Magic Mechanic Office, especially about the mid-level mechanic.

What he learned before was that there were indeed low-level mages in the magic mechanic who were about to upgrade, but they hadn't upgraded at that time, and after they upgraded, it was not sure whether they would stay in the magic mechanic.

Theoretically, when the official mages of the Tower of Time reach the middle level, everyone has the opportunity to set up their own private research room.

Some outstanding ones even set up their own private research rooms in the period of low-level mages, such as Tilak.

Although there are certain historical reasons for this and it was supported by Xia Duo, it also proved the feasibility of this matter to a certain extent.

In the eyes of traditional spellcasters, the establishment of a private research laboratory can be regarded as a goal in life.

As for magic technicians, although there is "magic" in their names, they are actually more like porters on the pier. Even if the current treatment of magic technicians is not inferior to ordinary mages of the same level, some people still can't change their minds. Come on.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help asking: "Who are those two full-time mid-level technicians? Is there any Akers?"

"Yes, it's Aix and Danos. They just became mid-level mages not long ago, and I promoted them to mid-level mechanics." Gardner replied.

Hearing the two familiar names of Aix and Danos, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel moved. Aix was a low-level apprentice and junior mechanic that he had an impression of before, and he also encouraged the development of mid-level mechanic in the other direction.

Unexpectedly, after the other party became an intermediate mage, he still chose to stay at the magic mechanic. Xia Duo immediately decided to continue to train the other party to be a high-level mechanic and become a typical representative of the new era and new system of the Tower of Time!

As for Danos, he was originally an apprentice, or subordinate, of Sandur, an intermediate mage. Even though he has become an official mage, he has been squeezed by his mentor for a long time.

Later, during the transformation of the Tower of Time system, under the encouragement of Xia Duo, Danos and another apprentice of Sandur unanimously chose to leave Sandur's laboratory.

Under the new regulations, the owner of the private research room and the low-level mage members who join it have the power to choose each other, and also stipulate the minimum wage and maximum working hours.

It is almost unrealistic for Sandur to want to engage in bottomless squeeze.

It's just that Sandur's reputation is not good, and no low-level mage is willing to join his laboratory. Now he is working in the magic item mass production design laboratory of mid-level mage Horst, which is a good ending.

And the former apprentice, Danos, has now become a middle-level mage like him, and will even continue to improve in the future because of Xia Duo's more care.

At that time, I don't know if Sandur will feel regretful when he thinks of the squeeze that year.

It should be, and it should be regretted now.

If he can continue to work hard in Horst's laboratory, he may not be a good comrade in the future.

……

After chatting with Ganal for a while, Xia Duo went to see the eight magic technicians who were working hard to practice the operation of the spell branch of [Resist Demon Aura].

Among them were two mid-level mechanics, Aix and Danos.

Xia Duo expressed concern and condolences to them one by one, and answered their questions one by one during the process of practicing the spell of [Resisting Devil's Aura].

……

After leaving the magic mechanic, Xia Duo went to several classrooms one after another, observing the teaching situation of the apprentices for a while, and finally he quietly came to the Academic Affairs Office without disturbing anyone on the teaching side.

Today, Jose seldom participates in actual teaching tasks, but settles down and devotes all his energy and time to the research of teaching materials.

When Xia Duo arrived, Jose was squinting at a wood pulp book on the desk, holding a pen in his hand to circle the book from time to time.

"Master Jose, long time no see!" Xia Duo greeted casually.

Hearing someone calling his name, Jose woke up immediately, and when he saw that it was Xia Duo, he got up quickly and greeted: "Good morning, Master Xia Duo!"

"Good morning." Xia Duo replied.

"I heard that you went to Severton before, sir, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon. Do you have any special instructions for coming to the Academic Affairs Office this time?"

"There are some things that need to be handed over to you, but I don't feel relieved to hand them over to other people."

When Xia Duo said this, Jose immediately straightened his waist again, with a proud look, he said loudly: "Please give me your orders."

"Take it easy, don't be so formal."

Xia Duo waved his hand and asked him to sit down and talk, Jose did so, and then Xia Duo continued to explain:

"I brought you some reference materials. Combined with these materials and the actual situation of the apprentices of the Tower of Time, I need you to prepare a textbook writing team as soon as possible. The Tower of Time will release new textbooks!"

"A new textbook?"

Jose was shocked immediately. In his opinion, the teaching materials used by the apprentices of the Tower of Time are already very good. If he could meet such teaching materials back then, he might be able to dream of some arcanists.

Even now, he has gained a lot from reading such textbooks. Arcanists can't guarantee it, at least high-level mages and archmages are relatively stable.

Because of this, he attaches great importance to teaching materials, and is even willing to spend a lot of time and energy trying to improve existing teaching materials.

Now hearing Xia Duo’s request for a new edition of textbooks, Jose’s first reaction was that apart from lamenting that the world was changing so fast that he couldn’t keep up, his biggest feeling was surprise.

Then he stared at Xia Duo's paper books on his desk one by one with a hungering gaze, and even kept urging in his heart—take it faster, take more!

But it is a pity that although Xia Duo has a lot of portable space, the reference materials he prepared for Jose are quite limited.

The main thing is the standard teaching materials of the Magic Academy under the Judgment Division brought back from [Projection Plane Remains of the Empire]. The content covers the main knowledge system from enlightenment to intermediate level, as well as the question bank that Xia Duo values ​​most.

In fact, the teaching materials used by the Tower of Time are not bad in terms of knowledge system and teaching aids. After all, Xia Duo also refers to the teaching materials of the Magic Academy in the heyday of the Arcane Empire for these contents.

In the stage of the remnants of the empire, the textbooks of the college have been updated, but the most changed thing is the exam, which is simply appalling.

It can be said that the biggest reason why the graduates of the magic academy in the survivor stage are not intermediate mages is that they failed in the exam.

It's not that you can't upgrade, but that if you don't pass the promotion assessment, you won't be able to obtain the authority that belongs to the middle-level mage.

This is actually the main reason why Xia Duo wants to introduce an examination system in the Tower of Time, separating strength from authority and treatment, and re-establishing a more reasonable promotion mechanism to adapt to the future situation where the proportion of spellcasters is increasing.
