Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1315 Successive Promotions Introducing Hometown
After the promotion is completed, Donald will have the authority and treatment of an official mage in the Tower of Time. With his relationship with Xia Duo, he can completely set up his own private research room like Tilak, and get the strong support of the Tower of Time .

However, it is obvious that Donald prefers to stay in the Tilak Research Laboratory, and he did not express any desire to establish a private laboratory in his conversations with Xiaduo and De Park afterwards.

……

After Donald, there was an apprentice named "Marcy". Xia Duo also had an impression of him. He was someone he knew during his apprenticeship, but the relationship was not as close as that of Dean, Sammy or even Donald.

Like Donald, this Marcy apprentice also chose to show his spellcasting level in the form of [Ascension Ring Trial], and was successfully promoted.

Afterwards, several people in a row were apprentices that Xia Duo had known before, so there was no need to guess. De Parker definitely gave priority to the group of apprentices who were at the same time or similar to Xia Duo.

For this, Xia Duo was not dissatisfied. In fact, he also wanted to see how the familiar faces were developing now.

What makes Xia Duo feel gratified is that the concept of entering the academy has been accepted by most people. This group of apprentices who applied for promotion may have happened suddenly, but most of them still chose to use the "Ascending Ring Trial" as a way to show themselves. The way spells are cast.

Only a very few people were unable to complete the [Ascending Ring Trial], and only used a simple 1st-level spell to deal with it.

Of course, because Xia Duo had greeted them in advance, De Parker completed the promotion process for those few people according to the promotion standards before the Tower of Time.

However, Xia Duo, who originally wanted to persuade him, did not move. Before, he only thought that most of the people who applied for promotion were promoted by surprise and took shortcuts, so he had the heart to persuade him.

Just like "the law does not blame the public", when everyone wants to take a shortcut, even Xia Duo has to make a compromise.

But fortunately, the current situation is not what he expected. Only a few people chose to take shortcuts, so there is no need for him to persuade them. For some things, once you do it, you have to bear the consequences yourself.

Just like what he said to Master Jose, those who are promoted for the sake of promotion are more likely to go back to complete the apprenticeship course after completing the promotion. It will take a lot of effort to make up for the missing foundation now.

Since there are good models, there should naturally be bad models.

Xia Duo is looking forward to the performance of those people in the future. If you really have the ability, let's slap the face with reality!
……

Xia Duo watched the promotion of a total of 46 people with great interest, but Niya became a little impatient. It was only because Xia Duo was here that she didn't leave on the spot.

But after the two left the personnel department, she still couldn't help complaining, "What's so good about being promoted to an apprentice, isn't it just that there are more people promoted at one time? Didn't you expect it before?"

"Of course I expected it. It's just that this promotion is different from the past. I want to know whether the promotion assessment is accepted by most people, and the development status of the idea of ​​entering the academy in the past. Now it seems that not everyone is willing to accept it. There is a brand new promotion assessment, but at least the vast majority of people agree with the philosophy of entering the society."

"Ascending Ring Trial? Is it really that important?" Niya asked suspiciously.

"Of course it's important, and it's not just the ring-raising trial, but also a more relaxed, open, and inclusive academic atmosphere, which will give magic a strong growth soil. Although it's not obvious now, it will benefit from it in the future." many."

After thinking about it, Xia Duo excluded some sensitive information, and selectively introduced some information about the projection plane Arcane Empire to Niya.

Niya was shocked when she heard this, especially when she heard that the Arcane Empire might be another developmental state of Netheril, she almost froze for more than ten seconds.

"You mean if we go to war with the elves, it might develop like that in the future?" Niya asked in a daze.

After asking, he seemed to be still immersed in the scene of the Arcane Empire described by Xia Duo, and muttered to himself: "That's too cruel."

"uncertain."

Xia Duo shook his head, "The main plane has the influence of gods, so I can't predict what will happen, but what I can be sure of is——

"Although the development of the Arcane Empire is somewhat deformed, in many aspects, it can already be used as the development direction of the future magic civilization, or a template, which has very important reference value."

"Is it because of your hometown?" Niya's big bright eyes flickered, staring at Xia Duo.

Although she has heard descriptions about her hometown from Xia Duo many times, her understanding of Xia Duo's hometown is still very limited, and she only knows that it is a highly developed magical civilization.

This is also an important reason why she has always followed Xia Duo in many things.

"Can you tell me more about your hometown?"

"of course can."

In fact, Xia Duo doesn't care much about disclosing more information about his hometown now. After all, many of the things he does have no reason, at least in the eyes of the local Nether.

As long as no specific technical details are involved, there is no problem at all when translating science into magic. Instead, it can increase its own mysterious attributes and gain invisible prestige blessings.

This time, Xia Duo described all aspects of his hometown in more detail than usual, such as economy, culture, politics, and military affairs. Most importantly, he revealed a key piece of information that was never mentioned in the past——

The hometown population is as high as 14 billion!
Hearing this number, Niya showed an even more exaggerated expression of shock than when Xia Duo introduced the Arcane Empire before, "14 billion?!"

That's how many people!
Based on the current population of the Savile Land of around 28000, it is almost 400 Savile Lands; and based on the current population of nearly 350 million in Netheril, it is almost equivalent to [-] Netherils.

Such a huge and necessarily very complicated society has far exceeded Niya's imagination. She stared blankly at Xia Duo, speechless for a long time.

After a long time, he suddenly said, "No wonder you are so persistent. As for the population of your territory, there are so many people in your hometown!"

Then he asked, "Then how many great arcanists are there in your hometown?"

How to answer this?
Xia Duo scratched his head, and said that it must be zero, but if it is a comparison, it would be too much, "I don't know the specific data, but at least it is counted in tens of millions!"

"Million? Grand Arcanist?"

Fortunately, there was already a population of 14 billion, plus she had heard Xia Duo talk about the magic education in her hometown before, and now when she heard this data again, Niya was surprisingly calm.

She does not suspect that Xia Duo is deliberately exaggerating. After all, no matter how exaggerated, it is difficult for ordinary people to describe many details of a huge society with a population of 14 billion.

But it was still hard for her to imagine what a prosperous world it was!
