Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1397 Returning to Enlightenment
(There are revisions and additions at the end of the previous chapter)
The reason why Xia Duo wants to do this is that apart from the fact that Midsummer Festival really needs a holiday, the more important thing is to let the people of the two places—especially the people of the Savile Territory—have a deeper understanding of the new policy of the Tower of Time. know.

The previous expansion of the Tower of Time's enrollment has caused a lot of repercussions in the Savile Territory, but the actual effect is not very satisfactory. After all, there is no precedent, and the training of mages is notoriously expensive.

Except for a small number of voluntary sign-ups to try early adopters, most of them are tasks imposed by the mayor of Thain.

Coupled with the relocation of the Tower of Time, it is inconvenient for new apprentices from Savile Land to come and go. Many people have not left the Tower of Time since entering the Tower of Time!

This Midsummer Festival, Xia Duo said that he would let this group of people go back. It can be regarded as a warm-up in advance for the next new apprentice recruitment plan of the Tower of Time!

……

The lobby on the first floor of the Tower of Time.

After receiving the notice from the Academic Affairs Office, the apprentices from Savile Land rushed here from the public floor by elevator.

They have never felt the pressure of the old system, and their emotions are very obvious. They look like teenagers, or they complain about the sudden expulsion of people from the Tower of Time, or they tell their familiar companions about their homesickness.

Most of them are discussing why the Tower of Time is forced to take a holiday this time, guessing whether the courses and exams will be more onerous after the holiday!
Standing in the middle of the hall, Xia Duo looked at the energetic new apprentices, and sighed in his heart, this is how they look like students!

When the people were almost here, Xia Duo stretched out his hand and pressed down, the spell followed, and the hall became extremely quiet in an instant.

Some apprentices who were talking just now realized that there was a sudden silence, and couldn't help opening their mouths even more, as if they wanted to shout, but they still couldn't make any sound.

"Attention all apprentices, I will summon the portal leading to the central square of Savile Town later. Everyone line up and enter from both sides in turn. When you reach the opposite side, leave as soon as possible. Don't block others."

After finishing speaking, Xia Duo summoned a medium-sized portal about three meters high and five meters wide in the center of the hall. The mirror-like portal clearly showed the scene of the opposite central square——

The mayor of Thain was commanding the guards in the territory to maintain order, and the outside was almost full of onlookers, including many family members of apprentices, who came to "pick up the station" after receiving the news.

Following Xia Duo's order, the apprentices in the hall on the first floor of the Tower of Time lined up in a neat line, entering from both sides of the portal in turn, and as soon as they reached the opposite side, they immediately rushed towards the crowd.

There were three or four hundred apprentices in total, and they were all gone soon.

After that, Xia Duo himself walked into the portal, came to the central square, and used a small spell to transmit the sound to the entire square:

"This year's Midsummer Festival, the Tower of Time is expected to recruit 200 apprentices of the right age. Those who are interested can come to the town office for consultation."

After Xia Duo finished speaking, he nodded to Mayor Sion, walked into the portal again, and returned to the Tower of Time. When he lifted the spell of the portal, he saw Mayor Sion dispersing the crowd.

Just about to send a message to Thain to let him take such a good opportunity to promote the publicity, Niya, who was just observing in the study on the top floor, has come here.

"After Midsummer Festival, you still have to go to Savile to pick them up?"

"How could that be!"

Xia Duo said with a smile, "That is to say, I came back later this time. If it was earlier, I would have arranged for a boat to pick them up. How they will come back the day after tomorrow has already been arranged by Mayor Sain, so I don't need to worry about it."

In fact, Xia Duo didn't mind picking up those apprentices again, but the situation on Severton's side should not be missed, and he needed to keep up with the progress of Iolum's experiment.

As for why the portal of the Tower of Time is not used, it is because the semi-permanent portal has a limited number of people passing through it in a short period of time, and the other portal requires a certain amount of maintenance costs to pass through a person.

It's better to cast a spell and send someone there.

Even if there are more great mages in the Tower of Time in the future, as long as Xia Duo encounters this kind of thing, he still doesn't mind doing it.

After all, apprentices are the basis for the development of the Tower of Time, so we should pay more attention to them!
……

The apprentices from the Savile Territory are on vacation, and the apprentices from the Great Xia Territory are no exception, but the Tower of Time is in the Great Xia Territory, and they can walk through the gate of the Tower of Time without Xia Duo opening the door.

Although the gate of the Tower of Time also has the nature of teleportation, the consumption is much lower than that of ordinary portals, and even if it is continuously opened, it will not have much impact.

But also because of the convenience of traveling, not all the apprentices from Daxia Ling want to go home. They will inevitably be dragged by their relatives to perform tricks when they go home, and there is no atmosphere for learning at all.

If you play a lot, you might fail the weekly and monthly exams after the holidays.

Therefore, many apprentices led by Daxia go home to eat, and rush back to the Tower of Time after eating, and wait until Midsummer's Day to go out to relax.

……

One day passed quickly, and the time came to the next day—the Midsummer Festival in the year 837 of the Nether calendar.

Early this morning, before dawn, Xia Duo and Niya came to Savile Town together to participate in the Sunrise Ceremony of the Midsummer Festival to welcome the sun up.

The moment the red sun jumped out of the horizon, Xia Duo's mood seemed to be affected by some kind of infection, and his whole person became sunny and full of hope for the future.

The worry that had been hanging in his heart for the attention of the elves disappeared without a trace in an instant. At this moment, he really wanted to shout out——

"For the sake of sacrifice, dare to call the sun and the moon a new day!"

However, he couldn't say it out after all, but in his heart, he had silently recited it countless times, and a kind of awareness triggered by the thought of a sage spontaneously arose at this moment——

Inter-Nexonal will definitely come true!

The sages in his hometown may not be able to see where the order he created is going, but Xia Duo, who has obtained the initial immortality, can watch his order grow, develop, and continue little by little.

What a blessing!

But ideals are always inseparable from a group of like-minded people. Xia Duo thought of entering the society, the full name of which is "Progressive Learning Society", which is the like-minded people he cultivated.

Technology and culture are highly developed, and all people are fully developed.

Xia Duo really wants to see that kind of civilization. Although his current awareness has not yet reached the level of Internexonal, he still has that kind of pursuit!
This is not only the inertia derived from his hometown experience, but also his most sincere expectation from the bottom of his heart.

In his opinion, perhaps this is one of the ultimate goals that every intelligent creature strives for, and heaven is nothing more than that.

……

After the Sunrise Ceremony, Xia Duo took Niya to sit in the temple for a while. The outside was already bustling, but there was a rare sense of tranquility in the temple.

After pouring a cup of tea, Xia Duo and Niya chatted about recruiting newcomers to the Tower of Time.
