Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1412 Preparation Principle Written Interview Three People
"I probably understand what you mean. You mean that we who have reached the end of the magic net should pay more attention to everything in reality, so as to continue to explore the essence of the world."

"Yes."

Xia Duo nodded helplessly. It would not be possible for Iolum to change his understanding of magic overnight, but a brand new way of thinking about magic would not be ignored by the other party.

The end of the magic net refers more to the spell level and the upper limit of the energy level, rather than the upper limit of the type and number of spells.

Even if it is to expand the types and quantities of spells, starting from the existing spell elements and conducting integrated research, there is an upper limit after all.

However, conventional exploratory research is more about luck. It is better to start with a certain thing or phenomenon in reality and dig deep into the principles behind it. In the end, you may not be able to obtain new spells, but you will definitely be able to gain insight into the nature of the world. cognition.

This is Xia Duo's concept. Magic is a very efficient tool, but only the method of understanding and transforming the world is what he and the future magic civilization really need.

There are indeed many Nether mages who study some special phenomena in reality and try to find the new spell they want.

But this kind of research driven by utilitarian purposes is always easy to hammer here and there, and pay more attention to spells than theory. In this case, it is even more difficult to form a relatively complete magic system.

Xia Duo once wrote a "Principle" book called "Principle", but it does not involve much content related to the principle, and more is just the introduction, sorting out, and a small amount of integration of the current Nether magic system.

Now he has reached the end of the magic net, which made him want to write a book of real principles, but such a grand topic is far from being completed by him alone, and it requires the joint efforts of countless people.

But some frameworks can also be built first.

"Perhaps this can also be a small gift for myself to appear in the Severton Council!"

……

After leaving from Iolum, Xia Duo did not return to the laboratory, but went to Azure Manor on the edge of the old city.

Yesterday, Aiwa sent a message to him, saying that several high-level mages who had clearly expressed their willingness to accept the recruitment of the Tower of Time had prepared and were waiting for his formal interview.

On the way to Azure Manor, Xia Duo was actually a little bit dissatisfied, not with Aiwa, but with the spellcasting environment in Netheril.

Before the Midsummer Festival, he let Aiwa spread the news. The interview conditions are not harsh, and it can even be said to be relatively loose. There are only two——

One is younger than 40 years old, and the other is to learn the 5-ring psychic spell involved in the Demon Slayer Talisman.

In fact, as long as the former looks not too old, Xia Duo is not prepared to be too serious; and the latter, Xia Duo also thoughtfully provided a study scroll to reduce their learning difficulty.

Half a month has passed, and only three interviewees have come.

Midsummer Festival is the biggest celebration in Netheril throughout the year. There must be quite a few people in Severton that day, but even so, there are only three of them.

This made Xiaduo very disappointed, and became increasingly dissatisfied with Netheril's current caster environment.

……

Arriving at Azure Manor, Xia Duo adjusted his mood and walked into the manor with a smile.

When he came, he had already contacted Aiwa, arranged the recruitment site in the reception room on the first floor of the villa, and notified the three high-ranking mages to apply for the job.

When he came to the reception room, he saw three middle-aged mages already waiting inside.

"Good afternoon, all three."

"Good afternoon, Lord Xiaduo!"*3
Xia Duo greeted casually, sat down in the main seat in the reception room, and then carefully looked at the three middle-aged mages.

The first one on his left, this person is well-dressed, and the magic robe on his body is radiant, obviously superior to the other two, and his demeanor seems to have the confidence to be superior to others.

The second one is a bit down and out, the robe is obviously just a piece of goods, and the sleeves are still stained with oil that has not been cleaned for many days. It is absolutely impossible for a high-level mage to be mixed up to this point.

The third one is also a bit downcast, but compared to the second one, the magic robe is a genuine magic item. Apart from the magic robe, Xia Duo didn't see any other magical auras on him.

There should also be a dimensional bag that hides the aura, but Xia Duo didn't delve into it, but just glanced at it superficially.

"Before the official interview, I need to confirm first, are you sure you understand the work of magic mechanics?"

"Understood, it's similar to a full-time alchemist, but it's easier than that, and there are many benefits. The Aivar envoy has already told us about it."

The other two also gave affirmative answers.

"Well, now, please let the three introduce themselves first. Have you ever joined the Mage Tower organization before, have you violated the sacred contract, what spells you are good at, etc."

Xia Duo briefly mentioned a few points, and then directly clicked on the first person on the left, "Let's start with you!"

That person was the first to point out, and he didn't panic at all. He even pretended to be reserved and straightened his robes before he began to answer:
"Lord Xiaduo, my name is Fisher, I'm from Nugent Territory. I haven't joined any mage tower organization before. I only studied in Lord Nugent's mage tower for a few years. I'm best at fireball and haven't violated the sacred contract."

"Ah."

Xia Duo nodded, motioning for the second person to introduce.

"My name is Anthony, I'm from Elvis, and I haven't joined any mage tower organization before. I learned magic from a wandering mage. I know relatively few spells. I'm best at flying, and I haven't violated the sacred contract. "

Then there is the third person——

"My name is Keke, and I'm from Contus. I haven't joined the Mage Tower organization before. Magic is a family tradition. My father was once an apprentice in the Moraine Tower. He is good at transformation spells and has never violated the sacred contract."

……

After the introduction of the three, Xia Duo continued to ask: "Before today, what was your source of income?"

Perhaps it was because they had never been asked this kind of question before, and the three of them were a little at a loss, wondering if this was the normal process of the Tower of Time's recruitment, or Lord Xiaduo's bad taste.

In the end, Anthony was the first to speak, "I have been an adventurer and a caravan guard before, and although my income is not much, it is enough for me.

"It's just that in the magic journey, it's still difficult for me to make progress on my own, so I want to find a mage tower organization.

"Although the Tower of Time was not well-known in its early years, Lord Xiaduo is a rare gifted arcanist in recent years. I think my choice is right."

Anthony was obviously taken aback after speaking, as if he was thinking about why he suddenly said so much, and at this moment, the other two also spoke one after another——
