Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1562 Adjustment of the Wise Design Outline
Although Xia Duo said that he understood, he was actually very puzzled in his heart. Organizations like the Arcane Federation are naturally expansive. He didn't believe that Iolum hadn't tried to replace the Severton Council with the Arcane Federation. idea.

Moreover, the expansion of the power of the Arcane Federation is also good for Xia Duo. People like Xia Duo who are both great arcanists and lords are simply eating at both ends and gaining weight at both ends.

But in that case, it would be very unfriendly to lords who are not great arcanists, or lords who are just ordinary people inheriting from their ancestors.

"It's my fault!"

Xia Duo slapped his head violently. After traveling for so long, he was still inevitably influenced by the idea of ​​"strength is king".

If everything is decided by the fist, it is a nightmare. Even the strongest at the top of the pyramid must always be on guard against being replaced by the next strongest.

If you think about the law of the jungle and intrigues all day long, how can you have time to develop civilization?
And if civilization is not developed, technology will inevitably decline. The so-called "war promotes technology" is only because the two sides of the war are civilizations, not individuals.

Civilization has the potential for development, and individual wisdom is the priority. They only think about killing and being killed, replacing and being replaced, and they don't have any thoughts on planning for the future and long-term development.

Basically, after several generations are replaced, the technology of the entire civilization will inevitably decline.

From this, Xia Duo thought of the crown war of the elves. The more ancient times, the larger the scale of the war and the more cruel the methods of war.

Wars that have lasted for tens of thousands of years, even if wars can promote technological development to a certain extent, how can they develop if the country is destroyed at every turn and the era is interrupted?
The current system of Netheril may have been deliberately designed by wise men!
On the premise of maintaining a certain order, it fully demonstrates the authority of power, but compared to Xia Duo's idea of ​​directly smoothing out (ignoring) the differences in individual strength, it is still a little less interesting.

Within civilization, the status value should not be simply and crudely determined by the level of strength, except for some specific fields, such as sports.

More should be determined by the individual's responsibility and dedication to civilization. Of course, correspondingly, civilization should also reward the individual with respect and satisfaction.

As for identity, individuals within civilization should be fully equal, only the social division of labor is different, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior types of work.

Xia Duo has his own views on civilization. He will criticize and absorb the advanced aspects of Netheril's civilization system design, and he will discard the backward aspects as much as possible.

Of course, he also knows the weight of the wheel of history. He will not forcibly go against the trend, but will move the direction of the wheel little by little, and finally drive it into the lane he designed.

Longevity, there is plenty of time to complete all this.

……

After finishing the conversation with Iolum, Shaduo released the latest syllabus to the Academic Affairs Office of the Tower of Time through Tarling, which focused on increasing the spell practice time of apprentices and all members.

They didn't do this in the past. On the one hand, Xia Duo had low requirements in the past, and on the other hand, it was due to the restrictions of the Tower of Time.

Since it is practice, it needs to use the spell practice room, but the energy system of the Tower of Time is really not enough to support the high-frequency practice of so many mages.

In addition, there is also the maintenance problem of the Tower of Time. After all, the Tower of Time was not originally designed to be a magic academy. With so many people using it, maintenance costs and personnel are problems.

But now, Xia Duo has higher requirements for the mages of the Tower of Time, and now that the [Mythra] device has been put into use, energy is no longer a problem at all.

As for maintenance costs, the various mass-produced magic items of the Tower of Time are relatively popular, and there is still no shortage of money for maintaining the Tower of Time.

The only tricky thing is the personnel aspect.

But this problem, with the continuous growth of apprentices under the new system of the Tower of Time, will soon be alleviated, especially when Xia Duo specially introduced three full-time senior magic technicians from Severton.

Xia Duo made a simple estimate, and he could barely sustain it.There is a saying that is good, but any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. Now he has quite the confidence to say this sentence.

……

After completing the adjustment of the Tower of Time Apprentice syllabus, Xia Duo continued to check the teaching log backed up by the Academic Affairs Office, and unexpectedly found several familiar names.

Until Nya informed him that dinner was ready, Xia Duo temporarily put down his work and teleported to the lord's villa in Linshui Village to have dinner with Nya.

……

Early the next morning.

After Xia Duo finished the daily meditation training, he felt Niya still wrapping his arms around him, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart. He didn't know if it was because of the curse of the time traveler, or for some other reason.

He tried various methods, spells, potions, and even the earthen prescriptions he heard occasionally before crossing, but there was still no movement in Corniya's stomach.

Xia Duo himself was not in a hurry, but Nya's disappointed look every time she stroked her belly still made him very distressed.

"Ugh--"

"Are you awake?" Niya tenderly opened her eyes and hugged Xia Duo.

"Just woke up."

Xia Duo knew that Niya was awakened by his getting up, so he couldn't help but leaned over and kissed her, and said softly, "Go to sleep a little longer, and I'll prepare breakfast for you."

"Ah."

……

After breakfast, Niya went back to the study on the top floor, while Xia Duo came to the Academic Affairs Office on the public floor.

He had been busy some time ago, and he hadn't been here for a long time, and there was no one in the office of the Academic Affairs Office when he came. It seemed that Xia Duo came early by himself, but in fact he came late.

The vast majority of members of the Academic Affairs Office have teaching tasks, but this does not meet the normal needs of more than 1000 apprentices, and personnel must be seconded from various laboratories.

Fortunately, quite a few of the new apprentices have already completed their studies ahead of schedule, and this part of the official mages mainly flowed into the magic technician department, laboratory, and academic affairs office.

However, Xia Duo had already read the class schedule yesterday, so naturally he would not make an empty trip.

Not long after sitting down, a young mage holding a pile of test papers appeared at the door. After seeing Xia Duo, he was both surprised and happy, and almost dropped the test papers in his arms.

"President, why are you here?"

"I came here specifically to find you."

"Find me?"

Gibson was immediately overjoyed, and hurried back to his desk to put down the test paper, then came to Xia Duo, and asked excitedly, "President, what can you tell me?"

"Didn't you compile the enlightenment book with Atwood and Edrich before? Why did you suddenly come to be a teacher?" Xia Duo asked.

"The "Book of Enlightenment" is almost completed. I am now a special consultant sent by the Enlightenment Society to the Academic Affairs Office, responsible for passing on the philosophy of the Enlightenment Society among the apprentices. Of course, this is the task of the Enlightenment Society. The moral education part of the book."
