Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1569 Empathy

Dean's answer made Xia Duo realize that there are probably not a few people who support the establishment of the territorial branch within the Advancement Society, but most of them are not as radical as Gibson, but will consider the practical reasons more rationally. When you block territory, you will not express your opinion easily.

However, to a certain extent, this also highlights the current mainstream concept of lord authority in Netheril. Even in a sufficiently advanced group like the Advancement Society, it is still unavoidable to be influenced by old ideas.

And it's not just the concept of lord authority, I'm afraid there are countless old ideas that are always invading the members of the Advancement Society!
Fortunately, most of the members of the Advancement Society are absorbed from the Tower of Time apprentices. Except for a few old apprentices before, most of them are new apprentices under the new system after the transformation of the Tower of Time.

Moreover, these apprentices are not very old, they have just grown up (16 years old), and they are very malleable, which is why Xia Duo can guide them so easily.

If it is an adult outside, I am afraid it will not be so easy to change.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help sighing, as the saying goes, the hope is in the next generation, and it really is!
"Dean, what do you think about the moral education of apprentices?"

"Moral education class? Very good! The apprentices like it very much, and they are so happy that it is rare to relax!"

"I'm not asking what the apprentice thinks, I'm asking what you think!" Xia Duo emphasized on "you".

When Dean heard this, he was stunned for a few seconds. He knew that Xia Duo would not simply talk about this topic, but that his attitude towards adding moral education classes to the Tower of Time and entering the academy was actually different. He was not sure about Xia Duo. Which part do you want to hear.

After hesitating for a while, Dean finally decided to say something, "I also think moral education is very necessary, as in the past, the distance between spellcasters and ordinary people is too far, it's like two worlds.

"Even among relatives, I often hear that some people no longer go home after becoming a formal mage. Although I can't think of a specific explanation, I intuitively think that this phenomenon is wrong.

"How can there be any reason to accept the contribution of the family, but there is no reason to report it!
"The moral education class in the Tower of Time now allows apprentices to work with their families, so that they can experience the hardships of their families so that they will not abandon them."

"Then won't they hate ordinary people even more because they don't want to do manual labor?" Xia Duo asked.

"Of course not!"

Dean gave Xia Duo a weird look, "Don't you know, Xia Duo, how much academic pressure is on the apprentices of the Tower of Time now? One test every ten days, one test every month, each test has a ranking, almost everyone My nerves are tense, for fear of being overtaken by others."

cough--

Xia Duo originally hoped that Dean would talk about the guiding role of moral education teachers, but unexpectedly, Dean suddenly turned to the weekly and monthly apprenticeship exams.

In fact, for the apprentices of the Tower of Time on the main plane, the exam is not only a pressure, but also a constant source of motivation.

Check your recent learning status through the exam, which is a treatment that apprentices of mages have never had before.

Although Xia Duo has also heard a lot of complaints about the exam, the most he complains about is the pressure, or that a certain classmate is too irritable. He has never heard anyone who wants to give up the exam or study!
Almost everyone knows that they should hold on tightly to this opportunity that may disappear at some point and never reappear, and that can change the future destiny of themselves and even their families!

Compared to the current learning enthusiasm of the apprentices of the Tower of Time, Xia Duo dared to say that the students from any school in his hometown when he traveled could not compare.

Of course, with the continuous popularization of magic education, more and more people have the opportunity to receive education. Anyone may appear in the future. People who do not cherish learning opportunities like those on Earth will almost inevitably appear.

Even now, Xia Duo can't guarantee that these apprentices who seem to be very hard-working and hard-working will not have a trace of shrinking back in their hearts.

Once you confirm that you will never be able to catch up with others, it is almost an inevitable choice to perform poorly, or you can also say "ease your mind".

Thinking of this, Xia Duo reminded Dean: "Examinations are inevitable at this stage, and in the foreseeable future, it is impossible for exams to disappear completely.

"Be patient and pay more attention to the lower-ranked apprentices. Even if it is difficult for them to achieve any major achievements in the field of magic in the future, they can still become enlightenment teachers and cultivate a large number of talents for the new era.

"Pay close attention to the psychology of apprentices, and don't let them have the idea of ​​giving up on themselves, especially moral education teachers, they must pay special attention to guidance."

"I understand, I'll keep an eye on this one myself."

For Xia Duo's worries, Dean is actually very touched. If he hadn't met Xia Duo in the past, he might have given up on himself.

And now, although his development in the field of magic has gradually lagged behind most of his peers, and the gap will become wider and wider, he has found a new direction in life, and he does not feel that life is hopeless, but is full of hope .

For Dean, Xia Duo is still quite at ease. Although he may not be able to keep up with the ideological awareness of pursuing progress, there is one thing Xia Duo appreciates very much, that is, Dean's empathy for ordinary people, which is reflected in the entire advancement society. Might be all in front.

Compared with most apprentices from merchants, craftsmen, landlords, and rich peasant families, Dean, who was born in a poor family, has a deeper identification with ordinary people.

Of course, this is also thanks to Xia Duo, otherwise, maybe I agreed with it in the past, and now I want to cut it off from the past.

"By the way, let me explain to you again. In the name of the Great Xia Territory, I will send out an invitation to the members of the Advancement Society in the name of the Great Xia Territory to come to the Territory to serve as the Magic Affairs Officer."

"Magic affairs officer?"

Hearing this strange yet somewhat familiar name, Dean didn't realize it for a while, but when he did, he was surprised and said, "You still want to build a branch in the territory?"

"It's not a branch." Xia Duo shook his head, "Didn't the branch's proposal fail at the group meeting? I was initiated by the territory and has nothing to do with entering the society."

"This method is good. I think Gibson and the others will be overjoyed when they hear the news."

"Don't go through Gibson's application for the time being. I know that they have full enthusiasm for progress and are staunch supporters of our cause. However, enthusiasm is not enough for many things, and wisdom is also needed. Let's investigate them for a while! "

Dean heard that Xia Duo was not dissatisfied with Gibson, but had higher expectations for them, and a trace of inexplicable jealousy appeared in Dean's heart.

Of course, he will not specifically target Gibson and others because of this. The most taboo thing in the academy is to suppress each other, and unity is the main theme.

"I see."

Afterwards, Dean asked again: "What exactly does the Magic Affairs Officer do? What should be paid attention to when selecting candidates?"
