Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1947 Criteria for Selecting the First Student

Next, Jay demonstrated other usage scenarios of the launcher to Xia Duo.

For example, it is installed above a box-shaped container, but this time it is not a rotating box, but a rotating starter, and its function is also to guide the fire element, thus forming a thing similar to an oven or a microwave oven.

Then there is a combination with a cylindrical bucket to form a refrigerator or ice-making container.

Limited to the level of knowledge, or the limited daily use scenarios that can be imagined, most of the civilian magic items made by Jay are related to cold and heat, but it can also be seen that it is ingenious.

Therefore, Xia Duo decided to give Jay another push to get Jay's research on the right track. He first clearly affirmed the other party's previous research, and then proposed:

"Would you like to be my student?"

This is not Xia Duo's sudden whim, but a long-awaited plan. In addition to entering the academy, he also plans to recruit some talented students. His goal is to align with the sages in his hometown.

Not to mention three thousand under the sect, at least there must be dozens of good seedlings.

Although the Tower of Time mages can be counted as his disciples, that's just an unspoken rule. In fact, the Tower of Time mages only have a contractual relationship with him, not even a direct relationship.

Accepting more seedlings with good potential can also allow him to better control his admission to the academy.

At this stage, the Jin Society is still completely under his control, but the biggest feature of an organization is that it has its own will, which is related to the founder's philosophy, but it will not always be maintained.

Even if the founder himself has different thoughts at different stages, what's more, for an organization composed of countless people without actual personal attachment in the future, the changes in his thoughts may far exceed Xia Duo's imagination. He will not be easily controlled by him.

However, in this regard, Xia Duo also has experience in his hometown. The so-called "never forget the original intention and keep the mission in mind" is probably the case. If you add some students in the organization who are naturally close to you, you should be able to ensure that the organization's thinking does not go astray. .

The so-called "those who do not plan for eternity are not enough for one moment", Xia Duo, as a quasi-eternal person, should have a farsighted vision beyond the current era.

Of course, the time he originally planned to accept students should be when he brought the floating city to the main plane. The reason why it is earlier now is that he doesn't want to see Jay doing useless work again.

The launcher that Jay has researched now cannot be said to be useless, but it does not match the Floating Void City.

He only thought that Jay had found some tricky way for ordinary people to cast spells, but he didn't expect that the other party would come up with something similar to temporary magic items activated by arcane fields.

But the biggest impact of this thing on the future is not the level of technology, but the choice of standards, or the choice of technology platforms.

Xia Duo will undoubtedly not give up the arcane energy field, which currently looks more promising, because of Jay.

Even if a new and more advanced technology for civilian use of magic is discovered in the future, the arcane field may still be his first choice.

Not for anything else, just because the arcane energy field is directly linked to [Mythra], which has a higher degree of adaptation and does not require more complicated transformations.

As for energy facilities that are more advanced than [Mythra], if there is a technological iteration, Xia Duo will not resist. He is very clear that resistance to progress is tantamount to slow death.

By accepting Jay as a student, you can give Jay the technical standards related to the arcane field in advance. Although the other party may not be able to understand it now, it is still no problem to do some application development on the basis of the arcane field. !

To Xia Duo, this was just a trivial matter, but to Jay, it was a surprise that fell from the sky. He was stunned for four or five seconds, and then asked in disbelief:

"President, you just said that you are willing to accept me as a student?"

"Yes."

Xia Duo once also thought about not accepting non-arcanists, but now since the education reform of the Tower of Time, there have been batches of potential students, most of whom are entering the academy.

Although there is still some distance from the Arcanist, as long as there are no accidents, there will be a chance to grow. Now it is time to cultivate the relationship between teachers and students in advance.

"Then what are your thoughts?"

"I do, I do!"

Jay said incoherently that although he had fantasized about such a day, when this day came, he still felt a little dreamy. He was the only one who succeeded with so many people in the academy. It was really like a dream.

"President, no, teacher, why did you think of accepting me as a student? There are so many people smarter than me in the academy, why did you choose me?"

Although a little unconfident, Jay is still very good at seizing opportunities, and immediately changed his name to teacher, which surprised Xia Duo, so he said:
"It's simple, because you have the potential!"

Of course, Xia Duo would not say that he wants to admit many students, but you are just the one I accepted in advance. In this case, making the students happy will also help to quickly warm up the friendship between teachers and students.

Sure enough, after hearing Xia Duo describe himself in this way, Jay's face flushed immediately. He was so happy to be appreciated by the people he admired that he almost missed Xia Duo's next words .

"For some reason, some of the rituals that were originally supposed to be waived for the time being, and I will make up for you in the future if there is a chance. Now let's talk about another thing——"

"Teacher, what's the matter?" Jay asked quickly.

In fact, he doesn't really care about ceremonies and celebrations. As a member of the Academy, he has long learned the principle of being pragmatic and avoiding emptiness. Thinking that the president suddenly accepted him as a student, it may have something to do with the next thing to say .

"The starter you invented has broad application prospects, but what I need to tell you is that the future is not its future, you need to change the track and start again!"

"what?!"

Jay suddenly turned pale with fright, and quickly asked, "Teacher, what's going on?"

"I'll take you to a place first, and then you'll know."

"Hmm." Jay replied a little distractedly.

Xia Duo didn't think too much, and took Jay back to the Tower of Time, and then went to the plane exploration layer, entering the blue crystal plane from the teleportation hall on the left.

Before going to the nameless waters where the floating city is located, Xia Duo handed Jay a spare arcane crystal extractor, "Take this, you will know why I just said that later."

Jay was amazed at the strange and exotic scenery of the blue crystal plane at the moment, subconsciously took what Xia Duo handed over, and looked down, it was an open iron box that taught the rules.

After careful observation, Jay found that the inside and outside of the box were completely integrated, and it seemed to be made of pure iron, but according to the teacher, it seemed that this was not just an iron box.

There are other unknown uses.
