Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2236 Revisiting the trip to the East
Let’s talk about Xia Duo himself. He never thought of comparing strength with excavators, speed with cars, and calculation power with computers. Even though he has awakened his blood many times now, his strength, speed and even thinking are qualitatively better than before. Ascension, he never thought of taking care of everything with his physical body alone.

The sages in my hometown said a long time ago, "A gentleman's nature is not different, and goodness is better than things." The reason why people are human is largely because they can use tools.

Of course, psionic mages also have the means to use external objects to increase their own power, but the source of power is still themselves. In Xia Duo's view, this is undoubtedly their biggest flaw.

The power of an individual is limited. If one cannot use external objects to obtain a new source of power, no matter how much one's own power is exhausted, one will be slaughtered by others.

In general, Xia Duo is very satisfied with his achievements in the time acceleration area in the past two years. Although he can't directly counteract the mental image world, he can at least nullify the opponent.

The only thing he is dissatisfied with now is that he still lacks a psionic master to cooperate with him in the actual combat test. Of course, even if there is no one, it will not affect the practical use of [World Editor] spells.

Verification is just the final confirmation link, and Xia Duo believes that he has full trust in his research results.

……

The Tower of Time, the study on the top floor.

Xia Duo and Niya were sitting next to each other in front of the projection window. Now the Tower of Time has been moved to the public area of ​​the Floating Void City. Now the projection they are facing is the real-time scene outside the Tower of Time.

On Hengchun Square not far away, a group of children were visiting around under the leadership of a young man, and occasionally stopped to explain. Seeing this scene, Xia Duo couldn't help but smile knowingly.

If he guessed correctly, it should be the teachers and students of the Territorial Enlightenment Class. He seems to have some impressions of the leading young man, and he should have seen him during the last class assessment he presided over before entering the Time Acceleration Zone.

According to the regulations of the Tower of Time, only those who have obtained the first-level mage rank will be assigned various tasks. Before obtaining the first-level mage rank, everyone is an apprentice.

It is conceivable that the young man in Hengchun Square outside looks very young, as if he is already an official mage when he is underage, which is completely unimaginable in the past.

This is the magic of modern education!

"That little guy should be the youngest official mage since the Tower of Time was built?" Xia Duo said casually.

When Niya heard this, she couldn't help snorting, "Why didn't you mention me, I'm the youngest official mage, okay?"

"How does Easterdod compare to you? You should have been exposed to magic before the age of 16, right? But what about him? He might still be helping the house before the age of 16! If I remember correctly, he He should be 17 years old this year!"

In other words, it took only one year for Easteddod to become a full-fledged mage, and this speed of progress would be appalling in the past.

When Xia Duo said this, Niya immediately fell silent, but what Xia Duo didn't say was that even though Isteddow's speed of progress is rare now, it wouldn't be so rare.

From the current point of view, the little guy is indeed the youngest among the official mages of the Tower of Time, but he may not be the fastest to become an official mage. Some people "enrolled" older than him, but they improved faster than him.

Moreover, Xia Duo also discovered a trend, that is, with the increasing improvement of the teaching system of the Tower of Time's Academic Affairs Office, the original three-year training plan has become increasingly outdated.

More and more apprentices have been able to complete all the scheduled studies within two years, and those who cannot complete within two years may not be able to complete them even if they are given one more year.

So Xia Duo is now considering whether to shorten the apprenticeship period for future enrollment from the previous three years to two years.

Speaking of which, in Xia Duo's plan, the apprenticeship stage before being a formal mage originally existed as an enlightenment stage. Compared with the school system in his hometown, it should be regarded as the kindergarten and elementary school stage.

Formal mages—more precisely, from level 1 to level 10 mages are classified as middle school, advanced arcanists are the college entrance examination, and after passing it, they go to university, and great arcanists are postgraduates.

If you fail to advance, you can choose to repeat the grade and continue the exam, or you can choose to transfer to the vocational education stage, that is, continue to rise from the 10th-level mage, and follow the route of the legendary mage to the grand arcanist.

Different from the arcanist's academy route, the legendary mage's route is basically employment-oriented, engaging in occupations related to magic applications, such as magic mechanics, magic farmers (druids), professional fighters, and so on.

These occupations basically no longer engage in specialized basic research work, but will develop in-depth in their professional fields under the guidance of relevant researchers. As long as they delve deeply into their own professional fields, it is not empty to become a legend.

In Xia Duo's plan, it can be said that there will be no occupations that have nothing to do with magic in the future. Even if he cannot cast spells and lives in a society full of magical creations, it is impossible to break away from magic.

The so-called "civilization of magic" is essentially prepared for those who cannot cast spells. In the foreseeable future, magic civilization will be in a state of coexistence of spellcasters and non-casters for a long time.

If you don't think about it and prepare in advance, the more developed the magic, the more it will separate these two groups that actually belong together in essence.

"By the way, during my absence, is there any news from Jay?" Xia Duo touched Niya with his shoulder and asked softly.

"Yes, he came to look for you a few times a while ago, and let me know if he didn't find it."

Xia Duo couldn't help but be satisfied with Niya's expression of asking me if you want to know, and quickly asked, "What is he looking for me for? Is there any new progress in the research of the actuator?"

"how do you know?"

"Can I not know the task I assigned him! Tell me, what is the new development?"

"Well, Jay actually came to you to tell you that he has developed a universal starter that can take into account the usage scenarios that are not in the arcane energy field at the same time."

In fact, Niya doesn't care about the starter at all, she cares more about Xia Duo's attitude, "By the way, Jay also sent a sample, which is a magic lamp. He said that you will like it very much after seeing it. of."

"Magic lamp?"

"That's what he said, and I put it away without looking carefully."

As she said that, Niya asked Taling to send a fairly delicate box, and Xia Duo opened the box. Inside the box lay a gadget similar to a desk lamp from her hometown on the flannelette.

The bottom is the base, the middle is a thin rod, and the top is a thin claw structure similar to a ring inlaid with gems, but inside is not a gem, but a colorless and transparent crystal.

The whole lamp has no magical aura, and the production method is relatively thick. At first glance, it looks like a thing made by a crappy craftsman.

But next to the lamp, there is a small square that integrates all the magical aura in the box. It is this small square that makes Xia Duo almost unable to move his eyes.

In this regard, he did not hesitate to give his own words of praise——

"What a genius idea! It's just too ingenious!"
