Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2242 Journey to Imasca 2
The delivery date provided by Vader was on the day of the auction, which again exceeded Xia Duo's expectations. One hundred thousand pounds of mithril is not a small amount, and being able to take out one hundred thousand pounds on the spot shows that there is a high probability that there will be more.

However, considering that Vader once ran the Arcane Empire on the projection plane, it is not unimaginable to write down the location of a Mithril bonanza or two.

"In that case, isn't Vader the richest person in Netheril?"

Thinking of this, Xia Duo was startled, but then he denied his guess. It wasn’t long before the Mithril Agreement of the Three Kingdoms was updated. It is difficult to accumulate wealth exceeding seven towers.

Of course, it's hard to tell after a long time.

However, this also reminded Xia Duo that although there is a time acceleration area that can replace the acceleration effect of the projection plane to a certain extent, the time acceleration area cannot be transformed out of thin air for all kinds of wealth contained in the projection plane.

……

There were no accidents during the handover process. When Xia Duo returned to the Tower of Time with a hundred thousand pounds of standard mithril, he was still in a daze.

In the warehouse of the Tower of Wisdom just now, he saw at least twice as much mithril as he had put away. This was the first time he had seen such a rich warehouse since he traveled.

At the same time, this is also the time he has gained the most since he traveled.

With the [-] pounds of mithril, Xia Duo is no longer planning to sell the finished Mythra device. He estimates that there will be a second Mythra device on the side of the Seventh Tower, and he does not want to fight a price war with the Seventh Tower.

After all, it takes too much energy to make Mythra, and there are examples of [-] pounds of mithril. No matter how cheap he sells it, he feels that he will lose money, so he simply doesn't sell it. Anyway, he has earned enough, and it happens to be the one that can be photographed for Vader. Seat Mythra preserves value.

He sold this one for the price of three, and he didn't need to pay for the other two. Thinking about it, such a good thing is unlikely to happen often.

However, Xia Duo did not forget that Hawke was also determined to pay a big price, so after returning from the Tower of Wisdom, he contacted Iolum without much delay and reminded him not to take Miser La revealed to Hawke.

Of course, this is not just to remind Iolum, but also to ask the other party to remind and even warn the Seven Towers to be cautious about selling Mythra to people who are not on the human side.

Compared with Hawke, Xia Duo is actually more worried about the power of elves inside the Seven Towers. He has also understood who has what kind of tendencies over the years.

This is largely an unsolvable problem. Some people do not think that human beings can stand with elves on an equal footing. They think that human beings are inherently shorter than elves.

It can be said that the spirit has penetrated into the brain, the disease is terminally ill, and there is no cure!
The only consolation is that the Seven Towers, as a ruling group, are naturally sensitive to factors that are not conducive to their ruling and low status. Jingjing may be inclined, but it is still difficult to do something practical.

"The light of humanity is still in the southern border!"

……

the next day.

The Tower of Time, Public Floor, Room 044, the job-rank assessment site.

Xia Duo walked behind each candidate, scanning their test papers one by one with his eyes showing satisfaction from time to time.

There are a total of 25 people who applied to participate in the rank assessment in this round. Xia Duo took a rough look and found that the pass rate can reach at least [-]%. It seems that it is not perfect, but in fact only a few people failed.

If there are 20 people in a month, there will be more than 400 people in a year. Although the actual number of new mages cannot be calculated simply and roughly, the three-year period has passed more than half, and the number of new mages will only increase in the future, not less .

Looking at these new mages who are constantly growing up, Xia Duo feels both relief and pressure. Since he has brought them on this path of civilization towards a new era, he can no longer fall into the rut of the old era.

"Jingle Bell--"

Just as Xia Duo was thinking, the bell rang for the end of the examination. De Parker personally collected the test papers from the examinees one by one, while Xia Duo reviewed them on the spot in the examination room.

The result was similar to what he had predicted during his inspection just now. Only three people failed to answer all the questions correctly. It was a pity that they lost, and all the others advanced smoothly!
Of course, this doesn't mean that these 22 people are definitely better than those three people. It should be said that most of the people who applied for the rank assessment are capable of passing.

The job-level assessment is more focused on application, and it is necessary to solve some problems raised in the test paper within the specified time. The reason for the large difference in the results is only the difference in performance on the spot, not the difference in actual level.

"I will announce the list of those who have passed this direct assessment: Rich, Dove, Seth, Jovov,..., Luda, Bicester."

For the three who failed to pass, Xia Duo helped them analyze the misunderstandings in the process of solving the questions, and encouraged them to participate in the next class assessment.

At present, there is not a high threshold for passing the assessment of the rank of the Tower of Time. If you fail the examination once, you can continue to take the examination. There is no cool-down period, and you can pass the examination until you pass it.

The reason for this arrangement is mainly to make the rank assessment system popular among the people. Of course, the new mages of this era did not disappoint Xia Duo.

……

After leaving the public floor, Xia Duo's next stop was the study on the top floor of the Tower of Time, where Niya had been waiting for him for a long time.

"How many passed this time?"

"20, and there will be more next month. The responsibility on us is getting heavier and heavier." Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh.

"Then you still want to continue traveling?" Niya retorted immediately.

"These are two different things, and they don't interfere with each other."

While talking, Xia Duo took advantage of the situation and sat next to Niya. The two leaned side by side, facing the projection window in front.

Don't look at Nya's complaints about continuing to travel, but at the moment, on the tea table in front of the projection window is the Imasca information that Iolum asked Hatchenis to send over!
Xia Duo roughly flipped through this information yesterday, and it is not difficult for him to recall all the details with his ability, but he still took it from the tea table, flipped through it casually, and then asked Niya:

"After reading these materials, what kind of country do you think Imaska ​​is?"

Niya thought for a moment and gave her own answer: "I think it is a very contradictory country."

"Why do you say that?"

"Look! Didn't the information say that they have all kinds of magical creations, which can solve all the problems that outsiders can think of? But why do they have to hire a large number of slaves? Aren't slaves more efficient?"

Having already started, Niya said all her thoughts in one breath, "It is also mentioned in the information that the leader of Imasca calls himself [the Lord of Craftsman], but in fact only magic craftsmen are eligible to have the right to respond. status.

"The other is the contradiction between the prosperity of the legend and the obscurity of reality."
