Lord of Arcane

Tower of Time, public floor conference room.

The mages who received the notice showed excitement in their eyes, and they came to the meeting room 044 where the notice was conveyed, and Xia Duo had already waited for it in advance.

"First of all, congratulations. You have been successfully selected into the Tower of Time Oriented Training Program. You must have already understood the content of the program. Now it's time for you to choose your direction."

Xia Duo looked at the crowd and said his own arrangement, "The general direction is the plane domain, but there are big differences in subdivided domains, you can only choose one for the time being——

"The first one is the half-plane creation modulation. The main work in the future is to assist me in a series of half-plane creation experiments and be responsible for the specific creation modulation.

"Second, the operation of the plane exploration array, the main work in the future is to join the plane exploration center and participate in the exploration of the etheric layer or the astral world.

"The third one is quite special. I won't tell you what I will do for the time being. What I can say is that I will select the best people who have passed the assessment in the first two directions to engage in research in the third direction.

"In addition, if you choose to engage in research in the third direction, you will need to stay in the Tower of Time or the Floating City for a long time in the future, but at the same time you can also choose to bring your family over."

The third direction is actually the lunar exploration project. It is very risky to engage in research in this area. For the time being, only the Tower of Time or the Floating City can barely support such research.

But in the later stage, you still have to be mentally prepared to face the true god. After all, no one knows whether the divine punishment will appear again when the exploration is in the actual stage.

"I'll give you 10 minutes now to make your choice."

After finishing speaking, Xia Duo walked out of the meeting room and closed the door behind him. Instead of peeking at the discussion inside, he leaned against the wall of the corridor outside the meeting room, silently sorting out the information about the new mage in the Tower of Time in his heart.

The 100 people in the conference room are the first batch of quasi-high-level mages trained by the Tower of Time, but they are by no means the last batch. Xia Duo plans to decide when to select the next batch based on the final assessment results of this group of people. How to pick and how much to pick.

However, he is still very optimistic about these young people in his heart. If there is no accident, there is a high probability that the first batch of 100 people will all pass.

The next batch is just as urgent as this time, and a notice should be given some time in advance, and new mages who are already working are allowed to sign up, so that the quality of the screening should be higher.

In addition, the regular training mechanism for new mages should also be improved.

Today's Tower of Time, a more complete teaching system is only the apprenticeship stage, becoming a formal mage, that is, directly working after passing the rank examination.

But as the number of new mages increased, there were not so many jobs for them for a while, and the recruitment of each independent research room was limited after all, and most of these were only first-level mages.

Although he has received a relatively complete basic magic education, it is difficult to participate in such a complicated research for a while. For example, Xia Duo needs an assistant now, so it is not a directional training plan.

He told Layton before that the territory supports the new mages to return to their hometown to start a business, and the purpose is to divert these new mages.

At present, the number of new mages registered in the Tower of Time and who have passed the first-level mage assessment has exceeded [-], and the number is still increasing by dozens every month.

This is actually quite normal. The Tower of Time's restructuring began three years ago, and several batches of new apprentices were recruited in those years, adding up to hundreds of people.

The plan formulated at that time was to train them to be formal mages within three years. Later, the Tower of Time textbooks were updated many times.

Now that the three-year period has passed, official mages will emerge one after another, and as long as the relevant policies of the Tower of Time remain unchanged, a group of people will graduate from the apprenticeship stage every year in the future.

As for whether they can pass the official mage rank assessment, that's up to each individual.

Not all of the earliest batch of apprentices three years ago passed the job-level assessment. Of course, those who failed would be counted as the training fee for the three-year apprenticeship stage, and they would honestly work for the Tower of Time and pay back the money.

However, the tuition fee at that time was set at [-] gold coins for three years. This price was relatively high at the time, but even for mages who were apprentices, it was not an astronomical figure that was completely out of reach.

But the price is somewhat low now.

The official citizens of Daxia collar can basically get more than [-] gold coins when they are granted land. If measured by the minimum wage, it is almost a little more than two years' wages.

In other words, if the apprentice fails to pass the class assessment after the three-year period, and stays in the Tower of Time as a magic mechanic, it will only take a little over two years to pay off the tuition at most.

Of course, Xia Duo didn't want to get stuck with tuition fees, but hoped to give the apprentices a sense of urgency in this way, so that he was in the Tower of Time.

If it is in other places, you may not be able to learn anything by spending thousands of gold coins.

In the long run, the tuition fee for the Tower of Time will still increase. If you don't want to pay this tuition fee, you should study hard and pass the job rank assessment.

In the future, the study of the new mage stage will also be in this mode. If you can keep upgrading, it will be free of charge. If you can't, then you will only be charged the tuition for that stage.

……

Xia Duo thought about it, and soon 10 minutes passed, and he returned to the conference room. At this time, the original 100 people in the conference room were divided into two blocks.

One of them has more people, about seventy or eighty people, while the other one has fewer people, it seems that there are only ten or twenty people.

"Have you chosen? Tell me your choice!" Xia Duo first looked at the pile with fewer people and asked.

"We chose the second direction, plane exploration array operation."

The more than 20 people answered in unison, then the rest is to choose the first direction, which is the creation modulation of the half-plane.

Xia Duo was not surprised by everyone's choice. He had already stated just now that those who choose the half-plane direction will become his assistants in the future, and those who choose the plane exploration direction will enter the plane exploration center in the future.

The Plane Exploration Center is a newly established organization directly under the Tower of Time, but how can working in this organization be compared to being his assistant?Although Xia Duo didn't think so, many people thought so.

However, Xia Duo respects the choices of these people, and will not underestimate or value them because of this. The choice is made by themselves, so all future results will need to be borne by them.

Xia Duo sincerely hopes that these people have chosen the field they like, so that even if it is difficult to make progress in this field in the future, they will still enjoy themselves. (end of this chapter)
