Lord of Arcane

Chapter 586 The total number of new apprentices arriving
"Hey, can you gain holy power just by simply believing in a certain idea?"

In the quiet study room, Xia Duo simply put down his pen and thought about this question seriously, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was just fantasy and meaningless, and he had to conduct specific experiments to know.

Next, Xia Duo met some key figures in the territory one after another, such as Death Priest Mott, Simon and Meri of the Territory Guard, Jacco, the person in charge of the brick kiln, etc., and learned about the current situation of the territory through them.

After all, yesterday's inspection was a bit hasty, and today is the official report of the relevant personnel. Xia Duo listened carefully to their statements and summaries, and conducted targeted questions and answers on many issues, and finally gave instructions one by one.

After finishing all this work, it was already afternoon, and at this time, Xia Duo had a very detailed understanding of the current situation of the territory, as if he had been staying in the territory all the time.

However, he is also aware of a problem. As the territory gradually expands, the affairs of the territory will become more and more complicated. It is a bit inappropriate for the lord to hold all the affairs in his hands like the current one.

Therefore, Xia Duo felt that it was time to appoint an official territorial administrative officer!

……

With the administrative officer, or more precisely, the secretariat to assist him, Xia Duo can manage the territory more easily, focus on leading the overall situation, and spend the extra time on magic research or other personal issue.

"When the new batch of new citizens who are coming are settled properly, they will be appointed immediately!" Xia Duo made a silent decision.

The next batch will be the people sent by Belera's fleet. Her fleet has just left Severton not long ago. This trip has transported more than 700 people, and it will arrive in about a month. With Territorial administrative officer, you can calmly deal with it when the time comes.

And that's not all, Belleira also helped Xia Duo contact other fleets, but due to the schedule of other fleets and the time when the Severton Council summoned the new citizens, they have not been able to set off yet.

But their stamina is very strong.

At that time, there may be thousands of people in one batch, and it will be more frequent than now. In addition to other affairs of the territory, if no other political officials are appointed, Layton alone will not be able to keep busy.

Similarly, in order to cope with the large-scale production of communication instruments in the near future, the Tower of Time also needs to make corresponding adjustments in advance.

Thoughts were running in Xia Duo's mind, and he kept writing and drawing. After a while, a general appointment list for the territory and the Tower of Time appeared on the paper.

……

In the morning of the next day, five cargo ships full of new citizens docked at the wharf of Linshui Village. Due to the narrow river channel and the small size of the wharf, the five ships could only dock one by one.

Although this prolongs the time for accepting new citizens, it also makes the scene much more refreshing. In addition, when the new citizens are on board, they have already received some admonitions and lectures, so the reception is considered orderly.

On the bank of the river, Xia Duo watched calmly one by one the new citizens stepped off the cargo ship, took the steamed buns and clothes from the receivers, and then went to the clerk to register their identity information, and then went to the first place under the leadership of the receivers. In four residential areas, houses are allocated according to families.

"Leighton."

"grown ups?"

"In about a month and a half, there will be a group of new residents arriving. During this period, the leveling of the land can be temporarily slowed down, so that the wooden house manufacturing workshop can train a group of usable carpenters as soon as possible." Xia Duo urged.

Based on the territory's current stock of standard wooden house components, the housing of new residents should be able to be arranged in one and a half months, but it will not work after that, and preparations must be made in advance.

In the case of limited time, if you want to greatly increase production, for the time being, you can only increase the number of carpenters.

……

Soon, all the new citizens disembarked. Seeing this, Xia Duo said to Layton: "I want to go back to the Tower of Time, and I will leave it to you. If there is an emergency, please contact me. The communication scroll has been sent to you." There should be more over there, right?"

"some!"

"That's good."

Xia Duo patted Layton's arm as an encouragement, then called the tower spirit, guided the teleportation, and returned to the Tower of Time.

He made an appointment with Dean and the others to inspect Tilak's laboratory two days later. Naturally, Xia Duo would not break his promise. Aggressive adjustments.

……

The Tower of Time, Xia Duo's residence and private research room.

As soon as he came back, Xia Duo did not go to Tilak's research room immediately, but returned to his residence, "Taling, how many apprentices are there in the Tower of Time?"

"Executor Xia Duo, there are currently 392 apprentices in the Tower of Time."

Hearing this number, Xia Duo couldn't help sighing. There were so many apprentices, but in the past, the number of official mages who were promoted to the Tower of Time was only single digits. In the past two years, because of Xia Duo's existence, the number of new official mages increased slightly each year. But also no more than single digits.

Xia Duo continued to ask: "Taling, among the 392 apprentices, how many are formal apprentices? How many apprentices have the ability to cast spells?"

The so-called "official apprentice" is just the words of the Tower of Time family. It refers to the apprentice who has mastered the [restoration technique] and can provide maintenance services for the Tower of Time. Only at this stage can an apprentice be qualified to ask questions.

Those below formal apprenticeship are basically no different from handymen, and they are not even qualified to ask questions in class.

"Executor Xia Duo, there are currently 67 formal apprentices in the Tower of Time, and 152 apprentices with the ability to cast spells."

Xia Duo knew that this was the latest data of the Tower of Time. As long as any apprentice was active in the Tower of Time, he would inevitably be recorded by the Tower Spirit. This data Xia Duo recognized.

Of course, what he approves is the authenticity of the data, and whether he is satisfied with the data is another matter.

Of course, Xia Duo is not satisfied with this statistic. In his opinion, formal mages can be completed quickly. Even if they are trained according to the standard of arcanists, less than half of them have the ability to cast spells.

It can be seen that in the past, the Tower of Time was basically in a state of stocking up on the training of apprentices. Even though courses were arranged for apprentices, in Xia Duo's view, it was more like finding something for mages to do.

There is no systematic teaching plan, so that the number of people who become official mages is only in single digits every year.

But now, Xia Duo wants to change this situation, not just to increase the mage mechanics who make magic items, this is actually an idea he has always had.

Magic is conceptually the same as science, but the name is different, and they both refer to verifiable knowledge systems.

There is no doubt that the more mages there are, the faster the magical talents will develop.

Let the civilization as a whole climb, this is what Xia Duo is happy to see.

As for the problems that may be encountered in the development, Xia Duo does not shy away from talking about them, such as disputes and private fights caused by too many mages, malicious surroundings caused by too fast development, the possible impact of super magic on the living environment, and so on.

But you can't give up development just because there may be problems. Development problems can only be solved by development!
……

After that, Xia Duo inquired in detail about the promotion of apprentices and mages in the Tower of Time over the years, and he probably had a good idea, so he ordered the tower spirit:

"Notify all the official mages of the Tower of Time to hold a meeting in Conference Room 1 on the public floor the day after tomorrow morning!"

The reason why there will be a day off is mainly because some people may have already made arrangements for these days, so two days' notice in advance can also allow them to adjust their arrangements.

After receiving the reply from Taling, Xia Duo left for Tilak's research room on the same floor as his residence.
