Lord of Arcane

Chapter 600 685 Apprentices Midsummer Eve

The first stage of the Tower of Time's transformation is said to have only four small goals, but the things involved are not as simple as four. There are many aspects and intricate threads. Fortunately, Xia Duo has already been planning the transformation of the Tower of Time.

Now that it is done, it can be regarded as somewhat psychologically prepared. After leaving the town hall, Xia Duo immediately went to the four chambers of commerce including Liaton, Hans, Slavin, and Shining Gold.

The Arcanist came to the door in person and borrowed a few stewards who were good at making accounts and checking accounts. It was almost effortless. As soon as Xia Duo arrived, he just mentioned the request, and the arrangements were made.

Xia Duo hired two people from each chamber of commerce, a total of eight people, which can be regarded as the initial team of the Audit Office of the Tower of Time. As for why he didn't ask Derrick, the business director of Savile, it was naturally because of the Tower of Time. The middle-level mage has a close relationship with the territory chamber of commerce.

Using those people is equivalent to letting them check themselves!

It would be more reliable to find some irrelevant people, which is similar to a third-party agency.

……

In a short while, Xia Duo returned to the Tower of Time with the eight chamber of commerce managers. After notifying Cecily, he let these people settle in the supplies department. After handing over the relevant documents and files, the work officially started.

The first target Xia Duo chose for the Audit Office was the "Tilak Research Office". On the one hand, he first checked his direct descendants, at least there would be no objections, so that the Audit Office could quickly accumulate experience.

On the other hand, it is out of the consideration of the so-called "Public Health, Lian Shengwei".

Tilak and the others didn't have any objections to this. All of their labs were junior sorcerers. The establishment of the lab itself was pushed by Xia Duo, breaking the tradition that only mid-level sorcerers could set up private labs.

There are many eyes staring at them, and they dare not fill their pockets, which is why Xia Duo dared to choose them first.

……

In the next two days, Xia Duo did not return to the territory. Although a group of new citizens had just arrived in the territory and there were many things waiting for him to go back to deal with, he still patiently organized two exchange meetings.

One is for a junior mage, and the other is for an intermediate mage.

One of the four small goals of the transformation of the Tower of Time is to organize formal exchange meetings and form norms.

Of course, it was an exchange meeting, but it was actually more like Xia Duo was teaching those mages. The mages of the Tower of Time were very enthusiastic when they listened to the lectures, but when it was their turn to speak, their attitudes were a little cold.

Just two exchange meetings are not enough to change their ideas. Xia Duo plans to spare time every week to organize exchange meetings, and must raise the atmosphere of communication.

During the exchange meeting, the 300 new apprentices that Xia Duo asked the mayor of Thain to call have also been registered in the Tower of Time.

In order for these 300 people to enter the Tower of Time as soon as possible, the fixed portal connecting Savile Town was almost collapsed. Teleporting 300 people in succession is still a bit too heavy for a portal that was originally only used as a single passage.

The fixed magic circle in Savile Town almost needs to be rebuilt, and the cost can be described as expensive. From this, it can be seen that Xia Duo attaches great importance to the transformation of the Tower of Time.

Afterwards, when new apprentices were enrolled and assigned to classes, Xia Duo had to personally take care of almost everything. Except for the new apprentices, the original apprentices of the Tower of Time had to be re-assigned.

Excluding those apprentices who really want to give up the magic path, there are a total of 685 Tower of Time apprentices under the new system.

Among them, level 3 apprentices: 5 people (probationary members of the society, quasi-mages);
Level 2 apprentices: 140;
Level 1 apprentices: 540.

The number of apprentices has skyrocketed, the teaching plan has been adjusted repeatedly, and the time for Xia Duo to return to the territory has been postponed again and again. Until the apprentice management office is on the right track, the time has quietly come to the end of July.

Xia Duo is about to return to the territory, and he will not come to the Tower of Time in a short time. What will happen to the Tower of Time will be tested by time.

……

However, before Xia Duo returned to the territory, Niya returned from Severton to the Tower of Time.

Since the two communicate with each other through the tower spirit or the communication magic weapon every day, Niya knows the current situation of the Tower of Time very well, and Xia Duo is no stranger to Nya's daily life in Sevington.

After meeting, Xia Duo suddenly remembered the words Nya said before leaving last time, and couldn't help joking: "Niya, do you want a child?"

"..."

Niya gave Xia an extra look, and resolutely did not answer, but skillfully changed the subject, "Tomorrow is Midsummer's Day, won't you stay?"

"Stay? Stay and have children?"

"You—" Niya was annoyed, "You kindly asked me to spend the holiday with you, why do you keep talking about that!"

Well, Xia Duo knew the truth of going too far, so he put away his smile and said sternly: "Sorry, I won't talk about it next time. As for staying for the festival, let's forget it. There are a lot of things in the territory waiting for me to go back to deal with. If I don't If anything else, I'm leaving now."

Xia Duo's straightforward apology made Niya feel a little embarrassed, and her tone softened immediately, "It's not too late!"

"Uh——" Xia Duo didn't expect Niya to say that, but thinking about last year's Midsummer Festival, the curse of Lord Epps entered the stagnation period, which can be said to be equivalent to death, and Nya's mother, She died when she was born.

Now, she only has her own family member. Although it is more of a contract, it is also a family member. Maybe Niya feels lonely.

A powerful Arcanist would have such ordinary emotions. Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help looking at Niya with a little more pity. At the same time, he also thought of his relatives in his hometown in another world.

Thinking that in this world, the one who will accompany him on a long journey in the future might be the Niya in front of him, Xia Duo still made a decision, "I'll stay!"

Immediately afterwards, he clearly felt Nya's mood rising, but his business was not only to agree to stay for one more day, but also to inform the territory, so as not to think that there was an accident here.

In front of Niya, he sent the news of staying one more day back to the territory, and then the two came to Nya's private laboratory together.

Although Xia Duo promised to stay and pass, Midsummer's Day is tomorrow, and what should be done today is still to be done. Although the progress of deciphering Feld's spell book is not fast, it is still being carried out unswervingly.

After the last bridging experiment, Xia Duo contacted Niya every day to discuss the bridging plan. Regarding the abnormal vibration of the earth element in the group of mithril components that were bridged last time, they have also found the reason, and they will carry out further investigation on the subsequent bridging plan. fixed.

This time, the two are confident in bridging the three sets of mithril components. If all goes well, they will be able to find the "lock" of the spell book after another seven or eight bridging experiments.

Targeted measures can then be taken to speed up the cracking process.

Xia Duo was very curious about the contents of this spell book!
