Chapter 699 Junior technicians recognize the situation
In the twinkling of an eye, two days passed quickly. During this period, the magic technicians who temporarily put their relationship under the name of the Tilak Research Office have already started the intense and busy pre-job training.

Based on the optimal configuration of "17 apprentices + 3 official mages" in one production line, only two production lines can be started for the production of new communication instruments.

And now they are facing a more serious problem than the shortage of apprentice-level mechanics, that is, there is also a shortage of formal mage-level magic mechanics.

The previous trial productions were all participated by members of Tilak's research lab, but we can't always let these mages with research potential go into production!

021 outside the workshop.

Xia Duola instructed earnestly in Tilak's language: "After passing the training, produce semi-finished products first. You must find a suitable junior magician as soon as possible. Do it voluntarily, and don't trick or force it."

The so-called [Junior Magic Mechanic] actually refers to the mechanics of low-level mages. Of course, there will be intermediate and high-level mechanics later on. As the name suggests, they are the mechanics of mid-level and high-level mages.

As for those mage apprentices, they will still be magic mechanic apprentices in the future.

Hearing Xia Duo's order, Tilak's heart was relieved immediately. He was worried that Xia Duo would let people from his research room add to the production line, but luckily he didn't, so he immediately agreed:
"I will, in fact, I already have a suitable candidate."

"Who is it? Are those people?" Xia Duo asked immediately.

"Yes, Master Jose came to me yesterday and said that several people were asking him about the situation of our laboratory. After I contacted them, I found that they were not interested in research, but simply envied the treatment of our laboratory, so I Just want to-"

Speaking of this, Tilak hesitated a little, "I just don't know if their mentor will let them go?"

"That's a problem."

Xia Duo did not give an answer immediately. According to the rules of the Tower of Time, there is no obvious personal attachment relationship between apprentices and mentors, but in actual practice, mentors can restrict apprentices almost everywhere.

It is almost impossible to change the mentor, and the tacit understanding of the unspoken rules between middle-level mages is far from being shaken by a low-level mage.

In the past, Xia Duo promoted the transformation of the Tower of Time, but did not touch the core interests of those middle-level mages, the authority of the Instant Tower, and apprentices.

The authority of the Tower of Time is a formal way for middle-level mages to obtain knowledge and resources from the Tower of Time, and it is implemented in the contract, while apprentices are a kind of hidden wealth.

Especially formal mage-level apprentices, mid-level mages often need to use them as "spell batteries" in order to be able to conduct more spell experiments and even process and manufacture them within their energy range.

Therefore, apprentices, especially skilled and formal mage-level apprentices, almost any middle-level mage will not let go easily.

If you want to get rid of your apprenticeship, you can only become a middle-level mage yourself, and then recruit apprentices yourself, and get back what was exploited in the past from your own apprentices.

It's just a vicious circle.

Xia Duo was quite dissatisfied with this, but there was nothing he could do about it. Almost all of Netheril did this, and all he could do was slowly figure it out.

After thinking about it, Xia Duo summoned Ta Ling and checked the list of members of the Academy, especially those level 3 apprentices, but some problems cannot be reflected by cold data.

However, Tilak had a lot of contact with those level 3 apprentices, so he should know, so Xia Duo asked again: "Do you know how many level 3 apprentices in the Jin Society can pass the [Ring Ascension Trial] in a short time?"

"Currently, there are 7 level 3 apprentices in the Advancement Academy, but only 3 or 4 of them are sure to pass the [Ascending Ring Trial] and become official mages in a short period of time."

Tilak immediately reported the data he knew, looking at Xia Duo, he seemed to think of something, "Xia Duo, you are going to—"

"No, no, these good seedlings should have more opportunities to choose, instead of being restricted to the production line."

How could Xia Duo fail to see what Tilak wanted to say, but as he said, these good seedlings should have more opportunities to choose, and it would be a waste to put them directly on the production line.

Furthermore, although the [Magic Network Background Communication] at the core of the new communication magic weapon has been simplified, it is still as high as the 2nd ring. It is not a new mage who can participate in the production. At least the casting level must be above level 3. .

Unless it's doing those apprentice jobs, but that's even more wasteful.

"I will open a special magic laboratory for them, let them try as much as they want, but one thing is to upgrade as soon as possible, and pay attention to safety."

"Shadow—"

"Don't worry, just show those diehards the speed of mage training under the new system. If you still insist on resisting the new system, you will only be swept away in the future."

In fact, Xia Duo is very unwilling to do this. He hopes that those people can take the initiative to recognize the situation and actively embrace the new system, instead of being pushed away by him.

But since even the duty service has been advanced, Xia Duo doesn't mind speeding up a little in other directions, after all, it's all "forced by the situation"!

Thinking about it this way, he is really a kind person!
……

After leaving the 021 workshop, Xia Duo was about to return to his residence to continue finishing his spell book. Niya suddenly sent a message, "Come here! Teleportation room! Great Master Greta is coming soon!"

It was only then that Xia Duo remembered that Niya said two days ago that Lord Rodney had invited Archmage Greta to be a witness. These two days were either busy inspecting the training situation of the production line of communication magic tools, or busy making spell books. Almost forgot about it.

This Niya is also true, she didn't inform him until the Great Master Greta was about to arrive, and complained a little in her heart, Xia Duo immediately summoned the tower spirit and teleported into the arena.

As soon as her vision returned to normal, she saw that Niya was already standing quietly beside the teleportation circle, her expression was not at all anxious as she was when she sent the message just now.

Xia Duo walked over, stood next to Niya, adjusted his clothes, and then stood still, but after waiting for a while, there was no response from the teleportation circle, so Xia Duo asked Niya:
"Didn't you say it's coming soon? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

At this moment, Niya finally couldn't help showing a look of anxiety on her face. If Master Greta didn't come, then something happened to Lord Rodney, which was not what she wanted.

"I've already sent the pass key, why can't you come over there? If you don't come again, the key will be invalid!"

Xia Duo could hear the nervousness in Niya's voice. He attached great importance to the deal with Lord Rodney, but he was indeed less urgent than Niya.

Seeing that Nya was already wringing her fingers nervously, Xia Duo felt that it was his question just now that made Nya's originally well-controlled emotions a little out of control.

So he stretched out his finger, let the arcane flow out from his finger, and then quickly transformed it into a blue rose, blooming and withering continuously.

This move immediately attracted Nya, not because of Ao Neng Rose itself, but because Xia Duo suddenly made such a move on this occasion, Niya felt a little confused.
