Arcane Lord

Soon, Iolum gave his opinion—

"I think it is feasible. I will put it forward at the next Great Arcanist Joint Conference. I believe the Seven Towers will also agree. If you have any suggestions, you can put them forward together. If feasible, I will also support it. "

Xia Duo glanced at the pile of the Tower of Time Level 2 apprentice textbooks still on the tea table, and made no further suggestions.

If the next joint meeting of the Arcanists of the Austrian and French Federation is not unexpected, it will be the day when Congenio officially resigns. By then, Iolum will have his own "three fires", and Chateau does not want to Too overwhelming.

And he doesn't have too many suggestions to mention. For the time being, he doesn't want to interfere too much with things outside of his territory before he can truly participate and lead the change process.

No longer low-key, more just for the necessary display of the senior arcanist identity, so as not to make people misjudge. At other times, we still have to keep a low profile and deepen our strength.

…

Then, Chateau had an in-depth discussion with the two great arcanists on apprenticeship training. He could see that both Congenio and Iolum were very interested in the academic training of the Tower of Time. But limited by their respective identities, they can't actually operate.

Therefore, they were particularly concerned about what Chateau said.

"Lord Chateau, I probably understand what you said, but I have a question. After the three-year apprenticeship contract expires, if everything goes well, the Tower of Time will have hundreds of official mages. How do you arrange these people? ?"

The mage is not a rigid dead thing, but a living person. A living person must have various activities based on this profession, and all these activities are based on various mage tower infrastructures.

In other words, just maintaining the existence of these wizards will produce a lot of consumption, including the consumption of materials for daily practice, experimentation, and infrastructure maintenance costs.

Iolum himself does not have any research on the business field, so the more he looks forward to the college-style training scene, the more worried he is about the possible drawbacks in that situation.

Xia Duo mentioned that the Tower of Time can barely maintain the training costs of these apprentices. Even if they become official wizards, they can participate in production, but their consumption is absolutely greater than that of apprentices, and it is many times larger.

And can the extra products produced by the official mages of the Tower of Time really be sold?

If it can’t be sold, wouldn’t the tower be going bankrupt soon, and even if it’s sold, if the price is too low, it will still be unsustainable.

This kind of problem actually involves the core of Xia Duo's reform and governance in the southern border. To be honest, he himself has been worried about this problem. Although there are various plans, no one can absolutely pack the votes in the future.

At this moment, this question was mentioned by Iolum again, and Congenio also showed a curious and wanting gesture. Chateau thought about it, and said:

"Master, Your Excellency Iolum, regarding this question, I have two main plans-

"One is to create a new consumption mechanism, establish an internal economic cycle, and let those new mages work in the Tower of Time and consume in the Tower of Time. Of course, this internal cycle has a big loophole, and that is the Tower of Time itself. Resource constraints, if the Tower of Time does not have sufficient resources for recycling, it will be maintained, but at least it will be a relief.

"So, the second aspect is to dig deep into internal resources and introduce external resources. The undeveloped area of ​​the southern border is so large that you can always find some useful mineral veins, and then use magic to mine. The efficiency may be far more than ordinary humans or even dwarfs. Dwarves; and in terms of external resources, these large number of official mages are still needed. They will produce more low-cost goods and sell them to supplement the lack of internal circulation."

Speaking of this, Chateau revealed another piece of news that was not secret to both Iolum and Congenio:

"At present, the Tower of Time has reached an initial strategic cooperation intention with the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce. In the future, the Tower of Time will sell more magic items and introduce more raw materials through the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce."

As for the implementation of new coins in the southern border, Xia Duo didn't talk about it here.

After listening to Chateau’s explanation, Iolum and Congenio fell into contemplation again, and the study became extremely quiet again.

Only a small mithril pendulum-like ornament on the desk not far away made a "click" sound.

After a while, Iolum's eyes showed excitement and eagerness, but he seemed to have thought of something, and soon calmed down and looked at Congenio.

After the two sides confirmed certain information during the confrontation, Iolum spoke slowly and said to Chateau:

"Lord Chardonnay, the "academic training, internal and external double cycle" development model you proposed does have very attractive development prospects, and it is indeed very suitable for Netheril, but now I have to tell you a very realistic one. The problem, that is—

"At present, Netheril, even the Morion Tower series, which has the strongest academic atmosphere and the most open to knowledge, can hardly take the initiative to carry out such a change."

Xia Duo listened carefully, not letting go of a word, and even had to repeatedly consider what Iolum said should be regarded as a certain truth of Netheril.

As far as Morion Tower is concerned, it is difficult to implement academic training, let alone other places, but Iolum doesn't seem to stop there.

At this moment, Iolum asked suddenly: "Lord Chateau, are you willing to be my student?"

"what?"

Chateau was stunned.

This is not about discussing the future development model. Why did UU reading www.uukanshu.com suddenly turn to apprentices? This turning point was really big, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

Just as Chateau was trying to figure out what Iolum meant by saying this, Iolum had already started to explain it actively:

"Lord Chateau, I am very optimistic about you and the future development of the Southern Territory, but such development is destined not to proceed in peace. Before becoming a Great Arcanist, I can temporarily become your teacher and block some unnecessary for you. Malicious."

After hearing this, Xia Duo immediately understood Iolum's intentions.

The wheels of the times are rolling forward, but the people who lead the times may not be treated fairly in the present age, just like the "Qin" in his hometown.

Later generations used Qin Fa, but at the same time they discredited Qin Fa in every possible way.

In Netheril, the same is true. If the college-style training first appeared in the southern border, and thus broke the current balance, even if the college-style training could become the mainstream in the future, it will definitely encounter the backlash of the conservatives now.

This backlash is of course not necessarily a "real pk", but it is also not allowed.
