Arcane Lord

After the promotion is completed, Donald will have the corresponding authority and treatment of an official mage in the Tower of Time. With his relationship with Chardonnay, he can set up his own private research room like Tillak, and receive strong support from the Tower of Time. .

However, it is clear that Donald prefers to stay in the Tillak research room, and later in the conversation with Chateau and De Parker he did not show any willingness to set up a private laboratory.

…

After Donald, there was an apprentice named "Marcy", and Chateau also had an impression of him. He was someone he had known during his apprenticeship, but the relationship was not as close as Dean, Sami, or even Donald.

Like Donald, this Marcy apprentice also chose to show his spellcasting level in the form of [Ascension Trial], and was successfully promoted.

After that, several people in a row were apprentices that Chardonnay had known. There was no need to guess. DeParker definitely chose the apprentices who were at the same time or similar to Chardeau.

Xia Duo didn't feel dissatisfied with this. In fact, he was also very much like to see how those familiar faces were developing now.

And what makes Xia Duo happy is that the concept of entering the academy has been accepted by most people. The apprentices who applied for promotion may have happened suddenly, but most of them chose to show themselves through the [Trial of Ascension]. The way to cast spells.

Only a very few people could not complete the [Ascension Trial], and only used a simple 1-level spell to deal with it.

Of course, since Xia Duo had greeted him in advance, De Parker completed the promotion process for those people based on the previous promotion criteria of the Tower of Time.

However, Xia Duo, who originally wanted to persuade him, didn't move. Before, he only thought that most of the people applying for promotion were promoted by surprise, so he had the heart to persuade.

It's like "the law does not blame the public." When everyone unanimously wants to take a shortcut, even Chateau has to make compromises.

But fortunately, the current situation is not what he expected. Only a few people have chosen to take shortcuts, so he doesn't need to persuade him. If some things are done, they have to bear the consequences.

Just like what he said to Master Jose, those who are promoted for promotion may still go back to complete the apprenticeship course after completing the promotion. The lack of foundation now will definitely take a lot of work to make up for in the future.

Since there are good models, there should naturally be bad models.

Xia Duo is looking forward to the performance of those people in the future. If you are really capable, let's use reality to slap her face!

…

A total of 46 people were promoted, Xia Duo watched with gusto, but Niya was a little impatient, but because Xia Duo was here, she didn't leave on the spot.

But after the two left the personnel department, she still couldn't help but complain, "What's so good about apprentice promotion? Isn't it that the number of people promoted at one time is higher? Didn't you predict it before?"

"Of course I have expected it, but this promotion is different from the past. I want to know whether the promotion assessment is accepted by most people and the development status of the past learning concept in apprentices. It seems that not everyone is willing to accept it now. A brand new promotion assessment, but at least most people agree with the concept of entering the society."

"Trial of Ascension? Is it really that important?" Niya asked suspiciously.

"Of course it's important, and it's not just a trial of promotion, but also a more relaxed, more open, and more tolerant academic atmosphere. This will give magic the soil to thrive. Although it is not obvious now, it will benefit from it in the future. Much."

After thinking about it, Xia Duo excluded some sensitive information and selectively introduced some information about the Arcane Empire on the projection plane to Niya.

Niya was shocked when she heard it, especially when she heard that the Arcane Empire might be another state of Netheril's development, she was almost shocked for ten seconds.

"You mean if we go to war with the elves, we might develop into that in the future?" Niya asked startledly.

After asking, he seemed to be immersed in the arcane empire scene described by Chateau, muttering to himself: "That would be too cruel."

"Not necessarily."

Xia Duo shook his head, "The main plane is under the influence of God. I can't predict what will happen, but what I can be sure of is—

"Although the development of the Arcane Empire is a bit deformed, in many aspects, it can already be used as the future development direction of magical civilization, or a template, which has very important reference value."

"Because of your hometown?" Niya's big bright eyes flashed suddenly, staring at Xia Duo.

Although she has heard descriptions of her hometown from Xia Duo many times, her knowledge of Xia Duoxiang is still very limited, and she only knows that it is a highly developed magical civilization.

This is also an important reason why she has always followed Xia Duo for many things.

"Can you tell me more about your hometown?"

"Of course."

In fact, Xia Duo doesn't care much about revealing more information about his hometown now. After all, many things he does are researched for no reason, at least in the eyes of the Nishite locals.

As long as it does not involve specific technical details and translates science into magic, there is no problem at all. Instead, it can increase its own mysterious attributes and gain invisible prestige.

This time, Chardonnay described all aspects of his hometown in more detail than usual, such as economy, culture, politics, and military. The most important thing is that he revealed a key piece of information that he did not provide in the past—

The population of my hometown is as high as 1.4 billion!

Upon hearing this number, Niya showed an expression of shock that was even more exaggerated than when Xia Duo introduced the Arcane Empire before, "1.4 billion?!"

How many people is that!

Calculating with the current population of about 50,000 Savills, it is almost 28,000 Savills; and considering the current population of nearly 4 million Netheril, it is almost equivalent to 350 Netheril.

Such a huge and necessarily very complicated society is far beyond Niya's imagination. She stared at Xia Duo in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.

After a long time, I suddenly said, "No wonder you are so obsessed with the population of your territory, there are so many people in your hometown!"

Then he asked: "Then how many great arcanists are there in your hometown?"

How should this answer?

Xia Duo scratched his head and said that it must be zero, but if it is a comparison, there will be more, "I am not very clear about the specific data, but at least it is counted in the tens of millions!"

"Ten million? Great Arcanist?"

Fortunately, there were already a foreshadowing of 1.4 billion people before, and Xia Duo had already heard about the magic education in her hometown. Now when she heard this data, Niya was a little surprisingly calm.

She didn't doubt that Xia Duo was deliberately exaggerating. After all, no matter how exaggerated, it would be difficult for ordinary people to describe the many details of a huge society with a population of 1.4 billion.

But it is still difficult for her to imagine what a prosperous world it is!
