Arcane Lord

"I probably understand what you mean. You mean that we, who have reached the end of the magic net, should focus more on the reality of everything and continue to explore the nature of the world."

"Yes."

Xia Duo nodded helplessly. It would not be possible for Iolum to change his understanding of magic overnight, but a new way of studying magic would not be ignored by the other party.

The end of the magic net refers more to the spell level and upper limit of energy level, rather than the upper limit of the type and number of spells.

Even if it is to expand the types and quantity of spells, starting from the existing spell elements and conducting integrated research, there is an upper limit after all.

The conventional exploratory research is more of a chance. It is better to start from a certain reality or phenomenon and dig into the principles behind it. In the end, you may not be able to obtain new spells, but you will definitely be able to gain the essence of the world. Cognition.

This is Xia Duo's concept, magic is a very efficient tool, but only the way to understand the world and transform the world is him, and it is what the future magical civilization really needs.

Nowadays, Nishite Mage, there are indeed many people who will study some special phenomena in reality, and try to find the new spell they want from it.

However, this kind of research driven by utilitarian purpose is always easy to strike at the same time. Spells are valued more than theory. In this case, it is more difficult to form a relatively complete magic system.

Xia Duo once wrote a "Principle" book called Principles, but in fact it doesn't involve much content related to the principles. It is more just an introduction, sorting out, and a small amount of integration of the current color-resistant magic system.

Now he has reached the end of the magic net, which made him feel the idea of ​​writing a real principle book, but these grand subjects are far from being able to be completed by him alone, and it requires the joint efforts of countless people.

But some frameworks can also be built first.

"Perhaps this can also be a little gift for myself to appear in the Sevinton Parliament!"

…

After leaving Iolum, Chateau did not return to the laboratory, but went to the Azure Manor on the edge of the old city.

Yesterday, Aiva sent a message to him, saying that several high-level mages who had clearly expressed their willingness to accept the recruitment of the Tower of Time had prepared and waited for his formal interview.

On the way to the Azure Manor, Xia Duo was still a little dissatisfied, not with Aiva, but with the current Netheril's spellcasting environment.

Before the Midsummer Festival, he told Aiva to report that the interview conditions were not harsh, and it could even be said to be relatively loose. There were only two—

One is younger than forty years old, and the other is the 5-level spiritual spell involved in learning the amulet of slaughter.

In fact, as long as the former looks not too old, Xia Duo is not prepared to be too real; while in the latter, Xia Duo also intimately provides learning scrolls to reduce their learning difficulty.

After half a month passed, only three interviewees came.

The Midsummer Festival is considered the biggest celebration of Netheril in the whole year. There were definitely a lot of people in Sevinton on that day, but even so, there were only three.

This made Xia Duo very disappointed, and increasingly dissatisfied with Netheril's current caster environment.

…

When he arrived at Azure Manor, Xia Duo adjusted his mood and walked into the manor with a slight smile.

When he came, he had contacted Aiva, arranged the recruitment site in the reception room on the first floor of the villa, and notified the three high-level wizards to come and apply.

When he came to the reception room, he saw three middle-aged mages already waiting in it.

"Good afternoon, three."

"Good afternoon, Lord Chateau!"*3

Xia Duo greeted him at random, and sat down in the main seat of the reception room, and then carefully looked at the three middle-aged wizards.

He is the first one on his left. This person is well-dressed, and his robe is rippling with aura, which is obviously better than the other two, and his manner and posture seem to be superior.

The second one was a bit desolate. The robe was obviously just a look, and the sleeves were still stained with oil stains that had not been cleaned for many days. The high-level mages were so mixed up to this point, it was considered absolute.

The third one was also a little down, but compared to the second, the robe was a genuine magic item. Except for the robe, Xia Duo didn't see any other magical auras in him.

There should be another dimension bag that hides aura, but Xia Duo didn't delve into it, just glanced briefly.

"Before the formal interview, I need to confirm it first. Are you sure you know about the work of magic mechanics?"

"Understand, it's similar to a full-time alchemist, but it's easier than that, and there are a lot of benefits. The Aiva messenger has already told us."

The other two also gave an affirmative answer.

"Well, now, let the three of you introduce yourself first. Have you joined the wizard tower organization before, have you violated the sacred contract, what spells are you good at, etc."

Xia Duo briefly mentioned a few points, and then directly clicked on the first person on the left, "Let’s start with you!"

The person was the first to be spotted, and he didn't panic at all, even pretending to be reserved in the robes of geography, and then he began to answer:

"Lord Chateau, my name is Fisher, I am from Nugent, I have not joined any wizard tower organization before, and I have only studied in the wizard tower of Lord Nugent for a few years. I am best at fireball and have not violated the sacred. contract."

"Um."

Xia Duo nodded and signaled the introduction of the second person.

"My name is Anthony, I come from Elvis, and I have never joined any wizard tower organization before. I learned magic from a wandering wizard. I know fewer spells. I am best at flying and I have not violated the sacred contract. "

After that is the third person—

"My name is Cork, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is from Contus. I have not joined the Wizard Tower organization before. Magic is a family biography. My father used to be an apprentice of Morion Tower. He is good at changing spells. Violated the sacred contract."

…

After the three introduced, Xia Duo continued to ask: "Before today, what was your source of income?"

Perhaps this kind of question has never been asked before, and the three of them are a bit at a loss. They don't know if this is the normal process of recruiting for the Tower of Time or the evil taste of Lord Xia Duo.

In the end, Anthony was the first to speak, "I have been an adventurer before and a caravan escort. Although the income is not much, it is enough for me to use.

"On the way of magic, it is difficult for me to make progress on my own, so I wanted to find a mage tower organization.

"Although the Tower of Time was not well-known in the early years, Lord Xia Duo is a rare genius arcanist in these years. I think my choice is correct."

Anthony was obviously shocked after speaking, as if thinking about why he said so much suddenly, and at this moment, the other two also spoke up—
