Arcane Lord

In the past six months, I have accumulated a stack of parchment documents that is almost half a person's height. Although the amount seems to be a lot, Xia Duo is not impatient at all.

Because the material subsidy applications submitted by these private research laboratories include the experimental process, number of times, and material consumption on a specific topic.

Looking at these documents, Xia Duo seemed to see the exploration process of each researcher on these topics. There were many highlights among them, which made him, a senior arcanist, quite fruitful.

But some of them were obviously perfunctory, games, and deceitful. Xia Duo shook his head repeatedly when he saw them.

…

More than half an hour later, Xia Duo finally read all the subsidy application documents for the past six months. He did not pay attention to the numbers in detail. There may be more applications and concealed consumption, but it is understandable.

After all, in a place with strict auditing like the Earth, there are also situations where money is used unexpectedly, and it is not uncommon.

There are currently no real mages working in the Audit Office of the Tower of Time, and Xia Duo is not prepared to pursue too many investigations, but those with obvious problems in research topics, research progress, and experimental processes must be dealt with.

He handed over nearly twenty problematic application documents that he deliberately selected to Director Wendell of the Audit Office, and then instructed:

"These three people, Master Sandur's 'Design of three-ring-like spells at the 1st level' project, has obvious loopholes in the experimental design principle. In view of their relatively complete experimental records, only their subsequent subsidies for this topic will be cancelled." , no other penalties will be imposed;

"Master Sande's 'Practical Exploration of Magic in Cooking' project has obviously been concluded. However, from November last year to now, he has been applying for material subsidies and forwarding my opinions to the Personnel Department and Materials Department to investigate the matter. The whole story, and recovering three months of subsidized materials;

"Finally, there is a long-term serious discrepancy between Master David's 'Magic Network String Realization Research' and the experimental consumption and the experimental process submitted in the project application report. It was also transferred to the Personnel Department and Materials Department for investigation, and all subsidized materials were questioned. "

"Yes!" Wendell replied respectfully.

When Xia Duo saw this, he was about to leave. He had just read so many subsidy application documents, and he remembered something, and now it was time to make arrangements.

"grown ups!"

Just when Xia Duo had already stepped out of the door of the Audit Office, he was stopped by Wendel's sudden voice. When he looked back, Wendel was hesitant to speak.

"Is there anything else?" Xia Duo asked.

"Sir, the review of subsidy applications for the Tower of Time Private Research Laboratory is considered the core business of the Audit Office, but we are ordinary people after all. I am worried that situations like today will continue to happen in the future."

Wendel looked at the stewards who came with him from the Savile Fourth Chamber of Commerce with his eyes looking rather helpless.

Is this a complaint? Or are you showing off your merits? Or are you asking for power and people?

They should be asking for someone, but after thinking about it carefully, Xia Duo realized that this problem was really difficult to solve!

The Audit Office is busy with general affairs, and most of the new mages are outstanding students under the academic training model. It is somewhat inappropriate to waste money in the Audit Office.

Furthermore, those new mages are relatively young, and in Xia Duo's opinion, they are still underage! It is suitable for continuing training and further education, rather than starting formal work prematurely.

However, many mid-level mages in the Tower of Time are so old. If they do not have the confidence and ability to achieve high-level achievements, they might as well retire to the second line as soon as possible and take on more mundane tasks so that young people can have more opportunities.

After thinking about it, Xia Duo thought of a way and said to Wendel:

"I give you the authority to send an invitation to any existing mid-level mage in the Tower of Time, inviting them to join the Audit Office. Of course, the premise is that they must have basic auditing capabilities. I will let De Parker and Cecily join. We have negotiated a high position allowance, and I hope you can choose the person appropriately!”

At this stage, if you want formal mages, especially mid-level mages, to serve as general officials for a long time, it is impossible without subsidies. However, compared to letting them set up private research laboratories to cheat funds, it is more cost-effective to give them some job subsidies.

At the same time, in order to prevent mid-level mages from coming to the audit office where there are only ordinary people and making it difficult for these ordinary people to do things, Sha Duo also gave them a reassurance:

"You just have to do things according to the rules. As long as you are in the Tower of Time, you don't have to worry about being harmed. Even if you encounter an accident while leaving the Tower of Time, I will investigate to the end and I will not let the meritorious people bleed or shed tears. "

"Thank you for your care, sir. Wendell will definitely fulfill his duties and not cause any loss to the Tower of Time!"

"Wait for notification in a few days!"

After saying that, Xia Duo left the audit office.

…

During the trip to the ruins of Master Innocent Tower, Shado not only obtained a vivid case in the realm of planes - the ruins themselves and some [Plane Creation] research notes, but the most important gain was the use of mixed crystals to replace mithril. Technology.

Although the implementation conditions of this technology are very harsh, it is feasible after all. Compared with [Plane Creation] which has no successful cases, it is already quite perfect.

Unfortunately, this technology is somewhat useless to Xia Duo, who has already mastered the mithril refining technology. In addition, he has already chosen the plane field as his main research direction in the future. Although he is quite interested in this technology , but he was not prepared to study it himself.

Having just read the subsidy application documents at the Audit Office, Xia Duo thought of a successor who could continue to study this hybrid crystal to replace mithril technology——

Siore!

This guy is one of the more distinctive people in the Tower of Time. He often makes weird gadgets, such as small puppets that can talk and move, magic potions that can change hair color after drinking, and magic potions with certain functions. Rings with special long-lasting effects, etc.

What impressed Xia Duo the most was the time when Siole turned himself into a puppy. Fortunately, he finally changed back, otherwise it would be too tragic.

In the previous wave of mid-level mages embracing the new system and establishing new private laboratories under the new system, Siole also established his own private laboratory as a matter of course, and also applied for an interesting new project.

Xia Duo just saw that in his subsidy application documents, there was a detailed research process, clear logic, well-organized, and most importantly, very imaginative, which is commendable.

In the subsidy application document called last month, his project "Some research on transformation from orc shaman witchcraft to arcane magic transformation" has been completed.

In fact, the arcane magic version of [Transformation] has been developed by him, and only some derivative application testing and optimization have not yet been completed. If nothing else, it will be within the next month or two.

To study hybrid crystals instead of mithril, you must find a trustworthy person who is interested in this type of research and has the ability to do so. Siole is undoubtedly such a person.
