Arcane Lord

(There are modifications and additions at the end of the previous chapter)

The reason why Xia Duo did this was not only that he really needed a holiday during the Midsummer Festival, but more importantly, he wanted the people in the two territories—especially the people in the Saville Territory—to have a deeper understanding of the new policies of the Tower of Time. know.

The previous expansion of the Tower of Time had aroused great repercussions in the Saville Territory, but the actual effect was not very satisfactory. After all, there was no precedent, and the training of mages was notoriously expensive.

Except for a small number of people who voluntarily signed up to try it out, most of them were forced to go on tasks by Mayor Thain.

Coupled with the relocation of the Tower of Time, it is inconvenient for new apprentices from the Saville Territory to come and go. Many of them have never left the Tower of Time since they entered it!

During this Midsummer Festival, Xia Duo insisted on letting these people go back, which could be considered as a warm-up for the Tower of Time's next new apprentice recruitment plan!

…

The lobby on the first floor of the Tower of Time.

After receiving the notice from the Academic Affairs Office, the apprentices from Savileland took the elevator and rushed here from the public floor.

They had never felt the pressure of the old system, and their emotions were very obvious. They looked like teenagers, either complaining about the sudden eviction of people from the Tower of Time, or telling their familiar companions about their homesickness.

Most of them are discussing why the Tower of Time has a mandatory holiday this time, and they are guessing whether the courses and exams will be more arduous after the holiday!

Xia Duo stood in the middle of the hall, looking at the energetic new apprentices, and sighed in his heart, now they look like students!

When the people were almost here, Xia Duo stretched out his hand and pressed down, and the spell started to work, and the hall instantly became extremely quiet.

Some apprentices who had been talking just now found that there was suddenly no sound, and they couldn't help but open their mouths even more, as if they wanted to shout, but still couldn't make any sound.

"Attention all apprentices, I will summon the portal to the central square of Savile Town later. Everyone should line up and enter from both sides. After reaching the opposite side, leave as soon as possible without blocking others."

After saying that, Xia Duo summoned a medium-sized portal about three meters high and five meters wide in the center of the hall. The mirror-like portal clearly showed the scene in the central square opposite -

Mayor Thain was commanding the territorial guards to maintain order. There was almost a crowd of onlookers outside, many of whom were family members of the apprentices. After receiving the news, they came to "pick up the station."

Following Xia Duo's order, the apprentices in the first-floor hall of the Tower of Time lined up neatly and entered from both sides of the portal. Once they reached the opposite side, they immediately rushed towards the crowd.

There were three to four hundred apprentices in total, and all of them left quickly.

After that, Xia Duo himself walked into the portal, came to the central square, and used a small spell to spread the sound to the entire square:

"This Midsummer Festival, the Tower of Time is expected to recruit 200 apprentices of suitable age. Those who are interested can come to the town office for consultation."

After Shado finished speaking, he nodded to Mayor Thain, walked into the portal again, and returned to the Tower of Time. When he lifted the portal spell, he saw Mayor Thain dispersing the crowd.

Just as he was about to send a message to Thain to let him take advantage of such a good opportunity to publicize, Niya, who had just been observing in the study on the top floor, had already arrived.

"After Midsommar, are you still going to Savile to pick them up?"

"How could that happen!"

Xia Duo smiled and said, "That is to say, I came back late this time. If it were earlier, I would have arranged a boat transfer. Mayor Sain has already arranged how they will come back the day after tomorrow, so I don't need to worry about it."

In fact, Shado didn't mind picking up those apprentices again, but the situation in Severton was not to be missed, and he needed to keep up with the progress of Iolum's experiments.

As for why the teleportation gate of the Tower of Time is not used, it is because the semi-permanent teleportation gate has a limited number of people passing through it in a short period of time. In addition, every person who passes through the teleportation gate requires a certain maintenance cost.

It's better to cast a spell yourself and send people there.

Even if there are more archmages in the Tower of Time in the future, Xia Duo still doesn't mind doing it if he encounters this kind of thing.

After all, apprentices are the foundation for the development of the Tower of Time, so we should pay more attention to them!

…

Apprentices from the Saville Territory are on holiday, and apprentices from the Daxia Territory are no exception. However, the Tower of Time is in the Daxia Territory. They can walk through the gate of the Tower of Time without Xia Duo opening the door.

Although the Tower of Time gate also has the property of teleportation, its consumption is much lower than that of ordinary teleportation gates. Even if it is continuously opened, it will not have much impact.

But also because of the convenience of travel, not all apprentices from Daxia collar want to go home. When they go home, they will inevitably have to be dragged by their relatives to perform tricks, and there is no atmosphere for learning at all.

If you play too much, you may fail in the weekly and monthly tests after the holidays.

Therefore, many apprentices from the Great Xia leader went home to eat, rushed back to the Tower of Time after dinner, and waited until Midsummer Festival before going out to relax.

…

The day passed quickly, and the time came to the next day - the Midsummer Festival in the year 837 of the Nese calendar.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Shado and Niya came to Savile Town together to participate in the sun-rising ceremony of the Midsummer Festival celebration and welcome the rising sun.

When the red sun jumped over the horizon, Xia Duo's mood seemed to be infected in some way, and his whole person became sunny and full of hope for the future.

The worry about the attention of the elves that had been hanging in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant. At this moment, he wanted to shout loudly——

"For the sake of sacrifice, I dare to make the sun and moon change the sky!"

However, he was unable to shout it out after all, but in his heart, he had silently recited it countless times, and a kind of enlightenment triggered by the thoughts of the sages arose at this moment-

Internazionar will definitely be realized!

The sages in his hometown may not see where the order they created is going, but Xia Duo, who has already achieved initial immortality, can watch his order grow, develop, and continue little by little.

How lucky!

But ideals always require a group of like-minded people. Xia Duo thought of the Progressive Learning Society, the full name of which is "Progressive Learning Society", which is the people of the same path he cultivated.

Technology and culture are highly developed, and everyone has been fully developed.

Xia Duo wanted to see such a civilization too much. Although his current enlightenment has not reached the level of Internazionar, he also has such a pursuit!

This is not only the inertia from his hometown experience, but also his most real expectation from the bottom of his heart.

In his opinion, perhaps this is one of the ultimate goals that every intelligent creature strives for, and heaven is just like this.

…

After the Sun-raising Ceremony, Xia Duo took Niya to the temple for a short visit. Although the outside was already bustling, the temple had a rare sense of tranquility.

After pouring a cup of tea, Xia Duo and Niya talked about the issue of recruiting new members for the Tower of Time.
