Arcane Lord

"The Magic Affairs Officer has two main jobs. One is to be deeply involved in the production and life of the territory and explore the application possibilities of magic in these civilian fields, whether it is spells or magic items.

"The other is to connect with the moral education courses of the Tower of Time, to guide apprentices to establish a deep understanding of magic as the primary productive force, and also to establish for them a preliminary concept that civilian use of magic is a major trend in future development."

While Sha Duo was talking, Dean was remembering. After all, not everyone has a photographic or ear memory. A good memory is not as good as a bad writing. That's what Sha Duo told him!

"As for the selection criteria, first of all, they must be prepared to live in the Daxia Territory for a long time, and then they must be interested in the civilian use of magic. The last one is a supplement. Those who are from the Daxia Territory will be given priority."

The last point is not something Xia Duo said casually, but apprentices from Daxia Territory all signed a three-year training contract. After the three years, regardless of whether they have completed their studies or not, they must return to the territory for employment as long as the territory needs it.

However, there is still some time before the three-year period. In theory, even if you have completed your studies, you can still stay in the Tower of Time for three years.

But this does not prevent Xia Duo from recruiting in advance.

"How many people are needed in total? What are the rank requirements?" Dean asked.

"A total of twenty people are needed. There are no high requirements in terms of rank, as long as they are formal ranks."

In fact, Xia Duo knew that many apprentices were now official mages, but they were still studying in the class because they failed to pass the rank examination.

In order not to delay their studies, and of course to establish the importance of ranks, Xia Duocai required applicants to have formal ranks.

Nowadays, the Tower of Time mages don't know much about the ranks. They only regard it as the authority test for the official members of the Tower of Time in the past, and they don't care about anything after passing it.

However, in Xia Duo's plan, each promotion level requires examinations. At the same time, specific work experience, positions, achievements, and even academic qualifications that have not yet been reflected must be considered comprehensively.

They will need to upgrade in the future!

"What about the salary?" Dean asked again.

"The salary, based on rank, is the same as the basic salary of a full-time researcher at the Tower of Time Independent Research Laboratory. At the same time, they retain the benefits of participating in the low-level mage training class and mid-level mage training class in the Tower of Time."

In fact, strictly speaking, the latter is not something that Xia Duo, the "recruiter", can decide at will, but who makes him both the recruiter and the agent of Niya's authority in the Tower of Time!

Both sides are mine, so of course Xia Duo can do whatever he says.

…

After Dean left, Shado successively interviewed more than a dozen members of the Association who had abstained from voting for the establishment of a branch at yesterday's group meeting.

In addition to understanding their true thoughts on establishing a branch, it is also inevitable to give them a few words of encouragement.

In this way, the day passed quickly. In the evening, Sha Duo and Niya talked about the communication mystery lock she was studying. This was the first time Sha Duo asked Niya about the specific progress after returning.

"I'm stuck on the deep magic network transformation problem. I feel that I may have reached the limit of my current ability." Niya said with frustration.

When she first started studying the communication mystery lock, she was still full of confidence, but the deeper she went, the more she felt that this technology was huge, complex, unfathomable, and impossible for one person to study thoroughly.

Not to mention, she is not simply recreating a mystery lock that already has various parameters, but re-creating a brand new mystery lock that fits the background communication spell of the magic network.

The difficulty has climbed to another level again.

In addition, there is another most critical issue. The depth of the magic network that she can now access is only on the seventh level. It is not that it cannot go deeper, but that magic research does not only involve issues at the level of the magic network.

There is also the transformation relationship between the magic network strings at all levels. Niya is determined to become a real magic controller, rather than a spell caster who only knows how to play with ready-made spells.

This means that every step she takes in the level of the magic network must have a full understanding of the next level of magic network. Otherwise, even if she becomes a Grand Arcanist instantly, it will not be of much practical help to the research.

At most, she can "see" the deep magic network more intuitively, and this should actually be something she can calculate theoretically now.

How could Xia Duo, as the person closest to her, not feel anything about Niya's frustration and worry? However, in the specific thinking process, he could not help Niya much.

What he can do now is to provide Nia with some teaching aid materials as much as possible, so he asked Nia again: "Have you read the materials I gave you before?"

"What information?"

"That "Promotion Encyclopedia"!"

"Of course I did, but does that have anything to do with the problem I'm encountering now?" Niya asked in confusion.

"Then why are you still stuck in the transformation of the Deep Demonic Network?"

Sha Duo couldn't help but sit up from the bed and looked at Niya in surprise, "That document contains many formulas to simplify calculations, as well as a lot of practical cases and techniques, didn't you see?"

The so-called "Encyclopedia of Promotion" was actually brought back by Xia Duo from [Projection Plane·Remnant of the Empire]. It can be regarded as a textbook for the academy. It is a learning material that can only be obtained by high-level mages who have graduated from the academy after they officially join the academy. , more in-depth than college textbooks.

It's just that after entering the institute, there is no need to take an exam. Rank promotion is basically determined by project results, so the most critical simulation test paper is missing.

But since Xia Duo asked Nia to give this information to her, he naturally made a lot of test papers based on it, and many of them were combined with the cases in the information. After doing a few sets of papers, she can almost master the relevant knowledge points.

According to his estimation, this set of information can at least support Nia to contact the ninth layer of the magic network as an arcane magician, but she didn't expect it to be stuck now.

Xia Duo's reaction was somewhat beyond Niya's expectations. She also sat up and asked in a daze, "Does the information really contain what you said?"

"..." Xia Duo was speechless, "Didn't you just say you read it?"

"I just flipped through the first few pages and didn't read any further because I thought it was very simple."

Niya's voice became smaller and smaller, and she shrank under the quilt. In the end, only a very slight sound came out: "I thought you gave me that information so that I could give it to others!"

"It's for you!"

Xia Duo pulled Niya out of the quilt, held her shoulders and said seriously, "You didn't give the information to others, did you?"

"To Uncle Aberk."

Niya said in a low voice. At this time, she felt extremely embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Xia Duo. She kept blaming herself in her heart, why didn't she finish reading it first!

"Forget about giving it to Aberk. I'll prepare another one for you tomorrow."
