Arcane Lord

The inheritance ritual among the two choices given by Xia Duo comes from Uvelun in the projection plane. The technology itself is relatively complete. It just needs to "record" some wisdom gems according to the actual situation of the Tower of Time.

As for the "learning machine", currently Xia Duo is not completely sure that the finished product will be ready before a certain deadline. He can only say that the envisioned "intelligent learning machine" can be realized.

It is not the simple question-and-answer machine that the Tower of Time now uses for its apprentices, but the kind of learning machine that uses a "knowledge star map" method like a real person to teach students one-on-one in accordance with their aptitude.

Choosing the inheritance ceremony means that there is a high probability of becoming a high-level mage, but it is not certain. Inheritance can only pass on knowledge and part of the experience, and there is still a specific individual between you and the practice!

But with the knowledge reserve and partial experience of a high-level mage, as long as an individual is willing to spend time practicing, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a high-level mage. (If life is too short, there is nothing you can do~)

Choosing a learning machine means choosing an uncertain future. Perhaps other people who choose inheritance rituals have become high-level mages, and a perfect intelligent learning machine has not yet been built.

Xia Duo looked at the expressions on the faces of everyone in the conference room and could probably guess their choice. If he thought that becoming a high-level mage was within his grasp, it would naturally be better to choose a learning machine.

"One Sword Dominates"

And if you think that you have no potential to become a high-level mage, then the inheritance ceremony with a higher lower limit is a good choice.

However, the choice between the two is to a certain extent Xia Duo's career diversion for the Tower of Time mage. Choosing the inheritance ritual will guarantee you a high-level mage, but in the future you will be engaged in work that has nothing to do with magic research.

Specifically, at the moment, Sha Duo will send all those who choose the inheritance ceremony to the Magic Artificial Department. Senior technicians may be more suitable for them.

Only those who choose learning machines and take the initiative to learn can continue to stay in the research department. In a normal magical society, everyone does not need to conduct magic research. Most people only need to know the basic principles and how to apply them.

This is actually the inevitable result of universal education. We cannot allocate a laboratory and corresponding resources to everyone. This is unrealistic and can easily lead to confusion and huge waste.

In other words, Xia Duo plans to further deepen the ideological and institutional transformation within the Tower of Time through everyone's choice of inheritance rituals and learning machines.

If everything goes well, it will be seamlessly connected with the territorial order in the future.

…

After talking about welfare, this impromptu meeting came to an end. Niya came out and said a few words to announce the end of the meeting.

When everyone left, Cecily stayed behind as expected, pursed her lips tightly, ran to Niya aggrievedly, held Niya's hand and cried:

"The Tower of Time can no longer spare any extra resources to build a floating city! Oh wow, it's so hard for me!"

While comforting the little sisters who grew up together, Niya winked at Xia Duo. Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, "This matter may not have been easy to solve in the past, but now I am more worried about which company I should accept the resources from! "

The performance of the Floating City in Sluvende may not reach Netheril so quickly, but it will always come. In fact, some lords who often pay attention to the international situation may have received relevant news long ago.

It's just that the news may be too shocking and needs time to buffer or verify. Once it calms down or is verified, Xia Duo can almost imagine that someone will give him whatever he wants.

Worst of all, the mithril mine previously discovered in the Green Pearl Forest can also be developed. At this time, there is no need to worry about anyone coming to rob it.

Of course, Xia Duo still prefers to make long-term plans. He may not open his own mine temporarily, or accept gifts from others. He can still obtain resources through fair transactions.

In fact, for the strong, ensuring fairness and stability is the best interest.

Those who act recklessly once they gain power, looking for this key point and that key point, will eventually suffer backlash when their power declines.

For people like Xia Duo who follow the royal path, even if they decline in the future, others will feel more regretful than embarrassed.

As the saying goes, "The right way will help you many, but the wrong way will help you little." It is easier to gain the widest recognition by practicing the kingly way, and it is more difficult to decline than by "acting domineeringly".

This is actually the "sustainable development concept" that the sages from Xia Duo's hometown realized very early. In the era before Xia Duo traveled through time, they still adhered to this concept. Is it simply a matter of tradition? No interest considerations at all?

Acting in a kingly way will achieve great results and lose a lot, but gain more; acting in a domineering way is almost the exact opposite and only cares about short-term interests. Although it gains a lot temporarily, in the long run, it greatly reduces the potential for future development. .

Regarding Cecily's concerns, Xia Duo only mentioned two points. One was that he had contacted the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce and purchased a batch of basic materials.

The Tower of Time is currently preparing for the ascension ceremony of Master Yerevan, and Yerevan is the ancestor of President Jenna of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce (who she just recognized not long ago). Sha Duo has previously expressed his support for Yerevan's ascension to the gods. .

Although the actual expression is no objection, in this matter, no objection is support. Jenna naturally needs to appreciate it, not to mention returning the alliance relationship that the two have agreed on before. It is not a big deal to purchase some materials on account.

The other is another important source of the mithril of the Tower of Time - Leisen Territory. At present, Leisen Territory has formed a mithril production pricing alliance with several mithril-producing territories.

Leisen Territory has a lot of say in this alliance because of its special status, and can influence more than 30% of the total mithril production of Netheril.

When Shado proposed to Lord Leisen that he wanted to purchase more mithril, Lord Leisen agreed almost without saying a word. In addition to the relationship between Shado and Cliff behind Lord Leisen, the floating city also played a big role.

Although Shado did not drive the floating city to Lord Leisen's doorstep, and there was not even a trace of verbal threat, this deterrence or power was actually effective.

Lord Leisen is still on the account, and the price is even higher than the price agreed by both parties before. It is definitely not possible to adjust the production or transfer reserves without cost.

There is no reason for Shado to let the helpers pay this part of the cost.

In actual calculation, Xiaduo has prepared more than 10 million gold coins of mithril for the construction of the floating city infrastructure. The first batch will be delivered within a week.

Before that, the reserves of the Tower of Time can still cope with it temporarily.

As for the five-color gems, Xiaduo has long been fed up with the various types and specifications of five-color gems. With [Misera], he has completely given up on five-color gems.

Arcane crystals are the best substitute.
