Arcane Lord

Although at first glance it looked quite crowded and lively, most of them were supported by family members. The specific number of high-level mages was the original 23 in the Tower of Time, plus the 14 confirmed to join this time.

There are only 27 people in total!

The original 23 people in the Tower of Time still have a lot of water. Xia Duo is not counting the number of people who have reached high-level mages now, but the people who have accepted the inheritance ceremony and have the opportunity to become high-level mages after the short-term training. .

If we really go by the external standards - only those who master teleportation are considered high-level mages, in fact, we can't even get together 14 people.

And if we were to follow Sha Duo's own standards, there would be even fewer qualified ones, but there were 14 new high-level mages joining this time. In order to take care of the situation, Aibo found some people who could make up the number.

Of course, this is mainly because the reform of the Tower of Time has been too short, only three or four years. It also takes time for apprentices to grow. In the past few years, it is far from reaching the level of high-level mage emergence.

However, what the Tower of Time lacks the most in the early stages is high-level mages. If we only count the number of official mages, throughout Netheril, except for the Seven Towers, no mage tower organization or territory can surpass the Tower of Time.

Even Yin Orem leader, Yin Orem only accepts those who want to learn magic, but does not implement comprehensive popularization and compulsory education.

Perhaps Yin Orum has trained more formal mages than the Tower of Time, but that is accumulated over hundreds of years, and some have long since passed away. There may not be as many as the Tower of Time in existence now, but the Tower of Time only uses Three or four years!

It can be said that time is Xia Duo's greatest magic weapon, and stability is Xia Duo's first need.

Just like what was said in a novel he once read, "Give me time, I will surpass all my predecessors." If you give him a stable and ample space for development, he can lift the entire main plane.

This is the ideal situation, but reality is of course different from this.

What he has done and what effects he has produced, others will imitate after seeing it. Although those people may lag behind in system design, the effects produced may not be much worse than him.

In addition, although Xia Duo desires stability, he does not want the civilization he created to be a flower in a greenhouse, subject to real competition and blows.

Although it may seem detrimental to him in the short term, in the long run, this is a necessary experience for civilization to become a civilization.

At this stage, the level of civilization development in the main plane is relatively low, and most of the pressure from the outside world is placed on Xia Duo alone. However, with the continuous development of civilization, Xia Duo will also have a day when he can't support himself. Civilized competition naturally requires a civilized collective to cope with it. .

A civilization that relies on individuals has no potential. Even if it is the same for a while, once that individual encounters a setback, the civilization may collapse.

From a historical perspective, it is the times that create heroes, not heroes. Of course, the inevitability of history does not in any way undermine the role of individual heroes in history.

Looking at the living individuals at the table below, Xia Duo understood that the beginning of civilization was here, in every apprentice in the Tower of Time, and in every citizen working outside.

"Welcome Pisti, Nareem, Cantumans,..., Spiseno to join the Tower of Time, and welcome your family members to become naturalized in the Great Xia Territory. I hope we can work together in the future to create a better home! "

After giving a brief speech, Xia Duo raised the wine glass at hand. The clear and green elf fruit wine emitted a faint fragrance. Although it did not match the current dinner atmosphere, in terms of its soothing effect, it was very beneficial to the caster. It's just right.

With Xia Duo taking the lead, everyone else raised their glasses one by one. The newcomer only took a sip, but the old man from the Tower of Time took a swig.

Elf cider was originally only allocated to official mages in the Tower of Time, but as the number of official mages in the Tower of Time increased, the cider was not enough. It was not easy to increase production in a short period of time, because new mages were added faster.

Therefore, they can only import from the Elf City opposite Conifera City. This has become a large expense for the Tower of Time's daily expenses. Although the previous ration quantity is still maintained, one bottle per month, this is obviously is not enough.

At this moment, there is unlimited supply at the banquet, and the old people from the Tower of Time know to seize this opportunity, because this fruit wine not only has a soothing effect, but also has an excellent taste.

The elders of the Tower of Time set an example, and the newcomers quickly learned from it, and this also allowed them to begin to integrate into the open and free atmosphere of the Tower of Time.

After that, as the hot dishes were served one by one, and with Xia Duo's personal introduction, the Daxia delicacies captured the hearts of these newlyweds, and the banquet reached its climax with loud praises and applause.

During this period, Sha Duo also introduced some basic information about the Tower of Time to the fourteen newcomers, including their next work arrangements.

Accordingly, these newcomers talked about their experiences in Yin Olum Territory and even other places in the mainland.

…

Although Xia Duo incarnated as an elf many times, he didn't like the elves' habit of feasting all night long. After bringing everyone to a feast, he promptly announced the end of the dinner party.

"Everyone go back and have a rest early. New recruits will come to the Human Resources Office on the public floor of the Tower of Time tomorrow. Depak will arrange a brief training for you so that you can quickly adapt to the working conditions of the Tower of Time.

"Others who have no special circumstances will continue their spell-casting training tomorrow. The construction of the new city will start in a few days. The training now is to reduce mistakes in the future, so don't take it to heart."

After speaking, Sha Duo summoned De Parker to explain some arrangements for the next day's training, and then left the banquet hall with Niya.

…

In the study.

Xia Duo lazily leaned on the elf chair in front of the projection window. With a finger, the dark night scene on the projection window was immediately replaced by an overlooking perspective of the ground territory.

With the gradual popularization of cheap magic lamps, the scene of thousands of lights is not only seen in imagination, but actually appears in front of Xia Duo.

But he only watched it for a while. Niya changed into her regular clothes and came to the side, and then he switched the territory scene displayed on the projection window back to the dark night scene.

"Why don't you continue watching?" Niya asked curiously.

"There's no point in watching it every day. Things will get better and better in the future."

With the promotion and popularization of magic lamps in the territory, Xia Duo watched the night of the territory "light up" little by little. Originally, only the altar in the Altar Square was more conspicuous in the night view of the territory, and the altar would also emit light at night. The faint holy light.

As for the rest of the place, not to mention it was completely dark, but looking down from a high altitude, it was not much different from darkness. The holy light of the altar was not very obvious, and other candlelights were nothing.
