Arcane Lord

"Okay, Dean, I don't even know when you got the talent of a bard?" Sha Duo patted Dean on the shoulder and said with a smile, "The road to magic is not just about how fast you go. It depends on how far it goes, so work hard!”

As the leader of the organization, Xia Duo certainly cannot dampen the enthusiasm of the members. Instead, he must encourage them more and let them see hope.

But there’s another thing to consider!

Previously, he restricted the development of the organization because he was worried about obstruction from the top management of the Mage Tower. Now that he himself has become a high-level executive, it is time for the organization to loosen its restrictions.

After chatting with the two about the past for a while, Xia Duo brought the topic to the organization's recruitment of new people:

"Dean, Sammy, how many ordinary apprentices want to join us now?"

"Too much!"

Speaking of this, Dean looked so excited that it felt like his fiery red hair was standing on end with excitement, "You don't know how many people came looking for me after returning from the celebration yesterday! People came looking for me until midnight!"

As if to prove it, Sami also talked about the scene when he came back last night. Of course, those who talked more were those who wanted to join before:

"Before the Midsummer Festival, we had already interviewed many people. Whether they were interested in interests or really agreed with our ideas, there were almost 6 people who performed best. They spoke enthusiastically in every discussion and were able to motivate others to participate. discuss."

Then, Sammy briefly gave the detailed information of these six people, and Dean also added from time to time.

As Sha Duo listened, he recalled what happened more than a year ago for him. After listening, he nodded with satisfaction. After he left (Pioneering), Dean and the others did still maintain this small organization.

"I have an idea. Listen to it and see if it works. Now that we have become official mages, uh, Dean should be soon, I think we can make all members of the organization official mages. Those who have not become official mages can do it. Become a reserve member.”

"Preparatory member?"

"Yes! You should have felt it by now. If the gap in understanding of magic is too large, it will affect the effect of the seminar. I think it can be done in layers."

Then, Xia Duo revealed his long-planned plan——

"In the future, the preliminary members can participate in the discussion meeting of the formal members, and below the preliminary members, they can be divided into 'development targets', or 'associate members'. The specific name can be thought of at that time. In short, this associate member can participate in the preliminary members Members’ discussion.”

In fact, no matter how lofty ideals and concepts an organization has, as long as it becomes an organization, it will naturally be divided into classes - group leader - group member, president - member, senior - junior, and so on.

This is inevitable, and Xia Duo has no intention of forcibly fabricating an organization where everyone is equal. In this case, it is actually no different from no organization.

He is now able to treat an ordinary person and a spell caster equally, but Dean and the others may not be able to do so, even if they also become spell casters from ordinary people.

In this world, spell casters have a natural sense of class superiority. Of course, from another perspective, spell casters have powers that ordinary people do not have. It is normal to have such a status and perception.

Originally, Xia Duo created this small organization just to improve the current "academic atmosphere" and provide some convenience for himself to obtain magic knowledge.

But now, the situation has changed. Changing the atmosphere is no longer the main purpose. Xia Duo wants to strengthen the organization. Isn’t it natural that the organization he created can be used by me?

Shado's plan made Dean and Sami deep in thought. They really felt more and more like they didn't want to pay attention to those ordinary apprentices.

The ideal that I had been so passionate about before became cold when I became or was about to become an official mage.

In other words, no matter how good the ideal is, it still needs to be driven by interests.

As the organization grows and there are more formal mages, they will gain more, instead of just wasting time with apprentices every day.

Regarding Xia Duo's proposal, the two quickly responded, "Great! I (also) agree!"

Afterwards, the three of them discussed the rules of the organization and adjusted some rules that were appropriate in the past but were out of date. For example, everyone must agree to join the organization.

As the organization expands, this will increasingly hinder its development.

Of course, these regulations need to be finalized after discussion with other people. Now it's just Xia Duo who gives them a heads up.

This is also in line with the organizational philosophy of cooperation, openness, sharing and win-win.

"Okay, think about it slowly, and we'll discuss any other suggestions when we meet. I have to leave beforehand. By the way, don't forget to supervise their work."

In the eyes of the Tower of Time, no matter whether they are formal apprentices or ordinary apprentices, they are essentially servants, and no one can be left behind in the work they should do.

Sha Duo gave Dean and Dean a few brief words, and then left the Arcane Garden directly. He chose to ignore Ta Ling's words, "Mage Sha Duo, you have left your post, please return immediately."

A small organization needs to develop and grow, and this cannot be hidden from Niya. It is best to discuss this matter in advance, so as not to accidentally touch any taboos and be hunted all over the world.

Of course, he dared to do this because Niya was in charge of the Tower of Time now. If it were Lord Epps, he would not dare to test it at will.

Although he didn't have much contact with Niya, from the only contact he had, Sha Duo thought he had a fairly good understanding of her character!

He is indeed in the state of a young and fledgling young man, not some unfathomable old monster.

…

"Master Xia Duo!"

"Master Xia Duo!"

"Ah! Master Xia Da!"

"Xia Duo, let's have a drink together when you have time, and I'll introduce you to two friends!"

…

Xia Duo only went to the public floor midway to receive his monthly share after the upgraded privileges. People kept saying hello to him along the way.

There were formal mages and apprentices, some whom they knew, but most of whom did not. Xia Duo responded to them one by one, saying a few words to the formal mages and nodding to the apprentices.

In the elevator, Xia Duo couldn't help but complain, "It looks like I have become the 'Today's Star' of the Tower of Time!"

When he reached the top floor, although he did not contact Niya in advance, the door to the reception room and the study room were still opened for him.

Niya was sitting at the desk, lost in thought. The pen in her hand had dropped to the paper on the table at some point, and the ink was smeared.

"Niya." Xia Duo called softly, but Niya didn't seem to hear it at all, her eyes just flickered.

"Niya, mentor Niya?"

The almost teasing voice made Niya unable to hold back any longer. She raised her head and glared at Xia Duo, "Why are you here? Has the Arcane Garden been tidied up?"

Why am I here? I don’t believe you don’t know that I left Arcane Garden!

Of course, it is impossible for Xia Duo to really say this, and Niya might turn her back directly if she said it, "Arcane Garden is already being sorted out, and production will definitely resume within a week."

After saying that, Xia Duo pretended to be casual and asked: "Can't a demiplane like the Arcane Garden be directly controlled by the tower spirit?"

But Niya just stared at him and didn't say a word for a long time. It wasn't until Xia Duo felt some itching on her scalp that Niya said: "The energy reserve of the Tower of Time is insufficient, so save as much as you can!"
