Arcane Lord

These four goals in the first phase of the Tower of Time's transformation were a relatively stable transformation plan that was arrived at after repeated discussions between Shado, Cecily, and several other mid-level mages.

After talking about these small goals, Xia Duo carefully observed the expressions of everyone in the conference room. Some were secretly happy, some were confused, but most of them had calm faces.

No one asked a question?

Of course, Shado had considered this situation. He glanced at the corner of the conference room, where the members of the Society were. Their eyes met. Dean immediately understood and stood up to ask:

"Lord Xia Da, you just said that the borrowing fees for some books will be reduced or waived. Is that true? Do we also have a chance?"

"Of course it's true!" Xia Duo said with certainty, "However, only books about the nature of the magic network and the principles of magic are within the scope of the exemption. Later I will set up a special exemption area in the library for everyone to choose from. "

The essence of the magic network and the principle of magic actually refer to the theoretical part of magic, which together with magic technology (spells) constitute the entire concept of magic.

In fact, just the theoretical part can be powerful.

Shado is willing to open these up almost free of charge. Although in his view this is inevitable for development, it is undoubtedly a great benefit to the mages of Netheril.

This is actually part of the Arcanist training plan, but Shado's main target is not these official mages, but the Tower of Time apprentices who failed to appear in this conference room.

Apprentices are basically under 20 years old. They are young and active in thinking, and are the most suitable training targets. As for these formal mages, except for a few who are younger, they are basically in the fourth or fifth year.

There are a lot of people who have not yet become high-level mages, and their potential is limited after all. Of course, Xia Duo does not exclude people who are late bloomers, but the probability of this is too small.

He didn't think the Tower of Time could produce such a one.

However, since apprentices can be exempted from the exemption, it makes no sense that formal mages cannot be exempted from the exemption. Coupled with the minimal expectations for the so-called late bloomers, Xia Duo opened the exemption to all members.

…

After Dean's start, people continued to stand up and ask Shado questions. There were no abnormal situations or serious questions. This was of course because the first stage of transformation mainly involved apprentices.

Official mages may be able to realize something, but after all, it has nothing to do with them, but they have a lot of benefits.

Even if there is an audit office specifically for the private laboratories of mid-level mages, in addition to auditing and accounting the special investments allocated by the Tower of Time, its existence can also provide convenience for various mid-level mages to apply for project approval.

At least the process is simpler.

Except for those who are interested in playing tricks, no normal person will reject the Audit Office.

In other words, even if there is any trick on the mind, it is impossible to say it in front of all the mages. After all, auditing is the official right of the Tower of Time. The only one who can object is probably Niya, but what does she have? What's the reason for objection?

Therefore, except for a mid-level mage who asked about the role of the Audit Office and Xia Duo explained it, no one asked again.

Of the four small goals in the first phase of the Tower of Time's transformation, what everyone is most concerned about is actually the issue of library loan book fee reductions, and most issues are focused on this aspect.

Xia Duo was already prepared to answer this question one by one.

…

After a long time, the conference room finally became quiet. Everyone knew that the transformation of the Tower of Time was a foregone conclusion, and they all turned their attention to Xia Duo, and Xia Duo accepted it calmly.

"Everyone, I hope to witness the smooth transformation and glory of the Tower of Time together. Regarding the apprenticeship management office and the audit office that are about to be established, these two departments need everyone's support. If you want to work there, you can contact Taling. I."

After saying that, Xia Duo announced the end of the meeting.

This meeting basically went according to his will and expectations. The only thing that surprised him was that Sandur was not only present, but also did not object to him, and even asked a non-irritating question in a cooperative manner.

This actually made some of Xia Duo's prepared back-ups useless, as if he punched in the air. People are like this sometimes, they get what they want but are not satisfied.

However, what will happen to Sandur in the future depends on the actual situation in the future. If he has been performing well, then there will be no need for Xia Duo to deal with him, and it is not impossible to even reward him.

…

After leaving the conference room, Xia Duo first went to the library and temporarily closed one of the areas, preparing to reopen it as a reduced area.

After that, he returned to his residence and prepared to compile a list of reduced books based on his own experience. He had already been doing these things before, but he had not yet completed them.

And even if it is completed, it is only the first step. The list is a list, the books are books, and the books also need to be sorted out to eliminate some irrelevant content.

For example, a lot of travel notes, diaries, etc.

What Sha Duo really wants is a set of "standard textbooks from scratch to becoming an arcanist", but he also knows that it is unrealistic to obtain them in a short time, so he can only use the existing books in Tower of Time first.

When there is time and conditions in the future, it will not be too late to re-write a set of standard textbooks.

Just as he was checking the list of books provided by the Tower Spirit and observing the atmosphere in the Tower of Time through the Tower Spirit's projection, he suddenly received a message from Niya——

"Come to the study!"

Back so early? It’s only morning!

Sha Duo was a little surprised. When she communicated with Niya last night, she said she would come back at night because she would usually make up classes at Gilles Tower during the day. This was a task assigned by her teacher and would not change easily.

Somehow I'm back now!

Although he was a little confused, Xia Duo also thought too much. He tidied up his desk a little, then got up and went to Niya's study on the top floor of the Tower of Time.

…

When Sha Duo arrived at Niya's study, in addition to Nia herself, he also saw Aibo Ke, Depa Ke and Cecily. When he saw these people, Sha Duo probably knew what Nia wanted to do with him.

The transformation of the Tower of Time is inseparable.

"Xia Duo, long time no see!" Niya took the initiative to say hello.

"Uh-" Xia Duo was stunned,

It has indeed been a long time since the two met face to face in real life. It was still more than a month ago when they were in Severington. They are in contact almost every day!

But Xia Duo quickly reacted and said, "Long time no see!"

cough--

Looking at the strange behavior of the two people, Aibo couldn't help coughing slightly, "Niya, just now you said you brought some books back from Giles Tower?"

Sha Duo hadn't arrived before and didn't know what they were talking about before, but according to Aiboke, Niya brought books back from Giles Tower?
