Arcane Lord

After drinking tea and reading the book, Shado temporarily put away "Gretta's Psychic Protection". At the moment, he didn't have much thought to study any psychic spells.

For the time being, it is enough to have the [Pioneer Scepter]. He should finish upgrading other commonly used spells before considering anything else!

After leaving the residence, Shado sent a message to Niya that her troubles had been resolved, so that she didn't have to worry and could just study the magic network information brought back from Giles Tower with peace of mind.

However, Niya teleported it directly and asked urgently: "Is it really solved? But there may really be problems with the New Year celebration!"

"It's really solved!" Xia Duo looked at Niya's concerned eyes and said seriously, "You can't escape the New Year's celebration next month, so don't worry too much. I believe that at least safety is not a problem! As for For the rest, it all depends on your own methods!”

Xia Duo may not be able to do anything about the troubles in his soul, but he is very good at protecting his physical body. At worst, he can hide in his personal space. Can the enemy still chase him in?

If he really catches up, he will be really happy. Isn't this equivalent to a little lamb automatically getting into the tiger's mouth?

In fact, Xia Duo is no longer as nervous about his own safety issues now as he was at the beginning of time travel, but there are always things that are more troublesome than his own safety issues.

After all, safety does not mean comfort, thoughtfulness, or desirability, it is just the most basic psychological need.

The New Year celebration is such a big trouble. If possible, Xia Duo really doesn't want to get involved. Wouldn't it be nice to just farm in a corner where others can't find it?

But there is a saying that goes well, "A person cannot help himself when he is in the world." Since he has already boarded the ship of Seven Pagodas and received a lot of benefits from it, how could he be allowed to get out so easily?

Everything has a price, Xia Duo has long been aware of it.

…

After comforting Niya for a while, until the worry in her eyes disappeared a lot, Xia Duo said: "Now that the King Slayer Star has retreated, the effect of [Dragon Madness Lock] should have disappeared, and those giant dragons should not go crazy again. .

"If you have time, take Abel and Pamela to fly outside. The Arcane Garden is still too small for flying creatures!"

"ah?!"

Hearing Sha Duo mention the two precious Pegasus in the Arcane Garden, Niya suddenly exclaimed, her eyes lit up and she said happily:

"I almost forgot about them after being away for a month. I'm going now!"

But after speaking, her tone became hesitant again. She looked at Xia Duo and confirmed again: "Then I'm going now?"

"Go, go!" Sha Duo said repeatedly.

He guessed that Niya was probably thinking of how she had been teased by him for playing with Pegasus, but who didn't have an innocent and childlike side? As long as she didn't lose her mind by playing with things, Xia Duo would support her.

At least maintaining a certain innocence is more conducive to the development and perfection of human nature and personality.

…

Soon, Niya left excitedly, while Xia continued to walk towards the elevator, preparing to go to the public floor.

When he passed the door of Tilak's research room, he had no intention of going in and taking a look.

Today's Tower of Time is generally on the right track after its transformation. Compared with Horst Laboratory, which designs and mass-produces magic items, Tilak Laboratory, which mainly conducts pioneering research, does not require too much intervention.

As long as funds and resources are in place in a timely manner, it is enough. Of course, necessary audits and reviews are also indispensable. There is a special audit office to do this.

As for the Horst Research Laboratory, Sha Duo will look for them specifically. This time, he mainly wants to see the production and manufacturing status of the communication magic weapon.

This was related to the Tower of Time's maximum cash flow for a long time in the future. Nothing could be done without money, so he couldn't help but ignore it.

He has been away for a month, and those formal mage-level magic technicians should have been trained. Not to mention other things, it should be no problem to be proficient in at least the 2nd level [Magic Network Background Communication].

If they really can't master it proficiently in a month, then in Xia Duo's eyes, they may be destined to be junior technicians for the rest of their lives.

…

Public floor, workshop 022.

The moment Xia Duo walked into the workroom, he saw a busy assembly line work scene——

The core mithril components of the communication magic weapon are divided into four assembly lines based on spell element units, and then enter the final assembly line.

After the final assembly of the core mithril components was completed, it was transferred to the hands of formal mage-level magic technicians. There were three people in total. The first one was responsible for packaging, the second was responsible for connecting the magic network, and the third was responsible for inspection.

Finally, the completed crystal ball-like communication magic weapon was put into a small box behind the three of them. There were eight in each box. At this time, seven or eight boxes had been accumulated here.

Moreover, Xia Duo noticed that the number of people on the production line at this time was almost twice as many as before. They were all apprentice-level magic technicians, and the positions of all production line personnel had been more or less adjusted.

The production line operation he saw this time was much smoother than before, and perhaps the efficiency was also improved a lot. It was almost at the production limit of the three official mage-level magic technicians!

I don’t know who made the adjustment, but he really took this matter to his heart!

If he specializes in the field of technology, he may understand the entire process of mass production of communication instruments, even the details, but when it comes to the specific arrangement of production line personnel, he may not have as much understanding as the front-line production personnel.

…

Before Xia Duo felt how long he had entered the 022 workshop, Ganal hurried from outside after receiving the news, "Xia Duo, you are back!"

Although the two are in a superior-subordinate relationship, their personal relationship is not bad, especially since they had known each other during Sha Duo's apprenticeship, not to mention becoming Niya's students together after becoming an official mage.

Of course, Xia Duo later came to power, but he was not a narrow-minded person, and he was quite tolerant and preferential to these former companions.

"Ganal, did you have the idea to add these new mechanics?"

"Yes, after many adjustments, I found that this can achieve the highest production efficiency. If you have enough time, you can also let them attend apprenticeship courses or low-level mage classes. They themselves are also willing."

Ganal's words seemed to be taken for granted, but Xia Duo sighed inwardly.

Once upon a time, he was a worker on earth, but the improvement in work efficiency would not bring him time and opportunities to study. Instead, he would be more oppressed by his boss.

From 966 to 996, the change is not as simple as a number.

But here, the core of the mass production of magic items is the spellcasting ability of magic technicians. Whether they are apprentice level or formal mage level, spellcasting has a limit, and it is impossible to work continuously for 8 hours.

Therefore, magic mechanics actually have a lot of freedom to control their time.

Ganal's approach seems to be squeezing them, but in essence it is to improve efficiency and give the magic technicians more free time to improve themselves.

This was actually what Xia Duo originally envisioned, that even a magic technician could become a great mage!
