Lord of Arcane

Chapter 326 Application
the next day.

Because the banquet is just an excuse after all, it started in the morning.

After all the official mages left the Tower of Time, Xia Duo immediately ordered all the apprentices to bring a day's worth of food and return to their respective residences.

Then he closed the Tower of Time and closed functional facilities such as elevators, arcane gardens, libraries, alchemy tables, and internal defense arrays.

If it wasn't for energy consumption to go through the portal, he was going to take all the apprentices outside, so as to save some more.

Finally, when he left, he restricted the transmission authority of the portal. (The portal maintains low power consumption, and opens high power consumption, and does not need to be completely closed.)
At this moment, outside, only Xia Duo can return to the Tower of Time at any time.

……

The banquet started in the morning, and there was no silence as Xia Duo expected. The mages were all very excited when they heard that Niya became the princess' student.

Perhaps the only time to be able to get involved with a big person like Her Royal Highness is now.

After all, most of the members of the Tower of Time are middle and low-level mages, let alone grand arcanists, even ordinary high-level mages are rarely seen.

But at noon, the enthusiasm of the crowd also began to fade. After all, it was Niya who became the student of Her Highness the Princess, not themselves.

Some people even wanted to leave the stage. Of course, Xia Duo couldn't agree to it. Fortunately, he had prepared in advance, so he was on guard against the silence!
The elven fruit wine in the Tower of Time's inventory is served, and you can drink it casually. More importantly, the middle-level mage exchange meeting hosted by Eberke, and the low-level mage exchange meeting hosted by himself.

Communication makes people progress, but communication also takes time!
The time soon came to noon.

Under the shade of the tree, the members of the Tower of Time were divided into two groups, drinking wine and talking about magic. If it wasn't for Xia Duo's deliberate arrangement, such a scene would have been difficult to happen.

"Master Xia Duo, I have a topic about eternal magic, and I hope to get the support of the Tower of Time." A junior mage named Tilak suddenly stood up.

"Yes, no problem, but a written application needs to be submitted." Xia Duo agreed without hesitation.

"Ah—" Tilak exclaimed.

Obviously, he didn't expect Xia Duo to agree so readily. He just mentioned it with an attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't expect Xia Duo to give him such a big surprise!

"Thank you, thank you Master Xia Duo for your support, I will definitely come up with results as soon as possible!" Tilak's voice trembled with excitement.

In the original model of the Tower of Time, only mid-level mages are eligible to apply for independent research projects, and junior mages can only do some auxiliary work for mid-level mages.

As for their own research, those who have been squeezed out of their spellcasting ability by mid-level mages just put forward some conjectures and assumptions, and even verification needs to find a time without many spellcasting tasks.

And that's usually by picking up out-of-office assignments so that all their time is theirs.

The topic raised by Tilak has also been verified intermittently, and he is certain, but he doesn't want to share it with his mentor, and he doesn't want to wait until the day he becomes an intermediate mage.

It just so happened that the exchange meeting organized by Xia Duo at the banquet allowed him to see an opportunity, and he also got what he wanted.

……

Hearing that Xia Duo agreed to Tilak's request without hesitation, other low-level mages were also ready to move, but the written application still made them hesitate.

A written application means formality, and the Tower of Time naturally needs to be rewarded for its investment. If the research of the subject fails, they may have to bear a large and heavy debt.

Not everyone has the courage to try.

Not everyone, like Tilak, already has relatively feasible topics and the ability to conduct independent research.

"Does anyone else want to apply for special research?" Xia Duo asked again.

In all fairness, he still hoped that more people would apply, because this meant that these junior mages would have the potential to become intermediate mages or even higher.

In Xia Duo's opinion, someone who only learns spells and does not do research can't be called a "mage" at all, but should be called a "human spell caster"!
This kind of person has no hope of becoming an advanced arcanist.

At this moment, Kaili, who was a little timid in the crowd, suddenly whispered: "Xia Duo, I also want to—"

"No, you don't want to!"

Xia Duo immediately rejected him decisively, and Xia Duo's actions did not arouse the resentment of the mages present. Everyone knew that Kaili had become an official mage for less than a year.

Not everyone can become an intermediate mage (level 6) in just over a year like Xia Duo. (Counting the projection plane in the early three years)

Everyone just took Carey's episode as a joke, and the familiar laughter passed away, and everyone continued to communicate.

……

The banquet was not very good, but the exchange meeting was a great success.

Xia Duo has gained a lot just from the exchange meeting of elementary mages. If he can join the exchange meeting of intermediate mages, he should gain even more!
It's just that he is a little worried about letting other mid-level mages host it, so he can only come by himself. Fortunately, he is the acting tower owner now, and it is very convenient to hold an exchange meeting.

Doing so can not only save the energy expenditure of the Tower of Time, but also gain a lot for the individual.

Do it a few more times, maybe it can change the atmosphere in the Tower of Time!
Xia Duo was looking forward to the future where the Tower of Time would be full of academic atmosphere, when a figure suddenly flew out from the side and flew to the south.

It's Master Warren!
The external director of the Tower of Time, one of the mages currently resident in Savile Town.

Is something wrong in town?Or is he in a hurry?

Xia Duo turned his head to look at the intermediate-level mage exchange meeting. A dozen intermediate-level mages had already stood up, and only Eboke was still sitting. When Xia Duo looked over, he also looked at him at the same time, and sent a message:
"A spellcaster has teleported in from outside the town! If the Tower of Time is still here, it can block the other party's teleportation. Now we can only find this step."

If it is an enemy, there are almost no restrictions on teleportation and teleportation, even if they know it, there is no way to stop it.

At this moment, Xia Duo was full of greed for the arcanist named Aquiline, he could detect teleportation by himself, and he could also delay teleportation.

If it's a magic weapon, it's also portable; if it's magic, that's even better. With this kind of magic, you don't have to worry about being teleported.

"Warren sent a message that the teleportation landed at the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, it should be Aquiline!" Abeck sent a message.

"Aquiline?!"

Xia Duo was a little surprised. He just thought of Aquiline, but unexpectedly, the other party came to his door. This may be the best opportunity to enforce the law!

However, considering that the two days hadn't arrived yet, Xia Duo forcibly held back.

Moreover, it is not convenient to do it in Savile Town. One is worried about destroying the town, and the other is that the Tower of Time is at least 20 miles away.

The consumption of guiding spells is far more than that of doing it near the ruins of the mythos. He is a little worried whether the tower of time will "extinguish" on the way.

At this time, Eberke, who knew it was Aquiline, couldn't sit still anymore, and also flew out.

Xia Duo stayed behind to appease everyone.

　Thanks to the book friend [I really don’t know what it’s called] for the 1000 reward! !
