Chapter 1315 Successive Promotions and Introduction to Hometown

After being promoted, Donald will have all the permissions and treatment of an official mage in the Tower of Time. With his relationship with Shado, he can set up his own private research laboratory like Tilak, and receive strong support from the Tower of Time. .

However, it was obvious that Donald preferred to stay in Tilak Research Laboratory, and in subsequent conversations with Shado and Depak, he did not reveal any intention to set up a private laboratory.

…

After Donald, there is an apprentice named "Marcy". Shado also has an impression of him. He is someone he has known since his apprenticeship, but the relationship is not as close as Dean, Sammy or even Donald.

Like Donald, this Marcy apprentice also chose to show his spellcasting level in the form of [Level Promotion Trial] and successfully obtained promotion.

After that, several people in a row were apprentices that Sha Duo had known before. There was no need to guess. Depak definitely gave priority to the batch of apprentices who were at the same time or similar to Sha Duo.

Xia Duo was not dissatisfied with this. In fact, he also wanted to see how the once-familiar faces were doing now.

What makes Xia Duo gratified is that the concept of entering the academy has been accepted by most people. These apprentices who applied for promotion may have happened suddenly, but most of them still chose to use the [Level Promotion Trial] as a way to show themselves. Ways of casting levels.

There are only a few people who are unable to complete the [Level Upgrade Trial] and can only use a simple 1st level spell to deal with the problem.

Of course, since Xia Duo had said hello in advance, Depak still completed the promotion process for those people based on the previous promotion standards of the Tower of Time.

Xia Duo, who originally wanted to persuade him, was silent. Before, he only thought that most of the people who applied for promotion were taking shortcuts to get promoted, so he wanted to persuade him.

Just like "the law does not punish everyone", when everyone unanimously wants to take shortcuts, even Xia Duo has to make a compromise.

But fortunately, the current situation is not what he expected. Only a few people chose to take shortcuts, so there is no need for him to advise. Some things, once they are done, they have to bear the consequences themselves.

Just like what he and Master Jose said, those who are promoted for the sake of promotion are more likely to go back and complete the apprenticeship course after completing the promotion. The foundation that is missing now will definitely take a lot of effort to make up for in the future.

Since there are good models, there should naturally be bad models as well.

Xia Duo is looking forward to the future performance of those people. If you are really capable, just slap reality in the face!

…

A total of 46 people were promoted. Xia Duo watched with gusto, but Niya was a little impatient. It was only because Xia Duo was here that she did not leave on the spot.

But after the two left the Human Resources Department, she couldn't help but complain, "What's so good about apprentice promotion? Isn't it just that more people are promoted at one time? Didn't you predict that before?"

"Of course I had expectations, but this promotion is different from the past. I want to know whether the promotion assessment is accepted by most people, and the development status of the concept of entering the academy among apprentices in the past. Now it seems that maybe not everyone is willing to accept it. There is a new promotion assessment, but at least the vast majority of people agree with the concept of entering the academy.”

"The ring promotion trial? Is it really that important?" Niya asked doubtfully.

"Of course it is important, and it is not just the promotion trial, but also a looser, more open, and more inclusive academic atmosphere. This will give magic the soil to thrive. Although it is not obvious now, it will benefit from it in the future. many."

After thinking about it, Sha Duo excluded some sensitive information and selectively introduced some situations of the Arcane Empire in the projection plane to Niya.

Niya was shocked after hearing this, especially when she heard that the Arcane Empire might be another development state of Netheril, she was stunned for almost ten seconds.

"Are you saying that if we go to war with the elves, it might develop like that in the future?" Niya asked in a daze.

After asking, he seemed to be still immersed in the scene of the Arcane Empire described by Sha Duo, and muttered to himself: "That's too cruel."

"uncertain."

Xia Duo shook his head, "With the influence of gods on the main plane, I can't predict what will happen, but what I can be sure of is -

"Although the development of the Arcane Empire is somewhat deformed, in many aspects it can already be regarded as the development direction, or template, of future magical civilization and has very important reference value."

"Is it because of your hometown?" Niya suddenly flashed her big bright eyes and stared at Xia Duo.

Although she heard descriptions of her hometown from Xia Duo many times, her understanding of Xia Duo's hometown was still very limited. She only knew that it was a highly developed magical civilization.

This is also an important reason why she has always relied on Xia Duo in many things.

"Can you tell me more about your hometown?"

"sure."

In fact, Xia Duo doesn't care much about revealing more information about his hometown now. After all, many of the things he does are without reason, at least in the eyes of the locals in Nese.

As long as it does not involve specific technical details and translates science into magic, there will be no problem at all. On the contrary, it can increase its own mysterious attributes and gain invisible prestige and blessing.

This time, Xia Duo described all aspects of his hometown in more detail than usual, such as economy, culture, politics, and military. The most important thing is that he revealed a key piece of information that he had not provided in the past -

The population of my hometown is as high as 1.4 billion!

Hearing this number, Niya showed an even more exaggerated expression of shock than when she heard Sha Duo introduce the Arcane Empire before, "1.4 billion?!"

What a population that is!

Calculated based on the current population of Savil Territory of about 50,000, it is almost equivalent to 28,000 Savil Territory; and based on the current population of Netheril of nearly 4 million, it is almost equivalent to 350 Netheril.

Such a huge and necessarily very complex society was far beyond Niya's imagination. She stared at Xia Duo blankly, speechless for a long time.

After a long time, he suddenly said, "No wonder you are so persistent. As for the population of the territory, it turns out there are so many people in your hometown!"

Then he asked: "How many great arcanists are there in your hometown?"

How to answer this?

Xia Duo scratched his head and said that it must be zero, but if it was a comparison, it would be too much. "I don't know the specific data, but it must be at least tens of millions!"

"Ten million? Grand Arcanist?"

Fortunately, there had been preparations for a population of 1.4 billion, and she had heard Sha Duo talk about the magic education in her hometown before. Now when she heard this data again, Niya was surprisingly calm.

She did not doubt that Xia Duo was deliberately exaggerating. After all, no matter how exaggerated it was, it would be difficult for ordinary people to describe the many details of a huge society with a population of 1.4 billion.

But it was still hard for her to imagine what a prosperous world it was!
