Finally sent away a boatload of people. That kind of occasion where there are many people and it doesn't belong to your own interests, it is really uncomfortable to stay for a minute or a second.

The two apprentices were cleaning up the mess in the tower, and Lin had just finished a simple dinner and sat back in front of the console, blankly groping, not knowing what to do.

Things have been interrupted, emotions are incoherent, and Lin is in a trance. It's still raining outside, and according to the astrologers' climate forecasts, this rain will last for more than ten days, so naturally it is impossible to observe the starry sky. In addition, the drawing of the plane star map has also been completed to a certain extent. The next step is to determine the relative positions of the stars in the universe, which is not something that can be done by simply stargazing.

The idle tower master was trying to remember where he had done his original research, when the mercury mirror energy pool suddenly changed, and President Orange Eaton reappeared......

This time, there is no embarrassing thing to bump into by someone, but for this old man's bad habits, Lin hates it so much. Don't put aside your scruples, really make something like instant messaging or QQ, so that the big fear that you can't read back will also come to the world of the lost land.

"Grow up." Hate to hate, Lin still stood up respectfully and greeted.

"Lord Tripwood. This time, thanks to Your Excellency. Those three showed up at the same time, and honestly I couldn't resist it. It's best to have a happy ending. ”

Lin Ke deeply agreed with the president's words. If the other party comes hard, just hit back; If you can't win, admit it. But the other party is soft, it's really not easy to stick to his opinion, and the three presidents come together. That big battle almost didn't scare Lin.

The president continued: "The most important thing to contact you is to learn more about the integration of the malls in the four districts. Because there were a lot of people before, it was inconvenient for me to ask in detail. That's why I took advantage of this free time to bother you. ”

Old man, if you are free, I may not be free. Lin, who wanted to answer like this, actually said his thoughts obediently. In fact, it is not difficult to think, but to think about some functions that will bring convenience to you as a user of the mall; Then I turned to the system designer and thought about how to implement this function.

But what I can mention is the system thing. The handling of specific affairs must be coordinated and integrated within the Chamber of Commerce. It's too busy, but it's annoying. It's just that these bosses don't be so sympathetic to employees.

Just after the discussion came to an end, seeing the president's personality and closing the video contact, Lin decided to say what he had been thinking about for a long time. "President Eton, as for the other three districts, I will be paid in the end."

"Oh, that money will send your portion to the Great Sage's Tower as soon as they send it. Or if you have an urgent need, I can also call on the funds of this association first. ”

"It's not urgent, President. I have an idea about the money, and I don't know if I can ask the president to help. ”

"Well, please."

"I wonder if the president remembers Charlie Richard the Wizard?"

"I remember that Richard had been dead for several years. Could it be that you are too? ”

"Yes, my mentor is the Wizard Charlie Richard. In the last years of the teacher's life, he was lucky enough to be one of his apprentices. Later, although my teacher died of illness, I had not yet become an official magician, and it was thanks to the president's apprenticeship training policy that I succeeded in getting to where I am today. ”

Charlie Richard can be said to be a special figure in the Sicca district. Lin uses the words from Earth that this is a man with the character of the Virgin. In Confucius's 'teaching without class, teaching according to aptitude', he did the first four words. This is a very rare behavior in the world of Mada.

Many apprentices with low talent who were not willing to be mentored by a magician were given the opportunity to learn from Ricchak's side. Because of this, he has a large number of apprentices, and the resources that each person can share are scarce, but it is better than not getting any opportunities.

I just crossed to the forest of the lost land, if I hadn't met such a virgin, I am afraid that it would have been cold a long time ago. Although a few years later, the old man passed away due to age and illness. But the traversers who have stepped into the magical world have relied on their own understanding and hard work, as well as doing work that others are afraid of, to overcome obstacles and get to where they are today.

Charlie Richard had no children, and his only wife died a few years before him. Such an old man has spent his life collecting as many resources as possible for the apprentices, answering everyone's doubts about knowledge, and then completing this life alone and burying him in the loess.

And his behavior, which was criticized as stupid, certainly has no successor. Or it should be said that no one has learned from his practice and practiced it, but no one has been as loving as he is, and has given his all.

When it comes to his mentor, Lin certainly wants to take advantage of the moment when he has spare energy to do something. He said: "I want to use the part of the remuneration given to me by the other three districts to set up a Richards fund. ”

Richard ...... Funds? "The name is understandable, but the word 'fund' at the end is puzzling to Orange Fruit Eaton.

"The fund can be thought of as a separate fund account with an independent and regulated purpose and no diversion for other purposes. The original idea of this money actually came from the rescue of villages in remote areas by the adventurer's guild. Before the forum, when the village was attacked by hordes of demonic beasts, or invaded and plundered by uncivilized Homo sapiens, the news of the call for help often spread, and by the time the people sent arrived, the village had been wiped out. With the forum, the situation has improved. But not all villages in remote areas can have a magic stone that can open the forum system, let alone know how to use it. ”

"What does the tower master think?"

"The association took the lead in popularizing the magic stone of the forum to every village and town. But doing this simply allows ordinary people to have a channel for quick help, and it is not in line with the principle of maximizing profits. And I thought of Mr. Richard's wish, and I thought that maybe we could publish the introductory learning method of magic apprentices on the forum, and let the villagers learn it. If someone can get started by self-education, I believe that the wizarding world will also open its doors to accept such talents. ”

You must know that the biggest enemy that magicians face in terms of inheritance is not the rejection of secular nobles, but the competition for talents from various gods and churches.

People with magical talents are one out of a thousand, and there are good and bad in them, but they are always talented. In addition, people who do not even have the qualifications to touch the magical world will of course find it difficult to step into the magical world.

And the Church of the Gods is completely different. Those who have the gift of magic will be able to perform magical arts; If you are pious enough, you can also get God-given magic several times a day; No magical talent, can train to become an apologetic warrior; Even if you are really civil and military, you can also farm or donate money for the church.

It can be said that the Church of God can make the best use of all kinds of people. Therefore, they will be more active in reaching out to ordinary people, and there are more people in contact, and of course there are relatively more people who will have magical talents, but they are all absorbed into the church.

As a result, secular aristocrats are more disgusted with ecclesiastical power than wizards. The same goes for magicians, because they are gifted with people who join the Church, they may also study magic, but they can't be counted in the magic system after all.

In order to fight against the Church's talent grab, the Wizards' Guild has long been on the lucrative task of discovering apprentices. Unfortunately, you have to find someone who has a talent for magic and is willing to join the wizarding world in order to be rewarded. If you can't find such a person, then no matter how much the magician you are looking for pays for, you will still be doing free work.

Therefore, most of the magicians are not very active in the task of discovering talents. And the biggest source of new apprentices is mostly wealthy businessmen with ideas, or families who have passed on magic for a long time.

Lin's proposal is undoubtedly a new way to discover talents. Orange Fruit Eaton's eyes lit up as he listened. Lin continued: "To be able to distribute the Forum Magic Stone to every village and teach how to use it, it takes manpower. Bringing back people who can teach themselves how to get started with magic will also need manpower. I know a lot of new mages who aren't used to combat-type missions. But if you can get paid for this kind of work of imparting knowledge, or bringing back apprentices, I believe that many people will be willing to do it. And this remuneration is provided by the Richarder Fund. ”

Orange Fruit Eaton was excited to hear this, but Lin did not stop, but continued to talk about his thoughts. "When these apprentices are gathered in the headquarters, maybe not all of them will be taken in by the magician. Then those people can be centrally managed, and regular official magicians can be invited to give them lectures and guidance, as well as answer questions. Just like what Charlie Richard did in the past. It's just that the magician who teaches doesn't need to be fixed, and he doesn't need to take all the remaining apprentices as his own students. It's like a mission issued by the association, and he just comes for payment. Of course, the costs of this are also covered by the Richards Fund. As for the management of these apprentices, and the resources provided, I think it should be reasonable to compare the practice of Mr. Richard. ”

It sounds like a bright future, but Orange Fruit Eaton is not a young man who can quench his hunger by painting bread. He immediately thought of a question, rubbed his beard, and said, "This kind of plan is very good. But on the mall system in the other three districts, although the remuneration that belongs to you is a lot, it will always be used up one day. Have you ever thought about such a question? ”

"Yes, I know that. So I'm willing to put a share of the sales of browsers into the Richards Fund. And this fund will also accept donations from others. But in the accounts, income and expenditure must be disclosed and detailed. It's just that to achieve this level, there must be people or organizations who manage the fund. Of course, these people will be paid for their efforts, just as they will be paid out of the fund. ”

"It sounds like you're quite mature in your thinking. So what do you hope the association can help you? ”
