Looking at the projection screen in the hall on the first floor, Xia Duo's face was calm, and he turned to look at the other projection screens, except for those who were in class, the rest of the apprentices were quietly discussing the sudden change in the Tower of Time even if they were working.

Seeing that people continue to regain hope in magic, Xia Duo finally showed a satisfied expression, the Tower of Time in the past was too harsh on apprentices, even if it was to "cut leeks", they had to wait for leeks to grow up before they could cut more!

However, Chador's emphasis on training apprentices is not for the sake of cutting leeks, but for development and win-win!

Selfishness does exist, but it does not harm the interests of these apprentices, on the contrary, these apprentices will change their fate and have a broader future because of Xia Duo's decision.

After watching all the projection screens, except for a few pictures involving middle-level mages being obscured by spells, most of the feedback from the members of the Tower of Time has already been seen by Xia Duo.

It's not much different from what he expected, and it's still under control.

……

"Taling, did anyone leave me a message?" Xia Duo asked suddenly.

At the morning group meeting, he said that people who wanted to work in the newly established Audit Office, the Apprenticeship Management Office, could contact him, and several hours have passed now.

If anyone really wants to join a new department, it should have already been decided.

"Acting Shado, there is a message for someone."

"Who?"

"Mage Jose."

Jose?

The image of a kind, slightly chubby middle-aged man appeared in Xia Duo's mind, it was Master Jose, Xia Duo knew him when he was an apprentice, and he had dealt with him a few times, but Xia Duo was still an apprentice at that time, and he could only stay away from Master Jose's kindness.

Later, after he became an official mage, the intersection between the two increased, and the relationship was not bad, only a little farther than Dean and others, who had been acquainted with Xia Duo in the apprenticeship stage.

Jose wants to join a new department?

"Tarling, what's José's message?"

Hearing the order, Taling immediately sent Jose's language message, and Xia Duo suddenly realized, "Sure enough, I want to enter the apprenticeship management office, no wonder!" ”

His first acquaintance with José was when he exchanged the study scroll at the Supplies Management Office, when Jose specifically reminded him not to indulge too much in the effects of spells, but to understand the principles of them.

In the next few chance encounters, Xia Duo also noticed that the other party was reminding the apprentice in various ways, and there was a bit of "good teacher" in it.

Now it is not surprising to see that he wants to enter the apprenticeship management office.

It's just that Xia Duo has a plan for the candidates for the new department, and the meeting said that he can contact him, but in fact, he is just testing everyone's attitude towards transformation.

For Jose, Chado decided to place him in the apprenticeship management office, although it was unplanned, but there were so many apprentices, and Chado didn't care about having another teacher.

……

After reading the message, Xia Duo began to continue to sort out the list of previously unfinished exemption books, which needs to be completed as soon as possible, but the subsequent adjustment of the content of the books does not need to be done by him personally, and it can be handed over to the members of the society, he only needs to complete the final review.

Until the evening, after several deletions, deletions, and corrections, Xia Duo transferred the list to the Society, and then he checked the messages again, and found that in addition to Jose at the beginning, there were two or three more mages who left messages one after another.

They all wanted to work in the apprenticeship management office, and Xia Duo was also ready to put them in the apprenticeship management office in the same way he had handled Jose before.

However, no one chose the audit office, which surprised Xia Duo, this is a real power department, and sometimes the tower is backed by, are you still afraid of retaliation from those middle-level mages?

However, the lack of registration also saved Xia Duo a lot of trouble, and his original plan was to find a few arithmetic stewards from the Hans and Slevin chambers of commerce to be responsible for handling the affairs of the audit office.

Let professional people do professional things, which is Xia Duo's consistent employment philosophy.

But letting formal mages work under ordinary people is still a bit too advanced for the current Tower of Time.

……

After dinner, Xia Duo received an invitation from Nia to conduct the first bridging experiment of the [Felder Spellbook Cracking Project], and in the previous more than a month of communication, the two had a full understanding of the Felder Spell Book.

And formulated a detailed cracking plan, but because the experiment had to be operated on the spot, it was very inconvenient for the two to live separately, so it has been delayed until now.

Chardo was looking forward to Felder's spellbook, and after receiving Nia's invitation, he did not choose to walk, but directly asked Taling to teleport him to Nia's private laboratory.

At this moment, the alchemy circle on the brightly lit and spacious laboratory table in the laboratory had been activated, and when Xia Duo arrived, Nia was making the Mithril building blocks needed for the bridging experiment.

Seeing Nia's serious and focused appearance, Xia Duo smiled and said, "Why is it suddenly necessary to carry out a bridging experiment, I thought you would return to Severington!" ”

“……”

Hearing the familiar voices around her, and thinking of what the two uncles had said at Cecily's house at noon, Nia's heart suddenly went upset, and the Mithril component that was originally taking shape instantly dispersed into a drop of Mithril liquid.

Fortunately, this level of repetition did not affect the quality of Mithril, and Nia settled down and returned to a state of concentration, deaf to Xia Duo's voice.

On the other hand, Xia Duo did not notice Nia's mistake, and he took out the lead box containing the spell book from the dimensional bag at the other end of the "Tsumi" type test table, and then opened it carefully.

A pale yellow spell book was lying quietly inside, with the cover written in color-resistant and elven scripts - "Felder's Arcane Staff".

That's the main character tonight.

Shado glanced at Nia, and seeing that she hadn't finished making the Mithril building block, she began to set up for the next bridging experiment—

A small wooden stand was removed from the dimensional pouch and placed on the test bench, and then Xodor took Felder's spell book out of the lead box and embedded it in the wooden stand.

It's like it's hanging in the air.

After that, Xia Duo kept adding more wooden structures around the seemingly dangling spell book, a bit like the scaffolding when building a building on Earth.

In fact, these wooden structures are actually "scaffolding".

Bridging experiments require the destruction of the spellbook's physical form, but at the same time, it is necessary to maintain the integrity of the spellbook's functionality in order to avoid triggering the spellbook's protection mechanism.

The so-called "bridging" is actually the replacement of the destroyed physical form of the spell book with an external Mithril component.

And the process of bridging is actually the process of cracking -

When a certain part is replaced by an external Mithril component, the resulting reaction contains this part of the information, whether it is equivalent or not, it is considered an information leak.

It's just that only the equivalent substitution can be regarded as a real crack, and if it is not equivalent, it means that part of the information is permanently lost.

It's actually similar to how programmers on Earth crack software source code.

All Shado and Nia have to do is keep partially decompiling the spell book until all the elements are solved.

As for the elements higher than the 5 ring level, it is to use the ascending ring principle in the spell principle for reverse analysis, and this part, neither Xia Duo nor Niya is absolutely sure.

In short, cracking spell books, or cracking magic items, not only has the difficulty of principle and operation, but also a system project with a lot of work.
