Iolem is no stranger to the name Tower of Time, and is even quite familiar with it, since Savile was banished to the Atlas, he has sent people to the South every once in a while to learn about the dynamics of Savile's territory and the Tower of Time.

Over the years, he had also asked Broad to provide some necessary support and assistance to the Savile Territory, most recently two years ago when he publicly supported the Arcane Competition held by the Savile Territory.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

At that time, the Tower of Time was in serious decline, and without his support, holding such an arcane competition would only attract ridicule from the do-gooders and covetousness from the greedy.

But what he didn't expect was that only two years had passed, and the Tower of Time would make such a huge change!

After receiving Congenio's affirmative answer, Iolem looked at the young man who was still humble and respectful, and his heart suddenly ignited a sense of inquiry, and at the same time, he probably guessed why Congenio came to him.

At this time, Congenio had already explained to Iolem the origin of the Tower of Time and the approximate number of apprentices, and then he said to Shado:

"You continue to talk about how the Tower of Time organizes the teaching of so many apprentices, and how to solve the problem of various material consumption."

"Yes, Master!"

Then, Xia Duo briefly introduced the current academic teaching model of the Tower of Time -

"I divided the apprentices into three levels, the one who is receiving magic enlightenment is the level 1 apprentice, and after receiving the enlightenment, it is the level 2 apprentice, and the series of books you just saw is what the level 2 apprentice has to learn, and after all the learning, he is a level 3 apprentice, and then he will be promoted to a full-fledged mage.

"Compared with the past Tower of Time that allowed apprentices to exchange gold coins for knowledge, free-range facilities, or exploitation, today's Tower of Time has fully opened up the basic knowledge, and arranged fixed teaching staff to teach in different classes according to the learning progress.

"Although the knowledge and facilities are free, but in order to prevent the apprentices from losing their motivation, the Tower of Time and each apprentice have signed a three-year contract, if they can't become a full-fledged mage within three years, then they need to repay the training fees paid by the Tower of Time, although the amount is not much, only 1000 gold coins, but it is also a lot of pressure."

Speaking of this, Xia Duo paused slightly, giving the two Grand Arcanists a buffer time, three years to become an official mage is indeed a bit scary, originally he was still thinking about whether to say it.

But when Iolum came over, it was not difficult for him to guess that Congenio intended to match him with Iolum, and it was most likely related to these textbooks or the academy teaching model.

Therefore, he decided to release some dry goods.

Sure enough, when he said the contents of the three-year contract, the two Great Arcanists, who had already experienced the world, couldn't help but show shocked eyes.

In fact, it is also easy to understand that the reason for the three-year contract is to train the apprentice to become a full-fledged mage within three years.

The current apprentices of the Tower of Time are not deliberately selected, they are only selected by age, which means that other teenagers in other places, and even adults, may complete the apprenticeship process and become full-fledged mages within three years.

In other words, the Tower of Time is using its own practical actions to verify the feasibility of the Mage of the People.

What does the national mage mean, there is no need for Xia Duo to explain too much at all, the two great arcanists will naturally have their own judgment, that will be far beyond the development potential of the elves, as well as the war potential.

Of course, it is not so easy to truly achieve the long-term goal of universal mages, and the most critical of these is the consumption of materials.

Not to mention anything else, if you want to train apprentices in batches, you need at least a spell laboratory, so that apprentices can conduct various spell exercises or experiments in a relatively safe environment.

Mage itself is a very practical profession, if you don't even know how to cast spells, and you are not familiar with it, even if you know more theoretical knowledge, it is difficult to transform it into actual productivity (including combat effectiveness and many other aspects).

And how can the establishment and maintenance of the spell laboratory be achieved without a lot of resources!

Obviously, the two Grand Arcanists were also particularly concerned about this issue, so Xia Duo continued:

"It's really stressful to train so many apprentices at the same time, but I think it's stressful to be motivated.

"At present, the Tower of Time has achieved a leading market advantage in the field of magic item manufacturing, and is now using the proceeds of magic items to subsidize the cost of apprenticeship.

"And when this group of apprentices trained by the academy grows up, it will bring a stronger development impetus to the Tower of Time."

This is actually a snowball, and as long as it is done properly, the snowball will definitely get bigger and bigger.

After listening to Xia Duo's explanation, Iorham seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked, "Do you mean the magic web background communication magic weapon that has been very popular in Severton recently?" ”

"Yes, the cost of making a communication artifact in the Tower of Time is much lower than in the past, and this part of the income is barely enough to cover the cost of apprenticeship."

What the specific cost was, Xia Duo did not elaborate, and Iolem did not ask, just bowed his head slightly, thinking silently.

Not long ago, after completing the handover of the relevant work of the Austrian Federation with Congenio, Iolem received news that the price of the magic network background communication device in Severton had fluctuated abnormally, and it was suspected that there was a low-cost manufacturing technology, and some manufacturers shipped in large quantities.

After that, he arranged for someone to investigate the matter, and now think that there should be a result!

For a moment, there was silence in the study, and just when Xia Duo thought that he had made Iolum unhappy by what he had said, a teleportation light appeared in the study again.

A stack of parchment papers appeared in Iolum's hand, and at this moment Xia Duo and Iolum were standing, not far apart.

With Xia Duo's eyesight, he easily saw a line of text on the first page of the stack of parchment documents - "Investigation on the Continuous Decline in the Price of Magic Network Background Communication Instruments"

Isn't that the document he saw in the administrative office area when he came over?

And the next moment, Iolem handed over the investigation report in his hand, and Xia Duo took the report and quickly flipped through it, and suddenly there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

This report is very detailed, even so detailed that even the internal sales data of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce has been obtained, and it is also inferred that the Tower of Time must have mastered the technology of making magic items at a lower cost, but it will take time to crack it.

Xia Duo knew that it was necessary to register a patent for the "Eternal Magic Technology" as soon as possible!

It may not have been possible for the Tower of Time to withstand the impact of such a promising patent, but now it can.

Just like when Xia Duo launched the magic web background communication in order to snipe at the negotiation between Lord Hawke and the Arcane Federation on a new type of communication spell, he could only transfer it to the Gilles Tower, so as to avoid the sight of those who might be malicious when he was weak.

But now, as a senior arcanist, he can say that his information has definitely been placed on the tables of many lords and leaders of the mage tower organization.

No matter how low-key it is, it will have a negative impact.
