In the past six months, he had accumulated a stack of parchment papers almost half a person high, and although the amount seemed like a lot, Xia Duo was not impatient in the slightest.

Because the material subsidy application submitted by these private laboratories includes the experimental process, the number of times, and the consumption of materials on a specific topic.

Looking at these documents, Xia Duo seemed to see the exploration process of researchers in these topics, and there were many bright spots, which made him, a senior arcanist, quite fruitful.

But some, it is obviously perfunctory, game, deception and the like, Xia Duo shook his head again and again.

……

More than half an hour passed, Xia Duo finally read all the subsidy application documents in the past six months, and he did not study the numbers carefully, maybe there will be more applications, concealment and consumption, but it is understandable.

After all, in a place as closely audited as the earth, there are also cases of surprise use of money, and it is not uncommon.

At present, there are no real mages in the audit office of the Tower of Time, and Xia Duo is not ready to pursue too much, but those research topics, research progress, and experimental processes have obvious problems, and they must be dealt with.

He handed over the nearly twenty problematic application papers that he had deliberately singled out to Director Wendell of the Audit Office, and then instructed:

"These three people, Master Sandur's 'Design of Quasi-Three-Ring Spells at the Level of 1 Ring', there are obvious loopholes in the principle of experimental design, and in view of the relatively complete experimental records, only their follow-up subsidies on this subject will be cancelled, and no other punishment will be imposed;

"Master Shande's 'Exploration of Magic Practice in Cooking' project has obviously been closed, but from November last year to now, I have been applying for material subsidies, and I have forwarded my opinions to the Personnel Department and the Material Department to investigate the whole matter and recover the subsidy materials for three months;

"In the end, there was a long-term serious discrepancy between Master David's 'Materialization Research on the Strings of the Magic Net' and the experimental process submitted by the project application report, and he was also transferred to the Personnel Department and the Materials Department for investigation, and all the subsidized materials were questioned."

"Yes!" Wendell replied respectfully.

Seeing this, Xia Duo was ready to leave, he had just read so many subsidy application papers, and he remembered one thing, and now it was time to arrange it.

"Your Excellency!"

Just as Xia Duo had already stepped out of the door of the audit office, he was stopped by Wendell's sudden voice, and he looked back to see that Wendell was talking and stopping.

"What else?" Shado asked.

“大人，时之塔私人研究室的补贴申请审查算是审计处最核心的业务，但我们终究是普通人，我担心今天这样的情况，今后还会继续发生。”

Wendell looked at the stewards who had come with him from the Savile Chamber of Commerce to the left and right, and his eyes were a little helpless.

Is this a complaint? Or is it a performance? Or are you asking for power?

It should be someone to ask for, but Xia Duo thought about it carefully, this problem is really difficult to solve!

The Audit Office is busy, and most of the new mages are leaders in the academy training mode, so it is somewhat inappropriate to waste it in the Audit Office.

Besides, those new mages are relatively young, and in Xia Duo's opinion, they are still underage! It is a good time to continue training and further education, rather than starting a formal job too early.

However, many middle-level mages in the Tower of Time are so old, if they don't have the confidence and ability to achieve high-level, it is better to take a back seat as soon as possible and take on more general duties, so that young people have more opportunities.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo thought of a solution, so he said to Wendell:

"I give you the authority to send an invitation to any of the existing mid-level mages in the Tower of Time, inviting them to join the audit office, of course, provided that they have basic audit skills, and I will let Depak and Cecily negotiate a not low post allowance, I hope you can choose someone properly!"

At this stage, if you want to let formal mages, especially mid-level mages, serve as general affairs for a long time, it is not possible to do it without allowances, but it is more cost-effective to give them a post allowance than to let them engage in private research laboratories to cheat funds.

At the same time, in order to prevent middle-level mages from coming to the audit office where there are only ordinary people, so that these ordinary people are not easy to do, Xia Duo also gave them a reassurance:

vertex

"You just have to do things according to the rules, as long as you are in the Tower of Time, you don't have to worry about any damage, even if you encounter an accident while leaving the Tower of Time, I will investigate to the end, and I will definitely not let the meritorious person shed blood and tears."

"Thank you for your care, Wendell will definitely do his duty and not let the Tower of Time lose a single bit!"

"Let's wait for the notice in a few days!"

With that, Chado left the Audit Office.

……

During his trip to the ruins of the Inosen Mage Tower, in addition to obtaining a vivid case in the plane realm - the ruins themselves and some of the [Plane Creation] research notes, the most important gain was the technology of replacing Mithril with miscellaneous crystals.

Although the conditions for the implementation of this technology are very harsh, it is feasible after all, and it is quite perfect compared to the [Plane Creation] that has no successful cases.

It's a pity that this kind of technology is somewhat frustrating for Xia Duo, who has already mastered the Mithril refining technique, and he has already chosen the plane field as his main research direction in the future, although he is quite interested in this technology, he is not ready to study it himself.

Just after reading those subsidy application papers in the audit office, Xia Duo thought of a successor who could continue to research this miscellaneous crystal to replace Mithril technology-

Theore!

This guy is one of the more characteristic people in the Tower of Time, and often does some weird gadgets, such as a small puppet that can say that it can move, a magic potion that can change the color of hair when people drink it, a ring with a special long-lasting effect, and so on.

What impressed Xia Duo the most was that once Theore turned himself into a puppy, but fortunately he turned back in the end, otherwise it would have been too tragic.

In the previous wave of mid-level mages embracing the new system and establishing a new type of private laboratory under the new system, Theore also naturally set up his own private laboratory, and also applied for a rather interesting new project.

Just now, Xia Duo saw that in his subsidy application essay, there is a detailed research process, the logic is clear, organized, and the most important thing is that he is very imaginative, which is commendable.

In the subsidy application paper called in last month, his project of "some research from orc shamanic metamorphosis to arcane magic transfiguration" has been completed.

In fact, the arcane magic version of [Transfiguration] has already been researched by him, and there are only some derivative application tests and optimizations left to be completed, if nothing else, it will be within one or two months.

Miscellaneous crystals replace Mithril research, and it is necessary to find someone who can be trusted, interested and capable of doing so, and Theore is undoubtedly such a person.
