In fact, if you think about it, the situation that Elise said is almost certain to happen.

The Sage prophesied that the Golden Scroll was the key to the revival of the Empire, and the Grand Arcanist above would certainly be cautious about this, and it would make sense to block the news for the future if there was no guarantee that they would be able to obtain it.

If Xia Duo was the decision-maker above, he would have made such a choice. It's just that in this way, even if it is impossible for him to obtain a private version of the color-resistant scroll from this projection plane!

"Ahh

What else can Xia Duo say!

……

After returning to the laboratory, Xia Duo suddenly thought that the Judgment Division was going to send Elise to recruit people on the spot, so what about the number of ready-made apprentices on the research institute?

Obviously, there are a lot of new laboratories in the institute this year, and a large number of apprentices are needed (assigned on a laboratory basis), but the number of graduates at the academy every year is relatively stable.

Although it is also growing slowly, it is certainly not as good as the sudden arrival of the research institute.

The trial department has received the news and sent people to recruit people on the spot, if the research institute is lagging behind, the gap is not one or two points, especially those outstanding graduates who are in the front, maybe they can't catch any of them.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo suddenly had some bad premonitions, his own laboratory was full of twelve apprentices, but his cooperative laboratory did not have any yet, just waiting for this year's allocation!

Fortunately, Elise called him, otherwise, Xia Duo would not have realized that time had unknowingly come to graduation season.

So, he hurriedly contacted the more than a dozen collaborators and informed them to go to various academies to grab people, and they could borrow their own names if necessary.

"Got it, I'll go right away."

The first to reply was Rhodes, and after him, the replies from the others also came quickly, without exception, all of them were messages of immediate departure.

While mentoring apprentices does have an impact on the lab's projects to a certain extent, with an apprentice, not only can they be used as spell batteries to increase the number of experiments per day, but they can also be used to do chores.

They are called "apprentices", but they are at least academy-educated low-cost mages, and they can join the normal operation of the laboratory with just a little run-in.

Overall, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for the progress of the project.

……

In the evening, Xia Duo received a summons from Rhodes, "We just came back from the academy, there are two news, one good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" ”

As soon as he heard the bad news, Xia Duo knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly came out of the lounge, and in the hall, Rhodes and others were already making a noise.

Seeing Xia Duo come out, everyone immediately quieted down, and Rhodes separated everyone and came to Xia Duo, but Xia Duo didn't see any lost expression on his face, but hung a smile.

"Rhodes, Rhodes, I didn't expect you to learn badly, let's talk about it, what is the good news, and what is the good news?"

"Let's talk about the bad news first, we're late, and the base is almost done with people!"

Xia Duo raised his eyebrows, he knew that the base that Rhodes was talking about was the Inquisition Division, which included the field department, production, planting, tending, and even the academy itself, which were the majority of the admissions in previous years.

In previous years, the institute only pulled out the best of the best, but this year it was late, and I don't know what to dig melons and crack dates!

Don't even be a full-fledged mage, that's hilarious.

However, looking at Rhodes like this, things seem to have taken another turn, but Xia Duo didn't break it, and deliberately pretended to be a little worried and asked, "What about the good news?" ”

"Good news—"

Rhodes also deliberately sold the pass, but the others couldn't help it anymore and helped him out, "The good news is that Dean Bernie has long expected all of this and booked a group of people in advance, although there are fewer than in previous years, but now all those people have joined our laboratory!" ”

When he first heard that Dean Bernie had made a reservation in advance, Xia Duo didn't feel much surprised, and gathered the best talents to conduct research, which was already the common understanding of the remnants of the empire.

He estimated that even if Dean Bernie didn't book in advance, the academy would keep people for the institute in advance, but now that a large number of new laboratories suddenly appeared in the institute, there were still not enough people for everyone.

But when he heard the last sentence "all the people have joined their laboratory", there was only one word that came to Xia Duo's mind - "eat alone"!

The people who were supposed to be divided equally among all the new labs were all put into the dozen or so labs of Rhodes and Huck. (If there are apprentices promoted in other laboratories, the vacant places also need to be filled, but more will not be taken)

No wonder I didn't see any look of loss on their faces.

It's just that eating alone is easy to provoke the anger of the public, but Xia Duo himself doesn't care, he is afraid that Rhodes and Huck will not be able to eat, so he asked again:

"Have you been in contact with Vice Dean Samuel about this? What did he say? ”

"After contacting, Vice Dean Samuel said that as long as we arrived first, we would get it first, which was acquiesced by Dean Bernie. We don't need to do anything in the future, he said, he will help us deal with it. ”

"That's it!"

Xia Duo was silent for a moment, knowing that Vice Dean Samuel was courting him, and Dean Bernie should also have the intention of promoting, and even this could be a reward.

In recognition of his contribution to the improvement of the Institute's culture.

"In that case, then you can take it and do some research in the future."

That being said, Chardo has decided to visit Dean Bernie and Vice Dean Samuel in person tomorrow, as well as the management center.

In the past six months, he has been mainly promoting his own research plan in the laboratory cooperation system, and he has not accepted any of the project tenders posted on it, except for a few that can complement his own plan.

In return, perhaps more projects should be taken on by the above.

Even if it has nothing to do with his research plan for the time being, returning to the main plane can also be used as the accumulation of the Tower of Time, in short, it is not a loss.

……

The next day, instead of visiting the second floor early in the morning, Xia Duo waited until lunchtime to leave, and as soon as he got there, he knew that he had chosen the right time to come.

Because he's seen seven or eight Level 1 researchers, who might have come to complain.

For these people, Xia Duo didn't have a good face, and of course he didn't have a bad face, and when he passed by them, he treated them as air and didn't even look at them.

When they arrived at Dean Bernie's No. 2 laboratory, eight or nine people were crammed into the not-so-small reception room, and the atmosphere was rather strange, but so far, those few people have not made any particularly unfriendly actions.

At most, he cursed a few words in a low voice, and Xia Duo didn't hear it, the more you care about this kind of person, the more proud they are, but the more you don't care, the more sad they are.

It wasn't until the dean's assistant came out and invited Xia Duo to a nearby lounge that the faces of the seven or eight Level 1 researchers were wonderful.

Even two of them couldn't stand this blow and left the reception room on the spot, as for where they were going, Xia Duo naturally couldn't care.

Because by now, he had seen Dean Bernie again.
