After the promotion, Donald will have all the privileges and benefits of a full-fledged mage in the Tower of Time, and with his relationship with Xodor, he can set up his own private research room like Tirac and receive the strong support of the Tower of Time.

However, it is clear that Donald prefers to stay in the Tirac laboratory, and in his subsequent conversations with Chado and DePark, he did not show any desire to set up a private laboratory.

……

After Donald, there is an apprentice named "Marcy", and Shado also has an impression of him, who he has known since his apprenticeship, but the relationship is not as close as Dean, Sammy, or even Donald.

"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"

Like Donald, the Marcy Apprentice chose to reveal his casting level in the form of a Ascending Ring Trial, and was successfully promoted.

After that, several people in a row were apprentices that Xia Duo once knew, and there was no need to guess, De Parker definitely gave priority to the batch of apprentices who were at or near the same time as Xia Duo.

Xia Duo is not dissatisfied with this, in fact, he is also very similar to see how the once familiar faces are developing now.

What makes Xia Duo feel relieved is that the concept of entering the academy has been accepted by most people, and this batch of apprentices who applied for promotion may have happened suddenly, but most of them still chose to use [Ascension Ring Trial] as a way to show their casting level.

Only a few people were unable to complete the [Ascending Ring Trial], and only used a simple 1-ring spell to deal with the matter.

Of course, due to Xia Duo's greeting in advance, DeParker still completed the promotion process for those people according to the previous promotion criteria of the Tower of Time.

And Xia Duo, who originally wanted to persuade him, did not move, and he only thought that most of the people who applied for promotion in this group were promoted by surprise, so he had the heart to persuade him.

It's like "the law doesn't blame the public", when everyone unanimously wants to take a shortcut, even Xia Duo has to make compromises.

But fortunately, the current situation is not what he expected, only a few people choose to take shortcuts, then he doesn't need to persuade anything, some things, since they have been done, they have to bear the consequences.

Just like he said to Master Jose, those who are promoted for the sake of promotion will have to go back to complete the apprenticeship after completing the promotion, and the foundation that is missing now will definitely take a lot of work to make up for in the future.

Since there are good examples, there should also be bad examples.

Xia Duo is looking forward to the future performance of those people, if you really have the ability, just slap the face with reality!

……

A total of 46 people were promoted, and Xia Duo watched it with relish, but Niya was a little impatient, and it was only because Xia Duo was here that she didn't leave on the spot.

But after the two left the personnel department, she still couldn't help but complain, "What's so nice about the promotion of apprentices, isn't it just that there are more people promoted at one time?" Didn't you anticipate it before? ”

"Of course, there were predictions, but this promotion is different, and I want to know if the promotion assessment is acceptable to the majority of people, and how the past philosophy of the academy has developed in the apprenticeship. Now it seems that not everyone is willing to accept the new promotion assessment, but at least the vast majority of people agree with the concept of entering the academy. ”

"Ascension Ring Trial? Is it really that important? Nia asked, confused.

"Of course it's important, and it's not just the Ascension Trial, but also a more relaxed, open, and inclusive academic atmosphere, which will give magic a strong place to grow, and although it's not obvious now, it will benefit a lot in the future."

After thinking about it, Xia Duo excluded some sensitive information and selectively introduced some information about the Arcane Empire on the projection plane to Nia.

Nia was shocked to hear this, especially when she heard that the Arcane Empire might be another state of development for Nessreel, and she was almost stunned for more than ten seconds.

"You're saying that if we go to war with the elves, the future could be like that?" Nia asked, stunned.

After asking, he seemed to be immersed in the Arcane Empire scene described by Xia Duo, and muttered to himself, "That's too cruel." ”

"Not necessarily."

Xia Duo shook his head, "The main plane has the influence of the gods, and I can't predict what will happen, but I can be sure-

"Although the development of the Arcane Empire is somewhat deformed, in many aspects, it can already be used as the development direction of the future magical civilization, or a template, and has very important reference value."

"Is it because of your hometown?" Nya's big bright eyes flashed and stared at Xia Duo.

Although she has heard many descriptions of her hometown from Xia Duo, her knowledge of Xia Duo's hometown is still very limited, and she only knows that it is a highly developed magical civilization.

This is also an important reason why she has always relied on Xia Duo for many things.

"Can you tell me more about your hometown?"

"Absolutely."

In fact, Xia Duo doesn't care too much about revealing more information related to his hometown now, after all, many of the things he does are for no reason, at least in the eyes of the locals.

As long as you don't involve specific technical details and translate science into magic, then there is no problem at all, but it can increase your own mystical attributes and gain intangible prestige blessings.

This time, Chateau described all aspects of his hometown in more detail than usual, such as the economy, culture, politics, military, and most importantly, he revealed a key piece of information that had not been provided in the past.

The population of my hometown is as high as 1.4 billion!

Hearing this number, Nia showed an even more exaggerated expression of shock than when she heard Xia Duo introduce the Arcane Empire before, "1.4 billion?!" ”

That's a lot of people!

Based on the current population of about 50,000 in the Savile Territory, it is almost 28,000 Savile Territory; Based on the current population of nearly 4 million Nesseril, it is almost equivalent to 350 Nessreel.

Such a large and necessarily complex society was far beyond Nia's imagination, and she looked at Xia Duo in a daze, speechless for a long time.

After a long time, he said coldly, "No wonder you are so obsessed with the number of people in your territory, it turns out that there are so many people in your hometown!" ”

Then he asked, "And how many great arcanists are there in your hometown?" ”

How can this be answered?

Xia Duo scratched his head and said that it must be zero, but if it is a comparison, it will be more, "I don't know the specific data, but at least it is counted in tens of millions!" ”

"Ten million? Grand Arcanist? ”

Fortunately, there was already a foreshadowing of 1.4 billion people before, and I had heard Xia Duo talk about the magic education in his hometown before, and now when she heard this data again, Niya was surprisingly calm.

She did not suspect that Xia Duo was deliberately exaggerating, after all, no matter how exaggerated, it would be difficult for ordinary people to describe many details of a huge society with a population of up to 1.4 billion.

But it's still hard for her to imagine what a prosperous world it is!
