"Before today, the Tower of Time already had nearly 1,000 apprentices, and now it has to recruit 200 people, which undoubtedly puts great pressure on the internal space of the Tower of Time."

Nya's first consideration was the normal operation of the Tower of Time, the designers of the Tower of Time may never have imagined that there would be so many people in the Tower of Time today!

In this regard, Xia Duo said that he fully understands that the reason why the Tower of Time has adjusted its internal regulations many times before is largely because there are too many people.

The space problem mentioned by Niya is not the biggest problem, if it should be squeezed, the Tower of Time can still be stuffed with hundreds of people!

The biggest problem should be the energy problem!

The element pool of the Tower of Time may not have been designed with so many people in mind, and it is very difficult to transform and expand it later.

It touches on all sides, especially Taling.

The tower spirit is closely related to the state of the tower of time, and it doesn't matter if you make small changes to the internal auxiliary facilities, but once it comes to the transformation of the most core elemental pool, it will definitely affect the state of the tower spirit.

At present, Xia Duo does not have the technology to create the tower spirit, and Savile has no information to pass down, which is equivalent to saying that if the tower spirit is hung, the tower of time will enter the "full manual" mode from "fully automatic" to "fully manual".

That would take a huge toll on Nia's energy.

……

In addition to the energy problem, there is actually a maintenance problem, not that there is no money for maintenance, but that the Tower of Time is running out of people who can carry out maintenance work.

After the transformation and restructuring of the Tower of Time, each member has their own job, and the maintenance work is regarded as additional overtime work.

But now there are so many people, and almost every official mage has been assigned maintenance work, which greatly affects their own work, especially since the Registrar's Office is now almost full-time apprentice mentors.

In addition, personal time will also be affected, and it is okay to work a few shifts in a short period of time, and if you work overtime for a long time, even if you have a salary, it will still make people dissatisfied.

Xia Duo himself hated overtime, so how could he force the members of the Tower of Time to work overtime!

Even as magic technicians, Xia Duo gave them plenty of time to study and rest, instead of using them as slave labor.

……

The main reason why the shortage of maintenance personnel is not the biggest problem is that the first batch of new apprentices have grown into full-fledged mages, and as long as they continue to train, they can always find enough qualified maintenance personnel.

It just takes a little time.

Together with the problem of the small number of Arcanists mentioned to Nia the day before yesterday, and the problem of the lack of high-level magic technicians that Xia Duo himself discovered, it can all be boiled down to a matter of time.

It is more difficult to hire externally, and you still have to train yourself.

At this stage, it can be said that it is the most difficult stage of the Tower of Time, and the relevant personnel are seriously faulty, and they can only rely on time to get through slowly.

There is only an energy problem, and time cannot get through it.

Unless you wait for the Mither energy core, but the time is not certain at all, maybe the tower of time will not be able to hold up this year and will go bankrupt.

……

There is prosperity on the outside, but there is a crisis on the inside.

In the temple garden, Shado and Nia sat opposite each other, and they were a little silent when they thought about some of the problems that the Tower of Time was facing today.

First of all, it is impossible to stop recruiting new people, but the more new people are recruited, the greater the pressure on the Tower of Time, except for money, there are problems everywhere.

"Nia, I think we might be able to build another Mage Tower!"

"Yes, you're a Grand Arcanist now, and you really need a mage tower of your own!" Nia didn't hesitate to agree.

But Xia Duo was not very happy, because-

There are so many resources needed to build a mage tower!

If it was an ordinary mage tower like the Watchtower, Xia Duo and Nia could barely get together, but that kind of mage tower would have almost no effect on Xia Duo now.

If you want to build it, it must be at least the same level as the Tower of Time!

The cost of this would be too much, but Chardo was now reluctant to reveal the fact that he had become a Grand Arcanist, and it would be difficult to get assistance from the Arcane Federation or the Council of Severington.

If you build it entirely on your own financial resources, the cost will start at least 10 million gold coins.

"Money, money, money! Where can I get the money! ”

尽管夏多现在付不起一座时之塔级别的法师塔的全部费用，但开个头总没什么问题，就像时之塔，最初也不是萨维尔手里建造完成的。

It was fully built in the hands of Niah's father, Lord Epps.

Xia Duo could also choose to build it in phases, as long as it was built first enough to divert some of the new apprentices, and perhaps a group of regular mages could be diverted from the watchtower.

He thought about it a few times, and then said to Niya, "Then start building!" However, it may not be possible to start construction anytime soon, after all, I haven't done the design yet. As for now—"

Xia Duo took out more than a dozen standard Arcanon Crystals from the dimensional bag he was carrying, and put them on the table in front of the two of them, "I remember that there are still dozens of Arcane Crystals in the Tower of Time Material Warehouse, and I also have some here, let's use Arcane Crystals to top it first, and when I get to Severton, I will send more Arcane Crystals back." ”

So Shado had another reason to keep up with the progress of Iolem's experiments, yes, he had already decided to gather wool from the subsequent experiments.

Anyway, if the experiment fails, if you don't catch it, you will be scattered, and if you catch it, you will earn it.

Ioram only collected a few times to save more than 100,000 arcane energy crystals, Xia Duo is not too much, as long as a few thousand, the Tower of Time can solve a lot of problems.

However, this method is also a target that does not cure the root cause, what the Tower of Time really lacks is not energy, but the infrastructure that matches the existing number of people, which is only a short-term energy source today.

By tomorrow, it may be that the spell lab has not been maintained in time and has been shut down.

In the case of the Tower of Time itself, which is already difficult to renovate, building a new magical building is almost the only option.

……

Looking at the blue energy crystal on the table, Nia did not accept it, but reached out and pushed it in front of Xia Duo, and said:

"You're no safer when you're away than I am staying in the Tower of Time, so take these with you! When the Tower of Time is running out of reserves, I'll ask you again. ”

Nia is well aware that for the Arcanist, the Arcanist is almost a life-like existence, and as long as the Arcanist has it, the Arcanist will never be short of spells.

Almost every Arcanist will desperately accumulate Arcane Energy, but this is not up to the Arcanist himself, the natural upper limit of Arcanist power is there, even if he doesn't use it at all, he can't save much.

However, Xia Duo also did not accept Nia's refusal, the Arcanic Crystals he took out now were indeed all his inventory, but when he returned to Severton, he could first get some spare from Iolem's laboratory.

The box of more than 100,000 Acangol crystals that Iolam handed over to him before was only used up in the debugging process when renovating the laboratory, and the rest remained in the laboratory.

It is expedient to take some backups, but it does not violate the principles of Chardo.

"Don't worry, I still have it here, you can take these first."

As he spoke, Xia Duo pushed the Arcanon Crystal on the table and urged Niya to put it away, but Nia still refused, and Xia Duo had no choice but to pick up five from the table, and then Nia gave up.

Five arcane crystals equals about five 10-ring spells, so there should be no problem in responding to an emergency in Severton.
