Arcane Lord

Seeing this, Sean immediately started to complain, "Sir, most of those apprentices who can cast spells are here with Ke Yanen, but he just doesn't want to let them go, saying that they are all backbones of the army, and it's a waste to send them to the Tower of Time to do chores." In his tone, he was very disapproving of Ke Yanen's backbone rhetoric. In the presence of magic, how much effect can ordinary people have no matter how many! In Sean's mind, those apprentices who left the Tower of Time were not much different from ordinary people. Do you really expect them to fight like real mages? However, as soon as Sean finished speaking, Ke Yanen immediately refuted: "Of course they are backbones of the army. It is too troublesome to train ordinary people to use magic scrolls from scratch, but these apprentices are different. Regardless of their spellcasting ability, at least each of them can use magic scrolls. They are simply the most ideal grassroots officers! "Now the territory army has just recovered from the war two years ago. If these people are withdrawn at once, the grassroots of the army will fall apart! Since it is for chores, anyone can be used. Why must they be drawn from the army! "

After saying that, he looked at Xia Duo expectantly, as if hoping that Xia Duo would change his mind.

After hearing this, Xia Duo also understood why the two had been arguing at the door just now.

Xia Duo didn't know much about the future of the apprentices of the Tower of Time in recent years, but he knew that Sammy's younger brother had been farming at home after leaving the Tower of Time.

As for the others, they would probably continue to live on their original life trajectory.

Due to the limitations of the times, ordinary people had very few opportunities to become mages, and the experience of the Tower of Time could not bring them many good opportunities.

They could join the army and become basic Being a junior officer is a very good way out.

The worst possibility is to become an adventurer. The contact with magic has increased the ambition of those people, but the ability of a poor apprentice cannot make them smooth sailing on the road of adventurers. The ending is likely to end in tragedy.

However, with the arrival of Shado, it is different. He brings new opportunities, but there is a problem of how to make a smooth transition, which needs to be seriously considered.

After thinking about it, Shado stopped the arguing of Sean and Koyan, "Stop arguing, Mayor Sean, let me ask you, are all the 34 people on the list here with Koyan? ”

Before Shado’s transformation, the Tower of Time would recruit new apprentices every year, with fixed contracts of three years. At the same time, there would also be a group of apprentices whose contracts expired. If they felt that they had no hope in magic, they would leave the Tower of Time.

The number of people who left each year ranged from dozens to nearly a hundred. Therefore, the number of apprentices in the Tower of Time has always remained at around 300.

This year, because of Shado’s transformation, not only did there not be a loss of apprentices, but hundreds of new apprentices were recruited. The 34 people are the number of apprentices with spellcasting ability among the two recent batches of apprentices who left the Tower of Time, as recorded by the Tower of Time.

As soon as Shado asked, Ke Yan answered first: "No, I don’t have that many here. There are a few people who are determined to become adventurers, and I don’t know their information now."

"Mayor Sean? "Shado motioned for Sean to answer.

"Sir, only three people went to be adventurers, one of whom has died, and the other two later joined the Chamber of Commerce as guards. If nothing unexpected happened, they should have followed their boss back to Savile from Conifila City not long ago. The remaining 31 people are all with Ke Yan."

"In that case, Ke Yan--"

Shado looked at Ke Yan and ordered without any room for refusal, "Give me all 31 people!"

"Yes!" Ke Yan hesitated for a moment, but still agreed with difficulty.

Shado saw the difficulty on Ke Yan's face, but he didn't care. Perhaps Ke Yan thought that since Nia was back, he had the confidence to bargain. He was really naive.

"Go and call the people over. I'm going to take them back to the Tower of Time now! "

After saying this, Ke Yan's face became even uglier. He responded vaguely in a low voice and left.

After Ke Yan left, Sean said a few good words for him, "Sir, Ke Yan has spent his whole life in the military camp and attaches great importance to the territory's army. He did not intend to resist your orders."

"Don't worry, I don't blame him. He can realize the advantages of the apprentices of the Tower of Time and use them. This is beyond the thinking of many people. I am very optimistic about him. "

This is indeed what Shado really thinks. After all, the follower of the old Lord Coyan has made outstanding contributions and has a high reputation. He is an old man in the Lord of Savile.

Of course, a little warning is also necessary. The army just needs to obey orders. It is not a good thing to have their own ideas.

…

After a while, Coyan came back. Not only him, but also several teams of soldiers followed behind him and stopped outside the barracks.

Looking at the bad faces of those former apprentices, Shado couldn't help laughing. He ignored Coyan who came back to report. He walked out of the barracks, stood in front of the 31 people, and announced loudly:

"Soldiers, congratulations on being recruited! Entering the Tower of Time again, but not as a chores, but as a magic technician!

"Maybe you don't understand the meaning of this profession now, but this is your chance to get in touch with magic again. You will never regret it in the future. I hope that in a few years, I can see a few great wizards among you!"

Of course, the expected cheering situation will not appear so easily, but the expressions on the faces of these old apprentices are somewhat relaxed. After all, they are still looking forward to what it means to be in touch with magic again.

Then, Xia Duo continued: "As the first batch of magic technicians, as long as you don't give up, I guarantee that each of you will become a true mage."

It has never been Xia Duo's style to force others, especially at the grassroots level. Xia Duo always has a long time of patience.

Perhaps there was an error in the communication process, and the magic technicians were understood by Mayor Thain, Keyan and others as handymen. Now it is still necessary to explain a little bit.

After hearing Xia Duo's assurance, these old apprentices finally began to be tempted, exchanged glances with each other, and finally said in unison: "I am willing to serve you!"

"very good!"

Sha Duo turned back to Thain and said, "Mayor Thain, please take them to the portal first. I'll be there later!"

"yes."

…

After Thain and the dozens of old apprentices left, only Sha Duo and Key Ya'en were left in the venue. Just when Key Ya'en was feeling uneasy and worried about being punished, Sha Duo spoke:

"Ke Ya'en, well, let's call you General Ke Ya'en. Magical mechanics are the fundamental plan of the Tower of Time, and no one can stop it. You made a mistake in this matter!"

"grown ups--"

Ke Yaen was about to argue, but was interrupted by Xia Duo, "I won't say any more. Starting from next month, the Tower of Time will add a new duty duty mission to ensure that there are always official mages stationed in the military camp. These Mages are under your command, and you can assign them formal military duties as needed, including but not limited to front-line combat, training spellcasters, etc. "

"real?!"

Keyan was immediately overjoyed. A formal mage can play a far greater role than dozens of lame apprentices, not to mention that Shado agreed to train spellcasters in the army. This is simply——

It's like a dream!

But soon, Keyan began to worry about gains and losses again, "But sir, can those mages obey my orders?"

"You don't have to worry about this. The Tower of Time is responsible for restraining them. I think Bert is very good as the first duty mage!"

"This, I -"

Ke Yaen was speechless. Bert was his son and the two hadn't seen each other for a while. He didn't know what Xia Duo meant by making this arrangement, but he really wanted to see his son.

"Okay, that's it, I have to leave first."

Before leaving, Sha Duo sent another sacred motto from the Lord of Glory to Keyan——

Only by not doubting the decision of the superior can the power of order be increased; as long as you obey, there will be no punishment.
