Arcane Lord

Chateau still often recalls the old man in Savile Town who used [magic tricks] to tease children. In addition to that old man, there are many people in Savile Town who have the ability to cast spells as adults.

Although only superficial tricks, this innate ability to cast spells should have been valued at a young age and worked hard to develop.

It's a pity that these people's spell-casting abilities can only be reduced to toys to amuse children.

Xia Duo didn't care whether those people's abilities were innate. After all, those people might have stayed in the Tower of Time and bragged about it later, but this at least showed one thing -

Savile Town is dotted with a number of spellcasters (who may only know a rudimentary cantrip).

Wouldn't it be great to train these people and then train them into magic technicians?

Once industry takes off, unless fully automated production suddenly appears that day, a large number of qualified industrial workers will be indispensable!

In the magical world, in the eyes of Sha Duo, the minimum standard for qualified industrial workers is to have the ability to cast spells. Without the ability to cast spells, you can't even connect to the magic network, or even operate the alchemy circle, so how can you produce magic items?

The Tower of Time is currently transforming from a classical workshop to a modern college. The mid- and long-term goal is the integration of industry, academia, and research. However, for now, absorbing social forces is also an indispensable and important accumulation in the transformation process of the Tower of Time.

…

After leaving the town hall, Chateau passed through the central square in front of the town hall and flew southeast. When he flew to the center of the square, Chateau's heart moved and he landed in front of the statue of Savile.

The statue had been seen countless times in the past, but this time it suddenly had some strange charm. Xia Duo walked around the statue a few times, and he found that this strange charm was wrapped around the statue, vaguely present.

It can only be discovered inadvertently. If you observe it deliberately, it will disappear.

"Is this the power of faith?"

It’s not surprising that Xia Duo made this guess. It’s really hard not to think of the statue as something that reminds people of the power of faith. However, Xia Duo has never seen the power of faith with his own eyes, so he can’t tell whether this is the place.

"Um--"

Xia Duo suddenly had an idea, but there was still business to do at the moment, so he suppressed the idea in his heart, and it would not be too late to verify it after the business was done.

…

Arriving at the military camp, before Xia Duo landed, he saw a man dressed as a mage and three soldiers milling around a small open space in a training ground.

If you look closely, you'll see that you're still an acquaintance!

Xia Duo fell directly towards the training ground, "Siore, why is it you? If you are not tinkering with those gadgets at the Tower of Time, what are you doing here?"

Siore is the only mid-level mage in the Tower of Time who does not have any apprentices. He usually likes to tinker with some weird things, and he causes some troubles from time to time.

The most serious one was when he turned himself into a puppy. Fortunately, he could still speak normally and asked Lord Epps and Aberke to be found. Otherwise, he might have been cooked by the real puppy.

Seeing Xia Duo, Siole's eyes were a little dodgey, and he said hesitantly: "I took over the duty duty and came here!"

"Really? I don't believe it!"

Sha Duo looked at the soldiers on the side, "Let me ask you, what is Master Siole doing here?"

"Sir, Master Siore is here to sell his multifunctional mixture!"

Not really! But what is the multi-function total? Xia Duo was stunned for a moment, but then he understood that it was probably some novel toy created by Siole.

Only this time he switched to potions.

"How's the effect?" Xia Duo asked again.

"It should be pretty good!" the soldier replied truthfully.

not bad? Chateau glanced at Siole, when did this guy come up with something good?

However, since there was no problem, Xia Duo stopped asking and just reminded Siole not to be too busy and miss the training class time, and then walked towards the barracks not far away.

…

The meeting with Ke Yaen was very brief. After knowing that the mages who had taken over the duty were very cooperative, Xia Duo left with peace of mind.

Shado did not give a direct answer to the question raised by Ke Yaen about the single-person mission being only one day, which would repeatedly interrupt the training progress of spellcasters in the army.

Delaying the task time is really simple in operation, just changing the task content.

But not everyone can accept long-term field service, especially during the mission, they have to obey the orders of an ordinary person and do whatever they are told.

This is the critical moment of the Tower of Time's transformation, and it is most necessary to go through it smoothly. It is really inconvenient to increase the task time and make the mood jump.

However, considering that different people need different choices, Xia Duo contacted Taling to add a self-selected duration setting for duty duty tasks, allowing them to choose by themselves.

For now, only 1, 2, and 3 days are available.

As for whether it will be forced to be extended in the future, it will depend on the specific circumstances.

…

Whether it is to give a mission to Mayor Thain or to come to the military camp to check on duty service, it can only be regarded as a small episode. The most important purpose of Sha Duo's visit to Savile Town this time is to prepare for the upcoming launch of Tower of Time. Looking for agents for communication instruments.

Xia Duo prefers the Chamber of Commerce to be the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce. On the one hand, it is the chamber of commerce introduced by the princess, which brought sincerity to the Tower of Time when it was in difficulty. On the other hand, it is the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce itself.

It has a good reputation. The owner behind it is said to be a senior arcanist who has cooperated with many great arcanists in the Seven Towers. It is considered one of the most outstanding chambers of commerce in Netheril.

It is not even limited to the Seven Towers, but also maintains good relations with forces outside the Seven Towers.

Through the Brightwater Chamber of Commerce, Shado can sell the Tower of Time's communication tools to the entire Netheril, and even the elves and dwarves.

Therefore, the first stop he went to was the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce's office in Savile Town.

…

Savile Town, East End.

Xia Duo knew the address, but he still found the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce office after asking. It was so out of the way!

Behind a shop, it may have been used as a temporary warehouse and was later transformed into an office.

When Xia Duo arrived, the door here was still ajar. If it weren't for the very special gold coin emblem of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce hanging at the door, he would have thought he was in the wrong place.

"Is there anyone there?" Xia Duo called inside.

It was a bit deep and dark inside, but it still couldn't block Xia Duo's sight. He saw someone inside.

Sure enough, a loud voice came from inside, "We won't talk about new business for the time being. Old customers can come in and sit wherever they like!"

Xia Duoxin said it was interesting. He didn't do any business, but Tower of Time was an old customer and was not among them. He opened the door, stood at the door and said inside: "I am Xia Duo!"

Although the sound was not loud this time, it carried the power of magic and spread straight to the innermost part.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Duo heard the sound of tables and chairs colliding, and then a figure jumped out from inside and stopped in front of him:

"Xia Duo, Lord Xia Duo?"

The visitor squinted his eyes and looked at Xia Duo against the light, seemingly suspicious. When Xia Duo saw this, he shook the [Pioneer Scepter] in his hand, and a smile instantly broke out on the visitor's face.
