Chapter 592: Old friends, transformation goals

After talking with the previous mid-level mages who were close to high-level, and at the same time had real power and connections, Xia Duo had a more accurate and realistic grasp of the transformation plan.
Therefore, when meeting with Leonard, Chateau behaved more like a meeting between old friends. Leonard's youth was not much older than him, and he spent a few more years in the projection plane.
In addition to modern life on the earth, all kinds of information are complicated and complicated, and Xia Duo is a bit older than Leonard at this moment, no matter in his psychological or physical age.
In addition, at this moment, the identities of the two are very different in strength, and under Xia Duo's deliberate closeness, Leonard's "vote" was easily won by him.
...
The time soon arrived the next morning, which was the time for the group meeting that Xia Duo notified in advance.
On this day, the apprentices at the public level suddenly discovered that Master Masters who were normally hard to see had all appeared one by one today, and they all went to one place.
The news spread almost quickly.
On the other side, after seeing the Pegasus in the Arcane Garden with a few wizards from the Institute, Xia Duo heard the apprentice whispering on the way to the public floor.
He knew that someone should have arrived early. It is really rare. The mage may be on time or late, but it is very rare to arrive early. It seems that everyone is very concerned about the transformation of the Tower of Time!
When he arrived in the large conference room, Xia Duo glanced at it. The hierarchy inside was clearly defined. Basically the junior mages were sitting around the mid-level mages. The only exception was probably the members of the society.
Currently, there are no mid-level mages in the Academy, and most of them are the youngest and most junior new mages. In addition, there are a larger number of apprentices who have not yet become official mages, but they are not eligible to participate in this meeting.
Even if the center of discussion in this meeting is the apprentice!
After entering the door, Xia Duo and the familiar wizards nodded their heads, and then naturally came to the main seat, and passed Niya to him through Abbock to prove the identity of the surrogate. At the seat, then sat down.
In an instant, he felt that the sound in the conference room was a bit quieter. For this meeting, he rarely put away his [Pathfinder Scepter], just to use it with more symbolic meaning and more authority. "Savile Scepter" to increase "persuasion".
Xia Duo and the people who entered the society were probably the last to come. He also saw Sandur in the conference room. Although he did not meet many times, he still recognized them.
Especially last time when Xia Duo became Niya's substitute, he also stood up and questioned it, which impressed Xia Duo deeply.
After all, this guy didn't dare not come directly.
...
After a while, the last official mage came over in disgrace. It was Ciore. This guy usually likes to be maverick, specializing in some weird things, and from time to time there are some spell accidents.
Because of Edrich’s relationship, Xia Duo knew at least four or five times, and there are more likely to be ignorant. Today, I don’t know what happened to him again, and there are inexplicable beards and hairs on his face. .
Xia Duo was really worried that one day he would play himself to death. After checking the time, he was still a little short of the notified meeting time, so he arrived in time.
cough--
Xia Duo gave a light cough, the voice was not loud, but it was still very clear in this fairly quiet conference room, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention, including those who were still talking quietly.
"Dear members of the Tower of Time! Everyone should have heard some noise more or less. Now I want to tell you that the news is true and the Tower of Time will begin to transform!"
Speaking of this, Xia Duo subconsciously paused, wanting to see how everyone reacted. Some were stunned and some were at a loss, but most of them were expressionless, just watching Xia Duo quietly.
Even if he knew that there was no high-level mage among these people, Xia Duo still felt the slightest pressure. This was probably the so-called mass foundation. The more he valued, the more pressure he felt.
If you change to a person who is completely self-centered, then he will naturally not have any pressure, just follow his own will, but he must bear the consequences.
Of course, Xia Duo also needs to bear the consequences, but he chose a collective decision led by him, taking into account everyone's reactions as much as possible. The so-called consequences are at best decision-making failures, and come back next time.
There will be no dictator’s personal backlash, or there will be, but the system helps him share the burden.
Compared with a one-man dictatorship, Xia Duo's approach may be inferior in efficiency, but in other aspects, such as the soundness of decision-making, the breadth of thinking, and the potential for future development, it will be better than the one-man dictatorship.
Furthermore, the collective decision-making led by him does not compromise his majesty.
Faced with a group of expressionless spellcasters, Xia Duo felt pressured, but also felt responsible. These silent gazes were clearly the worries of the mages who stood above ordinary people about the uncertain future.
The purpose of the transformation is to make the Tower of Time become stronger quickly, catch up with other mage towers of Netheril, and prepare for the possible full-scale war in the future.
Regardless of the short-term or long-term perspective, the personal interests of these wizards seem to have been affected, but from another perspective, they may be able to become the founders of future magical civilization.
What kind of benefits and glory can be compared to this!
Xia Duo was confident of this.
In the meeting room, he continued:
"Everyone, there has been a wave of transformation in the mainland. If we fall behind, it will be more difficult in the future. After I have discussed with Lord Niyata, Mage Abboke~EbookFREE.me~ and many mid-level wizards, Decided to transform the Tower of Time.
"The transformation will be divided into three phases for the time being, and will be implemented gradually. The only one that will be carried out at present is the first stage. Please keep your attention. I will also listen carefully to your suggestions and opinions. These suggestions and opinions will be obtained in the future transformation process. remind."
Glancing at everyone present again, Xia Duo found that the expressions on the mages who were expressionless just now were much softer. After all, Xia Duo gave them respect.
But Xia Duo knows that mere verbal respect will not solve the problem. It still depends on the actual implementation of the transformation plan. If they cannot be satisfied, the subsequent stages will largely fail to proceed.
However, Xia Duo didn't worry much, as long as the plan started, they couldn't help it.
"Now I will announce several goals for the first phase of the transformation of the Tower of Time
"First, incorporate all apprentices into the official sequence of the Tower of Time, and establish a formal apprenticeship management office;
"Second, with regard to the adjustment of library authority, the borrowing authority and fees for some books on the nature of the magic net and the principles of magic are reduced or exempted, including but not limited to apprentices;
"Third, for the adjustment of private research rooms, improve the existing material allocation rules, and establish a formal audit office;
"Fourth, organize formal exchange meetings within the Tower of Time, and form norms, including but not limited to apprentices.
"The above four points are the small goals of the first phase of the transformation of the Tower of Time. If you have any questions, you can ask me now. I will try my best to answer as far as I can."
After speaking, Xia Duo calmly leaned back in the chair behind him, waiting for the first questioner to stand up.
