Chapter 2734: The Beginning of the Third Inheritance, the Turning Point of Yi Lusi's Destiny
"It has been decided."
Dien first gave an affirmative answer, then changed the subject, "However, many of them are preparing to participate in the Intermediate Assessment at the end of the month. If they are allowed to receive the inheritance now, will it dampen their self-confidence?"
"You added Level 4 Mages to the list?" Xia Duo frowned.
Dien immediately explained, "The assessment for Level 4 Mages was only just completed in the last two days; we didn't know before that they could be rated as Level 4 Mages."
Upon hearing this explanation, Xia Duo immediately understood Dien's criteria for selecting people, which were likely still based on the previous standards, prioritizing new Mages with more prominent talent.
But two batches totaling over a hundred people had already received the inheritance, and although these people had not all completed their training, as long as the training was finished, the situation of the Tower of Time lacking core strength could be immediately and effectively alleviated.
In other words, the Tower of Time did not need to rush to produce the most Advanced Rank Mages in the shortest possible time; it could take its time according to demand and plans.
The candidates for the third Inheritance Ritual that Xia Duo intended to select were mainly to supplement the manpower for his own projects and the several new projects at the Plane Exploration Center, not for any other purpose.
There was no need to sacrifice that batch of the most outstanding new Mages.
Being able to become an Advanced Rank Mage in the shortest time is indeed a rare opportunity for those with average talent; although they would have a high probability of becoming Advanced Rank Mages if they grew slowly on their own, but—
Nowadays, the Yi Lusi Council has a councilor meeting every month and a plenary meeting including all lords every six months. In the last month or two, because there were too few matters, Xia Duo had entrusted his voting rights to Niya.
To perfect it, a certain population base is still needed, as well as a foundation of universal education; it is difficult to build an advanced primary education system with the current 700,000 people.
So I gave Ruier more explicit instructions directly, "For the third Inheritance Ritual, prioritize those with outstanding talent, and prioritize selecting from the eighth-grade Apprentices."
Xia Duo did not want to stifle true geniuses; in fact, even among the candidates for the previous two Inheritance Rituals, he had not chosen the most outstanding batch.
At present, although the Tower of Time has three High Mages, I am afraid that only Xia Duo is truly capable of this work, and the reason he is capable is actually largely due to his experience studying abroad in the Red Heart Alliance.
Adult territory residents are actually adult territory residents, their thinking is mostly set, far less easy to change than teenagers, and the first and second-grade Apprentices are just at such a stage of laying a foundation.
Regarding primary education, the new projects Xia Duo is preparing to start now can actually be considered part of primary education, although it is not perfect.
Only by completing the complete education of the first and second-grade Apprentices can they be considered potential citizens of the future magical civilization, or pioneers of the new era.
Of course, with the existence of the Remote Conference Magic Tool, the so-called "attendance" does not require Xia Duo to go to Yi Lusi in person; he only needs to participate in the remote meeting.
The first batch was actually more of Xia Duo's friends from when he was obscure, such as Ruier and Sami, as well as the winners of the first Ji Che She Ji Daxia.
The third batch also has one hundred spots, and Xia Duo is mainly filling these people into the projects that the second batch of Quasi-high-level Mages joined.
Xia Duo cannot waste resources and energy prioritizing the cultivation of the remnants of the old era; he must prioritize cultivating teenagers, which is also one of the reasons why he has not yet truly opened enrollment to ordinary territory residents.
……
Teachers for primary education must at least be senior researchers who have made achievements in their own fields, right? Converted to the current mainstream level of Nai Se Yi Er, at least they must be the best among High Mages.
Having clarified the selection criteria for the third batch list, Xia Duo was not prepared to continue staying there; there were still a pile of things waiting for him in the Laboratory.
After that, it is the big goal—primary education construction. In fact, these three small, medium, and large goals are not done one after another, but are carried out simultaneously and completed gradually.
It is mainly two things: one is to ask for help from Nai Se Yi Er, requesting aid for cold-resistant seeds, winter food, clothing, etc.
The other thing is that Seventon Ke intends to strengthen exchanges with Nai Se Yi Er; to put it bluntly, it is to send more people to Nai Se Yi Er to learn Magic.
Not to mention anything else, there is an extreme lack of teachers.
As for why not select people from the second grade, first grade, or even ordinary territory residents, it is mainly considered from the perspective of accepting the concept of the academy.
If one wants to teach in the academy of the Red Heart Alliance, then he is actually still a bit lacking.
As for why Badijiaer specifically invited him to be present, the notice also mentioned it; it is about another human country in the Northland Alliance—the newly established Seventon Ke.
But the absolute strength of Seventon Ke is completely incomparable to that of Nai Se Yi Er at that time. Once this matter is handled improperly, perhaps the short-lived national destiny of Seventon Ke will end here.
But the latter, hoping to send more people to Nai Se Yi Er to learn Magic, this matter can be big or small, all depending on the attitude of the Mage. If the Mage does not care, then it is not impossible for Seventon Ke to merge into Nai Se Yi Er as a whole country.
Of these two things, the former is not very important; at least for Nai Se Yi Er, even if Seventon Ke perishes, the impact on itself is not large.
Now the total population of the Territory, including the Savile Territory, is as high as 700,000, and the eligible teenagers among them have not all joined the Tower of Time yet!
In the early stage of the rapid development of the Tower of Time, becoming an Advanced Rank Mage one day earlier makes a completely different situation. For people with ordinary talent, this may be a rare opportunity to defy the heavens and change their fate.
When selecting people for the second batch of the Inheritance Ritual, there were also those selected from Apprentices, but they were the best among the third graders. This time it was not selected like that, and actually, there were not so many outstanding ones for him to choose from at will.
However, Xia Duo will not belittle himself. The current him is undoubtedly a bug-level existence for Nai Se Yi Er and even the entire Main Plane. As long as he is given time, he can completely create a new world.
But if the Mage cares, and cares very much, then this matter is more difficult to handle, almost equivalent to the impact of Nai Se Yi Er abandoning Elven Magic in Yierlan at the beginning.
He is now trying his best to increase the speed of expansion, so as not to let the 13-year-old teenagers who are at the age-appropriate threshold miss the opportunity to enroll. As for those who are older, they can only wait until the true universal education is rolled out.
The second batch is the one hundred people selected for targeted cultivation.
But receiving the Inheritance Ritual and becoming an Advanced Rank Mage in a short time may consume their potential in advance, making it difficult for them to reach the limit they could reach under normal development conditions.
But this time, the notice from the Councilor Secretariat mentioned that Badijiaer specifically invited him to be present.
However, when he returned to the Laboratory and had just finished debugging the instruments, news came from Yi Lusi that the time for the councilor meeting agreed upon at the beginning of the month had arrived.
And for those with excellent talent, their growth and development ceiling are higher. Even if they become Advanced Rank Mages a little later, for them who are in the Tower of Time where everything is booming, it will not actually affect their final achievements.
At least it won't work now.
Xia Duo expects that at the current rate of development, the small goal of having all eligible teenagers enroll can be achieved in at most one or two years, and the subsequent medium goal is universal education.
