In addition to Dean, Devine, and Sami also talked about his plan. After becoming an official mage, he planned to bring his brother back to the mage tower to learn magic.
Edrich, on the other hand, hopes to perform well in front of his father, preferably to outdo his brother.
Listening patiently to their plans, or dreams, one by one, Xia Duo felt that his whole body and mind were a bit younger. Although he was only 25 years old, compared with these little guys who were less than 20 years old, he looked a bit old.
"Xia Duo, what are your plans next?" It was Dean who asked. He had great respect for Xia Duo, the person who pulled him out of the quagmire and gave him hope.
He is eager to know what Sha Duo's plans are and intends to support him as much as possible.
Xia Duo glanced around without leaving any trace, taking in everyone's expressions. Except for Devine, who had become a little unpredictable because of his faith, Xia Duo had a good grasp of the psychology of the other three people.
"Next, I plan to find a mentor and study magic with peace of mind."
"What about the study group? Don't you care?" Edrich suddenly asked. Everyone had tacitly agreed not to mention this issue before. After all, Sha Duo had already become an official mage, and they were just apprentices.
Except for Edrich, who could get a piece of information on a level 1 spell and learn it and master it in a short period of time, the others couldn't even get the information on the spell.
If they take the mage tower route, they are short of a year of territory tasks; if they take the self-research route, they are short of time.
The longer time goes by, the greater the gap between them and Xia Duo. As for asking Xia Duo to teach them his newly created first-level spell, they themselves can't do it regardless of whether Xia Duo is willing or not.
Now Edrich has made this issue clear. He really doesn't want the study group to dissipate. He has already tasted the benefits of communication within the organization and has experienced the mutual care among organizational members. He is full of resistance to the cold world outside the organization.
.
"Xia Duo, please speak!"
"This question——" Xia Duo has actually thought about it for a long time.
Once the organization is formed, it has a natural will. It wants to exist and grow. Before that, Edrich had actually always wanted to bring the fat man Donald and Gibson, another apprentice from Arcane Garden, into the study group, but Xia
Always dragging more.
It is because such an organization with a strong desire to survive and grow actually has an extremely fragile foundation and was only built without the Mage Tower's care.
Xia Duo doesn't know enough about the Mage Tower, mainly the rulers of the Mage Tower, and doesn't want to easily expand the study group. Maintaining the current size of five people is almost enough for communication.
No matter how much more, Xia Duo himself may not be sure to control the expansion trend of the study group. One mistake will cause the ship to crash and everyone to die. Edrich may be able to cover up the petty quarrels among the apprentices, but once he becomes a formal mage,
It's a small organization, and Edrich can't cover it.
Even Adrian may not be able to protect him. After all, he is only a level 3 mage. Even if he is a student of the lord, he may not have much say in the mage tower.
It can be summed up in three words, lacking a background.
Chateau told Edrich his analysis, "Now is not a good time to expand the study group. On the contrary, the study group needs to stay dormant. I think the study group can be disbanded."
"Disband? No! No way!" Edrich's eyes suddenly turned red, like a lone wolf abandoned by the wolves, desperately trying to save something, "Xia Duo, I know you are very smart, you must
There is a way!"
"Edrich! Calm down! And Dean, Sammy, Devine, listen to me-"
Xia Duo took a deep breath and said what he had been brewing for a long time, "Do you think our relationship is only based on the study group? If there is no study group, wouldn't we no longer be friends and become friends again?
Becoming apathetic?
"No! In fact, it is precisely because of the premise that we are friends that the study group exists. What do you think?"
Without waiting for Edrich and others to reply, Shado continued to strike while the iron was hot, "Edrich, do you think we are friends?"
After months of organizational training, Edrich answered without hesitation: "We are friends!"
"Dean, what do you think?"
There was a hint of fanaticism in Dean's eyes, "We are friends!"
Next to Sammy, he also agreed with this point of view, and finally Devine, although he looked a little different from before, finally agreed.
So, Xia Duo began to summarize, "The study group was disbanded for the safety of the group members, but the study group's concept of sharing, open communication, and open communication will not be disbanded. If someone can follow the concept of the study group, then he is our friend
!Is a natural member of the organization.”
"Organization? Yes, organization!"
Edrich's eyes suddenly became bright, "Without the study group, we are our own organization, united by ideas, and will never disappear!"
"I am the organization, you are the organization, and together we are still the organization!"
The remaining three Deans also understood Shado's solution - to transform the basis of communication from a tangible organization like a "study group" into an invisible organization based on ideas.
Visible organizations are easy to eradicate, but invisible ideas are extremely tenacious.
An ideological organization was established in this way. Xia Duo didn't know whether it was good or bad, but he made this choice subconsciously.
He knows that this kind of play is most likely playing with fire, and the organization will most likely develop to a point where it is difficult for him to control it, and will eventually backfire on him.
But this kind of pleasure and awareness of making history fascinated him.
…
Now that it has been decided to disband the study group, the question and answer session will no longer continue. However, before Edrich and others become official mages, they will look for people with similar ideas to pass on the fire.
In the future, there may not be group Q&A sessions, but there will be mutual help among friends.
After lunch, Chateau declined the exchange invitation from Edrich and others. He had racked his brains to organize it in this way, and now it was time to let it grow naturally for a while.
During this period, Xia Duo must also work hard to grow and avoid being backlashed in the future.
…
Tower of Time, public floor, assessment room.
The assessment room is different from the material application office. There are usually very few people applying for assessment, so there is only one assessment room on the entire public floor, and the mages on duty in it are not available every day.
Fortunately, Xia Duo was not so unlucky that day. Except for the fact that he didn't meet anyone when he came in the morning, when he came at noon, there happened to be a mage on duty inside.
Being assigned to the assessment room is at least equivalent to the human resources director of a company. Xia Duo is now similar to an ordinary employee who wants to be promoted and asked to be divided into shares. He is still quite intimidated when it comes to human resources.
Coupled with the real magic world, although the other party is just a personnel manager, maybe temporary, he has powerful power. It is not shameful to fear power. Xia Duo said respectfully:
"Sir, I would like to apply for formal mage authority."
