Although before today, Xia Duo had expected the effect of the students' practical homework on clearing the decay field, he was still surprised by the actual effect being so good!
Of course, the effect here does not refer to the effect of actually clearing the decay field, but the effect of obtaining divine grace through this matter.
In terms of acquisition efficiency alone, it may not be more efficient than distributing old magic weapons, but if the cost is combined, the efficiency of distributing students' homework will suddenly increase.
You know, this time Ye Erlan invested over 100 million worth of old magic weapons at one time for the experiment, but even so, it only allowed Xia Duo to gain the grace of applying for two patents.
If Ye Erlan's old magic weapon is used as a reference, doesn't it mean that the student homework that Xia Duo invested is worth more than 50 million?
Putting aside the emotional bonus, the Tower of Time student homework in the Five Warehouses is probably not worth even 10,000 gold coins!
It depends on whether any of the scapegoats are willing to buy it! Many of the old magic weapons of the elves are just the wear and tear of non-magical elements on the surface, but their actual functions are still intact.
If you want to sell it, if nothing else, there is definitely a market in Netheril.
Therefore, Xia Duo believes that even if the value of over 100 million mentioned by Phillipa is not true, so many old magic weapons are definitely not fake, and there is definitely no problem if the actual value exceeds 10 million!
But these were completely destroyed by the students’ homework from Tower of Time!
What does it mean to "spend a small amount of money to do big things"? Just exchange students' homework for God's grace!
In addition, through understanding the old magic weapons of many elves and the students' homework in the Tower of Time, Shado also came up with a more specific data on how to obtain divine grace, which is——
It would take almost ten million leyline strings to be invested in the decay field to obtain enough divine grace to apply for a patent.
The description of ten million magic web strings is not intuitive, but if converted into Mythras, it is almost equivalent to investing in ten Mythras. Perhaps like Ye Erlan's old magic weapon, quantity wins.
But the above two solutions are not as good as the Tower of Time student work.
Therefore, after coming to this conclusion, Xia Duo's first thought was to seize the time to gain divine favor while the decay field was still there, and the best way to gain divine favor was to put students into play.
At present, the student homework accumulated in the Tower of Time has been used up and cannot be obtained again in a short time. What should we do?
It’s very simple. If you don’t have enough homework, assign more!
In the past, Tower of Time had to consider costs, and the practical assignments were essentially the Tower of Time distributing materials for students to practice. Under Shado's instructions, it was possible to ensure that every student had equal access to practice opportunities.
But it only provides a foundation and does not allow all students to fully practice.
In other words, there is still a lot of potential to be tapped in practical work, and since everyone has a casting limit, it is actually impossible to cast spells 24 hours a day.
Therefore, even if all practical assignments are taken up, students still have time to go to class and complete paper assignments.
Considering that Tower of Time students already use all available time, increasing the proportion of practical homework actually means reducing paper homework.
It's just that Xia Duo is not sure whether such adjustments can improve students' learning efficiency. If not, he will not torment students in order to gain divine favor for himself.
But if it can be improved, then he conservatively estimates that he can get at least 100,000 student assignments every day. If it is put into the decay field, that is almost 1 million Magic Network strings.
??????????.??????
In this way, it takes almost ten days to obtain the divine grace required for a patent application. This speed is relatively acceptable to Xia Duo.
…
With this in mind, Xia Duo first sent a message to Dean, Sami and others, asking them to conduct a survey among students in the name of joining the society to see their own opinions on increasing practical assignments.
Then, he sent a message to Jose from the Academic Affairs Office of the Tower of Time, asking the other party to discuss the pros and cons of increasing practical assignments among the teachers. At the same time, Xia Duo also mentioned that there may be a period of adjustment attempts in the future to allow the Academic Affairs Office to do a good job.
All aspects of preparation and response work.
After doing this, Shado came to Iolum's camp again. At this time, many Nese mages had gathered here. When Shado arrived, he happened to hear them discussing him.
"I don't know what the elf is throwing behind it, but the actual effect is much stronger than the previous one!"
Hearing such comments, Shado smiled knowingly. Only Iolum knew that he disguised himself as an elf to participate in the sacrifice experiment of Erlan, and Iolum also knew that what he was doing was an apprenticeship in the Tower of Time.
But others didn't know anything. They just thought it was Ye Erlan who had come up with some new tricks at the end!
However, from the conversations between these Nese mages, Shado also saw that these people were actually more inclined to eliminate the decay field by investing in magic items to speed up the magic network's self-healing.
Instead of letting the mysterious priest come to help as Iolum proposed before.
This is actually a controversial point within Netheril's Iolum plan. As far as the plan itself is concerned, it is undoubtedly beneficial to Netheril, especially for those in higher positions. Almost only these support mages are used.
The risk of group destruction.
There are a lot of benefits.
For the arcane priests, that is, some arcanists, it is certainly a good thing to be able to obtain divine favor by repairing the magic network, but according to Iolum's plan, not only will they not be able to obtain divine favor, but they will also have to consume their own divine favor.
Unless they are a very small number of people with extremely firm beliefs, I am afraid that most arcane priests are unwilling to engage in such a loss-making business.
As for the other mages besides the arcane priests, these people's opinions are not unanimous. First of all, Iolum's plan requires other mages. It is not just the priests who need the cooperation. It also requires the cooperation of a large number of other mages.
And this also involves the assessment of benefits and risks. Unless the Sevington Council gives money and provides security, otherwise, I am afraid only the Seven Towers Master is willing!
But this is not in the interests of the Seven Towers. Although the authority of the Seven Towers has been reduced a lot after the new covenant, it is still the actual ruler of Netheril.
Therefore, Shado speculates that if Iolum's plan is finally used, the alliance will probably have to pay in the end. Of course, the Seven Towers or the Severnton Council will also have to pay something.
This expenditure is probably not a small amount, otherwise the internal disputes in Netheril may not be settled, but compared to the plan of placing magic items, the cost of Iolam's plan is undoubtedly very low.
Of course, if the alliance countries are willing to wait, they can also wait for the Tower of Time to slowly accumulate enough student homework. This should be regarded as a bug solution, and the cost should be said to be the lowest.
After all, the apprenticeship in the Tower of Time is useless in the first place. If it can be used to eliminate the decay field, it will be a waste utilization and create additional value.
