Arcane Lord

noon.

When Chateau and Niya returned to Linshui Village for lunch, Norman, the captain of the guard, suddenly took Layton to the restaurant on the first floor of the lord's villa, and then silently withdrew.

"Sir, I'm here to deliver the recruitment plan."

"Oh? So fast?"

Sha Duo quickly put down his chopsticks and took the plan from Layton. When he opened it, he saw Layton's neat handwriting. After reading it through quickly, Sha Duo closed the plan, considered it for a moment, and gave instructions:

"The plan is well done, but there are two points that need to be adjusted -

"First, there are too many people assigned to the development department. The focus should be on the territory's people's livelihood, food, clothing, housing and transportation. I hope that at least half of the magic affairs officers will be assigned, followed by the development aspect.

"Second, the territorial guards must also assign at least two magic affairs officers to cooperate with the guards in training on new equipment and even further research on combat methods."

Improving people's livelihood has always been what Xia Duo hopes to do. Although the current people's livelihood situation in Daxia Territory is many times better than that in other territories, the process of magic penetrating into the field of people's livelihood is also a process of continuous penetration of the society's ideas.

This is a good entry point, and Xia Duo is naturally particularly concerned about it.

Secondly, in the military field, the Territory Guard has currently deployed a new team of about a hundred people, equipped with the latest standard magic equipment.

It includes a fireball wand with a fixed firing direction, a counter ring used to negate the effects of common spells, various types of restriction rings, a flight belt, and a communication weapon with a fixed target.

Xia Duo's original plan was to have this 100-man team patrol the [Daxia-Saville Passage], but until today, nearly half a year after completing the equipment, he has not been able to achieve the training goals he wanted.

Most people can't even use these new equipment proficiently, let alone develop combat effectiveness.

Arranging two magic affairs officers for them was a helpless move. Xia Duo admitted that he had underestimated the difficulty of ordinary people learning to use magic items.

For things like magic scrolls with fixed activation ports, if you learn one type, you will be considered as having learned many others. It is just a matter of proficiency and choosing the right time.

But now the new equipment equipped by the Centurion has a variety of different activation ports. This is mainly to make it easier for ordinary people to distinguish different magic items, so as to avoid increasing the chance of accidentally touching or starting up by using the same activation port.

In fact, Xia Duo is somewhat eager to achieve success. After the proportion of civilian magicians reaches a certain level, the organic magic troops will naturally be born, rather than artificially piled up now.

But reality also has practical considerations. If we wait to build slowly, we don’t know how long we will have to wait, and the most important thing is——

At this stage, spellcasters are more suitable for production and creation rather than combat. It is too luxurious to directly select soldiers from spellcasters.

At least for quite some time, Shado still prefers to train and cultivate existing ordinary soldiers, rather than directly turning spellcasters into magic warriors.

However, as the process of magic industrialization continues to advance in the future, military equipment will become more complex and professional, which will inevitably require users to receive more professional magic education, rather than just pulling in a few ordinary people to train and form combat capabilities.

Similar to the earth, the requirements for high-level military personnel (including combat, command, and research) in all aspects of quality are becoming higher and higher with the development of science and technology.

…

Except for the two points mentioned by Sha Duo, there were generally no problems with the plan. After raising his opinions, Sha Duo asked Leiden to send the revised recruitment plan directly to the Tower of Time Personnel Department, instead of taking it to the Personnel Department of the Tower of Time. He looked.

After Leiden left, lunch continued. After the meal, Shado continued to supervise Niya as she worked on the test papers. It was like this until the evening, when Niya finally completed one-third of all the basic test papers.

The remaining two-thirds were quickly completed in the next two days. That afternoon, Sha Duo took back the last test paper and told Niya:

"I'll give you two days off and go to the blue crystal plane with me?"

"Azure plane?"

When she first heard this familiar name, Niya's eyes were a little confused. In the past few days, apart from eating and sleeping, her mind had been occupied by endless topics. Now that she suddenly relaxed, she was really at a loss.

"The blue crystal plane! Have you forgotten? We just visited it a few days ago." Sha Duo reminded.

Niya came back to her senses at this time, her eyes became focused, and she said excitedly: "Of course I know, are you ready to start building the floating city?"

"It's not completely ready yet, but it's okay and necessary to build the main body first."

"Then shall we set off now?" Niya said eagerly.

Xia Duo nodded and said: "You go to the preparation hall first, and I will go there with a few documents."

"Well, I'll open the portal first, hurry up!"

After saying that, Niya disappeared, and Shado quickly arrived at the sixth floor of the Tower of Time and obtained three design plans from Horst and other three independent research laboratories.

In the past few days, he distributed a total of four batches of nearly a hundred design tasks to these three independent research laboratories. However, after several days, each research laboratory only handed over one plan.

Of course, with the continuous familiarity there and the continuous feedback from Xia Duo, the efficiency of those three research laboratories will definitely continue to improve, and Xia Duo can definitely wait.

…

Blue crystal plane.

Returning to this pure shimmering water, Xia Duo's originally agitated heart calmed down at this moment.

Super-large strategic magic devices such as the Floating City will inevitably appear with the development of magic, but it just happens to be born in my own hands at this moment, so there is nothing to be excited about.

"Want to start?" Nia asked.

"No rush, let's go check the situation on the island first."

After not coming for five or six days, Xia Duo is still very concerned about the [Mythra] device, and the loss of air on the vacuum side. This is an important basis for the output power of the air factory, and it is also an important part of the plane transformation. It has to be Pay attention to.

Then, the two came to the back of the Fishman Island. The [Mythra] device in the center of the island was running smoothly without any abnormalities.

Xia Duo checked the positioning detection beads at the edge of the suspended field. Within six days, the field had undergone slight changes, which caused the positioning detection beads to no longer be in the same straight line.

But the changes were not obvious. He speculated that at least twice more changes would be needed to have an actual impact on the [Mythra] device.

The fact is that this change is not fixed in a certain direction, but fluctuates. Xia Duo decided to observe it for a period of time before deciding whether to restart the correction.

Speaking of which, if others don't have the space to temporarily store the [Mythra] device, it may not be easy to restart the correction of the suspension field.

"Xia Duo, come on, there are so many arcane crystals!"

"coming!"

Xia Duo also wanted to see how many arcana crystals had been produced in the past six days.
