Arcane Lord

Boli explained briefly, then turned around and glanced at the apprentices who were still in line behind him, lowered his voice slightly, and continued:

"Actually, this section of the road can be regarded as part of the moral education class. In the current apprenticeship class, unless there are no parents of apprentices to open up here, they will try their best to take classes here whenever possible."

Jay nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Is there any danger in the forest?"

"Yes, but there is not much danger in this area."

Just as he was talking, a group of fully armed soldiers appeared in front. Boli waved to them, and then continued to explain to Jay:

"There will be a round of patrols here every ten minutes, and there will be a team of sentries stationed every other section of the [Daxia-Saville Channel] to the west. Under normal circumstances, as long as a signal is sent, they will appear here within ten minutes. At least three teams of soldiers are enough to solve most of the problems."

At this point, the soldiers in front of them had already walked up to Boli and Jay. Neither of them stopped, they just nodded and passed by.

Afterwards, Boli continued to introduce Jay to the situation of pioneering the frontier, "Actually, the most dangerous thing here is not the danger that we can see with the naked eye. The real danger is in the place we can't see."

"For example, last month, a member of a pioneering team accidentally stepped on a seemingly ordinary plant. The wound on his instep came into contact with the plant's juice. Before he could call for help, he collapsed and never recovered. Can stand up.

"In addition to unknown highly toxic plants, there are also some small, easily overlooked poisonous insects, which will also cost the pioneers a heavy price."

When it comes to this, Jay actually has more say. His father almost died from the mouth of a small insect. Fortunately, Archon Leiden treated him in time and saved a life.

But even so, his father's left hand, which was bitten by poisonous insects, still has sequelae to this day, and its power is far inferior to that of his right hand.

"Then how does the territory deal with these potential dangers?" Jay continued to ask.

"Poisonous insects can be driven away with herbs and burned with fire. As for plants, after these days of development, the territory has accumulated a lot of experience. Most of the pioneers know which plants are poisonous, and the development department will send them first before formulating a development plan. Some plant-savvy people made the mark in advance.”

"That's it!"

Jay felt that his trip was really not in vain. If Boli hadn't told him, he might not have understood these situations in his life!

Occasionally when I go home, my father and mother almost always report good news but not bad news. For example, when my father was bitten by a poisonous insect, if he hadn't clearly noticed that his father's left hand was weak and asked repeatedly, I'm afraid his father would not have told him!

“It’s not easy to open up!”

At this moment, Jay's understanding of the responsibilities of the Magical Affairs Officer deepened. When he originally applied for this position, he thought it would be a task to establish a branch in the territory that was not approved at the previous collective meeting of the Advanced Society.

But it is actually the task of civilianization of magic.

Although he only received the official appointment letter less than an hour ago, Jay already had many ideas in his mind at this moment.

For example, in the morning, my mother was busy in front of the stove alone. If there was a magic stove that allowed ordinary people to easily control the flames at the bottom of the pot, then my mother would not need to run around so much.

If my mother could also use magic items, would she no longer dodge when she saw the look in her eyes when she was wearing a robe?

Similarly, on the frontier of development, if the pioneers can use magic to develop, it will largely avoid direct contact with highly toxic plants and poisonous insects. How many lives can this save?

What's more, by applying the related spells of the Arcane Garden to ordinary fields in the outside world, would it be possible to feed more people with less land?

All kinds of thoughts passed through Jay's mind quickly. At this moment, he no longer had any doubts about his future work, and at the same time, he felt more recognized and proud of his work.

…

A moment later, Boli arrived at the forward command post with Jay and the 36 apprentices from Preparatory Class 8 behind him.

(The Tower of Time apprentice class is divided into three levels - enlightenment, preparation, and trial. The enlightenment class is similar to a preschool class, the preparation class is a regular class, and the trial class starts with a quasi-mage. Graduation = passing the professional exam)

After a simple handover with the person in charge of the forward command post, the 36 apprentices were divided into 12 front-line working groups, with an average of three people per group.

When all the apprentices were led away by their assigned work group leaders, Boli also rolled up his sleeves and received a set of tools from the command post.

Seeing this, Jay quickly asked: "You also want to work?"

"Yes! I still remember that the president once said, 'Practice and lead by example.' If I want these apprentices to accept the identity of ordinary people, wouldn't it be too pale to just rely on words if I don't take the lead?"

"What about me?" Jay asked again.

"There is nothing about Magical Affairs Officer in my teaching tasks, and I don't know what I want you to do. How about you move around freely and do whatever you want." Boli said casually.

After saying that, he took the tools and walked in the direction of one of the 12 working groups just now.

Of course, moral education work is not only about teaching by example, but also by words. Boli already has a lot of experience in this area. He is ready to provide guidance in one working group after another.

…

After Boli left, Jay stayed in the command post and started recording what he saw, heard, and thought on his first day of work on the simple wooden table here.

After finishing writing, he took off his robe, picked up a set of tools and chased Boli.

If you want to explore the issue of civilian use of magic, in addition to having profound magical attainments, you must also have a sufficient understanding of ordinary people's production and life.

In terms of life, Jay has been a commoner since he was a child, and he can easily discover the various pain points in ordinary people's lives.

In terms of production, he caught up with a good era. He was sent to the Tower of Time to learn magic as soon as he came of age. In his adulthood, he was most exposed to domestic labor.

It is still a long way from the real production activities of ordinary people!

At the same time, pioneering in person can also allow him to better understand the hardships his father has put in for the family over the years.

Moreover, Jay believes that moral education classes are not only required for apprentices, but also for every member of the society in the new era.

In practice, we should keep in mind the glorious mission of all members of the Society, and always awaken our original intention to join the Society.

…

front.

When Boli, who was sweating profusely, saw Jay walking towards him wearing only a single coat and carrying tools, his heart suddenly warmed, and he thought that he was indeed here.

Looking at each other, the two of them smiled cheerfully, "Comrade, I'm waiting for you to come and have a big fight."
