Arcane Lord

To this, Xia Duo’s answer was——

"The largest number of people in Netheril are ordinary people, or in other words, it is a group of ordinary people who make up Netheril. Isn't it what every lord should do to care about ordinary people!"

In his opinion, these spell casters are just the lucky ones among ordinary people, not even geniuses. After all, many geniuses may not even have the opportunity to come into contact with magic, and are drowned in endless pressure to survive. .

"Yes, this is indeed what every lord should do!" Yerevan also agreed.

In his heart, there is actually another sentence hidden in his heart, that is - magic cannot save Netheril!

The more advanced magic becomes, the more alienated Netheril may become.

However, Yerevan saw the shadow of light in Sha Duo, and he always felt that the other party still had something that he did not say clearly.

"By the way, Lord Xia Duo, has your territory already realized the cooperative mentioned in this "Agricultural Book"?"

"Not yet. My territory is still in the development stage. I will not establish a cooperative until the relevant conditions are suitable."

After saying that, Xia Duo silently added in his heart that this day is not far away!

Yerevan seemed very surprised by this. He originally thought that cooperatives had been implemented in Shado's territory, and what was mentioned in this "Agricultural Book" should be suggestions, not just an idea.

This made him somewhat disappointed. He originally wanted to go to the southern border to see the effects of the establishment of the cooperative in person!

…

Next, Yerevan asked some more questions about cooperatives, and Shado answered them one by one.

But I don’t know if it was because Shado said that there was no cooperative in his territory, Yerevan’s interest was much weaker than at the beginning, and he did not talk about any topics related to the ascension of gods.

When the east began to turn white, the two ended their conversation.

Jenna personally escorted Sha Duo to the door and revealed: "Master Yerevan has a very good impression of you. Most masters would not chat with him for so long."

Sha Duo nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he didn't care whether he could get benefits from the Yerevan master. He cared more about the master's attitude towards him.

After all, if the other party wanted to help him, even with his identity and strength, he might not be able to help him much, at least not more than Iolum.

But if you want to do something bad, it might just be a matter of words.

Now with this result, Sha Duo is already very satisfied, "By the way, I haven't asked President Jenna yet, how do you know Master Yerevan?"

When it came to this, the expression on Jenna's face was a little subtle, but she did not refuse to answer, but the answer she gave was a little beyond Sha Duo's expectations:

"The master said that he was my great-great-grandfather, but he couldn't tell how many generations exactly. Even before today, I didn't know that I had such an ancestor."

This is so!

Xia Duo really didn't expect this. After all, the two look very different. One of them looks almost the same as a moon elf, and he also has blue hair, which is relatively rare among moon elves.

And what about Jenna?

With pure human appearance and long bright golden hair, the two of them don't look like they are related by blood.

However, Xia Duo didn't have much doubt about Jenna's answer. If he really wanted to make it up, there was no need to make up such outrageous lies.

And according to Sha Duo's understanding, although Jenna's family was not at the lowest level, her father was just an ordinary clerk.

As the saying goes, "The beauty of a gentleman is cut off in five lifetimes." Perhaps Master Yerevan had many heirs, and heirs begat heirs. By Jenna's father's generation, the elven bloodline had long been thin, and the kinship relationship had long been weak.

Moreover, Master Yerevan lived in an era when the concept of family surnames had not yet emerged, so the possibility that the master’s descendants would not know their ancestors was not small.

Especially when Master Yerevan still needs to hide.

Even now, the vast majority of Nese people only have one name, and only lords or archmages who have been famous for a long time and have flourished will deliberately choose a surname.

Without a surname, ordinary people may not know who their ancestors are after two or three generations.

…

After knowing such news, Xia Duo felt strange in his heart. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Fortunately, it was time to leave now, otherwise he would have been left alone.

Back at Azure Manor, it was already dark, and Xia Duo did not rest anymore, but hurriedly designed the two fine magic items customized by Fitch and Aldrin.

It was not until the afternoon that everything was designed, and then came the process of trial production, testing, and adjustments.

I don’t know if it was because the news of the exchange meeting spread. The day after the meeting, good news came from Ava. A team of senior adventurers was interested in customizing a high-quality protective magic item.

It's just that their captain hasn't returned to Severton yet, so this matter is just a private inquiry among a few teammates.

In this regard, Xia Duo's reply to Aiwa was - try to talk as much as possible. Even if the other party gives up, there is no need for any additional remedies, redemption, or even threats.

Although adventurers have money, there may not be many adventurers who can really save money and spend a lot of money to customize high-quality magic items.

Xia Duo puts his hopes more in Jilan Tower. Most of the bloodline families are wealthy. As long as they can open a gap, they might be able to earn back a floating city!

Xia Duo is looking forward to it!

…

Soon, three days passed.

This morning, Sha Duo was having breakfast in the restaurant of Azure Garden Villa, while Ava was reporting on what he had learned in the past two days:

"Sir, the "Agricultural Book" has been spread in Severton, and many lords are preparing to increase production according to the methods in the book. However, today's spring sowing has passed, and even if they want to try, they can only wait until autumn sowing. "

"It doesn't matter, just give them some time to experiment."

Xia Duo knew very well that unless the private arcane gardens of various lords immediately increased their production, it would be difficult to make up for the two consecutive seasons of reduced food production.

But not every lord has an arcane garden built in a demiplane like the Tower of Time, and a large amount of surplus food is sold for normal production.

The arcane gardens of those lords - if they exist - without spatial expansion, there is a high probability that they will only be enough for the people in the mage tower.

There is nothing Xia Duo can do about this problem. Even if he asks the Arcane Garden of the Tower of Time to increase production desperately, it may not be able to make up for the two-season decrease in production in the entire mainland.

However, human beings always have a certain degree of resilience. If it's just two seasons, I can probably endure it for a while.

As long as there are no surprises during this year's autumn sowing, it will be fine.

"What about the cooperative? Is there any lord ready to establish it?" Xia Duo asked again.

"I haven't heard the exact news, but many people are curious about what kind of effects the cooperative will have after it is established, including the nearby lords."

Xia Duo was not surprised by this result. How could he have all the mainland lords follow him with just one book?

If that's the case, wouldn't it be more convenient to compile it directly?

For Xia Duo, as long as someone is willing to try, it is a good start.
