Arcane Lord

After the Midsummer Festival, everything is calm again, except for some changes that have occurred or are occurring, which are quietly changing people's lives.

At noon that day, Sha Duo and Niya finished lunch and were about to head to the blue crystal plane together, but suddenly received feedback from the tower spirit, saying that an airship was spotted approaching in the northern sky.

Sha Duo was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly said to Niya: "The mithril led by Leisen has arrived, as well as the small airship. Now the [Daxia-Saville Passage] can finally be officially opened!"

"Yeah." Niya also looked happy.

In fact, according to her idea, it is enough to have ground soldiers patrolling, not to mention that now there are flying armors, which can be activated first.

But Xia Duo said that flying armor is more suitable for short-distance maneuvers and is not suitable for long-distance rapid reinforcements. It is necessary to wait a little longer for a mobile station in the air.

Now that the blimp has arrived, both of them feel relieved.

For the handover or something, this time there is no need for Shado and Niya to come forward in person. Depak happens to be at Spire No. 1, so just ask him to come forward to receive it.

Xia Duo just informed the Territory Guard to send out a temporary mission and drive a large airship to pick up the small airship. As for the mithril being temporarily stored in Spire No. 1, there would be no problem.

"I've already informed Layton. Do you want to inform Mayor Thain? I think even if the forest passage is opened, there needs to be a process."

"What are you going to do?"

"This passage will first be opened to soldiers from both places for daily training and cleanup tasks, then gradually opened to adventurers, and finally opened to ordinary people."

What Xia Duo was thinking was that after careful combing by soldiers and adventurers, there were at most a few fish that slipped through the passage and it was relatively safe for ordinary people.

After all, although he arranged patrols, he couldn't really let elite soldiers equipped with airships, flying armors, and other magic items go around wiping their butts.

In fact, even if it is a patrol mission, it is only temporary. Their real responsibility is to deal with emergencies involving spellcasters internally, similar to the armed police in Sha Duo's hometown.

It's just that the number of spellcasters in the territory is now small and the proportion is low, and most of them are concentrated in the Tower of Time. This spellbreaker guard has little use for the time being, but it will be different in the future.

As the population of the territory continues to grow and magic education continues to become more popular, it is impossible for the Tower of Time to recruit all spellcasters. There will definitely be a large number of spellcasters outside the Tower of Time.

Although they are still restricted by the Daxia Code, if illegal crimes occur, should ordinary people from the public security station be required to investigate?

This requires more professional law enforcement personnel who can deal with spellcasters, and this is where the spellbreakers come in.

By then, this team will most likely be placed under the establishment of the Public Security Bureau, but of course this is a story for another day.

…

Two days later, the [Daxia-Saville Passage] was officially opened.

This passage is adjacent to Codex Square. Strictly speaking, it starts from the Tower of Time and extends north to the White Sheep Village and Gray Rabbit Village in the southernmost part of Savile Territory.

The total length is 25 miles and the width is 500 meters. Of course, the part actually paved with street bricks is only about 100 meters, and the side is more used as a buffer zone and for future expansion.

If there is only a road of two or three meters, ordinary people will have no time to react to the beast that suddenly jumps out of the forest and attacks, let alone wait for the support of the patrol team.

Being attacked is basically a dead end, but the road is spacious like this, and you can avoid it in time if you see it from a distance. Under normal circumstances, as long as you run hard, you can get rid of the beast without even the need for patrol support.

Valley

After all, people in this era are not as pampered as modern people. It is not difficult to outrun some common beasts on a flat masonry road.

On the day the road was opened, Chateau personally came to the site to participate in a brief opening ceremony. Then 100 territorial soldiers lined up in two rows under the command of their captain and marched north in an orderly manner.

Listening to the almost integrated "tap-tap" sound, Xia Duo really felt excited. For this road, the Territory Logistics Department continued to improve the brick-making process and widened the middle section of the Wolfsburg River by nearly one meter before firing. There are so many pavement bricks.

This many bricks are enough to pave dozens of codex squares!

Compared with this masonry road, which is a miracle in the current era, the Tower of Time at the end of the road pales in comparison.

After all, judging from the surface, the Tower of Time is just a stone tower less than 100 meters long, and the width of this [Bactria-Saville Passage] is hundreds of meters wide just in terms of masonry.

Not to mention the length, it's almost impossible to see the end at a glance.

And all of this was done by ordinary people in the Territory Logistics Department. Except for Xia Duo making some suggestions at the beginning, he basically ignored it later.

It really feels like giving ordinary people a chance and a miracle will be returned to you.

…

"Leiden, how long do you think it will take before ordinary people can move around freely?"

At this time, Leiden was also looking at the north with excitement on his face. Compared to Xia Duo, who did not often appear in the territory, this road was developed and built bit by bit by him.

In his opinion, this road is simply the pinnacle of order and organization. With the construction of the road bit by bit and the various changes taking place in the territory, he no longer has any confusion about the future promised by the lord.

"It depends on how determined you are."

"How to say?"

"If your Excellency personally takes action to sort out the Green Pearl Forest, this passage will immediately allow ordinary people to travel."

"That won't work!"

Xia Duo shook his head. It wasn't that he was incapable of doing it, but - "If I take care of everything by myself, then what else should others do? Am I planning this road just to benefit the people of the two places?" Are you going back and forth?”

Leiden was silent. As the territorial governor, of course he knew the true meaning of this road. The so-called convenience of residents from the two places was just a layer of the reason. The real purpose was to penetrate the Daxia order into Saville through this road. leadership, and ultimately led to the integration of the two places.

If it were not for this purpose, in fact, just buying a few more boats for public transportation would be enough to allow people to travel between the two places.

Speaking of which, after the population of Daxia Territory has expanded many times, the proportion of people originally from Savile Territory has dropped to a very low proportion. Is it possible to build such a road just for such a small number of people?

"If everything goes well, ordinary people may be able to travel before the snow comes this year." Leiden roughly gave a time.

"Where's the new village? Are you ready?" Xia Duo asked again.

"Everything is ready. We have trained the new village residents before the field granting ceremony. They know how to do it. In fact, we don't have to do anything at all. It is enough to let the people in the north see our real life. "

"It doesn't matter, it's better to be prepared than not."
