Arcane Lord

Floating city, planting area.

In fact, the initial area here is far less than the surface area of ​​the floating city, because there is an outer protective layer on the outside of the planting area, and the material carrier of war spells is in that area.

In addition, in Xia Duo's plan, there will also be something like a "carrier-based aircraft warehouse" and an "arms reserve" there.

In addition to agricultural responsibilities, the planting area can actually be used as a buffer zone. The further inside the floating city, the more important it becomes. They are the residential area, public area, education area, research area, and the middlemost middle area. control area.

The main energy center of the Floating City is the absolute center of the Floating City, but there are four relatively independent subsidiary energy centers in the education area.

Among them, the former mainly supplies various infrastructures of the floating city, such as flight control system, repair and maintenance system, protection system, etc.

The four affiliated energy centers provide other consumption for various functional areas of the floating city, such as research laboratories, schools, residential areas, commercial areas, etc.

Similar to the distinction between industrial electricity, residential electricity and commercial electricity in Xia Duo's hometown.

Although arcane energy will be very cheap in the foreseeable future, the process of delivering arcane energy to every user is not necessarily cheap, and charges will be justified.

After all, if you want to maintain a healthy and continuous operation of a system, money is an ideal lubricant, and the flow of money means the operation of the system.

The more money flow lines there are, the more prosperous the system is.

If there are no fees, then the system will lose a channel to collect money upwards. At least one is irrelevant, but it is related to the concept of governance. If this is free, then the system or the operation of civilization will not be healthy.

In the same way, money gathered at the upper levels cannot be left unused forever, otherwise it will become a pool of stagnant water and needs to be transferred to the lower levels in various forms, such as investing in infrastructure construction, lowering loan interest rates, and even direct subsidies, etc.

A major branch of ancient philosophy in Chateau's hometown is related to movement and advocates harmony. In a sense, this simple philosophy sometimes allows modern people to penetrate the confusion and get to the essence of things.

The sages once said, "Ruling a big country is like cooking small dishes." In Xia Duo's view, its original intention is not to do nothing, but to pay attention to nature. The so-called "take it from the people", then naturally it is necessary to "use it for the people", how simple the opinion of.

"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"

It is still applicable to complex modern society. It is just that the form of "taking" and "using" has changed and increased compared to ancient times, but the principle is still the same.

In fact, the phrase "take it from the people and use it for the people" already expresses the core concept of kingly governance.

Politically, power comes from the people, so it needs to represent the interests of the people; militarily, the people's army naturally fights for the people, and culturally, there is also the theory of people's literature and art.

Sha Duo believes in the power of the people. Although the unawakened people may not be able to form any power yet, as long as he is given time, he will discover this unparalleled power and use it to transform the world.

…

In the planting area, while Xia Duo was synchronizing the class committee, he was also chatting with Savile about the next development.

Of course, it is impossible for him to talk to Savile about the "vast ocean of people's war" at this stage. What he can talk about are basically some specific medium and long-term plans.

For example, when it came to popularizing magic education in the Daxia Territory and Savile Territory, Sha Duo originally thought that Savile would not be very willing to do so even if he did not object to it. But who knew that the other party would be more enlightened and even radical than he imagined.

"Teacher has wanted to do this for a long time, but now - no, I mean the Seven Towers I had at that time are no longer the original Seven Towers, and they are even worse now!"

Savile expressed his dissatisfaction with the Seven Towers almost unabashedly, and then Sha Duo remembered that the "old man" in front of him was actually nearly a hundred years old.

According to Shado's understanding, Netheril a hundred years ago was relatively open-minded on magic and other issues. At least the Netherese scrolls were placed in the Arcane Federation. Even civilians had the opportunity to go in and take a look. Of course, they could understand it. It's something else.

As for the first seven towers, Shado didn't know much, but it was conceivable that Savile was talking about the situation when the Nese people had just given up on elven magic. In order to gain the ability to fight against elves as quickly as possible, Naturally, relevant knowledge cannot always be locked in a secret room.

At least some of them must be released to select talented people. Otherwise, how efficient can human mages be with just some initial elven magic systems?

However, as the Nese magic system gradually improved, the forerunners gradually closed the door to the latecomers. Even if not all were closed, the gap was very obvious compared to the beginning.

"By the way, when you passed through the Holy Golden Dragon Empire before, did you notice that there was magic education there?"

“Of course I’ve noticed it, or it’s hard not to notice it!”

Speaking of this topic, Savile couldn't help but reveal a recalling and complicated look on his face, and then said in a heavy tone: "At the center of every city in the Holy Golden Dragon Empire is a magic academy! Even the subordinate races can enter and study there. If not I was worried about being tracked to the main plane, so I wanted to go in for further training!”

"Didn't you say before that the subordinate races would be transformed into dragons?" Sha Duo asked again.

"Yes! In our opinion, this may be an insult, but in the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, this is the supreme honor. Whether they are elves, humans, dwarves, or goblins, they all strive for this. final goal!"

"There are goblins there too? Haven't I heard you say that before?"

"Of course there is, but the goblins there are taller and burlier than the goblins on the main plane, almost as tall as humans! They are also smarter! I have seen a goblin mage who has obtained the incarnation of a dragon!" Savile said with a sigh. .

"The incarnation of the dragon is the supreme glory that transforms the dragon clan?"

"Yes."

"Then do you think there is a possibility that the goblins in the main plane become so thin due to malnutrition?"

"I don't know about that! But it's really hard for me to connect the goblins in the main plane with the great goblins in the Holy Golden Dragon Empire."

Somehow, the topic of their chat gradually shifted from the popularization of education to the powerful Holy Golden Dragon Empire in a foreign land. Sha Duo asked Savile many questions, but his impression of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire was always like a veil, looming. , I can’t see it clearly.

At the end of the sentence, Sha Duo suddenly said, "Then Savile, are you willing to stay in the Tower of Time and help me?"

Savile was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Am I not helping you now?"

"That's right! I'm too persistent."
