Arcane Lord

In the lord's study, Niya sat behind the desk in high spirits, with a smile on her lips. After Xia Duo came and sat down, she was still cheerful.

It seemed that reading [Scroll of Resistance] really benefited her a lot, so much so that she almost forgot about it.

cough--

"Teacher, I am ready to return to the territory."

As he spoke, Xia Duo took a few steps forward, took out the robe and headband that Niya had lent him before from the dimensional bag, and placed them on her desk, "Also, these equipment are now returned to the mentor."

Niya pulled the robe toward her, stretched out her hand to caress it gently, and said in a leisurely tone, "No hurry, why haven't you answered the questions when you returned to the Tower of Time this time? I'm free all day today."

Um? Sha Duo murmured in his heart. He did have a lot of problems now, but he didn't know whether his progress would scare Niya. He had too many ideas about the third-ring spell.

After thinking about it for a while, he said after careful consideration: "Teacher, I have been in the projection plane for a long time, and I have finished studying the "Intermediate Arcane Geometry"."

This is indeed the case, and it goes deeper. However, the end of the "Intermediate Arcane Geometry" is written with "To be continued".

Niya said before: Proficient in intermediate arcane geometry before the intermediate level, and proficient in advanced arcane geometry before the high level, is almost the only way to become an arcanist.

And Xia Duo is now at the intermediate level, and he doesn't know whether he has reached the level of proficiency. If not, he still has to make up for the lessons.

After hearing Xia Duo's answer, Niya was a little surprised, but then she showed a stunned expression. She stretched out her hand, a white light flashed, and a book appeared in her hand.

Xia Duo glanced at it and saw "Intermediate Arcane Geometry" written on it, and he was convinced.

Sure enough, Niya pointed her hand and the book floated towards him, and at the same time said: "It seems that you have gained a lot from the projection plane. This is another part of "Intermediate Arcane Geometry". Next time you come over, I’ll answer your questions again.”

Well--

Regarding the matter of projection plane, Xia Duo was not easy to answer. He took the book and said, "Yes!"

"Then mentor, I'll leave first. I'm not worried about the territory."

"Well, go ahead."

Niya waved her hand and was about to put away the robes and headbands on the table. As if she thought of something, she quickly called out to Sha Duo, "Wait!"

"Teacher, do you have any other instructions?" Sha Duo turned around and looked at Niya.

"Did you buy your dimensional bag at the Austrian Law Federation?" Niya asked.

"Yes, mentor."

"Just a reminder, it's best not to put valuables in a dimensional bag, especially not in a dimensional bag that you didn't make yourself."

Um? Xia Duo subconsciously touched the dimensional bag in his arms. Could it be——

"Could the maker of the dimensional bag steal what I put in it?"

"That's right." Niya nodded, "This is not a secret among mid-level mages, but normally, even if the maker wants to steal the items in the dimensional bag, he has to pay a certain price. You just need to Just don’t put valuables in there.”

"..."

Xia Duo suddenly wanted to learn how to make a dimensional bag. The bag itself could be sold for money. If someone put the treasure in it, it would be a huge profit.

However, this kind of thing cannot be done often. If the reputation becomes bad, no one will buy it.

No wonder the manager at the Austrian Law Federation deliberately emphasized that it was a masterpiece of a certain master and asked him for 2,000 gold coins even if it was just a second-hand product.

This should be similar to having insurance.

However, no matter how good the insurance is, it cannot be absolutely safe. Fortunately, Xia Duo bought the dimensional bag just as a decoration to cover up the space he carries with him.

"I understand, thank you, instructor, for reminding me."

…

Next, Xia Duo spent two days transcribing the "Intermediate Arcane Geometry", and then took the "Lucky Owen" that had been waiting at the port to go to Daxia Territory.

It took a little longer to return to the Tower of Time this time. Not counting the more than a year in the projection plane, nearly ten days had passed in the main plane alone.

When returning to Daxia Territory on the "Lucky Owen", Xia Duo was still worried about the situation there, fearing that the less than 100 people in the territory would be eaten by trolls.

After the trolls that attacked last time were eliminated, Xia Duo did not search too far. It was foreseeable that there must be trolls near the territory.

Even if there are no trolls, there must be goblins. Who knows if there will be a few bugbears mutated in there, that would be bad enough.

In addition, other beasts, snakes and insects in the forest are threatening the lives of the people in the forest almost all the time, and I don't know if Priest Leiden can deal with them.

From the Saville Territory to the Bactrian Territory, and going down the Wolfburg River, Shado stood on the bow of the boat and looked ahead, his eyes vacant, and all kinds of mysterious changes in his mind.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh and said, "Sure enough, daydreams are useless. We still need to practice more and experiment more!"

Practice brings true knowledge, and it is also applicable in the magical world. On the ship, Xia Duo could only conduct some simple magic network observation experiments, memorize spells, speculate on theories, and copy scrolls.

…

Half a day later, the "Lucky Owen" arrived at the temporary camp landing point of the Great Xia Territory. From a distance, Xia Duo saw the achievements of the territorial residents over the past few days——

The land between the Altar of the Lord of Glory to the north and the temporary camp has been thoroughly cleaned up. The ground is full of scorched marks and is connected with the temporary camp to the north.

Although it is not very beautiful, it represents pioneering and civilization.

According to Xia Duo's plan, the "Linshui Village" will be built with the altar as the center. Now only the north part of the altar has been opened up, which is about the size of a football field.

However, it is already possible to plan a residence.

As soon as we got off the boat, Leiden came to report, "Sir, you have been away for ten days this time. According to the plan you left, I have cleared all the land from the north of the altar to the camp."

"Well, are any of the people in the territory lazy? Where are the slaves?" Xia Duo asked.

"No, all the people in the territory are very motivated. As for the slaves-" Leighton hesitated and replied: "The other slaves were very peaceful, but two slaves tried to escape, but were intercepted by Captain George's men. Be still, I have judged them before the altar.”

Xia Duo frowned, not because of Leiden's trial, after all, he had given the authorization a long time ago, but because there were only 26 slaves in total, and two of them escaped!

According to Xia Duo's previous order, if a slave team member commits a crime, the team leader will also be punished, and there is only one punishment for slaves, which is death.

Xia Duo felt quite distressed to lose three laborers at once, but he had to do it, alas——

"You did a good job!" Sha Duo praised and walked towards the altar, with Leiden following closely behind.

It is only one or two hundred meters from the landing point to the altar. It is narrower in the east-west direction, only thirty or forty meters, and reaches the river bank in the west.

At this moment, the citizens and slaves are lining up in a line from south to north, cleaning up eastward. Due to the different efficiency of each person, this line is crooked. Generally speaking, it can be seen that the efficiency of the citizens is higher.

"Sir, you mentioned last time that the food of the backward people group is not even as good as that of slaves. Everyone is holding back their enthusiasm." As they walked, Leiden introduced.

Sha Duo compared the situation in the territory and listened carefully. Although in Leiden's eyes he had only been away for 10 days, in Sha Duo's own timeline, he had been gone for more than a year.

Everything in the territory is fresh and a little familiar. As Leiden explains, he is quickly recovering his memory of the territory.

After a while, the two came to the altar. Three corpses were hung on a crooked tree south of the altar. They died tragically.
