Arcane Lord

"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

"Xia Duo, what is going on at the Mysuo Ruins?"

what's the situation? Xia Duo was stunned. He could see Lord Epps playing with communication tools every day. If he said that he did not contact Niya, Xia Duo would not believe it.

"Teacher, I don't know much about the mystery lock. I only know what Master Epps is studying." Sha Duo said cautiously.

"Xia Duo, I'm asking about my father, how is he now?"

Although Niya's voice pretended to be calm, Xia Duo still heard very obvious panic and uneasiness. After all, she was just a little girl in her early twenties. Xia Duo's tone also softened a lot:

"Teacher, Mr. Epps is not in a good condition. He is very manic, as if he has accumulated endless anger."

Niya was silent. Combining her father's previous communication with her and Sha Duo's description, she felt that her father might have confirmed the existence of the plane crystal, but was unable to obtain it.

This judgment made Niya even more worried. Before her father left, she made an agreement with her that he would definitely come back before Midsummer Festival, but in this situation, the agreement may not be fulfilled!

Although the plane crystal is important, it is not as important as her father. Niya does not want her father to take risks. Once the mystery lock collapses and attracts the elf mage, it will be difficult to end it.

At this moment, Niya was extremely confused and completely forgot about Xia Duo on the other side of the communication device.

"Mentor, mentor?" Xia Duo called twice, but there was no reply. Looking at the communication device again, it was still in the link state.

Well, it's broken.

Xia Duo shook his head and put away the communication weapon. It would be better for him to get less involved in this kind of thing.

Here, the people Leiden called have been coming one after another——

The territorial residents, slaves, Langasian Dongzhi, and the Qiaoqin team who were on guard around the camp, as well as the Gibb team who had not yet gone out to hunt the wild beasts.

When these people came to the altar, they all consciously arranged themselves according to their respective working groups. Although the team was still a bit loose, compared to being in a mess, this kind of order was quite good.

No one asked them to do this, but they did it anyway, which shows that order has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but look at Leiden. Without him, Xia Duo would have been in a lot more trouble!

"Commons, have you seen the wooden house behind you? Tell me loudly, have you seen it?"

"I saw it!" everyone shouted in unison.

"This is just the beginning. In the future, there will be houses, livestock, land, women, gold coins, and even magic!"

Xia Duo's eyes scanned the crowd. Every time he said a promise, everyone's eyes would light up. They would only dim slightly when he said magic.

It seems that his subjects do not believe that he can bring magic to them, but Xia Duo's words are not casual. There are not many thresholds to become a mage apprentice, and he can even forcefully teach a formal mage.

If these people can really follow him and stand until the end, then what's the harm in promising them a little magic power!

"Cade, get out of the queue!"

A loyal and honest strong man in the crowd looked around and couldn't believe that the lord actually called him, but he did not dare to neglect the lord's order.

He took a few steps forward and came to Xia Duo.

Looking at the loyal and honest appearance of the strong man in front of him, Xia Duo naturally did not judge people by their appearance. He had been an adventurer and a port porter, and he was willing to follow him to explore this unknown land.

He didn't think this man was really that loyal and honest, but Xia Duo looked at people not by what they thought, but by what they did. This Cade had been working hard since he arrived in the territory, never being lazy at all.

On Leiden's evaluation list, there was no item that was not "excellent" in Cade. Since he was willing to work hard, it was natural for Chateau to show his performance.

"Cade, you work hard and have outstanding performance. I will allocate this first wooden house to you in the name of Daxia! In addition, you will be rewarded with 10 pounds of dried meat and promoted to the leader of the working group!"

Cade plopped and fell to his knees, "Thank you, sir, Cade will swear allegiance to you to the death!"

"Get up! Let everyone take a good look at you! As long as you work hard and obey orders, everything I said before will come true, including magic!"

After dismissing everyone, Xia Duo retained Qiao Qi's group. They were territorial citizens and territorial soldiers. Compared with ordinary territorial citizens, they had fixed wages.

However, Xia Duo was still worried that their mentality would be unbalanced due to the problem of the house, so he stayed to comfort them.

After the soldiers also left, Xia Duo called Leiden and ordered: "Adjust the previous plan and build the barracks first."

"Yes, sir."

"As for my residence -" Shado hesitated for a moment before making a decision, "I will let the Liaton Chamber of Commerce find craftsmen from the Saville Territory to build it."

In fact, not only the craftsmen but also the materials had to be bought and transported from Savile Territory. The only stone that could be mined on a large scale near Daxia Territory was the place where the goblins were cleared after the initial landing.

There is no way to open up there yet, and besides, there are many places where stones and other materials will be used in the future. You can never have too much. It will be easier to just buy ready-made ones this time.

"By the way, arrange for two smarter slaves to follow Dongzhi. I promise that as long as they learn how the Langas people train hounds, I will promote them to official subjects."

If you can avoid signing the sacred contract, it's better not to sign it. After all, Xia Duo is still worried about Dongzhi. In addition, he has entrusted the almost cooperative chamber of commerce to search for Langas people. Dongzhi's role has suddenly become much smaller. .

All that is left is to train hounds, but this is not just Dongzhi. There are dog trainers in Savile Territory. In addition, Daxia Territory already has three Langas hounds, and there are more than a dozen local Savile Territory. hound.

Although the latter still needs further training, it is almost enough.

In this way, the biggest role of Dongzhi is dispensable, why bother to bind yourself with a sacred contract!

Of course, it would be another matter if Dongzhi could train Langas hounds.

…

Back at the small camp, Xia Duo took out his spell book and continued to study [Levitation Technique]. Xia Duo had already started learning it when he was on the boat with Lord Epps.

These days, he has also tried [Levitation Spell] personally. Overall, this spell is indeed very similar to the [Flying Spell] he expected, but the experience is too bad.

It can only move up and down at an extremely slow speed, up to a maximum of 10 meters.

However, in the book "[Levitation Technique] from Beginner to Mastery" written by Lord Epps, various applications of [Levitation Technique] are introduced, including being a simple substitute for [Flying Technique].

Only some elements of this spell need to be adjusted to realize the minimalist function of [Flying Technique], and even provide a certain foundation for the subsequent study of [Flying Technique].

Of course, this step is not easy to do.

The reason why a spell book is just a spell book, not a learning scroll, is that the spell book only has a general idea and very few examples of elements.

There are no specific and complete spell elements!

Everything needs to be researched by Xia Duo himself.
