Arcane Lord

Of course, the real reason is that Xia Duo's demand for bricks is not high. Linshui Village does need bricks to pave the ground and even build houses and walls, but unlike food, this is not a rigid need.

And when he sees the possibility of technological advancement, he will naturally want to get better. After all, it is just a matter of time.

Returning to the camp, Shado had just taken out his notes from his personal space. He suddenly thought that the environment of Savilland, and even the entire Netheril environment, did not actually encourage innovation, or innovation other than magic.

Even, there is a faint suppression.

Spellcasters are born from ordinary people, but they look down on ordinary people. Spellcasters require the labor of ordinary people, but they suppress the normal development of productivity of ordinary people.

When personal power comes from knowledge, it will inevitably tend to be conservative.

It was hard for Shado to imagine what Netheril would be like if there were no external enemies. Would the caster completely become a god, or would he degenerate into a demon?

In countless ordinary people, Xia Duo saw the prospect of great development and the tragedy of sinking. There were dangers and opportunities, it all depended on how he grasped them.

Suddenly, Xia Duo thought of papermaking again.

…

Ten days later, Sha Duo, who was patrolling the territory, suddenly received a message from Eggberd. The last step of the elemental passage project was about to be completed, and he was invited to visit.

Sha Duo immediately became interested. In fact, all the river channels for the elemental passage had been dug two days ago, and even the river workers were returning to Savile Territory one after another to prepare for the autumn harvest.

The connection between the river channel and the Wolfburg River was dug just yesterday. The water from the Wolfburg River was diverted into the river channel, and an artificial river more than a mile long was created in the forest.

It connects the Wolfburg River to the Mystic Relics, and Shado named it [Linshui River], corresponding to Linshui Village.

It was just that Egbod said that it would take two or three days to prepare before the construction of the elemental channel could be finally completed. Unexpectedly, only one day passed before good news came.

This is indeed good news. Once the elemental passage is built, the riot of the magic network in the Mysterious Ruins will be alleviated. Correspondingly, the Tower of Time will not need to consume so much energy.

Flying all the way to the junction where the Linshui River inserts into the Mystic Lock ruins, Xia Duo discovered that in addition to the seven already familiar arcanists who had participated in the river cleanup before, there were seven or eight more arcane masters this time.

It's just that Egbod and others didn't have a good look on them. They didn't come when they were working, and when they saw that the harvest was coming, they came one by one.

The two sides obviously formed two circles, and Xia Duo didn't like seeing those people, but as a local lord, he couldn't go too far. He greeted them from a distance and came to Egbod's side.

"How's it going? Is there any trouble?" Xia Duo asked with concern.

"Everything goes well, it's just about opening an elemental channel. With the help of Wesley and the others, it will be completed soon." Eggbod said slightly excitedly.

Since the state of the Mystic Lock when it collapsed was different, the final state of the Magic Network in the Mystic Lock ruins was also different. It was rare for the Great Xia leader to only need to build an elemental channel to alleviate the Magic Network riot.

Eggberd has only seen a few cases of this kind of situation in the internal library of [Hidden Hand]. He believes that other people in the organization will definitely rush over after receiving the news here.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Xia Duo with some emotion. What a lucky young man!

Theoretically, all the magic nets within the Mystery Ruins can be repaired, but under normal circumstances, when the magic nets fall into complete silence, except for the [Hidden Hand], basically no one is willing to repair them.

The reason is very simple. Divine grace is not given according to the difficulty of repair, but according to the number of repairs. The repair of the Deadly Demonic Network is too difficult. Except for them, the true supporters of the goddess, who is willing to do these thankless tasks!

And here, the magic network that has been relieved after the riot is the easiest to repair. It can be predicted that it will not take many years for the magic network environment here to be completely restored to normal!

The mage tower left behind by the arcanist, the easy-to-repair magic network, the arcane crystals, and the divine favor. The core of everything is the Daxia leader, and this young man in front of him.

Eggberd once again lamented Shado's good luck, and then he and his companions got into the final work.

…

Chateau came to the river. The water in the Linshui River came from the intrusion of the Wolfburg River. Therefore, after filling the river channel, it seemed particularly calm, not at all lively like the rolling water of the Wolfburg River.

But with the three Egberds from [Hidden Hand] and the four Wesleys who were willing to help, an elemental passage was built at the source of the Linshui River deep into the Mysterious Ruins.

A large whirlpool close to the width of the river appeared at the source of the Linshui River. Fortunately, that section of the river was transformed into stone by the spells of several arcanists. Otherwise, a large amount of sediment might be rolled up, causing both banks to collapse.

But now, despite the rapid rotation of the vortex, it did not affect both sides of the strait at all. Xia Duo watched all this with envy in his heart.

The spell [Turn mud into stone] is also available in the Tower of Time, but this spell requires at least a 5-level spellcasting ability, which is not what he can do now!

As for asking these arcanists to make bricks for him, it's a no-brainer, it's simply impossible. If it were Xia Duo himself, if he had the ability to [turn mud into stone] now, he would not be willing to do such a thing.

Of course, his thoughts may be different from those of these arcanists, which may be based on the pride of spell casters, but Shado does not have the so-called pride of spell casters. He simply thinks that he cannot leave, and he has more important things to do. things to do.

Rather than being a human brick-making machine.

Maybe there will be specialized construction mages in the future!

Thinking about this, Xia Duo feels that every type of job on earth can have a mage version. On that day, mage may no longer be a separate profession, but become an academic title similar to college students and high school students.

Perhaps that's when magical civilization truly reaches the level of "civilization."

…

"boom--"

A loud noise interrupted Xia Duo's reverie. The whirlpool at the source of Linshui River suddenly turned into a spring larger than two people's arms. The rolling spring water kept rising, reaching half a person's height!

"The proportion of water element is much higher than expected, Egbod, use the backup plan!" Master Olins noticed the abnormality and ordered without hesitation.

And Egbod also understands that the situation is urgent. Even though there is only a small amount of spring flowing now, at this time, the pressure outlet of the entire Mystery Ruins, who knows what will happen later!

The best result is that the pressure drops suddenly, the Magic Network instantly falls into dead silence, and all the previous work is in vain. The worst result is that the Magic Network riots intensify and cover a wider area.

Egbod is not sure about the others, but the three people here in [Hidden Hand] cannot escape the consequences of the retreat of divine grace. Not to mention that the work here is in vain, even the previous decades of hard work will be over. Dissipated.
