Arcane Lord

Xia Duo briefly browsed through the citizen information, but did not read them all. He just focused on some of the information that Leiden had marked. After that, he picked up another information on the desk.

This is also a piece of information that Shado is more concerned about - information about the customs, strange legends and other information about the various territories of Netheril that were dictated by the previous group of territorial residents and compiled and recorded by Leiden.

Although the civilian perspective is not comprehensive, he prefers this simple, almost unmodified description to the occasionally biased descriptions from the casters looking down in the Tower of Time.

Of course, no matter which one it is, it can provide Shado with a different perspective on Netheril. The combination of the two can give him a more comprehensive view.

However, the information collected by the Tower of Time is still somewhat sparse, and there is almost no information specifically introducing the territory. After all, most of the information on the territory comes from mage biographies, travel notes, etc. Most of them are side descriptions, and sometimes there are only a few words.

Now that he has the information compiled from the dictation of the citizens, Xia Duo can't wait to stuff this thick stack of documents into his mind at once.

Thinking of stuffing the words into his mind, Xia Duo suddenly remembered that when the princess came to inspect before, he gave the princess the "Great Xia Territory Standard Development Manual". The princess took the manual, as if using some kind of magic, and immediately Know what's in the manual.

At that time, he was a little nervous when the princess was in front of him. He never thought about it afterwards. Now that he thinks about it, maybe there is a technology (magic) to stuff books and words into his mind.

You can also find an opportunity to talk to Niya about this and see if she can find relevant information in Giles Tower.

If he can learn this spell, then he will no longer need to be a human photocopier when he goes to the projection plane. It would be really fun to directly use him as a human scanner!

But now Xia Duo is not a human flesh scanner, so he can only slowly check it word by word.

After a while, the last ray of sunset slowly disappeared from the window, and the sky gradually darkened. Xia Duo put away the unread materials, ate something briefly, and went out again.

…

Disappearing, Xia Duo flew into the sky and looked towards the ground. From time to time, loud shouts such as "Working Group 26 can go back to eat!" were heard in his ears.

At the same time, in the direction of the canteen, groups of people were coming and going in an orderly manner. Xia Duo probably knew that the number of people in the territory was increasing, and the original canteen was now very out of date.

The residents were now finishing work in batches, returning, collecting food, and going home. After watching for a while, Xia Duo flew towards the perimeter again. Several groups of soldiers who had been training outside were retracting their defense lines for night vigilance.

After that, Xia Duo flew around the miniature lake on the other side of the element channel. There was no change here from the last time he came. Of course, if there were changes, then he would doubt the quality of the [Hidden Hand] project. !

He reached out and fished a handful from the spring of the elemental fountain. The small stones he had put in before had become somewhat transparent. Xia Duo couldn't help but exclaimed, "Huh——"

He quickly summoned a light ball to illuminate the small stone in his hand. Although dark vision allowed him to see things in the dark, it only changed into black and white and gray, and many elements were lost.

Under normal light, this pebble is not only a little transparent, but also a little blue. It is really transforming into a gem!

This elemental fountain, including the miniature lake, was built by the arcanists led by the Axos priests of the [Hidden Hand].

At that time, the other party promised that this would be a permanent landscape, and even if the chaotic area of ​​​​the Demon Network within the Mysuo Ruins was completely repaired, it would not disappear.

Moreover, in the spring of the elemental fountain, a gem with a water element tendency can be transformed every once in a while. Even after the chaotic area of ​​​​the magic network is completely repaired, the output will only be lower.

Sha Duo is not optimistic about this. After all, even if the five-color gems are converted through the element pool of the Mage Tower, the time span will be very long. As far as he knows, many Mage Towers, including the Tower of Time and the Giles Tower, have There is no modification of the elemental pool so that it can transform gems.

Only some low-end mage towers are heard to produce gems. Normal mage towers have too many ways to obtain gems, and it is not worth affecting the element pool for this.

The most critical issue is the output. If the output is extremely high, it would be a good idea to build a mage tower specifically for producing gems, but Sha Duo has never heard of such a mage tower.

Now this elemental fountain has been built for almost a year, and it has not completely converted a pebble into a gem. With this efficiency, if you really expect to get back the money, you don't know how long you have to wait!

Xia Duo felt a little sorry for the 100,000 gold coins he had paid for this elemental fountain. Although the construction fees had not yet been paid, the one-year delivery deadline was coming soon. As soon as he thought about the 100,000 gold coins equivalent of materials, he would be away from him. When he left, he was extremely reluctant to leave.

"My one hundred thousand gold coins!"

Of course, the main purpose of building this permanent landscape is to prevent the elemental channels here from transforming into the Dead Zone of the Magic Network after the chaotic area of ​​the Magic Network is repaired.

The reason why the elemental passage is built is to alleviate the riots of the magic network in the Mysterious Ruins, to facilitate the repair by external arcanists, and to reduce the pressure on the Tower of Time from the outside world, indirectly increasing its energy reserve speed.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo suddenly felt that he didn't need to pay for the money at all.

Although the Mysterious Ruins, Elemental Passage, Elemental Fountain and Lake Landscape are all in his territory, and all decisions are made by him, it is not all for the Tower of Time!

But then I thought about it, didn't the Tower of Time also belong to him? Even though he and Niya owned it together, it still hurts when I think about it.

"well--"

After casually returning the gem that had not been completely transformed to the spring of the elemental fountain, Sha Duo decided to stay away from this sad place.

…

When Xia Duo returned to Linshui Village, the sky had completely darkened. If it were in other territories, ordinary citizens could already start creating humans at this time, but in the Daxia Territory, there is another very important activity -

night school!

The literacy rate of the Nese people is not very low. Many men have experience as apprentices in the Mage Tower. At least this is the case for those who came from the Savile Territory. However, they have not been able to become formal apprentices. This has only been three years. After his term expired, he left to find his own way out.

Although he failed to learn spells, as long as he stayed in the Mage Tower, literacy was basically no problem. In the statistics of Leiden's citizens, the number of citizens who had apprenticeship experience in the outdated tower was clearly marked.

There are almost 50 of them!

This number seems a bit low compared to the more than 1,000 people in the territory currently, but you must know that among the more than 1,000 people in the Daxia Territory, only half are from the Saville Territory.

The literacy rate of almost one tenth is already quite high, and this does not include the soldiers, who are generally literate.

However, Chateau was not satisfied with this literacy rate, so he asked Leiden to hold a "two-hour evening" small class on the altar square in front of the lord's villa.

Leiden used the bright holy power of radiance as a teaching tool to teach the illiterate people in the territory how to read and cultivate their orderliness by preaching the "Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Glory" and the "Lord's Sayings" written by Chateau.
