Arcane Lord

In addition, Xia Duo also thought that he originally planned to let his (hired) fleet transport the elves to the north.

If the Seventon fleet came to transport the elves, plus the cost of the new fleet to help him transport the people, the money on both sides would be earned by the Seventon Chamber of Commerce!

Then what else would he earn?

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help shaking his head, but it seemed that those merchants were bound to come to the south. Even if he didn't want them to help him transport the people, they would still come to take the elves away.

"What's this!"

Xia Duo knew that the time for decision had come, and there were actually not many choices to choose from, it was nothing more than - whether to let those fleets help him transport the people.

As for not letting those fleets come, this was not something Xia Duo could choose.

Thinking of this, he immediately gave up going to the villa area to meet Orips, and instead turned a small corner to the town hall, where he saw Mayor Sean reading documents.

Since there was still Bellera waiting for a reply, Xia Duo didn't say any pleasantries and directly stated his purpose. "Mayor Sean, can you estimate how much surplus will be left after the autumn harvest in Savile County this year, minus the normal consumption of the people and the amount sent to Conifila City?"

The output of the Arcane Garden in the Tower of Time is relatively stable, but the output outside is not so stable. Although there is a surplus every year, the amount is uncertain.

If there are enough, maybe one more ship of people can be transported here.

"Lord Shado, are you going to recruit new subjects from Seventon again?"

"Yes."

Shado saw that Sean was hesitant to speak, and couldn't help but feel a little irritated, "Just say whatever you want to say. Are you still worried that I will blame you for your few words?"

After Shado said this, Sean no longer hesitated, "Lord, I suggest you stop recruiting new subjects!"

"Why?"

Shado asked subconsciously, but as soon as he said it, he reacted and asked Sean, "Is it because of the poor harvest this year, or because of the elves?"

At present, all the food that maintains the continuous expansion of the Daxia subjects is supplied by the Savile Territory. If there is no legitimate reason, Sean will not let Shado give up recruiting new subjects.

Since the autumn harvest was discussed before, it is very likely because of food - insufficient food!

And the reason for the shortage of food at present can only be the poor harvest and the consumption of the elves.

In fact, Shado already had the answer in his mind. When the dragon disaster just appeared, he asked Sean to organize the young and strong people in Savile County for training, mainly to prevent the dragon disaster or the drow from coming and destroying the food before it was harvested.

As for the role of the reserve force, it is secondary.

As for the growth status of food this year, Shado also has some understanding. Although he is not sure how much can be harvested in the end, it is definitely impossible to have a poor harvest.

Sean's answer also confirmed Shado's idea, "It's the elves. A lot of food sent to them was wasted, and they even raised animals in the supply camp in the east. The elves need to eat, the animals need to eat, and there is a lot of waste. No matter how much food is sent, it is not enough."

"Anything else?"

"Also, Conifila City is urging us to send food. There are no fewer elves there than us, but it is not time to send food yet!"

"..."

Shado was silent. The impact of the drow invasion is really a lot. Let's not talk about the dragon disaster. For the time being, the scarlet flashing King Killer Star in the sky is a bit scary, but there is no real danger.

But the elf refugees are different. To some extent, Shado would rather have a few more dragons to play with than accept those elves who are like the embodiment of trouble.

As long as Cormanthor does not fall, who can really do anything to them?

This feeling is really aggrieved!

Just when he wanted to ask Mayor Sean to contact Orips for help, Shado stopped immediately. Although the possibility is not great, he still has to guard against Orips "raising the enemy for his own benefit".

If these elves are unwilling to leave after the drow retreats, it will be too bad!

Thinking about it more deeply, maybe Cormanthor intends to let these elves enter the territory of Nether!

"We still have to be self-reliant!"

Originally, Shado came here to ask Mayor Sean to solve the problem for him, but he didn't expect that he would solve the problem for Mayor Sean. However, the problem of Savile County is his problem, and Shado doesn't care about it.

Leaving a sentence "I will find a way", Shado left the town hall.

But in fact, he didn't have any good solution now. Those elves were just a bunch of rolling meat. As soon as he walked out of the town hall, Xia Duo contacted Bellera and told her that his territory could not accept too many new people for the time being. Xia Duo also expressed his gratitude for her kindness in helping to connect, and declined. ... Plans are not as fast as changes! Back to the Tower of Time, Xia Duo contacted Nia again, "Do you know that the elves are wasting food at the supply camp in the east?" "I don't know, what's wrong? But as long as those elves don't make trouble, it doesn't matter if you send more food. The teacher will subsidize us later!" "..." This is not a matter of subsidy or not. Xia Duo really wants to say this, but it seems that it is really not a big deal, except for its impact on the Great Xia Territory. Thinking of this, he felt inexplicably irritated, "Forget it, just ignore me."

Then, Shado changed the subject again, "Niya, do you have the latest news from Cormanso? ​​The Northland Alliance or something related to Drow?"

"Not yet, but you don't have to think too much about the Northland Alliance for the time being. Although it seems that all countries have basically unified their opinions, this kind of formal alliance involving multiple countries and even different races has no individual We couldn’t talk about it for several years.”

"Okay, I'm just asking, if there is any latest news, remember to inform me!"

"knew!"

…

After interrupting the call with Niya, Sha Duo returned to his residence, made himself a cup of tea, and then sat blankly at his desk, deep in thought.

It seems that since this year's snowmelt competition, there has been some kind of change in the world. Although it is not obvious, it has a real impact on him. Xia Duo is willing to call this change "the wave of the times."

At the same time, he could also deeply appreciate the power of this change, especially the recent changes, which made him feel like he was being coerced by the world. For the first time, Xia Duo wanted to let go of all his thoughts and stay quietly for a while. .

Reorient yourself so you don’t lose yourself.

Spellcasters, mages, arcanists, magic research, territory development, world situations, and even individual weapons, concepts and events inevitably broke into Sha Duo's mind.

But he did not refuse, but allowed these thoughts to fly and looked at everything from a detached perspective.

At an unknown moment, it seemed as if a bolt of lightning broke through the fog, and Xia Duo suddenly woke up. Although he did not find that he was any different from before, his mood was unexpectedly relaxed, as if he had found the direction of the future again.
