Arcane Lord

But the balance of payments in the past and the balance of payments now are completely different concepts.

The balance of payments in the past was the final achievement of the old system as it developed to a relatively mature stage. Even if there were further development, it would just be that, with extremely limited room for imagination.

The current balance of payments is the initial stage after the transformation of the new system, and there is great potential for future development.

If it weren't for the fact that the Tower of Time really didn't have much foundation now, and coupled with the restrictions of the external environment, the Tower of Time could have continued to lose money and eventually become the strongest.

This is the choice of path.

If you choose the right path, even if there are thorns and bumps in the beginning, once you pass the critical turning point, you will usher in a comprehensive victory.

Although Xia Duo could not guarantee that everything would go as he expected, for now, he was still confident in his choice.

Of course, even if he has no confidence, he will choose what he thinks is the right path. After all, who doesn't have ideals and persistence!

Nowadays, Xia Duo is no longer just living for the sake of survival when he just traveled over. In fact, if he is just living for the sake of living, then he has already achieved it.

After awakening his bloodline, he has a longer lifespan than normal people, and he is very sure that he can become a senior arcanist, and learning life-extending magic is nothing.

Or you can wait for Iolum's longevity spell to come out. Lifespan is not a problem at all.

But people live not just for living, Xia Duo has more pursuits, shallow ones, such as living better, having fun, etc., and more advanced ones, even becoming a great arcanist or even becoming a god-like existence. , is not unimaginable.

It’s all on a personal level after all.

But for now, Xia Duo is very satisfied if he can obtain immortality. He does not expect so-called eternal life or eternity. After all, it is difficult for him to imagine what real eternity is like now.

He is more willing to leave some traces to this world, this history, and the future time.

His choice was to create a civilization according to his heart and transform the world with it.

And this is also his current ideal and persistence.

Unlike when he was a child, his ideal of becoming a scientist, although pure, seemed empty. Now he is able to pursue his ideal with more rational and realistic beliefs, which is his progress.

It’s also human nature.

Of course, Xia Duo does not think that his ideals must be higher than "becoming a scientist", "becoming a star", "being an official and getting rich" and so on.

The ideal itself is not high or low, it just depends on the environment at the time and whether it can be truly implemented.

From this perspective, Xia Duo is currently a relatively qualified ideal pursuer. He is practicing his ideals step by step and persisting in his persistence.

…

In the study.

Xia Duo and Niya sat opposite each other at the window. At this moment, the window projected a picture of the stars shining in the outside sky. After the two talked, Nia read quietly, while Xia Duo looked at the stars in trance.

The reason why he chose to create civilization as his ideal is to a certain extent because he realized that no matter how powerful an individual is, it is difficult to transcend reality. Only by relying on the wisdom and strength of a collective group can we go further and see more.

Taking one last look at the stars - including of course the Kingkiller that kept flashing in the northwest sky? Shado closed his eyes and focused all his attention on recalling memories.

Occasionally when he gets tired of watching, he will also take part of his attention to interpret the essence of magic in his mind and organize and integrate it at the theoretical level.

…

The next day? Negotiations continue.

Pelokan still attended with Sethos. Shado was a little surprised at first, but then he realized that maybe Pelocan was to protect Sethos.

The existence of magic makes it difficult for ordinary people in this world to keep secrets, which naturally includes business secrets, negotiation bottom lines, and so on.

Of course? Magic is not omnipotent, and ordinary people's will can sometimes surpass magic.

Furthermore, magic is not traceless. Whenever it is used, it will definitely leave traces. It is just a matter of whether it can be detected.

Thinking about it this way, Sha Duo felt that it was right to ask Aiboike to accompany Derrick. After all, through the sensing field, he was not absolutely sure that he would be able to detect Peluokan's spellcasting behavior.

Although the possibility of Pelokan's spell affecting Derrick is extremely low? At the same time, Derrick definitely has a spiritual amulet, but an extra layer of protection would be safer.

"Xia Duo, you said yesterday that Peluokan explained that the Water Chamber of Commerce wanted to rent land in Savile Territory to build a warehouse. Will Sethos make a slight concession on the agency fee today?" Niya said suddenly.

"This - maybe!"

Although he said this, Xia Duo did not think that Saitos would give in easily. After all, renting land in the future may not necessarily have anything to do with him, but the current negotiation can allow him to get something tangible and tangible. performance.

How to do it should not be difficult to judge.

Unless Peluokan gave him instructions with orders from above, it is unlikely that the upper echelons of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce would give up the benefits that they have gained.

After all, compared to the small expenditure on renting land, the agency fee for magic items is the bulk.

…

Much like yesterday, Xia Duo still focused a little on the negotiations and more on recalling memories. During this period, Leiden sent him a message and the Northland fleet arrived at the Linshui Village dock.

This batch of newly joined residents totals 1,194, and they have all been registered. There is just one problem, the wooden houses are still not ready.

When Xia Duo saw this message, he immediately stopped tracing his memory. He has never forgotten that next month, in November, three batches of new citizens will arrive, at least 2,000 people.

If the house is not enough now, it will probably not be enough next month.

But now it’s autumn, and the temperature is getting lower and lower. How can we survive the winter without a house?

Thinking of this, Xia Duo could hardly sit still and wanted to go back to the territory to personally watch the progress of the wooden house manufacturing workshop.

Now that we have the ability to recall memories, many studies that do not require practical operations can be carried out in our minds.

Such as searching for information, summarizing and refining information, calculating and deriving processes, proposing various hypotheses, etc.

Compared to the past, we have more than twice as much time!

But the warning that the princess had sent through Niya made him hesitate. After thinking about it, Shado decided not to leave the Tower of Time. However, he sent a summons to Leiden and ordered him to personally sit in the wooden house manufacturing workshop and supervise the production.

At the same time, the wooden house manufacturing workshop will also need to increase its manpower. The newly added citizens will be assigned to the logistics department first. It is necessary to ensure that every citizen can have his own house before winter.

Of course, Xia Duo does not have to do nothing. The Tower of Time Arcane Garden still needs to continue to increase production to provide sufficient food reserves for the Great Xia Territory.

Fortunately, the Tower of Time had just recruited a group of full-time servants not long ago, otherwise the manpower would be somewhat stretched now.
