Arcane Lord

After Atwood was Jabas, but Shado didn't have much time to listen to Jabas's adventures today.

Besides, the ruins of the statue of the scaly creature found on the territory had been filled in by Sha Duo's order after he mastered the [Transformation of Earth and Stone] spell.

In just these few days, can any new ruins be discovered? With this thought in mind, Shado did not stop Jabas from speaking.

But Jabas didn't give him any surprises or scares, and no new ruins were discovered in the past few days. When Jabas started telling stories again, Shado interrupted him in time.

"Jabas, if you are interested, I can find someone to write a biography of you to record your adventures. It would be better to keep the meeting concise now!"

"Write a biography?"

Jabas's voice suddenly rose several octaves, and his body trembled suddenly. He was obviously frightened by Sha Duo's words.

In his mind, only those famous and legendary spellcasters have their own biographies. He is just an ordinary adventurer, so who has the right to have his own biography!

"Yes, write a biography, write a biography about you!"

Xia Duo repeated what he just said. In fact, he did not do it on the spur of the moment, but had already planned it.

With the papermaking technology being used by him, there will definitely be a large amount of paper. By then, let alone adventurer biographies, it will be possible to write a cookbook.

In fact, Xia Duo is also preparing to do this, which is to spread the delicacies of Daxia Ling and increase the influence of Daxia Ling.

As for the biography of Jabas, it is just to enrich the collection of the Tower of Time Library, and at the same time, it can also allow the Tower of Time mages to gain different experiences other than mage biographies.

Of course, Jabbas himself is also very outstanding. After all, there are very few adventurers who can live for such a long time. He cannot be called a legend, but at least he can be called "rare".

In the future, these adventure novels, or other forms of literary and artistic works that have been personally reviewed by Xia Duo, can even become promotional brochures for exporting Daxia culture to the outside world.

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

There are some things you can prepare in advance now.

…

When Shado confirmed the biography again, Jabas was so excited that his body was shaking a little, and he became at a loss. He didn't even dare to look at other people in the conference room, as if he was afraid of causing ridicule.

Seeing this, Xia Duo motioned for him to sit down first, and then said to everyone: "Jabbas is not the only one who has a share in the biography, but every one of you has a share. As long as you work hard, I guarantee that the biography will be included!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the conference room, but in front of him, no one did anything rude, but they could not hide the excitement on their faces.

Shado could see that biographies were quite attractive to everyone. Unfortunately, there was no cheap paper in Netheril in the past. Ordinary people could not even see a few books, let alone biographies.

However, this situation will be greatly improved after the popularization of papermaking. Of course, the premise of all this is that there is sufficient food. Only when you are full can you have the strength to think about other things.

In fact, it is not difficult to solve the problem of having enough food. If it were really ancient times on earth, it would be more difficult. In the magical world, magic can easily break the rules.

The simplest way is to move the arcane garden out of the mage tower and share it with more ordinary people, then it will be easy to increase food production.

Of course, the construction of the Arcane Garden requires a lot of investment. If it is only to meet the needs of a few mages, it can still maintain a balance of payments. If restrictions are relaxed and unlimited production is made, then no one can afford such expenditure.

But what Xia Duo wants to do is not to build an arcane garden for everyone, but to spread the advanced productivity brought by magic, or knowledge, to ordinary people.

These advanced productive forces may be arcane gardens, methods of breeding and seedling raising, spells of gestation and birth, or some kind of efficient harvesting tools.

In short, only when the vast majority of ordinary people are included in the circulation system of the entire magical civilization can it be considered a true magical civilization.

Encouraging countless wisdom to make progress together is far better than a few mages to enclose their own territory.

Of course, the definition of ordinary people at that time was not necessarily the "non-lawyer group" as defined now, but it was certainly that ordinary people were definitely not the most powerful handful of people.

Representing the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people is not necessarily a sign of a powerful country, but it must be a sign of a great civilization.

Whether from an ideal perspective or a utilitarian perspective, Xia Duo will not abandon ordinary people. This is also his most important awareness for the future.

…

After the biographical episode, it was time to report on the military aspects of the territory.

At present, the territorial guard is not independent and Leiden can also command it, so Chateau has not appointed a separate military commander.

In other words, the Territory Guard system is currently divided between four people. Each person only has different qualifications, but the actual authority is completely the same.

During the report, Gibb, Qiaoqi, Simon, and Merry, the four captains of the Territorial Guard, also reported on their work respectively.

Including daily patrols, vigilance, guarding, outing exploration, map drawing, cleaning up wild beasts, etc.

As for Ava, since he is a follower of Shado and has a close relationship with Ava, he does not hold a specific position in the guard system.

He is only responsible for training scouts at the training ground and training ordinary soldiers to use magic items. Such days are almost like a vacation for Ava after his revenge.

With Jibu's persuasion and introduction, Aiwa has already married a wife in Daxia, and now the only thing left is to have a child, even if he is completely settled and has a home.

Sha Duo is also very concerned about Ava's marriage.

In terms of darkness, having a family makes it easier to control. Of course, Xia Duo is not dark. He hopes that his taciturn follower can have a happier life.

…

Ava's report could be said to be the most concise among everyone in the meeting. He only said that 25 new people had learned to use magic scrolls and that was the end.

Xia Duo had known Aiwa's character for a long time, so he was not surprised. As for the fact that 25 more people had learned to use magic scrolls, he didn't take it too seriously.

Twenty or thirty people have already learned it before, and now there will be no qualitative change for 25 more people. And when the citizens of the right age who were sent to the Tower of Time to learn magic return to the territory, this kind of thing will not happen. It deserves a special mention at the meeting.

In the future, territory soldiers must use people who have received magic enlightenment. All mages (apprentices) are standard equipment, let alone the use of magic scrolls.

In addition, after seeing the role of the Resonance Spell Book, Sha Duo was also very skeptical about how much role ordinary soldiers could play in the face of a real magical war.

Even the [Spell Breaker Troop] that Sha Duo has always been thinking about is based on a group of special mages, not ordinary warriors simply armed with magic items.

Of course, it is not feasible or realistic to perfect soldiers at this stage. It is still necessary to strengthen the armed construction of ordinary soldiers.

And this is exactly what Xia Duo is going to say next.
