Chapter 217 - Formulation of Laws, Debts
The addition of Leiden has brought new opportunities to the development of the Great Xia Territory, and Xia Duo Leiden has constantly asked about the situation of the temple, hoping to dig up a few more magic casters through Leiden.
Of course, it was only the worshippers of the Lord of Radiance who were in the parlor of Mrs. Patty's house, where Chado and the Priest of Leiden had a great conversation, and even in the presence of Lady Patty and Yarman, Chardo said very bluntly: "I have the help of the Priest of Leiden, just like a fish gets water!" Although it is difficult to connect the monarch with the fish and water, the keen perception that Priest Leiden has cultivated in the presence of God at all times can still make him feel the sincerity and trust of Xia Duo.
Leiden was touched and rejoiced, not only because the Radiant Lord's way would be on earth and his authority would be extended, but also because of the trust that Chardo had placed in him.
"Lord Lord, Leiden will defend the law you created to the death!" Xia Duo nodded with satisfaction, in fact, in terms of trust, he didn't trust Leiden much, how could the relationship between people and Rao be so easy to get closer, he was just based on rational judgment.
Rather than trusting Leyton, he trusted the Lord of Radiance, and trusted the Lesser for so many years, and the Lord's tacit understanding with the Temple.
"Layton, where do you live now?"
"I'm an orphan and I've been living in the temple."
"So—" Chardo thought for a moment, and looked at Mrs. Patty,
"Mrs. Trouble has prepared a few houses for me near the port, so that the people who have been recruited can live in them first."
"No problem, the Liaton Chamber of Commerce has two warehouses in the port, and it can be inhabited with a little renovation." Patief's lack is a commitment.
"Good!" Chado continued to command Leiden,
"Mrs. Patti has recruited 20 new consuls for me, and you move in and tell them about the book of Proverbs." Speaking of "Proverbs", naturally, it is to strengthen the rule, and he now stands in the position of the lord, and he likes it as much as he looks at "Proverbs".
And that's exactly what Leiden wants,
"My lord, I will definitely do this well!" What could be more heartfelt than being able to put into practice the teachings of the Lord of Radiance!
After explaining this matter, Xia Duo arranged for Leyton to sort out the relevant laws of Nessera and Savile for his reference.
He could not change the laws of Nesser, but when it came to a particular territory, the lord had absolute authority to make any local laws that did not conflict with the laws of the Empire.
Now that he is about to own a territory, Xia Duo naturally has to transform it according to his own heart, and let his will penetrate into all aspects of the territory.
…… After Layton left, Shado chatted with Yarman for a while, leaving his own arcane sigil on the back of his hand before returning to the Mage Tower.
In the next few miles, Xia Duo would leave the Mage Tower for a moment every noon, and in addition to going to the Lieton Chamber of Commerce to learn about the situation, Hans, Shining Gold, and the Slevin Chamber of Commerce also needed attention.
He had just returned to the Mage Tower after meeting the first batch of the Great Xia Lords from the port warehouse, and Niya sent a message asking Xia Duo to go to her residence.
Xia Duo realized that this afternoon was the time for Niya to teach "Intermediate Arcane Geometry", and he immediately returned to his room to pick up the book and came to Niya's side.
"Mentor."
"Hmm." Nia didn't chat, and went straight to the point,
"Intermediate Arcane Geometry is a must-have course for low-level mages in the Pure White Tower, do you know why?"
"To train the Arcanist?" Xia Duo replied casually according to his own understanding.
"Yes, even the mage apprentices of the Pure White Tower have taken the beginner course, this is the will of the Grand Arcanist, although the Tower of Time does not have such a rule, but I hope you can do it, and then I will ask you to use the standard of the Pure White Tower." Seeing that Niya didn't seem to be joking, Xia Duo hurriedly said, "Mentor Niya, wait a minute, what is the standard of your pure white tower?" "The mentor over there of the Pure White Tower must be stronger than the Tower of Time, and he demands himself by the standards of that side, but what about the mentor?
"Mastering intermediate arcane geometry before intermediate and advanced arcane geometry before advanced is almost the way to become an arcanist." As if to see Xia Duo's concern, Nia added,
"I've finished learning advanced arcane geometry, and I won't have any problem teaching you!"
"Hey, hey." Xia Duo did not say anything more. Next is Nia's teaching time, maybe Nya has really finished "Advanced Arcane Geometry", but her teaching level is still in the elementary stage.
After a while, Xia Duo noticed that what Nia was talking about was very similar to the book "Intermediate Arcane Geometry", and thought that "Elementary" had magic books, and maybe intermediate also had magic books.
And Nia is based on the content of the magic book, the content of the magic book is more detailed than ordinary books, if it weren't for Xia Duo who had read the magic book of "Elementary", he might not have noticed it at all.
The magic book that recalls "Elementary" clearly indicates that it was compiled by the Grand Arcanist Saville based on Eolem's teachings.
Perhaps there is no systematic pedagogy at all, and Xia Duo can clearly feel that the details in the "Elementary" course are inadequate.
The same may be true of "Intermediate". As soon as he thought of this, Xia Duo said that he hoped to put it on Ming's Q&A, which is the time to show the true strength of the tutor, and the teaching is still a little unsatisfactory.
As he listened, Shado compared what Nia was going to do with what was in the regular version of Intermediate Arcane Geometry, and sometimes jotted down some important points in his notes.
The afternoon passed in a hurry, and just as Shado was about to leave, Nia suddenly stopped him,
"The territory is about to be opened, do you need any help?" Xia Duo didn't react for a while, but then realized that Niya's territory development refers to the Saville Territory, Xia Duo was overjoyed, is this the elven mage outside Ming has been solved?
And for Nia's help, Xia Duo hesitated for a moment or refused,
"Thank you, Mentor, but the lord has already provided me with a batch of supplies and a team of soldiers." In the current situation, it is no problem to meet the initial development.
Of course, Xia Duo does not mind asking for help if he does need it. Xia Duo felt that Nia should feel a little indebted to him because of the matter of the Colorless Scroll, but it was a consensual deal between him and Lord Savile, and it was indeed a bit inappropriate to get benefits from Nia.
However, the substantial benefits Xia Duo don't want, some hidden benefits, he has already obtained. Xia Duo thought that Nia had to use the standards of the Pure White Tower to demand him, and perhaps a responsible mentor would be a good gain.
…… After returning to the residence, Xia Duo immediately summoned Yarman, asking him to send someone to keep an eye on the lord's pioneering team, how many people there were, whether there were spellcasters, and so on.
After that, Xia Duo sorted out the magic scrolls he had made during this time, a total of 45 copies, most of which were [Demonized Weapons] and [Magic Alerts].
This is a spell that is needed for territory development, but Xia Duo is not ready to use these scrolls in the Great Xia Territory, if you sell them for money, one can sell for more than 20 gold coins, and if you use it directly, it is too luxurious!
Xia Duo is going to exchange these for gold coins, and then for personnel and supplies. As for the magic aspect, it's all there is to it.
In order to increase his authority in the Mage Tower in the future, Xia Duo is going to sell these scrolls directly to the Mage Tower, eliminating the task indicators that he has not completed before the promotion authority.
When this is over, Xia Duo's scroll will be used to pay off the debt.
