Waiting for news can be a long time, but it will come to an end. This Xia Duo confirmed the supplies provided by the lord from the town office, and as soon as he returned to the mage tower, he heard an apprentice talking about the development of the territory.

Xia Duo grabbed a piece of clothing and wrote on it

The apprentice of "Buzi" asked, "Apprentice Buzi, you just ruled out the mage from going to the Green Bead Forest for rotation?" ”

"Yes, Master Mage." The apprentice named Buz was suddenly asked by a formal mage, and his expression was a little nervous, but after finding out that it was Xia Duo, he relaxed again.

With admiration in his eyes, he said respectfully: "Lord Xia Duo, not only the official mage, but also the apprentice has also received the recruitment task, but the number of places is very small. ”

"You know me?" Xia Duo wondered.

"Yes, I once heard Edrich tell me about the story of Darao, and we all admire you when the Arcane Tournament defeated an alien mage!"

"Yes, yes, so do I!" Several apprentices next to him also chimed in. Rao is Xia Duo has a good psychological quality, but being praised in front of him like this, he still can't help the corners of his mouth turned up, and then after a few words of encouragement, Xia Duo returned to the residence with a double good mood.

Now that the Tower of Time has prepared for the mage rotation, the Ming Elf mage has not attacked the caster who entered the Green Bead Forest again.

Of course, it is also possible that the elven mage only attacks the mage apprentice, but this probability is very high, and Zai Xia Duo is not a mage apprentice.

Now the development of the Great Xia Collar has truly entered the countdown. …… Second, Xia Duo first went to the Lieton Chamber of Commerce to find Steward Yarman, and from him, he got that the recent material transfers of the Savile Collar are very frequent, and this posture looks like he is going to do a big job.

"Steward Yarman, how many lords have been recruited so far?" Xia Duo almost always asked about the recruitment of the people, but the number of people recruited was getting smaller and smaller, but because it was getting smaller and smaller, he was also particularly concerned.

What is the root of a territory, there is a saying on the earth that can be well described,

"If you lose your land, you will lose all of you; If you save people and lose land, you will survive. "The lords of Nessera value territory more, while Xia Duo values people more, only people can create productivity, and in the magical world, only more people can produce more spellcasters.

Hearing Xia Duo's question, Steward Yarman, who had long been accustomed to it, skillfully opened a stack of documents and said cautiously: "My lord, due to the development of the Savile Territory recently, there are fewer and fewer people available for recruitment, and not everyone has the courage to work hard from scratch at all costs. ”

"How many are there?!"

"After the adults left at noon yesterday, two more people were recruited, and the ones recruited today haven't been reported yet, but-"

"Got it." Xia Duo understood what he meant, that is, it may not be today! Xia Duo frowned, and muttered to himself: "Yesterday's two, plus the previous recruitment, there were only 56 in total, don't develop such a large territory, it's hanging to build a village!" "If he is now a Grand Arcanist, as long as he goes to the mainland and shouts casually, not ten thousand, at least thousands of people can be fooled!

It's a pity he's not.

"Yarman is in charge, and the recruitment can't be stopped." After thinking about it, Xia Duo still mentioned the slave,

"Does the Lieton Chamber of Commerce have any special channels to get forgiveness?"

"Your Excellency is—" Yarman meant.

"That's what you think! Have it? ”

"My lord, the Liaton Chamber of Commerce has never run this kind of business." But seeing that Xia Duo was unmoved, Yarman gritted his teeth, and

"I, I can think of a way." As one of the several main managers of the Chamber of Commerce, Yarman is very aware of the current situation of the Liaton Chamber of Commerce, and the elves are suddenly unable to contact them, and the current Chamber of Commerce is just an empty shelf with gold coins and no actual industry.

Although he didn't understand why Mrs. Patty would take such a big risk to invest in a territory that he had nothing, now that he had decided, he could only do his best.

"Good!" Xia Duo nodded with satisfaction, he was becoming more and more interested in Yarman, and during this time, he was responsible for the docking between the Liaton Chamber of Commerce and Xia Duo.

Work conscientiously and responsibly and in an orderly manner, it would be better if you could bring in the Great Xia Ling. As soon as the voice changed, Xia Duo asked another key question: "By the way, Steward Yarman, is the ship I need ready?" ”

"My lord, it is impossible for the local chamber of commerce to sell ships, and it is not realistic to rent them, Madame Patti has already arranged for someone to go to the Sheboden Territory to buy them, where the shipbuilding industry is developed, if everything goes well, these should be able to go to the Savile Territory." Unhurried, Yarman took out a few more pieces of parchment and handed them to Shado,

"The crew has been recruited, all of them are native to Savile, and the captain has even been at sea." Xia Duo took it casually, and didn't care too much, these people were unlikely to join the Great Xia Ling, and they could only be regarded as hired workers.

"Hmm-" Xia Duo's casual flipping through suddenly stopped, and as if he didn't believe it, he turned to the previous page again, and after making sure that he was correct, he closed the information again.

"Steward Yarman, the captain of this Captain Owen is almost 60 years old this year, right?" A 60-year-old captain is rare even on earth, let alone a long-lived Nesserel at the age of 50!

And judging from this information, this Captain Owen is just an ordinary person, and Xia Duo doubts that he can still get on the ship at this age!

"My lord, this Captain Owen is a bit old, but I promise that he can do the job of a captain, and how can a captain in his prime be so easy to find!" Yarman was also a little dissatisfied in his words, the Lieton Chamber of Commerce had never been engaged in the water transport trade, and it was impossible to recruit a normal captain at all, even this Owen had taken a lot of effort to find him.

How can you just deny it!

"Alright, I believe you, that's it, Owen!" According to Yarman's consistent and reliable performance, Xia Duo didn't question anything anymore, anyway, he was going to meet that Owen, and it couldn't be fake.

In fact, he hoped that this Owen could really continue to work, otherwise, it would be a trouble to find the captain again!

…… Next, Xia Duo looked at the recent squeezing again, and the series of numbers had already made him a little numb.

After leaving the Lieton Chamber of Commerce, Shado went to the barracks. He didn't go to the team of soldiers supported by Lord Savile for so long, in fact, to save money, although the lord supported his team of soldiers, but the salary had to be paid by Xia Duo himself.

Not only salary, but also food, housing, training, equipment, etc., are all responsible for him, and it is calculated that it takes at least 20 gold coins to maintain a team of 10 ordinary soldiers.

It's been almost half a month since the deal with the lord was reached, and if the soldiers were taken first, it would be hundreds of gold coins gone.

And now that the territory development has a quasi-letter, it is only necessary for the ship to arrive before it can act, so that the group of soldiers can be brought back first, and by the way, they will be familiar with it.
