Chapter 344: Focus on Training, Timekeeping Magic
After dinner, Gibb and Georgie came over to report the situation, and Xia Duo told them about the arrangements for training in the use of magic items.
They don't need to pick only two to participate like Miles, all of them will participate in the training, and then slowly eliminated, and all those who can't learn will become second-tier.
Ordinary soldiers without magical power are too vulnerable to spellcasters, although Xia Duo is a spellcaster, but just like other spellcasters in this world, many thoughts and methods are aimed at the caster himself.
It's a bit of a betrayal of the class, but in fact, this is what the caster really thinks, after all, the one who knows the caster best is the caster himself.
Another reason is that there is no strong centralized caster regime, and there are no strict caster safeguards, and if there is, then most casters don't need to look into these.
There will definitely be a spellcaster similar to the military police to do this.
Of course, a powerful centralized spellcaster regime is to be formed, unless one day some kind of easy-to-popularize foreign object can overwhelm the caster's own strength, making people ignore the gap between the strong and the weak.
Similar to the situation of machine guns on Earth, Xia Duo felt that this day should be far away.
Therefore, the best choice for spellcasters is to develop towards the all-rounder, but with more emphasis on it.
……
After Georgie and Gibb left, Xia Duo began to check the detailed report of the territory that Leiden had given him before, and Leiden recorded all the big and small things.
Xia Duo is most concerned about the population, as well as the progress of development, the latter can be seen at a glance when he landed before, but the former, with the 200 households allocated by Niya before, there are now hundreds of people in the Great Xia Territory.
It's like a small society.
This is also the reason why he officially decided on the name Linshui Village as soon as he came.
Now that the residential area has been roughly opened up, only the need to build a house and settle down, and in the process, it will continue to expand outward.
Now the upright trunk logs are almost piled up, not to mention that the trees are not only the trunk, but on the contrary, the part outside the trunk takes up more space.
"The Sword Comes"
In addition to using the soil from the river to burn bricks, Xia Duo also wanted to make paper, although wooden paper could not be used to make magic scrolls now, but not necessarily in the future, and once paper could be produced cheaply, it would be conducive to popularizing knowledge.
Perhaps it is not surprising that there will be folk mages in the future.
Mages are productivity, but also force!
This is a measure that can greatly increase the strength of the territory.
In addition to burning bricks and making paper, these woods can also be used to make everyday furniture, simple tools, etc., but in this era, unless there is a special function, wood can be said to be the most worthless material.
Just take two steps outside and find a tree to cut down, but there is no way, there are too many forests.
While thinking about the future arrangement of the territory, while thinking about the problem of spells, it is not that Xia Duo does not pay attention to the efficiency of things, but this method is actually a kind of focused training.
It's similar to reading a book under the scorching sun, but this goes a step further.
The degree of concentration is related to the difficulty of perceiving the soul, and the more focused, the easier it is to perceive the soul, and this training method is what Xia Duo saw in the book "How to Perceive the Soul".
Shado was curious about his own soul, because on earth it was generally believed that the soul was only a metaphysical being, or simply "consciousness".
Earthlings do not have a substantial soul, and of course this is difficult to confirm or falsify. Shado wondered what his soul was like, a transparent humanoid like the various descriptions, a point of light, a shadow, or something else.
There is no specific description of the soul in the books related to the soul, but it is only said that the soul is shrouded in a layer of aura, which is related to personal cognition.
It's just that this kind of distracted concentration training is very difficult, and Xia Duo sometimes wonders if his brain is spinning fast enough, so that it seems to be thinking about two things at the same time, but it is actually one thing.
And after this concentration training, there are several more trainings, which can be completed in turn to improve concentration and reach the level of soul perception.
The training of spiritual consciousness is much more difficult than the training of the body, one is tangible, the other is intangible, a little slack, sometimes even you can't find it, and then continue to relax, and think that you are doing a good job!
Therefore, Xia Duo must remind himself from time to time whether he has been lax during this period, and if he has not changed, he will be encouraged. To do this, he also found a timekeeping magic.
This is how the blue timekeeping rune at the top of the Tower of Time originally works.
This is a 1-ring spell that determines a certain duration through the inherent fluctuations of the magic net, and if it is combined with the length of a day, it can become a timer spell.
This initial 1-ring spell is recorded as [Echo Perception] in the Tower of Time, which means perceiving the "echo" of the magic web, not the perception of sound.
The timing spell is 3 rings, known as [Magic Net Moment], which is to be cast, it will directly get a specific time, accurate to the minute.
Usually ask Taling for the time in the Tower of Time, and Taling will answer according to the time displayed by the already constant [Demon Net Time], which is also the most direct source of the timekeeping rune at the top of the Tower of Time.
Xia Duo didn't need a timekeeping spell as complicated as [Magic Net Hour], he only needed something like an alarm clock, and he transformed [Echo Perception] into a 2-ring spell.
It didn't have any strange name, it was called [Alarm Clock], which was simple and clear.
This is a change spell, after casting the [Alarm Clock] spell, you will get a specific perception of the magic net, you can set it yourself, and every once in a while, a reminder will be issued.
It can last less than four hours in total, but for Xia Duo, it is enough and very practical, and he does not need to train for four hours in a row now, which is really unbearable.
Of course, if it really takes longer, you can continue to develop the high-ring version, which Xia Duo still has.
Soon, the spell [Alarm Clock] reminded him that the time was up, and Xia Duo thought back to whether he had slackened during this period, and after reflection, he fell asleep peacefully.
In this way, the first day of Xia Duo's return to the Great Xia Collar passed.
……
In this way, time passed day by day, and the remaining 450 river diggers promised by the mayor of Sain were also sent to the Great Xia Territory, including 80 soldiers, food, and specially made iron tools.
The north side of Linshui Village has completely become a never-ending construction site.
Seeing that day by day, the speed of clearing trees on the river continues to increase, Xia Duo is happy in his heart, but also more and more looking forward to the brick kiln can be completed as soon as possible.
This can not only consume a large amount of wood, but also cooperate with the construction of Linshui Village to implement the brick floor.
