Chapter 403: Changing the Initial and Southern Patrol Responses
The next day, Chardo and Nia met again, this time only if Nia briefed Chardo on the situation in Severton and the relationship between the various Grand Arcanists.
Although it is just some ordinary information, it also depends on what circle it comes from, and after Niya becomes a princess student, the information she can access is far wider and deeper than that of Xia Duo.
This information is of great help to Xia Duo to judge the current situation, but it is a pity that Nia is in a hurry to return to Severton, otherwise Xia Duo will definitely have to pull her to talk a little longer.
And after Nia left, Xia Duo issued the first official order for the transformation of the Tower of Time - to reduce the price of paper and ink in the Tower of Time!
Although this order is very inconspicuous, Xia Duo, who has personally experienced the apprenticeship stage, knows very well how long it takes for an apprentice to waste a blank notebook and a small bottle of ink!
It's easy to say that there is money in the family, but the reality is that there are only a few rich families after all, and many people come to enter the Tower of Time with the idea of only staying for three years.
For three years, you will be paid (albeit lowly) for food and lodging, you will be able to learn the written word, and if you are lucky, you will be able to become an apprentice mage, or even a full-fledged mage.
Basically, unless there is a shortage of people in the family, even the poorest families will send their adult children to live in the Tower of Time for three years.
These people work hard, but there are some things that can not be succeeded by hard work alone, and the Tower of Time has artificially set up many obstacles in the apprentice's acquisition of knowledge and efficient acquisition of knowledge.
This is the current general situation of Nesser, and it cannot be changed overnight, but Xia Duo can start with the Tower of Time, start from the subtleties, and slowly change.
He believed that the other mage towers that were in the process of transformation would definitely not be as thorough as him, not only to change the way magic items were produced, but also to change the existing mage training system.
Of course, in Xia Duo's eyes, the existing mage training system is not a training system at all, it is more like a free-range breeding, very passive, and what he wants is active training.
Or to change a few lofty words, it could be "comprehensively promote the reform of magic education, improve the mage training system, and vigorously develop magic productivity!" ”
In the next few days, Xia Duo stayed in the Tower of Time, constantly observing the state of the apprentices through the tower spirit projection, and the apprentices were very happy with the reduction in the price of the necessary consumables for learning, and even their enthusiasm for learning was much higher.
At the same time, Xia Duo also paid attention to the performance of the official mages.
Most of the mid-level mages have mastered spells such as [Detection and Detection], and Xia Duo did not peek at them, but judging from the performance of other beginner mages, the mages did not show any unusual results in the price reduction of ink and paper.
Or rather, these are not the targets they are focusing on at all.
This also made Xia Duo breathe a sigh of relief, but the next step must directly touch the interests of the official mage, or the pain point.
Shado was not in a hurry to issue the next order, but was going to consolidate it for a while, but privately, he asked Dean to expand the publicity of "entering the school" to all apprentices.
It may not be so difficult to accept if you set the tone first and then issue an order.
……
In the year 835 of the Naese calendar, in the middle of October, Xia Duo took the "Lucky Owen" back to Linshui Village, the Great Xia Ling.
On the side of the Tower of Time, Xia Duo put it down for the time being, but he contacted the Tower Spirit every day to learn about the latest situation there, and now the elemental passage that locked the ruins has been completed, so that the Tower of Time is greatly reduced by the pressure of the chaotic demon net from the outside world.
Not only are energy reserves gradually being sufficient, but the state of the magic network of the riots has been flattened, and the rarity of communication has actually dropped a lot.
Maybe it won't be long before Xia Duo can even go directly through the ruins of the magic net, going back and forth between the Tower of Time and Linshui Village.
It's a pity that in the year of the projection plane Silverlight City, except for the sword singer training in the morning and the sleeping time at night, almost half of Xia Duo's disposable time was spent in the library of the Silver Light Tower.
If this year is spent all the time studying magic, maybe he has now become a high-level mage and learned [Long-distance Teleportation], then when he returns to Linshui Village, he will not need to return to the territory by boat, and it will be much more convenient to teleport with the help of the teleportation circle of the Tower of Time.
However, the temptation of the Mithril refining technique is too great, and although only a few simple process descriptions can be found in the end, it is still quite valuable.
Projection planes are common, but projection becomes elves but not often, and the case of the color-resistant mage projecting into an elf only exists in legends, and no one has ever stood up and said that they have ever projected elves.
Xia Duo projected three times and projected twice to become an elf, which already surprised him, and he guessed that it might have something to do with him being an earthling, but there was no empirical evidence, so he couldn't make a further judgment.
That's why he gave priority to the technique of finding elves, and maybe he won't have a chance again in the future.
This time back to the territory, the high level is already in sight, but Xia Duo is not in a hurry to devote himself to research, because in his calendar, there has always been one thing hanging on it, and the priority is extremely high, and now it is almost time.
For Xia Duo, Archmage Greta had long reminded him to spend more energy on territorial development, and later Nia clearly told him that the Duke was going to come to the south to make rounds.
At present, he is the only pioneer in the south, and it is obvious that the princess is going to come to the Great Xia Ling!
Archmage Greta didn't say the time, Nia just said that before the winter, it was already autumn, and the princess was coming soon, and a grand arcanist was personally inspecting, and Xia Duo was still under a lot of pressure.
But at the same time, he was also a little excited in his heart, characters like the Grand Arcanist were not something that could be seen casually, and in their eyes, how much difference there was between a high-level mage and a low-level mage, or even an apprentice!
Perhaps only by advancing to become an Arcanist can they look up to them, but this is something that cannot be achieved anytime soon.
Therefore, Xia Duo can only put more effort into the development of the territory, and this happens to be the focus of the princess, the great arcanist.
……
On the Altar Square, Xia Duo looked at the few wooden houses in the north and asked Leiden about the progress of the wooden houses: "Leiden, how many sets of standard wooden house parts are currently in the territory stockpile?" ”
Layton is not like Xia Duo who returns to the Tower of Time from time to time, and even conducts astral projection, time travel, and astral boundary, since he came to Linshui Village, he has never left, and he pounces on the territory all day long, and these data may be more familiar than the carpenter himself.
There is no need to check the records at all, and it is reported directly, "The latest record of 33 sets, three days later, another 10 sets." ”
Xia Duo nodded, the manufacture of standard wooden house parts is not a set of parts, but ten sets of ten modular manufacturing. On average, not counting the time spent on construction, it takes about 20 man-days to manufacture a standard set of wooden house components.
That is, 20 carpenters for 1 day, or 10 carpenters for 2 days.
For this speed, Xia Duo is still very satisfied, and now there are a total of 200 multi-family households in the territory, and it will take at least 200 wooden houses.
At present, there are 20 carpenters in the territory who are quite passable (limited to making wooden houses), and even if there is no increase in manpower, all of them can be made in half a year.
