Chapter 1428: Treating the Symptoms and Treating the Root Cause, Forest Hiking
Gibb is so big, I've never experienced the feeling of flying!
But he could imagine that feeling of freedom, and now hearing that the lord could equip them with flying tools was simply the fulfillment of his dream for decades, and it was repeated over and over again!
This scenario, which is hardly realistic, really happened in reality, which made Gibb almost hard to believe:
"My lord, is this true? Are you really going to equip us with flying vehicles? ”
"Of course it's true!"
Xia Duo said with great certainty.
In fact, if it weren't for airships and airships, which were difficult to simplify, and the lack of long-range attack weapons that could sustain combat operations, it might be more appropriate to directly equip airships.
However, it is not difficult to be equipped with a single flight equipment that is similar to a life jacket used on an airship.
All he was thinking about now was what form he wanted to make the equipment, as combat equipment, small items such as rings and talismans would be more durable, while armor, belts, and even weapons would be more vulnerable.
But the cost of the former will be higher, even several times that of the latter.
If it's just a simple equipment for a group of security officers, it doesn't matter, after all, no matter how high the cost is, the upper limit is there.
But if it is to be used as a standard equipment for the future territory, then the cost must be considered.
In addition to the independent Arcane Device, what Xia Duo wants most now is the Mithril Ore, although there is now a material like Davy String that can replace Mithril in Europe, but it cannot be completely replaced.
If there was a Mithril Mine, many of the problems might not be a problem.
Considering the cost, in fact, it is more because I am not rich enough.
……
Then, Chado gave Gibb a big surprise again-
"In addition to flying tools, there are also protective and attack equipment, and even restriction tools, which are all available to you at one time."
The reason for this is also to consider that there are more and more spellcasters operating in the territory at present, and although there have been no cases of spellcasters committing crimes so far, it is almost certain that it will happen over time.
Therefore, it has become an imminent objective need for the public security station to have a certain ability to restrain and deter the caster.
Otherwise, everything must depend on him, and the public security station will become an ornament!
Of course, after taking care of the security office, Xia Duo did not forget about the others, "Later, I will have someone send you a batch of talismans, one for each person in all important positions." ”
In fact, it is a demon slaying talisman, although it is specifically designed to deal with demons, but it is essentially a spiritual talisman, and it has strong resistance to psychic spells.
Of course, more importantly, it has already achieved mass production in the Tower of Time, and the cost can be controlled very low, even if it is one per person, it is not a big deal.
However, this is only a passive protection measure, unless Xia Duo gives each of them and even their relatives and friends a whole invincible protective shield, otherwise there will always be a loophole to exploit.
The real way to cure the root cause is to start from the system.
For example, standardize administrative processes to reduce the role of individual will; Emphasis is placed on the pursuit and punishment of those who threaten the officials of the territory, and the punishment is also increased for the depravity of the officials themselves, and so on.
Supplemented by a sound supervision and supervision mechanism, to a large extent, it can avoid the problems that arise actively or passively among the territorial officials themselves.
What Xia Duo wants is to create civilization, not to be an eternal ruler, and in this regard, he is very generous and open-minded.
Civilization is never something that can be created by a single person, but by a collective and a people.
If you try to be above sentient beings, you must be prepared to be overthrown by sentient beings at any time.
If you accept the superiority at this moment, you must accept the inferiority at that moment, which is logically consistent, and you can't stand it again!
If you don't want to be inferior at that moment, then you don't need to insist on being superior at this moment.
Insisting on the equality of all living beings has a natural sense of justice when resisting oppression, and the demand for justice really exists in the subconscious of every intelligent life.
The wheels of history roll forward, and even if evil gains the upper hand for a while, it will inevitably be overturned by the justice that is suppressed and waiting to break out at any time.
Within a certain range, evil cannot last forever, but justice has a chance to live forever.
Even if it is a utilitarian choice, it is also for good, righteousness, and public, and the benefits that can be brought are more long-term.
What's more, Xia Duo is still a four-you young man who has already preliminarily obtained immortality!
If you can't think about the long term, what qualifications do you have to claim to be from your hometown, and what qualifications do you have to have such a long lifespan!
……
After leaving the government hall, Shado took Nia into the depths of the Green Bead Forest, not only as a rare autumn hike, but also to explore the geology of the forest.
The exploration missions issued by the Tower of Time Mission Management Office only involve the areas near the Great Xia Territory and the Saville Territory, and the deep forests are almost never involved.
After all, even if you are a full-fledged mage, you may not be able to return safely every time you enter the forest to explore, let alone a group of apprentices!
The more people who go, the probability of accidents will naturally continue to expand.
Xia Duo will not be the kind of cold-blooded mentor who does not take the life of an apprentice seriously, now that he is an apprentice, he may be the builder of a magical civilization in the future.
When they are weak, provide adequate protection.
……
In the woods.
Shado and Nia rode slowly eastward on the back of the Pegasus, the two Pegasus more accustomed to the rugged, sometimes soft and sometimes hard forest ground than their owners.
Far away from the traces of human activity, there are almost no roads in the forest, vines, fallen leaves, gravel, and even animal skeletons, anything imaginable in the forest may be encountered in the next moment.
It's not just the elves' Pegasus who are born with abilities that bypass the beasts of the woods; It was still the sensitive beast that it was not easy to provoke when it sensed the sudden intruder, and along the way, Xia Duo hardly saw any large beasts.
The only one, a lone wolf encountered when he first entered the wilderness, but he quickly disappeared into the depths of the forest, without missing a trace.
I don't know how long I walked, Niya suddenly provoked the conversation:
"Shado, when do you think we're going to be able to get here? Do you think we humans are inherently enemies of the forest? ”
"Why do you think that?"
Shado glanced at Nia in surprise, but saw that she had a sentimental face, as if she was shocked by the endless forest, which made Shado give up what he wanted to refute and comfort her:
"Death is our final end, so can we choose death now? No, it is precisely because of the existence of death that we need to cherish the present and strive to live each day well, so that every day is full of meaning! ”
These words avoided the argument between friend and foe, but also provided side support for the pioneering behavior of humanity, and Xado believed that Nia would understand the true meaning of his words.
"I know the teachings of the Lord of Death! Don't adjust the word order, I won't be able to hear it! ”
Niya suddenly squeezed her eyes mischievously at Xia Duo, and the sentimental emotions just now suddenly dissipated a lot, obviously she understood Xia Duo's intentions.
