If there were other options, Xia Duo didn't necessarily have to choose the Azurite plane.

Like the green plane of the Seven Towers, it is naturally a habitable plane, which can allow ordinary people to survive without any additional transformation, and long-term residence also has a life-prolonging effect.

But the azurite plane is not without advantages, on the one hand, it is a plane with poor innate attributes, and it will not be too distressed if it is broken.

On the other hand, it is because of the pure water area of the other half of the Azurite plane, which is the Floating City Manufacturing Factory of Chadonnade, and in the future, the Floating City will transform the water body in this water.

If it is placed outside, whether it is cutting a mountain peak or transforming from the sea, the movement will not be too small, and it is best to keep a low profile before this kind of strategic facility is fully formed.

There are two things that Xia Duo is most concerned about now, one is that Ioram is asking the goddess of magic to "certify" [Mythera], and the other is the matter of the Northland Alliance's magic restriction treaty.

The former depends on luck, even if you can't get certification or endorsement, it is still impossible to give up the [Mithera] device; As for the latter, there's so much room for maneuvering.

For the time being, the Seven Towers have not officially recognized the Demon Restriction Treaty to the outside world, but the rumors have already been released, and it is currently a snowmelt competition, and the Severant side may have a round of negotiations first.

It's not a problem internally for the time being, and it will definitely be on the same side in dealing with the Northland Alliance's Demon Restriction Treaty, and the key is how to distribute the "oversized share" belonging to Nesseril in the treaty later.

First of all, one thing is certain, no matter how much Comanso thinks and tries to push for it, it is impossible for the so-called Magic Restriction Treaty to completely ban all large-scale magical activities.

Then there can only be a "over-limit share", similar to the "carbon emission standard" negotiated by countries on the planet, but within a specific country, each company also has its own share, and even these shares can be traded with each other.

In Nessreel, the various mage tower organizations, and even powerful individual spellcasters, are undoubtedly vying for a share of the large-scale magical activities.

How to divide it, Xia Duo is not sure for the time being, after all, there is no letter on the Northland Alliance now, and he doesn't even know what form this share exists.

But one thing he was sure of was that the competition for this share within Nessera would not be too peaceful, and if it didn't happen, it would be the beginning of civil strife.

After all, everyone was fine before, and now there is a sudden magic restriction treaty, although most mage towers may not meet the standard of "large-scale magic activities", but who would like to suddenly have an extra restriction on their heads!

It may not be enough for a "big magic event" now, but what about the future?

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help frowning, there is a private plane like him, although it is more troublesome, but it can also transfer some large-scale magic activities, but not all mage tower organizations have a private plane.

Or to put it more bluntly, the vast majority of mage towers don't even have a plane exploration array, so how can they find a secondary plane?

As for the half-plane, it may be able to be bought, but who can guarantee that it will not be "recovered", and more importantly, the half-plane is too small in size and too weak in disaster-bearing capacity, and it may lead to the destruction of the half-plane due to an accident.

"How difficult it is!"

Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh, elven magic had developed and matured thousands of years ago, and now although a lot of it has been lost, the system is still quite complete, and it doesn't need too much exploration, and most of the techniques can be used as long as they are found.

And the color-resistant magic took shape late, and even if it catches up with the elven magic that has now declined, it will take a huge amount of manpower and material resources to study hard, let alone surpass it.

Large-scale magical activities are restricted, almost as much as cutting off the flourishing of color-resistant magic.

It is like the partnership of advanced industrial countries on the planet to restrict the industrial development of non-industrial or backward industrial countries for various reasons.

The first dividend is full of oil, but refuses to let the latecomers get a piece of the pie.

In fact, the current development of Nesser, except for Xia Duo, including the Seven Towers, is actually a little weak.

Conservatism is prevalent, and it is difficult to unify internal thinking and action, and we can only rely on a few "fierce men from the sky" to achieve explosive development at a certain stage, but cannot form an internal driving force for long-term stable development.

If the Demon Restriction Treaty comes again, if it weren't for the variable of Xia Duo, it might be in a collapse.

Even if there is a "macho man from the sky" like Iorim, who can promote rapid development for a while, it will inevitably end in internal friction and collapse.

……

in a vacuum.

Xia Duo kept more than a dozen wind elemental plane passages existing at the same time, replenishing the air of the azurite plane, and at the same time thought about the future path.

Now that Mithera can be practical, the industrial age is approaching, and the most important thing in the new era is people, and there is no doubt that we must strive to develop the population in the future.

Whether it is to encourage childbearing or to bring in outsiders, in short, to increase the population by all means, and at the same time integrate the assimilation work, or the New Life Movement, must continue to go hand in hand.

Tied with the population are resources.

To maintain the operation of a complex society with a large population, a lot of resources are needed, involving clothing, food, housing, transportation, and even entertainment and development.

In this regard, Xia Duo is not too worried for the time being, mainly because at this stage, the Great Xia Territory is still in the transition stage, and the vast majority of the people do not have too many material needs.

Perhaps, yes, but what he, the lord, has provided beyond the imagination of the lords.

The people outside the Great Xia Domain, I'm afraid that they can't imagine what it would be like to have a fixed rest day every week, a fixed working hours every day, and a certain remuneration as long as they work.

Not to mention ordinary people, even most spellcasters probably can't imagine what the scene of education for all looks like.

There is even a special department of culture and education, which creates poetry and drama for the people to meet their spiritual needs.

Compared to the almost serf-like life of the people of other territories, the people of the Great Xia Territory are like living in heaven.

For quite a while, in terms of the regular resources of the territory, Xia Duo did not need to invest too much, and the people themselves could create everything they needed.

The resources he cares about are more in the raw materials of magic items, which is related to the sustainable development of a high-consumption "government, industry, academia and research" system like [Tower of Time-Territory].

At present, the volume of [Tower of Time-Territory] is still too small to achieve complete internal circulation, and it needs to be developed with the help of external resources.

But even if you can circulate internally, if you want to develop and grow faster, you still can't do without the help of external resources.
