Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1012 Turn-Based Crown King Playing Game

How to deal with it?No information is given, how do I know what to do?

Xia Duo couldn't help complaining in his heart, but after he complained, he found that he could perceive relevant background information from the surrounding environment with a little perception.

The golden elf who spoke just now is actually the king of this virtual kingdom—that is, Xia Duo’s own agricultural consultant. However, the reduction of production in plantations such as Searle seems to be an agricultural problem, but in fact it also involves structural social conflicts.

In this virtual kingdom, the plantation is the source of food, and it is almost completely controlled by the Crown Prince and the upper family.

The lower families may be self-sufficient in food, but ordinary people have almost no land of their own. They are all supported by the state, and they can't starve to death.

The reduction in plantation production this time was not a natural disaster, but a druid strike.

Most elves live in the forest. Although they can also build houses and reclaim farmland, the damage to the forest is extremely limited.

If you want to use limited farmland to feed a growing population, you must use more and more advanced agricultural technology.

Mages are naturally skilled, but the vast majority of mages disdain to engage in planting-related matters, so there are druids who specialize in agriculture.

Most of these druids were born at the bottom and made great contributions to the country, but they didn't get the rewards they deserved. They were almost at the bottom of society in terms of social status and living standards.

This time should be the event where the long-oppressed druids rose up to resist.

Xia Duo recalled the relevant situation of the main plane Cormanthor, and found that the situation of the druids had not improved much. Of course, the living standard should have risen a bit, but the teachings stipulated a poor and primitive style.

As for the social status, in fact, it should have risen a bit, but even if the heir of a small family becomes a druid, it will be generally regarded by the society as a corrupt family style.

Comanthor on the main plane should have passed the Excalibur trial for nearly a thousand years. This problem has not been resolved. If the content of the trial is the same, then Kefum has not been able to give any good answer.

Of course, it is also possible that Kephm's words and deeds are inconsistent. Trials are one thing, but becoming the crowned king is another.

Or, continuing to oppress the bottom is the "correct answer" to the trial?
After thinking for a while, Xia Duo still decided to follow his inner choice. At the same time, he also wanted to verify his assumptions about magic civilization.

When perceiving the background information, he learned that as long as his order is executed, this illusion will continue to be deduced until the trial passes or fails.

He would not miss such a good opportunity, even if it caused the trial to fail, he would not hesitate.

After all, magic knowledge can be obtained normally through various normal means, but related social experiments have little chance of trial and error.

Even if there is, it will not be like in this trial illusion, where you can quickly adjust and then experiment again.

However, Xia Duo did not issue an order immediately, but asked other consultants to share their problems, and it would not be too late to make a decision after he had a more comprehensive understanding of the virtual kingdom in this illusion.

Mirage accepted his way of handling it, and then the advisors of the Crown King under the throne began to speak one after another——

"My lord, your treasury was patronized by the high-level mage Taras, and you lost several secret scrolls, books, gems, swords, and armor!"

"Wang, the Muri family has merged several plantations and unilaterally increased the purchase price of the kingdom's grain."

"My lord, the border towns are unbearable to be harassed by the orcs, so I request to move to the Mystic city."

"My lord, many civilian girls have disappeared in the capital recently, and it was found that they were maliciously kidnapped by the children of several high-ranking families."

"My lord, traces of drow's sacrificial ceremony have been found in Yisi City!"

……

Many questions involved various aspects, and through the perception of the surrounding environment, Xia Duo received more information, and for a while he felt dizzy.

Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief when there were no consultants to speak, but before he could think for a long time, a new message suddenly appeared in the surrounding environment, which was nothing but a countdown.

If no order is issued within a day, it will directly enter the settlement stage. Of course, if the order issued is too outrageous, it may be directly judged to fail.

However, after knowing that there is at least one day's time limit, Xia Duo completely relaxed, but relaxation does not mean relaxation, it's just that Kephm failed in a short period of time, which gave him a very strong sense of urgency.

But now it seems that there are obviously different concepts of time inside and outside the trial, so it can be considered carefully.

From this point of view, Kephm of this projected plane may really not be suitable to be the master of the Sword of Dominion.

……

As time passed, the thoughts in Xia Duo's mind gradually improved, and he began to issue orders without really waiting for the deadline——

First of all, it was to announce the arrest of the high mage Taras, but it also left a hole, as long as the other party could find out the whole story behind the sacrifice of the drow in Is City, they could be exempted from the arrest.

Secondly, Xia Duo proposed to formulate relevant laws, stipulating that as long as druids meet certain standards, they can be exempted from compulsory military service.

This step can be regarded as improving the status of the druids, but it is not too much. It does not restrict the forced recruitment of the superiors, and has little impact on the real power holders.

Later, Xia Duo announced the establishment of the Advanced Magic Academy, opening up advanced magic, trying to win over spellcasters, and developing magic.

After the Crown War, whether it is the main plane or the projection plane, the kingdoms of the elves are generally in decline, and the virtual kingdom in this illusion is no exception.

If you want to grow and develop, you naturally need to develop magic.

Xia Duo is confident in completing this point. After all, the elven society advocates art, and the pinnacle of art is magic. Of course, there is resistance, but experiments are always necessary.

Today, the countries of the Starr Forest in the projection plane are not doing well. Not to mention that Uvelen was destroyed by a meteor 1000 years ago. Such a big event, just the Drow War 400 years ago, caused countless bloodshed.

For 400 years, for the elves, there are only more than half of their lives. The elves who experienced the war and survived that year should be regarded as the superiors of all countries, and they should still have a sense of crisis.

In the face of life and death, Xia Duo believes that conservative forces will not gain the upper hand after all.

"Um--"

Halfway through the order, Xia Duo suddenly thought of the drow war on the main plane of Komanthor. Was it deliberately released by someone to "persuade" the conservatives?
It's not impossible. After all, Cormanthor on the main plane has been established for nearly a thousand years, and it is inevitable that conservative forces will rise up after a long period of peace.

The crowned king of Cormanthor has lived from thousands of years ago to the present. He may not have a transcendent perspective to see through everything, and then guide the drow out of the ground and let them wreak havoc in his own country to achieve strategic goals.

Not impossible!

Xia Duo kept these conjectures in his heart, and when he returned to the main plane, he might be able to find some clues by asking around.

……

After that, Xia Duo continued to issue orders. In addition to allowing the border towns to move inward and punishing the dudes in the capital, he also gave specific instructions on some ordinary government affairs.

Just like a turn-based game, although this illusion is given a day to issue orders, it can actually end early.

After this "round", the scene around Xia Duo suddenly changed.

"Fortunately, there is no failure!"

So, the second round came.
