Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1133 Gift of the Power of the People
A luncheon, both guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

In the afternoon, Xia Duo accompanied Saide to visit Linshui Village again, from the altar square to the north, to the first-phase residential area, canteen, and then to the brick kiln built by the Linshui River.

When he got here, Seid subconsciously slowed down. After seeing the working scenes near the two kilns, he finally couldn't help asking:
"Lord Xia Duo, I have been to many territories, but there has never been a territory like Daxia Territory, where the people are so active and busy, but busy and not chaotic, full of a sense of order, in such an order I seem to see an incomparably powerful force being conceived, may I ask what is going on?"

Looking along Seide's field of vision, Xia Duo saw the people who were adding bricks near the kiln, and then more people who brought the bricks from the drying yard in the east by wheelbarrow.

There is no numbness on any face, some only have infinite expectations for a better life in the future, and the light of hope is shining in everyone's eyes.

Seeing such a scene, even if Xia Duo could see it often, he couldn't help being shocked. He was silent for a while, and then said slowly:
"It's actually very simple, I gave them food, clothing, shelter, organized them, and gave them hope.

"Consultant Said, you said that you have been to many territories, so please tell me, have you ever seen those lords give hope to the subjects? Or do you just treat them as a kind of dispensable private property?"

"This--"

Seid was at a loss for words for a moment, but he still couldn't believe it and said, "It's that simple?"

"Of course it's not that simple." Xia Duo shook his head.

He pointed to the citizens who were working not far away, and asked Seid a seemingly irrelevant question: "Consultant Seid, do you think there is a future archmage among those people?"

"The future archmage?"

Said didn't understand why Xia Duo suddenly asked such a question, but he thought about it carefully before replying: "I don't think there will be a great mage among those people, even a low-level mage is unlikely. "

"What if I teach them by my side?" Xia Duo continued to ask.

"Teach yourself?"

Seid glanced at the dozens of citizens over there, and shook his head subconsciously, but then he reacted, "Lord Xiaduo, you said that we are contemptuous of ordinary people? And conservative about the spread of knowledge? "

"more or less!"

Afterwards, Xia Duo asked back in an unusually calm tone: "If these people have been able to get in touch with basic magic knowledge since they were young, and when they grow up, they will be generally and fully cultivated. How many archmages?"

"This, this—" Said was at a loss for words again, and he sighed lightly, with a very complicated expression, "Lord Xia Duo, your thoughts are really—"

"Is it radical? Or delusional? Or is there some possibility?" Xia Duo asked again.

"It is possible!"

Said agreed with this possibility, but he still had mixed feelings about this model. At this time, he finally understood what kind of hope Xia Duo said about "giving hope to the people".
No wonder these leaders are working so hard!

Thinking of this, Seid recalled a phenomenon that he had overlooked when he visited the residential area just now, that is——Big Xia has infants, young adults, and old people, but there are no children who are close to adulthood!
"Lord Xia Duo, have you already started to popularize magic education in the territory?"

Xia Duo didn't answer this question directly, but gave him a rather profound smile, but Seid immediately complied, and he even linked the mass production of magic items by the Tower of Time with this kind of universal education.

If there are not so many new mages, how can there be such a high output?
After all, the output of the Tower of Time in the past is no secret.

Reminiscent of the five-year purchase agreement just signed, Seid became more and more certain about this guess. If there were not so many new mages, how could so many magic materials be needed?
……

Leaving from the brick kiln, Seid took a detour and went back to visit two residential areas, as well as the leveling of the land south of the Tower of Time by the Great Xia leaders.

"Lord Xia Duo, thank you for your hospitality. This trip to the southern border is really worthwhile. If possible, I would like to stay here for a few more days."

When he said this, Seid's face was clearly filled with reluctance, and this expression was not entirely acting. He really liked the food here.

Although Xia Duo's real age may not be as good as Seid's, if you count his incarnation on the projection plane, his age can go straight to the millennium.

Especially Drow Brandon in [Projection Plane: Underdark], hundreds of years of intrigue and intrigue experience have given Xia Duo a lot of harvest.

Also, in [Projection Plane Birth of Comanthor], [Sword of Ruler], the knowledge and experience injected by the high-ranking mage is not only about magic, but also about elves' traditions, rule, battles, and so on.

Although elves and drow are very different from humans, they are both intelligent creatures, and it is not difficult to find empathy for their simple emotions.

In Xia Duo's view, Said's true feelings were at least seven or eight points sincere. Although the two still had differences in their views on some issues, it did not prevent Xia Duo from being happy about it at the moment.

Especially this is his strategic partner for a long time in the future.

"Then stay for a few more days. Is there any urgent matter over there that you must deal with personally?"

It's just that Xia Duo's words are more formulaic than Said's sincerity. Although these words are true, when he said these words, he had already made plans to postpone the land awarding ceremony.

He was going to start with the land granting laws and regulations at the granting ceremony to build a cycle of order in the territory. It would be somewhat inconvenient for an extra senior arcanist to be present.

But Saide did not stay, but bluntly returned: "The president is still waiting for me to report back! Next time I come back, I must stay a few more days!"

"Big Xia collar welcomes Saide's advisors at any time!"

In this regard, Xia Duo did not stay too much. The relationship between the casters was relatively weak. If the Tower of Time and the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce had not become strategic partners, he would not even stay.

Before sending Said to the teleportation circle, Xia Duo also gave him a "Great Summer Food Recipe", which recorded the methods of making various kitchen utensils, tableware, and food.

Let Saide also have the opportunity to continue tasting Daxia delicacies after returning to Severton.

"Thank you Lord Xia Duo for your generous gift. I will order someone to try it when I go back. Lord Xia Duo should be able to taste the food from his hometown next time he visits the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce!"

Xia Duo nodded, "I'm looking forward to it!"

"Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"
