Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1428 Treating symptoms and root causes forest hike
Gibb has grown so big, he has never experienced the feeling of flying!
But he could imagine the feeling of freedom. Hearing that the lord can equip them with flying tools, this is simply the fulfillment of his dream for decades, and it has been repeated over and over again!

This unrealistic situation really happened in reality, which made Gibb almost unbelievable:
"My lord, is this true? Do you really want to equip us with flying tools?"

"of course it's true!"

Xia Duo said with great certainty.

In fact, if it is not an airship, the airship is difficult to simplify, and there is a lack of long-range attack weapons capable of continuous combat, otherwise it may be more appropriate to directly equip the airship.

However, it is not difficult to equip a solo flight equipment similar to a life jacket used on an airship.

All he was thinking about now was what form the equipment should be made into. As combat equipment, small items such as rings and amulets would be more durable, while armor, belts, and even weapons would be more fragile.

But the cost of the former will be higher, even several times that of the latter.

If it is simply to equip a group of security officers, then 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 the standard equipment for the future territory, then the issue of cost must be considered.

In addition to the independent arcane fire device, what Xia Duo wants most now is Mithril ore. Although there is now a material like David String that can replace Mithril, it cannot be completely replaced.

If there is a mithril mine, perhaps many problems will not be a problem.

Considering the cost, in fact, it is more because I am not rich enough.

……

Then, Xia Duo once again gave Gibb a big surprise——

"In addition to flying tools, there are also protective, attacking equipment, and even restrictive tools, all of which are ready for you at once."

The reason for doing this is also considering that there are more and more spellcasters currently operating in the territory. Although there have been no crimes committed by spellcasters so far, it will almost inevitably happen as time goes by. .

Therefore, it has become an urgent objective demand for the public security station to have a certain ability to restrain and deter spellcasters.

Otherwise, he would have to rely on him for everything, and wouldn't the public security station be just a decoration!
Of course, after taking care of the security station, Xia Duo didn't forget the others, "I'll get someone to send you a batch of amulets later, and everyone in an important position will have one."

In fact, it is a demon-slaying talisman. Although it is specially designed to deal with demons, it is essentially a psychic talisman, which 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 to be very low. Even if each person distributes one, it is not a big deal.

But this is only a passive protective measure, unless Xia Duo gives each of them and even their relatives and friends an invincible protective shield, otherwise there will always be loopholes to exploit.

The real solution is to start from the system.

For example, standardize the administrative process and reduce the role of personal will in it; focus on the pursuit and punishment of those who threaten the officials of the territory, and increase the punishment of the officials themselves for their depravity, etc.

Supplemented by a sound monitoring and supervision mechanism, the problems that the territorial officials themselves may actively or passively avoid to a large extent.

What Xia Duo wants is to create civilization, not to be an eternal ruler. In this regard, he is very generous and open-minded.

Civilization has never been created by an individual, but by a collective, the people.

If you want to be superior to all living beings, you must be prepared to be overthrown by all living beings at any time.

If you accept your superiority at this moment, you must accept your inferiority at that moment. This is logically consistent, and you can't just pretend and stand again!

If you don't want to be inferior to others at that moment, then there is no need to insist on being superior to others at this moment.

Adhering to the equality of all beings has natural justice when resisting oppression, and the need for justice actually exists in the subconsciousness of every intelligent life.

The wheel of history rolls forward, even if evil gains the upper hand for a while, it will definitely be overthrown by the suppressed justice waiting to erupt at any time.

Within a certain range, evil cannot last forever, but justice has a chance to last forever.

Even if it is a utilitarian choice, it is doing good, righteousness, and the public, which can bring more long-term benefits.

What's more, Xia Duo is still a young man with four talents who has initially obtained immortality!
If you can't take the long-term into account, what qualifications do you have to claim to be from your hometown, and what qualifications to have such a long lifespan!
……

After leaving the government affairs hall, Xia Duo took Niya into the depths of the Green Pearl Forest, not only as a rare autumn excursion, but also to explore the geological conditions in the forest.

The exploration tasks issued by the Tower of Time Mission Management Office only involved the areas around Daxia Territory and Savile Territory, and almost never touched the depths of the forest.

After all, even a formal mage may not be able to return safely every time he enters the forest for field exploration, let alone a group of apprentices!

The more people go there, the more chances of accidents will naturally increase.

Xia Duo will not be the kind of cold-blooded mentor who does not take the apprentice's life seriously. Now that he is an apprentice, he may be the builder of magic civilization in the future.

When they are weak, provide adequate protection.

……

Forest.

Xia Duo and Niya rode on the back of the Pegasus and slowly headed towards the east. Compared with their master, the two Pegasus were more adaptable to the rugged, sometimes soft and sometimes hard forest floor.

Far away from the traces of human activities, there are almost no roads in the forest. Vines, fallen leaves, gravel, and even animal skeletons, any imaginable existence in the forest may be encountered in the next moment.

It wasn't just that the elf's Pegasus was born with supernatural powers, bypassing the wild beasts in the forest; it was also the sensitive beasts who sensed that sudden intruders were not easy to mess with. Xia Duo hardly saw any large beasts along the way.

The only one was a lone wolf that I met when I first entered the wild area, but it quickly disappeared into the depths of the forest without leaving any trace.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Niya suddenly started talking:

"Xia Duo, when do you think we will be able to develop here? Do you think we humans are born enemies of the forest?"

"Why do you think so?"

Xia Duo glanced at Niya in surprise, but saw her with a sad face, as if she was intimidated by the endless forest, which made Xia Duo give up what she originally wanted to refute, and instead comforted:
"Death is our final outcome, so can we choose to die now? No, it is precisely because of the existence of death that we need to cherish the present, strive to live every day, and make every day full of meaning!"

These words avoid the debate between the enemy and the enemy, but they also provide side support for the pioneering behavior of human beings. Xia Duo believes that Niya can 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 understand it!"

Niya suddenly winked mischievously at Xia Duo, and the sentimental emotions just now dissipated a lot, obviously she understood Xia Duo's intentions.
