Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1576 Recruitment plan to return to Blue Crystal
noon.

When Xia Duo and Niya returned to Linshui Village for lunch, the chief guard Norman suddenly brought Layton to the restaurant on the first floor of the lord's villa, and then quietly retreated out.

"My lord, I'm here to deliver the recruitment plan."

"Oh? So fast?"

Xia Duo quickly put down his chopsticks and took the plan from Layton's hand. When he opened it, it was Layton's neat handwriting. After reading it quickly, Xia Duo closed the plan, thought it over, and gave instructions:

"The plan is well done, but there are two points that need to be adjusted——

"First, there are too many people assigned to the development department. The focus should be on the areas of the territory and people's livelihood, food, clothing, housing and transportation. I hope that at least half of the magic affairs officers will be assigned, followed by the development.

"Secondly, the Territorial Guard must also assign at least two Magic Affairs Officers to cooperate with the guard in training new equipment and even further research on tactics."

Improving the people's livelihood has always been what Xia Duo hopes to do. Although the current people's livelihood in the Daxia Territory is many times better than other territories, the process of magic penetrating into the people's livelihood is also a process of continuous penetration of the ideas of the Advanced Society.

This is a good starting point, and Xia Duo is naturally very concerned about it.

Secondly, in the military field, the Territory Guard has already drawn up a new team of about a hundred people, equipped with the latest standard magic equipment.

Including fireball wands with fixed firing directions, counter rings to counteract common spell effects, different types of restriction rings, flying belts, and communication instruments with fixed targets.

Xia Duo's original plan was to let this centurion patrol the [Great Xia-Saville Passage], but until today, nearly half a year after completing the equipment, he still failed to achieve the training goal he wanted.

Most people can't even use these new equipment proficiently, let alone form combat power.

It was a helpless move to arrange two magic affairs officers for them. Xia Duo admitted that he had too underestimated the difficulty of ordinary people learning to use magic items.

For things like magic scrolls that have a fixed startup port, if you learn one, you can count many others. It is nothing more than a matter of proficiency and choosing the right time.

But now the new equipment equipped by the Centuries has a variety of different activation ports. This is mainly for the convenience of ordinary people to distinguish between different magic items, so as to avoid the increase in the probability of accidental touch and activation caused by using the same activation port.

In fact, Xia Duo was more or less eager for success. After the proportion of mages in the established system reached a certain level, the formed magic troops would naturally be born instead of artificially piled up now.

But the reality also has realistic considerations. If you wait until the construction is slow, you don’t know how long you will have to wait, and the most important thing is——

At this stage, spellcasters are more suitable for production and creation, rather than fighting. It is too extravagant to directly select soldiers from spellcasters.

At least for a period of time, Xia Duo still prefers to train and cultivate existing ordinary soldiers, rather than directly turning spellcasters into magic warriors.

However, with the continuous advancement of the industrialization of magic in the future, and the further complexity and specialization of military equipment, users will inevitably be required to receive more professional magic education, instead of simply pulling a few ordinary people to train to form combat power.

Similar to the earth, the requirements for high-level military personnel (including combat, command, and research) in all aspects of quality have become higher and higher with the development of science and technology.

……

Except for the two points mentioned by Xia Duo, there is basically nothing wrong with the plan. After commenting, Xia Duo asked Layton to send the revised recruitment plan directly to the Tower of Time Personnel Department instead of sending it to He read it.

After Layton left, lunch continued, and after the meal, Xia Duo continued to supervise Nya's test papers. In this way until the evening, Niya finally completed one-third of all preliminary test papers.

And the remaining two-thirds were quickly completed in the next two days. This afternoon, Xia Duo took back the last test paper and told Niya:

"I'll give you two days off next, and go to the blue crystal plane with me?"

"The blue crystal plane?"

When she first heard this somewhat familiar name, Niya's eyes were a little confused. Apart from eating and sleeping, her mind was almost occupied by endless topics these days. Now that she suddenly relaxed, she was really at a loss as to what to do.

"Azurite plane! Did you forget? We just went there a few days ago." Xia Duo reminded.

Only then did Niya come back to her senses, her eyes became more focused, and she said excitedly: "Of course I know, you are all ready, are you going to start building the floating city?"

"It's not completely ready yet, but it's okay to build the main body first, and it's necessary."

"Then let's go now?" Niya eagerly asked.

Xia Duo nodded, and said, "Go to the preparation hall first, and I'll go there with a few documents."

"Well, I'll open the portal first, hurry up!"

After speaking, Niya disappeared, and Xia Duo quickly came to the sixth floor of the Tower of Time, and got three design proposals from Horst and other three independent research laboratories.

In the past few days, he distributed four batches of nearly a hundred design tasks to these three independent research laboratories. However, after several days, each research laboratory only handed over one proposal.

Of course, with the continuous familiarization over there and the continuous feedback from Xia Duo, the efficiency of the three research rooms will definitely continue to improve, and Xia Duo can't wait.

……

Azurite plane.

Returning to this pure twilight waters again, Xia Duo's restless heart became calm at this moment.

Super-large strategic magic devices like the Floating Void City will inevitably appear with the development of magic, but at this moment, it happens to be born in my own hands, so there is nothing to be excited about.

"Do you want to start?" Niya asked.

"No hurry, go check the situation on the island first."

I haven’t been here for five or six days, Xia Duo is still very concerned about the [Mythra] device, and the other is the loss of air on the vacuum side. This is an important basis for the output power of the air factory, and it is also an important part of the transformation of the plane. Pay attention to.

Then, the two came to the back of the Murloc Island. The [Mythra] device in the center of the island was running smoothly without any abnormalities.

Xia Duo checked the positioning detection beads on the edge of the floating field. In six days, the field changed slightly, which made the positioning detection beads not in the same straight line.

But the change was not obvious, he speculated that at least twice as many changes would be needed to have an actual impact on the [Mythra] device.

But the fact is that this change is not fixed in a certain direction, but fluctuates. Xia Duo decided to observe for a period of time before deciding whether to restart the correction.

Speaking of which, if other people do not have a portable space to temporarily store the [Mythra] device, it may not be very easy to restart and correct the floating field.

"Xia Duo, come quickly, there are so many crystals of arcane energy!"

"coming!"

Xia Duo also wanted to see how many arcane energy crystals had been produced in the past six days.
