Lord of Arcane

Chapter 217 Drafting of Legal Debt
The joining of Layton brought new opportunities for the development of the Great Xia Territory. Chateau Laidon kept asking about the situation of the temple, hoping to dig out a few more magic spellcasters through Layton.

Of course, one must be a believer in the Lord of Radiance.

In the living room of Mrs. Patty's house, Xia Duo and Priest Layton had a happy conversation. Even in front of Mrs. Patty and Alman, Xia Duo said very bluntly:

"I have the help of the priest of Leighton, as a fish finds water!"

Although it is difficult to connect the monarch and his ministers with fish and water, the keen perception cultivated by the priest of Leiden who is always with God can still make him feel Xia Duo's sincerity and trust.

Layton was very moved and delighted, not only because the way of the Lord of Radiance will be practiced on the ground and his authority will be expanded, but also because of Xia Duo's trust in him.

"My lord, Layton will swear to the death to uphold the law you created!"

Xia Duo nodded in satisfaction. In fact, as far as trust is concerned, he may not trust Layton too much. The relationship between people is not so easy to close. He is just based on a rational judgment.

Rather than saying that he trusted Layton, it would be better to say that he trusted the Lord of Radiance and the tacit understanding between the Lord and the temple in Netheril over the years.

"Leighton, where do you live now?"

"I am an orphan and have been living in the temple."

"So——" Xia Duo thought for a while, then looked at Mrs. Patty, "Madam, please prepare a few houses for me near the port, and let the recruited people live in first."

"No problem, the Liadon Chamber of Commerce has two warehouses at the port, and they can accommodate people with a little renovation." Mrs. Patty immediately promised.

"Okay!" Xia Duo continued to order Layton, "Mrs. Patty has recruited 20 new citizens for me. You move over and tell them "Proverbs."

Speaking of "Proverbs" is naturally to strengthen the rule. Now he is standing in the seat of the lord, and he likes "Proverbs" no matter what he reads.

And this is exactly what Layton wanted, "My lord, I will definitely do this well!"

What could make him happier than being able to personally practice the teachings of the Lord of Radiance!
After explaining this matter, Xia Duo arranged for Layton to sort out the relevant laws of Netheril and Saville for his reference.

He cannot change the prevailing laws of Netheril, but when it comes to a certain territory, the lord has absolute authority and can formulate any local laws that do not conflict with the laws of the empire.

Now that he is about to own a territory, Xia Duo naturally wants to transform it according to his own will, allowing his will to permeate every aspect of the territory.

……

After Leiden left, Xia Duo chatted with Arman for a while, and after leaving his own secret mark on the back of his hand, Xia Duo returned to the Mage Tower.

In the next few days, Xia Duo would leave the Mage Tower for a while at noon every day. In addition to going to Liaton Chamber of Commerce to understand the situation, Hans, Flash Gold, and Slavin Chamber of Commerce also needed attention.

That day, he had just returned to the Master Tower after meeting the first batch of citizens from the Great Xia Territory at the port warehouse, when Niya sent a message asking Xia Duo to go to her residence.

Only then did Xia Duo realize that this afternoon was the time for Niya to teach "Intermediate Arcane Geometry". He immediately returned to his room to get the book and came to Niya's side.

"tutor."

"Well." Niya didn't chat, and started the topic directly, ""Intermediate Arcane Geometry" is a must-learn course for low-level mages in the Pure White Tower. Do you know why?"

"Is it to train arcanists?" Xia Duo answered casually according to his own understanding.

"Yes, even the sorcerer apprentices of the Pure White Tower have studied the elementary courses. This is the will of the Grand Arcanist. Although the Tower of Time does not have such regulations, I hope you can do it. Next, I will use the pure white The Tower Standard demands of you."

Seeing that Niya didn't seem to be joking, Xia Duo quickly said: "Mr. Niya, wait a minute, what is the standard of the pure white tower you are talking about?"

The mentor on the side of the Pure White Tower must be stronger than the Tower of Time. Use the standards there to demand yourself, but what about the mentor?
"Proficient in intermediate arcane geometry before intermediate level, and proficient in advanced arcane geometry before high level, this is almost the only way to become an arcanist."

As if seeing Xia Duo's worry, Niya added, "I've already learned advanced arcane geometry, so I don't have any problem teaching you!"

"Hey." Xia Duo didn't speak again.

Next is Niya's teaching time. Maybe Niya has really finished "Advanced Arcane Geometry", but her teaching level is still at the elementary stage.

After a while, Xia Duo found that what Nya said was very similar to the book "Intermediate Arcane Geometry", and he thought that "Elementary" had a magic book, and maybe the intermediate level also had a magic book.

Niya, on the other hand, just followed the contents of the magic book. The contents of the magic book are more detailed than ordinary books. If Xia Duo hadn't read the "Elementary" magic book, she might not have noticed it at all.

Reminiscent of the magic book "Elementary", it clearly shows that it was compiled by the great arcanist Xavier based on Iolum's teaching.

Perhaps Nether does not have systematic pedagogy at all, and Xia Duo can clearly feel that the details in the "Elementary" course are inappropriate.

The same may be true of "Intermediate".

With this in mind, Xia Duo said that he hoped to answer questions tomorrow. Answering questions is the time to show the true strength of the instructor, and the teaching is still a bit unsatisfactory.

While listening, Xia Duo compared what Nya said with the content in the regular edition of "Intermediate Arcane Geometry", and sometimes recorded some key points in his notes.

The afternoon passed quickly, and just as Xia Duo was about to leave, Niya stopped him suddenly, "The territory is about to be opened up, do you need any help?"

Xia Duo didn't react for a while, but then he realized that Niya's territory development meant the Savile Territory, and Xia Duo was overjoyed. Does this mean that the elf mages outside have been eliminated?
As for Niya's offer of help, Xia Duo hesitated and refused, "Thank you, mentor, but the lord has already provided me with a batch of supplies and a team of soldiers."

In the current situation, it is no problem to satisfy the initial development.If there is a real need, Xia Duo certainly doesn't mind asking others for help.

Xia Duo felt that Nya felt owed to him because of the Nether scroll, but this was a wishful transaction between him and Lord Savile, and it was really inappropriate to gain benefits from Nya.

However, Xia Duo didn't want the substantive benefits, but he had already obtained some hidden benefits.Xia Duo remembered that Niya said before that he would demand him according to the standard of the pure white tower. Perhaps a responsible mentor would be a good harvest.

……

After returning to the residence, Xia Duo immediately sent a message to Yarman, asking him to send someone to pay attention to the lord's pioneering team, how many people there are, and whether there are spellcasters and other information.

After that, Xia Duo sorted out the magic scrolls he made during this period, a total of 45 copies, most of which were [Magic Weapon] and [Magic Alarm].

This is the spell needed to open up the territory, but Xia Duo is not going to use these scrolls in the Daxia collar. If you sell it for money, you can sell more than 20 gold coins per piece. If you use it directly, it is too extravagant!

Xia Duo is going to exchange these into gold coins, and then into personnel and supplies.As far as magic is concerned, he is enough.

In order to increase his authority in the Mage Tower in the future, Xia Duo plans to sell these scrolls directly to the Mage Tower, waiving the task indicators that he has not yet completed for his previous promotion authority.

After this matter is over, Xia Duo's scroll will be used to pay off the debt.
