Lord of Arcane

Chapter 241 Artisan Waters Casting
Back at the camp, Layton sent Xia Duo today's personnel evaluation situation. Xia Duo flipped through it page by page, with ordinary citizens in front and slaves in the back.

Perhaps because the order was just announced today, everyone performed quite well today, and Layton rated everyone as "excellent".

At the end of the overturn, there is another booklet, which is a roster of all personnel, including soldiers. Layton sorted out everyone's past experience and skills, which Xia Duo specifically asked him to do.

At this time, after seeing the book, it was exactly what he wanted to see. This roster was probably the first household registration information of the territory.

"Lighton, isn't there a craftsman here? This slave named 'Stone', a stonemason? He made the stone bowl on the altar?"

"My lord, I chiseled out that bowl with my own hands." Layton immediately explained, "And this slave named Stone is indeed a stonemason, and I chiseled out that bowl with my own hands under his guidance."

Although Leiden didn't like these slaves, it was simply because they escaped from the original lord's call, and he would not hide the abilities of the slaves.

The doctrine does not allow him to lie to the lord, and he himself is not willing to lie.

"Well, and this Carpenter, the carpenter?"

"Correct."

There are so many talents among these slaves!Among the more than 20 people, there were two craftsmen, and among the fifty or sixty official citizens he recruited in the Savile Territory, there was only one cobbler.

This is a bit worse!

"These two people temporarily let them work with other slaves, but you have to pay attention to it, and I will release them as slaves when the time is right."

"Yes!"

"That's it." Xia Duo handed back the personnel roster and evaluation records. For the time being, Layton needs to do all these tasks first.

There are still too few people!

He is now hoping that the Slavin Chamber of Commerce can get him more slaves from the mainland. As for recruiting from Savile, he has no hope.

It is not bad to have this batch of five or sixty people as a base, and the follow-up may be sent one by two, which really cannot satisfy his appetite.

……

After Layton left, Xia Duo came to the bank of the river and walked into the river step by step. He had recorded a set of elements from the magic arrow in the mysia, but there was no magic laboratory here. method of method -

Spread consciousness into the water body, use this section of the river to conduct spell experiments, even if it fails, it will be borne by the Wolfburg River.

Of course, this is just an idea. Anyway, he is going to conduct an experiment, so why not just try it once.

If it succeeds, it will not only be more convenient to experiment with spells, but more importantly - once the water area he can control becomes wider, wouldn't it be possible to extend spells to extreme distances!

This is like, from his current position, he casts a spell through the water, but the spell appears in Savile Town, which means that he may attack the enemy while sitting at home, but the enemy does not know him.

And this is just [Water Control], there is also a part about the wind, rain and thunder in the blood inheritance information, so can it still be used to cast spells?
But all of this is just Xia Duo's imagination, whether it is feasible or not depends on this attempt to use the water to cast spells!
At the bottom of the Wolfburg River, Xia Duo lay quietly on the river bed, consciousness slowly spreading from his body, as if the surrounding river water had also become his limbs and blood vessels.

Xia Duo did not spread his consciousness to the limit that he could control. When it reached the limit, although he could still think normally, it was like an instinct. It was impossible to cast spells in such a state.

He just extended his consciousness to both sides of Fort Worf, and spread about 20 meters upstream and downstream. He felt that once he exceeded this range, he would not be able to cast spells.

This feeling is very strange and simple, as if a person can only lift 100 pounds, then he is very sensitive to the concept of 100 pounds.

What things can be lifted and what things can't be lifted, I have a rough standard in my heart.

The state of concentration is a state of very concentrated mental will, which is equivalent to a person using all his strength. Whether a person has used all his strength and whether he is in a state of concentration can be easily judged.

And a simpler way to judge is to use the magic net to "see" the magic net in a state of concentration. If there are distracting thoughts in the mind, or the consciousness is not concentrated enough, then naturally you will not be able to see it.

Also maintaining focus, like using all your strength, requires physical strength or energy. In short, it cannot be without consumption, and it becomes impossible to maintain it if you consume too much.

Casting a spell is a more draining activity than maintaining concentration, so resting is only required after casting a spell.

Xia Duo maintains a state of concentration while controlling the waters, and can only affect the river section of about 50 meters at most. For the strategic target who wants to hit the enemy from home, this is a starting state.

Whether it is possible to use the water to cast spells, the first step is to pull the magic net. As long as it can interact with the magic net, it will be a zero breakthrough.

The follow-up is just the accumulation of complexity.

In the first step, Xia Duo didn't do any difficult things, just like a sorcerer's apprentice doing spellcasting practice, just pulling a string of the magic net, twisting and winding...

Any element he has mastered can be easily realized, that is to say——

You can use the water to cast spells!

Xia Duo was agitated, and he knew what this meant, even if he thought about it with his toes, aside from the expansion of the casting range, after all, he didn't need it now.

Just being able to replace him with water waters to bear the backlash of failing to cast a spell is enough to make him cheer.

The magic net stabilization effect of the spell laboratory is related to the strength of the spell experiment. The first level is 1 gold coins for an hour, the second level is 10, and so on.

And as a mage, I don't know how much time I will spend on spellcasting training and experimenting with spells in the future. The money saved here is not a small amount.

Of course, some very dangerous spells with a huge range of influence also need to be carefully tested, after all, the waters he can control are always limited.

However, this is just a shortcoming that is not considered a shortcoming. Even in the magic laboratory, there are many accidents. Just like the last arcane competition, Palos was absent because of the instructor's experimental accident.

Caution is needed at all times.

After trying a single-element spell that was simpler than [Magic Trick], Xia Duo restrained his ecstasy and continued to try [Light Art]. This spell has only twelve elements, and it is a relatively easy entry-level spell.

Almost at the moment of his thinking, a hazy ball of light appeared at the bottom of the river 20 meters away.

The flow of the river itself, coupled with the ripples blown by the breeze, if this is someone looking at this side from a distance, you can see the sparks flickering on the river surface, like starlight entering the water, or like the eyes of underwater monsters .
