Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2422 Preliminary preparations are late bloomers
In the end, Xia Duo convinced everyone by promising that the construction of the new floating city would not require much resources. The Tower of Time is not his monopoly. Although he has many plans and foresight, he will listen carefully to everyone's opinions.

Sizing up the situation should be what a qualified leader should do.

……

After persuading everyone to support the plan to build a new floating city, Xia Duo did not stop the construction of Chang'an City. Although Saville's talk of selling Chang'an City is suspected of being arrogant, it is also a good way to recover the cost.

As he promised before, the new floating city has applied a lot of advanced technologies from the Red Heart Alliance, especially the latest version of the arcane string that came out not long before Xia Duo left, which can completely replace Mithril and be used in the floating city.

The bulk of the cost of magic building construction is energy-conducting materials. For the construction of Chang'an City, Xia Duo purchased tens of millions of finished mithril from Leisenling, and there are countless other materials.

Of course, the more expensive one is the spell caster. After all, even if all the materials are collected, it is useless without users.

In the new city, the energy-guiding material can use the arcane energy string (the name of David String in the Red Heart Alliance) recently researched by the Red Heart Alliance, which is similar to the string of the magic net. The cost of materials is very limited after deducting Mithril.

As for labor, Chang'an City is already undergoing infrastructure construction, and other people are just working in another place. It is Xia Duo himself who is really tired.

He needs to preside over the spells and ceremonies in person, and he can't do it with his hands. A city built almost by pure magic makes his scalp tingle just thinking about it.

……

The new city plan Xia Duo has already started preparations in the later stage of [Projection Plane: Red Heart Alliance]. Although there is still a certain distance from completion, it is relative to complete completion.

Compared with the current floating city Chang'an, this plan is already perfect.

However, before the real construction starts, some preliminary preparations need to be made, such as enough demiplanes, which need to be connected to it during the construction stage of the new city Mysuo, similar to Xia Duo's transformation of the practice base in Chixin University, but more Base.

Another example is the design of the casting ceremony. At that time, Xia Duo subconsciously considered using the arcanists of the Red Heart Alliance as assistants. After returning to the main plane, of course, some adjustments need to be made specifically for these existing people in the Tower of Time.

To put it bluntly, simplify as much as possible without affecting the result of casting spells.

However, the main plane also has the advantage of the main plane, that is, the existence of the intelligent brain. The Lingsi network can gather the wisdom of different individuals, and it is more inclined to do creative work in essence. It is only limited by the development of technology, and it is not good enough.

But Zhinao is purely better at repetitive labor. It is essentially a combination of countless spellcasters. It cannot surpass the caster in terms of creative intelligence, but the combination of countless spellcasters is equivalent to countless free wage earners. .

Of course, limited to ectoplasm materials, Xia Duo's intellectual brain has limited individual components, and it cannot be used to replace spellcasting. He can only do some calculation-saving work.

The spell-casting ceremony was designed with the assistance of the brain, and Xia Duo felt that his state was not inferior to the support of the Lingsi network in the Red Heart Alliance.

It's a pity that the brain is only good at computing, and the spirit network of the main plane wants to develop to the level of the Chixin Alliance, and it's not known when it will have to wait!

Although he has only returned to the main plane for two or three days, Xia Duo feels more and more limited everywhere. He needs infrastructure, but there is no infrastructure, and he needs educated talents, but there are not enough educated talents.

This feeling is like a modern person returning to the ancient times. Before Xia Duo traveled from the earth to the main plane, he could use the novelty of magic to alleviate the feeling of retrogression of the times. But after experiencing the modern civilization of the magic world, This is hard to bear.

And this also made him more thirsty for the development of the main plane, and at the same time hated the demons of different timelines that hindered his development.

……

Three days later, Ebok sent back news from Iolum that the recruitment work was proceeding in an orderly manner. Many high-ranking mages had expressed their willingness to join the Tower of Time, but they were hesitant about the request to relocate their family members.

Ebok asked if the conditions could be relaxed, and he would consider relocating his family only after those high-ranking mages were stable on the Tower of Time.

Xia Duo replied, "Students who have been registered by the teacher can relax the conditions. Others need to migrate and join when they enter the job, but you can bring them to Daxia Ling to understand first, and then it is not too late to make a decision."

Xia Duo wants people to be his own, not to attract potential enemies, but at the same time, recruiting is also a two-way choice. He put forward conditions, and if the other party is unwilling, he may not come.

Not long after replying, Xia Duo received another message from Eberke, this time not about the recruitment work, but about the newly promoted Arcanist Depak who went to Iolum together.

The Mystic Temple will perform a star jumping ceremony for every new advanced arcanist. If the newly promoted arcanist is lucky enough, he can also accept the baptism of blue and white secret flames in the ceremony, and restore his youth from then on.

Under normal circumstances, it is up to Ms. Mystery to decide whether or not the Baptism of the Secret Flame will appear, but if the priest of the temple has enough divine grace, he can also take the initiative to perform it, just like Eberke before.

The reason why Xia Duo asked De Parker to follow him was that he hoped that the priest of Iolum led the Mystic Temple to give De Parker a secret flame baptism for his sake.

But he is not 100% sure whether it will be successful.

Just judging from Eberke's description, it seems that the blue and white mithril appeared in the ceremony without the priest paying the divine favor, and De Parker was thus restored to youth.

This saves a favor, but he doesn't understand the reason for the Baptism of Secret Flame. De Parker is not a late-blooming genius, let alone has any outstanding magical achievements. Why is Ms. Mystery willing to baptize De Parker?
Xia Duo is not so arrogant that Ms. Mystery will baptize De Parker for his sake. If the Red Heart Alliance appears on the main plane, it may attract Ms. Mystery's attention, but that is in the astral world, in the projection position noodle.

Unless Ms. Mystery happened to be inside at that time, there was no way to obtain everything that happened inside. After all, God is not omnipotent.

Furthermore, although the origin of the Red Heart Alliance was related to Xia Duo, those magical achievements were not accomplished by him alone, but by countless researchers of the Red Heart Alliance.

Xia Duo himself didn't even realize that there was more divine favor from Ms. Mystery, let alone that the relocation benefited De Parker. There must be something inside that he didn't understand.

First of all, it is certain that De Parker has no outstanding achievements, so it means that he may be a hidden late bloomer?

"Did I see the wrong person?"

Xia Duo shook his head and stopped thinking about this question. No matter what, it is impossible for De Parker to change his temperament because of a secret flame baptism. The left and right are still people from the Tower of Time, so they don't care about what to do.

As for the reason for the baptism of the secret flame, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can ask Ms. Mystery in person.

Xia Duo has no doubts at all about whether he can develop civilization to the level of being close to God in the future. Of course, the road still needs to be taken step by step, otherwise he will become a typical example of "heart is higher than the sky, life is thinner than paper"!
