Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2540 Theater Experience
Seeing Jay's R&D schedule now, Xiaduo suddenly started the idea of ​​mass producing and selling household magic appliances. This idea is also in line with the development trend of the new order of Netheril.

For quite some time to come, Netheril will focus on development, so the mass production of traditional magic items, such as scrolls, wands, and amulets, will not be so popular.

Those things are actually more like arms, suitable for troubled times. If it is a period of peaceful development, it may be more profitable to develop civilian products.

Xia Duo refers to the comparison of the output value of civilian and military industries in his hometown. The former is almost ten times that of the latter, which is already an order of magnitude worse.

Fortunately, after the Tower of Time entered the era of mass production, the main output was placed on the communication magic weapon, and several generations of products were also separated to continuously absorb resources from the outside.

In the future, it can be predicted that there will be an extremely huge market for household magic appliances. Of course, this market is still in its infancy. At present, only the southern region has this potential.

However, as the influence of the Great Xia Territory continues to penetrate the mainland, sooner or later the various territories in the mainland will follow up to develop this market. In this case, we must make preparations in advance.

……

Xia Duo didn't stay long at the lord's villa in Linshui Village. After getting a general idea of ​​the latest development of the territory, he left the villa very quickly, but he didn't return to the Tower of Time immediately, but came to the Elemental Fountain at the end of the Linshui River place.

Of course, he did not come here this time to see the scenery or check whether the gems in the spring had grown, but to come to see Lawrence. Since Lawrence met with Xia Duo when he passed through Severnton when Lawrence returned from the Kingdom of Akola last time, he has never been there again. Haven't seen it before.

He really wanted to know how Lawrence was preparing for the art festival a month later. Although he had just seen the progress report handed over by the Ministry of Culture and Education in the study of the villa, it was better to listen to the first person in charge.

Moreover, there is the first theater, the first cultural center, and the first art gallery on the side of the Element Fountain. At present, more than half of the people in the Ministry of Culture and Education of the territory put their daily work here.

The remaining half are mostly responsible for the construction of the territory's schools and the compilation of teaching materials. These people still stay in the government affairs hall on the south side of the altar square.

The Ministry of Culture and Education is actually a collective name for culture and education. Of course, it also has the meaning of civilized education. It may be split into two departments in the future, but they are still mixed together, and Lawrence is mainly in charge.

Xia Duo walked over from the altar square, and slowed down to observe for a while at the fountain of elements. At this moment, some citizens who were leisurely here had noticed his existence. Xia Duo waved to those people kindly, and then walked around Pass the Codex Square next to it, and come to the north side of the Elemental Fountain, which is almost the farthest point affected by the misty elemental mist of the fountain.

A large building stands alone in the open space. To the south is the Elemental Fountain, to the east is the [Big Xia-Saville Passage], and to the north and west are virgin forests that have not been cleaned up.

There are several barracks near the edge of the forest. When Xia Duo arrives at this time, he can still see soldiers holding tracking instruments entering the forest to perform tasks.

The building complex where the theater is located seems to stand alone here, but on the east side of the [Big Xia-Saville Passage] is the new village where the territory has been granted, and it has extended from south to north to the far north.

It can be seen that Leiden's plan to build a central town in the middle of the [Great Xia-Saville Passage] is not a brainstorming idea, but has a realistic basis.

Residents of the new village who come to the theater and cultural center for leisure and entertainment only need to pass through the [Daxia-Saville Passage] (500 new meters in total width, only the middle 100 new meters are paved with floor tiles), which is not too far away.

Xia Duo reckoned that there were residents of the new village opposite the theater among the tourists who had just seen at the Element Fountain, and there were even more people on the side of the theater.

After all, there are not many entertainment venues available in the Territory. Although the theater here is not the only theater in the Territory, it is the first and largest theater in the Territory.

Other theaters don’t have performances every day, but this one has performances every day, and generally speaking, new plays can only be seen here, and only after performing here for a period of time will they tour other theaters.

Of course, there are currently only three theaters in the territory, which is more abundant than in the past, but there are relatively insufficient entertainers, and basically only one theater can perform around the clock.

Now this year, the territory has suddenly increased by 30 people, and the three theaters alone are even less. Even if cultural centers and art galleries are added, the average of tens of thousands of people is extremely scarce.

Of course, there are more entertainment venues than these, these can only be regarded as the entertainment part of entertainment venues, and there are places for pure entertainment such as taverns, bathhouses, and chess and card rooms.

Fortunately, most of Xia Duo's citizens used to live at the bottom. Although life has improved a lot now, the need for entertainment is not so strong.

In other territories, it is impossible to have such treatment.

……

theater.

Xia Duo not only saw Lawrence, but also met the bards who joined the Great Xia Territory at the same time as Lawrence. When Xia Duo arrived, these people were rehearsing a new play.

Xia Duo was sure he hadn't seen it before, so he prevented Lawrence from pausing, watched quietly for a while, and found that this new play seemed to be adapted by Lawrence based on his own experience.

It is about a human who came to the kingdom of elves due to an accident, and was attracted by the scenery and culture of the elf world. He was once addicted to it and felt sorry for himself as a human being.

Later, in the study and research of elf art, he found the unique meaning of the existence of himself and the human race, and finally returned to the human world and became a great artist of a generation.

In Xiaduo's view, this is a relatively old-fashioned story based on the main theme, but it may be different in Netheril, which has not been baptized by the information explosion.

Xia Duo could see that at least Lawrence and the others were very emotional during the rehearsal, and the faces of the residents of the new village who were also watching were flushed with excitement, as if they were moved by the experience of the protagonist in the play.

"Lawrence, please stop, I have something to ask you."

Xia Duo called Lawrence to the outside office, first commented on the new drama that he had just seen, and then put forward some suggestions for improvement, mainly changing the protagonist's identity to Daxia leading literary youth.

Just using a human being is too inconspicuous. Since it is the main theme, then follow through to the end. Not only set the protagonist of the new drama as a young literary and artistic youth in Daxia, but also intersperse Daxia's characteristics, and point out that the reason for the protagonist's awakening is because Big summer collar, not anything else.

Of course, Lawrence fully agreed to this. In fact, when Xia Duo commented, he had already discovered the problem. He had communicated with Akola Kingdom for so long, and he was more or less influenced by that side and became Somewhat reserved.

In fact, his past creation and performance styles tended to be more generous and enthusiastic, and it is precisely because of this that he was attracted by the more generous and enthusiastic Daxia collar.
