Lord of Arcane

Chapter 256 Returning to the Territory (ask for a monthly pass!)
In the lord's study room, Niya was sitting behind the desk in good spirits, with a smile on her lips. After Xia Duo came and sat down, she was still cheerful.

It seems that reading [Nai Se Scroll] has really benefited her a lot, so much so that she is a little carried away.

cough--

"Teacher, I'm going back to the territory."

As he spoke, Xia Duo took a few steps forward, took out the robe and headband that Niya had lent him from the dimensional bag, and put them on her desk, "Also, return these equipment to the instructor now."

Niya pulled the robe towards her, stretched out her hand to stroke it gently, and said in a leisurely tone, "No hurry, you haven't answered any questions when you return to the Tower of Time this time? I'm free all day today."

Um?Xia Duo murmured in his heart. He does have a lot of problems now, but he doesn't know whether his progress will scare Niya. He has too many assumptions about the three-ring spell.

After thinking about it, I said after a while, "Teacher, I have been in the projection plane for a long time, and I have finished studying that "Intermediate Arcane Geometry"."

This is indeed the case, and it is even more in-depth, but the end of the "Intermediate Arcane Geometry" is actually written as "to be continued".

Niya said before: Proficiency in intermediate arcane geometry before intermediate level, and advanced arcane geometry before high level is almost the only way to become an arcanist.

And Xia Duo is now an intermediate level, and he doesn't know whether he has reached the level of proficiency. If not, he still needs to make up lessons.

After hearing Xia Duo's answer, Niya was a little surprised, but then she showed a dazed expression, stretched out her hand, a white light flashed, and a book appeared in her hand.

Xia Duo glanced at it, and it said "Intermediate Arcane Geometry", and he was determined.

Sure enough, Niya pointed at him, and the book floated towards him, and said at the same time: "It seems that you have gained a lot in the projection plane, this is another part of "Intermediate Arcane Geometry", next time you come, I'll answer your questions again."

Uh--

Regarding the projected plane, Xia Duo was not easy to answer. He took the book and answered, "Yes!"

"The mentor, I'll leave first, I don't worry about the territory."

"Well, let's go."

Nya waved her hand, and was about to put away the robe and headband on the table, as if thinking of something, she quickly called Xia Duo, "Wait!"

"Teacher, what else can I order?" Xia Duo turned to look at Niya.

"Did you buy your dimensional bag at the Alpha Federation?" Niya asked.

"Yes, mentor."

"Just to remind you, it's best not to put valuables in a dimensional bag, especially not in a dimensional bag that you didn't make yourself."

Um?Xia Duo subconsciously touched the dimensional bag in his arms, could it be——

"Could it be that the maker of the dimensional bag can steal what I put in it?"

"That's right." Niya nodded, "It's not a secret among middle-level mages, but normally, even if the creator wants to steal the items in the dimensional bag, he needs to pay a certain price. You just need to Just don't put valuables in there."

"..."

Xia Duo suddenly wants to learn how to make a dimensional bag. The bag itself can be sold for money. If someone puts the treasure in it, it will be a huge profit.

But this kind of thing can't be done often. If the reputation is bad, no one will buy it.

It's no wonder that when he was in the Austrian Law Federation, the steward deliberately emphasized that it was a masterpiece of a certain master, even if it was just a second-hand product, he had to pay him 2000 gold coins.

This should be similar to insurance.

However, no matter how good the insurance is, it is impossible to be absolutely safe. Fortunately, Xia Duo bought the dimensional bag just as an ornament to cover up his personal space.

"I see, thank you for reminding me, Teacher."

……

Next, Xia Duo spent two days transcribing the "Intermediate Arcane Geometry", and then took the "Lucky Owen" that had been on standby at the port to Daxia.

It took a little longer to return to the Tower of Time this time, not counting the one-year period on the projection plane, and nearly ten days had passed on the main plane alone.

When returning to Daxia Territory on the "Lucky Owen", Xia Duo was still worried about the situation in the Territory, for fear that less than 100 people in the Territory would be eaten by trolls.

After the trolls that attacked last time were wiped out, Xia Duo didn't search too far. It can be predicted that there must be trolls near the territory.

Even if there are no trolls, there must be goblins. God knows if there will be a few bear goblins mutated in it, that would be bad enough.

In addition, other wild animals, snakes and insects in the forest are threatening the lives of the people almost all the time, and I don't know if Priest Layton can handle it.

From Savile to Great Xia, and down the Wolfburg River, Xia Duo stood at the bow of the boat and looked ahead, with empty eyes and various mysteries in his mind.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh, "Sure enough, fantasies are useless, we still need to practice more and experiment more!"

True knowledge comes from practice, and it is also applicable in the magical world.On the boat, Xia Duo could only do some simple magic net observation experiments, such as memorizing spells, trying to figure out theories, and copying scrolls.

……

Half a day later, the "Lucky Owen" arrived at the landing site of the Daxia leader's temporary camp. From a distance, Xia Duo saw the achievements of the leaders over time——

The land between the shrine of the Lord of Radiance to the north and the temporary camp has been thoroughly sorted out. The ground is full of scorched black marks, and it is connected with the temporary camp to the north.

Although it is not very beautiful, it represents development and civilization.

According to Xia Duo's plan, "Linshui Village" will be built around the altar, and now only the northern part of the altar has been opened up, which is about the size of a football field.

But it is already possible to plan a residence.

After getting off the boat, Layton came to report, "My lord, you have been away for ten days this time. According to the plan you left behind, I have cleared all the land from the north of the altar to the camp."

"Well, are the leaders lazy? What about those slaves?" Xia Duo asked.

"No, all the citizens are very motivated, as for the slaves—" Layton hesitated, and replied: "The other slaves are very peaceful, but two slaves tried to escape, but they were intercepted by Captain Qiao Qi's men." Stay, I have judged them at the altar."

Xia Duo frowned, not because of Layton's trial, after all, he had already given the authorization, but because there were only 26 slaves in total, and two of them escaped!
According to Xia Duo's previous order, if the slave team members commit crimes, the team leader will also be punished, and there is only one punishment for the slaves, and that is the death penalty.

Losing three labors all at once made Xia Duo very distressed, but he had to do this, alas——

"You did a good job!" Xia Duo praised, and then walked towards the altar, followed by Leiden.

It is only 200 meters away from the landing point to the altar, narrower in the east-west direction, only 40-[-] meters, and reaches the river bank in the west.

At this moment, the leaders and slaves are lining up in a line from south to north, and cleaning up eastward. Due to the different efficiency of each person, this line is crooked. Generally speaking, it can be seen that the efficiency of the leaders is higher.

"My lord, last time you mentioned that the food of the backward people's group is not even as good as that of slaves. Everyone is holding back their energy." Layton introduced as he walked.

Xia Duo compared the situation in the territory and listened carefully. Although in Leiden's eyes he had only been away for 10 days, in Xia Duo's own timeline, he had been away for more than a year.

Everything in the territory is fresh and familiar. With Layton's explanation, he is quickly recovering his memory of the territory.

After a while, the two arrived near the altar. Three corpses were hung on a crooked-neck tree to the south of the altar, and their deaths were tragic.
