Lord of Arcane

Chapter 344 Focus on training timing magic
After dinner, Gibb and Jockey came to report the situation, and Xia Duo told them about the arrangements for training in using magic items.

They don't need to pick only two to participate like Miles's side, all of them will participate in training here, and then gradually eliminated, all those who can't learn will become second-tier.

Ordinary soldiers without magical power are too fragile for a spellcaster. Although Xia Duo is a spellcaster, just like other spellcasters in this world, many thoughts and methods are aimed at the spellcaster himself.

It feels a bit betrayal of the class, but in fact this is the true thinking of the caster. After all, the caster is the one who knows the caster best.

There is another reason, that is, there is no strong centralized caster regime, and there are no strict safeguards for casters. If there are, then most spellcasters don't need to study these.

There will definitely be spell casters like military police to do this.

Of course, to form a powerful centralized caster regime, unless one day some easily popularized foreign object can overwhelm the caster's own strength, making people ignore the gap between the strong and the weak.

Similar to the appearance of machine guns on the earth, Xia Duo felt that this day should be far away.

Therefore, the best choice for spellcasters is to develop towards the all-rounder, but with more emphasis.

……

After Qiao Qi and Gibb left, Xia Duo began to check the detailed report on the territory that Layton had given him before. Layton recorded all the big and small things.

What Xia Duo cares most about is the population and the development progress. The latter can be seen at a glance when he landed before, but for the former, with the 200 households that Niya called before, there are now hundreds of people in Daxia.

It's like a small society.

This is also the reason why he officially determined the name of Linshui Village as soon as he came.

Now the residential area has been roughly opened up, and the only thing left is to build a house and settle down. In the process, it will continue to expand outwards. Now Xia Duo's biggest headache is the extra wood that comes out every day.

Now the upright trunk logs can be said to be piled up like a mountain, not to mention that the trees do not only have the trunk, on the contrary, the parts other than the trunk take up more space.

In addition to using the soil dug from the river to burn bricks, Xia Duo also wants to make paper. Although wooden paper cannot be used to make magic scrolls, it may not be possible in the future. In addition, once paper can be produced cheaply, it will help spread knowledge.

Perhaps it is no surprise that folk mages will appear in the future.

A mage is both productivity and force!
This is a measure that can greatly enhance the strength of the territory.

In addition to burning bricks and making paper, these woods can also be used to make daily furniture, simple tools, etc., with many uses, but in this era, wood can be said to be the least valuable material unless it has special functions.

Just take two steps outside, just find a tree and cut it down. There is no way, there are too many forests.

While thinking about the future arrangements of the territory, he was also thinking about spell issues. It wasn't that Xia Duo didn't pay attention to work efficiency, but that this method was actually a kind of focused training.

Similar to reading in the hot sun, but it goes a step further.

The degree of concentration is related to the difficulty of perceiving the soul. The more concentrated, the easier it is to perceive the soul. This training method is what Xia Duo saw in the book "How to Perceive the Soul".

Xia Duo is very curious about his soul, because on earth, it is generally believed that the soul is just a metaphysical existence, or it is more appropriate to simply call it "consciousness".

Earthlings do not have a substantial soul, and of course this is difficult to prove or falsify.Xia Duo is very curious about what his soul looks like. It is similar to a transparent human figure, light spot, shadow, or something else described in various novels.

There is no specific description of the soul in the books related to the soul. It only says that the soul is shrouded in a layer of aura, which is related to personal cognition.

It's just that this kind of distraction training is very difficult. Sometimes Xia Duo wonders if his mind is spinning fast enough, so that it seems to be thinking about two things at the same time, but it is actually one thing.

And after this concentration training, there are several trainings, which can be completed in order to improve concentration and reach the level of perceiving the soul.

Mental awareness training is much more difficult than physical training. One is tangible and the other is intangible. If you relax a bit, sometimes you can’t even notice it yourself, and then continue to relax, thinking that you are doing a good job!

Therefore, Xia Duo must remind himself from time to time whether he has been slack during this period, and if there is any, he will correct it and if not, he will encourage him.For this reason, he also specially found a timing magic.

This is the original principle of the blue timing rune on the top of the Tower of Time.

This is a level 1 spell. The inherent fluctuation of the magic net is used to determine a certain period of time. If it is matched with the length of a day, it can be transformed into a timing spell.

This initial level 1 spell is recorded as [Echo Perception] in the Tower of Time, which means to perceive the "echo" of the magic net, not the perception of sound.

The timing spell is ring 3, known as [Magic Moment], it will directly give a specific time when it is cast, accurate to the minute.

Generally, if one asks about the time in the Tower of Time, the Tower Spirit will answer according to the time displayed by the already constant [Magic Moment], which is also the most direct source of the timing rune on the top of the Tower of Time.

Xia Duo didn't need [Magic Moment], which was a time-keeping spell that was as complicated as a clock. He only needed something like an alarm clock. He transformed [Echo Perception] into a 2-level spell.

It didn't take any strange name, it was called [Alarm Clock], simple and clear.

This is a transformation spell. After casting the [Alarm Clock] spell, you will get a specific perception of the magic net. You can set it yourself, and a reminder will be issued every time.

A total of less than 4 hours can be maintained, but for Xia Duo, it is enough and very practical. He does not need to train for 4 hours continuously, which is really unbearable.

Of course, if it really takes longer, you can continue to develop the high-ring version. Xia Duo still has this ability.

Soon, the magic [alarm clock] reminded him that the time was up, and Xia Duo recalled whether he had slackened during this period, and after reflection, he fell asleep peacefully.

In this way, Xia Duo's first day back in the Great Xia Territory passed.

……

In this way, time passed day by day, and the remaining 450 river diggers promised by the mayor of Thain were also sent to the Daxia collar one after another, including 80 soldiers, food, and specially made iron tools.

The north side of Linshui Village has completely become a never-ending construction site.

Seeing that the speed of clearing the trees on the river is increasing day by day, while Xia Duo is happy, he also looks forward to the brick kiln being built as soon as possible.

This will not only consume a lot of wood, but also cooperate with the construction of Linshui Village to implement the brick floor.
