Lord of Arcane

Chapter 385 Turning Mud into Stone Accident Happened
Of course, the real reason is that Xia Duo's demand for bricks is not high. Linshui Village does need bricks to pave the ground, and even build houses and walls, but this is different from food, and this is not a rigid need.

And when he sees the possibility of technological progress, he will naturally want to get better, after all, it's just a matter of time.

Back in the camp, Xia Duo just took out his notes from his portable space, when he suddenly thought that the Savile Land, and even the entire environment of Netheril, did not actually encourage innovation, or innovations other than magic.

Even, there is a faint suppression.

Spellcasters are born from ordinary people, but they look down on ordinary people. Spellcasters need the labor of ordinary people, but suppress the normal productivity development of ordinary people.

When personal power comes from knowledge, it will inevitably tend to be conservative.

It's hard for Xia Duo to imagine what Netheril would look like if there were no foreign enemies. The spellcaster would completely rise to a god, or would it degenerate into a demon?

In countless ordinary people, Xia Duo has seen the prospect of great development and the tragic image of sinking. There are dangers and opportunities in it, and it depends on how he grasps them.

Suddenly, Xia Duo thought of papermaking again.

……

Ten days later, Xia Duo, who was patrolling the territory, suddenly received a message from Egbord that the last step of the element passage was about to be completed, and he was invited to visit.

Xia Duo immediately became interested. In fact, the carrier river channel of the element passage had been completely excavated two days ago, and even the river workers had already returned to Savile Land one after another, preparing for the autumn harvest.

The connection between the river channel and the Wolfburg River was only dug yesterday, diverting the water from the Wolfburg River into the channel, and forcibly creating an artificial river more than a mile long in the forest.

Connecting the Wolfburg River to the Ruins of Mysuo, Xia Duo named it [Linshui River], corresponding to Linshui Village.

It's just that Egbold said that it would take two or three days to prepare before finally completing the construction of the element channel. Unexpectedly, good news came after only one day passed.

This is indeed good news. Once the element channel is built, the magic net riot in the Mysuo ruins will be alleviated. Correspondingly, the Tower of Time does not need to consume so much energy.

Flying all the way, and came to the junction where the Linshui River entered the Mysuo ruins, Xia Duo found that, in addition to the seven already familiar arcanists who participated in the river cleanup before, there were seven or eight more this time.

It's just that Egbold and the others didn't show them any good looks. They didn't come when they were working, and they all came one by one, seeing that they were about to reap the rewards.

The two sides obviously formed two circles, and Xia Duo didn't like to see those few, but as a local lord, he couldn't do too much, so he greeted him from a distance, and then came to Aigberd's side.

"How is it? Is there any trouble?" Xia Duo asked with concern.

"Everything is going well. It's just opening an element channel. With the assistance of Wesley and the others, it will be completed soon." Egbold said a little excitedly.

Due to the different states of the mythos when they collapsed, the final state of the magic nets of the mythos ruins are also different. It is really rare for the Daxia leader to only need to build an element channel to alleviate the magic net riots.

In this case, Egbold has only seen a few cases in the internal library of [Hidden Hand]. He believes that when other people in the organization receive the news here, they will definitely come over.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Xia Duo with some emotion, he is really a lucky young man!
Theoretically, all the magic nets within the range of the Myzhao ruins can be repaired, but under normal circumstances, when the magic nets fall into complete silence, except for [Hidden Hand], basically no one else is willing to repair them.

The reason is very simple. God's grace is not given according to the difficulty of repair, but according to the number of repairs. The repair of the Deathly Silence Demon Net is too difficult. Except for them, the true supporters of the goddess, who would like to do such thankless work!
And here, the magic net that has been alleviated after the riot is the easiest to repair. It is foreseeable that it will not take many years for the magic net environment here to fully return to normal!

The mage tower left by the arcanist, the easy-to-repair magic net, the crystallization of arcane energy, and the grace of God, the core of everything is the Great Xia collar, and it is also the young man in front of him.

Egbold once again lamented Xia Duo's good luck, and then put into the final work with his companions.

……

Xia Duo came to the river. The water of the Linshui River comes from the backflow of the Wolfburg River, so after filling the river channel, it looks very calm, not at all lively like the rolling water of the Wolfburg River.

But with the three Egbolds from [Hidden Hand] and the four Wesleys who were willing to help, they built an elemental channel at the source of the Linshui River deep into the ruins of the Mystery.

A large vortex close to the width of the river appeared at the source of the Linshui River. Fortunately, that section of the river was transformed into stone by a few arcanists. Otherwise, a large amount of sand would be rolled up, causing the two banks to collapse.

But now, even though the vortex was spinning fast, it didn't affect both sides of the strait at all. Xia Duo watched all this with envy in his heart.

The spell of [Turn Mud into Stone] is also available in the Tower of Time, but this spell requires at least level 5 spellcasting ability, which is beyond what he can do now!
As for asking these arcanists to make bricks for him, it is impossible to even think about it.If it were Xia Duo himself, if he also had the ability to [turn mud into stone], he would not be willing to do such a thing.

Of course, his thoughts may be different from those of these arcanists. These arcanists may be based on the pride of the casters, but Xia Duo does not have the so-called pride of the casters. He just simply thinks that he cannot walk away. He has more important things to do.

And not as a brick-making machine made of human flesh.

Maybe there will be a dedicated construction mage in the future!
Thinking of this, Xia Duo felt that every type of work on earth could have a mage version. On that day, mage might no longer be a separate profession, but would become an academic title similar to college students and high school students.

Maybe that's when magical civilization really reaches the level of "civilization".

……

"boom--"

A loud noise interrupted Xia Duo's reverie, and the whirlpool at the source of the Linshui River suddenly turned into a spring that surpassed two people's arms, and the billowing spring water continued to rise, which was half the height of a person!

"The ratio of water elements is much higher than expected, Egbold, use the backup plan!" Master Olins noticed the abnormality and ordered without hesitation.

And Egbold also understands that the situation is urgent. Although there is only such a small spring now, but at this moment, the pressure outlet of the entire Myzal ruins, I don't know what will happen later!

The best result is that the pressure drops suddenly, the magic net instantly falls into dead silence, and all the previous work is in vain. The worst result is that the magic net riots intensify and cover a wider area.

The others, Egbold, are not sure, but the three people here in [The Hidden Hand] cannot escape the consequences of the retreat of divine favor 100%, not to mention that the work here is in vain, even the previous decades of hard work will be dissipated up.
