Lord of Arcane

Chapter 474
Netheril's existing magic system is derived from [Netheril Scrolls]. For this set of mysterious scrolls that record countless knowledge, Xia Duo has been coveting for a long time.

As early as Xia Duo confirmed that he came to Netheril, he always wanted to see the legendary [Nether Scroll]. In that game on Earth, the description of the [Nether Scroll] was also very mysterious.

Some said it came from the ancient founding race, some said it came from the ancient elf kingdom, and some even said that the goddess of magic participated in the making of the scrolls.

But anyway, it's okay to say that Netheril is based on this set of mystical scrolls.

In the past, [Neither Scroll] was allowed to be viewed by anyone until one of the sets was stolen. Then it was changed to the current recommended reading system. It must be recommended by multiple archmages, or at least one archmage, and the recommended At least a high-level mage is required.

Or, at least one can obtain reading permission by becoming an archmage, but there is only one chance per year.

One of the visible benefits brought by the title of "Pioneer" is the annual reading permission of [Naise Scroll].

Last year Xia Duo gave Nya the right to read, and this year he plans to use it himself. When Niya came back a few days ago, Xia Duo talked with her about the [Naishi Scroll].

Niya told him that it is best to only read the first group, or even just one piece is enough. [Naishi scroll] not only records knowledge, but the scroll itself also has very special power, so you have to do what you can.

Of course, Xia Duo is kind, but before heading to Severton, there is still a little matter to be resolved.

……

Savile Town, Port.

Xia Duo and the presidents of the three chambers of commerce, including Hans, Slavin, and Shining Gold, stood on the embankment near the trestle bridge, watching the dock porters constantly loading grain onto the ship.

At the request of Xia Duo, the three chambers of commerce are going to send boats to Severton to collect and transport the people of Great Xia. This time, Xia Duo will go to Severton not only to see the [Neither Scroll], but also to the Severton Council to apply New citizens, this is the real reward represented by the [Silver Ring Badge].

Among the dozens of pioneers, only three pioneers including Xia Duo received this reward, which is almost unlimited population support, as long as the territory can support it.

Although after years of development, there is almost no inland invaded by orcs, and the population is somewhat overpopulated, but there should be very few lords who think that they have too many people.

It can be seen that the princess still paid a lot of price in this, at least reached a compromise with most of the mainland lords.

Since this is the case, Xia Duo must make good use of it, otherwise he will let down the hard work of Her Highness the Princess!

Xia Duo suddenly looked away from several cargo ships, and asked the three presidents beside him, "How long is it expected to arrive at Sevington?"

"Two months—right!"

"Huh?" Xia Duo immediately stared at Chairman Hans who just replied, "How long will it take?"

Xia Duo was not completely ignorant of the voyage from Savile Town to Severton. He asked Captain Owen carefully. The convenience of flow, but also less trouble of reverse flow.

You must know that there are many sections of rivers to go from Savile Town to Severnton. At first, the Wolfburg River flows upstream, and then enters a large lake smoothly for a short time. north until it empties into the northernmost narrow sea.

And Sevington was on the Narrow Sea.

Most of the way to go is against the current, but the water flow is gentle in winter, which can save a lot of time. Old Owen told him that it would take about a month to go to Severnton in winter.

It might be even faster when you get back.

"My lord, I promise to arrive at Sevington in one and a half months. If everything goes well, I will be able to return to the Great Xia Territory within three months." It was President Massa of the Slavin Chamber of Commerce who spoke.

It is understandable for Xia Duo to seek insurance, but the superiors only focus on the fastest and most efficient.

Xia Duo is naturally dissatisfied that what can be done in two months has to be delayed to three months. Xia Duo is naturally dissatisfied. The voyage is reduced to less than two months, and I will pay [-]% more gold coins for every day that is reduced, and use magic items to offset the price, but similarly, every time more than one day, I will pay [-]% less.”

The staff of the Severton Council said it would take a month, but Xia Duo couldn't be sure how long it would be. It might be shorter or longer. This shouldn't be counted in the voyage.

This is actually a contract for gambling. Although Xia Duo may have to pay a few more gold coins, considering that it is paid with magic items, it is not a loss.

The research on Tilak has entered a new stage, and the days when the price of magic items will plunge is not far away. Even if Tilak is not available, Xia Duo has a new technology for making magic scrolls by himself.

[Transcription] obtained from the projection plane can mass-produce semi-finished scrolls, and the time cost will be greatly reduced, and this is something that the three presidents do not know.

Sure enough, after hearing about Xia Duo's gambling contract, President Fleck of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce immediately agreed with his chest, and the eyes of the other two presidents were also shining with surprise.

"It doesn't matter if you can advance a few days, but remember, stable arrival is the premise, otherwise, you will have to try my method!"

"Don't dare! Don't dare! We understand!"

Seeing the three people's cautious appearance, Xia Duo suddenly lost interest, and explained a few more words, handed over the handover document with the lord's seal to the three, and then directly sent away.

……

Back in Linshui Village, when I saw Priest Layton again, Xia Duo felt very kind, and chatted about the situation of his territory after he left. Of course, it was mainly Layton who said, and Xia Duo listened.

The Langas of the Kadun tribe are trying to integrate into the Daxia leader. Their shaman just died not long ago. It is a time when they lack faith and backbone.

After some conversation, Xia Duo's sense of familiarity with the territory came back again. After all, it was a territory he opened up bit by bit, and it would not be forgotten in a year or so.

It is mid-February now, and if all goes well, the first batch of people from the mainland will arrive in Linshui Village in two months, and Linshui Village must make preparations in advance.

By then, the weather will gradually warm up, and perhaps the second phase of construction of Linshui Village can be started ahead of schedule.

The second phase of Linshui Village was planned by Xia Duo a long time ago. Originally, it was to wait for the population to grow to a certain level before implementing it. Unexpectedly, the [Silver Ring Badge] also had a population attached, which immediately made Linshui Village take great strides to develop. way out.

"I have to go out for a while, and I will be back in about three days. You can ask someone to prepare some soft wood and cut it into pieces. I will use it when I come back."

Xia Duo is ready to make paper. Parchment paper can be used to make scrolls. It is a waste to use it for general writing, and you can make as much paper as you want. There will be no shortage of paper when you want to copy books on the projection plane. up.

He can completely fill the entire anytime space, although it is impossible to copy the entire library with so many.

Although Layton was curious about the use of Xia Duo's need for the wood chips, the lord didn't say anything, and he wouldn't ask. What Xia Duo was most satisfied with was Layton's disposition of obeying orders.

After clarifying some details, Xia Duo returned to the Tower of Time, and with the help of the teleportation circle here, he was able to reach Severton quickly.
