Lord of Arcane

Chapter 583 The Scholar's Touch Transforms Gems
Xia Duo roughly flipped through the documents of the civic people, but he didn't read all of them. He only focused on some materials that Layton had marked. After that, he picked up another document on the desk.

This is also a piece of information that Xia Duo is more concerned about - the information about the customs and strange legends of the various territories of Netheril, dictated by the previous group of citizens and compiled and recorded by Leiden.

Although the commoner's perspective is not comprehensive, he prefers this simple, almost unadorned description to the tower of time's recorded descriptions that are overlooked by spellcasters and are occasionally biased.

Of course, no matter which one it is, it can provide Xia Duo with different perspectives to understand Netheril. The combination of the two will allow him to see it more comprehensively.

It's just that the data collected by the Tower of Time is still a bit small, and there are almost no materials that specifically introduce the territory. After all, most of these territory materials come from mage biographies, travel notes, etc., and most of them are side descriptions, and sometimes there are only a few words.

Now that he has the collated materials after the dictation of these leaders, Xia Duo can't wait to stuff this thick stack of documents into his mind at once.

Thinking of stuffing the words into his mind, Xia Duo suddenly remembered that when the princess came to inspect, he gave the princess the "Big Xia Collar Standard Development Manual". The princess took the manual, as if using some spell, and immediately Know the contents of the manual.

At that time, when the princess was in front of him, he was a little nervous, and he never thought about it afterwards. Now that he thinks about it, maybe he really has the technology (spell) to stuff books and words into his mind.

In this regard, you can also find an opportunity to talk to Niya, and see if she can find relevant information in Gilles Tower.

If he could learn this spell, then he would no longer need to be a human flesh copier when he went to the projected plane, it wouldn't be so cool to be a human flesh scanner directly!
But right now Xia Duo is not a human flesh scanner, so he can only scan slowly word by word.

After a while, the last rays of the setting sun slowly disappeared from the window, and the sky gradually darkened. Xia Duo put away the materials he hadn't finished reading, ate something, and went out again.

……

Hiding his body, Xia Duo flew to the sky and looked at the ground, and from time to time, he heard loud shouts such as "The 26th working group can go back to eat!" and so on.

At the same time, in the direction of the cafeteria, teams of leaders came and went in an orderly manner. Xia Duo probably knew that the number of people in the territory was increasing, and the original cafeteria was now very outdated.

The leaders are now working in batches, returning, receiving food, and going home. After watching for a while, Xia Duo flew to the outside again. Several teams of soldiers who were training outside are retracting the defense line for night vigilance.

Afterwards, Xia Duo flew around the miniature lake on the other side of the element channel. There is no change from the last time he came here. Of course, if there is a change, then he will doubt the engineering quality of [Hidden Hand] !
Reaching out his hand to fish out the eye of the element fountain, the small stones that were put in before had become somewhat transparent at this time, Xia Duo couldn't help but exclaimed, "Huh——"

He quickly summoned a ball of light to illuminate the small rock in his hand. Although dark vision could allow him to see things in the dark, it only changed black, white and gray, and lost many elements.

Under normal light, this small stone is not only a little transparent, but also a little bluish, it is really transforming into a gem!
This fountain of elements, including the miniature lake, was built by the Arcanists led by the Aksos priest of [Hidden Hand].

At that time, the other party promised that this would be a permanent landscape, and even if the chaotic area of ​​the magic net within the range of the Myzhao ruins was completely restored, this place would not disappear.

Moreover, in the spring eye of the elemental fountain, a gem with a water element tendency can be transformed every once in a while. Even after the chaotic area of ​​the magic net is completely restored, the output is only a little lower.

Xia Duo is not optimistic about this. After all, even if the five-color gemstones are converted through the element pool of the Mage Tower, the time span will be very long. As far as he knows, many Mage Towers, including the Tower of Time and Giles Tower, have Elemental pools are not modified so that they can transform gems.

Only some low-end mage towers have heard that gems will be produced. Normal mage towers have too many ways to obtain gems, so it is not worth affecting the element pool.

The most critical issue is the output. If the output is extremely high, it is not a bad idea to build a mage tower specially for producing gems, but Xia Duo has never heard of such a mage tower.

Now this Elemental Fountain has been built for almost a year, and it has not completely transformed a small stone into a gem. With this efficiency, if you really expect this to pay back, you don’t know how long you will have to wait!

Xia Duo felt sorry for the 10 gold coins he paid for this elemental fountain. Although the construction fee has not been paid yet, the one-year delivery deadline is approaching. As long as he thinks that the 10 gold coins equivalent materials will leave him And to go, he was extremely reluctant.

"My hundred thousand gold coins!"

Of course, the purpose of building this permanent landscape is mainly to prevent the element passage here from being converted into a dead zone of the magic net after the chaotic area of ​​the magic net is repaired.

The reason why the element channel is built is to alleviate the magic net riots in the Mysuo ruins and facilitate the repairs by those foreign arcanists. At the same time, it also reduces the pressure on the Tower of Time from the outside world and indirectly increases its energy reserve speed.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Duo suddenly felt that he didn't need to pay the money at all.

Although the Mystery Ruins, Elemental Passage, Elemental Fountain and Lake Landscape are all in his territory, and all kinds of decisions are made by him, all these are not for the Tower of Time!
But after thinking about it, isn't the Tower of Time also his, even though it is shared with Niya, it still hurts to think about it.

"Ugh--"

Casually returning the incompletely transformed gemstone to the eye of the fountain of elements, Xia Duo decided to stay away from this sad place.

……

When Xia Duo returned to Linshui Village, the sky had completely darkened. If it was in other territories, ordinary citizens could start creating humans by now, but in Daxia Territory, there is another very important activity——

night school!

The literacy rate of the Naithers is not very low. Many men have experience as apprentices in the Mage Tower, at least that is the case for those who were born in the Savile Land, but they failed to become formal apprentices. After the expiration, he left to find his own way out.

Although he failed to learn spells, as long as he has stayed in the Mage Tower, literacy is basically no problem. In Leiden's statistic data, the number of vassals who have apprenticeship experience in the Outdated Tower is clearly marked.

There are almost 50 of them!
Compared with the more than 1000 people in the current territory, this number seems a bit low, but you must know that only half of the more than 1000 people in the Great Xia Territory are from the Saville Territory.

Almost one-tenth of the literacy rate is already quite high, and this does not include those soldiers, who are generally literate.

However, Xia Duo was not satisfied with this literacy rate, so he asked Leiden to hold a small "two-hour evening class", which was on the altar square in front of the lord's villa.

Layton used the bright holy power of radiance as a teaching tool to teach the illiterate people to read and cultivate their order by preaching the "Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance" and "The Lord's Quotations" written by Xia Duo.
