Lord of Arcane

Chapter 683 Food Waste Review
In addition, Xia Duo also thought that he originally planned to let his (hired) fleet transport the elves to the north.

If Severton's fleet came to transport the elves, and those new fleets helped him transport the leaders, the money on both sides would be earned by the Severton Chamber of Commerce!

What else does he earn?
Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help shaking his head, but depending on the situation, it is imperative for those businessmen to come to the south. Even if he doesn't want them to help him transport the people, they still have to come and take the elves away.

"What is this called!"

Xia Duo knew that it was time to make a choice, but in fact, he didn't have many choices to choose from. It was nothing more than—whether or not those fleets would help him transport the leaders.

As for not letting those fleets come over, this is not an option for Xia Duo.

Thinking of this, he immediately gave up going to the villa area to meet Orepus, but turned a small corner to the town hall, where he saw the mayor of Thain who was reading the paperwork.

Since there was Belleira waiting to reply, Xia Duo did not make any greetings, and directly explained the purpose of coming, "Mayor Sain, can you estimate that after Savile receives the autumn harvest this year, the normal consumption of the leaders and the amount sent to Kang will be deducted?" How much money do you have in Nefera City?"

The output of the Tower of Time Arcane Garden is relatively stable, but the output outside is not so stable. Although there is a surplus every year, the amount is uncertain.

If there are enough, maybe an extra ship of leaders can be brought in.

"Lord Xiaduo, are you planning to recruit new citizens from Severton again?"

"Yes."

Xia Duo couldn't help being a little annoyed when he saw Thain's hesitant to speak, "Just say what you have to say, are you still worried that I will blame you for your few words?"

With Xia Duo saying this, Thain no longer hesitated, "My lord, I suggest that you stop recruiting new citizens!"

"why?"

Xia Duo asked subconsciously, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he reacted and asked Thain, "Is it because of the bad harvest this year, or because of the elves?"

At present, the food that maintains the continuous development of the Great Xia people is all supplied by the Savile land. If there is no legitimate reason, it is impossible for Thain to let Xia Duo give up recruiting new people.

Since we talked about the autumn harvest before, it is most likely the reason for the food—the lack of food!
At present, the reason for the shortage of food can only be the poor harvest and the consumption of elves.

In fact, Xia Duo already had the answer in his heart. When the dragon disaster first appeared, he asked Thain to organize the young men of the Savile collar to train. destroyed.

As for the role of the reserve force, it is secondary.

As for this year's grain growth status, Xia Duo also has some understanding. Although he is not sure how much he can harvest in the end, it is absolutely impossible to fail the harvest.

Thain's answer also confirmed Xia Duo's thoughts, "It's the elves. The food sent to them was wasted a lot, and they even raised animals in the supply camp to the east. The elves need to eat, the animals need to eat, and the food needs to be eaten." If you waste another pile, no amount of food will be enough.”

"Any more?"

"Also, Conifera City is also urging us to deliver food. There are no fewer elves on their side than ours, but it's not time to deliver food yet!"

"..."

Xia Duo was silent. The impact of the drow invasion is really piles and piles. Let’s not talk about the dragon disaster.

But elf refugees are different. To some extent, Xia Duo would rather play with a few more dragons than accept those elves who can be compared to the incarnation of trouble.

As long as Cormanthor doesn't fall, who can really do anything to them?

This feeling is really suffocating!

Just as he wanted Mayor Thain to contact Orepus for help, Xia Duo stopped immediately. Although it was unlikely, he still had to prevent Orepus from "respecting himself".

If these elves are unwilling to leave after the drow has retreated, it would be too bad!
Thinking about it this way, maybe Comanthor deliberately let these elves enter the territory of Nether!

"We still have to be self-reliant!"

Originally, Xia Duo came here to ask Mayor Sion to solve the problem for him, but unexpectedly, he solved the problem for the mayor of Sion. However, the problem of the Savile leader is his problem, and Xia Duo doesn't care about those problems. up.

Leaving a sentence "I will find a way", Xia Duo left the town hall.

But in fact, he doesn't have any good solution now. Those elves are like meat hobs. As soon as he walked out of the town hall, Xia Duo contacted Belleira and told him that his territory could not accept too many new citizens for the time being.

Xia Duo also expressed his gratitude to her for her kindness in helping to tie the knot, and declined.

……

Plan is not as fast as change!
Back at the Tower of Time, Xia Duo contacted Niya again, "Do you know how the elves waste food at the supply camp in the east?"

"I don't know, what's the matter? But as long as those elves don't make trouble, it doesn't matter if we send more food, the teacher will subsidize it for us later!"

"..."

This is not a matter of subsidizing or not, Xia Duo wanted to say so, but it seems that it is really not a big deal, except for its impact on the Great Xia.

Thinking of this, he felt inexplicably agitated, "Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything."

Immediately afterwards, Xia Duo changed the subject again, "Niya, do you have the latest news from Comanso? ​​The Northern Alliance or something related to Drow?"

"Not yet, but you don't have to think about the Northland Alliance for the time being. Don't look at it, it seems that all countries have basically unified their opinions, but this kind of formal alliance involves multiple countries and even belongs to different races. We couldn’t talk about it for several years.”

"Well, I'm just asking, if there is any latest news, please let me know!"

"understood!"

……

After interrupting the call with Niya, Xia Duo returned to his residence, made himself a cup of tea, and then sat blankly at the desk, deep in thought.

It seems that after this year's snowmelt competition, there has been some kind of change in this world. Although it is not obvious, it has really affected him. Xia Duo is willing to call this change "the wave of the times".

At the same time, he can also deeply appreciate the power of this change, especially the recent change, which made him feel like being coerced by the world. For the first time, Xia Duo wanted to let go of all thoughts and stay quietly for a while .

Reorient yourself so you don't lose yourself.

Spellcasters, mages, arcanists, magic research, territory development, world situation, and even individual armaments, concepts and events inevitably broke into Xia Duo's mind.

But he did not refuse, but let these thoughts fly, examining all this from a detached perspective.

I don't know when it was, as if a bolt of lightning pierced through the fog, Xia Duo suddenly woke up. Although he didn't realize that he was different from before, his mood was unexpectedly relaxed, as if he had found the direction of the future again.
