Lord of Arcane

Chapter 721
As the spell book on Xia Duo's waist stirred slightly, an invisible field of perception quietly appeared in the sky outside the villa, allowing Xia Duo's vision to spread over.

He came back in a hurry last night, and Xia Duo hadn't had time to take a good look at his territory. Of course, poor lighting was also an important factor.

Under dark vision, the originally colorful world under normal light has all become a grayscale world composed of only black and white.

Although Xia Duo has regarded dark vision as an innate ability, in fact, he did not acquire this ability since he was a child, but acquired it suddenly after experiencing the awakening of his blood in this magical world.

Compared with those true natural races with dark vision since childhood, such as dwarves, they are much worse in adapting to the dark.

At least Xia Duo has not been able to correspond a specific grayscale color to a specific color under normal light during the day, but Broto can easily do it.

It can only be adapted for a long time, but Xia Duo has long been used to activities during the day. If they all switch to nighttime, they may be able to quickly adapt to dark vision, but it will bring more discomfort in other aspects.

So now Xia Duo just regards dark vision as an additional benefit, and when he uses it occasionally, he just smiles knowingly and doesn't think of it.

……

Moving the perception to the sky, there is no interference from the wind noise when the main body is flying. Occasionally, some wind noise can be heard, but it dissipates quickly.

And now it is early morning, the light is just right, the sunlight penetrates from the field of perception, and Xia Duo even feels a sense of transparency that cannot be perceived by using the body to meet the sunlight.

It was as if the Lord of Radiance personally sent warmth into his heart. If it was on Earth, he would like this feeling very much, but here——

That round, infinitely radiant luminous body in the sky is a truly great existence, so how could he inadvertently guard against it!
However, for that kind of existence, how much effect can the little thoughts of ordinary things on the ground play!

Trying not to think about those too lofty questions, Xia Duo quickly raised the field of perception and moved slowly towards the east.

Today's Linshui Village can actually be counted as a small town if you count the surrounding areas where the trees have been knocked down.

This is even more obvious when viewed from above.

The southeast corner where the Wolfburg River runs to the south and the Linshui River, which runs from east to west and is artificially developed, is now full of human traces.

On the westernmost corner near the Wolfburg River are buildings such as the altar square, residential area, canteen, warehouse, and cemetery. Close to the construction area, a small piece of golden wheat field waiting to be harvested is particularly eye-catching.

It was the demonstration field that Xia Duo showed the princess in the past, and it was also the breeding base for the farmland of the future territory.

And in the further periphery, on the scorched ground, piles of logs of different lengths were neatly stacked, this area almost occupied a small half of the outer development area.

Seeing this, Xia Duo realized that these woods must be disposed of as soon as possible, otherwise they would only accumulate and become more difficult to deal with in the subsequent development.

In this era, the biggest wood consumption is probably as fuel, but during the development process, the scattered branches outside the main trunk are inexhaustible, so why do we need to break open the logs that are the main trunk to burn them!

Xia Duo kept this question in his heart for the time being, and the field of perception moved to the east again following his line of sight.

Farther to the east, there are few neat stacking areas. Instead, a large amount of scattered wood is spread out and blasted. The autumn sun may no longer be hot, but there is no problem in evaporating the excess water in these woods.

Farther away, the scorched ground has returned to its original appearance, either the dark gray of the humus, the light gray of a few stones, or the dark brown of the soil itself.

At this time, many citizens have come here. Under the arrangement of the leaders of their respective working groups, they brought piles of dry wood from the rear, piled them on the normal land, and then set them on fire.

According to Xia Duo's "Standard Development Manual", after the trees are cleared, the ground needs to be burned to remove hidden dangers such as snakes and insects.

Judging from the large expanse of scorched black land behind, this work has been well implemented.

Going forward is the real frontier——

From the sky, Xia Duo could clearly see a not very straight line, from north to south, turned an arc and then went west, extending to the Wolfburg River.

On this line, the forest trees are brought down by the local people in divisions and groups, and are divided by a special cutting team and transported by a special transport team.

During the short period of Xia Duo's observation, at least twenty big trees were brought down by his leaders, and this process is still going on.

Although such efficiency is far inferior to mechanical tools such as logging machines on the earth, the highly organized group labor scene of thousands of people still shocked Xia Duo quite a bit.

The last time I saw such a collective labor scene, I can't remember when it was.

……

Looking around, Xia Duo is generally quite satisfied, as expected, there are more people and more strength!

If there were only a few dozen people at the beginning, it would be impossible to open up such a large area of ​​land in a few years.

And casualties must also be considered.

When Xia Duo just passed over the cemetery, he found that there were nearly 20 yuan more new tombstones in the cemetery than when he passed last time.

Only with a large number of people can we spare the energy to consider protective measures, but even so, there have been dozens of death cases. If there are few people, protection alone will be very difficult, and there is no room for further development.

At the same time, the large number of people is also confidence. The leaders are no longer afraid of facing the terrifying forest alone, but have countless companions to support them together.

Of course, Xia Duo can see the good side, and he can also see the bad side, but in the face of a relatively perfect organization, it is difficult for a few lazy elements to affect the overall positive atmosphere.

Of course, all of this depends on whether the picture Xia Duo gave them is real and whether it can be realized. If there is no such thing, even if everyone gives a mage supervisor, it may not have the current atmosphere.

Xia Duo's painting is naturally real and achievable, and part of it has already been realized, and some minor citizens have been sent to the Tower of Time.

Waiting for them to return from their studies will not only become a new force in the construction of the territory, but also a true manifestation of the lord's fulfillment of his promise.

This will increase Xia Duo's prestige again, not only the authority brought by the status of a mage, but also the embodiment of the true dominance of the lord.

But thinking of short-term incentives, Xia Duo thought about it, and finally contacted Ta Ling and announced a new order——

Any new apprentice, as long as he completes the enlightenment course and learns to cast spells, he will have a chance to go home and visit his relatives!

Xia Duo's bowl of water is leveled, no matter whether it is a new apprentice from the Great Xia Territory or a new apprentice from the Savile Territory, they will have such an opportunity.

Now he is worried about whether those apprentices will give up the opportunity to visit relatives in order to spend more time studying.
