Lord of Arcane

Chapter 902 Great Symbol of Cultural Expansion
After Atwood came Jabas, but today Xia Duo didn't have much time to listen to Jabas talk about his adventures.

Besides, the remains of the scale-armored creature statue found on the territory had been filled in by Xia Duo after he mastered the spell of [Incarnation of Earth and Stone].

In the past few days, can any new ruins be discovered?With this thought in mind, Xia Duo did not stop Jabas from speaking.

It's just that Jabas didn't give him any surprises or frights. In the past few days, no new relics have been discovered. When Jabas started telling stories again, Xia Duo interrupted him in time.

"Jabbas, if you're interested, I can find someone to write a biography for you, specifically recording your adventures. It's better to be concise in the meeting now!"

"Writing a biography?"

Jabas's voice immediately rose several octaves, and his body shook suddenly, obviously frightened by Xia Duo's words.

In his impression, only those well-known and legendary spellcasters have their own biographies. He is just an ordinary adventurer, so what right does he have to have his own biography!
"Yes, write a biography, write a biography about yourself!"

Xia Duo repeated what he said just now. In fact, he didn't do it temporarily, but planned it long ago.

With the use of papermaking technology by him, there will definitely be a lot of paper. By then, let alone adventurer biographies, it is possible to write a cookbook specifically.

In fact, Xia Duo is also planning to do this, which is to spread the delicacies of Da Xia Ling and increase the influence of Da Xia Ling.

As for the biography of Jabas, it is only to enrich the collection of the Tower of Time library, and at the same time, it can also allow the Tower of Time mages to gain different experiences other than mage biographies.

Of course, Jabas himself is also very good. After all, adventurers who can live for such a long time are rare. It is not a legend to say that he is a legend, but at least he can be called "rare".

And in the future, these adventure novels reviewed by Xia Duo himself, or other forms of literary and artistic works, can even become a brochure for exporting Daxia culture to the outside world.

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

Some things can be prepared in advance now.

……

When Xia Duo reconfirmed the biography, Jabaston was so excited that his body trembled a little, and he became at a loss. He didn't even dare to look at the other people in the conference room, as if he was afraid that he would provoke ridicule.

Seeing this, Xia Duo motioned him to sit down first, and then said to everyone, "Not only Jabas has a share in the matter of biography, but each of you also has a share. As long as you work hard, I guarantee that there will be a biography!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the conference room, but in front of him, everyone did not act rude, but the excitement on their faces could not be concealed.

Xia Duo could see that biography was still very attractive to everyone, but it was a pity that Netheril did not have cheap paper in the past, and ordinary people could not even see a few books, let alone talk about biography.

However, this situation will be greatly improved after the popularization of papermaking. Of course, the premise of all this is that there is sufficient food, and only when you are full can you have the strength to think about other things.

In fact, it is not difficult to solve the problem of sufficient food. If it is really the ancient times on the earth, it will be more difficult. In the magic world, magic can easily break the rules.

The easiest way is to move the Arcane Garden out of the Mage Tower and share it with more ordinary people, then the increase in food production can be easily achieved.

Of course, the construction of the Arcane Garden requires a lot of investment. If it is only to meet the needs of a few mages, it can still maintain a balance of payments. If the restrictions are relaxed and the production is unlimited, then no one can afford that kind of expenditure.

But what Xia Duo wants to do is not to build an arcane garden for everyone, but to popularize the advanced productivity brought by magic, or knowledge, to ordinary people.

These advanced productive forces may be arcane gardens, means of breeding and raising seedlings, spells of breeding and birth, or some kind of efficient harvesting tools.

In short, only when the most ordinary people are included in the circulation system of the entire magic civilization can it be considered a real magic civilization.

Cooperating with countless wisdom to make progress together is far better than a few mages enclosing themselves.

Of course, the definition of ordinary people at that time may not necessarily be the "non-mage group" defined now, but it is certain that ordinary people are definitely not the most powerful group of people.

Representing the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people is not necessarily a symbol of a powerful country, but it must be a symbol of a great civilization.

Whether it is from the perspective of ideals or utilitarianism, Xia Duo will not abandon ordinary people. This is also his most important awareness of the future.

……

After the biographical episode, it was time to report on the military aspect of the territory.

At present, the Territorial Guard has not become independent, and Leiden can also command it, so Xia Duo has not appointed a separate military commander.

In other words, the current Territory Guard system is managed by four people, and each person only has a different degree of qualification, and the actual authority is completely consistent.

During the report, the captains of the four territorial guards, Gibb, Jockey, Simon, and Meri, also reported on their work.

Including daily patrols, vigilance, guards, going out to investigate, drawing maps, cleaning up wild animals, etc.

As for Aiwa, since he is a follower of Xiaduo and has a close relationship with Aiwa, he does not hold a specific position in the guard system.

He was only responsible for training scouts on the training ground and training ordinary soldiers to use magic items. For Aiwa after his revenge, these days were almost called vacations.

And under Ji Bu's persuasion and introduction, Aiwa has already married a wife in Daxia, and now all he needs to do is to have a son, even if he is completely rooted and has a home.

Xia Duo is also very concerned about Aiwa's marriage.

To put it darkly, it is easy to control with family members. Of course, Xia Duo is not dark. He hopes that his taciturn follower can have a relatively happy life.

……

Aiwa's report can be said to be the most succinct among the participants. It only said that 25 new people have learned how to use magic scrolls, and it is over.

Xia Duo had known Aiwa's character for a long time, so he was not surprised. As for the fact that 25 new people learned to use magic scrolls, he didn't take it too seriously.

There are already 30 people who have learned it before, and now there will be no qualitative change if there are 25 more people, and it is not worthwhile to wait until those of the right age who were sent to the Tower of Time to learn magic return to the territory. I made a special mention of it at the meeting.

In the future, soldiers in the territory must use people who have been enlightened by magic. All mages (apprentices) are standard equipment, let alone use magic scrolls.

In addition, after seeing the effect of the resonance spell book, Xia Duo is also very skeptical about how much role ordinary soldiers can play in the face of real magic warfare.

Even the [Spellbreaker Squad] that Xia Duo has always been thinking about, its prototype is a group of special mages, not ordinary soldiers simply armed with magic items.

Of course, it is not feasible or realistic to want to perfect soldiers at this stage. It is still necessary to strengthen the armed forces of ordinary soldiers.

And this is exactly what Xia Duo is going to say next.
