Lord of Arcane

Chapter 911 The Messenger Evaluation Goes Through the Stage
Greta and the others had already left, and Xia Duo and Niya didn't stay at the foot of the Tower of Time for long. The two walked through the ruins of the Mystery together and came to the edge of a seedling field.

At this point in time, the autumn sowing has already been completed, and even the wheat seedlings have been slightly exposed, of course, only exposed, like green pixels scattered on the gray-black ground, struggling desperately for the brilliance of life.

Seeing this scene, Niya seemed to be very happy. She looked here, then quietly told Xia Duo excitedly, "When I observed this place in the study the day before yesterday, there was no such green color!"

"That's right! That's a coincidence!"

In fact, Xia Duo didn't pay much attention to the situation in the field these two days. With Atwood here, he really saved a lot of worry. After walking around the field for a while, Xia Duo suggested:
"Come on, let's go to the villa and wait for the archmage and the others while drinking tea!"

"Ah."

……

Due to the need to entertain guests, Xia Duo did not take out the few remaining "Bonu original leaves", but only the "Bonu No. [-]" tea granule that can be bought normally in Netheril.

The two waited for a while, Greta did not finish the inspection, but the other six people who came to the southern border with Greta quickly finished, and they were led by the staff of the logistics department to the reception room of the lord's villa.

"Lord Xiaduo, Lord Saville, we have finished our investigation!"

"Then please sit down and have a cup of tea, Master Greta may still need a little time!"

As Xia Duo said so, some staff from the logistics department who accompanied him brought steaming elf hot drinks to several people, and Xia Duo took the opportunity to ask:
"What do you guys think of my Great Xia leader? Can you pass this inspection?"

"Lord Xiaduo!"

The old mage who answered was the one who had spoken before. After standing up and thanking Xia Duo for his hospitality, he returned to the topic:
"Based on my experience in the past few decades, the Great Xia Territory is the most dynamic territory I have ever seen. As for whether it can pass the assessment, I don't think it is a big problem. The Great Xia Territory has already developed so much land, so it should be already Meet the requirements of self-sufficiency!"

Hearing this, Xia Duo couldn't help frowning slightly. This person seemed to have no understanding of grain output, and he didn't even count the number of people in charge, so he dared to make such a decision.

But then, Xia Duo's brows widened again. These people are not experts on territorial issues, and it may be more beneficial to him.

So he asked again: "Is it not up to you to decide whether to pass the inspection?"

"Lord Xia Duo was joking, how could such a matter be decided by us!"

The old mage smiled wryly when he heard the words, "We just came here to make a record. When we return to Severton, the adults in the council will make the decision! But Ms. Greta's special status may affect the final result! "

After saying wow, the old mage stopped talking. In fact, he only dared to say this last sentence because he saw that the relationship between Lord Xiaduo and Archmage Greta was good. On another occasion, how could he dare to discuss such a person in private? Archmage.

After listening to the answer of the Seven Towers mage, Xia Duo and Niya looked at each other, and they both thought at the same time that this so-called investigation might be just a formality.

This once again made Xia Duo think of the equal-numbered election in his hometown, first select a few so-called potential pioneers, and then examine whether they have the qualifications to become regulars, or more precisely, their potential.

Isn't this a proper equal-number election!
As long as you don't mess up the territory too badly, basically you won't fail.

For such a result, Niya's eyes showed a trace of relief, while Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little confused about the future.

In this way, he is completely tied to the Seven Towers ship. Although he was also in the Seven Towers camp before, he was relatively independent after all. Now it is different, and the connection is closer.

Although from a rational point of view, this state does not do much harm to Xia Duo, on the contrary, it has more benefits, and even the blueprint for the future alliance has been planned in advance.

But this state also made him feel an involuntary sense of depression, maybe this is the so-called "hypocrisy"!

……

In the reception room, Xia Duo didn't sit idle for long, and Greta came here soon under the leadership of the staff of the logistics department.

Just from Greta's calm face, Xia Duo couldn't see any more information. Although he was not worried that he would not be able to pass the inspection and quickly become a regular, he still cared very much about the views of his territory.

Taking advantage of the gap between the two getting up to greet each other and Greta taking her seat, Xia Duo quickly gave Niya a look. The two have known each other for a long time, not to mention that they share the same mind, at least they cooperate tacitly.

Niya understood immediately, took the teacup from the staff of the logistics department, delivered it to Greta herself, and then asked what Xia Duo had asked other expedition envoys before:
"What do you think of Xia Duo's territory, ma'am?"

"I've never seen a territory like the Daxia Territory! How should I put it?" Greta glanced at the teacup on the table and said a very special evaluation——

"So busy! But this kind of busyness reveals a different sense of order. Almost everyone has their own specific work, without any confusion!"

Almost a year ago, Greta came to the Daxia Territory with the princess, but the population of the Daxia Territory at that time was only a few hundred, and the territory was very simple. The only impression she had at that time might be the neat wooden house up.

As for the "Great Xia Territory Development Manual", that is all later.

Now, there are tens of thousands of people in the Great Xia Territory, and she is alone, so she doesn't need to accompany Her Royal Highness, she can observe at will, so she immediately discovered the most obvious difference between this place and other places.

"The people in the Great Xia Territory are the most energetic people I have ever seen!"

Speaking of this, Greta cast an inquiring gaze on Xia Duo, "I'm curious, how did you do it, even in other pioneering territories, I have never seen such a vibrant territory like this one." civil!"

After listening to Greta's words, Xia Duo was thoughtful, and said lightly, "It's probably because I really regard them as my people!"

"Ah--"

Greta shook her head suddenly, and laughed at herself, "So, I should have thought of this earlier, we really don't pay enough attention to ordinary people!"

Then she looked at Xia Duo again, and said seriously: "Lord Xia Duo, if Her Royal Highness hears what you just said, she will be very happy!"

In this regard, Xia Duo didn't say anything, but took a sip from the teacup, without revealing anything on his face, but he was quite shocked in his heart.

This was almost the first time he had heard more clearly the attitude of the higher authorities towards ordinary people, at least the attitude of the princess.
