Lord of Arcane

Chapter 951 Improving the System Elf Provocation
After lunch, Xia Duo sent Niya back to the Tower of Time, while he himself disappeared and wandered around the territory.

As the time approached the end of the year, the temperature in the southern border became lower and lower, and the citizens were obviously not as energetic as they were in spring and summer.

However, compared to the Saville people who have been content with the winter at this time, the Great Xia people are still much more industrious. Not to mention the development department that includes most of the people, it is still flat on the frozen land, waiting for the next year of sowing.

People in the logistics department don't need to go out, but they can't do without them for a moment in the work of the territory, such as burning bricks, making clothes, building wooden houses, preparing food, and even asking children to find them if they can't find them.

However, the population of the territory is nearly ten thousand now, and it is no longer easy to manage it like when there were only dozens or hundreds of people in the past. Although Xia Duo has many insights on the earth, it is difficult for the management personnel of the territory to understand them all at once.

It was rare for him to get up today to observe the people's sentiments in the territory. He saw more than one strong man with healthy hands and feet doing nothing in the territory, and even molested the female staff of the logistics department.

Of course, he didn't need to come forward in person for this kind of thing. After returning to the lord's villa, Xia Duo directly called Leiden over.

"My lord, the code has not been completed yet, do you want to check it now?"

"It's not a matter of the code to ask you to come. Let me ask you, have you completed the registration of the citizens?"

"grown ups?"

Layton didn't understand why the lord mentioned this. Isn't this done long ago?And the copy of the register of the people is on the bookshelf in the adult's study.

"Then why are there idlers in the territory?" Xia Duo asked.

At present, the Great Xia Territory is still a pioneering collar, and all the citizens are under unified management. In theory, there will not be even a single idler who is not in the establishment.

Of course, Xia Duo does not intend to continue to use this enterprise-style management method. After the land is awarded, only public servants will be counted in the establishment, mainly relying on laws and regulations (macro-control) to manage the territory, rather than directly commanding every individual.

But now, the territory development has not yet been completed, and it is still necessary to concentrate the most power to use every available citizen without wasting any human resources.

Hearing Xia Duo's question, Leiden immediately knelt down on one knee and said cautiously: "My lord, I need to know more before I can answer."

"Yes, I authorize you to select a monitoring team to deal with this matter, and the monitoring team will continue to maintain it afterwards!"

"Yes!" Layton lowered his head deeply, probably guessing the Lord Lord's intention.

……

After Leiden left, Xia Duo sat quietly in the study for a while, thinking silently.

The construction of the territory is not something that can be accomplished overnight. He has long wanted to bring up the issue of supervision, and this time it was just an excuse to find idlers outside the establishment.

If you want to be a hands-off shopkeeper, you must try your best to improve the management system of the territory, especially in the future. There will be more and more spellcasters in the territory. As the saying goes, "with a sharp knife in your body, you will kill yourself." If he is not around for a long time, it may not be that no one will be tempted.

A mature and complete system can avoid most of the troubles of the wall.

However, in the magic world, there is such a large gap in individual strength, and the experience on earth may not be perfectly transplanted. What the future will look like requires Xia Duo to slowly adjust according to the actual situation.

But in any case, he generally believed in the power of order, laws, and people's hearts. Although these forces are invisible and intangible, they can really affect everyone.

And in the magical world, these powers may not be invisible or intangible!
Ryan has always said [power is born from order], and uses it as a criterion for acting. Xia Duo still can't see the so-called [power of order], but he can't completely deny its existence.

Perhaps the glorious holy power is a kind of power of order.

Xia Duo thought about it, then took out a pen and paper, wrote a few words on the paper, and sent it to Leiden.

……

Soon, the time came to January in the year 837 of the Nether calendar, and the New Year celebrations took place on the tenth day of January.

After spending the last few days of leisurely life in the Tower of Time, Xia Duo and Niya embarked on the teleportation circle to Severton together to meet the unknown fate.

Gilles Tower.

As soon as Xia Duo and Niya walked out of the teleportation room, they heard bursts of noise from the corridor outside, which was especially harsh in the normally quiet Mage Tower.

Xia Duo subconsciously slowed down and gave Niya a hand, "Wait, listen to what they are saying first!"

Niya's status is extraordinary, if she shows up, those people may not continue to discuss it, and even Xia Duo himself, from the changes in his own clouds observed during this period, can probably guess the changes on Severton's side.

However, even if the teleportation circle is used to receive it, there is still a lot of movement. Seeing that no one has come out of the teleportation room, everyone outside quickly realized something, left a few words in a hurry, and talked about it later, one by one. All left.

Fortunately, what they discussed was not some unspeakable secret, otherwise it would not be communicating outside the teleportation room.

As for Xia Duo, who was engrossed in listening, suddenly there was no more text. This feeling was really uncomfortable. Looking at Niya's expression that hesitated to speak, Xia Duo said helplessly:

"Don't worry, I won't go to any exchange meetings, but the higher-ups may not think so, and I may have to go at that time."

What those people outside the teleportation room were discussing was exactly what Mage Cormanthor provoked. Of course, this was a private statement, and it was held in the form of an exchange meeting on the surface.

According to those people, several high-level mages in the Seven Towers could not stand the provocation of the elves in the past few days, and rashly agreed to a magic duel at the exchange meeting.

The magic duel at this kind of exchange meeting naturally has more elements of performance and demonstration, but people will stumble, horses will stumble, and elf mages will also "get out of control" with spells.

Although it may not be possible to lose one's life, it is inevitable to be ashamed and lose the face of the Seven Towers.

Xia Duo is well aware of this, but he also knows that sometimes face may be more important than life, especially in the eyes of superiors.

Although those people just talked about the situation on the side of the Seven Towers and didn't talk about the situation on the side of the elves, but from their tone, Xia Duo could also tell that something was wrong.

What's even worse is himself. He is a typical example of the seven towers being erected. If the higher-ups asked him to come forward, he would never refuse.

Perhaps there is such an idea above?

But then Xia Duo denied this idea. An arcanist is not an existence that can be discarded at will, not to mention that he has such great potential that he can almost be cultivated as the seed of a great arcanist.

It's useless to think too much now, maybe I can try it out when I see Master Greta later.
