Lord of Arcane

Chapter 342 Returning to the Great Xia Territory

"Taling, report the energy reserve status of the Tower of Time!"

“代行者夏多，当前能源储备不足，风元素池7%、水元素池10%、土元素池9%、火元素池5%，正能量池3%、负能量池3%。”

After the arrest of Aquiline, the Tower of Time has begun to resume normal operation. Although the energy reserve is still insufficient, it is indeed growing steadily, but the growth rate is a bit slow.

And with the recovery of the past consumption of the Tower of Time, it is foreseeable that this growth rate will slow down.

The biggest consumption of this is to fight against the magic net riots from the outside world. As long as this part is reduced, the growth rate of energy reserves will be greatly increased.

The Savile Territory, the Great Xia Territory, and even all the members of the Tower of Time combined, plus various backgrounds, backers, etc., are not necessarily more deterrent than the Tower of Time itself.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Duo knew what he needed to do most right now, and he immediately left the Tower of Time and came to Savile Town.

At this time, ordinary people in Savile Town were not aware of the predicament that the Tower of Time was facing at this time. For them, perhaps the only discomfort was the departure of the Tower of Time, which made them unable to see the timing rune.

……

town hall.

Xia Duo approached the mayor of Sayen, and proposed to recruit a group of leaders to go to Daxia to dig a river channel. The river will become an element channel, which is related to the riot state of the magic net.

Once connected, it will weaken the magic net riot state of the Mysuo Ruins, and indirectly increase the energy reserve of the Tower of Time.

Niya recruited 50 river workers before. Although the river is not long, only a little more than a mile, but because it is in the forest, trees and stones need to be cleared before the river is dug. There are obviously not enough people. .

Perhaps Niya needed to consider the actual situation of the territory before, but a few days ago, Xia Duo had stopped the development of the Savile Territory. It is only August now, and there is still some time before the autumn harvest and autumn planting.

There was just enough manpower.

"How many people does your lord need?" Thain asked.

Xia Duo had considered this issue when he came, so he said without hesitation: "At least 500 people are needed, the more the better."

Considering the rotation and rest, as well as the possible attrition, Xia Duo can still be said to be less. According to his idea, let's talk about 1000 people first.

Just hearing the number of Xia Duo, Thain frowned deeply. Compared with the nearly [-] people led by Savile, the number of five hundred does not seem to be large.

But it is still not easy to find so many prime-aged men who can dig rivers at once.Especially because of the loss of the orc war before, the Territorial Guard added a group of strong men, and allocated 200 households to Daxia.

Now there are even fewer to draw.

Thain hesitated for a moment, and did not dare to refuse directly, but asked: "My lord, can women?"

"Woman?" Xia Duo thought for a while, but did not completely refuse, "If you are with your husband, then you can; if not, forget it. Besides, you must be able to work!"

"My lord, please don't worry, I will make proper arrangements, and they are all able to work!"

"Very good, hurry up and do it, we will leave in two days!"

"Yes!"

After that, Xia Duo asked about the new source of income in the territory and the opening of roads in the Green Pearl Forest. It was only a few days before he arranged this matter, and Thain already had a preliminary plan.

However, there is no news from Derrick.

Xia Duo first listened to Thain's plan to open a road in the Green Pearl Forest, which was quite satisfactory, Xia Duo encouraged him to continue to improve, and then left.

……

The next day, Warren, the foreign affairs director of the Tower of Time, sent a message that the envoy of Lord Hawke had arrived in Savile Land and wanted to discuss the matter of Aquiline, and Shaduo received him in the Tower of Time.

Hawker wants to take Aquiline away, and he can pay a certain price for this, but Xia Duo has already decided not to let him go, and this fundamental issue has never been discussed.

In the end, Hawk led the envoy to leave angrily. Xia Duo did not make things difficult for the other party. Whether it was a hostage or a bargaining chip, one arcanist, Aquiline, was enough.

Afterwards, Hawker never sent anyone again, and Xia Duo was also very happy, and was very busy every day according to the advanced schedule.

Three days later, the mayor of Thain sent a message that the first batch of river workers recruited had already boarded the boat. Only then did Xia Duo realize that it was time for him to set off!

The environment of the Tower of Time is really too comfortable, making people reluctant to leave.

……

At the port, Xia Duo bid farewell to Eberke who came to see him off, and a group of officials led by Savile boarded the cargo ship "Lucky Owen".Seeing this, Old Owen, the captain, shouted at the top of his voice:
"sail--"

Some crew members put away the gangway, and some crew members put away the mooring ropes, but more crew members were paddling in the bilge. With the chant of "huha", "huha", the "Lucky Owen" slowly Sailed out of port.

Follow the current, all the way south.

At the bow of the boat, Xia Duo temporarily turned off the weak element balance ability of the [Crimson Robe of Protection], a wave of warm air rushed towards his face, and he turned his head to look at the rising sun in the east that was just less than a finger high .

"Summer!"

Xia Duo was a little worried about the status of those river workers when they were digging the river, but now is the most suitable season for labor, and he can't give up just now. At most, he should do the logistics work well to avoid accidental layoffs.

The boat kept sailing, even with a slight breeze, but the heat was still getting heavier, Xia Duo restored the element balance ability of the robe, and then went to the cabin to make a few large ice cubes to relieve the heat.

Afterwards, he returned to the captain's room, took out his notes and began to look through them.

……

In the afternoon, the "Lucky Owen" docked at Linshui Village, Daxialing.

Xia Duo noticed that this section of the river has been repaired. Although it has not been widened, boats can already dock at the shore. It seems that the group of river workers who came before repaired this area first.

There was an early warning by the river. After Xia Duo came ashore, Priest Leiden was already waiting on the bank with sweat on his face.

"My lord, welcome back to the territory!"

"Thanks to you."

Layton was a little moved, and then said: "Unfortunately, this is what I should do. Every time I see the establishment of order, I am full of energy!"

"Are the newcomers still used to it?"

"It's very adaptable. There are meat to eat and work to do every day. This life is better than theirs before!"

"Yeah." Xia Duo nodded with satisfaction, and asked again, "By the way, how is the situation of the house? I saw only a new house when I was on the boat?"

"My lord, that is a model house. According to my lord's instructions, I asked them to prepare the standard parts first, and then build the house in a unified way. And with that model house as a reference, ordinary people can try to build it by themselves, without the help of the carpentry team."

"So how much material has been prepared so far?"

"Not counting the model house, there are materials for about three houses."

Xia Duo calculated the time. At this time, it was less than half a month before Midsummer Festival. Compared with the previous seven or eight days before building a wooden house, the efficiency has been improved a lot.

And with the improvement of proficiency and the increase of manpower, the speed will be faster. Soon, all his subjects will be able to settle down.

"very good!"

After speaking, Xia Duo pointed to the "Lucky Owen" behind him, and said, "This time I brought fifty river workers, and there will be more in the future. You can arrange it first, and I will go to the north to have a look."

"Yes, my lord!"

Layton responded, and then called two newly recruited clerks to register first before making arrangements according to the usual practice.

　Thank you [I really don’t know what it’s called] for the 500 tip! !
thanks for your support! !
