Arcane Lord

It was approaching noon that day. Xia Duo put away his notes and prepared to go out for a walk. At the same time, he also conducted concentration training. This was what he had done in the past period.

At first, he just thought about two things at the same time in a still state as a concentration training, but later he found that thinking while walking seemed more efficient, so he tried it.

In this way, all the time spent on patrols and inspections are utilized, and every second counts. The progress does not slow down just because he is not in the mage tower.

On the contrary, because we were outside the mage tower, far away from comfort, we felt a sense of urgency.

After walking out of the small tent, directly opposite to the west is the altar of the Lord of Glory. To the north of the altar, there are more and more wooden houses with the same specifications.

Xia Duo didn't like such a rough wooden house. Instead of living in that one, it would be better to get it right in one step. He planned to build a villa to the east of the altar, further east of the current small camp.

During this period, in addition to transporting river diggers, some construction stones were also delivered. According to the plan, if nothing unexpected happens, craftsmen will come on the next trip.

Going north from the altar, you pass a series of wooden houses, and further north are temporary work sheds. The residents who have not yet been assigned residences, as well as the workers who are digging the river further north, live here.

According to Xia Duo's philosophy, even temporary work sheds are neatly planned. Even if they are a little messy individually, they look harmonious as a whole.

Of course, this was indispensable without the efforts of the Leiden priests who also respected order.

At present, Leiden has not accepted the allocated wooden house. He uses the office space in the work shed area as his residence. Xia Duo does not force it. With such hard-working subordinates, it is not too late for him to be happy!

"I've met the lord!"

"Good afternoon, Lord!"

To the east from the work shed area is the place where the residents fought against the forest. A large area of ​​ground that has been burned and turned gray, almost a mountain of logs in the north, and the sound of sawing wood in the south.

This is the place where logs are repaired and standard parts of wooden houses are made. Further south, after a while, Xia Duo returned to the small camp where he temporarily lived -

To the east of the small tent, where the lord's villa is to be built, a pile of stones is arranged neatly.

Continuing to the south, the gray-black ground continues here. Surrounding the Linshui Village settlement with the Altar of the Lord of Glory as the core, large areas of forest have been cut down.

Further away, a small section of wooden fence has been erected. There will be the wall of Linshui Village. Outside the wall are the fields. There is no trace of the fields yet!

Just clearing the trees is a big problem!

Wanting to set everything on fire, but worried about causing trouble, the elves have intervened in human development of the forest more than once in the history of Netheril.

This time the princess's pioneering movement is so intense, Xia Duo believes that there must be some connection, but now that the Tower of Time has insufficient energy, it is better to cause less trouble.

In addition, if you set a fire and burn it directly, not only will the fire be difficult to control, but the wood itself will also be wasted, which is really a pity.

After inspecting various places, Xia Duo went to see the Territory Guard, which had now been expanded to 30 people. Counting the Gibb team that had been assigned to the Daxia Territory, there were a total of forty people.

In addition to daily patrols, vigilance, and cleaning up wild beasts, those who come off the rotation must receive training in the use of magic items from Ava. These are the people Sha Duo went to see.

Seeing Xia Duo, Ava asked the ten soldiers who had been rotated to continue training, while he came up to him and saluted respectfully, "Sir!"

"Well." Xia Duo looked at the ten people not far away and asked, "How is the situation? Has anyone learned it?"

"Sir, except for Simon before, others still need more training. In addition-" Ava hesitated.

Sha Duo immediately understood and took out twenty 0-level [Light Spell] scrolls from his personal space and handed them to Ava, "Don't worry about the magic scrolls. I will ask them to send them over from the Tower of Time."

Of course, there is no need for Xia Duo to make a mere 0-ring scroll himself. If he has the time to make a high-level scroll, he can get a bunch of 0-ring scrolls even if he goes outside to exchange them.

It's just that he can't bear it if he keeps consuming it. He needs 20 servings almost every day, which is simply burning money.

But for the sake of the Spell Breakers in his heart, Xia Duo could only grit his teeth and persevere, but——

"If some people really can't learn it, they don't need to participate in training. I don't require everyone to learn it, but those who can learn it must learn it as soon as possible!"

In fact, as long as you keep training, you will eventually learn it, but the input-output rate is really pitifully low, and Xia Duo is not willing to make a loss-making business.

"Yes, sir!" Ava responded.

Sha Duo was about to leave and go to the next place for inspection. He noticed that Ava's expression suddenly changed. Just as he was about to ask, he heard a faint shout coming from the southeast.

Without asking, he knew something was wrong, and then a sharp whistle sounded.

This is a sign of encountering a difficult enemy!

——Level 3 [Flying Skill]!

Xia Duo decisively extracted the pre-stored spells from the magic net, blessed himself with almost instantaneous speed, soared into the sky, and flew towards the southeast.

While flying, Xia Duo looked back and saw that the working citizens had put down their work and started running towards the altar of the Lord of Glory.

At the same time, he also saw Priest Leiden, holding the Holy Light high, commanding order. He had no worries anymore, and Sha Duo was flying faster.

The signal was sent by a ten-man team that was rotated to clean up the beasts. According to the task list, Simon should be leading the team today. Sha Duo felt a little worried.

It took an unknown number of magic scrolls to train a person who could use them, and that was Simon. He was the squad leader before, but was kicked off later. This time he learned to use magic items, and after being kicked off as the squad leader Performance has been good.

Of the two newly formed teams, Xia Duo directly appointed him as team leader, while the other is still an agent.

If Simon dies, the loss will be huge.

…

On the other side, Simon held a spear with both hands and thrust forward suddenly, but the enemy in front of him still ignored him and pressed the tip of his spear to poke the bone spur in his hand.

The soldier holding the shield in front used all his strength to resist the tall monster that was leaping crazily in front of him. The spear from behind kept attacking, but it had no effect at all.

Not only could it not really harm the other party, it would instead make the other party even crazier. Bloodthirsty eyes swept back and forth on the members of Simon's team, and strange screams came out of their mouths.

This greatly increased the fear of the team members——

"Captain, I can't do it anymore, I'm really going to die this time!"

"Simon, do you think we can go back this time?"

There were already uncoordinated voices in the team, and Simon shouted angrily: "Shut up! If you don't want to die, cheer up! A distress signal has been sent, and someone will definitely come to save us!"

Although he said this, Simon himself didn't have much confidence, what a two trolls! Why did he encounter this situation when it was his turn to come out?

The only good thing is that when he came out, he strictly followed the rules for going out and brought two shields. Otherwise, their team would have been killed by these two trolls long ago, but in this situation, they were killed within a short distance. I can't hold on much longer.

Thinking of this, Simon couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.
