Arcane Lord

In the next few days, Xia Duo planted several more bags of wheat seeds one after another until all four acres of the "demonstration field" were planted.

At the same time, large-scale formal production began in the brick kilns. In order to increase the speed, Xia Duoming built several new brick kilns.

At present, these brick kilns are relatively small in size, and the bricks fired at one time are extremely limited. It is difficult to make a breakthrough in a short period of time. Moreover, Xia Duo has little experience in this area, but it is not difficult to increase the speed with quantity.

It's just that the number of workers needed has doubled several times. Coupled with the increase in manpower at the wooden house manufacturing side, this adjustment of human resources has actually affected Daxia Ling's autumn sowing this year, and even spring sowing.

However, Xia Duo plans to start the production increase mode for Arcane Garden when the Tower of Time's energy reserves are relatively sufficient. In addition to dealing with the grain trade in Conifera City, it shouldn't be difficult to get some rations for the two hundred or so households in Daxia.

Of course, he would not place all his hopes on the Arcane Garden. If Linshui Village can produce its own food, it must do its best to produce it by itself. Even if it is not possible now, it must catch up in the future.

He still understands that food and land stabilize people's hearts.

In the past few days, Xia Duo has completed nearly half of the "Pioneering Manual". They are all things he has experienced personally. He just needs to organize them and polish them a little, add his own thoughts, and then record them.

Xia Duo had a rough draft in his mind. If there was no typewriter and handwriting limited his speed, he might have completed it long ago.

As for magic, he hasn't discovered magic that can write yet, and he doesn't have time to study it himself now. If he just controls the mithril pen to write on paper like the "Plowshare" and "Flying Sword", then he might as well just do it manually. It’s convenient and quick!

In order to cope with the princess's inspection, Xia Duo temporarily slowed down his advancement plan and spent more energy on the territory. In addition to patrolling everywhere on weekdays, he also personally led the team deep into the forest to clean up nearby creatures.

Of course, before going to bed at night, he would also use magic to continue to expand the "demonstration field." Regardless of the demonstration significance, this field was indeed a wheat field that could produce food.

Now is the end of autumn sowing, which is the last stubborn sign of the summer heat. If the wheat seeds are not planted and sprouted before the heat dissipates, it will be difficult for them to survive the entire winter.

It can even be said that if there is no magical seedling cultivation, no matter how many seeds are sown, the final harvest will most likely not be as many as the seeds!

…

On this day, Xia Duo had just seen the construction of the lord's villa and came to the Altar Square. The largest consumption of bricks in the territory was here. At this moment, nearly half of the square was covered with earth-yellow bricks.

Because it was a mud floor before, even if the ground was uneven, it was not very noticeable, but now that it is paved with neat bricks, the unevenness is highlighted.

Therefore, after the actual laying, Chateau would have people adjust it again. By now, the obvious protrusions have disappeared, but the overall ups and downs have become more obvious.

"The territory still lacks craftsmen!"

With a sigh in his heart, Xia Duo was about to go to the fields to the east of Linshui Village to have a look, but at this moment, Niya sent news through the tower spirit - the princess will arrive in the next day or two!

It's "arrival", not "departure"!

However, in the magical world, departure is likely to mean arrival. After receiving the news, Shado immediately became nervous. A great arcanist really came to inspect!

I don’t know if we should hold a welcome ceremony or something?

However, when he thought that he had not finished writing the "Pioneering Manual", Xia Duo immediately gave up the idea of ​​going to the fields in the east and returned to the small camp to seize the time to write the manuscript.

As for the welcome ceremony, forget it. Mages are relatively pragmatic and have no work to do. No matter how fancy it is, it will be useless.

…

In the afternoon of the next day, Xia Duo threw away the mithril pen in his hand, shook off his sour right hand, leaned back on the seat, looked at the top of the small tent and let out a long sigh of relief:

"Finally finished!"

Before, he only knew that the princess was likely to come for inspection before winter, and there was no exact arrival time, so he didn't need to rush and could basically finish it easily.

But now that time has suddenly shortened before his eyes, he can't help but relax.

Fortunately, the "Pioneering Manual" has been completed, and the "demonstrations" outside are more meaningful than actual.

After resting for a while, Xia Duo walked out of the small tent. Before taking two steps, he suddenly noticed something. He looked up to the east and saw a gap in the sky.

There were traces of lightning flashing inside, and the gap was still expanding. Of course, as the gap expanded, the traces of lightning disappeared, as if what Sha Duo had just seen was completely an illusion.

However, the very obvious gap in the sky was not an illusion. He immediately realized that it was probably the princess who had arrived. Shado immediately summoned Leiden and asked him to appease the people.

After that, he continued to summon the leaders of each working group and the captain of the territorial guard, asking them to appease their subordinates.

At the same time, he also checked his attire. There was no problem with the [Crimson Protection Robe], and there was no problem with the [Pioneer Scepter]. As for the gold paper document of the Pioneer, he also took it out from the space at any time and put it away. Arrived in the dimensional bag.

Although he had expectations for the Grand Arcanist's behavior; even though the portable space was very secretive, Shado still didn't want to use the portable space in front of them.

Not to mention anything else, the aura fluctuations when using the dimensional bag are difficult to disguise. In front of other mages, Xia Duo is sure to fool him, but in front of the great arcanist, he still doesn't want to do anything.

After transferring all the items that may be needed to the dimensional belt in advance, Xia Duo had time to observe the changes in the crack in the eastern sky.

It only took a few minutes from the time the crack appeared to when it expanded into a circular passage that looked like a curtain of flowing water. It took Bishop Ambril a full morning to open the portal to the shadow plane.

It seems to be inter-dimensional, but in fact the Shadow Plane is very closely connected with the Material Plane, and it can only be opened with the help of the Lord of Light.

And this portal is likely to connect Severton to Linshui Village. The distance that ordinary ships need to sail for several months has now become a step away.

The most important thing is that this power comes entirely from human hands. In other words, this is also the power that Sha Duo may master in the future.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo looked at the portal hanging in mid-air, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"It's just that the portal has been opened, why is no one coming?"

Through the portal that looked like a water curtain, Xia Duo could vaguely see the light and shadow fluctuations on the opposite side, which looked like human figures, but he was not sure. Compared with the portal when returning to the Tower of Time from the Arcane Federation, this portal is obviously blurry.

Of course, it is also possible that it is one-way visibility. Sha Duo remembers that in the Tower of Time there are tips on how to see the other side through the portal, but this kind of knowledge clearly belongs to "not urgent, urgent" in Sha Duo's "priority" classification. "less important" category.

After a while, Leiden, who had already comforted the residents, came to Sha Duo and said, "Sir, the residents have begun to continue their work."

"Um."

Xia Duo nodded. In fact, before today, he had imagined many situations. Of course, the portal was one of them, but he really didn't expect it to appear in the sky.

Many relevant plans have been made, the most important of which is - business as usual.
