Arcane Lord

The addition of Leiden brought new opportunities to the development of the Great Xia Territory. Shador Leiden kept asking about the situation of the temple, hoping to dig out a few more magical casters through Leiden.

Of course, it must be a believer in the Lord of Glory.

In the living room of Mrs. Patty's house, Chateau and Priest Leiden had a lively conversation. Even in front of Mrs. Patty and Armen, Chateau said very bluntly:

"I need the help of the Leyden priest, just like a fish gets water!"

Although it was difficult to connect monarchs and ministers with fish and water, Priest Leiden's keen perception, which he had honed by being with God all the time, still allowed him to feel Chateau's sincerity and trust.

Leiden was very moved and delighted, not only because the Lord of Glory's way would be walked on the earth and his authority would be expanded, but also because of Shado's trust in him.

"Lord, Leiden will swear to the death to uphold the laws you created!"

Xia Duo nodded with satisfaction. In fact, in terms of trust, he didn't necessarily trust Leiden. The relationship between people was not so easy to close. He was just based on rational judgment.

Rather than saying that he trusted Leiden, it was better to say that he trusted the Lord of Radiance and the tacit understanding between the lord and the temple in Netheril over the years.

"Leiden, where do you live now?"

"I am an orphan and have been living in the temple."

"In this way -" Sha Duo thought for a while and looked at Mrs. Patty, "Madam, please prepare a few houses for me near the port, so that the people I have recruited can live in first."

"No problem. The Liaton Chamber of Commerce has two warehouses at the port. They can be accommodated with a little renovation." Mrs. Patty promised immediately.

"Okay!" Shado continued to instruct Leighton, "Mrs. Patty has recruited 20 new people for me. You can move over and teach them Proverbs."

Speaking of "Proverbs" is naturally to strengthen his rule. Now that he is standing in the position of lord, he can read "Proverbs" as much as he likes it.

And this is exactly what Leiden wants, "Lord, I will definitely do this well!"

What could make him happier than being able to personally practice the teachings of the Lord of Glory!

After explaining the matter, Shado arranged for Leiden to sort out the relevant laws of Netheril and Savil for his reference.

He could not change the prevailing laws in Netheril, but in a specific territory, the lord had absolute authority and could make any local laws that did not conflict with the laws of the empire.

Now that he is about to own a territory, Xia Duo naturally wants to transform it according to his own wishes and let his will permeate every aspect of the territory.

…

After Leiden left, Shado chatted with Arman for a while, and after leaving his secret mark on the back of his hand, Shado returned to the mage tower.

In the next few days, Shado would leave the Mage Tower for a moment at noon every day. In addition to going to the Liaton Chamber of Commerce to understand the situation, Hans, Flash Gold, and Slavin Chamber of Commerce also needed attention.

That day, he had just returned to the Mage Tower from meeting the first batch of residents of Daxia Territory from the port warehouse, and Niya sent a message asking Sha Duo to go to her residence.

Only then did Sha Duo realize that this afternoon was the time for Niya to teach "Intermediate Arcane Geometry". He immediately returned to the room to pick up the book and came to Niya.

"tutor."

"Yeah." Niya didn't chat and got down to the topic, "'Intermediate Arcane Geometry' is a required course for low-level mages in the Pure White Tower. Do you know why?"

"Is it to train arcanists?" Xia Duo answered casually according to his own understanding.

"Yes, even the mage apprentices in the Pure White Tower have learned the basic course. This is the will of the Great Arcanist. Although the Tower of Time does not have such regulations, I hope you can do it. Next, I will use Pure White Tower standards require you."

Seeing that Niya didn't seem to be joking, Sha Duo quickly said: "Teacher Niya, wait a minute, what is the standard for a pure white tower you are talking about?"

The instructors on the other side of the Pure White Tower must be stronger than those on the Tower of Time, and they must hold themselves to the standards there, but what about the instructors?

"Proficient in intermediate arcane geometry before reaching the intermediate level, and proficient in advanced arcane geometry before reaching the advanced level. This is almost the only way to become an arcanist."

Seemingly sensing Xia Duo's worry, Niya added, "I have already learned advanced arcane geometry and there is no problem in teaching it to you!"

"Hehe." Xia Duo said no more.

Next is Niya's teaching time. Maybe Niya has really finished learning "Advanced Arcane Geometry", but her teaching level is still at the primary stage.

After a while, Xia Duo discovered that what Niya was talking about was very similar to what was in the book "Intermediate Arcane Geometry". He thought that there was a magic book in "Elementary", and maybe there was also a magic book in the intermediate level.

And Niya just read the book according to the content in the magic book. The content in the magic book is more detailed than ordinary books. If Shado hadn't read the "Elementary" magic book before, he might not have noticed it at all.

The magic book that reminds me of "Elementary" clearly shows that it was compiled by the great arcanist Xavier based on Iolum's teachings.

Perhaps Nese did not have a systematic pedagogy at all, and Xia Duo could clearly feel that the details in the "Elementary" course were inappropriate.

The same may be true of "Intermediate".

At this point, Xia Duoyao's hope was focused on tomorrow's Q\u0026A. Q\u0026A was the time to show the instructor's true strength, and the teaching was still somewhat unsatisfactory.

While Xia Duo listened, he compared what Niya said with the content in the ordinary version of "Intermediate Arcane Geometry", and sometimes recorded some key points in his notes.

The afternoon passed in a hurry, and just when Sha Duo was about to leave, Niya suddenly stopped him, "The territory is about to be expanded, do you need any help?"

Xia Duo didn't react for a while, but then he realized that the territory expansion mentioned by Niya was referring to the Savile Territory. Xia Duo was overjoyed. Does this mean that the elf mage outside has been eliminated?

Regarding Niya's offer of help, Xia Duo hesitated but refused, "Thank you, mentor, but the lord has already provided me with a batch of supplies and a team of soldiers."

Under the current situation, there is still no problem in satisfying initial development. Of course, Xia Duo wouldn't mind asking others for help if he really needed it.

Shado felt that Niya should feel a little indebted to him because of the Nese Scroll, but this was a consensual transaction between him and Lord Savile, and it was indeed inappropriate to get benefits from Niya.

However, Xia Duo didn't want the substantial benefits, but he had already received some hidden benefits. Sha Duo thought about what Niya had said before, asking him to meet the standards of a pure white tower. Perhaps a responsible mentor would be a good harvest.

…

After returning to his residence, Shado immediately summoned Arman and asked him to send someone to pay attention to the lord's pioneering team, how many people there were, and whether there were any spellcasters.

Afterwards, Xia Duo sorted out the magic scrolls he had made during this period. There were 45 in total, most of which were [Magic Weapons] and [Magic Alerts].

This is a spell needed to expand the territory, but Xia Duo does not plan to use these scrolls in the Great Xia Territory. If he sells them for money, he can sell them for more than 20 gold coins. If he uses them directly, it is too luxurious!

Xia Duo planned to exchange these into gold coins, and then into personnel and materials. As for magic, he's fine.

In order to subsequently increase his authority in the Mage Tower, Xia Duo planned to sell these scrolls directly to the Mage Tower to eliminate the unfinished task indicators for his previous promotion authority.

Once this is over, Shado's scroll will be used to pay off the debt.
