Arcane Lord

After informing Leiden of the princess's upcoming inspection, Chateau suggested, "The experiments at the brick kiln will be temporarily stopped, and a batch of bricks will be fired first to pave the roads and squares."

"Yes, sir."

"I know that the bricks produced by the brick kiln are still very fragile and cannot withstand people's tread. However, these can be improved later. At the same time, it also shows to Her Highness the Princess the determination of Daxia Territory to continue to make progress."

In a sense, laying immature and brittle brick floors is actually just a cosmetic project, but equally, if you don't do it, no one will know.

The current bricks are definitely not up to the level that Xia Duo is satisfied with, but from the perspective of prospects, artificial bricks, and even stones, will definitely replace naturally mined stones.

Although he is still exploring the level of magic in this area for the time being, from a technical point of view, the lower the threshold, the easier it will be to popularize it. The fact that only ordinary people can participate further illustrates the potential in this area.

It is also appropriate to continue to upgrade after that.

After talking about the brick kiln, Xia Duo pointed to the piece of land in front of him that already had a prototype farmland, and continued: "This land is also used to show Her Royal Highness the Princess."

And that's not all. Since it is a "demonstration field", it must not be as simple as plowing the ground and sowing seeds. It must have the meaning of demonstration.

The demonstration significance of the brick floor is that it provides a building materials manufacturing technology and innovative method that can be continuously improved.

…

As for the "Demonstration Field", Xia Duo was preparing to introduce magic into the planting process. Yesterday when he was sorting out the "Daxia Territory Standard Development Manual", he already had a general idea.

Take out a disassembled plowshare from the dimensional bag. This kind of iron farm tool was customized by Xia Duo in Savileland early in the morning. It includes ax saws for logging, spatulas for cooking, etc., which were transported in scattered pieces. Several times.

It can be said that even Savile Territory does not have the good conditions of Linshui Village. These iron tools are expensive, and most of them need to be booked in advance.

If Chateau hadn't always had the concept of "if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools" and "sharpen your sword before chopping wood", he would probably be like Savileland, saving what he can.

Xia Duo came here for efficiency when he started developing, so why would he care about the tool money?

Due to the tight schedule of various affairs, Xia Duo has not had time to develop a more suitable [Sword Controlling] or [Weapon Controlling] spell, so now he only uses the 3rd level [Flying Spell] instead.

The plow is not an object with self-awareness, and has no idea of ​​resistance. After being subjected to the [Flying Spell], it can only "obey" obediently.

With Xia Duo's control, the plow slowly but firmly inserted into the ground, mostly submerged in the ground, and then moved forward very steadily. Upon seeing this, Leiden on the side immediately ran forward to let the citizens who were leveling the land temporarily leave.

In this way, once, twice, three or four times, using [Flying Technique] five times in total, Xia Duocai plowed all the land that was about four acres in size.

Of course, it was also leveled off.

Plowing can be done by ordinary people. Of course, it is not a demonstration of the introduction of magic into planting. Xia Duo just wants to speed up a bit, because what he wants to do next needs events to verify, and the longer the better.

After plowing the ground, Xia Duo rested for a while, then took out a bag of barley seeds, and first asked Leiden to be baptized with the Holy Power. In fact, Xia Duo could also do this step, but the positive energy he channeled was not as good as Leiden's Holy Power. The effect is good.

At the same time, it is also to involve (divine) spellcasters in a broader sense.

The seeds that had been baptized by the Holy Power were full of life. Xia Duo evenly sprinkled the bag of seeds on the newly plowed ground, forming a "wheat carpet" less than 1 meter long.

"The ultimate life, prosperity and full bloom!"

A piece of Elvish language full of mysterious rhythms came out of Sha Duo's mouth. This Elvish language was not like ordinary spoken language, but an aria-like poem, graceful and melodious.

While Xia Duo read this sentence, in conjunction with the fluctuation of the magic network triggered by the voice, he added more details and cast this 1-level elf spell.

A hazy green light shone down, and the wheat grains on the ground expanded rapidly as if time had accelerated. Roots as thin as hair emerged from one end of the grains and extended underground.

Xia Duo picked up a grain of wheat and placed it in the palm of his hand to observe carefully. The roots were not as long as the grain itself and no buds emerged. He was a little dissatisfied with the result.

But considering that this is only a level 1 spell, and the target of the spell is a bag of wheat seeds, I feel relieved.

It's not that he doesn't want to improve his spells, it's just that he doesn't know much about elven magic. Netheril has given up on the elven magic system. In the projection plane, he has only been trained as a swordsinger and has not learned systematic elven magic. .

Although the swordsinger is essentially a mage, he is actually a combat profession, or a "fighter". He specializes in only a few types of spells. He doesn't even need to understand the principles of spells, he just needs to train constantly.

Of course, those sword chanters who have pursuits will definitely find ways to improve.

This [Flowers in Bloom] spell was bought by Sha Duo from a mid-level mage from the Saviorland Mage Guild. At the time, he thought it was a psychic spell. Later, after Niya's guidance, he learned that it was an elf spell.

He didn't use it a few times after learning it. After all, the level 1 [Flowers in Bloom] wasn't enough for him to grow fruits to eat at any time!

However, Shado knows that there are druids in Netheril. Although they are few, they do exist. Perhaps they are the most suitable for farming. It is a pity that these Netheril druids have learned from the elves wrongly. Know how to advocate for forest protection.

In their eyes, it seems that only the forest is natural, but they don't know that as a human being, you need to eat to live. This is the greatest nature.

Ignoring those bad things for the time being, Xia Duo used [Flowers in Bloom] seven or eight times in succession, causing each wheat grain to grow an inch-long malt.

It's a pity that the effect of [Prosperous Blooming] has reached its limit at this level. No matter how much the spell is cast, it will be difficult to make the wheat grains grow rapidly, so Xia Duo stopped in time.

"Leiden, let people plant these wheat seedlings."

"Yes, sir."

After saying that, Xia Duo walked out of the "demonstration field" and stood aside to watch. The people who had previously leveled the land with a rake were pulled away by Leiden on the spot before they left.

After arranging the planting, Leiden came to Sha Duo, his face full of joy, "Sir, your method eliminates the biggest loss before the seeds germinate! If they can grow smoothly later, the food output of the territory will be at least It can be improved by 20%!”

"So many?!"

Xia Duo was also a little surprised. Just raising seedlings in advance increased the yield by 20%. How backward must Netheril's agriculture be!

In the Tower of Time Arcane Garden, Xia Duo has never seen seedlings raised in advance. However, if they mature in a week or even less, it doesn't matter whether they can breed or not. But if there are no seedlings outside, Xia Duo has never thought about it.

This was a common thing in Xia Duo's hometown, but it didn't happen here. He didn't know how many "surprises" he would be waiting for in the future!

After asking Leiden carefully about the farming process of ordinary farmers in Savileland, Chateau found that in addition to no advance breeding process, there was also very little fertilization. At most, they only used some poultry dung, and human waste was wasted.

However, Xia Duo did not go into too much detail about the details that could be replaced by magic. He mainly focused on general directions, such as increasing breeding, which can increase production even without using magic.

After all, seeds that are thrown into the ground and ignored are obviously not the same thing as seeds that are intensively cultivated and cared for by dedicated personnel.

As long as the general direction is correct, ordinary people and even mages will naturally fill in the details.

Reshaping the planting process, involving as many spellcasters as possible, and vaguely pointing to future development trends, this is the significance shown by Xia Duo in the "Demonstration Field".
