Arcane Lord

"That's why the situation is even more urgent!"

Iolum sighed, looking at the talented student who was over 100 years old in front of him, he felt both proud and a little disappointed.

"The establishment of the Northern Alliance will indeed help the stable development of the northern countries, but such a stable environment is not only beneficial to Netheril, but also beneficial to the elves!

"Cormanthor has always been hostile to non-elven races. Now that its strength has been severely damaged, it may not do anything to us for quite some time, but once it recovers from this loss, do you really think Can the so-called Northland Alliance be our reliance? "

Seeing Brod's thoughtful look, Iolum continued: "There is another news. You may not know it now, but everyone may know it soon. I will tell you here in advance!"

"Teacher, what's the news?"

"Do you still remember the news that His Highness Shia spread not long ago about the new god challenging the Lord of Glory? That new god is the Drow Ascension God!"

"Drow?!" Brod was very surprised, but thinking that Netheril's god-ascension ritual was obtained from the elves, it was not unimaginable that the drow also had one.

"It's the drow, and not long ago, the new drow god appeared in Cormanthor!"

"Is it because of the new drow god that Cormanthor's army suffered heavy losses?"

"Yes! And according to the news from our old friends in Danzo, a god of vengeance has appeared in the underground world. He is attacking and integrating the drow tribes everywhere, and may come to the surface at any time. You must know that Netheril There are also many underground passages within the territory!”

After saying that, Iolum concluded: "Stability is always relative, but crisis always exists! If Netheril does not have an independent arcane fire device for a day, the potential of the arcanist will not be released!"

"Teacher, I understand!"

"Just understand! Magic is indeed what we pursue, but our lives should not only be about magic. You should care more about the land you live in!"

"Yes, teacher!" Brod nodded seriously.

…

Soon, the chaotic magic laboratory was cleaned up, and Iolum and Brod walked out of the laboratory together. As they were leaving, Iolum suddenly said:

"I'm going to reorganize my thinking recently. There will be matters related to the Arcane Federation in the future, and there will be no arcane fire experiments in a short time. After the Grand Arcanist Joint Meeting, you can go to the Severnton Council to get a Exploitation order, go and develop the territory!”

"Teacher, are you going to drive me away?" Brod's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what the teacher said.

Iolum put his hand on Brod's shoulder, exerting a slight force, and his love was beyond words: "How could I drive you away! You will always be my student!"

But then, he said with expectation: "But staying in the mage tower and staying by my side will only limit your growth. The world today is not peaceful, and I hope you can grow up as soon as possible. Get up and take on more responsibilities!”

"Teacher!" Brod's eyes were red and his voice was choked.

"Why are you still acting like a kid? If Savile sees this, he will laugh at you for a hundred years!"

"He dares?!"

When it came to Savile, Brod immediately became interested in comparison. If Savile hadn't suddenly disappeared, he might have followed him and chosen to expand his territory!

Thinking of this, Brod no longer resisted the teacher's suggestion. He just opened up his territory. Could he still be no better than Savile?

"Teacher, I'm going to apply for a pioneering order now. I haven't attended the Grand Arcanist Joint Meeting anyway, so I won't wait until then."

"You, you!"

Iolum looked at the excited Brod and shook his head secretly. Sometimes this guy is very mature, sometimes he is too childish.

However, he knew that Brod had no bad intentions, so he did not say that the Grand Arcanist Joint Meeting not long after was actually the day when he officially took over as the president of the Arcane Federation.

At the same time, he also thought of another nominal student, Lord Chateau, who was so different in age from Brod, but his performance in all aspects was much more mature than Brod.

Could it be that I was really too protective of Brod?

"I hope he can grow in the process of developing and managing the territory!"

…

Southern border, Saville Territory.

Following last year's territorial official organization of a joint autumn harvest, this year, under the organization and leadership of Mayor Sein, villages and localities have launched joint spring sowing campaigns.

A large number of idle laborers were gathered together to carry out organized and planned collective labor. Compared with last year, the spring sowing in the territory was completed nearly ten days earlier than last year.

After the spring sowing, the territory restarted the development plan that had been suspended for some reason last year, using the southernmost Baiyang Village and Gray Rabbit Village as the east-west boundary and developing southward.

Compared with the past, during this time of development, the territory officials not only provided meals for each pioneer, but also paid extra wages, which was a full 5 silver coins per person per day!

The shiny new silver coins attracted a large number of ordinary farmers who were ready to take a rest after spring sowing, and even many adventurers.

After all, not every adventurer has the courage to fight monsters and beasts, so having a chance to make money safely is already great!

Of course, there are also reasons why the Territory Guard participated in the development.

The Green Pearl Forest has been cleaned up countless times over the years. There are already relatively few monsters and beasts in it. With the participation of the Territory Guard, how much meat can the adventurers get?

It's better to get a dead salary. Although it's only 5 silver coins a day, it depends on who you compare with. Of course, you can't compare with those outstanding adventurers, but it's not a little bit better than ordinary civilians.

Most adventurers are ordinary people, and all they want is to live a better life than ordinary people. For those who really want to get rich overnight with one or two legendary adventures, the grass on their graves will already be more than three feet high.

After the development plan was launched, a blank passage about 500 meters wide soon appeared in the Lvzhu Forest. Starting from Baiyang Village and Gray Rabbit Village, it continued to advance towards the south at a sustained and steady speed!

…

In the south, Daxia leads.

To the north of the Tower of Time, a 500-meter passage similar to the Savile Territory development site in the north is also advancing firmly to the north.

The day the two meet is the day the two places are truly connected!

In Linshui Village, in the conference room on the first floor of the Lord's Villa, a discussion about the construction of Daxia Ling New Village was going on in full swing.

In Linshui Village today, it is very inconvenient for thousands of people to be crowded together in the third phase residential area. With the start of land transfer work, the construction of new villages has become an urgent task!
