Arcane Lord

the next day.

In the restaurant of the territory villa, Xia Duo and Niya came here to have breakfast as usual. While eating, they chatted about some interesting things that happened in the territory. The scene was very warm.

After breakfast, Niya was about to return to the Tower of Time, when Shado asked her: "How long will it take to complete the improvements after the third test of the communication mystery lock?"

"Three or four days, why do you suddenly ask this?" Niya was a little curious.

"I'm just asking casually. Savile is planning to conduct a lunar exploration mission in a few days. If you're not busy then, you can go there and have a look."

In fact, the Tower of Time lunar exploration operation was originally scheduled for the end of last month. The reason why it was placed at the end of the month was mainly because the moon is the roundest at the end of the month, which may be more conducive to observation.

But the time was inevitably a little rushed. No, during the preliminary preparations for the lunar exploration, Savile discovered that the full moon was not necessarily conducive to observation. At that time, the moon was too strong, and it would obscure many details.

In addition, they were also worried that the risk of offending the moon god would be greater if the detection was carried out during the full moon, so in the end the time was postponed by half a month to the middle of the month, when only a little bit of the crescent moon was left.

Even if you really offend the Moon God, you can use the excuse that you are not detecting the moon. If full moon detection means staring face to face, then crescent moon detection is equivalent to inadvertently glancing at it.

If there really is a divine punishment, it will be lighter.

Of course, it is impossible to completely avoid risks. Even if there is no risk of offending the Moon God, there may be other risks, such as attracting alien enemies or simply an experimental accident.

Doing nothing has the lowest risk, but that is impossible. If you really do nothing, how can magic develop and how can magic civilization be built?

Someone has to go through the thorny road, so why not yourself? This is actually the responsibility and honor of the pioneers.

Niya did not refuse Xia Duo's request. She was actually quite concerned about this operation. She was curious about the state of the moon and worried about her great-grandfather's safety.

"I will complete the improvement of the mystery lock in advance, and we will take a look at it then."

"Um."

"Then I'll go back." Niya had already turned around and was about to leave, then suddenly turned back and asked, "What about you?"

"I heard from Leiden yesterday that there will be several inter-village primary schools opening today. I'm going to go check it out later. By the way, Linshui Junior High School will also open in a while, and there may be an opening ceremony then. Pay attention to your schedule, it won’t be complete if you’re not here.”

"Let me know when the specific date of the opening ceremony is confirmed, and I will make arrangements."

"Well, I just want to inform you in advance so as not to be caught off guard."

In fact, it's not that they are really caught off guard. After all, neither Xia Duo nor Niya has a boss above their heads to urge them on. Sometimes being a little lazy can be considered a balance between work and rest!

…

After Niya left, Xia Duo also went out. When he came out of the territorial villa, working groups from the territorial development department had appeared in the huge open space to the south. Construction had begun in this area.

This is the most difficult part of the entire Linshui Town reconstruction project, because a high-standard large-scale square is planned to be built in this area.

If it is just a square, no matter how high the specifications are, with the current capabilities of the Territory Development Department, it will not be very difficult, but if it is a floating city base, the difficulty will be too high.

Of course, this base was not prepared for the current Chang'an City, but for Yongle City, the second floating city still in the [Blue Crystal Plane].

The main body of Chang'an City is made of stone. If you don't rely on magic, it is impossible to stop on the ground. Its own weight alone is enough to crush it. However, the main body of Yongle Village is made of fine gold. Even without relying on magic, it can still stop on the ground normally. superior.

In the future, for the maintenance and repair of the floating city, and even the update of the mysterious lock, it will definitely be safer to stay on the ground than flying in the sky. It is also possible to place it on the [Azure Plane], but Xia Duo prefers to use it as a secret construction base.

In other words, there should also be a base on the main plane, which is on the west side of the current Linshui Town, in the area sandwiched between the Linshui River and the Wolfburg River.

If you want to dock in an adamantine city, it is obviously not something that an ordinary square can satisfy. Not to mention that as a floating city base, it also needs various facilities for maintenance and repair.

This is a big project, no less difficult than building a high-standard mage tower, but most of the people in the Territory Development Department are ordinary people, with only a few construction mages recruited from the Tower of Time.

Considering that Yongle City has not yet opened to the main plane, and Chang'an City will not need this base for quite some time, Xia Duo chose to let the citizens do it.

Use such a large project to nurture the buds of magical architecture in the territory.

He has already made the base map, or the drawing of Yongle Plaza, and he will only wait for Clark and others to return from Everesca to take over the project.

As for what the Territory Development Department is doing now, it is actually more of the things that ordinary people can participate in, such as leveling the land and building bases, and not even all of it.

The foundation of the square is based on the Elf's Mystery Altar, which requires a large amount of gold to be poured. It is a very classic method of building permanent magic facilities, but the current territory does not have the construction capabilities.

In addition, so much gold also puts a considerable financial pressure on the Tower of Time, and it cannot be collected in a short time. Xia Duo has already prepared to start construction for several years before only building a foundation.

This is nothing. Even if he can collect so much gold at once, he will most likely not do so. Gold piled in the warehouse will not continue to produce gold. As long as the collection volume can keep up with the construction period, there is no need to collect it all at once.

…

From the Yongle Square under construction to the south is the original altar and part of the cemetery. At the beginning of the reconstruction of Linshui Town, the cemetery had moved south, and this area was planned as a green park.

It is connected to Yongle Square in the north and Linshui Town Residential Area in the east, which is convenient for people to play in their spare time.

From the outside, the current residential area has been completed more than half. Of course, many supporting facilities have not been fully built yet, which requires a while.

To the south of the residential area is the barracks. The original barracks are the current residential area, which has also moved south. Now this is still a temporary camp, and the construction of the permanent camp has not yet begun.

This is also what Xia Duo meant. Prioritize government affairs and people's livelihood. The barracks can be moved back a little bit. Because of the strict discipline, living in the tents is not necessarily worse than the permanent camp.

The current barracks are mainly responsible for daily patrols of the territory, mainly the border area between the territory and the forest, which also includes the [Daxia-Savier Passage] connecting the north and the south.

There is also the deep forest to clear out all kinds of creatures that threaten the daily activities of the people in the territory.

Of course, there are some duties that don't need to be stated clearly, that is, guarding the cemetery. The death priests are exposed to negative energy for a long time. If something happens, it will not be a trivial matter, so there are people watching the cemetery in the barracks 24 hours a day.
