After talking to Lai Dun, Xia Duo came to Jie Yin's home again. According to Lai Dun's description, Jie Yin lived at home during this period and also built a simple laboratory at home to conduct experiments.
When Xia Duo arrived, he happened to see Jie Yin's mother harvesting wheat outside. Jie Yin wanted to help but was rushed aside by his mother.
At this moment, Jie Yin also discovered Xia Duo. Without bothering to argue with his mother, he immediately dropped the tools in his hands, ran towards Xia Duo, and shouted with a hint of excitement that perhaps even he himself did not feel:
"President, you are here!"
President refers to Xia Duo's status when he joins the society. Xia Duo also attaches great importance to this status. In the future, this title may be changed to "chairman", but for now, he is still called president.
Xia Duo nodded slightly, and then said jokingly: "You are very free at home!"
"President, I -" Jie Yin touched his head, not knowing how to explain, but he also knew that the president was not angry with him because of this matter.
However, Jie Yin's mother didn't think so. After hearing what Xia Duo said, she immediately dropped the tools in her hands and ran over:
"Lord, I asked Jie Yin to help me. If you want to blame, just blame me!"
As he ran closer, Jie Yin's mother pretended to kneel down. Xia Duo knew very well that this was not a performance, but the reverence engraved in the bones of the people of the current era for their lord.
Even in the Great Xia Territory, Xia Duo has given full respect and freedom to its subjects, but the shackles of the old society still remain in the hearts of these "old" subjects.
Of course, it was impossible for Xia Duo to watch Jie Yin's mother kneel down in front of him. Perhaps this was a normal thing for Jie Yin, but Xia Duo didn't think so.
It is simple to kneel down, but the significance of whether Xia Duo accepts it or not is not trivial. Once he chooses to accept it, it may bring to naught the long-term civic awareness education carried out by Daxia Territory.
As a result, Xia Duo's consciousness stirred, and the power of his blood automatically drove the surrounding air to turn into a soft cushion to support Jie Yin's mother, and said solemnly:
"I don't have Weiji Yin. I just made a joke with him. The mage of the Tower of Time is not as unhuman as you think. And remember - the subjects of my Daxia territory do not need to kneel to anyone.
, including me!
"Respect is not reflected by kneeling, and I don't need others to kneel to gain satisfaction. If you respect me, please respect the order and ideas I created!"
Xia Duo's words were not only meant for Jie Yin's mother, but also for Jie Yin. Of course, they were meant for himself.
The sages from my hometown once said, "I examine myself three times every day." As a ruler with almost unlimited power, Xia Duo wanted to see the scenery at a higher place, so naturally he would not fall for it.
But not everyone can resist the temptation of nearly unlimited power. Xia Duo is also worried that one day he will lose his advanced nature and become a truly backward feudal lord, so he must always remind himself not to forget his original intention.
Xia Duo said this. As a member of the Tower of Time and a member of the Society, Jie Yin was naturally deeply touched. Although Jie Yin's mother was a little less enlightened, she had been cultivating her in the territory. With the lord's personal explanation, she was also deeply touched.
He quickly recovered his condition.
"Jie Yin, I just came over from Leighton, and I heard from him that you have made good progress in making magic available to civilians?"
"It's okay. It's not as good as what Archon Laidun said. I just stepped into this area in advance that others have not yet set foot in. And it's because of your guidance, President. As long as others are willing, they can also do it quickly.
Catching up."
"Anyway, you are the first to make a breakthrough now. I believe your name will become a legend in the future. Now you'd better take me to see the samples."
Although Jie Yin is only a low-level mage, there are many examples in history of low-level mage and even apprentices creating very influential spells.
Inventions and creations do not have to be complex enough or advanced enough to be meaningful, but they must be just right.
If Jie Yin really solves the pain points of ordinary people using magic items, then he will at least be worthy of the title of "Legendary Mage", not to mention being famous throughout the ages.
It is normal for a legendary mage to be a low-level mage. Legend only refers to extraordinary deeds, which are either difficult for ordinary people to achieve or have great influence, rather than specific strength.
Xia Duo is very optimistic about Jie Yin, and has even considered whether to turn him into a Tower of Time or a business card from Da Xia.
…
Then, Jie Yin's mother continued to collect wheat to be dried in the field in front of the house, while Jie Yin took Xia Duo to his improvised simple laboratory.
The sky has turned gloomy in the afternoon, and it may rain again in the evening. If the wheat cannot be dried before winter, this year's harvest may be compromised again.
On the way, Jie Yin told Xia Duo about the reduction in farmland production due to abnormal weather this year, and expressed faint concern that this would make it even more difficult for Daxia, which already has more people and less land.
Regarding this, before Shado entered the projection plane, he had already started the production increase plan of the Tower of Time and the Arcane Garden of Spire No. 1.
After entering the projection plane, he discovered that the climate anomaly in the main plane may be related to the loss of control of the Dragon Madness Lock. In other words, this climate anomaly may become the norm in the future, or even worsen.
If things get worse, maybe all the food the Netherese people eat in the future will come from the Arcane Garden.
If you want to stop the deterioration or even eliminate the existing climate anomaly, you need to overhaul the Dragon Crazy Mystery Lock, but Xia Duo doesn't have that much energy to study the Dragon Crazy Mystery Lock right now.
Not to mention that it is very likely that the elves will be disturbed when repairing it. If it accidentally triggers a world war, that would be bad.
For the time being, we can only postpone this matter and wait for a turnaround. Fortunately, the main system of the floating city has been completed. As long as the arcane garden is built, it will be enough to supply all the citizens of the territory.
The maximum designed capacity of the floating city is 2 million people, and the design plan of the Arcane Garden is also based on this data. If the current territory plus Savile Territory is less than 200,000, a floating city is more than enough.
If the weather on the ground is really bad, then just move them all to the floating city.
However, Xia Duo did not tell Jieyin these words for the time being. He only told him that the Tower of Time had already prepared a response plan. As for the abnormal climate, Severnton was already investigating, and the results might be available next year.
…
Soon, Xia Duo came to Jie Yin's laboratory, which was actually the barn next to the house, and built a compartment in it. Its simplicity - it shouldn't be so crude, made Xia Duo frown.
Speaking of it, since Xia Duo traveled through time, even the most difficult times have never been so bad. However, he also knew that Jie Yin was not without conditions. He had already equipped Jie Yin with a private laboratory in Spire No. 1.
