If the arcane garden in the mage tower is just for the purpose of adding an area for planting, it is actually unnecessary. Only by building a growth circle can it be considered of practical value.
The several farms in the floating city have vast land, so it is not necessary to build a growth circle, but whether it is there and whether it is used are completely different things.
However, in a short period of time, Xia Duo only planned the growth array of the first farm to alleviate the food shortage in the territory. As for the other farms, they can be considered later.
Of course, what Xia Duo really means is that when there are more high-level mages in the Tower of Time, these things can be left to those high-level mages.
"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"
This can not only exercise their practical ability, but also prevent them from being idle and causing trouble.
…
After a day's rest, Shado brought Cecily the materials for the growth circle that he had prepared in advance and came to the first farm. Savile and Niya came to help.
But when the three of them were busy until noon, news came from the Seven Towers that Brundes would be sent to deliver some important news.
As a last resort, Shado could only temporarily return to the Tower of Time. As for the work on the First Farm, he could only trouble Savile and Niya first.
Tower of Time, reception room.
When Chateau arrived, he saw Brundes pacing back and forth in the room, seemingly very anxious, and at that moment he had some guesses about the purpose of his visit.
"Director Brundes, we haven't seen each other for just a few days. What orders do you have from Seven Towers?"
"Lord Shado was joking. This time I came here with orders to ask Lord Shado to go to Severton on the first day of next year to participate in Master Yerevan's ascension ceremony."
"The first day tomorrow?"
When Xia Duo heard this, he was inevitably a little shocked, "The time for the final ceremony has been determined?"
"Yes. In fact, judging from the entire process of the ascension ceremony, the ceremony had already begun when I set out to come here."
"I understand. Is there anything else I want you to tell me from Seven Towers?"
"this--"
Brundes hesitated for a moment, with a look of struggle on his face, and finally said: "Sir Horn, let me tell you that if it is convenient, you can come to Severton a few days in advance."
Although Brundes did not say anything clearly, based on his previous experience in Sluvende, Shado could completely guess that Horn asked him to go there a few days in advance, either to deal with some problems or to prepare for the Seven Towers.
Ascension order platform.
Xia Duo didn't want to choose either, so he excused himself: "I'm busy with the construction of the floating city recently, so I'm afraid it's hard to be distracted, but I won't be absent from Master Yerevan's ascension ceremony."
Not only Shado will not be absent from Master Yerevan's ascension ceremony, but most likely the other great arcane masters of Netheril will also be absent.
However, the attitude of the elves towards Netheril's second ascension ceremony may be revealed one day.
…
The serious talk was soon over, and the two sides exchanged some of the latest information they had as usual. Of course, on Chateau's side, it was mainly Brundes who said it, and he listened.
"The turmoil in Yeerlan has gradually subsided. According to what we have learned, King Helion intends to make concessions to his opponents in order to complete the true unification of Yeerlan as soon as possible."
"Does Director Brundes know the specific concessions?"
"I know, even if I don't tell you, Lord Xia Duo should be able to receive relevant news after a while."
Brundes forced out a smile and continued: "Originally, King Helion of Yeerlan wanted to establish a system similar to the Yin Erfa Lang ruling advisory group.
"It's just that the actual power of Yin Erlan's ruling advisory group is greater than that of the crowned king, but Helian wants to use the name of the advisory group to truly control Yin Erlan's absolute power.
"But now King Helion has given up on his previous plan due to the recent defeat in the war, and instead compromised with the opponents. He learned from the experience of Cormanthor and Yin Erfalang respectively, and set up a mage leader, a war commander, and a group that encompasses all parties.
The Gaoshu Council of Elders of the Fang forces.
"If I remember correctly, there was a Gaoshu Council of Elders before Ye'erlan, right? Is there any difference between this one now and before?" Sha Duo asked.
"Lord Xia Duo remembers it correctly. The previous Gaoshu Council of Elders also included all forces. The difference lies in the actual power."
Brenders further explained: "In the past, the Yelan Gaoshu Council of Elders was actually just a quarrel place for various upper-ranking families to vent their dissatisfaction and had no real power. But now, the Gaoshu Council of Elders that King Helion wants to establish has
As long as the Gaoshu Council of Elders passes the power to formulate new rules, King Mian must also obey it, and he also has the power and responsibility to supervise King Mian."
"Then what is the difference between it and Yin Erfalang's ruling advisory group?" Chateau asked again.
"The difference is very big. Yin Erfalang's ruling advisory group is in charge of almost everything in Yin Erfalang's country. The crown prince only has the power of supervision, while the Yerlan Gaoshu Council of Elders can only formulate new rules and supervise the crown prince as the supervised
The crown prince of Ye Erlan is the one who holds most of the real power."
"I see."
Xia Duo understood everything at once. Ye Erlan wanted to integrate all the forces in the country, and centralization was almost an inevitable choice. However, at first, King Helian wanted to concentrate all the power in his own hands in the name of the advisory group. Later, because of Sri Lanka
Ruwend's defeat in the war forced him to compromise, but even so, Helion's power still far exceeded that of King Yin Erfalang.
But no matter what, Erlan finally started the process of centralization. From this perspective, the defeat of Sluvende War may not be a bad thing for them.
Of course, for Xia Duo, this may not be a good thing.
Thinking about it, the Seven Towers would also feel huge pressure. Before, Netheril had many difficult-to-ease interest disputes with Ellan, but it maintained relatively good opportunities with some high-ranking families in Ellan.
After all, Ye Erlan's interests are not equal to the interests of the upper-ranking family, and the collective interests of the upper-ranking families are not necessarily equal to the interests of a certain family.
But once the centralization of power is completed, it will be difficult for the upper-ranking families of Ellan to have any public interest in Netheril, and it will all be done by the officials of Ellan.
As for privately, due to the centralization of power, the Erlan side will inevitably impose restrictions and even punishments on this. Compared with the past, the price is much higher.
But compared to the changes in Yeerlan, Shado is more worried about whether the Seven Towers will be stimulated by this and whether there will be any centralization reforms in Netheril.
Although this is indeed beneficial to Netheril as a whole in the long run, Shado does not agree with Netheril much. Once the Seven Towers implement centralized reforms, where will the Great Xia Kingdom go?
Even though Shado now has a floating city, the floating city is not omnipotent. The reason why Shado’s floating city can act as a deterrent is largely because it belongs to Netheril. If not, Ye Erlan
I'm afraid the first one will jump out and cause trouble for him.
