Facts have proved that Xia Duo still wanted to keep it simple. Although the people's willingness to have children has increased since the completion of the myth lock, there is still a long way to go before the universal birth he wants to see.
This made him a little discouraged. It can be said that he has done all the efforts he can, including the cultivation of new national ideals and trends, but it is difficult for these to be effective in a short period of time.
Perhaps after the next generation, people's various concepts will gradually become closer to humans. As for now, no matter how the environment and system change, it is difficult for the psychology of these pure-blood elves to change qualitatively.
A month later, Xia Duo counted the number of pregnant elves, but it only increased by more than thirty than before. Compared with the total number of nearly one hundred thousand, the ratio was too low.
And this also forced him to start having some crooked thoughts.
…
On this day, after the ruling council meeting of the Government Affairs Council, Sha Duo called Elder Maosh down who was about to leave, but he still found it difficult to speak.
Under Ma'osh's strange eyes, Xia Duo gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "Elder Ma'osh, I have a plan that I would like to ask you for your help and reference."
"Chief, what's the plan? Why didn't you tell it at the meeting just now and let everyone discuss it together?" Maosh asked curiously.
"This plan is not well suited for public discussion."
Xia Duo said this, then walked to the door, closed it, and cast a spell to disrupt the invisible energy in the room. Then he lowered his voice and spoke slowly:
"Elder, I am going to cast a spell to promote fertility within the territory."
"Spell to promote fertility?"
Maosh was stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking about a spell to promote fertility, and then he realized that this was because the leader was dissatisfied with the birth rate of the people and wanted to intervene through some means. This was simply——
Heresy!
Maoush had never heard of a king or leader in history who had done such a despicable thing, but now his leader seemed to be preparing to do it. For a moment, Maoush's mind went completely blank, and he didn't know what to do.
What to say.
"Elder, do you think this is feasible?"
"No!"
Maosh subconsciously exclaimed, and then broke into a cold sweat. Although the leader had changed dramatically since the second bloodline uprising, after spending so long together, he was somewhat sure of the leader's changes.
He knew that if the leader asked him questions this time, he would most likely have made corresponding preparations, and might even have already started to do so.
"Chief, please don't do this! The people are not puppets we can control at will, but our equal compatriots. If we do this, what will be the difference between us and the high elves on Everesca's side?"
"Well, what the elder said makes sense."
Xia Duo knew that he was too impatient. After all, he couldn't really stay here for a thousand years, but he was unwilling to give up this plan completely.
And as Maosh said, if you use magic to control the people at will, it will lose the light. At this moment, Xia Duo's mind changed quickly and he came up with a trick again:
"Then if I prepare some amulets that can promote fertility and let the people collect them on their own, does the elder think it's feasible?"
"Amulet? Let the people collect it on their own?"
Maosh was sure that Shado had a firm belief in increasing the population, and came up with a way to use a talisman, which would make it difficult for him to directly oppose it, so he also gave the bottom line:
"Please disclose the specific effects of the amulet to the public and do not conceal it deliberately."
"Of course."
Xia Duo agreed without hesitation. In order to open such a window, he even proposed to demolish the entire roof. Although he did have plans to demolish the roof, there was nothing wrong with being able to open a window now.
If it's not enough, it's not impossible to consider removing the roof.
The only problem now is that if we use the original plan and directly use magic to catalyze people's desire for fertility on a large scale, this is actually very simple.
Instead, what is the plan to take a step back now, a talisman to promote fertility? How to design this?
The former spell can be done at night when people are resting, which is also the best time for natural reproduction. But as for the amulet, people should carry it with them or put it at home. Do they have to be in heat all the time?
This is obviously unrealistic and outrageous.
"Elder, do you think how to implement this talisman to promote fertility?"
"You ask me this, but I can't answer you."
Maosh sighed and persuaded Xia Duo again, "Chief, I don't know what you foresee during the bloodline uprising, but population growth also needs to comply with the laws of nature. Now, now -"
"Elder, stop talking. I understand your considerations, but I also have my own plan. Let's discuss it!"
Now that he has temporarily given up using magic to interfere with people's fertility desires on a large scale, Sha Duo does not mind raising a public discussion. Judging from Maosh's attitude just now, he should be stuck above the bottom line of several elders.
It should be possible to indirectly affect fertility through magic items that people actively choose.
However, the ruling parliament holds public deliberations only once every three days, which is extremely frequent for a new government that is only over 100,000 years old.
Although Sha Duo, as the leader, could convene a meeting at any time, he planned to ask Maosh to ventilate several elders in advance to give them some time to mentally prepare.
During this period, it would be best for him to complete the design of the talisman and present it at the meeting so that it can be promoted as quickly as possible.
…
In the next few days, although it was not the time for the ruling meeting to be held, Xia Duo was still visited by several elders in private to discuss issues related to promoting fertility.
He had already given in a step, but he was unwilling to give in on the last step no matter what. With his persistence and persuasion, several elders agreed to his plan.
Now all that remains is to complete the design of the amulet and go through the formality of the public discussion.
…
Research Institute.
Xia Duowo has been in the laboratory for two days and two nights. During this period, except when a few elders came over, he rested for a while. At other times, he was either thinking about the design of the talisman or testing related spell elements.
It wasn't until the third day, just before the start of the ruling council, that he took out a preliminary sample. This kind of amulet was named [Amulet of Many Sons] by him.
The name is no longer [Fertility Talisman] or [Desire Talisman] as originally planned, which would have revealed the purpose nakedly at first glance, which was not good. Now this one is closer to a blessing and seems more subtle.
The function is not as direct as an aphrodisiac spell, but it detects the surrounding auras of desire. If a matching aura appears, it means that there is a high probability that the couple is in love, so the amulet will further stimulate their desire.
It's like a fun gadget.
Of course, in order to promote fertility more efficiently, the detection sensitivity of the [Multiple Child Talisman] is set relatively high. As long as the loving couple has a little desire, it will be detected, but subsequent stimulation of desire will not affect their rationality.
In other words, Xia Duo only provides an opportunity for people to communicate with each other at a higher frequency. If they are rational enough, they can still control it.
