Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2065 Great Zhou Efficiency
In the end, he ended up taking in an elf student, something Zhou Xu hadn't expected.

However, he didn't care. Zhou Xu was not stingy with his experience, not to mention that the mages of their Great Zhou Mage Group had basically all received his guidance.

According to this logic, they can basically all be considered half of my students.

If another student comes now, it won't affect him much.

Now that he had received Zhou Xu's affirmation, Borgner could not hide his joy and eagerly began to ask Zhou Xu to answer his questions.

Zhou Xu didn't seem to mind, and the two quickly got into the zone.

Bogner has been stuck in a bottleneck for quite some time now, and the accumulated problems are naturally numerous.

Zhou Xu could easily answer some common questions about cultivation and the control of spells, while some questions revolved around specific mantras and spells.

Even Zhou Xu would have to study magic before he could give an answer, but it wouldn't be too difficult for him anyway.

Elvish and their chants are indeed not the same language, but they are essentially the same thing.

Zhou Xu had Bogner cast a spell directly, while he used his perception to surround the other party throughout the process, so that no matter where there was a problem, it could not escape his perception.

The conversation lasted from day to night, but Bogner showed no sign of stopping.

During this time, Wright glanced at Zhou Xu, asking if they should get rid of the kid first.

Zhou Xu indicated that it wasn't necessary. He had already promised, so he would naturally do his best to fulfill his promise. In any case, he had basically completed all the tasks he needed to do in the Elf Forest.

The main task now is to wait for Elder Roth to complete the deployment of the contract array. In the meantime, giving some pointers to Bogner is just a convenient thing for him.

During this process, relevant departments in the new district sent him some documents that required his approval.

Zhou Xu remained calm, after all, Bogner wasn't asking questions the whole time, and he didn't need to answer Bogner's questions non-stop.

After Zhou Xu provided answers to some questions, Borgner himself needed to verify them according to Zhou Xu's explanations.

While Borgner was verifying each report, Zhou Xushun reviewed the submitted reports with remarkable ease, leaving Wright, who was accompanying him, completely impressed.

Zhou Xu's previous work routine involved sleeping and resting every day.

That's because he spent the afternoon practicing and studying mantras, which would significantly deplete his energy. To recover quickly, he needed to rest.

He is only instructing Bogner on his cultivation; he is not cultivating himself.

There was no physical depletion involved. Given his stamina as a Nascent Soul cultivator, even if he didn't sleep for ten days or half a month, let alone a few nights, it wouldn't affect his condition.

This state lasted for almost two days and two nights. In the end, Borgna kept asking questions and verifying, but in the process, he consumed too much magic power and could not hold on any longer. He had to go back to rest, and the matter was temporarily brought to an end.

"Your Majesty has truly gone to great lengths this time, guiding this child in his cultivation."

Even Wright thought it was a bit inappropriate to keep the person around for two days and two nights asking for advice.

Zhou Xu, however, had no complaints about this; quite the opposite, in fact…

"It's alright, as long as they're eager to learn. I really like kids who are ambitious."

"..."

For some reason, Wright felt that Zhou Xu had subtly insulted him.

The main reason was that he had also developed a sense of responsibility that he could hardly be called diligent... He stretched his muscles and bones, glanced out the window, and saw that it was almost dawn. Zhou Xu didn't plan to take a nap. After having a casual breakfast with Wright, he decided to go and see how Elder Roth was doing.

"It's only been two days, it's definitely not done yet."

In Wright's opinion, there was no need to even look at it now. Didn't he know how efficient the elves were?

Zhou Xu was well aware of the efficiency of the elves, but he couldn't possibly follow their example.

So, when he left the Wood Elf village earlier, he informed John and asked them to assist Elder Roth in setting up the contract array.

It means they should stop dawdling and speed things up.

If the contract array isn't ready by the time he goes there, he'll either have to lend a hand personally or come back another time.

John, who had just received the news shortly after Zhou Xu arrived, understood Zhou Xu's purpose and quickly came over to report the situation.

"Your Majesty, the contract array is almost ready and should be completed in another half day."

"That's right. While speeding up the process, we must not be careless to avoid making mistakes."

"Yes!"

The deployment of contract arrays, barriers, or restrictions depends mainly on two aspects: the materials used for the array and the person who deploys it.

As for materials, the elves have a good foundation; they basically have everything readily available, so there's no need to invest time in preparation.

The process of setting up the formation is somewhat similar to enchanting enchanted equipment, except that it continuously consumes mana.

In this area, including John and Sion, there are a total of three Saint-level mages to cover the shortfall. If that's still not enough, there are many Transcendent-level mages in the Wood Elf Mage Corps who can be used to make up the numbers.

If both problems can be easily solved, the efficiency can't be low. The specific level depends on how many hours they can work a day.

John and Sain didn't need to force Elder Roth to work. Once they knew how to deploy the contract array, they didn't care what Elder Roth was doing; they just needed to focus on their own tasks.

In carrying out his mission, John undoubtedly demonstrated his efficiency, which can be described as that of a master of efficiency.

During this time, probably influenced by John and the others' diligence, Elder Roth himself felt embarrassed to slack off and simply put in a lot of effort, managing to complete the contract array to ninety percent in a short period of time.

Zhou Xu was quite satisfied with John and his team's efficiency.

With the remaining half-day, Zhou Xu didn't plan to wander around anymore. He simply found a place to sit in the wood elf village, closed his eyes, and took a short nap, while also basking in the sun for a while.

Winter in this elven forest isn't particularly cold; the sunlight on his skin is quite comforting, making it a rare moment of leisure for him.

Knowing that His Majesty was waiting there, John and his men acted even faster, managing to set up the contract array before noon.

Without any hesitation, they immediately began the contract ceremony.

The entire contract process was not complicated, and the contract array began to operate.

Bathed in the radiance emanating from the contract array, the cluster of light within the ancient tree of life, where a tree spirit was being nurtured, appeared before Zhou Xu's eyes.

Zhou Xu could clearly sense that within this ball of light, a special life was gradually taking shape.

At this moment, this special life form did not yet possess a clear consciousness, yet it was already bound by the contract and connected to itself.
