Chapter 500 Magic is the primary productive force

Under the diffuse sunlight, the small pond in the forest glows with blue water.

This is an open space, covering a huge area, centered on a small pond in the middle, spreading in all directions.At the edge of the clearing, the number of trees gradually increased. If you look down from a very high altitude, you can see that this is a land surrounded by forests.On the ground where the open space transitions to the dense forest, it can be seen that the soil is gradually changing from black red to earthy brown—the black red soil may not be suitable for the growth of these trees, which is why the open space is formed here.

A small river stretched out from the dense forest in the north, connected to the pond, and then flowed south along the pond.Along the creek and pond, there are many yellow flowers, and in other places in the clearing, there are shrubs and lush grasses as tall as a person.And on the edge of the small pond in the center, there is a stone tablet.

The stele was newly erected at first glance. It looked very new, without any dust on it, and a lot of stone chips could be seen in the dents on the stele. Some of the dents were disconnected, and some were connected together. Unknown patterns are formed one by one, and they have been painted firmly with black unknown paint.

If there is a mage with a deep knowledge of ancient languages ​​here, he will be able to recognize the three ancient languages.

Constellation Sea.

The stele is not the only trace of human activity in the clearing.

The clearing is centered on the pond, and a large number of yellow flowers have been uprooted, replaced by wooden houses.Around these houses, there are a large number of human beings active: among them, those wearing incomplete armor are moving wood one by one, putting them on the nearby open space, and stacking them in piles for building houses. Some of those in civilian attire are also helping to carry logs, but most of them are clearing and uprooting the bushes in the surrounding open space; further away, at the junction of the open space and the dense forest, soldiers, A confluence of civilians and slaves, they are struggling to cut down the trees, and after they are cut down, they will be carried back...

As far as the eyes could see, most of the people were busy with their own affairs, men, women and children all went to battle, no one was slack, but there were a few idlers in an open space by the pond.

"... Absolutely not!"

Xiu said loudly to the people in front of him: "Magic is the noblest and most powerful force in this world, how can you let me waste my magic power on these things?! If my teacher finds out about this, he will definitely Come down from heaven in rage and rebuke me severely!"

In front of him was Norman, looking at him with a smile on his face.

It has been two days since Norman retreated two groups of aliens by chance last time.

Norman asked Monroe and the others to compete with Atrixia, and it turned out that none of them were Atrixia's opponents. Atrimisia can also learn the moves they learned, and they are more comprehensive than them.In terms of strength and speed, although Atrimisia does not have the help of a three-dimensional magic circle and potions, her strength is only stronger than Monroe and the others.

Not as good as anything, Monroe and the others are naturally no match for Atrimisia.

Monroe and the others failed cleanly, and the thoughts of those people finally fell to the ground. They began to realize that it was a bit dangerous to go to Higham. Coupled with Norman's previous explanation and safety comfort, In the end, everyone agreed with Norman's decision-mainly Demps and Jacob.

Now that we are already safe here, there is really no need to take the risk of the unknown, and safety comes first.

When the several minds of the team agree, it is natural that what they say is what they say. Why do they need to ask for the opinions of these people?
Then the team came here under the guidance of Norman.

This place was actually found by the Templar Knights, and the reason why they chose this place as their next living base was also determined after comprehensive consideration of various factors such as terrain, safety, and development space.Norman is too specific to understand, just listen to them.

And now that they have decided to settle here, they need to re-plan what they should do next.

Lodging is not just playing house, not just finding a place, they need to consider many factors, the first is safety.

Now that they have decided to turn this place into their long-term residence, safety is obviously the first consideration. This requires careful planning of the orientation of the camp building, the type of city defense measures, location selection and construction, and the distribution and dispatch of defense forces, etc. Wait.

Second, there is the aspect of survival.

People have to eat when they are alive. If they plan to live here, the food problem is the key problem that must be solved first besides safety.

Because everyone fled with all their family property and had ample reserves, food is not in danger for a while. In addition, they can dig some wild vegetables from the surrounding forests and hunt some animals. However, this is not a long-term solution after all. There must be sustainable food, so many civilians have already started farming - many farmers have already figured out that they will continue to farm for a living after arriving in Higham, so there is no shortage of seeds.

But it is only now that the seeds are sown, and it will take a long time to reap the harvest. Will their food be able to last until then?This is another problem.

After that, there are a series of cumbersome problems, such as housing problems, clothing problems, etc., and even political problems! ——People's hearts are really greedy and stupid. Once he stabilized temporarily, Dempsey seemed to be a little ready to move. In the past two days, he emphasized his "former baron" status from time to time.

These problems are all problems that need to be solved urgently in front of Norman. If I were to see these problems by myself, I am afraid that my head will be big.Fortunately, Norman had the help of the Knights Templar, and many problems were quickly and well resolved.

For example, the problem of city defense.

The Knights Templar directly drew a detailed camp construction map, and let Norman remember it in the way that Norman could watch the live broadcast room in the body.

The construction plan of the camp was extremely detailed, even down to the centimeter level. Norman only needed to tell them to do it.

For example, in terms of food cultivation, although the Knights Templar cannot get in touch with this world, they have given a series of detailed plans.Under the guidance of these plans, Norman can use his limited resources to detect some general data of these soils, analyze the compatibility of the food seeds of the civilians with the soil, and they even gave some suggestions such as artificial pollination, Grafting and other preparatory plans that Norman, an experienced purebred farmer, has never heard of. If these plans are successful, the powerful help they can produce for farming will even surprise an indigenous farmer in this world. Fall - if what the Templars say is true.

And so on, the Knights Templar have put forward some opinions on the specific issues faced by Norman and the others, but no matter what the issue is, the Knights Templar likes to talk about magic.

"...Actually, in terms of security, these defensive measures are just helpless. They can only play an auxiliary role in security. If you really want to have strong security, there is nothing better than building a strong army. , Of course, in this army, mages are also indispensable."

"...In terms of housing choices, wooden houses are really just a second-best choice. Considering their current productivity, the best choice is stone houses. If all the houses in the camp are like noble castles, It is also connected together, which is more effective than those city defense measures to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, and mages are undoubtedly good at building such houses. Stone wall and similar spells can easily generate stones, change The terrain, and more importantly, such construction does not require a long time, if controlled properly, one day is more than enough, and building a castle will be very easy and fast.”

"... It is unnecessary to waste a lot of manpower on growing food. In the earth world, the first leap forward of human beings is to use industrialization to liberate a lot of manpower from heavy agriculture. , so that they can do more and more valuable things, and it is also feasible to put them here. Spells can produce magic bread and magic biscuits. It is estimated that only one person is needed to bear the food for all of you here, and all the manpower that would have been wasted on food cultivation can be freed to do other more valuable things."

……

And so on, Lancelot said a lot, and finally said to Norman earnestly: "So, magic is the primary productive force."

Although he felt that Lancelot was annoying, and this oblique way of speaking was a waste of time, but after listening to Lancelot's series of ideas, he also fell into deep thinking, and finally agreed very much.

The mages in this world that Norman came into contact with have always been pursuing the ultimate powerful power, the original mage, and the forbidden curse, but Norman, who has experienced everything, discovered that perhaps the real power is hidden in some seemingly insignificant things. among things.

For example, the spell that Lancelot mentioned, magic bread.

As a veteran farmer for more than ten years, he deeply knows how much time and labor cost it takes to grow food, and a large number of people are tied to the land, but he has to do it, because if no one grows food, human beings Not to mention extinction, at least the population will be greatly reduced.

And if mages are willing to replace farmers and become the social role of providing food, everything will be different.

A mage only needs to work for a very short time every day to provide a large amount of food. The higher the level of the mage, the more food he can provide.At that time, a large number of people will be liberated from the land, and they can devote their time and manpower to other areas, such as learning how to fight, such as learning some handicrafts, such as blacksmithing, or even such as , also to become a mage...

If this is really done, the territory will undergo earth-shaking changes: the number of handicraftsmen there will increase, handicraft technology will develop rapidly, and quantitative changes will catalyze qualitative changes, and some handicrafts may appear. The local handicraft industry develops; the number of fighters there will increase, their training time will also be lengthened, the combat effectiveness and number will increase, and the entire army will become stronger; the number of mages there will also be improved to a certain extent, although making magic bread will It consumes some of their time, but after liberating people from the land, there is a high probability that new mages will emerge...

But unfortunately, mages are so rare, and their status is so noble, no one would ask and dare to ask a mage to work every day to make magic bread.

First of all, the mage himself would not agree, he would think it was a great humiliation, and he would immediately throw a fireball to turn that bold guy into a roast suckling pig.Secondly, to take a step back, even if the mage is willing, the world will not agree. The mages in the kingdom and the church will regard the person who dares to make this request as the public enemy of the mage, and will not give up until he kills him!
The power of a mage has made this world possible, but at the same time it has also shackled it.

If you can leave everything behind and look back, you will find that in the first course of becoming a mage, the first sentence teachers teach students is always "wisdom is the real power of a mage", but all mages will gradually Forget this sentence and get lost in the pursuit of great power.

So did Norman.

He has also been constantly pursuing powerful power, forbidden spells, and infinite mana, but after listening to Lancelot's strange thinking at this moment, he realized that he had long forgotten the source of the mage's power, and finally understood What is the real power.

What about the Scourge of the Undead?What about the Three Thousand Worlds?These terrifying powers that are extremely powerful in the eyes of the world, and the forbidden curse that makes all mages excited and trembling, can only affect a moment and a place.

On the contrary, magic bread, this low-level spell that many mages know, is the spell that can really change the world upside down.

Under the correct use method, its effect has far surpassed those so-called forbidden curses or even god-level forbidden curses that people know.

It is not like those so-called powerful forces that only affect a moment and a place, it will affect the whole world, and affect all time after that!
And all it needs is a little change in thinking, and the wisdom and effort to prepare for it.

The power of a mage really lies in his wisdom.

And the spell of "Magic Bread" is truly well-deserved,
God level forbidden curse.
