Chapter 2699: Exporting Talent to Society

Xia Duo did not spend long visiting the streetlamp renovation site; after all, he came from Earth, where the system of division of labor is extremely developed, and he had even undergone advanced training in modern magic within the Red Heart Alliance.

As long as he had seen something, he could basically understand it; it was merely a matter of adapting to local conditions. Now that he had seen the construction process of Vidas Workshop, he could be considered to have a rough understanding of Evereska's current engineering level.

If this could be introduced to Daxia Territory, it would definitely save the territory a great deal of time spent on preliminary exploration.

However, there was no need to rush this matter. Currently, the territory did not yet have a private magical construction team; introducing the Elves' mature system too early would not be conducive to the formation of local characteristics. It would be better to wait a while.

Xia Duo felt it would be soon enough to consider it at least after the New Wind Art Exhibition, jointly held by Daxia Territory and Evereska, had concluded. Moreover, taking advantage of this period, the Tower of Time could also release some of its surplus talent to the territory.

Right now, the territory happened to be working on the Linshui Village renovation project, which was an excellent opportunity for the magical talent who had just returned to the territory to make their debut.

While it was called the Linshui Village renovation, it was actually a comprehensive upgrade. As early as when Laidun was designing the plan, Xia Duo had proposed the idea of using this opportunity to promote the Magic Civilianization.

That was indeed how it was being done in practice, but the current number of Magic Affairs Officers or new Mages awaiting employment in the territory was clearly insufficient to carry out a full-scale magical renovation of Linshui Village.

It could only be done step by step.

And now, the speed at which the Tower of Time released surplus talent to the territory could be slowed down slightly, first building Linshui Village—the future Linshui Town—into a model of a human magical society.

Xia Duo intended to build Linshui Town into a benchmark for magical towns in Netheril and even the entire Northland, so that when people talked about magical towns in the future, they would immediately think of the Daxia Mode and the Linshui Mode.

……

He had long since prepared his response; it was nothing more than restating what had happened previously in Meteier City.

Of course, Xia Duo also believed that some of the Evereska upper echelon were determined to change, such as Elder Laruian, whom he was relatively familiar with, but to say that all of the Evereska upper echelon were wholeheartedly seeking benefits for the people...

From this position, the vacant land provided by the Council of Elders was indeed close to the Sword Academy; of course, that was only in terms of spatial distance.

Under such circumstances, even if Evereska introduced the Great Xia Code, it might ultimately only serve to make such restrictions even more stringent rather than relaxing them.

On a piece of vacant land to the north between the Magic Academy and the Combat Academy, Xia Duo looked up at the Tartat Academy of Swordsmanship, located on the Seventh Layer of the city of Evereska, diagonally above him.

When he came here, he did not have Aoruipusi follow him; instead, he had the other party contact the Elf designers who had previously responded, inviting them to Evereska for an interview. Once hired, they could immediately form a design team on the spot.

Such a situation made Xia Duo think of the apprentices at the Tower of Time; the vast majority were just like this, without the slightest bit of slack, all giving their utmost to seize the opportunity to change their fate.

The "other places" here did not just refer to places outside of Linshui Village in Daxia Territory, but also to other places in Netheril!

Actually, seeing this, the Combat Academy, Xia Duo felt there was no need to go anymore. The students of the Combat Academy might have slightly stronger backgrounds than those of the Magic Academy, but in the end, they still could not compare to the true second generation.

The Elves who could come up with this kind of mode were fully worthy of the title "vampire."

Moreover, through observation, Xia Duo discovered that the Magic Academy's teaching process was very likely just taking outside orders, collecting tuition from students while simultaneously getting free labor from them.

After all, one could not just use the name of Elf designers and let a bunch of freeloaders in!

……

Such a possibility would likely not even exist in a dream.

This was obviously impossible. Xia Duo himself was not skilled in architectural design; he truly needed Elf designers to turn his ideas into practical plans and to be able to successfully coordinate with the Elf construction teams.

Sure enough, technical schools—teaching through practice is the same everywhere.

It was said that the Northland Alliance Demon Descendant Intelligence Research Lab wanted to invite him over for tea and, incidentally, to give a brief report on his recent trip to Yierlan.

Next would be the expansion of the Daxia Order represented by this mode.

However, he did not immediately head to the Alliance Headquarters, but instead followed his previous plan to visit the Magic Academy and the Combat Academy first.

And in the process, summarize the experience in all aspects, so that when other places undergo upgrades and renovations, there would be a good case study for reference.

Of course, since it was a report, and he was not a formal employee of the Northland Alliance, he might also receive his salary during this visit.

However, there were also means of transportation in the city that could fly, such as the Flying Disk that Xia Duo could summon now, but the Permission Level possessed by different flying tools varied.

The inertia of the past was too great; Xia Duo was not optimistic about the reforms in Evereska, but he still hoped from the bottom of his heart that Evereska could change.

And it was blocked from the outside just a few streets away.

To be honest, Xia Duo was quite curious about how much salary he would get for this field investigation!

After looking at the environment around the vacant land, Xia Duo wanted to visit the Magic Academy and Combat Academy nearby to see the most Reality of the ordinary Elf students' lives inside, but he unexpectedly received a Sending from Dumu.

But even so, the students in the Magic Academy did not feel dissatisfied; instead, they gave their all to study and practice, not wanting to let go of any opportunity.

South of the city.

Although Xia Duo was confident that those dozen or so designers would mostly not be opposed to accepting human command, the interview stage could still not be skipped. Besides attitude, professional ability was also a key point Xia Duo would be examining.

Like the land where Xia Duo was standing, to the south, there was a Magic Academy and a Combat Academy; even if the students inside walked the Xuan Kong Budao to get close to the Sword Academy on the upper level, they would almost 100% be blocked outside.

……

Leaving the streetlamp renovation project site, Xia Duo crossed a tributary of the Manda Water System in the city of Evereska and arrived at the Academy District in the south of the city.

If one actually wanted to go over, unless one flew directly, one would have to take a very long detour!

They also needed such an opportunity to change their fate.

Most flying tools could not fly directly into the interior of the Sword Academy; at the same time, most Evereska residents did not have the Permission Level to summon flying tools.

With the help of the Golden Maple Family's Badge, he easily mixed into the Magic Academy. The interior had a significant difference from the academy style he had imagined; it did not look like an academy, but more like a large workshop.

So this definitely required a team capable of doing real work, not freeloaders who were just hanging around for a name.

Xia Duo did not think much and immediately agreed. He had originally thought he would be sought out by the Northland Alliance as soon as he returned to Evereska, but he did not expect it to be two days later.

And Evereska, obviously like most other Elf cities, also prohibited flying within the city. It was not that one could not fly, but that one could not fly more than one foot above the ground; one could only fly close to the ground.
