Chapter 2818: Full Usability

Next, Xia Duo had Laidun try the other primitive Order Force spells discovered earlier, and none of them caused any accidents either.

"Have someone call Kaide, Jiake, and the others over, and let them try it too."

In truth, it would be more efficient for Xia Duo to send the messages himself than for Laidun to send people, but unless it was necessary or an emergency, he still followed standard procedures to facilitate Laidun's daily exercise of authority.

Otherwise, if he went directly to the heads of the various departments in the Territory every time, what use would Laidun have as an Executive?

Although it was not a summons via Sending, the Government Hall had a relatively convenient summoning process; a Clerk and a Messenger were always seated in a small cubicle outside Laidun's office.

Furthermore, the heads of the various departments in the Territory all had their own offices in the Government Hall and spent most of their time there, so the Messenger could notify the other party's Clerk and have them gathered quickly.

Only Jibu from the Security Office and the two Grand Justices from the Court were not in the Government Hall and required a few extra steps to call, but since the Security Office and the Court were right next to the Government Hall, it actually did not take long.

However, while Laidun was sending people to fetch Kaide, Jiake, and the other department heads of the Territory, Xia Duo suddenly thought that while it might not be necessary for ordinary people in Daxia Territory to purchase Communication Magic Tools, it was still necessary for public officials to be equipped with one.

Even if they lacked spellcasting ability, the Activator scheme could be used; such Communication Magic Tools might not be portable, but keeping them in the office would be the same.

Of course, the ideal solution would be to discover an Order Spell of the communication type, so that even special people could not use it easily.

The one who spoke up this time was not Jibu, who had started learning first, but Kaide, who had arrived last. Xia Duo confirmed that Kaide had indeed successfully activated the Protective Spiritual Light; he was also somewhat curious about this, as he was both an Order Master and a Spellcaster.

After Jiake came Yanzhenjing; Yanzhenjing was also an Adventurer by background and knew how to use Magic Scrolls, so learning to use Order Spells after Jiake was still considered fast.

Kaide caught his breath while answering, "My Lord, the situation at the Temporary Camp is quite stable. Just today, several hundred new residents from the Tianshui Three Planes passed the naturalization examination."

Just as Xia Duo was deep in thought, Jibu and Jiefu arrived. Xia Duo directly granted them 【Protective Spiritual Light】, then had Laidun explain it to them and guide them in learning how to use the spell.

"I had a vague feeling. I was just thinking about how to activate it, but I didn't actually do it. I think that might be the reason why I couldn't truly activate it."

Xia Duo was uneasy and wanted to wait until Jibu and the others had all learned it before leaving, and also to wait for Kaide.

"My Lord, I have learned it too!"

It was Laidun who explained for Kaide. Xia Duo nodded to show his understanding; in fact, he did not blame Kaide, and he actually quite admired this approach of Kaide's.

His own experience was difficult to apply to pure ordinary people like Kaide and Yanzhenjing.

Yanzhenjing now ate and lived at the Temporary Camp, which counted as being on the front lines, and Xia Duo naturally admired this very much.

But even so, learning to activate Order Spells was far simpler than learning to use Magic Scrolls or learning spellcasting; the latter two almost always required years of training to master, but learning to activate an Order Spell might only take a day.

"Not bad, not bad."

Before long, Kaide, with steam rising from his head, pushed open the main door of Laidun's office. This scene made Xia Duo's impression of Kaide even better; it showed that Kaide had rushed over in person rather than having someone else bring him back.

……

After Yanzhenjing learned it, the remaining three were pure ordinary people who had neither spellcasting experience nor had learned how to use Magic Items.

Therefore, the experience of Kaide, the first pure ordinary person to learn to use an Order Spell, was even more precious, so Xia Duo immediately asked Kaide to share his experience.

For the few people who came earlier, Xia Duo had only granted the 【Protective Spiritual Light】 and let Laidun explain it to them. This time, when Kaide arrived, Xia Duo did briefly inquire about the situation at the Temporary Camp.

……

"Only Yanzhenjing has not arrived."

And that Jiake could learn it so quickly probably had to do with his experience as an Adventurer and having learned to use Magic Scrolls. If one had neither spellcasting experience nor had learned to use Magic Scrolls, it might be a little more troublesome.

Yanzhenjing had also been tempered over these years; from being unable to speak clearly at the beginning to being able to talk eloquently in front of him now, Xia Duo was still very gratified by this.

A moment later, Jiake and the two Grand Justices arrived. Xia Duo likewise granted 【Protective Spiritual Light】, followed by Lawrence of the Territory Culture and Education Department, the Druid Yatewude, and Exploration Director Yanzhenjing.

Just as Laidun was explaining the 【Protective Spiritual Light】 Order Spell to Kaide, Jiake suddenly let out a shout, "I feel like I've succeeded!"

Xia Duo turned his head to look, and sure enough, Jiake was shrouded in a layer of 【Protective Spiritual Light】. Xia Duo immediately had a measure of the situation in his heart; Laidun and the two Grand Justices were all considered Priests and had spellcasting experience, so naturally, they were able to learn to use Order Spells immediately.

A flash of excitement crossed Kaide's eyes as he hurriedly said, "My Lord, it is like this: at first, I wasn't sure how this spell existed, but I had a feeling it was already there, and then I just thought desperately in my mind—activate, it must activate, and then I felt it succeed."

Even ordinary people with absolutely no spellcasting experience could learn it very quickly!

"Then what about Jibu? How did you think about it? Could you feel the existence of the spell?"

……

It was also necessary to organize legal outreach, language teaching, and even skills training. Personnel from other departments in the Territory also participated and cooperated in this, but the Settlement Department was responsible for the overall control of the direction.

Rather than calling it "using," it was more like learning to activate it under authorized conditions, just like using a Magic Scroll.

Bicycles could carry people. Kaide's physique was not robust, so sitting on someone else's bike was certainly easier than riding over himself; for an ordinary person, the distance from the Temporary Camp to the Government Hall was truly not close.

Granting 【Protective Spiritual Light】 did not need to be done in person, but among those who had already arrived in Laidun's office, apart from the few with spellcasting experience, no one else had been able to activate the 【Protective Spiritual Light】.

But Xia Duo still waited patiently; the experience of ordinary people was very important to him, and he also believed that the remaining three people would be able to learn it very quickly.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

This was only the case for the first contact; once they received authorization for new Order Spells in the future, they would immediately know how to use them.

Those from the Tianshui Three Planes were also Netherese, so there were no obstacles in terms of language. As long as they learned the Territory's laws and regulations and familiarized themselves with the Territory's living habits, it was very easy to pass the naturalization examination.

After Jibu compared his experience with Kaide's and concluded the reason he had failed, a layer of Protective Spiritual Light also shrouded his body the next moment.

"Kaide usually works at the Temporary Camp in the north, so he might be a little late, but with a Bicycle, it should be fast."

Seeing this, Xia Duo was lost in thought. It now seemed that the key to activating Order Spells was the thought of daring to try. Once that layer of window paper was pierced, it really had no difficulty at all.

Immediately following, Jiefu also figured it out and quickly activated the Protective Spiritual Light.

Since the main business today was actually testing Order Spells, Xia Duo did not chat too much with Kaide; he quickly granted him 【Protective Spiritual Light】 and then likewise had Laidun explain it to him.

Kaide was in charge of the Territory's Settlement Department. Now that over half of the Territory's population consisted of new residents who had not yet been naturalized, settlement was, of course, not as simple as just finding them a temporary place to live.
