Chapter 1456 Return to the Territory and Deprive the Holy Power

After listening to Brod's explanation, Chateau felt calm. There is a gap between theory and reality. It was not applicable before, but it became applicable with new materials. It was not surprising.

Theoretically, if David's string can have the properties of a real magic network string, then Chateau's first version of the design, which solves a few design principle problems, should be the most perfect.

It is precisely because of the gap with reality that it needs constant adjustment and application.

After listening to Brod's explanation, Iolum looked happy at first, then sighed softly and said: "Then we have to go back to the beginning."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. It was not that they were worried about duplication of work. After all, this was progress and there was nothing to worry about. It was just this seemingly endless progress that made people feel heavy.

Progress is never simple, it requires investment of time, manpower, money, and perseverance.

In civilized competition, for one's own side, failure to make continuous progress means regression. At this moment, Xia Duo felt a heavy responsibility.

…

Soon the experiment began.

The process was the same as before. It was nothing more than recording data, collecting arcane energy, and processing the tail. There were three great arcanists present, and there were no accidents during the process.

And because it was an experiment with an old material device, and new materials were to be replaced next, the summary of the experiment seemed a bit too sloppy compared to before.

Iolum was talking almost the whole time, and others were listening. There was very little interaction, and it ended in a short time.

The next step is to prepare local simulation test experiments for new devices based on new materials. There is already a relatively mature experimental process in this area.

Because he was leading the material project team, Sha Duo was not responsible for much in the simulation test experiment, Brod was mainly responsible for it. During this period, he also found time to return to the southern border.

…

At this time, nearly a month has passed since the people of the Gray Eagle tribe joined the territory, but the new people from the Gray Eagle tribe still have not been able to get their own houses.

Most people can still only live in tents in the two squares of Codex and Altar. Fortunately, they brought many simple tents with them when they moved, and with the addition of those purchased by Shado from Severton, they will be satisfied.

Although the current temperature has not dropped below freezing, most of the working groups in the Daxia Ling Development Department have temporarily stopped their development work and have become temporary workers in the housing production workshop of the Logistics Department.

It's just that there are still some thresholds for carpentry. Even if the wooden house has a standardized production process and is broken down into a number of simple parts, it will be difficult to produce nearly 10,000 in a short period of time.

Not to mention, there is also the issue of land.

For a long time, Daxia Territory has never lacked any land except for arable farmland, but now tens of thousands of new territorial residents have suddenly poured into the territory, and residential land has suddenly become tense.

Not to mention that the territory cannot produce enough wooden houses within a month. Even if it can be produced, it is actually very difficult to arrange.

Without Chateau's instructions, Leiden consciously came up with a solution. On the one hand, he temporarily occupied part of the unallocated farmland, and on the other hand, he also urgently opened up to the outside world.

The ground was simply cleared without any deep leveling for farming. It was not until Xia Duo returned to the territory in November that the problem of insufficient residential land was initially solved.

Of course, there are many follow-up problems, but it is good to be able to take care of the present at this time, and there will be solutions in the future.

…

Daxia Territory, west side of the Tower of Time.

Sha Duo and Leiden stood on the edge of Codex Square, looking at the square filled with various tents. Sha Duo was in a much better mood than when he came back last month.

These tents are now in order. Not only are they divided into several areas, but each area is equipped with a food distribution point, an emergency rescue point, and a literacy teaching point. There are also security guards from the Gray Eagle tribe patrolling the perimeter.

The huge Codex Square is like a simple small community.

"You have done a good job this month. In addition to checking on the situation in the territory this time, I also brought back a batch of winter clothes. Give one set to all the people in the territory!"

"Sir, isn't this bad?" Layton subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

"The one I got just now is not accurate. It is to give one set to each of the subjects except those who have been granted land. The rest will be placed in the logistics department. The subjects who have been granted land can buy it by themselves."

In the current Daxia Territory, only those who have been granted land have private property in the true sense, while other people who have not been granted land are actually employees of the territory, and it is normal to receive some employee benefits.

As for giving it to the Greyhawk Tribe, it was purely to gain “loyalty”.

Of course, Xia Duo truly did not want any new leader from the Gray Eagle Tribe to die in the harsh winter.

But it was precisely because of this that Leiden felt that something was wrong. Concepts such as "equivalent exchange" and "everything must have a price" were not only possessed by mages, but also by believers in order.

Based on a simple understanding of dogmatism, it was obvious that Chateau would not agree. He ignored Leiden's objections and directly issued instructions in the form of orders.

He believed that Leiden would implement it seriously.

Of course, he also explained the reason why he did this, which was to expand the world view for his capable subordinate:

“I am not providing benefits to the new residents for free, but based on the premise that they are new residents. It seems to be at no cost, but it brings them into the system and gains their sense of identity and belonging.

“We should not be dogmatic or formalistic in everything. We only know how to deal with problems based on existing and specific principles and concepts. We need to have a holistic view and a development view.

“Don’t be obsessed with legal texts, but understand the spirit of legislation. Order is not an immutable mechanical thing, but a dynamic and stable system that keeps pace with the times, is full of vitality, and is positive.

"I look forward to our progress together in the future!"

After saying that, Xia Duo glanced at Leiden who was deep in thought, and then continued to look towards the square.

But the next moment, Layton's exclamation made him turn his head again, and he saw Layton holding his chest in pain and muttering: "My lord, why did you do this?"

When Xia Duo saw this, he was immediately shocked and wondered why he was related to the Lord of Glory. Seeing Leiden's painful look, he couldn't help feeling a little distressed and asked quickly:

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Leiden closed his eyes and tried his best to say: "My Lord has withdrawn part of his divine grace."

For priests with holy power, there is a big difference between "consuming divine grace" and "god withdrawing divine grace". The latter is not just a reduction in virtual values ​​such as "credit limit" and "favorability", but There are also practical changes with real effectiveness——

Take away the holy power!

Although Sha Duo has never possessed the Holy Power, nor has he ever been deprived of the Holy Power, he knows one thing very well, that is, it will be extremely painful when deprived of the Holy Power.

The most typical example is Atwood in the territory. Because of his different ideas, he was expelled from the Druid Order and was deprived of his holy power by the Elf God.

Atwood once described this process as "life is worse than death."
