Chapter 1323 Villager Mutual Aid Association, New Natural Druid

[Daxia-Saville Passage] starts from the Tower of Time in the south and ends at the White Sheep and Gray Rabbit Villages in the southern part of the Saville Territory in the north. It has a standard width of 500 new meters and a total length of 25 new miles.

In the past three months since the weather got warmer after the harsh winter, the efficient Daxia residents have completed nearly a quarter of the development in the south.

At this moment, Xia Duo was flying in the sky, and he could clearly see a mottled middle strip below that was completely different from the green forests on both sides.

Although there are still many trees on it that have not been cleared away, at least there is the appearance of a passage.

At the end of this mottled middle strip, the residents who had not yet taken their turn were still working, knocking down the trees in front of them.

Further north, there are only narrow strips of trees cut down at the planned width of the [Daxia-Saville Passage], like two rulers, extending all the way to the north.

Since Xia Duo was flying in the sky at the moment, even if he didn't deliberately cast a special far-sighted spell, he could still see an obvious forest middle strip at the end of the planned passage, extending to the north.

But Xia Duo could also see that the development progress of Savile Territory was not as good as that of Daxia Territory. Both sides started construction at almost the same time, but the efficiency was almost half lower!

The number of people may be a factor, but Xia Duo believes that it is the boundless expectations of the people of Daxia for the future and the more accessible command and coordination system of the Development Department that make their work efficiency far better than that of the north.

"Leiden, according to the plan, it should be possible to open the north-south passage before winter, right?"

"Yes, sir, it is being implemented according to the plan, and it is slightly ahead of schedule. There will definitely be no problem before winter."

“But land leveling is a big problem!”

Xia Duo is not the kind of lord who has never been to the grassroots level. He knows very well what a real forest looks like. Even if the trees are cut down, there are still roots underground.

In addition to the trees themselves, there are also various rocks of different sizes on the ground blocking the road. Remove the stones, and the ground itself also has ups and downs.

Cutting down trees is only the simplest step in the [Daxia-Saville Passage] project. Subsequent work, whether it is wood collection and clearing, land leveling, compaction, or brick laying, all require more man-hours.

According to the prior plan, the tunnel will be completed within three years, but now it seems that the previous plan may have been a bit too optimistic.

It will take more than half a year just to open the channel. Can the follow-up work really be completed within the planned time?

Thinking of this, Xia Duo once again turned his attention to the north dozens of miles away. The previous plan of the Daxia Territory did not include the Saville Territory.

If the north was included, it might be possible to advance a lot earlier, but Xia Duo was not satisfied with just a little advance, he wanted more!

And it’s not just the project itself!

…

"I see Atwood, let's go down!"

After informing Leiden, Shado took the two of them to the southeast corner of Codex Square.

From here to the south is a green wheat field. The wheat that has successfully survived the harsh winter is desperately absorbing nutrients and showing its most vigorous vitality to the outside world.

Of course, Atwood did not come from the wheat field, but from the north [Daxia-Saville Passage]. The reason why he landed on the edge of the wheat field was just to stay away from other territorial residents.

In this way, Shado and Layton continued to chat about the territory development plan while waiting for Atwood. Facing the vibrant wheat fields, the two of them did not feel that time passed very slowly.

Almost ten minutes later, Atwood appeared in front of Shado with a child in his early ten years, "Lord, Atwood is late!"

"It's not too late. I just talked to Leiden about the villagers' mutual aid association you established in the north!"

"Sir, do you know everything?"

Atwood stroked his gray beard that had grown to his chest with one hand, and his eyes could not help but reveal a hint of pride, but he still did not dare to show off too much in front of the lord who inspired him.

So he immediately revealed everything he had done before——

"Sir, although there are pioneering teams in the north, most of them are organized with the help of people from the Adventurer's Union. Mayor Thain is very firm in carrying out your instructions, but the people below are too slick.

“When I was carrying out legal education work in Baiyang Village, I often heard complaints from villagers who had taken on development tasks, saying that some people in the Adventurer’s Union and the town office often deducted development subsidies for various reasons.

"Some of them reported it to Mayor Sein, but they failed to get their subsidies back in the end. I sat in on a trial of a law enforcement priest. Sometimes the villagers did not do their job well, but more often than not, it was the petty officials who Too harsh!

"Even Mayor Thain can't do anything to those people most of the time. After all, strictly speaking, what they did is not wrong.

“I gained the respect of many villagers because of my legal education, and I felt that I should not let down their respect, so I organized a mutual aid association to unite many villagers and negotiate with the pioneer organizers for more specific subsidy standards.

"The officials of Savile Territory knew that I came from Daxia Territory and was directly responsible to you, sir, so they quickly compromised.

"Because of this, I gained a higher reputation among the people of Savile Territory who participated in the development in the north, so they began to take the initiative to ask me about the content of the new natural concept.

"Nowadays, many of the Savile Territory residents who participated in the development have accepted this idea."

After that, Atwood coughed again, "Lord, I have another good news to tell you!"

"What news?"

Shado glanced at Atwood who seemed a little deliberate, and a thought suddenly came to his mind. No way, could it be——

At this time, Atwood took a deep breath, stretched out a hand in front of Shado, and then a ball of holy power with a light green glow appeared out of thin air on his palm.

"Lord, look! I have regained the holy power! It is the real natural holy power!"

At this moment, Atwood could no longer suppress the joy in his heart, and the corners of his grinning mouth almost hung on his ears. At the same time, he pushed the silent child beside him to Shado and continued:

"Lord, this is Fanny, he has sensed the will of nature, and perhaps it won't be long before the territory will have another real natural druid!"

"Fanny?"

"Lord-Lord, it's me."

Little Fanny saluted to Shado in a daze, and Shado noticed that this little guy was actually Rude's son.

Rude was the first batch of new subjects who followed him to open up the territory, and he was also one of the fifty people he personally granted land to at the first land granting ceremony three months ago!

"Little guy, don't be afraid. The lord is the one who protects everyone and is the most trustworthy person! Come and tell the lord uncle what the natural will you feel looks like?"

Chaduo touched Fanny's little head and said softly.
