Chapter 1103 Near-term and short-term plans, war of ideas
Everything will be successful if it is prepared in advance, and it will be ruined if it is not prepared.
Xia Duo is accustomed to specifying detailed or general plans for his various future actions, and he will revise future plans based on changes in the current situation.
If you have a plan, you will naturally have goals. In other words, it is precisely because you have the goals you want to achieve that you formulate corresponding plans.
Xia Duo's short-term goal is to complete the production of the Daxia Codex entity and a series of small measures surrounding this matter. The short-term goal is to complete the transformation of the [Huangsha Demiplane].
As for the trip to Lesen Territory, although it was previously delayed due to the princess's ascension to the gods, it does not prevent it from being still a short-term plan for Shado, parallel to the transformation of the [Yellow Sand Demiplane].
Even in terms of its impact on the longer-term future, the trip to Lesen Territory may be much more important than the [Yellow Sand Demiplane].
After all, the only recorded experimental accident that could erase a spellcaster's ability to contact a specific level of magic network was that of Lei Senling.
But there is more than one demiplane [Yellow Sand Demiplane].
Now Xia Duo already knows the principle of plane creation, and even obtained some spell element units from other magic systems recorded by the creator of the scroll in the field of plane creation from the "Nese Scroll", which directly reach the essence of the plane creation field.
Give him a little time, and he can create a [Yellow Sand Demiplane] that is almost identical to the current one.
But how to degrade the caster (erasing the ability and knowledge to contact a specific level of magic network), he is still at a loss.
The reason why the current proportion of arcanists is very low is not only that advancement requires a lot of knowledge, but that knowledge has not yet been widely popularized in Netheril.
What's more, once a spellcaster misses the 10th level advancement, no matter how many levels he advances to later, unless he becomes a legend and then advances to a grand arcanist, he will never be able to become an arcanist.
But as long as you master the technique of directional degradation of spellcasters, you can advance to the level of arcanist not only when you are a level 10 mage. After that, no matter how many levels you advance, you can go back and advance again.
Even for legendary mage, if you feel unsure about directly advancing to Grand Arcanist, you can retreat to level 10 to advance.
As for re-upgrading after downgrading, it is too simple. As long as the knowledge mastered by the individual has not disappeared, according to the ring promotion trial, upgrading is a matter of minutes!
Once such technology is realized, the path of future spellcasters will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Combined with the popularization of magic education, arcanists will become a very common academic background, similar to the college students in Shado's hometown, instead of the current very rare elite profession in Netheril.
Therefore, Lord Leisen Xia Duo must pay a visit. If it were not for the recent heavy affairs, he might have already sent a visit notice to Lord Leisen by now.
Of course, his plan is far more than that. Magical civilization cannot be formed overnight, but is a long process, which involves all aspects,
And this requires Xia Duo to plan and calculate for it in all aspects.
…
After going through all the unread documents accumulated in the study, Chateau summoned Layton, the consul of the general territory, to come to the study.
After not seeing each other for almost half a month, Xia Duo couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw Leiden again. Leiden was still dressed in the same simple style as before, and he was wearing an old leather armor that he hadn't been able to replace with a new one.
For Leiden, this half month may be just an ordinary half month, but for Shado, too many things happened during this period.
Thinking of the next plan, Xia Duo thought about it and said:
"Last month I bought a ship in Severton. I will be able to arrive at the territory at the end of this month. There are a group of bards I recruited on the ship. You also know their role. Let Cade entertain you well.
them.
"There may be some slaves purchased on the road, and resettlement work must be done as well. They may still be slaves today, but once they have accumulated merit and are deregistered, they will be no different from other people in Daxia.
"There is no need to cling to their past identities. It will be a new beginning when they arrive in Daxia Territory."
Chateau was not worried about Leiden's obedience and betrayal. As a believer and practitioner of the Lord of Glory's teachings, Leiden could not do such a thing, but the mental state of his subordinates and ministers was what he needed to care about.
Otherwise, he was really worried that Leiden would go to extremes without thinking.
The teachings of the Lord of Radiance are most likely created by some mage lords in the early days of Nese to maintain their rule. Although they are in line with the ideas of the Lord of Radiance to a large extent, the ideological system in their teaching texts may not be as good as the original Lord of Radiance.
God’s thoughts are so perfect and complete.
Bugs or inconsistencies are not uncommon.
Otherwise, there would not be priests of the Lord of Radiance with very different ideological tendencies, such as priests of justice, priests of radiance, priests of judgment, and paladins.
In fact, these priests with different ideological tendencies can interpret the thoughts and ideas of the Lord of Glory through their own perception of the holy power. Although if they go deeper, they may eventually converge with the Lord of Glory.
But at a superficial level, it is difficult to get rid of the influence of original doctrinal texts, which is also the source of the ideological divisions of those clergy.
It has to be said that those Nese lords in ancient times probably did a good thing unintentionally.
At least that's the case for Chateau.
A "god-priest-believer" system, or organization, with a very complete ideological system of doctrinal texts is something that Shado really doesn't want to encounter.
Because that means that the beliefs arising from this doctrine will be very stubborn and may not be compatible with the magical civilization he envisioned.
In this case, even if the source of such thoughts, God, is destroyed, such thoughts may not be able to be eradicated.
Similar to the major sects on Earth, due to their relatively complete ideological theories, in the era of prosperous science, they were able to develop vigorously and vigorously even without the appearance of the true god.
In fact, this is not a battle between strength and strength, or the physical body destroying the physical body, but a battle in which one thought defeats another thought and completely gains the upper hand. It can be said to be very difficult.
Fortunately, there are no monsters like that in Netheril today, which gives Shado a lot of room for development.
Of course, the Lord of Glory is quite compatible with the magical civilization envisioned by Shado, and his attempt to influence Leiden is actually a process of constantly looking for a point where the two are more consistent.
Moreover, Xia Duo's next plans will be many times more troublesome without Leiden!
…
"Yes, Lord Lord!"
Leiden did not show any resistance to Chateau's instructions and the influence they exerted, but accepted them completely.
Now he can indeed be described as "a gentleman can bully others".
