Chapter 513: Chapter 8: Negotiations
Before Lynch arrived in Feiyan City, the rule and order here belonged to the traditional medieval order, where ordinary people pledged allegiance to the Lords, the Lords pledged allegiance to the King, and the entire kingdom listened to the Wizards hidden behind the scenes.
This traditional order was actually akin to a governance idea similar to Huang-Lao thought, where Wizards holding high positions wouldn’t do anything for the development of the ecological civilization, leaving these civilizations to develop on their own. Wizards would only step in at appropriate times to shear some wool and reap the benefits.
The advantage was minimal interference with the world, which was relatively hassle-free; after all, they didn’t need to do anything, just wait for the fruit to mature on its own before picking it up.
The majority of the Wizard World developed under this model, simply dividing society into rent-collecting classes and the enslaved classes.
However, this model had its drawbacks. Because Wizards did not interfere in social development, each civilization developed extremely slowly, occasionally engaging in conflicts that further slowed the development process. Simply put, the wool grew slowly, and the quality of the matured fruit was poor.
After Lynch came to this land, he deeply rewrote the rules of order here.
He established a series of Extraordinary Organizations such as the Light Church, Magic Farm, and Alchemy Workshop, and clarified the powers of each organization. The Magic Farm focused on production, while the Alchemy Workshop researched how to make equipment.
He changed the original model of social development, deeply involving magic and Wizards in the development process of each ecology, using magic to drive the progress of civilization.
In the past, they waited for fruit to mature naturally, but now they actively watered, fertilized, and weeded the fruit, stimulating rapid growth.
Although this seemed more laborious, it actually produced more yields, acquiring more fruits, which in turn could recruit more farmers and use better fertilizers to produce even more fruits.
The Adventurer Guild is a typical example. Initially, noblemen arranged for personnel to explore, involving only a few Apprentice Knights and Knights, making even the exploration of one or two dungeons a task requiring full effort.
Afterwards, Lynch began to allow the Council to carry out widespread Knight Training, enabling all young people of appropriate age in Feiyan City to become Knights. Subsequently, he incorporated a series of extraordinary powers such as the Light Church and Alchemy Workshop, resulting in a geometric rise in the number of dungeon explorations.
Later, introducing Extraordinary Transformation continued to strengthen the adventurers, greatly enhancing not only the breadth but also the depth of dungeon exploration.
During this period, although Lynch spent vast resources and paid a colossal price, his gains were also considerable, including countless historical documents, Magic Knowledge, and antiques… But most importantly, Space Runes! Fresh chapters posted on novelfire(.)net
Currently, within his controlled range, he has woven a tightly-knit space web using these runes, allowing him to reach any place with just a thought.
And it should be noted that this is already the rudiment of Domain, an ability originally only owned by Third-tier Level Wizards!
It is precisely the existence of this Space Domain that enabled him to dare to confront the old forces of this Jade Land from the beginning. As long as this Space Domain exists, he can always remain invincible.
All of this stems from the benefits brought by exploring the Ancient Ruins, and the dungeons currently being excavated are still only at a shallow level, with strength below the Wizard Level, not yet touching the Secret Skill Level.
What about the secret skill? The domain? The rules? Even…
In legend…
This ancient civilization truly possesses a genuine set of Truth!
Therefore,
No matter the cost, no matter the manpower and resources expended, the exploration of the Ancient Ruins must continue. In a sense, this has already permeated his Wizard’s Road, closely related to his path as a Wizard.
…
Early the next morning, Lynch called Fatty over, choosing the location at the Wizard Tower of Feiyan City.
Under his rules of order, the Wizard Tower wasn’t as chaotic in authority as elsewhere, where combat and production were all crammed into one Wizard Tower, appearing bloated and cumbersome.
His Wizard Tower existed purely as an academic institution, not participating in social division of labor, solely dedicated to the training of apprentices, research on various magical academic topics, and conducting various magical experiments.
Fatty seemed to have a fondness for such a place with an academic atmosphere, so they often arranged to meet here.
In the morning, sunlight pierced through the clouds, spilling across corridors overgrown with nettles. Along the long corridors, you could see young figures carrying large books, occasionally hearing laughter and scuffles, with cloaks swaying in the gentle breeze, exuding a full sense of youth from top to bottom.
In a corner of the hallway, Fatty stood under a stone pillar, surreptitiously peeking down the bustling corridor, his eyes unconsciously glancing at the thighs of young, pretty girls.
“Stupid Fatty, peeking at girls again? Which class are you in? I’m reporting you to your mentor.”
At that moment, a big hand smacked heavily onto Fatty’s shoulder, startling him and making his whole body of fat quiver.
“Tee-hee!”
“Haha!”
The passing girls, long fed up with Fatty’s sly behavior, couldn’t help but cover their mouths and giggle when they saw him get snubbed.
From behind Fatty, a figure emerged.
With hair as black as ink, sword-like eyebrows, bright starry eyes, and delicate, refined features, a bookish aura naturally emanated outward. Those deep gray eyes were like two peculiar gems embedded in his eye sockets.
Several girls, upon seeing the figure behind Fatty, blushed with just a glance.
Fatty’s face turned black.
“Let’s go, let’s go!”
He hurriedly pulled Lynch along, glancing back at those enamored girls, grumbling with jealousy, “Biological Transformation major really is great, you can shape your face however you want.”
After pausing, he angrily complained, “Look at these females, all foolish with low-grade taste who only care about appearance!”
Lynch casually replied, “Humans are inherently visual beings, and Wizards are humans too, aren’t they?”
“Besides…”
After a pause, he smirked, “My face is all-natural. Although I’m adept at Biological Transformation, I’m only interested in transforming others. As for myself, I haven’t had any intention even to change a single hair.”
Fatty became furious, “Are you here to discuss business with me!!!”
“Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore.”
Lynch shrugged, “Let’s talk while we walk.”
