Chapter 194 -195: Emi is Shocked, Lide Actually Wants to Take a Mage to Farm? (Added More)

The construction of the Mage Tower injected unimaginable vitality into Dawn City.

During the three days it was open, residents even set aside all their work to visit the Dawn Mage Tower.

Even though the Dawn Mage Tower was still an empty shell and most of the buildings were still in their initial state, this did not hinder the residents’ enthusiasm at all.

For it was their first time being in such close contact with a Mage Tower, the mysterious Mage Tower.

Only the high and mighty mage lords were qualified to reside within it.

The Holy Light Bloodline didn’t do much to stop them, apart from the core areas, the public areas were open for them to tour.

...

Many families with children of the appropriate age had exceptionally radiant smiles these past few days.

Although not all could meet the qualifications to enter the Mage Tower, there was still hope, wasn’t there?

On the seventh floor of the main tower of Dawn Mage Tower, Lide looked out through the transparent windows over the entire Mage Tower area.

In the distance was a barren grassland, devoid of people, and even further were the twinkling lights of Dawn City, which, entering the night, resembled a giant beast sprawled under the moonlight.

His gaze returned to his immediate surroundings, the seven-colored Mage Towers under the moonlight looked exceptionally charming, and he was very satisfied with the Magic Arrays with flowing Magic Fluctuations above the Mage Towers.

Although constructing the Mage Tower cost more than twenty times that of the Crimson Mage Tower, the infrastructure of Dawn Mage Tower was incomparable to that of the Crimson Mage Tower.

This was designed referencing an Extraordinary Level Mage Tower, not just any ordinary one.

One main tower, eight subsidiary towers, these nine spacious Mage Towers could accommodate nearly a thousand people at the same time.

Once the residential buildings within the range of the Mage Tower were completed, the number of people it could accommodate would surpass three thousand.

And such a scale of Dawn Mage Tower still had room for expansion.

If the population continues to increase in the future, new residential circles would be built outside the current walls of Dawn Mage Tower, and then the number of people it could accommodate could reach between eight thousand to ten thousand.

This was already comparable to the current population of Dawn City.

Of course, that was a plan for the future. For now, Dawn Mage Tower would suffice for at least the next five years.

“Ancestor Crown, Dawn Mage Tower was built using the blueprints of an Extraordinary Mage Tower, and it completely satisfies our current needs.

If further expansion is needed, the current building thickness of Dawn Mage Tower can easily allow the main tower to be expanded to the height of a hundred blades, and all subsidiary towers could also be upgraded to fifty blades,”

Emi reported confidently from behind Lide.

“And the main and subsidiary towers can also form a powerful Magic Array…”

Hearing this, Lide became somewhat interested. The construction of Dawn Mage Tower was under Emi’s control, and apart from occasionally reporting the progress, he had not deeply understood this Mage Tower that belonged to him.

He had many issues to handle and not enough time to pay attention to everything.

“Explain in detail.”

After the Bone Dragon’s attack on the Crimson Mage Tower was blocked by a Magic Shield, he had become very interested in Magic Arrays.

Although he had no plans to learn this vast discipline, he still maintained enough interest.

“Yes, Your Highness.

The blueprint of Dawn Mage Tower was obtained from a Transcendent at the Knight Temple. When we acquired this blueprint, I recorded it in detail just in case.

And this blueprint was originally preserved by a Transcendent of the Knight Temple.

This Transcendent provided a detailed explanation for this blueprint and also enhanced a powerful Magic Array from the Knight Temple and added it to it.

After thorough research, I confirmed that the Magic Array could be constructed, so I reserved space for building it during the construction of Dawn Mage Tower.

The functions of this Magic Array are very powerful, including detection, lie detection, tracking, defense, and more. If built, it would greatly assist Dawn City.”

After speaking, a hint of regret appeared in Emi’s eyes.

“However, the only pity is that we do not have enough Magic Crystal Stones, and building this Magic Array would cost no less than five hundred thousand Gold Pucks.”

I…

Upon hearing this, Lide felt overwhelmed.

It always involved money, why is building a Magic Array so expensive?

The Ancient Alchemy Magic Array for the Crimson Mage Tower hadn’t even reached its limit yet, and now here was another gold-consuming behemoth. It was really too much.

He had thought that establishing a Magic Factory would lead to a wealthy life, but now it was still necessary to be meticulous in budgeting.

He was earning a lot, true, but even more was needed for spending.

“Let’s put the construction of the Magic Array on hold for now, Dawn City won’t need it for a while.”

After considering it, Lide still shook his head and refused. Although the Magic Array was good, it wasn’t a high priority, and Dawn Mage Tower wasn’t the Crimson Mage Tower.

This place was safe enough, and establishing a Magic Array now wouldn’t be very useful.

On the other hand, the Crimson Mage Tower was a real necessity, as anything could happen in the outside world.

Although Emi felt somewhat regretful, he dared not say more because there was no room for discussion in the decisions Lide made.

“Yes, Ancestor Crown.”

“Furthermore, organize the residents to undergo Magic Talent tests as soon as possible, and any teenager under twenty who meets the basic requirements can be recruited into the Mage Tower for training.”

A gleam of determination flashed through Lide’s eyes, “In the future, Dawn City must have not only Combat Mages but also Production Mages.

Emi, from now on, divide Mage Apprentices into two types for assessment,

the first is Talent, those with high Mage Talent are to be prioritized for inclusion in the ranks of Combat Mages and should be first considered when developing the Bloodline.

The second is Character, Mage Apprentices who dare to take risks and are not afraid of combat should be developed into Combat Mages.

Others with lower talent and a gentler character should only be taught supportive Spells to become part of Dawn City’s productivity.”

Lide’s strategy was very clear. Mages, as a powerful group with command over forces, were undeniably strong in combat.

However, using them solely for combat would undoubtedly waste resources, and to him, the role of Mages in production was no less significant compared to their combat capabilities.

Regrettably, due to the entrenched influences of this world, no one would think of using Magic to farm.

To use Magic in production within Glory was an unconventional thought.

The idea that Mage equals Nobility had long been ingrained; having Nobility gentry engage in menial production? That’s likely the work of a mind eaten by Demons.

As a soul from the modern world, Lide obviously didn’t subscribe to these nonsensical notions. To him, the power possessed by Mages was akin to modern machinery capable of accomplishing many tasks that ordinary people could not.

His experiences during this period of construction had also validated his ideas.

Thus, he planned to develop Dawn Mage Tower into two parts.

The first part would undoubtedly be the combat section, where all mages would receive top-notch training to learn the most powerful spells,

while the second part would be the Ministry of Civil Affairs, where these Mages would be trained to become producers for Dawn City, learning supportive spells,

such as Mage’s Hand, Cleansing Skill, Driving Away Wild Beasts, Healing Skill, Physical Healing, and others that can be used for productive purposes.

Of course, this was just a rough plan of Lide’s; although promising, it still had many flaws that needed perfecting.

Building a city was about developing through exploration, and not making mistakes was not Lide’s way.

“Emi, you can take this opportunity to classify all the Bloodline’s Spells,

separating combat spells from supportive spells.

Especially list those that can be used in production, and later establish a dedicated research department within Dawn Mage Tower.

Specifically to study how to apply Spells to agricultural cultivation or other production construction.”

After hearing this, Emi opened his mouth to speak but then closed it and could only nod.

If he hadn’t become one of the Bloodline, this Shadow High Priest would surely have cursed Lide as a heretic; for dignified Spellcasters, to think all day about using Spells in agricultural production—preposterous.

Noble Spellcasters farming??

I….

But seeing Lide’s earnest gaze, Emi had to sincerely agree, clearly understanding Lide’s ideas.

He also knew how high a Mage’s productivity could be.

Understanding was one thing, acceptance another.

Lide noticed Emi’s frustrated expression and was indifferent, well aware of the deeply rooted notions of this world, unconcerned about who was right or wrong, but seeing it as a mere difference in perspective.

To him, as long as it was useful, what was wrong with Mages farming?

Even Dylan, the noble and elegant member of the Bloodline, he had made him raise pigs.

“Additionally, research on faith must not fall behind. In the future, there will be much for Dawn Mage Tower to research, and I hope you can get the Mage Tower up and running soon.”

Lide’s eyes were full of encouragement. Dawn Mage Tower’s future role was more than just a simple Mage Tower.

In fact, Lide preferred to think of it as a talent development base and research institution that would specialize in solving some problems he couldn’t solve on his own.

Upon hearing this, Emi immediately perked up.

“Ancestor Crown, Emi will follow your dispatch.”
