The main reason why Niya said this is actually because those people's vision is too low, and the income from a lifetime of hard work may not be as much as the cost of one of her experiments.
Sometimes she really didn't understand what her father was thinking. She knew clearly about some people's little moves, but deliberately turned a blind eye, leaving her with a lot of trouble.
As for her uncles, although they would not openly oppose her, they would not hesitate to choose not to act if it was more beneficial to them.
This is actually the biggest obstacle to the reform of Savileland - an invisible network woven from top to bottom by power and interests.
In other words, this is what most people understand as Savile Territory itself!
In the past, Niya was always undecided to change. In addition to these human factors, the biggest psychological obstacle was actually the tradition passed down by the Savile family from the Savile generation.
Because Epps is not really dead after all, Niya doesn't want to see her territory look familiar again the day her father recovers.
However, the development of the times will not accommodate individual feelings. At the same time, she was deeply influenced by Xia Duo and did not want her subjects to miss the opportunity for great development because of her own selfishness.
Finally, the return of her great-grandfather made Niya truly determined. With her great-grandfather here, her father would not be too sad even if the territory no longer looked familiar.
"I have thought about it. When the snow melts and the new comes, let Leiden send people to the north to take over the territory. I will ask Uncle Thain to cooperate with them."
"So urgent? Have you figured out how to relocate the original people?"
"Uncle Thain and the others just took this opportunity to retire. It's time to take a good rest after working for most of their lives. If they still have the energy, they can also consider arranging deputy positions in the future. After all, their experience for most of their lives will not be available to anyone in a short time. Catch up. As for the others, I don’t care. You can do whatever you want, just follow the process!"
Niya said it easily, but it was the first time that Shado felt her determination on this matter from her, "I understand, I will let Leiden handle it properly.
"By the way, Savile, what does he think about this matter?"
"Great-grandfather doesn't care about this, but he once mentioned that the statue in the central square of the town is an idea of his. As long as the statue is not moved, I guess great-grandfather will not have any objections."
"statue?"
Shado remembered that he had discovered the clouds before by observing Savile's statue. He guessed that the statue might be related to Savile's early research on ascension to the gods.
But nowadays, when almost everyone has a share of the ascension ceremony, what does a mere statue that seems to be a carrier of faith mean?
So, he told Niya:
"I will not touch that statue, and the name of Savile Territory will be retained. On your side, there are still two or three months. You have time to explore Savile's words again. If he has any suggestions, put them forward as soon as possible. , we can also arrange it as early as possible.”
"You are too cautious, but it doesn't matter. I will ask again. I believe he will agree and support it."
Niya's tone was full of confidence, and then the two chatted in the corridor on the public floor for a while before leaving.
…
the next day.
Shado continued to test the [Soul Talisman] with Niya. This time he was fully prepared. Not only did he prepare up to six talismans for testing, but he also specially designed some illusions to simulate the mental world.
Of course, it was just a simulation, and the actual effect was far inferior. The main reason was that he didn't want to use the trial series of spells to test anymore. He really didn't want to experience that involuntary feeling again.
The testing process was still similar to yesterday, starting with low-level spells, then gradually increasing them, and finally using only high-level spells to test the specific effective range of the talisman, and also to verify one of Sha Duo's guesses.
After a day of repeated testing, Xia Duo finally came to the conclusion——
[Essence Talisman]’s protective effect against psychic spells is indeed surprisingly good!
in particular--
It is almost completely immune to psychic spells below level 8, and no matter how many attacks it endures, it will not cause irreversible damage to the amulet; while above level 8, any attack will cause irreversible damage to the amulet.
But here comes the key!
No matter how powerful the psychic attack is, a intact [Soul Amulet] can resist it at least once!
In other words, as long as a person is wealthy enough and has enough spirit talismans with suitable attributes around him, he can completely ignore psychic attacks!
This made Xia Duo feel happy and helpless at the same time. The reason for the joy was of course that the [Essence Amulet] had a high probability of being able to withstand attacks from the mental world.
The helplessness is that this thing can only be used by himself. Niya who does not have special blood and other people who need spiritual protection cannot use it.
"Alas -" Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh.
"How do I say it?"
Niya's sudden response in Chinese immediately made Xia Duo laugh, and then he said in more familiar Chinese: "I feel so uncomfortable!"
His reaction also made Niya laugh, and then comforted: "Don't worry about me, I will try to avoid going out during this period. I believe you will be able to find a way to transform the [Soul Talisman] into a more versatile item. method!"
"Well, I also believe that with your encouragement I can definitely do it!"
…
In the next few days, Sha Duo began to devote his energy to studying the world of mental images. At the same time, he did not forget the design of the time acceleration area in the floating city. He only waited to get Cliff's mithril to start construction.
In this way, time quickly came to the day agreed by Sha Duo and Cliff.
This morning, Sha Duo personally delivered the goods to his door. Under Cliff's arrangement, he entered a spacious hall prepared in advance in the Tower of Glory.
"Wow!"
As soon as he entered the hall, Xia Duo was shocked by the scene in front of him. Ten-pound standard mithril ingots were piled neatly together, like a hill. The visual impact was so strong.
So much so that Xia Duo was speechless for a while. He had only handled so much mithril since time travel, but the mithril he had handled before did not require him to get it personally, and they were not in the same time and space.
To him, those mithrils are just numbers on a book. The amount of mithril stored in the Tower of Time warehouse has never exceeded 500 pounds.
Now that he saw this "living" 30,000 pounds (more than ten tons) of mithril, he truly felt the charm of wealth.
"Sir Cliff, didn't you agree to pay in installments before? Why now-"
"I bought some more on a whim. If Lord Xia Duo mind, I can pay it in installments according to the previous agreement."
"No, no, no, that's fine, I've lost both money and goods!"
Although paying in installments has too much impact on Xia Duo in terms of value, after all, he got these mithrils for use, not to hoard the price. If it is really used, it will be good for him to settle it early, which will allow him to His plans became more flexible.
And early settlement is not a bad thing for Cliff. The price increase of mithril in the future is almost inevitable. If you acquire enough now, you may be able to earn back a Mythra when the price increases in the future!
It's a pity that Xia Duo doesn't have that much capital to play such a futures game, but Cliff just said that he bought more on a whim. How much more did he buy? If he could really earn back a Mythra, he would be really good at playing it!
