Before ascending to God, be a good lord

On February 2st, in the lord's room of the Iron Ore Castle, Lant sat in front of a large map and listened to the report on the construction of the reservoir by the Demonless Doryav.

"Your Majesty, as per your request, all construction teams have completed the first phase of construction, which is the southwest section of the reservoir," Doryav reported while taking out a large stack of forms. The situation of each construction team is recorded, including construction quality, points redemption status, team leader's learning ability and the overall situation of the team.

While flipping through the form, Lant asked: "Who do you think is the best among them?"

Doryav replied: "I think the latest outstanding captains are Empos Galloping Horse and Umoni. Their projects are not only of the highest quality, but their men can still do it after they go to Dragon Tooth City to recruit students. Maintain the construction progress of the engineering team.”

"In Galloping Horse Academy, they are relatively outstanding, but they are not as dazzling as Uffi, Britt and Dandelion." Lant was not surprised that the students in the academy stood out and asked instead, "But what I want to know is, overall, which team is better?"

Doryav replied: "In terms of team management ability, demon-supporters from small aristocrats and civilian families are better. They can generally mobilize the energy of all demon-free people quickly, but in terms of construction quality, The team from Imperial City is better and faster.”

"Oh? Why? Isn't it difficult for them to mobilize the Demonless?" Lant became interested.

"But they are more familiar with magic, and they are more daring to punish the non-magic," Doryav said. "They can see that their team is progressing slower than the surrounding teams, and they can release punishment-type magic to punish the non-magic. Fear, in recent days, they have also been able to give some sweeteners to the demon-free people and stimulate their motivation, so the construction quality of these families is higher."

"I know" Lant nodded.

"If you ask me, you should learn from them," Gu Leiya said with a smile, "Look at the group of intermediate knights in the imperial capital. They don't have much ability. Each one of them looks majestic in front of the people, and they have more style than you. And There are clear rewards and punishments, and Dandelion would have been sold as a slave long ago if she had fallen into their hands.”

"Yeah, I really feel inferior in this aspect!" Lanter said with a wry smile.

In the entire territory, even from Hindukel to Dragon Tooth City, Lant is famous for his good temper. His knights, agents and even Warcraft often take the initiative. Among them are people like Jenny, Tuotapa and others. La, Tierney used his talents like this,

There are also those like Dandelion and Gatsby who are almost out of control, and even more are like Pete the Mane Wolf who makes money crazily when no one cares about him, but is loyal to the emperor and loves the people when no one cares about him.

However, Lant gave more encouragement and rewards to his subordinates, and almost no punishment. Even if Dandelion really harmed many students of Galloping Horse Academy, Lant was only temporarily exiled to the north.

Not to mention Gulea and others, even Dandelion himself reminded Rant that he could use himself as a model to shock others.

"The reason I didn't deal with Dandelion before was because Queen Padmila left a list and asked me to try my best to preserve the bloodline of the Red Dragon family." Lant explained a little,

"To be honest, I think these matters of reward and punishment are more suitable for the prime minister to nominate the list, and I, the king, will give the approval. If I were to distinguish and evaluate each one one by one, it would be too bad for the king."

Seeing Gu Leiya covering her mouth and smiling, Lant couldn't express his own pain. The situation from the afternoon to the evening of December 12 was too complicated and involved too many people.

The students led by Dandelian that day only obtained knight qualifications and did not join any knights, so their actions in Yeqi City lacked restrictions. In the afternoon, Gu Leiya took them through the portal, and Li Qi Red Dragon also sent a recruitment letter, recognizing their status as knights of Dragon Tooth City.

In this way, the actions of the young people that day can be regarded as complete procedures. If Lant wants to punish them later, he really can't find a suitable reason.

However, what they were facing was an extremely high-risk war operation. If Gulea hadn't come to the rescue in time, the entire army would have been wiped out long ago.

After carefully reviewing the situation that day, Lant believed that he still had too few subordinates to form an effective bureaucracy. Whether it was the portals of Galloping Horse Academy, Yeqi City, or the personnel management of the territory, there were too many There are loopholes that can be exploited. On weekdays, everyone is busy doing things within their responsibilities, and few people can see the loopholes in it. However, when there is an emergency like the evening of the 11th, the disadvantages will appear intensively.

After seeing various problems in the territory, Lant made up his mind to introduce young people from all over the country on a large scale. At the same time, he also had to open up multiple promotion channels and select talents as soon as possible.

Only when there are enough people, the territorial system he designed can be effective, and he can be freed from the busy personnel work.

With this idea in mind, the iron ore reservoir has even greater significance for Rand: building a new core city, testing a magic furnace that can operate in water, raising one's own merfolk, and building magic algae and underwater monsters. In the breeding industry, there is also the need to create talent selection channels. With so many purposes brought together, it is as important to Rand as any city.

After learning about the construction progress of the reservoir, Lant took Guleiya to the cave near the lake where the fire-marked ammonite was stored.

In recent days, Elsa and Sophia, the great fairies, have completely leveled and renovated the entire cave. After several experiments, they found that the fire-marked ammonite can maximize its magic conversion efficiency only when it is completely immersed underwater.

So the cave containing the ammonite was transformed into two levels. The lower level was an underwater magic furnace room that was completely submerged in the lake water, and the upper level was a completely dry above-ground magic furnace room.

The layout of the ground room is very different from other magic furnace rooms. There is a thick metal pillar standing from the ground to the roof.

However, unlike other magic furnaces placed on the ground, the horizontal height of this "ground" magic furnace is actually 10 meters underground. The tank responsible for storing magic elements is also embedded in the rock formation above the roof. Because of this The main function of the magic furnace is to supply magic power to the magic patterns and magic circles at the bottom of the lake, rather than to provide magic power to the air above.

The location of the metal pillar is directly opposite the location where the fire pattern ammonite is placed in the underwater magic furnace room.

Compared with the ground magic furnace room, the underwater magic furnace room has a larger space. The 50-meter diameter and 30-meter-high room is like a large circular swimming pool, or like a super large fish tank in an aquarium: there is a 4-door door in the southeast of the room. The other side of the oversized window, which is 10 meters high and meters long, is an observation room. In the observation room, Lant and others can see the situation of the underwater magic furnace room.

Although the space between the underwater magic furnace is huge, the huge fire-patterned ammonite shell already occupies a small part of it. The surface of the shell exudes a dark red light under the water, flickering on and off, like breathing, and the surrounding rock walls The blue light also flickered, echoing the red light.
