In the City of Magic, there was a long-distance teleportation array that Ron had set up long ago, but until today, the timing was still a bit off.
If development continues for a longer period, Sandyland will face less pressure.
However, large-scale ruins in other places have also been unearthed one after another. Although the timing of development is not the best, it is not too bad either!
If Ron wanted to accelerate the spread of magic books, it was the Carlo Magic Empire that printed them first. Similarly, Ron arranged for the appearance of the Magic City to be after the ruins of the major empires were unearthed.
It's always better to play it safe than sorry.
Soon after, in a European-style conference room.
Ron began issuing development tasks for the Magic City to the group of managers.
"You all should carefully select suitable puppeteers. Outstanding students from Sandy Magic and Martial Arts Academy may also participate in this development work..."
"..."
"..."
During the conversation, the relevant arrangements were almost completed, and Ron conveyed the specific time for the development date.
Three days later.
By then, Ron should have already set up the corresponding spatial teleportation array.
Ron, seated in the lord's seat, watched as the stewards withdrew one by one.
Ron hurriedly finished the cup of potion Vivian handed him and immediately went to set up the teleportation array.
Ron had already planned out the teleportation location.
They flew using wind magic, stopping to rest every few miles before continuing until Ron, Rita, and the others arrived at a plain.
This is about thirteen miles west of Sandy City, a suitable location for building a teleportation town.
As the name suggests, towns related to teleportation arrays can not only connect to the Magic City, but also to the capital of the Kingdom of Gil, and even to major empires.
Major transportation routes often mean prosperity, but also a certain degree of chaos. Enemies may also use teleportation arrays to launch surprise attacks on Sandy City.
Therefore, this distance of more than ten miles is necessary, and this place will always attract people from all over.
Fortunately, the plains area was suitable for setting up a branch of the religion.
With the divine power of their superior protecting them, there would likely be fewer enemies infiltrating. As people from all over pass through this area, knowing that there is a church dedicated to a goddess, it would naturally serve to spread the goddess's name.
This achieves multiple benefits in one fell swoop.
The subsequent meeting focused on the development of the Magic City, and Ron also briefly explained the preparatory work for its construction.
After Ron completes the initial important teleportation array, skilled construction workers will soon arrive.
Three days isn't a long time.
During this time, various array materials kept pouring out of Ron's storage ring.
The dwarf-led construction team had arrived earlier. Earth mages cast earth wall spells beside Ron, while more skilled workers modified the earth walls, mainly reinforcing and raising them.
After Ron finished setting up the space teleportation array, the buildings behind it were also completed.
From the outside, an ancient castle appeared to have been erected on the desolate plains in just three days, and inside the castle was only one teleportation array with an extremely long range.
With the outer castle protecting it, it's not afraid of wind or rain. This teleportation array may also become a site of ruins many years later.
Today is the day Sandy leads the development team to explore the City of Magic.
Efficiency, efficiency, and more efficiency.
In three days, the managers and the academy staff sprang into action, selecting personnel, preparing exploration tools, and drafting adventure contracts before the expedition.
It must be said that the God of Contracts also has his own methods for proclaiming his divine name.
By forming a contract with each adventurer, betrayal by unfamiliar adventure partners is virtually eliminated, while familiar adventure partners can choose not to form a contract, saving on magic crystal costs.
Besides the expedition team, a group of priests were also preparing for the establishment of the new branch church.
The Pope's orders still work; this time, quite a few priests from both religions came.
Ron briefly floated in the air using wind magic, giving the people his final warning: "Do not leave the ruins area at will. Outside, there are mostly lord-level magical beasts, and that area is still within the Misty Forest..."
"What? The Misty Forest!"
"My lord!"
"The ruins of the Magic City are actually inside the Misty Forest!"
"..."
As Ron gave his final warning, a murmur rippled through the crowd below.
Ron, who was floating in the air, was very satisfied. This was good. He was just afraid that these territorial talents would be lost in the ruins for nothing.
Among the expedition team were a considerable number of young students, and among them, a young man wearing a magic mirror was the de facto leader of the group.
After much deliberation, Clyde still tried to alleviate the students' worries. After the lord's words, people whispered among themselves, and then a quiet atmosphere ensued. Clyde broke this silence, and at the same time, he temporarily stopped Ron from thinking about coming down.
"My lord, will our members of the Puppet Society cause you any trouble?" Clyde asked, still somewhat timid, mainly due to the natural reaction of a commoner facing nobles.
In particular, Ron is not only an earl but also a pope.
Fortunately, the dwarven architects often consulted Ron's opinions, which Clyde noticed, and Clyde was quite familiar with Ron's general temperament.
Knowing the lord's reply can effectively alleviate the students' fear of the Misty Forest.
Meanwhile, Ron in the sky was quite interested in the term "member".
Thinking about it, oh, it must be those various team-building activities I suggested back then!
Ron answered in the same normal tone as when the dwarf architect asked him, but his answer was somewhat irrelevant: "You, sir, what is your name? By the way, what is the name of your academy's team building activity?"
"Your Highness, I am Clyde, the student, and as the president of the Ryan Puppet Club at Sandy Magic and Martial Arts Academy, I am honored to have this opportunity..."
"..."
The person behind him gave a long self-introduction, but Ron didn't pay much attention to it. What caught his attention was the name of the Ryan Society.
Isn't Ryan Wright's pen name from back then?
Sure enough, there's no concept of patent awareness here.
By the way, when we get back, we can try to improve this aspect. The first patent law in this other world is a great way to attract talent.
I recall a past life where someone once said, before the patent law was enacted, that the fire of genius should be fueled by the oil of profit.
However, while the patent law of the previous life had the practical conditions for its implementation, it seems to face numerous difficulties here.
The main problem is insufficient strength; Sandy's patent law is difficult to implement across the entire continent!
Furthermore, the fifteen-year patent from the beginning of my previous life was still a bit long.
Think about it carefully! Improve it as soon as possible…
Returning to his senses, Ron finally answered the specific questions: "The City of Magical Machines has a protective arcane array, tentatively based on the divine level of that time. Its current state is unknown. The elemental domain is also blocked from entering. Unfortunately, the people of that era were simply too weak, and it has ultimately become a relic..."
People listened quietly, and then they realized...
The City of Magical Machines once possessed a divine-level arcane array specifically designed to counter the laws of the world.
According to the lord, tens of thousands of years later, the arcane array there still has a protective function.
This is truly incredible.
Tens of thousands of years... The City of Magic, what a magical and magnificent site of ruins...
As Ron continued his narration, the expedition team became even more fascinated by the ruins of the Magic City.
Some of the young and inexperienced explorers didn't even understand the term "arcane," and it was clear that those students didn't read many ancient books about ruins.
After a while, Ron finally landed.
Ron, a master swordsman with wind-elemental abilities, is becoming increasingly adept at using levitation.
After thinking for a moment, he walked over to Clyde again and gave him some instructions: "You guys need to change the name of your team building activity."
"Yes, my lord."
"Alright, that's good. Let's set off. I await your good news."
Time passed slowly, and one by one, people entered the newly built teleportation castle. Inside, mages inserted high-level magic crystals at the array's core, chanted incantations, and the array patterns shimmered. All the people inside gradually faded and disappeared in the magical light.
Outside.
Ron was then greeted by a group of priests and nuns.
"Look over there, what do you think? This Pope sees it as a very suitable arrangement for a branch church..."
