I Became the Progenitor Vampire Chapter 92

Chapter 92: Chapter 92 Concept for the New District (2/4)

In Lide's plan, the future Dawn City was definitely not going to be the same size as it is now.

It might even expand by several times.

Therefore, when allocating land, he reserved an area of five kilometers in length for future use, which he predicted might be needed very soon given the current pace of development.

He was already setting his sights on five years from now.

Currently, Dawn City could accommodate approximately twenty thousand humans and three thousand of the Bloodline for residence, and reaching this number had already saturated the city.

Although there are only a little over 3000 people in the city now, Lide projected that the population would reach 6000 to 8000 this year, and by next year after another year of development, the population would reach the full capacity of twenty thousand.

By then, planning new districts would be somewhat too late, so it was better to plan out the new districts in advance to avoid the rush when the time came.

And having the high-end Mage Towers established in the new districts would undoubtedly play a very good role in attracting people.

Additionally, the future school would also be built in the new districts; combined, these two would ensure that the new districts would quickly take shape.

No one wouldn't want to send their children to learn magic and knowledge in the Mage Towers and schools. Leaving aside the question of whether they could get in, being closer was always better.

Lide estimated that this vast tract of land could accommodate a minimum of a hundred thousand people to live, enough to meet the development for a very long time in the future.

Of course, for now, this place is still a wasteland.

“Now we have a large number of humans available to us; we need to put this labor force to use and not just support them for nothing.”

Lide said solemnly, “While building the Mage Tower, we could take this opportunity to carry out more infrastructure construction.

It would be best to first repair the road between the Mage Tower and Dawn City,

and the houses that were destroyed two days ago also need to be rebuilt.”

Having looked at the few people who were in thought, Lide went ahead and made a decision.

“The construction of the Mage Tower will be assigned to Emi. Around the Mage Tower, a batch of houses can be built for Mage Apprentices to live in. Plan for a population of five hundred and reserve the land necessary to support a surrounding population of at least five thousand people.”

“Harryson will be responsible for the roadwork and the reconstruction of the houses in Dawn City.”

“City Hall can establish a new department–Construction Department, and recruit humans with construction experience to jointly perfect the planning of the new district.

Remember, the future new district will be an area that can accommodate a hundred thousand people. The Mage Tower and school are just parts of it.

You must consider all aspects of the facilities and show me the new district plan for confirmation before starting construction.”

A series of orders instantly made the group feel Lide's magnificent vision.

To build the Magic Towers first and plan to establish schools in the future was a truly grand move.

And given that Dawn City had only 3000 residents and many vacant houses within the city, Lide was already envisioning the next three to five years, planning for the future.

He was also getting ready to begin the work of establishing a new district that could accommodate a hundred thousand people.

This grand plan ignited a surge of enthusiasm within the group.

Although they knew that Dawn City would inevitably grow under Lide's leadership,

no one had expected that just a month after Lide had confirmed the future direction of the Bloodline, they would be planning a district capable of housing a hundred thousand people.

Although it might take years for the plan to be realized, it did not detract from their admiration for Lide in the slightest.

Even Emi, a blasphemous being with broad experience, marveled at Lide's far-reaching vision.

To think of the future at this time and to set out a plan to realize it required an impeccable vision and skill.

At the very least, if he had to manage Dawn City and knew the current situation, he would not be able to decide on such an ambitious and visionary plan; he would at most focus on filling the population of Dawn City first and deal with the rest after Dawn City filled up.

Lide did not pay attention to the astonished looks from the group, his profound eyes gazing upon the map on the table.

In his mind, he had already sketched out the image of Dawn City in a few years.

However, comrades still need to work hard.

After deciding on the opening of the new district, Lide spoke of the second matter.

Magic.

From Mage's Hand to Small Fireball Skill, the improvement of these two spells had given him a lot of reflection. Although both were successfully improved, he simultaneously realized that he still had many shortcomings.

Therefore, Lide wanted to exchange ideas on magic with a few individuals and also pass on his improved versions of Mage's Hand and Small Fireball Skill.

Mage's Hand was secondary; the improved Small Fireball Skill was of great help to them, with its combat effectiveness already confirmed on Emi.

This formidable blasphemer couldn't withstand it.

“I recently improved two new spells, one of which is Mage's Hand,”

Lide said, snapping his fingers, and Mage's Hand appeared in front of everyone.

It surprised them all after undergoing several transformations.

Ivy said excitedly, “It's a remarkable idea. This modification has made Mage's Hand much more versatile, making it an excellent assistant for alchemy experiments.”

Emi also nodded and expressed admiration, “The functionality and application of the improved Mage's Hand is nearly on par with Second Circle Magic. It truly is an impressive improvement, Ancestor Crown, may I know your thoughts behind it?”

Lide smiled broadly, sharing his complete line of thought and approach for improving Mage's Hand under the curious gazes of the group.

Lide, unbound by traditional magical thinking of this world, astounded everyone with various ingeniously placed magic nodes. They marveled that such clever maneuvers were possible.

The questions and alternative improvement ideas posed by the group during this process also inspired Lide greatly, especially those from Emi, the strongest blasphemer whose questions were very tricky and targeted.

After a round of discussion, everyone gained a lot, and Lide also had new ideas for his improved magic, but there was no time for him to delve into research yet.

He drew the magic model of Mage's Hand on the blackboard and explained it thoroughly, to a group whose knowledge of magic was not far behind his own.

They learned quickly, as they were familiar with Mage's Hand, unlike those apprentices at the Crimson Mage Tower.

In just a few Sunshine Hours, the eight second-generation Bloodline had already solidified the improved magic model of Mage's Hand.

Lide nodded with satisfaction; the stronger the Bloodline's power, the happier he was.

He proceeded to share his second improved spell–Small Fireball.

If Mage's Hand won admiration, the improved version of Small Fireball left everyone in awe.

Especially when Lide himself demonstrated how to release dozens of fireballs in a matter of seconds, apart from Harrison and Augustine who had seen it before, a deep shock rose in the eyes of the others.

“Clan Leader, such rapid spellcasting speed is incredibly useful in sudden encounters on the battlefield.” Frey said gravely, having personally participated in the war a hundred years ago at Green City to encircle and suppress the Bloodline.

Although the Small Fireball was not very powerful, its exceedingly fast casting speed was a life-saving presence in emergencies.

A fraction of a second was practically instantaneous.

Emi, who had personally experienced the intensive and high-frequency fireball bombardment, had a slightly unnatural expression; he was overwhelmed by Small Fireball during that fight.

Even with the fact that he was seriously hurt and couldn't unleash his full strength at the time, the horrifying suppressive capability of Small Fireball was undoubtedly formidable.

He had even been contemplating ways to counter the Small Fireball these past days.

The conclusions he reached were few: one, use Instant Teleportation to leave the battlefield and cast spells from hiding; two, kill the opponent with magic before they could attack; three, wait until the opponent's magic power was exhausted.

But the last two methods were only effective against ordinary opponents. If he faced an enemy like Lide, with a seemingly inexhaustible supply of magic power, he would have no choice but the first, to flee the battlefield and cast spells from hiding.

While this was also a strategy, for a level 15 blasphemer, it was undoubtedly a disgrace.

This highlighted the role of Small Fireball in combat.

What intrigued him even more was how Lide could cast thousands of Small Fireballs while maintaining ample magic power.

Even if each Small Fireball only required 3 points of magic power, the thousands needed were enough to shame an Extraordinary Mage.
