Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1623 The Lifetime Observation of the Elf Commoner
After dinner, Xia Duo refused the guide service of the elf waiter, left the "Oakenhill House" hotel alone, and went to the lower floor from the eastern trail.

In a dark corner, Xia Duo briefly blocked the monitoring of Mysuo, changed his image into a local elf nobleman, and then walked through the lower floor of Mellon Market, which is obviously more lively than the upper floor, to the southernmost end of the market .

Here you can summon ships to and from the Manda water system in the city. Xia Duo is going to take a night tour of Evereska, of course the main purpose is to observe the mythos.

Going south from the Mellon Market is a swordsmanship academy called "Taltat", but it cannot be directly passed from the lower floor, and it needs to be accessed from the suspended walkway on the upper floor.

If the time is loose, Xia Duo is also planning to take a few more laps in the city. The so-called swordsmanship academy is not a place similar to a technical school on earth, but a training institution for nobles and mages.

The Academy of Magic and the Academy of Combat are more like technical schools. The former does not teach advanced knowledge of spells, but rather trains various magic craftsmen, while the Academy of Combat trains swordsingers.

Real mages are generally inherited from the family, or a small number of masters and apprentices, and vassals, and rarely teach publicly.

Ordinary elf civilians have very limited ascension channels, and when they are minors, they have to prepare for entering the Magic Academy or Battle Academy.

If you are found to be talented during the academy, you may be attracted by some mages or nobles and learn real magic.

If not, then wait until after graduation to work in the workshops and shops of nobles or mages, or join the army. During this period, it is possible to come into contact with real magic, but the chances are extremely small.

And if you can't even graduate from the Academy of Magic or Battle Academy, then almost the only way left is to become a druid.

As for playing art, it is only aristocrats who have no worries about food and clothing, and even the mage class can afford it. Commoners can only passively accept the aesthetic education of the upper class. It is almost impossible to influence the upper class through art in turn.

Basically, an elf commoner, from birth to death, almost everything is arranged properly, and there are very few accidents.

Of course, it is still possible for a commoner family to accumulate two or three generations to open a small shop, or it is possible to rise suddenly after being favored by the powerful.

But that's all, without magic inheritance, after two or three generations, everyone will disappear again.

……

As the ship started, Xia Duo safely leaned on the cushion at the stern and looked at the sky. The sky at this time was the real sky, not the false sky simulated by the spell in the "Quiet Bamboo Garden" just now.

But it is such a seemingly wide and boundless sky, separated by layers of mystical locks, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

At this moment, Xia Duo put himself into the identity of an ordinary commoner in Evereska, living in such an almost unchanging society, seemingly carefree, but lost the most precious freedom of development.

An elf life that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years may not be as wonderful as a human adventurer who died in middle age!

After so many years of the Crown War, the elven society has become more and more conservative, and it is not even as open as it was ten thousand years ago. Perhaps this is also the reason for the decline of elven magic.

……

While observing Mysuo with the help of Mysuo authority, Xia Duo's thoughts also drifted far away, and after a while, the ship sailed near Dawn Square.

When he first arrived in the afternoon, he didn't choose the road of Shuguang Square, but now he finally saw Shuguang Square, even though he had been here last year.

The automatic navigation of the magic ship was not fast and dissatisfied. Xia Duo noticed a new sculpture with a strange shape appeared on the edge of the square. From his perspective, it looked like a thick tree root with many branches.

Only after checking the fan lock information did I know that it was a commemorative sculpture for the founding of the Northland Alliance. The main shape was the outstretched hands of the representatives of the thirteen countries. After certain artistic processing, it became a sculpture that resembled a tree root.

……

Passing the Shuguang Square, Xia Duo followed the river all the way south, and soon arrived at the Morning Light Pond. When he came here last year, he and a few companions came here by boat under the leadership of the elf Lunasis.

It’s just that they came from the waterway north of the Morning Light Pool at that time, and after arriving at the Morning Light Pool, Lunasis could not help but steer the boat to the east, which is the direction where Xia Duo came from now—the Dawn Plaza.

He didn't take advantage of the trend to go to the river south of Chenguang Pond.

Last time, Xia Duolai speculated that the Evereska Misuo is mainly based on the Manda water system, and another more important node is hidden in the south of the Chenguang Pool.

So this time, with authority, he chose to drive south instead of heading north from Chenguang Pond to Sky Garden.

According to Luna Hiss, the morning light pool is a natural hot spring, and it was difficult to refute it last time, but this time, he clearly knew that this was an important node of the Evereska Mysuo.

The morning light pool is not open at night, which is convenient for Xia Duo, otherwise, even if he is playing an elf nobleman now, it would be too blinking to go to the south so rashly.

As for the patrols in the air, because they are far away, Xia Duo can easily block their perception with the help of the Mystic authority. As long as he doesn't mess around, there will be no problem.

……

As the boat moved forward slowly, Xia Duo soon felt some transpiration and free positive energy began to appear above the river surface. When he was in Chenguang Pond just now, there was also a phenomenon of positive energy dissipation, but it only existed a little above the river surface.

Not as high as the side of the boat.

But now, Xia Duo is surrounded by dissipated and dissociated positive energy. If it wasn't true that it hadn't been transmitted through the plane, he would have thought that he had arrived at a different plane where positive energy dominated.

Moving the boat slowly, Xia Duo stretched out his hand to talk in the river. The water temperature is cooler than the Chenguang Pool just now, and the temperature gets lower as you go south.

But positive energy concentration is just the opposite.

Xia Duo only traveled less than 200 meters to the south, and the river water here is no different from the ordinary holy water sold by the Savile Ling Temple, but if he continues south, the concentration of positive energy continues to rise.

Generally speaking, positive energy represents the essence of life, and an environment with a suitable concentration of positive energy can prolong life. However, if you are in a high-concentration positive energy environment for a long time, people will be overly radiant and lose their lifespan.

Xia Duo blessed himself with a set of [resist/absorb energy damage, positive energy] spells and continued to move forward. Soon, he saw the end of the river——

It is a miniature oval lake about 50 meters long and [-] meters wide.

That is to say, before he fully entered the pool, he received a reminder from the mystic that no passage was allowed ahead.
