Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2566 Arrival of Akoala Artist

Hearing the lord's inquiry, Lawrence immediately reported the recent events, "Since I talked with the lord last time, I have sent invitations to some of the Akola artists I met during the exchange, and most of them accepted the invitation, and In these days, they have come to the Great Xia Territory one after another."

"Tell me about their situation?"

"Currently, there are twelve Akola artists who have accepted the invitation, and ten of them have come so far. Most of them are engaged in poetry and drama creation. During my stay in Akola, I had a lot of exchanges with them."

Speaking of this, Lawrence paused before continuing to introduce: "I don't know if the lord has heard of the play "The End of the Tyrant". Although it has been banned in Akola, in the past, countless Akola The people have gained courage and confidence from it, and the author of this play is one of the twelve Akoala artists who accepted the invitation this time.”

"So you also met Kandy Raputesta in Akola, I've heard of him!"

Not only has he heard of it, but he actually respects it. Among the many artists in the Akola Kingdom, Xia Duo has the deepest impression on this Kandy Raputusta.

The "The End of the Tyrant" mentioned by Lawrence is not actually about the domestic affairs of Akoala, but a fictional story created against the background of Comanzo's coercion of Akoola into Comanzo.

The prototype of the protagonist is of course Cormanthor's King Elithel. It is conceivable how the Comanthor elves will react when they see or even hear about this play.

The bottom layer may not be able to see or hear it, but the king of Eliser must have a way to see it. It is said that the king of Eliser, who has always shown generosity, smashed his hands on the spot after watching this drama. Favorite play with accessories.

Of course, this "rumor" is likely to be deliberately fabricated and spread by Akoala, but it also shows the influence of this drama.

However, Xia Duo's respect for the Kandy Raputesta is not due to the influence of his works, but because he is not afraid of the power of Cormanthor and dares to fight against it.

And it's not just the work "The End of the Tyrant", many of Kandy Raputesta's works have a consistent theme, that is, resisting power and sympathizing with the bottom.

This is very rare!
Among the many artists in Akola, the one that Xia Duo wanted to invite the most was this Kandy Raputesta, but his current status was different from the past, so inviting him personally might cause unnecessary trouble.

Fortunately, Lawrence knew the other party, and invited the other party and agreed!

At this moment, Xia Duo is very much looking forward to what kind of works that Kandy Raputesta will create after seeing the Great Xia Law Code. For this respectable artist, Xia Duo feels that there is no restriction and he is free play.

"Who else?" Xia Duo asked again.

"There are also Simpati, Gratus, and Emika. These lords should have heard of their names."

"Yes."

Xia Duo sent Lawrence to Akoala for exchange or advanced study. Of course, he had to understand the domestic art environment of Akoola. After hearing these names, Xia Duo immediately understood what Lawrence's invitation was.

These artists have a similar tendency, which is to sympathize with the bottom.

Due to the weak national strength of Akola, the upper level hopes to unite the lower level to deal with external crises, but even so, the lower level is only better than Comanso, and if it is purely from the perspective of quality of life, it may not be as good!

This is probably the ecology of a small country!

Sympathy for the lower class can be said to be an important part of the Akola art genre, not only in the fields of drama and literature, but also in the so-called upper art fields-music, dance, painting, sculpture and other fields.

But if it is placed in the entire elf world, this has become a niche genre. The so-called upper-level art is more mainstream in the big countries. Not only is the form separated from the bottom, but the content has almost nothing to do with the bottom.

Occasionally it is relevant, but more often it shows the ignorance and ugliness of the bottom.

Xia Duo certainly does not want this so-called "mainstream art" to become the mainstream art of the territory, and even at the critical stage of the formation of the territory's culture, he would rather completely refuse these arts to enter the territory.

Of course, the main thing is to reject the content, and we should be more tolerant of the form of expression.

……

Next, Lawrence introduced many people one after another, and Xia Duo also had an impression. Of course, he was definitely not as impressed as that Kandy Raputesta.

Finally, Chateau asked Lawrence, "Which of these twelve artists have already submitted work?"

"There is none for the time being. They said that they need to see the real state of the territory first, and then decide what kind of work to create."

"Show them!"

Xia Duo gave instructions, "Let them watch whatever they want, and give them all the convenience we can give them as much as possible during their stay in the territory. But——

"One thing to keep in mind is that it's fine if they don't submit their works. As long as they submit, they will be carefully reviewed. For the first cultural and art festival, there are only two bottom lines-no fictional facts and no advocacy of evil.

"More will be discussed later."

Art censorship has advantages and disadvantages, of course, but at the moment, it is the most suitable weapon for Xia Duo to guide the development of the territory's culture.

Of course, the two bottom lines he mentioned also meant that other things were completely relaxed. He emphasized on explaining to Lawrence that in the cultural and art festival's process arrangements, it is necessary to highlight those related to the territory and show the positive image of the territory.

As for the others, it will not be completely abandoned, but it will not make it overwhelming.

……

Considering that the Akoala artists who just came to the territory are still collecting folk songs, in order to avoid extra pressure on them, Xia Duo did not choose to meet them now, but went back to the laboratory directly.

After that, it was the same as before, testing the lifting ring calculator while exploring the North Pole with the avatar.

Maybe he went out for a walk to change his mood. Less than an hour after he returned to the laboratory, Xia Duo's avatar discovered an abnormal element area in the North Pole.

Although this is not the first time such an elemental anomaly area has been discovered, after all, the [Elemental Scan] he made only inspected a very small part of the environment on the edge of the continent, and there must be some incomplete considerations.

But it is better to be able to find the abnormal area than not to be able to find it. As long as there is a discovery, the numerical settings of the detector can be corrected. If you are lucky, you will directly find the ancient fortress.

So Xia Duo was very happy every time he found an abnormal area of ​​elements, and this time was no exception.

But this time the discovery is a bit different from the previous ones. The abnormal areas discovered before are either special environments under the earth, such as ore veins and ruins that interfere with the elemental data of the ice layer above.

Either it is the mutation of the ice layer itself, such as the influence of elemental creatures, pure natural magic effects produced by the environment, and so on.

But this time is different from usual. [Element Scan] detects that the ratio of elements in the ice layer is unusually harmonious. This is very unusual, and there will be more or less a certain amount of disturbance in the natural environment.

In Xia Duo's view, the proportion of elements that is exactly the same as the surroundings is simply the way that there is no silver in this place!

There must be extra power to maintain such a ratio of elements!

Looking at the landform of this area—the cliff landform, it fits Xia Duo's judgment on the location of the ancient elf fortress. Realizing this, Xia Duo's heart suddenly became extremely hot:

"Is Ferrez Fortress here?"
