Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2586 The Hidden Truth
Afterwards, Xia Duo adjusted the angle of detection, starting from this small square, and continued to explore a little bit outward.

There are passages around the small square, but three of them have been closed. If you want to explore, you need to reposition the projected perception field. Direct movement is not acceptable, and you may hit some protective mechanisms.

So Xia Duo controlled the perception field to enter through the remaining passage, and the first thing he noticed was the traces of dust on the ground.

Countless years have passed, and it seems that outsiders have never entered here. From the square to the open passage on one side, the dust distribution is very even, even if there is a slight ups and downs, it is completely in line with the state characteristics of the stone wall above.

If it is engraving, there will be more dust, and the more complicated the engraving, the more dust will fall.The smoother the surface, the less dust falls down, but no matter how much, there is always some.

Entering from the only open passage, passing through a not-so-long corridor, what Xia Duo saw was a place similar to a living area, with rooms built in the rock mass on the left and right, and a street in the middle.

The door of one of the rooms was open, and Xia Duo moved his perspective to see all kinds of ordnance scattered on the ground that had long lost their original style.

Most of these ordnance are simple in shape, even crude, but a few of them have appeared the complicated and exquisite decorations of "later" elves!

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo was shocked!
He thought of the legend about the origin of the elves in the northern lands. It said that elves are not native creatures on the main plane, but came from a more mature world. Only because of a disaster in that world, a small number of elves escaped. came out, and then gradually multiplied to the present.

However, judging from what Xia Duo discovered in this ancient secret place, this legend does have elements of truth, but the ancient elves may have hidden some of the more critical information, that is——

There is a high probability that there are local elves on the main plane, and the local elves have already begun to resist the dragon at that time.

Perhaps it was with the help of foreign elves that Dragon Madness was established, and the resistance succeeded in the end.It is also possible that the fusion of the two parties led to a breakthrough in a key technology, which eventually led to the establishment of Dragon Madness and the end of the Age of Dragons.

But no matter which one it is, the existence of native elves should be an indisputable fact!

But in the "later generations", the elves have all become aliens. This may be the pride of the outsiders, completely ignoring the normal survival strategy - pretending to be from the original plane, so as not to be rejected by the native creatures.

This may have been necessary to resist the dragon at that time, but after the successful rebellion completely obliterated the achievements of the local elves, this is indeed something that the elves can do now!
Of course, this may also be the price of integration.

However, Xia Duo did not delve into this issue. After all, countless years have passed since this matter, and he himself is not an elf, but when he continued to explore, an idea inevitably popped up in his mind——

Could it be that the wood elves are native elves?Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why wood elves are generally discriminated against in elf society!

And the druids, who raised the entire elf world, are still discriminated against. Perhaps the extraordinary power that the native elves first mastered was the druids!
Xia Duo couldn't help thinking of Atwood, the elder druid in the territory. Before that, the other party believed in the main god of elves to have natural holy power. After abandoning his belief, he immediately lost the holy power. However, under his guidance, Atwood found the real natural belief.

That is to perceive the will of nature and obtain the holy power directly from nature, not from God.

Perhaps the earliest Druids were also born in this way!

Xia Duo thought again that there might be moon elves who became druids in the elven society, but most of them were wood elves at the bottom, and the double-layer buffs of [Wood Elf] and [Druid] were stacked at the same time, no wonder they couldn't stand up .

And the golden elves have almost never produced druids. It's not impossible. Many golden elves are priests of the elves' main gods, and they can easily master the power of druids.

But they just don't do it, in order to show their unique status.

Even in Ilfaran, where almost all the people are gold elves, there are very few gold elves who are willing to be druids, and there are more fixed non-gold elves druid families, which really feel like eternal servants.

In addition, Ilfaron also imported druid magic scrolls from other elf countries to make up for the shortage in the number of druids. Most of the non-golden elf druid families also "imported" in this way.

After all, it may be more comfortable to be a dog in a big country than to be a king in a small country~
"It's really dark!"

After sighing, Xia Duo in the laboratory couldn't help but sneer again. If this part of the truth is made public, will the wood elves in the future gain some politically correct privileges in the elf world?

It is possible, after all, there are not a few wood elves, especially in countries other than Ilfaran, there are almost a large number of wood elves.

In future civilization competition, population will become a huge factor affecting development. Compared with humans, wood elves are at least a little closer.

After all, it has been used for countless years in the past, and it is easy to use. In order to continue to make the most of them, it is not unimaginable to improve their status and grant privileges (beyond ordinary moon elves and gold elves to a certain extent).

Anyway, no matter how great the privilege is, it can be ignored by the real ruler.

Xia Duo suddenly had a premonition that the Northland would be very lively in the future. Under such circumstances, he had to invest more in plane exploration.

……

Passing through a living block, Xia Duo's perception field projected into the folded space from his own plane has moved to another small square.

When he got here, seeing the clean scene different from what he had seen before, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel refreshed. He realized that he might have found the core of the secret place, at least near the core.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be even a speck of dust, and the entire square would be as clean as new, and the ground would no longer be the piercing dragon pattern just seen, but replaced with a magic pattern that clearly has the style of “later generations” or more precisely, the style of foreign elves. .

Xia Duo carefully distinguished, combined with the magic net and element status information fed back by the detection spell, it was determined that the magic lines here are just decorations and have no practical effect.

What it reacts is not a specific spell, but a collection of many elements, which outlines a killing image. It seems that even if there are differences in style, the hatred of the dragon from the foreign elves and the local elves is similar.

Perhaps this is also the reason why they were able to merge at first, but after the victory of the resistance, the foreign elves jumped above the native elves, and this continued for countless years.

"It's a pity that there is magic protection in front!"

Xia Duo did not control the perception field to enter the square, but passively received part of the detection information from the outside, and from his current position, there were only two passages facing the square, and the other was also sealed by magic.

In the other two directions beyond the two passages, on one side is a rock wall that is also protected by magic, and on the other side is a building that looks like a palace.

A torrent formed by a large number of strings of the magic net poured into the palace mightily from the ground, and spread it around like an umbrella.

Noticing this scene, Xia Duo immediately realized that even if the palace wasn't the Dragon Madness Control Center of Fortress Ferrez, it must have a great relationship with the magic net of the main plane!
