Lord of Arcane

Chapter 399 Elf Papermaking

Training Camp.

Tyron was somewhat surprised by Ryan's arrival. These underage elves usually only come to receive training in the morning, and the afternoon is completely for play and entertainment.

He rarely saw an elf coming to him in the afternoon. In this case, he usually asked for something, "Little guy, what can I do for you?"

"Lord Tai Lun, I heard that there is a library of the Lord of the City in the Silver Light Pagoda. I want to go in and take a look." Xia Duo said directly what he wanted.

Under normal circumstances, who would have thought that Ryan, the elf, had already changed his core!

"Silver Light Tower?" Tai Lun hesitated, not because he was reluctant to give permission, but because he was worried that Ryan would encounter an accident inside. You must know that the Silver Light Tower can be connected to the underground world.

It is not a day or two for those damned fallen to attack the Mithril Mine. From time to time, news spread that an elf was assassinated by drow assassins in the Silver Light Tower.

After thinking about it, he didn't refuse, but just said, "Well, I'll take you there."

Tyron thought of Ryan's parents who had fought with him. He couldn't let Ryan be in danger. Since the little guy wanted to go to the library, he would personally protect him.

It's just that Tai Lun's company is a little troublesome for Xia Duo, but he finally achieved his goal, and he doesn't want to make any more troubles.

"Thank you, Lord Tyron."

……

Soon, Xia Duo came to the Silver Light Tower again, but this time with Tai Lun's company, the patrolling soldiers did not stop him.

After entering the Silver Light Pagoda, Xia Duo found that it was different from the Mage Tower. There were few magic circles similar to those in the Tower of Time, and there was no room for expansion.

This place is more similar to an ordinary tower, except that there are miniature mystic locks inside, and the effect is almost nothing. It only has a simple alarm function, and does not have the complex functions similar to the Tower of Time.

There are two spiral stairs in the tower, which spiral upward along the inner wall of the Silver Light Tower. While walking, Tai Lun also introduced to Xia Duo:

"The underground is the mithril mine, the first, second and third floors are the rotating soldier camp, and the library is on the fourth floor, which is where we are going now."

"What else is there?"

"Of course the above is the residence of the general and the city lord, and you will get your due position here in the future!"

"Then Lord Tyron, you—"

"Me too, but because I have to take care of you little guys, I usually live outside."

Afterwards, Xia Duo stopped talking, but looked forward to watching the stairs in front of him run down a little bit, getting closer and closer to the destination.

After a while, the two came to the fourth floor.

Of course, the fourth floor is not just a library, it seems that there is also a leisure place. Xia Duo saw a few elves chatting while drinking, looking very leisurely.

After he entered the library, he found that Tyron did not follow him in, but went to drink with other elves.

However, this is convenient for Xia Duo. If there is someone staring at him all the time, he will feel very uncomfortable.

The books in Silver City are different from the previously projected books in Sukan Wisa City.

Mainly in terms of material, the books in Sukanvisa City are magically treated with some kind of leaves, and the whole sheet is cut out, and the veins of the leaves can be clearly seen on each page.

And the books in Silver City seem to be—ordinary paper?
Xia Duo carefully kneaded a corner of the paper in the book, and found that it was indeed very similar to the feel of ordinary paper on earth, without the unique feel of parchment or leaf paper.

Elves have papermaking skills?
Xia Duo didn't doubt it. After all, Netheril can make paper. It's unreasonable that the elves can't do it after so many years of development. It's just that the effect of this paper is a bit too outstanding.

After opening several books in a row, there is no obvious difference in the materials inside, as if they are industrial products produced on the assembly line.

Looking at all kinds of books with roughly the same specifications in this library, Xia Duo's first thought was to popularize knowledge.

Then there is the magic scroll, if this kind of paper can make magic scrolls, combined with printing, it can even mass-produce semi-finished magic scrolls, reducing the mage's work to the last step - linking the magic net.

Then the cost of the magic scroll will definitely be reduced.

For a while, Xia Duo felt itchy in his heart, wishing to carry out the experiment immediately, but he had to make full use of it when he finally came to the library.

The next time I will find Tai Lun to accompany me, I don't know when it will be.

In the library, there are a large number of books, most of which are arts, such as poetry, literature, music, etc. There is very little magic.

In other words, magic is also classified as an art category, which only accounts for a part of the overall, and many of them are mixed with other arts, so it is troublesome to distinguish them.

For example, this "Sixteen Variant Forms of Poetic Structures in the Fourth Lissa Period of Maierita" looks like a book of poetry, but it actually contains quite a few magical principles.

Many of the elves' poems can be related to magic. Of course, with such an obvious title, Xia Duo doesn't need to examine it in detail. It can be basically confirmed that it has nothing to do with refining mithril.

But if it is a book like "Travel of the Underground World", "Quest for the Son of the Rock" or "Jewelry Skills", then you have to check it carefully, maybe there is a page that records the method of refining mithril!

Silverlight City doesn't have any kind of specialized technical books here, like "Postpartum Care of Sows" on Earth, they all like to turn several corners.

However, the previously projected Sukan Visa City had special magic books. Although Xia Duo didn't know whether the elves on the main plane were the same, but judging from the projection plane, the decline of elves was not unreasonable.

In addition to the loss of a large number of people in the crown war that lasted for thousands of years, this almost self-castration practice may also be an important reason.

Until late at night, Xia Duo still failed to find a way to refine Mithril, but Tai Lun had sent a message to urge him to leave, and Xia Duo had to give up temporarily.

He will find a way to come here in the future, but fortunately, he planned to make full use of the time in the projection plane to increase his spellcasting level.

Although you can't upgrade here, you can fill up the current "experience points". When you return to the main plane, a freshly baked high-level mage will appear.

As long as there is no sudden dissolution of the projected plane, there will be plenty of time.

……

After leaving the Silver Tower, Xia Duo and Tai Lun returned to the training camp together. This is not only a place for training, but also a place for eating. Most war orphans would eat here if they had no relatives and friends to take care of them.

After simply eating some bread and barbecue, Xia Duo was ready to go home. As for nightlife, there was no such thing as Silver City.

And he doesn't want to waste time.
