Lord of Arcane

Chapter 417
For the time being, imitating elf meditation is just an attempt by Xia Duo. With the attitude of giving it a try, he tried it before going to bed, and didn't spend too much energy on it.

However, if it is really feasible, substituting shorter periods of meditation for human beings for longer periods of sleep, as the elves do, is definitely more than just a few extra hours of waking time every day.

The most important thing is that elves can also think while meditating. Although this requires long-term and hard training, this ability to use time almost completely can be said to have surpassed the limitations of ordinary things!

Xia Duo is very envious of this ability, but he has nothing to do if he is not an elf. He can only keep trying to discover the mystery of meditation, so that humans can also meditate.

In addition, with regard to meditation, in some novels before time travel, it is often described as a cultivation method similar to internal strength or immortal cultivation. Through meditation, it can not only replace sleep, but also improve magic power or spiritual power.

Traveling to a real magical world, Xia Duo must have fantasies about this cultivation method, but here, he has never heard of meditation, or any other method that can directly and automatically improve strength as long as he practices. .

Perhaps in the future, Xia Duo can research it by himself, but now it is only an illusion. Even elves, it is impossible to directly and automatically improve their strength through meditation.

……

After breakfast, Xia Duo called out to Ta Ling while thinking about today's schedule:
"Taling, did Dewan read the perception training manual of the astral mage?"

"Executor Xia Duo, apprentice Devine has already seen it."

"Oh? So fast?"

Dialogue with Taling, depending on the authority of the interlocutor, the response mechanism of Taling is naturally different. For apprentices, Taling basically only responds mechanically, and does not respond directly to questions that are not within the authority or cannot be answered. Also reduces the next response time for apprentices.

But for a proxy authority like Xia Duo, Ta Ling can even answer some relatively abstract questions. For example, when Xia Duo said "so fast", Ta Ling immediately gave the answer——

"Executor Xia Duo, last night Devine went to the library after leaving the No. 025 research room, and has not left until now."

Laboratory No. 025 refers to Xia Duo's residence on the sixth floor of the Tower of Time.

"You haven't left until now?"

"Yes."

Xia Duo was a little surprised that Devine stayed up all night. This is a behavior that is not advocated in the "advanced society", and now Devine is working in the Tilak Research Laboratory, where there is already a working system similar to modern factories on the earth. .

Although there is no strict time standard, but the tasks are full, I just hope that he will not delay the work during the day.

Ask Tarling to send Dewan a cup of elf hot drink to boost his spirits, and Xia Duo is about to leave the Tower of Time.

……

Savile Town, Port.

The cargo ship led by Rodney has already left, but the Archmage Newman stayed in the east with his people, and there is still fun in the future!

Xia Duo came here naturally because he was planning to take the "Lucky Owen" to return to Linshui Village. Thain and Derrick came to see him off. Thain was considered a custom. Before Xia Duo left, he would also come to see him off.

Derrick was called by Xia Duo. Yesterday Xia Duo asked him to write down which merchants provided carriages for Rodney's people. This must be recorded in a small notebook.

However, when Xia Duo saw the names of the familiar chambers of commerce on the parchment that Derrick handed over, he felt a headache. These chambers of commerce just signed a fixed supply contract with the Tower of Time not long ago. The chambers of commerce.

"It's really a businessman's nature!"

Fortunately, there is no Mingshui Chamber of Commerce introduced by the princess, nor the local chamber of commerce. This makes Xia Duo feel better, so let's keep the accounts first!

Putting away the parchment, Xia Duo looked at Thain again, and asked patiently about the activities of the Moon Festival. The Moon Festival will be in a few days, and this is also the day when the moon is the roundest and largest in a year.

Of course, there are activities, but they are not as grand and grand as the Midsummer Festival celebrations. However, Xia Duo attaches great importance to any festival-related activities. There is a saying in his hometown, which is called "the major events of the country are the sacrifices and the soldiers."

The so-called "sacrifice" does not specifically refer to "sacrifice", but refers to group activities that unite people's hearts, which can be compared with war. Of course, in the ancient times of Xia Duo's hometown, group activities generally required sacrifices.

The Moon Festival is more important to Xia Duo, because this day is used by the Nether people to sacrifice their dead relatives. It is similar to the Ching Ming Festival in his hometown. In his eyes, this is more important than the Midsummer Festival. many.

What's more, there is a "full moon" hanging above the head.

The new order of the Great Xia Territory includes not only the material level, but also the spiritual level. In a sense, Xia Duo pays more attention to the spiritual level.

He hopes to make the surrounding environment more intimate.

"Mayor Thain, you just said that Bishop Ambrill and Priest Tus will preside over the sacrificial ceremony together?"

"Yes."

"Is that so-"

"My lord, what's the problem?"

"No!" Xia Duo waved his hand, skipping the topic.

Even though it had been a long time since he traveled, he still subconsciously opposed the Lord of Radiance and the Lord of Death. The truth is—the gods did not conflict, and their believers did not fight either.

Even the two parties can jointly preside over the sacrificial ceremony.

"By the way, I heard that during the Moon Festival last year, a group of elf dancers came to Savile to lead them?"

What Xia Duo was talking about was actually the "Elf Dance" at the Adventurer's Bar. At the Moon Festival last year, he was pulled over by Edric to have a look, but he was not an elf, but a "half elf".

However, since Xia Duo has been to the projection plane several times, compared to him, it has been a long time since the last moon festival. If it wasn't for the moon festival, he would have almost forgotten about it.

Hearing this question, Thain subconsciously took a step closer and whispered, "My lord, that's not an elf!"

"Half-elf?"

"My lord, you describe this word really well!" Thain first patted his ass, and then explained, "They just look like elves, but they are actually human beings. They are the descendants of humans and elves. About these half Elf, Derrick knows more than I do."

"Derrick?"

"grown ups."

Seeing that Xia Duo turned his eyes to himself again, Dai Li quickly replied, "Netheril and Yeerlan were very close in the early years. Most of the mothers of these half-elves are Netherese, and a few are elves, but the elves society is very different. These half-breeds cannot be tolerated, even if they are born, they will be abandoned in Netheril, and now most of the half-elves in Netheril live in the August Land, because the first generation of lords there are half-elves."

August Collar?
Mentioning this name, Xia Duo immediately thought of a visitor from the Tower of Time that he had received—Wild August. The mage from August left a very deep impression on Xia Duo.

Apart from the fact that he wanted to buy the Arcanist Aquiline who was captured by the Tower of Time, the most important thing was that Shaduo "smelled" a cold aura mixed with blood from Wilder.

This is the second conceptual existence that Xia Duo perceives. The first is the "moisturization" and "flow" on the path of elements in the ruins of Misuo, which is extremely impressive.

In addition, Aiwa mentioned before that he once received professional wanderer training in August Land.
