Arcane Lord

After dinner, Shado refused the guide service of the elf waiter, left the "Oken Hill House" hotel alone, and went to the lower floor from the east trail.

In a dark corner, Shado briefly blocked the surveillance of Mystery Lock, changed his image to a local elf aristocrat, and then passed through the lower floor of the Mellon Market, which was obviously more lively than the upper floor, and came to the southernmost end of the market. .

Here, ships can be summoned to and from the Manda water system in the city. Shado plans to take a night tour of Everiska. Of course, the main purpose is to observe the locks.

From the Mellon Market to the south, there is a swordsmanship academy called "Taltat", but it is impossible to go directly from the lower level, and you need to go from the suspended walkway on the upper level.

If time is free, Xia Duo also plans to spend more time in the city. The so-called Sword Art Academy is not a place similar to a technical school on Earth, but a training institution for nobles and mages.

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

The real mage is usually a family inheritance, or a small number of masters, apprentices, and vassals, and there are very few public lectures.

Generally, the elves and civilians have extremely limited ascending channels. When they are underage, they must prepare for entering the Magic Academy or the Battle Academy.

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

If you can't, then wait until after graduation to work in the workshops or shops of nobles or mages, or join the army. During this period, you may also be exposed to real magic, but the chances are extremely small.

And if you can't even graduate from the Magic Academy or the Battle Academy, it's almost the only way to become a Druid.

As for playing art, it is only affordable for the aristocrats who have no worries about food and clothing, or even the class of mages. The commoners can only passively accept the aesthetic education of the upper class, and 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 few accidents happen.

Of course, it is still possible for a civilian family to accumulate two or three generations to open a small shop, or to gain the eyes of the powerful, and it is also possible to suddenly rise.

But that's all, there is no magic inheritance, and after two or three generations, everyone will be wiped out.

…

As the boat started, Xadoan leaned against the cushion at the stern and looked up at the sky. The sky at this time was the real sky, not the fake sky simulated by the spell in the "Quiet Bamboo Garden" just now.

But it is such a seemingly vast sky with countless constraints, separated by layers of mystery, giving people an indescribable sense of depression.

At this moment, Shado substituted himself into the identity of an ordinary commoner of Everisca, living in such an almost immutable society, seemingly carefree, but lost the most precious freedom of development.

The life of an elves that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years may not be as wonderful as a middle-aged human adventurer!

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

…

While observing the mysterious lock with the permission of the mysterious lock, Xia Duo's thoughts also drifted far away, and after a while, the ship sailed to the vicinity of the Dawning Square.

When he first came in the afternoon, he didn't choose the way of Dawning Square, and now he still sees Dawning Square, even though he had been here last year.

The magic ship was unhappy and dissatisfied with its automatic sailing. Xia Duo noticed that a strangely shaped sculpture had appeared on the edge of the square. From his angle, it looked like a thick tree root with many branches.

After checking the information on the lock, I learned that it was a commemorative sculpture for the establishment of the Northland Alliance. The main shape is that the hands extended by the representatives of the thirteen countries are held together. After a certain artistic processing, it has become a sculpture that looks like a tree root.

…

After passing Dawn Square, Xia Duo followed the river all the way to the south, and soon came to the Morning Light Pool. When he came here last year, he and a few companions had come here by boat under the leadership of the elf Lunaxis.

It's just that they came from the waterway on the north side of Morning Light Pool, and after arriving at Morning Light Pool, Lunaxis involuntarily controlled the boat to the east, which is the direction where Shado is now - Dawning Square.

He did not take advantage of the situation to go to the river channel south of the Morning Light Pool.

Last time, Sado came to speculate that the Everisca Mystery Lock is mainly based on the Manda Water System, and there is another more important node hidden in the south of the morning light pool.

So this time, he, who has the authority, did not go north from Morning Light Pool to Sky Garden, but chose to drive south.

According to Lunasis, the Morning Light Pool is a natural hot spring, and it was not easy to refute it last time, but this time, he clearly knew that this was an important node of Everiska's lock.

The Morning Light Pool is not open at night, which is convenient for Xia Duo. Otherwise, even if he is playing an elf noble now, it would be too blinking to go to the south so rashly.

As for the patrols in the air, due to the distance, Xia Duo can easily block their perception with the help of the Mystery Lock. As long as he doesn't mess around, there will be no problem.

…

As the boat slowly moved forward, Xia Duo soon felt that some positive energy was transpiring and dissipating above the river surface. When he was in the Morning Light Pool, there was also positive energy dissipating, but it only existed a little above the river surface.

Not as high as the edge of the boat.

But now, Xiaduo is surrounded by dissipated and free positive energy. If UU reading www.uukanshu.com hadn't really been teleported through the plane, he would have thought that he had arrived at a different plane dominated by positive energy.

Slowing down the speed of the boat, Xia Duo reached out and talked in the river. The water temperature was a little colder than that of Morning Light Pool just now, and the temperature got lower the further south you went.

But positive energy concentration is just the opposite.

Xia Duo only traveled south for less than 200 meters, and the river water here is no different from the ordinary holy water sold by the Saville Leader Temple, but if you continue to go south, the positive energy concentration will continue to rise.

Generally speaking, positive energy represents the essence of life. A positive energy environment suitable for concentration can prolong life. However, in a high concentration of positive energy environment for a long time, people will be excessively radiant and life expectancy will be reduced.

Xia Duo blessed himself with a set of [Resist/Absorb Energy Damage·Positive Energy] spells and moved on. Soon, he saw the end of the river—

It was a miniature oval lake about 100 meters long and 50 meters wide.

That is, before he fully entered the pool, he received a mysterious lock prompt - no passage ahead.
