Arcane Lord

For Xia Duo's project outsourcing request, Cliff did not refuse, but he also specifically mentioned that he did not plan to conduct any research that would consume God's grace in the near future.

Of course, Xia Duo understood what Cliff meant, but he could only study in the purely arcane field, so he couldn't say much about it, after all, he was asking someone to do something.

As for Iolum and Savile, Xia Duo just mentioned it. Both of them knew about the grievances between him and Zamdas, and Savile was a witness, so they didn't refuse.

Even shortly after Xia Duo ended the communication, Iolum sent someone to send him a set of evasion detection plan for his own use, including a series of spells, rituals, items, and even some spiritual equipment, so that Xia Duo was a little moved.

…

After dealing with the outsourced distribution of the evasion detection spell, Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief, but then he rubbed the sapphire ring on his left index finger and came to the secret place of the Maired family on the air elemental plane.

Of course, the surname here is Xia now, and Xia Duo named it "Ballad Fortress".

This is a white fortress built in the howling winds, with a typical Calinshanian pointed arch and dome style. Although it cannot move independently, it does not prevent it from moving around under the endless wind of the primitive wind elemental plane. wandering.

Standing on the small platform at the entrance of the fortress, Xia Duo didn't even shake a single strand of hair, and the endless wind outside the fortress dissipated into nothing when it approached a certain range of the fortress.

This is not magic, but the instinct of the elemental essence hanging in the fortress hall.

Farther away from the eye of the storm, there is a peaceful scene, similar to the clear space of the [Azurite Plane] water body. Occasionally, there is a cloud blown by the breeze, changing into various shapes.

From a distance, the eye of the storm where the Storm Fortress is located is indeed in the shape of an eye, with a hollow inside, and lightning bolts are pulled out from the middle from time to time, and the periphery is extremely wide. Judging from the activity of the wind element, it looks like a drop of ink falling A huge ink mark that spreads out when it enters the water.

And around the huge "outer eyelid" of the eye of the storm, there is less water vapor. With the rotation of the eye of the storm, it sometimes gathers into rain and sometimes dissipates into gas.

A phenomenon similar to the transformation of gas, cloud and rain can also be observed on the main plane, but it will not be as intense and fast as on the elemental plane.

Overall, this plane is not too big, and certainly not too small. It is about the same size as [Azurite Plane]. The whole plane is empty, and the most conspicuous thing is the eye of the storm in the center.

After about two rounds of observation, Xia Duo was quite surprised to find that there did not seem to be any elemental creatures in this plane. Perhaps the Maired family had cleaned it up a long time ago, and it has not had time to be born yet.

He had seen a lot of wind elemental mounts when he was in Calimshan before, and there was also a family secret here, and the Maired family might have cleaned it up a long time ago, or even cleaned it regularly.

Of course, there is another possibility that the necessary conditions for the birth of elemental life are missing here, but this possibility is extremely low.

Elemental life is different from flesh and blood life. As long as the corresponding element is thick enough, elemental life will be born. Elemental planes can be born on the main plane, and this primitive wind elemental plane is more suitable.

"At least leave me one or two elemental mounts!"

The platform outside the Gale Fortress is almost the same as the wind element docking platform in Calinshan Cloud Palace. It is conceivable that the wind element mounts may have been docked here before.

And elemental creatures don't need to eat, so it doesn't take much to keep one or two.

Of course, Xia Duo just casually complained, and he still likes the gift or return from the Merede family very much. If there is a need in the future, he can also ask the other party to send someone to help him stock up and tame the wind element.

…

After standing outside the fortress for a while, Xia Duo returned to the fortress hall, and the elemental spirit hanging above was shining. It can be said that the reason why the fortress can stop here safely is thanks to it!

In other words, leaving aside the knowledge in the library, most of the value of this fortress may be this elemental essence.

This thing is only available on the elemental plane. It is the essence of an elemental creature. If you kill an elemental creature, you may get its essence, which is similar to the soul of a human being.

But different from the human soul, as long as the elemental spirit comes into contact with the corresponding element, it will gradually recover. Although it may not be the same elemental creature as before, this ability still greatly enhances the survival ability of the elemental creature.

In other words, as long as the restrictions on the elemental spirit above the hall are released and thrown outside, a powerful wind elemental creature can be created very quickly.

Of course, the quick here is from the perspective of elemental creatures. For human beings, it is at least calculated in months and years.

Right now, the Storm Fortress is still useful to Xia Duo, and he will not give it up just because he wants to see the rebirth of elemental creatures. His curiosity is not that strong.

If you really want to see it, there are elemental spirits in some of the gems originally stored here, and you can go back to the Tower of Time, take them out of the warehouse, unseal them and throw them into the elemental pool.

In addition to gems, valuables such as gold and refined instruments have been sent to the Tower of Time for storage. At present, there are only paintings, sculptures, tapestries, etc. that may be precious but are not suitable for sending to the Tower of Time. The artwork, Xia Duo kept to decorate the Floating Void City.

As for the purpose of his trip—the library, it is temporarily kept in its original state because it has not been sorted out in time. When he sorts it out, it will be sent to the Tower of Time for archiving or reprinting.

…

Go up to the second floor from the left side of the "T"-shaped staircase in the innermost part of the hall. The first door is the library. Although it is small in size, it is almost full of books.

There are three main types of books. One is the regular book bound with elf paper or parchment that Xia Duo is most familiar with. The other is relatively primitive leather, and finally it is a scroll distinguished by ribbons of different colors.

Looking at the room full of books, Xia Duo suddenly thought of a question, he seems, should, maybe - he can't speak Calishan!

Although he also found some elven characters, but after all, they are a minority, and most of them are Calishan characters.

"At this time, we can see that Qin Shihuang is doing well!"

After making a casual remark, Xia Duo began to flip through the books here one by one. Although he didn't know or understand most of the words, he was able to trace his memory, "download" them first, and then slowly translate them.

It is said to be "slowly", but in fact it does not take much time. Mojave, the Zamdas who is doing trouble in Calimshan, understands Calimshan language~www.readwn.com~ and Xia Duo previously Although the analysis of Mojave's consciousness did not use the Calishan language as a clue, it was inevitable to come into contact with a large amount of information related to the Calinshan language, and of course the Zamdas language.

After "downloading" the books here and returning to the main plane, he will use the Calishan language as a clue to reorganize the analyzed Mojave consciousness information, and he will be able to quickly learn the Calishan language.

This is how he learned Elven language. Without the experience of becoming an elf in the projected plane, it is impossible for him to get started so quickly and even master Elvish language.

Mojave is also different from his previous incarnations.

Elvish is the mother tongue of the elves, and they themselves speak it more instinctively; while the mother tongue of the Mojave is not Calishan, learned later.

It might not be possible for Xiaduo to master Calishan with this method, but if you want to get started, is there anything better than learning from this first-person perspective?
