Chapter 1830: The Legend of Wuweilun

Thinking this, the once-vague plan in Xia Duo's mind gradually became clear. After dismissing that Gold Elf shopkeeper, he began casting spells again to probe the conversations of the guests in this tavern.

Of course, he did not forget to transform the essence of his avatar. Currently, the avatar Projection Spell he has mastered can be roughly divided into two categories: physical and phantom.

There are two of the physical type. One is the Astral Projection provided by the Seven Towers for him to extend the life of Crown King Akaola; it is called a projection, but it is actually a physical entity.

Moreover, among all the avatar Projection Spells Xia Duo has mastered, it is considered the most powerful one, aside from the Xilin avatar. The Astral Projection created by the spell is almost a one-hundred-percent replica of the original body.

If he were to forget that he had cast the spell after doing so, he might even believe that the Astral Projection was his own original body.

But this spell also has an inconvenient aspect: it must be created using the Astral Plane as a medium, within the Astral Plane, though it can of course return to the Material Plane at will afterward.

However, in a Projection Plane, Xia Duo is not certain if the Astral Plane is still that same Astral Plane, or merely an Astral Projection. In his many past journeys to Projection Planes, Xia Duo has almost never heard of a Projection Plane creature entering an Other Plane.

He guesses that perhaps the Astral Plane and Ether of a Projection Plane are merely composed of rules and do not actually exist; this could be explained as a natural defect of the Projection Plane, though he has not actually verified it before.

It is mainly because he is worried that the result of the verification would be exiting the Projection Plane.

Therefore, this time, Xia Duo will not transform into an Astral Projection, so among his physical avatars, there is only his self-created clone spell.

This spell uses a Force Field as material and illusion as a disguise; it can cast spells, but the drawbacks are also obvious: one is that it is easily seen through, and the other is that it is very easily destroyed.

In fact, if it were not for the fact that phantom-type avatars hinder spellcasting, he would prefer to use a phantom-type avatar; now he can only make do with a Force Field avatar.

No matter how easily it is seen through, it is still more low-profile than walking around in a Saint Form.

……

"Have you heard? The legend of the Yintewa Library!"

"It's just a legend, no need to take it seriously. I admit that Wuweilun did inherit some of the legacy of Maiyelita, but even Aryvandaar, which annexed Maiyelita back then, wouldn't dare claim to possess all the Knowledge of the Elves, let alone Wuweilun! Don't waste your energy on this!"

"But if we can't find the Zhigaochengcheng, the Star Shadow family will completely decline after two more generations."

"Legends are too ethereal. Instead of wasting energy on this, why not look at the recent Aifuruisi; find a generous Elder to pledge allegiance to. As long as you put in the effort, perhaps you could be granted the Zhigaochengcheng after two generations."

"It's not that easy. The threat from Siluwende is growing by the day, and it's not yet certain if Aifuruisi can successfully establish a nation. I am the only senior Mage left in the Star Shadow family, and I won't take such a big risk to pledge allegiance now."

"Then you are still thinking about the library of Crown King Yintewa? No matter what, Wuweilun has been a nation for thousands of years, no weaker than Siluwende. Just as you said, if the library of Crown King Yintewa possesses all the Knowledge of the Elves, then their strength can be imagined. You dare to set your sights on them!"

"Hehe, if it were just me, of course I wouldn't dare, but if—"

"Stop. I don't want to know who is behind you, and I don't want to get involved in such dangerous business. Let's just pretend we never met today!"

……

In a corner of the Linhe Jiuguan, Xia Duo silently deactivated his Perception Field. He did not expect that by casually entering a tavern, he would hear such explosive news.

The library of Crown King Wuweilun?

Xia Duo stroked the smooth chin created by the Force Field and illusion, falling into deep thought. Whether in the Main Plane or other Projection Planes, he is no stranger to the name Wuweilun.

This Elf Kingdom, which is said to have inherited part of the legacy of Maiyelita, had the reputation of being a "Kingdom of Scholars," only to perish suddenly in a sudden catastrophe.

When Xia Duo was in 【Projection Plane: Cormanthor Birth】, he had seen many Wuweilun survivors who had personally experienced that catastrophe. It is said that a meteorite fell from the sky at that time, destroying the entire kingdom in an instant.

Moreover, in that Projection Plane, Kaifumu Yilisheer—that is, the Yilisheer who would have become the fated True King of Cormanthor had Xia Duo not interfered—that guy was a Wuweilun survivor.

Xia Duo is not yet clear about the situation in the Main Plane, but he has also seen Wuweilun survivors in the Main Plane, on the very day the Northland Alliance was officially established, when the Wuweilun survivors challenged Yilisier Mianwang.

Only later did Yilisier Mianwang change his attitude toward the various races within the country.

As for Maiyelita, the city of 【Sukanweisa】 where Xia Duo was when he first entered a Projection Plane belonged to Maiyelita. At that time, Maiyelita could be said to be the center of art and Magic for the entire Elf World.

But unfortunately, artistic achievements and attainments in Magic cannot be completely equated to a country's combat power. In the war against Aryvandaar, Maiyelita was often on the defensive and occasionally needed help from Yilisiri in the south.

The two Elves Xia Duo just probed mentioned the library of Crown King Wuweilun in their conversation, which greatly interested him, because his goal for entering the Projection Plane this time, besides the Nether Scroll, also includes the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll.

The world-ending catastrophe of the Main Plane has always been the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head; only by finding a relatively complete Dragon Madness Secret Scroll is it possible to resolve this disaster.

When Xia Duo was extending the life of their Crown King in Akaola, he had obtained part of the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll, and through his interpretation of the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll, Xia Duo learned that when the Dragon Madness Mythallar collapsed, an ancient Elf Mage left behind a complete inheritance.

It is a pity that the inheritance in the Main Plane could not withstand the ravages of time and had long since fallen apart and scattered in all directions. Trying to collect a complete set of the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll in the Main Plane is almost harder than ascending to heaven.

But Xia Duo guesses that if the Main Plane has an inheritance left by ancient Elves, the Projection Plane should also have one. If he cannot collect it in the Main Plane, then he will go to the Projection Plane to collect it.

In the Projection Plane, the methods he can adopt will be far more flexible than in the Main Plane; if one Projection Plane cannot provide a full set, then he will just find a few more Projection Planes.

Conversely, because the Nether Scroll has a clear location of discovery, as long as the time is right, he can go directly to get the full set, and there are even two sets.

Therefore, since retrieving his power, Xia Duo has not gone to find the Nether Scroll first, but is prepared to first inquire about the whereabouts of the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll.

Of course, if possible, he also wants to investigate the origin of the Demon Descendant Elves. Although at this time node, Yierlan has not yet appeared, the Demon Descendant Elves did not necessarily appear only after the founding of Yierlan.

Everything has its germination; if he can find them at the germination stage, perhaps he can have a more intuitive understanding of their background.

Besides this, there is the Floating City Mythallar, which is almost the main purpose of Xia Duo entering the Projection Plane. But this task is very time-consuming, and Xia Duo is prepared to reasonably utilize the resources of the Projection Plane, just like he did in 【Projection Plane: Empire Remnants】 by utilizing the Research Institute, to find more Elf Mages to help.
