Chapter 1843: Water Flows and the Channel is Formed, Entering the State
Mentioning the serious business, Ougesi returned to his original seat, and ignoring Saijisi's dissatisfied gaze, he took back the Golden Page that the other had just taken away.
Together with the nine pages in his own hand, he handed them to Xia Duo: "Asuosi, it is better for you to keep these secret scrolls yourself!"
Xia Duo took the Golden Page and passed it back to Saijisi, "The serious business I wanted to discuss might also make use of these secret scrolls; it is the same if they are kept by Saijisi."
"You want to participate in the Mythallar construction?" Saijisi asked in surprise, holding the Golden Page in his hand.
Mythallar construction is by no means an easy task, especially since Evereska still has an Old Mythallar that has been modified beyond recognition by various parties.
To build Evereska's own Mythallar, the first major difficulty to face is how to clear the Old Mythallar; this not only requires reclaiming Mythallar Permission from various parties, but in reality, some permissions have long been lost and can only be forcibly cracked.
Saijisi, who is in charge of the Mythallar project, had long been very dissatisfied with the shortage of manpower, but the other Elders also have their own affairs to be responsible for and can only come to help when they have leisure time.
Now hearing that Xia Duo is interested in participating in the Mythallar construction, Saijisi himself is extremely welcoming; as for Ougesi, although he is a bit surprised by Xia Duo's choice, he will not deliberately obstruct it, and instead begins to solicit on Saijisi's behalf:
"Although I would very much like you to come and help me, the Mythallar construction indeed requires the participation of a high-level Mage like you, Asuosi. This time, I will not compete with Saijisi."
"Asuosi, are you really willing to come and help me?" Saijisi asked again.
"Of course," Xia Duo said with absolute certainty.
The current situation could be considered a natural result of the circumstances, which perfectly suited his wishes, so he added two more sentences: "I have a certain amount of research in the field of Mythallar; if I can be of help to Saijisi, that would be best."
Basically, as long as one is a high-level Mage, there is no one who does not understand Mythallar; the difference only lies in the depth of their expertise. In fact, being able to participate in this project is also a significant improvement for Xia Duo!
As the high-level Mage recognized in the Evereska Council of Elders as being in charge of the Mythallar project, Saijisi must have extraordinary attainments in this domain.
Regarding such an existence, Xia Duo would certainly not be arrogant enough to think that he could compete with a true professional just by having gained a little Knowledge of the Projection Plane.
Everyone has their own strengths, and there is no limit to learning.
……
After confirming that Xia Duo would participate in the Mythallar construction project, Saijisi also quickly entered the state, tentatively asking: "I wonder what Asuosi thinks of the current Evereska Mythallar?"
Although he knew that Asuosi had only arrived in Evereska yesterday, if one wants to truly participate in the Mythallar construction rather than simply acting as a tool Mage, even one day is enough to see some of the ropes.
Regarding this, Xia Duo did not shy away and said: "The current Evereska Mythallar is simply chaotic; various Mythallar Permissions are intertwined with each other. I seriously suspect that one day, if one is not careful, it will lead to a tragedy."
What Xia Duo was talking about is one of the current predicaments of Evereska; the Old Mythallar was not built by Ougesi and the others at all, but continued from the period of the Crown War.
Initially, the Jieti here was just a simple Jieti used for concealment. Later, whenever a refugee arrived, as long as they had the ability to modify the Jieti, they would add a few strokes according to their own wishes.
Thousands of years passed, and the Jieti evolved into a Mythallar, but because of the differing opinions of countless past participants, the Mythallar became incredibly bloated, and the Mythallar Permissions also became very chaotic.
Xia Duo could even say that as long as a Spellcaster who possesses older Mythallar Permissions has the intention to sabotage, it is simply impossible to guard against.
Therefore, if Evereska wants to be Evereska Independent, clearing the Old Mythallar is something that cannot be bypassed.
If the aid from various countries back then was the legal original shares of this listed company called Evereska, then the Old Mythallar Permissions are the company's senior executives in a realistic sense—and executives who hold both real power and shares.
Ougesi and these eleven other high-level Mages might hold some shares, and at this moment they control the company's administrative power, but there is still a long way to go before privatizing this listed company with complex equity.
……
Next, Xia Duo directly pointed out several conflict points of Mythallar Permissions he discovered while inspecting the city yesterday, and his answer made Saijisi nod repeatedly:
"Great, I am currently lacking an assistant like you!"
"I also very much hope to learn more things by your side, Saijisi!"
Flattery never fails; Elves are also very susceptible to this, especially when it comes from someone of the same status and position, it is even more well-received.
"Actually, I want to say that the key to clearing the Old Mythallar does not lie in the Mythallar itself, but in the complex relationships between the various forces outside the Mythallar. As long as these are resolved, clearing the Old Mythallar will only be a matter of time."
"Then, regarding the New Mythallar, do you have any ideas, Saijisi?"
This was the serious business Xia Duo truly wanted to discuss. No matter how complex or simple the clearing of the Old Mythallar was, his presence or absence would not change much.
Xia Duo did not care about these clearing processes at all; he only cared about how to smuggle his own agenda into the design process of the New Mythallar, so as to reduce the burden on himself when designing the Floating City Mythallar.
Fortunately, one is a Floating City Mythallar and the other is an Evereska City Mythallar; there are always similarities and commonalities. As long as he cleverly inserts some of the design requirements of the Floating City Mythallar, he can make the Elves work for him.
Of course, in this Projection Plane, he is also working for the Elves.
……
Inside the Reception Room, it had practically become a work progress sharing meeting for Xia Duo and Saijisi. Regarding Xia Duo's question, Saijisi did not hide too much:
"Regarding the New Mythallar, I have already been surveying the geography of Evereska, but the workload for a brand-new Mythallar design is very large. Up until now, I have only confirmed some basic requirements and have not actually started the design yet!"
Not started yet? That is simply wonderful!
Saijisi's answer could not be considered good news for a high-level Mage who sincerely wants to personally support and participate in the cause of Evereska Independent.
But for an interested party like Xia Duo, it was just right.
The difficulty of smuggling one's own agenda into a project that has just been initiated is far less than doing so in a project with a relatively complete framework.
How could Xia Duo not be happy!
If it weren't for the fact that laughing in this situation would be too strange, he would really want to cheer out loud. Now he could only suppress his surprise, pretend to be carefully considering, and offer some reasonable suggestions:
"You haven't started the design yet? That's fine, I will definitely hurry up. Actually, regarding the New Mythallar, I also have some immature ideas—"
As a city Mythallar, protection capabilities are definitely indispensable; this is basically a consensus among Mythallar designers, so Xia Duo offering some suggestions is not abrupt.
If Saijisi could perfect his suggestions, he would not mind applying them to the Floating City Mythallar.
In fact, if possible, Xia Duo would rather convert the entire Floating City Mythallar project into an Evereska Mythallar project.
For now, he would use the protection function to test Saijisi, and how to add more materials later would be decided according to the actual situation.
