Chapter 1880: Remnants of Aolishiaer

Under the introduction of Saijisi, Xia Duo met the envoys sent by the various nations of the Northland one by one; some would later announce a joint communiqué with Katunidede, while others were purely there to observe the ceremony.

Some were introduced to him by Saijisi, but more often, they would seize the gap between Xia Duo finishing a meeting to come forward and pay their respects.

After all, even for envoys of great nations, as long as they were not Mages, there was no need for Xia Duo to take the initiative to pay them a visit; even if they were Mages, it was not mandatory for Xia Duo to go and visit them.

The main reason he went to see some was out of respect for Saijisi, and in certain cases, the other party was also a Mage and an envoy of a nation, so they clearly would not take the initiative to come and pay respects to an avatar who did not even have a formal identity.

As for those envoys who took the initiative to come and pay respects, it was less out of respect for a Mage and more a matter of routine probing by diplomatic personnel.

In Xia Duo's understanding, diplomatic personnel were equivalent to legal spies; as long as they were not caught in the act, whatever they did was reasonable.

Xia Duo was merely going through the motions now, which was why he hated such boring occasions; he would rather personally attend a symposium where only Apprentices were present than attend a social occasion like this with Mages present in an avatar.

But these were all unavoidable; even on the Main Plane, a Great Arcanist had many things they could not help themselves with. If one could not break the rules, it was best to use these restrictive rules to temper a steadfast temperament.

At this moment, Xia Duo's consciousness was split into two halves; one part controlled the Force Field avatar to converse with the various envoys at Duli Guangchang.

The other part remained at Asuosi Manor as a Saint Form Avatar, pondering improvements to the Purification Plan while waiting for Shali to return with the summoned Wood Elves.

At the same time, he also set aside a portion of his consciousness to examine his inner self, truly pushing the "power" of his consciousness to the limit.

……

At the edge of the square.

Soon, it was time to introduce the envoy from Siluwende.

Even if he was unwilling, he had already met the other envoys, and it was truly inappropriate to leave out the Siluwende envoy on such an occasion, especially since the Siluwende envoy would also be announcing the joint communiqué later.

Saijisi looked at Xia Duo with some hesitation, and Xia Duo responded with a smile, signaling him to continue. Saijisi felt relieved in his heart at Asuosi's sense of propriety, and at the same time, he decided to just go through the motions later and absolutely avoid excessive conversation.

"Ambassador Ailinuo, let me introduce you. This is Mage Asuosi, who is also a future member of the Evereska Council of Elders."

"Ambassador Ailinuo, a pleasure to meet you." Xia Duo said with a calm expression.

He did not have much ill will toward Demon Descendants, nor, of course, much affection. At present, it was not certain whether Siluwende was controlled by Demon Descendants; although they had previously been quite opposed to Evereska Independent, they had now compromised, and Xia Duo would not go so far as to give the other party a cold shoulder.

"I have long heard that a mysterious Mage Asuosi had come to Evereska, but I had never had the chance to meet him. It is truly a pleasure to meet you today. I did not expect that you were actually a remnant of Maiyelita."

Ailinuo stared at Xia Duo's avatar with a complex look, lingering on the Maiyelita-style formal wear, and his words seemed to carry a great deal of emotion.

Xia Duo did not care much, nor did he deny it.

Although he was completely faking being a remnant of Maiyelita, he was, of course, faking it very convincingly; after all, "Asuosi" was a genuine Maiyelita Elf.

In reality, the initial establishment of Evereska had the support of Maiyelita, and during the Crown War, many Maiyelita Elves fled here; there were still many Elves in the city who considered themselves remnants of Maiyelita.

Additionally, Wuweilun gathered even more remnants of Maiyelita and even inherited part of Maiyelita's legacy.

This was not something shameful, nor was it a taboo.

Even now, many of the envoys from various nations were wearing Maiyelita-style formal wear; some were indeed remnants of Maiyelita, while others were purely following the trend.

After the Crown War ended, the further time went on, the more the nations of the Northland tended toward retro, worshiping ancient architecture, clothing, and most importantly, technology.

Among those vanished ancient Elf kingdoms, Maiyelita, famous for its Magic and art, was definitely among the most sought-after.

It even surpassed Aryvandaar.

Indeed, Aryvandaar was also pursued and worshiped by Elves; later generations identified it as an evil nation simply because it persecuted Mages and held the imperialist ideology of Golden Elf Supremacy.

In the eyes of those in power, the former might have been even more serious.

Besides that, the various nations not only did not abandon the powerful War Magic Artifacts left behind by Aryvandaar, but instead vied to pursue them.

Not to mention some pop culture, which had already integrated into the entire Northland, either actively or passively, during the conquest phase of Aryvandaar.

Xia Duo attending the ceremony in Maiyelita-style formal wear would not necessarily raise the ceiling of the image of Mages and Evereska, but it could at least maintain the floor.

However, the attitude of the Siluwende envoy made him feel somewhat surprised.

Xia Duo had originally thought that the Siluwende Elves, who considered themselves to have inherited the legacy of Aryvandaar, should behave more impulsively when facing remnants of the former Empire.

Unexpectedly, they were quite restrained; not only did they not show the slightest hostility, but Xia Duo even felt that the other party seemed to have some nostalgia for Maiyelita.

This was truly incredible.

Back then, Maiyelita was destroyed by Aryvandaar; even if they considered themselves conquerors and would not feel hostility, they shouldn't feel nostalgia!

Or could it be that Maiyelita's outstanding achievements in Magic and art had, in turn, conquered the descendants of those conquerors?

This was even more incredible.

Perhaps the other party was a Demon Descendant?

This thought suddenly popped into Xia Duo's mind. If they were a Demon Descendant, it might make sense; Demon Descendants originated from the ancient kingdom of Aolishiaer.

And although Aolishiaer was destroyed in the war between Aryvandaar and Ilisiri, at the time, Aolishiaer was actually an ally of Aryvandaar.

It was Ilisiri that took the initiative to attack Aolishiaer, and Aryvandaar was forced to go to war with Ilisiri; of course, by then, the tone of the war as a struggle between two powers was basically set.

Aryvandaar supporting Aolishiaer was more about not wanting its sphere of influence to be eroded bit by bit; the ally was only secondary.

By the same token, Aryvandaar attacking and even destroying Maiyelita, apart from the initial trade frictions, was later more out of the purpose of eliminating Ilisiri's allies.

Demon Descendants appeared among the remnants of Aolishiaer; Demon Descendants were hostile to all Elves who excluded them, and toward Aryvandaar, it might just be the fanaticism of a convert under awe.

And Maiyelita was indeed the center of Magic and art in the Elf World at that time, so it was entirely possible that it could arouse the nostalgia of the Aolishiaer Elves.

It was just that it had been at least five thousand years since the destruction of Aolishiaer; could the thinking, philosophy, and even aesthetic tendencies of the Aolishiaer Elves of that time still be passed down?

Xia Duo put a big question mark in his heart. In fact, no matter what identity this Siluwende envoy had, to him, it was all just passing smoke.

Whether he would even remember the other party after returning to the Main Plane was a question.

As for the present, after a brief exchange of pleasantries with the other party, Xia Duo went to the side with Saijisi to whisper.
