Chapter 1917: Meeting Yintewa

Thinking of this, Xia Duo realized that the number of things he needed to trade for on this trip had increased. Given this, he did not immediately contact the person in charge on the Wuweilun side, but instead wandered around this Tashalisi Cheng, attempting to discover more Ancient Magic Artifacts or lost techniques that could be brought back to the Main Plane.

However, he was still maintaining the image of "Mage Laier" during this visit. After wandering for half a day, Xia Duo could no longer stand the feeling of being watched sneakily, and beside a garden, he pointed out the monitor's tracks:

"Take me to see Coronal Yintewa!"

"Ah—"

The monitor was caught off guard by Xia Duo's sudden Sending, but soon reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to salute:

"Respected Mage Laier, I am here on the Coronal's orders to welcome you. Seeing that you were enjoying your tour of the city, I did not come forward to disturb you."

"Alright, I know!" Xia Duo impatiently interrupted the other party's explanation and proposed again, "Take me to see the Coronal!"

"Please follow me, sir!"

Seeing that Xia Duo's attitude was firm, the monitor said nothing more, immediately called his companions, and in the blink of an eye, assembled an honor guard, leading Xia Duo toward the tallest tower-like building in the city.

As they walked, another Envoy accompanying them began to introduce the library that was rumored to contain all the Knowledge of the Elf World to Xia Duo.

Official introductions naturally differed from rumors. According to this Magic Net Envoy, although the library did not contain all the Knowledge of the Elf World, it possessed, without exception, all the Knowledge of Wuweilun.

It was just that Xia Duo noticed that when this Magic Net Envoy introduced Yintewa's library, several of the monitors who had turned into Envoys accompanying them all wore complex expressions.

This could not help but make Xia Duo have a bit of understanding of a rumor he had once heard in Evereska, which claimed that Coronal Yintewa was extremely thirsty for Knowledge and would always use various means, even seizing by force, to obtain new Knowledge within the realm.

If the library were not also open to the public, perhaps Coronal Yintewa's rule would have been overthrown long ago, but even so, there were still a large number of opponents within the country.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo could not help but ask: "I wonder if I can look up some information in the library?"

"I am very sorry, Lord Laier, I cannot answer this question for you. This requires a decision from the Coronal or even the Council of Elders. However, in past history, there have been no lack of examples of outsiders obtaining Permission Level for searching and reading."

So it is not open to the public!

Xia Duo was very clear about the other party's subtext, but just thinking that in the Main Plane, such a building that gathered the essence of a nation's Wisdom had not been preserved, it was truly a pity!

And in 【Projection Plane: Cormanthor Birth】, after the fall of Wuweilun, Jielunsita, including the later Cormanthor, discovered quite a few library ruins in the remains of Wuweilun.

Even until the eve of Xia Duo's departure from that Projection Plane, news of new library ruins being discovered kept coming, which showed that the title of the Land of Scholars was indeed well-deserved.

……

Soon, Xia Duo's group arrived near the library, but they did not enter the library directly from the ground; in fact, there was not even a door on the ground.

Under the guidance of the Magic Net Envoy, Xia Duo boarded an Elevator from beside a shorter tower nearby and ascended to the Xuan Kong Budao connected to the library before he could be considered to have taken the right path.

Classical Elf cities were such multi-layered structures. Evereska in the current era had not yet developed to that extent, but in the Main Plane, it was already like that.

While trying as much as possible not to change the terrain, vegetation, or buildings, one could only develop toward high-rise buildings. Xia Duo guessed that this might be an inevitable trend to adapt to the development of the Mythallar.

……

After entering the library, Xia Duo once again expressed that the rumors from the outside world were unreliable. The rumors mostly talked about how rich the library's collection was, but rarely mentioned that this was actually also the place where the Coronal of Wuweilun lived and worked daily.

Xia Duo met Coronal Yintewa in a semi-open grand hall. As long as he turned his head slightly, he could see the vast forest in the distance that looked like a sea of green, with some settlements scattered sporadically within it.

Even Elves could not completely merge with the forest; in the process of developing civilization, they would inevitably cause changes to the forest.

Even Taiweimansa, which was known as a city on trees, was the only one Yierlan had; other cities were still built on the ground and needed to compete for land resources with other species in the forest.

It was just that Eaerlann Elves were better at manipulating trees and constructing natural tree buildings rather than stone or brick buildings; perhaps this was the traditional craft they inherited and carried forward from Shaerwen.

Of course, in the current era, Yierlan had not yet appeared. The so-called city on trees was more of a fantasy of expanding the concept of treehouses, and there were no real cases.

As for this tall tower in front of him, Xia Duo saw the fusion of the ancient and the modern in it. If nothing went wrong, Wuweilun might really be able to unify the Elf World in the future and merge all races into one.

It was just a pity that everything in the Main Plane was a thing of the past.

However, this Projection Plane had solved the biggest crisis of Demon Descendant infiltration. As long as no other destruction crisis appeared again, perhaps it could accomplish the cause that Wuweilun in the Main Plane failed to do.

As for what other destruction crises there were, there were certainly quite a few. To say nothing else, the birth of Cormanthor itself originated from the Drow's surprise attack on the countries of the Listar Forest.

The heavy losses of various countries were also an important reason for the birth of Cormanthor; otherwise, everyone was living well, and Coronal Osons would have to be bored to death to prophesy a sole True King and hand over a large amount of benefits.

Perhaps in this Projection Plane, the future birth of Cormanthor would not just be the remnants of Wuweilun, but could even be the merger of the wounded Wuweilun and Jielunsita.

At that time, Akaola would probably not be able to escape, and the Listar Forest might be directly unified, which might further confirm Coronal Osons' prophecy.

In other words, the Cormanthor of this Projection Plane would have a smoother start than the Cormanthor of the Main Plane and would have a better chance of unifying the Elf World.

But there were also many variables in this Projection Plane; Arcane Energy Elves were one, Demon Descendant Elves were another, and even whether the Drow would appear was a question.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo's desire to leave became more urgent. If he returned early and the Cloud Qi was good, he might be able to enter this Projection Plane a second time.

That way, he might be able to see the subsequent evolutionary history of this Projection Plane, and this could also provide valuable reference for his next Projection Plane journey.
