Chapter 1923: Wing Elf Legend, Returning

Besides the location of the Mythallar Control Center, the secret scroll also mentioned the location of a Cloud City, which belonged to the Wing Elf, one of the Elf branches, guarding the land from high above the sky.

That Cloud City originally belonged to an ancient sky race, but later that race was defeated in a war against dragons, and the Cloud City was also occupied by the dragons.

As the Elf were one of the final victors of the ancient race wars, that relatively intact Cloud City fell into the hands of the Elf.

Of course, that is not the point; the point is that the secret scroll mentioned that a complete set of the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll, or rather the "Dragon Rage Mythallar Maintenance Manual," is still preserved in that Cloud City.

It is just that the problem is the same as with the Mythallar Control Center: the geographical locations of the ancient era are no longer the same concept as today, not to mention that the Cloud City is in the sky—who knows if it will move.

Or perhaps it was damaged over the countless years of the past and fell into the sea!

After all, over the countless years of the past, Xia Duo had only seen the name of the Wing Elf in literature, and in the oldest Projection Plane he had ever visited, there was no sign of the Wing Elf.

If not for oral legends, written records, and even Magic Image, the Wing Elf might just be a legend.

Of course, Xia Duo had never seen image data of the Wing Elf; he only knew of the existence of the Wing Elf from some details in Elf social life, and the Elf themselves were very certain about the existence of the Wing Elf.

For example, the concept of "Five Races Prosperity," which the ancient Elven Kingdom rarely mentioned but which did exist.

In 【Projection Plane: Maiyuelita Sukanweisa City】, the great powers did not care much about this, but small countries and some nations where multiple races coexisted were very much into this.

The five races in the earliest Five Races Prosperity concept referred to the Gold Elf, Moon Elf, Wood Elf, Wing Elf, and the predecessor of most Drow—the Suri Elf.

It was just that after the defeat of Ilythiri, the Suri Elf were replaced by the Sea Elf; in reality, there was no such race as the Sea Elf, only various Elf races living in the sea.

If time were longer, perhaps some Elf would transform themselves into a new form adapted to the marine environment for convenience, but this is similar to Demon Descendant Elf and half-breed Elf, and is not accepted by the mainstream concepts of Elf society.

Although there are few Elf living in the sea, they are not non-existent; after all, they are a land race and cannot stay in the sea forever. Even if the living environment has been reshaped by a Mythallar, resources are still relatively scarce compared to the ground.

At least in the current era, the level of Elf Magic has not yet developed to the point where they can obtain all living and development resources from the sea.

In 【Projection Plane: Maiyuelita】, Xia Duo often heard news about Elf Merchant coming from the sea, and even in the Main Plane, the Sea Elf are not something rare.

Only the Wing Elf had disappeared as early as the period when Maiyuelita still existed, let alone in the Main Plane.

Logically speaking, the produce of the sky is not as developed as that of the ocean; if they stay in the sky all the time, are they going to drink the northwest wind forever?

Even if there are things like space farms that can ensure food and drink, how can those non-renewable resources, such as metal and Salt, be recycled?

Based on Xia Duo's understanding of the level of Elf Magic, living in the sea is already difficult enough, and living in the sky would only be more troublesome.

Or perhaps that Cloud City comes with some ancient black technology that allows that group of Wing Elf to completely get rid of their dependence on the ground?

However, as Wisdom life forms, the need for communication with their own kind is almost an instinct carved into their bloodlines; how much desire for communication can a mere isolated city satisfy?

Even if they did not give up living in the Cloud City, they could just return to the ground regularly to communicate with other Elf, but the Wing Elf did not.

Therefore, Xia Duo has every reason to suspect that that Cloud City probably had problems before the Crown War, and perhaps it is really lying in some sea area at this moment!

And the residents of the city are also likely gone for some reason.

In general, wanting to find that Cloud City and directly obtain a complete set of the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll is no easier than collecting the remaining scattered secret scrolls on the ground.

But regardless, it is an additional way to obtain the secret scroll, which is better than having nothing at all.

……

After the transaction with Crown King Yintewa was completed, Xia Duo left Wuweilun very quickly, and during this period, no accidents that he might have been faintly expecting occurred.

Until he dispelled his avatar and returned to Shaerwen, a trace of unreality still lingered in his heart; Wuweilun actually did not play any tricks.

From this, he sighed again that the Wuweilun of the Main Plane disappeared too suddenly and too regrettably; if it could have survived to the contemporary era, it would definitely have become a powerful and respectable opponent.

In fact, from the day the Northland Alliance was established, when Wuweilun survivors stood up to challenge the Crown King of Keman, demanding to improve the status of the lower-class people, and even chose to give up when they could have perished together with the Crown King (which is equivalent to winning), one can see a bit of the style of ancient Wuweilun.

And such a heroic remonstrance indeed changed the later governance philosophy of the Crown King of Keman, although this was more or less influenced by the international environment, the role of that Wuweilun survivor cannot be denied.

"Fortune plays tricks on people!"

Xia Duo sighed again, and then left all the copies of the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll he had collected in the treasury guarded by Xilin, and it was time to leave.

As the thought arose, Xia Duo felt his perspective quickly withdraw from this strange treant body, and the various Perception he had possessed due to the treant body quickly receded, returning to his most familiar human consciousness.

……

When he saw the familiar silver void again, Xia Duo hurriedly focused his attention on his Personal Space, focusing on the large pile of spoils in the corner of the space.

Among them, books, scrolls, ancient artifacts, and so on, needless to say, were mostly collected from the ruins where the Nether Scroll was excavated.

For the harvests of text and Knowledge, Xia Duo had used real paper brought from the Main Plane into the Projection Plane to make backups, and as for the artifacts, if they were not fine products, he would not even look at them.

Therefore, this pile of things actually looked like it was about to vanish into thin air.

He did not intend to manifest these things back.

The objects he really intended to manifest were stored separately. Since he was not sure if the space was enough, and the manifestation window was very short, Xia Duo had already begun to let his Personal Space quickly "digest" the stored Arcane Crystal.

At the same time, he gave the first quota for manifestation to that complete set of Nether Scroll. As the manifestation began, the originally extremely vast Personal Space immediately shrank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But unlike the previous few times of manifestation, he did not feel any heartache this time. With the 【Mythallar】 device, he could have as many Arcane Crystal as he wanted to expand his Personal Space; it was nothing more than a matter of production capacity.
