Chapter 2438: Lawrence's Talent
————I've made up for the previous chapter, I'll make up for this one tomorrow~~

Countless structures that Huo En understood and did not understand appeared one after another. He watched the occurrence of all this almost greedily, sighing incessantly in his heart, "Too fast, it's too fast."
This macroscopic Magic Net structure, suspected to be a Mythallar, appeared far too quickly, yet its coverage did not expand; it kept changing within a square inch, soon exceeding Huo En's range of understanding, and was still sliding rapidly toward an unknowable direction.
"This, this——"
Huo En was so shocked he could not speak, and could only look at Xia Duo with a dull gaze. Only after a moment did he realize this was Jilan Tower. Regardless of whether the other party harbored malice, letting the other party cast incomprehensible Spells inside the Mage Tower so freely was simply too dangerous.
Thinking of this, Huo En hurriedly spoke to stop him, "Lord Xia Duo, that is enough. There is no need to demonstrate further; I have already fully understood the value of your Floating City."
Seeing that Huo En seemed truly nervous, Xia Duo did not continue to perfect the Mythallar. This was actually not the Mythallar currently used by Chang'an City, but rather some functional components of the New Mythallar he had brought back from the Red Heart Alliance.
By doing this, he had both the intention of showing off his skills and the thought of probing Jilan Tower; after all, such an opportunity would not come by normally.
In reality, the one he most wanted to probe was Giles Tower, because that place possessed the strongest Plane Exploration technology in Netheril at present. Plane Exploration goes deep into the Ether Interlayer, but such a grand act, and one starting from the Main Plane, would inevitably affect the Magic Net of the Main Plane.
"Something happened at the tower? You are being vague, did Jilan say that?"
"Everything is going smoothly at Jilan's side, right?"
Just like Xia Duo at this moment, although the Mythallar component from just now had not been fully built, it already had a certain effect; at most, the local Magic Net information it perceived and received was neither true nor false.
"Yinaole, long time no see."
Distributed Nodes actually weaken the environment's support and influence on the Mythallar, placing more support on the nodes themselves; only in this way can node movement be achieved, and the Mythallar can move along with it.
"It's alright, overall it's going smoothly. By the way, Teacher, have you heard if anything happened at the tower?"
A little later, he could conduct an analysis on it, which would allow him to obtain some of the bottom line of Huo En Gao Ta, such as the internal Protection system, spatial structure, and so on.
Only a senior researcher who has truly delved into the Mythallar Domain and achieved great success can understand how exaggerated the Mythallar component Xia Duo just shaped was, and such researchers can probably be counted on one hand in the current Main Plane.
"Lord Xia Duo, is the Mythallar on Chang'an City this one?"
Xia Duo was truly leaving this time. Having just unleashed a major move, he had to give the tower time to react and discuss, and he himself was in a hurry to see Yinaole. He was very interested in the content of the dispute between Laolunsimu and Badijiaer in the prophecy vision.
"Lord, long time no see."
"I can't say, it's just a feeling. The longer I stay there, the more awkward I feel. Even without the Lord's summons this time, I was planning to end the exchange and return in the near future."
"Tell me why?"
"Perhaps something went wrong internally for them. It is not convenient for me to go to the hall for such matters; you just need to pay more attention and do not easily get involved."
This time Laolunsimu did not reply, and Xia Duo finally saw Yinaole, whom he hadn't seen for over a year. At this moment, Yinaole was wearing an Elf-style formal dress, as if he had rushed back in the middle of a banquet without even having time to change his clothes.
This time when Xia Duo left, Jilan did not try to keep him again. He had already realized that the tower had misjudged Xia Duo's Floating City and various other aspects. He urgently needed to exchange information with others and then discuss the subsequent countermeasures.
Yet a Bard is most easily influenced by sentimentality; from the inside out, the feeling given to others had produced some subtle changes.
Xia Duo was thoughtful. Art is actually a manifestation of culture, and culture is essentially the aesthetic embodiment of a civilization's ruling class. There exists a huge, hard-to-ignore difference between Elf society and the current Great Xia Territory.
And on Xia Duo's side, after leaving Huo En Gao Ta, he returned to the Arcane Union for the first time, and Laolunsimu also received the news immediately and sent a Sending to ask:
After some simple pleasantries, the two sat down one after another, but Xia Duo's gaze remained on Yinaole. Having not seen him for over a year, Yinaole's appearance hadn't changed much, but the feeling he gave him seemed to have become much more relaxed.
【Search "Spring Gift" on Xiaoxiang App for new users to get 500 book coins, old users get 200 book coins】 Laolunsimu was clearly also attracted by this new situation. As Xia Duo walked toward the trading area of the Arcane Union, he replied to Laolunsimu, "Jilan revealed it; he seems to be seeking help, but he didn't say exactly what happened."
But what Xia Duo said to Jilan just now was actually based on the certainty that the tower had limited knowledge in the Mythallar Domain and would easily be confused by the new functions perceived in a simple way.
Xia Duo's Perception ability was not weak, so naturally, he easily discovered this change, and thus he formally opened the topic, "How does it feel to exchange at Akaola?"
In other words, if Evereska could cut off the giant stone platform they were on, there would actually be a chance to turn it into a Floating City.
That was clearly not the scene where Laolunsimu and Badijiaer met just now; it was a possibility he obtained from perceiving the future Time Line. If he could know in advance, it might be beneficial for the upcoming negotiations.
Laolunsimu's kind reminder warmed Xia Duo's heart, and he replied, "Hmm, I will be careful. I have things to do on my side, so I won't go to your place, Teacher."
Actually, there is a similar saying in Xia Duo's hometown: when technology reaches a certain level, it will appear increasingly natural, making people unable to feel it.
"Elf art is undoubtedly profound and great, but it is not suitable for humans, not suitable for us."
"How does it feel?"
Xia Duo's words were not false. If one simply thought that using the form of a Material Node could make a Floating City move, that would be a huge mistake. In fact, it also requires combining the structure of Distributed Nodes to truly move.
"Lord Jilan, the demonstration ends here. As for the introduction, I will only say one sentence: the Chang'an City Mythallar will absolutely exceed your imagination. Of course, such outstanding craftsmanship certainly cannot be exchanged for just a section of a mountain peak. How to trade specifically, we will discuss next time."
In reality, it is caused by limited cognition, which is why there is the saying, "The layman watches the excitement, the expert watches the doorway."
Otherwise, it would still be infrastructure fixed to the environment.
"No, that was just for the convenience of demonstration. The Chang'an City Mythallar can move along with the Floating City; naturally, it is not something an ordinary Mythallar can compare to."
……
Although Yinaole was a Bard in the past, he gave people a feeling of a Paladin, as if he were deliberately holding himself up. After going to Akaola for exchanges and studies for over a year, he seemed to have changed some of his original ideas.
If we talk about technical content, if the Chang'an City Mythallar does not consider the pioneering nature of its Adaptive Mythallar, the whole thing combined does not have as much technical content as the new Mythallar component he just demonstrated.
In other words, in the year and more that Yinaole has been exchanging with the Elves, his identification with the Great Xia Territory has become deeper and deeper. This is a thing worth being happy about!
