Chapter 2608: Getting to the Root of the Matter, Time-Stranded People

When all the performances concluded, Lawrence, as the official representative, announced the official start of the first Daxia Territory Cultural and Arts Festival and introduced to everyone the several main units of this year's festival—

The New Wind Art Exhibition, the Linshui Theater New Play Tour, the Magic Shadow Exhibition, and finally, the exchange meeting.

The New Wind Art Exhibition, as the name implies, is for the various achievements of the Daxia Territory's New Life Movement, but participants are not limited to Daxia Territory residents.

For example, the poetry created by the Elf who performed at the opening ceremony just now was included in the New Wind Art Exhibition.

The Linshui Theater New Play Tour is Lawrence's home field; over the next half-month, he and his colleagues will perform new plays at Code Plaza, Altar Square, and the Central Square of Savile Town.

And the Magic Shadow Exhibition, as the name implies, is to display Magic Shadows. "Dungeon Treasure Hunt," which was just played at the opening ceremony, is only one of them; others include the night school courses previously recorded by the Territory, as well as "Main Plane Travelogue," which was produced for Xia Duo just like "Dungeon Treasure Hunt."

The latter is closer to a "science and education film," mainly introducing the customs and traditions of various countries and regions on the Main Plane, as well as various mysterious natural landscapes.

And it is also being exhibited in the three squares.

The so-called art festival is naturally about viewing exhibitions for tourists, but for the actual participants and organizers, the final exchange meeting is the main event.

The exchange meeting for this art festival has a definite theme, which was chosen by Xia Duo—exploring the attributes of art, whether it is Elite or popular.

As for any other preparations, having one 【Xia Shao's Longing】 is enough; besides being a Mythallar, it is almost a Floating City carried on one's person.

The latter possibility is also the one Xia Shao least wants to encounter—this guy perfectly preserved the state he was in when he first entered the Midi.

This is a bit difficult to handle; if a conflict occurs, Xia Shao certainly won't fear the other party after seizing the Secret Land Mythallar Permission, but one must know that he has not yet collected all the Dragon Madness Secret Scrolls, and the other party most likely knows them all.

And this also made Xia Shao truly confirm that this Midi is the Feres Fortress recorded in the Dragon Madness Secret Scrolls, which is where the Dragon Madness Mythallar Control Center is located.

By about the middle of October, a burst of long-suppressed wild laughter finally came from the Floating City Laboratory—

He does not believe that smuggling for such a long time requires no price at all; as long as the other party shows malice toward humans or even the Elves of the present world, he must drag the other party to death.

The other party might not have any way to deal with him, but they might control the Dragon Madness Mythallar and threaten the safety of the entire Main Plane; that is far more serious than the survival of his mere avatar!

Although some time was delayed because of the art festival, Xia Shao worked overtime later to make up for it, and in terms of the total progress of the intrusion, it was even ahead of schedule.

Outside, the Territory Cultural and Arts Festival is in full swing.

It is estimated that for those people, the commoner's things are truly hard to look at!

To be honest, Xia Shao really doesn't want to gamble on luck, but sometimes he has to take a gamble; compared to the former, which is almost a guaranteed loss, in the latter, he can at least try to kill the ancient Elf before they show any abnormalities!

With this thought, Xia Shao had already made a decision in his heart.

In the Arctic Secret Land, Xia Shao's intrusion into the Secret Land Mythallar has also reached a critical moment; perhaps the Dragon Madness Secret Scrolls really didn't hide much, as in the process of seizing the permission, the secrets recorded in the scrolls played a significant role again.

Xia Shao doesn't bother with those people; he believes that as long as the foundation of spiritual civilization construction is laid well now, high-brow art of local origin will surely be developed in the future.

After the wild joy, Xia Shao gradually calmed down; now a dilemma is placed before him—

As for the specific location, if there are no surprises, it should be the palace in the core area of the Secret Land that draws the torrent of the vast Magic Net String!

Of course, at that time, the aesthetics of the territory's residents will surely rise to another level, and then Daxia's art, whether high-brow or popular, will form a distinction from traditional Elf art.

Having made all preparations, Xia Shao placed a lounge chair in the laboratory for his main body to lie down on, and next, he will invest the vast majority of his consciousness into the avatar.

Of course, the evaluation of "nothing more than this" is more of a joke released after long suppression; although Xia Shao achieved a qualitative breakthrough in seizing the Secret Land Mythallar Permission this time, he still has not obtained one hundred percent control permission.

To stop the collapse trend of the Dragon Madness Mythallar, or to think further and repair the Dragon Madness Mythallar, one must enter the core palace; only then is there a chance to control the Dragon Madness Mythallar, or at least understand the latest current state of the Dragon Madness Mythallar.

Or one could use a more popular way of saying it—who has the qualifications to define art, who has the qualifications to become an artist!

It's just that by doing so, there is a possibility of waking up an ancient Elf; they might not be an enemy, but who knows what a time-stranded person with no attachments would do?

On one side is a one-hundred-percent slow death, and on the other is a probabilistic gamble, and the latter is only considered favorable if one bets that the ancient Elf is in poor condition.

"Finally done! I thought this Feres Fortress was how divine! It's nothing more than this!"

Next, Xia Shao prepared well, mainly resting his spirit to prevent the need for recreating avatars; a good mental state can at least allow him to create one or two more avatars.

Not long after the banquet, Xia Shao received news that more than half of the councilors had left Daxia Territory, and the remaining ones were mostly visiting the Floating City rather than going to the ground to see the exhibitions.

Even if that ancient Elf also wants to save the world, would they take the opportunity to destroy humanity during the process of saving the world, given that they can easily control the Dragon Madness Mythallar?

Of course, how many breaths that guy has left now is hard to say; perhaps only a withered bone remains, or perhaps, like the "future" Elf high mages resisting death, only the very last bit of strength remains.

In popular terms, it is a living ancient Elf.

Not only must this Cultural and Arts Festival discuss it, but it must also be discussed continuously in the future, eventually forming a consensus and a conclusion!

If everything goes smoothly, there might still be time to rush back to participate in the final exchange meeting of the Territory Cultural and Arts Festival!

And if one does not enter the palace, that ancient Elf certainly won't wake up for no reason, but the collapse trend of the Dragon Madness Mythallar outside cannot be reversed.

Because he discovered that the final part of the permission exists in the form of a physical entity; if he guessed correctly, that final permission should be the Maintainer of the Secret Land and even the Dragon Madness Mythallar, who has been preserved from ancient times until now.

To hold an art festival, to talk about art, to talk about spiritual civilization construction, one naturally needs to get to the root of the matter, establish one's own discourse system; this must have a good foundation from the very beginning.

Of course, if one chooses the former, one can only hope to find a large Habitable Plane or find a way to solve the Dragon Madness Mythallar before it triggers an unbearable disaster.

In the afternoon, Xia Shao hosted another banquet at the Floating City's Hengchun Square for the councilors who came to attend the opening ceremony, but most of these people's minds were not on the cultural arts.
