Chapter 2855: Elemental Tower Progress, Mythallar Taboo

"By the way, how is the progress on the Elemental Tower lately? I heard that Calimshan has sent over ten more Scholars. This makes three batches so far, right? Do you know what's going on?" Helien asked again.

The matter of the Elemental Tower was originally the responsibility of Consultant Feilifa, but because the Elemental Tower was of great importance, Feilifa spent almost all his time on it, and his occasional reports were mostly full of technical jargon.

Helien only knew that the progress of the Elemental Tower was quite good, but with several batches of Scholars arriving from Calimshan one after another, they couldn't possibly be here for a vacation. Since Kesita was in charge of the intelligence field, asking him might reveal something different.

Kesita did not evade this, "I happen to know about this. You know, Crown King, I have a good relationship with Feilifa. We just met a few days ago, and because of the shortage of high-grade Gemstones, I even talked to him in detail about the Elemental Tower."

"According to Feilifa, the two Elemental Towers currently used for experiments have entered the final debugging stage. It's just that the elemental environments of Yierlan and Calimshan are not compatible, so the experience from Calimshan cannot be directly applied here."

"Therefore, we need to collect as much data as possible. The key to the Elemental Tower lies in the critical state of the elements within it. If this is not tuned well, building more Elemental Towers in the future will be useless. But if enough data is collected to summarize more precise laws, almost every new tower built in the future can immediately enter a production state, and collecting data in advance also facilitates future maintenance."

"In the words of the Calimshan Scholars, every hour of debugging time now will add more than one hundred hours of repair and maintenance time in the future."

"How much longer will it take to see an Elemental Tower that can actually produce high-grade Gemstones?" Yierlan asked the question he cared about most.

"That depends on the actual needs. If we must put it into production immediately, these two experimental Elemental Towers can actually be used for production, but the cost is that the debugging process will be interrupted, and it may take more time to continue research later. Besides, doing so might also invite intervention from the Council."

"I understand. I will open the family secret vault and try my best to hold out through this period," Yierlan stated again.

The reason for not performing the prophecy before the temporary meeting was mainly because he would not change his choice regardless of the result of the prophecy.

"Hmm, leave this matter to the Council. Whether it succeeds or not has nothing to do with us."

And now, everything in Netheril is a foregone conclusion. Performing a prophecy ritual at this time is not to find excuses or motives for one's own choices, but to spy on the reality of the Demon Descendant.

At this point in time, although the summer heat has not completely dissipated and is much later than in previous years, it is still some distance from being extreme.

What Xia Duo wants most is actually not Arcane Crystals, but the Mythallar device that can produce Arcane Crystals. Thinking about how much Kesita paid to introduce the Elemental Tower, Netheril itself has mastered an advanced energy technology.

Even if it is just a possibility, the Elven main god will try his best to nip that possibility in the bud.

Currently, the time in the Main Plane is March, Nese Li 840. The point in time that Xia Duo previously prophesied should have been heavy snow, but in the actual Time Line, although the Mist Event did occur, the subsequent climate mutation did not happen.

Fortunately, even if humans have mastered an advanced energy technology like the Mythallar, they are still short-lived species. Perhaps they cannot obtain the Mythallar from Netheril through normal means at the moment, but in a few hundred or even thousands of years, is it not possible?

To avoid Keman misunderstanding, Xia Duo also explicitly instructed that the Mythallar must not be obtained through non-normal means. Although Keman was puzzled by this, he still agreed, and at the same time responded to Yierlan's previous words:

Xia Duo guessed that perhaps the chain reaction produced by the Water Vapor Migration Plan, or the interference of some other factors, prevented the extreme climate that would have lasted until March from appearing.

As long as Xia Duo can prophesy any Cloud Pattern Announcement, he can understand the major events after November, Nese Li 839.

Although he had made up his mind to open the family secret vault, the feeling of actually taking money out of his own pocket was still very painful, not to mention that after Kesita's centralization reform, the speed at which Yierlan accumulated resources for the family secret vault was far less convenient than before.

If it weren't for the Giant Mithril Mine newly discovered in the Grey Peak Mountains this time, Yierlan would probably not have been able to truly make up his mind to open the secret vault.

Keman responded, then seemed to think of something, hesitated for a moment before daring to speak, "Crown King, in fact, we can fully consider purchasing a batch of Arcane Crystals from Netheril. This kind of universal Energy Gem is actually the most suitable for the consumption of War Spells."

And the most critical thing is that according to the new system after the reform, although the War Commander is also partially under the control of the Gaoshu Elder Council, he has actually become a subordinate of the Crown King, and the bulk of the military expenditure needs to be provided by the Crown King accordingly.

This is to guide a more certain future. As long as he himself does not have any accidents in the future, Jieyi will be the sole publisher of many Cloud Pattern Announcements in the Northland.

Although the Mythallar is a Magic device researched by the Netherese, it was presented as a gift to the Lady by the favored one of the Lady of Mysteries, and the Lady of Mysteries personally left a mark on the Mythallar.

"At the next meeting of the Council, I will arrange for our Elders to propose the issue of negotiating with Netheril to import Arcane Crystals."

"Yes."

Having made the decision, Xia Duo immediately started to act. On one hand, he first contacted Aoruipusi and asked him to transfer the editing rights of the Projection advertisement Cloud Pattern within Kesita to his student, Jieyi.

Yierlan had not thought of a way, and for this, he even cooperated with Ruier, but the plan was shelved just as it began. It is said that the avatar of the main god personally issued a ban in Helien: the Mythallar must not be pried into.

On the other side, after the Seven Cities Council reached a consensus and passed the resolution, Xia Duo decided to conduct another prophecy ritual.

Thinking about it really makes the Elves gnash their teeth!

"I want to as well, but the Netherese have restricted the export of Arcane Gems. Even if we buy some sporadically from the market, it doesn't make much sense. However, this matter is indeed worth considering, but we don't need to do it ourselves. Let the Council communicate."

After all, if high military expenditures are paid but the expected returns are not obtained, it would be too painful. After a few times, no amount of family fortune can withstand the waste, and in the end, the War Commander will probably have to return to the relatively independent status of the past.

Unlike Yierlan, who is preparing to use the Mithril Mine incident to fish for Demon Descendants in the country, countries like Yierlan have focused almost all their attention on the Mithril Mine recently, but how they discuss it internally appears calm to the representatives of the various countries of the Northland Alliance.

"Feilifa might still be busy communicating with Scholar Ruiershan. You should also pay more attention to the Elemental Tower. Once the debugging is completed, notify me immediately."

Long-lived species will always have enough patience to wait.

Kesita and Helien can indeed obtain the Mythallar or related technologies from Netheril through non-normal means, but the price is high. The Elven main god might have to suffer the wrath of the Lady of Mysteries for the theft committed by the mortal Elves.
