Chapter 3347: Suspected Traces of Sea Elf, the Abandonment of Ancient Technology

Estimating based on a crater as large as Tear Drop Lake, the meteor that fell back then must have been extraordinary; regardless of whether it was a Plane Crystal, it could be called a wealth of astronomical proportions.

However, Xia Duo also knew that Tear Drop Lake was obscure in the Main Plane, and hardly anyone had even heard of the origin of this lake, which shows how ancient its formation was.

It is no wonder that the Yierlan records only say "speculated" and "possibly," rather than "certain."

It is just unknown whether the treasure that fell from the sky back then was consumed, and if it was not consumed, where it is now.

Xia Duo sighed slightly in his heart; the 2nd team in front had already arrived near the Jieti. This distance was within the Scrying range of the 1st team, and could even be used to improve the precision of the Scrying, while the Scrying results could also provide a basis for the 2nd team's actions.

Under Xia Duo's command, the two teams acted efficiently in their respective ways: the 1st team performed real-time Scrying, while the 2nd team conducted real-time probing based on the Scrying results; of course, they were merely executing Xia Duo's orders.

If there were no specific orders provided by Xia Duo, even if a few more such squads came, it would still be in vain.

At the same time, Xia Duo was also using the Computing Power Pool to conduct real-time analysis of the situation detected by the 1st team and the feedback from the 2nd team's probing; it was fortunate that the construction of the Computing Power Pool had been completed long ago and that it possessed over twenty thousand users.

Otherwise, the Spirit Thought Network temporarily assembled for calculation might not have been able to achieve this effect at all—

It did not even require several rounds of probing; in just an instant, Xia Duo obtained enough clues from the existing information, and even analyzed the specific constituent elements of that Jieti.

But with the crushing advantage of modern Magic, there are more and more young people willing to learn Witchcraft, not to mention Herbalism, which is under even greater crushing advantage in the Temple.

After Sui Chao became a Drow, most were Suri Elf, a type of Elf resembling the current Moon Elf, with skin fair, even whiter than the Moon Elf, like white jade.

But in ancient times, it was "seventy is rare since ancient times," which shows the impact of the development of medical technology on average life expectancy.

A small portion were the Wood Elf and Moon Elf who led the Ilithiri (an Elven nation with Suri Elf as the main body, which competed with the Gold Elf for hegemony over the Elf World and failed) back then, as well as the more numerous Sui Chao.

Of course, many are mixed-blood now, usually between Sui Chao and Moon Elf, and in ancient times, the situation of Moon Elf and Wood Elf mixed-blood was not rare either.

After all, a considerable part of the primitive Wizard inheritance is not written down, but passed down by word of mouth; without the previous generation of Wizards, there would basically be no next generation of Wizards.

After staying in the Underdark for a long time, they naturally became Drow; of course, there might also be the effect of Magic in this, not the curse Magic cast by the ruler of the Sui Chao, but more of the Magic that the Drow used to transform themselves to adapt to the radiation environment of the Underdark.

Only then was the new race of Drow born.

If it is said that the bottom layer cannot afford to see a doctor or use medicine, then the average life expectancy of ancient emperors was only forty or fifty years old; could it be that the emperor did not possess resources in terms of medicine?

The current Xia Ling has completely accepted two Langas Tribe, one of which is a large tribe; they brought a relatively complete primitive Wizard inheritance, which of course also includes Herbalism, or rather, Witch Doctor Art.

It is the same in Xia Shao's hometown; if ancient medical skills could really compare to modern medicine, why is the average life expectancy of ancient people not even half that of modern people?

Of course, there are definitely more than these five types of Elf; for example, Drow, but Drow were not initially defined by race, but by culture, region, or hatred.

Herbalism is also the same; this skill is also a research field of Arcane Magic, it is just using the primitive and backward methods of a Wizard, rather than using more advanced modern methods and instruments.

It can be said that except for the Wing Elf, who have long since disappeared, and the Sea Elf, from whom one basically cannot hear much news, the Elf living on the earth can basically be regarded as the same bloodline and the same race.

Obviously, it is still the reason of the medical level itself.

In the Elf World, Airuifan are almost impossible to die of illness; after all, there are so many Magic and Divine Magic, there is always one that can cure them.

Their lifespan limit does not have much difference either; the reason why Wood Elf can usually only live to half the age of Airuifan now is largely because of the oppression they have suffered.

But many of these primitive Witchcraft are evolving towards more modern Arcane Magic; some evolutions succeeded, some failed, and some deviated from the Arcane route; in short, these all have great reference value.

The reason why the current Magic system of Netheril could be created is largely because there are these prehistoric Magic systems for reference. (Elven Magic, strictly speaking, is also prehistoric; from the moment the Sui Chao was destroyed, it stopped developing, and the development of later Elven nations basically relied entirely on archaeology, which is also the fundamental reason why Elven great nations and small nations cannot pull away an absolute gap in technology.)

Only the bottom-most Wood Elf might die of illness, and therefore, among the bottom-layer Elf, herbs are also the most popular, and accordingly, in the eyes of the upper-layer Elf, herbs are the most unpresentable things.

This point was already known to him when he first read the Nether Scroll; what is recorded most in the Nether Scroll is the ancient Magic system, a considerable part of which is primitive Witchcraft, far from reaching the level of Arcane Magic.

So Xia Shao will not look down on those primitive Wizard inheritances that have just started; the existence of those primitive Witchcraft itself, to a large extent, provided a unique entry angle for Arcane Magic.

It is just a Water Elemental Domain Barrier designed somewhat ingeniously, which can provide creatures within the barrier with an effect similar to Element Harmonization; it should have been left by the Darkness Society Mage for the convenience of Spellcasting.

In Xia Shao's hometown, the average life expectancy of ancient people was only about forty or fifty years old, and in times of turmoil, it was only thirty or forty years old, while in modern times, one can easily reach over 70.

There is a similar situation in Netheril; it is generally believed that only barbarians eat those bitter and astringent herbal soups, and ordinary people, as long as they have a little wealth, will find ways to treat illnesses through Divine Magic, and at the very least, they will go to the Temple to rub off some free Holy Water or blessings.

In Xia Shao's impression, this type of Jieti is usually something that only Sea Elf have; the Elf have the so-called equality and common prosperity of the five races, and these five races include the Wing Elf of the sky, the Sea Elf of the ocean, and the Sun Elf on the earth, which are Airuifan, Moon Elf, and Wood Elf.

If it were not for Xia Shao specifically allocating funds to support and even organizing new Mage to study those primitive Wizard inheritances, it is estimated that when this generation of Wizards all pass away, those inheritances would probably be severed.

Of course, Xia Shao is not necessarily trying to promote something backward, but hopes to extract some useful things from the Langas Wizard inheritance; primitive Witchcraft is also not entirely undesirable.

If there are some special Spells, that is simply a huge treasure.

For example, medical resources are far inferior to Airuifan, and it is often the biggest factor affecting the lifespan limit.

It is generally believed that Airuifan and Moon Elf are foreign Elf, while Wood Elf, Suri Elf, and other more types of Elf are native Elf.

If Herbalism cannot be modernized, then their value is actually not high, just like the Wood Elf of the Elf World; even if they have Herbalism, their average age cannot compare to Airuifan who use Magic and Divine Magic to treat illnesses and achieve Longevity.
