Not long after Shado left the Northland Alliance headquarters, he received a summons from Doom, who invited him to join the subsequent investigation of the two missing contacts that occurred in Yeerlan.
In this regard, Xia Duo agreed without much hesitation. He really wanted to conduct an on-site investigation. If there were normal entry channels, then he would not need to sneak across the border.
After all, smuggling is still risky, and the results may not be recognized.
…
Returning to Mellon Market again, in just a short time, there was already a long queue in front of store No. 18, but Sha Duo did not think that these elves were able to purchase the void warehouse service of the Tower of Time.
Most of them were pulled over to make up the numbers to redeem free trial quotas.
Although he was in a different world, at this moment, Xia Duo felt inexplicably like he was in his hometown.
But this time, he did not enter the store, but summoned Oripus to control the issuance of free trial quotas. After all, the purpose of free trial is to expand the influence, not to actually let them use it for free.
After that, Xia Duo found a place to sit down in the city garden near Mellon Market. There should be no surprises when he joins the investigation. As for the specific investigation, we have to wait until we see the place where the incident occurred before we can make a judgment. But there are probably not those few plans.
Sitting in this city garden that didn't have much of a winter atmosphere, Sha Duo was waiting for Dumu's specific departure time, while thinking about the first step of cooperation plan mentioned in the previous meeting with Larian.
Build a landmark building in Everriska, and then hold a new art exhibition inside to guide the people of Everriska to understand the Bactrian Territory and the Bactrian Codex.
What Xia Duo is thinking about now is what kind of landmark building he should build. To be honest, the buildings in his hometown are more grand. In terms of Kit Kat, they may not be as good as the elves.
As for iconic buildings, it largely depends on Kit Kat, or more bluntly, its appearance and function.
The land and resources that Evereska can provide are limited, and it is impossible to allow him to perform any super wonders.
Moreover, after the completion of the building, it will not belong to Chateau, but to Evereska. Therefore, the design idea from the beginning needs to make the building not only fit the style of the New Wind Art Exhibition, but also be suitable for the future Everest. Ska works.
A temporary building or pure decoration is not what Xia Duo wants to see.
"What should we build?"
At this time, Shado had already laid out a map of the city of Everriska in his mind. The building location provided by Everriska was in the South District, or the College District.
Specifically, it is an open space near the Taltat Swordsmanship Academy. Currently, it is a lawn that has not been much trimmed. To the elves, this is actually a semi-deserted land.
However, there is no direct access from the ground to Talta Teji Swordsmanship Academy. You can only enter by walking on the suspended walk. This open space is actually only close to Talta Te.
Students from Taltat Swordsmanship Academy have to take a long detour to get to the open space over there.
However, Xia Duo didn't feel much about this academy called Swordsmanship Academy, which actually trained noble children and mages. If it were a normal Nese person who came here, he might find a way to gain the reputation of the Swordsmanship Academy.
But Xia Duo felt that it was best not to get involved.
Next to the open space are the Magic Academy and the Combat Academy. Both of these are academies that can be reached normally from the ground. The former trains not mages, but magic craftsmen, while the latter trains sword singers.
These two are the places where ordinary elves in Evereska are most likely to come into contact with magic. If they have outstanding talents, it may not be impossible for them to be spotted by a mage and be accepted as a student, thus achieving a class jump.
Chateau felt that Evereska might have wanted to cater to the middle class represented by these two colleges by placing the New Style Art Exhibition next to these two colleges.
As for the lowest level, there are probably only two. One is ordinary elves who have never been exposed to magic. The number of this group is actually very small, and the other is druids.
Although Evereska's main source of food depends on druids, the status of druids has not improved much for a long time.
Shado speculated based on some of the elven historical data he obtained through various methods that the original druids were probably natives of the main plane, while the current elves and the ruling class were probably all outsiders.
The outsiders have advanced technology and the indigenous people have backward technology, but there is a huge disparity in numbers between the two sides. In order to better control the larger number of indigenous people, the alien elves chose to suppress the local technology, that is, the natural druids.
In this process, local technologies were also absorbed and transformed, and the original natural druids were changed into druids who believed in the main elf god. This was also for better control.
According to Xia Duo's speculation, the golden elves and moon elves on the main plane were originally immigrants, and the most native ones were wood elves. The Sri elves, one of the predecessors of the drow, may also be native elves.
The current drow can be said to be a new race, but their predecessors were not just one type of elf. Instead, they were cursed and exposed to the radiation environment of the Underdark for a long time, which made them what they are now.
From this perspective, the so-called "Crown War" in the early days was most likely not a war for power within the elves, but a war between local elves against foreign elves.
The results are obvious. Arivanda's victory shows that the external elves have won all-round, and the subsequent war is a war within the victors.
Nowadays, in the elven countries on the main plane, it is rare to even hear any discussions about natives and immigrants. Almost all of them have a unified voice. The elves are all outsiders, but now they have become aborigines.
Needless to say, when the foreign elves arrived, there were still many native elves on the main plane, and many of those elves still live on the main plane.
Of course, the elves have done one thing right, and that is to base themselves on the main plane, instead of still treating themselves as outsiders, and it has been too long. In this case, it is not too much to discuss outsiders and local elves. It makes so much sense.
The elves themselves don't care much anymore, and it's hard for outsiders to stir up the topic anymore.
Furthermore, Everesca is currently trying to introduce the Bactrian Code, which is a further integration and even a true realization of equality among the five races within the elven race. In this case, it is impossible for Shado to undermine them.
With this kind of consideration, Xia Duo probably thought about the style of the new building.
It must not only contain elven elements, but also transcend the current mainstream artistic understanding of elves. In addition, it must also reflect Chateau’s own thoughts and ideas.
The new building can actually be regarded as the starting point for the true integration of the Northland Alliance, not only the true integration within the elven tribe, but even the integration between completely different races.
Not based on blood, but based on the fusion of a new, more advanced culture.
