Arcane Lord

————It will take about an hour~~

Shado also seemed to be infected by Niya's excitement. He cast a spell to weave two garlands and put them on each other's heads, and then wandered hand in hand in this alien city full of garden landscapes.

This time, Xia Duo consciously avoided the main roads like Fengge Avenue, and instead took the small roads in order to see some different scenes that truly fit the real life of local residents.

As night falls, there is still light in the city of Cormansol, but the light becomes softer than during the day, just like the gentle night sky.

Although the night sky in Cormansol is very gentle and quiet, the residents in the city are more active than during the day. Perhaps they have experienced the special trial ceremony during the day that has been silent for a long time and has even disappeared from memory. Cormansol tonight Sol was even more lively.

Xia Duo and Niya were wandering on the narrow footpath between the blocks. The sounds of noisy and carnival on the street echoed in their ears. The fireworks in the sky continued to rush high into the sky, stirring up the usually hidden city boundaries into a dazzling blue-purple color. glow.

Niya was stunned to see such a psychedelic scene. This was such a "modern" scene that was impossible to see in the current Netheril.

"Xia Duo, do you think there is such a scene in your hometown?"

"have!"

Xia Duo said with great certainty, "Some grand ceremonies are more grand and lively than here. Hundreds of thousands of people can often gather in the square to celebrate together. I really want to experience such a scene again!"

"Hundreds of thousands of people!"

When she heard this number, which was larger than the total population of the Saville Territory + Daxia Territory, Niya's eyes suddenly widened. Then she thought that a prosperous city like Cormansol only had such a population, and she couldn't help but blurt out:

"I really want to visit your hometown!"

"There will be a chance!"

In fact, no matter whether he wants to go back or not, whether he can go back or not, Xia Duo wants to go back and have a look. He wants to see whether the ideal descendants of his predecessors have been realized, and he wants to see what the real future looks like!

…

After walking around most of the city, except for a few areas that were not open to the public, Chateau and Niya almost visited the entire Cormansol——

Aboveground!

The corresponding part, of course, is the part below the ground of the city. You can find passages to the underground in the dwarf markets throughout the city.

Most of the non-elven races in Cormanthor live underground, while a few live in civilian communities on the east side of the city, mixing with the lowest-ranking wood elf commoners.

Sha Duo and Niya found the passage to the underground next to an entertainment venue similar to a chess and card room. It was a semicircular hole in the wall.

It's a bit like the cave dwellings in Shado's hometown, except that the dwarf Dect runes in the shape of cuneiform script are used on the upper edge, and it also comes with an Elvish translation, which means——

"Channel No. 04 - Leading to Shafir Andalit Community"!

After entering the passage, the first thing you face is a small curve similar to an entrance hall. When you turn it, you can see the stairs that extend downward and turn squarely.

yyxs.la

After walking up all twelve flights of stairs, you arrive at a square similar to a subway transfer station. Of course, the size is far smaller, only about two to three hundred square meters.

There are many passages around this small square leading to other places. Xia Duo understands that he has truly arrived in the underground city when he gets here.

Although it is underground, neither Xia Duo nor Niya feel stuffy at all while walking. This is of course not due to a lack of perception in the avatar, but because the underground also has good ventilation design.

After walking a few steps, Xia Duo even felt the slightest breeze mixed with the smell of wine and spices coming from a passage. When he saw the text above the passage, it read——

"Andalit Community - Shifeng Restaurant welcomes you!"

Ah!

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh, could this be the legendary "named street sign"? Looking at other channels, they all have similar operations, pointing to a place that may be a landmark or where money was paid.

Noticing Xia Duo's gaze movements, Niya took the lead in suggesting:

"Xia Duo, why don't we go to this Shifeng restaurant first? Judging from the name, it should be a restaurant that specializes in oriental cuisine. I want to see the difference between their food and Daxia Ling's food."

"Okay, let's go there first!"

In fact, Xia Duo is not interested in the so-called "Oriental delicacies" in the main plane, because the Orientals in the main plane were very young when they traveled here, or they were born as commoners, and it is difficult for them to master such superb cooking skills.

Therefore, the so-called "oriental food" in the main plane is actually elven food to a large extent, but it is made by oriental people and has some oriental characteristics.

Compared with Xia Duo, who came from the era of the explosion of knowledge and personally guided the chef to complete the Daxia cuisine, the so-called oriental cuisine may only be based on the personal experience of the chef.

Daxia cuisine is superior in terms of concept, technique, and principles.

But Niya is interested, so Xia Duo naturally lets her go. Anyway, it’s not going anywhere. Let’s go to that Shifeng restaurant first. If it’s really too bad, it’s not too late to go somewhere else.

…

As soon as he walked out of the small transitional square, Xia Duo shouted cunning. It turned out that the small square just now seemed to have multiple passages leading to various places, but in fact after walking out, he discovered that the outside of the square was actually not much like the surface of the earth. the difference.

Extending in all directions, it was not a complex underground structure composed of multiple independent underground spaces connected by passages as he had initially imagined, but the entire underground city was built in one large space.

It’s just a normal city!

The passage at the edge of the square just now is really similar to the exit of a subway transfer station. After coming out, it is actually in the same space, but the location is different.

Then the prompt text on those passages is indeed the "name sign"! I just don’t know who the naming fee is paid to!

…

However, before Xia Duo and Niya had gone far, they noticed that the residents of the underground city were looking at them strangely. Only then did they realize that they were still wearing "elf skins"!

It's not that there are no elves who come to the underground city, or even live here for a long time, but obviously they are a very small number, and to the residents of the underground city, they may all be old faces.

So now that two new faces suddenly appear, it will inevitably attract attention.

So at a street corner, the two of them transformed into humans again. Human beings should be relatively common here.

In just a short while, Xia Duo had already seen no less than twenty humans, most of whom were Easterners, but there were also people from this plane.

Of course, the majority are dwarves. After all, this community is named after Shafir, and Shafir refers to the dwarf kingdom Shafir located beneath Cormanthor.

Being able to name a community after a country not only shows the large number of dwarves in Cormanthor, but also the close relationship between Shafir and Cormanthor.
