Arcane Lord

Cliff did not refuse Chateau's project outsourcing request, but he also specifically mentioned that he would not conduct any research that would consume divine grace in the near future.

Of course, Chateau understood what Cliff meant, which was that he could only study in the field of pure arcana. He couldn't say much about it. After all, he was asking someone to do something.

As for Yin Orem and Saville, Shado just mentioned it. Both of them knew about his grudges with Jamdas, and Saville was the one who experienced it, so he didn't refuse.

Even shortly after Xia Duo ended the communication, Yin Olum sent someone to send him a set of his own plan to avoid detection, which included a series of spells, rituals, items, and even some psychic equipment, allowing him to Xia Duo was a little moved.

…

After handling the outsourced distribution of evasion detection spells, Shado breathed a sigh of relief, but then he rubbed the sapphire ring on his left index finger and came to the secret place of the Mairead family located in the plane of wind element.

Of course, the surname here is now Xia, and Xia Duo named it "Wind Fortress".

This is a white fortress built in the roaring winds with a typical Calimshan pointed arch dome style. Although it cannot move independently, it does not prevent it from moving around under the endless wind of this primitive wind elemental plane. Wandering.

Standing on the small platform at the entrance of the fortress, Xia Duo didn't even shake a hair. The endless wind outside the fortress automatically dissipated into nothingness after approaching a certain range of the fortress.

This is not magic, but the instinctive drive of the elemental spirit hanging in the fortress hall.

Casting a spell to detect the eye of the storm farther away, there is a peaceful scene, a clear space similar to the water body of [Azure Crystal Plane], with only occasionally a cloud blown by the breeze, changing into various shapes.

From a distance, the eye of the storm where the Storm Fortress is located is indeed in the shape of an eye. It is hollow inside, with streaks of lightning pulling out from time to time in the middle, and the outer periphery is extremely broad. Judging from the activity of the wind element, it looks like a drop of ink falling. Huge ink marks spread out after entering the water.

There is less water vapor around the huge "outer eye" of the eye of the storm. As the eye of the storm rotates, it sometimes gathers into rain and sometimes dissipates into gas.

A phenomenon similar to the transformation of gas, cloud and rain can also be observed on the main plane, but it will not be as intense or as fast as on the elemental plane.

This plane is not too big overall, and certainly not too small. It is about the size of the [Azure Crystal Plane]. The entire plane is empty, and the most conspicuous thing is the eye of the storm in the center.

After about two rounds of observation, Xia Duo was surprised to find that there did not seem to be any elemental creatures in this plane. Perhaps the Mairead family had cleaned them up a long time ago and they had not yet had time to be born.

He had seen many wind elemental mounts in Calimshan before, and there was also a family secret place here. The Mairead family might have cleaned it up a long time ago, or even cleaned it regularly.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the necessary conditions for the birth of elemental life are missing here, but this possibility is extremely low.

Elemental life is different from flesh and blood life. As long as the corresponding element is thick enough to a certain extent, elemental life will be born. Elemental planes can be born in the main plane. This primitive wind elemental plane is more suitable.

"At least leave me one or two elemental mounts!"

The platform outside the Storm Fortress is almost identical to the wind element docking platform in Calimshan Cloud Palace. It is conceivable that wind element mounts may have been parked here before.

And elemental creatures don't need to eat, so it doesn't take much to leave one or two behind.

Of course, Xia Duo just made a few remarks casually. He still liked the gifts or rewards from the Mairead family very much. If necessary in the future, he could also ask the other party to send people over to help him raise and tame the wind element.

…

After standing outside the fortress for a while, Xia Duo returned to the fortress hall. The elemental spirits hanging above were shining brightly. It can be said that the reason why the fortress can stop here safely is thanks to it!

In other words, regardless of the knowledge in the library, most of the value of this fortress may be this elemental essence.

This thing is only found in the elemental plane. It is the condensed essence of an elemental creature. By killing an elemental creature, it is possible to obtain its essence, which is similar to the human soul.

But unlike human souls, elemental spirits will gradually revive as long as they come into contact with the corresponding elements. Although they are not necessarily the same elemental creatures as before, this ability still greatly enhances the survivability of elemental creatures.

In other words, as long as the restrictions on the elemental essence above the hall are unlocked and thrown outside, a powerful wind elemental creature can be quickly created.

Of course, the speed here is from the perspective of elemental creatures. For humans, it is at least measured in months and years.

At the moment, this violent wind fortress is still useful to Xia Duo. He will not give it up just because he wants to see the rebirth of elemental creatures. His curiosity is not that serious yet.

If you really want to see it, some of the gems originally stored here contain elemental spirits. Just return to the Tower of Time, take them out from the warehouse, remove the seal and throw them into the elemental pool.

In addition to gems, there are also valuables such as gold and refined instruments, which have all been sent to the Tower of Time for storage. Currently, there are only paintings, sculptures, tapestries, etc. that may be precious but are not suitable for sending to the Tower of Time. The works of art were kept by Xia Duo to decorate the floating city.

As for the purpose of his trip - the library, it has been kept as it is for the time being because he hasn't had time to sort it out. When he is done sorting it out, it will be sent to the Tower of Time for archiving or reprinting.

…

Go up to the second floor from the left side of the "T"-shaped staircase at the end of the hall. The first door is the library. Although it is not large, it is almost filled with books.

There are three main types of books. One is the neat book bound with elf paper or parchment that Xia Duo is most familiar with, the other is more primitive leather, and finally there are scrolls distinguished by ribbons of different colors.

Looking at the room full of books, Sha Duo suddenly thought of a question. He seemed, should, maybe—not able to speak Calimshan!

Although he also found some elven writing marks, they were only a few after all, and the majority were still in Calishan writing.

"Now you can see how good Qin Shihuang is!"

After making a casual comment, Xia Duo began to open the books here one by one. Although he didn't know or understand most of the words, he was able to recall them and "download" them first, and then slowly compared and translated them.

It's said to be "slowly", but in fact it doesn't take much time. Mojave, the Zamdas who caused trouble in Kalishan, understands the Calishan language.

Shado had previously analyzed Mojave's consciousness. Although he did not use the Calimshan language as a clue to trace it, he inevitably came into contact with a large amount of information related to the Calimshan language during the tracing process, and of course there was also the Jamdas language. .

After "downloading" the books here and returning to the main plane, he would use Calishan as a clue to reorganize the analyzed Mojave consciousness information, and he would be able to quickly learn Calishan.

This is how he learned Elvish. Without the experience of incarnating as an elf in the projection plane, it would have been impossible for him to learn Elvish so quickly or even become proficient in Elvish.

Mojave is still different from his previous elves.

Elvish is the native language of the elves, and they speak it more instinctively. However, the native language of Mojave is not Calishan, and was learned later.

It might be impossible for Shado to master Calimshan through this, but to get started, what better way to learn than from this first-person perspective?
