Arcane Lord

After Lawrence finished speaking, it was time for translation.

Seeing this, Xia Duo quietly withdrew from the venue. He quickly returned to the Tower of Time to recruit a batch of Lingsi network connectors and set up an exclusive art exchange network.

Returning to the venue, Shado sent a message to Lawrence to pause the communication first, and then mentioned the Lingsi network plan to the elves. If the elves of Cormanso or Yeerlan were here, they might not agree to this kind of consciousness communication involving the soul. .

But the Akora elf actually doesn't have much confidence to challenge Xia Duo, not to mention that the plan proposed by Xia Duo is just suitable for the current situation.

Of course, with Xia Duo's identity, it was impossible to do anything to them.

So after a short break, the two parties returned to the venue. At this time, the communication between elves and humans no longer required an interpreter. However, this kind of exchange meeting dedicated to discussing the attributes of art is rare even among elves. Those Silver Leaf families The members did not leave, but applied to Xia Duo to stay and observe.

"There is no need to listen. As former members of a high-ranking family, you have experienced the rise and fall of the family. Your opinions are also very enlightening. Why not stay and communicate together."

This may seem like a shortcoming, but at this time, the Silverleaf family has mostly integrated into human society, and they have no nostalgia for the past in Cormanthor, and even feel a little disgusted with it.

At this time, receiving Xia Duo's invitation, these young elves from the Silver Leaf Family agreed to stay and participate in the exchange meeting without any hesitation.

…

With the assistance of Lingsi Network, elves and humans can communicate without considering differences in language and cognition. Consciousness information itself has self-interpretation properties, and any intelligent creature can easily interpret it.

Of course, the premise is that the conscious message is strong enough and clear enough. The subconscious message is too obscure and secretive, and not everyone can interpret it.

"Continuing the discussion just now, although aesthetics has different levels and art has different levels, I insist that only the art of the people is the real art. In other words, art should be for the masses and the people, not the elite."

Without the translation layer, today's communication has become extremely intense. On the human side, Lawrence and others, influenced by Chateau, always firmly believe that art is for the masses, not the elite.

Although some representatives of the local people are still a little ignorant, they now have their own opinions on the theme of this exchange meeting, not to mention that it is an exchange of consciousness. There is almost no information about the content of the exchange between the two parties. The threshold of understanding, so they bravely expressed their thoughts——

"Although I still don't understand what art is, I like singing and Minister Lawrence's new play. If someone tells me that I don't deserve any of these, then I absolutely cannot agree."

"That's right for the old crocodile. I just heard the elf master say that art is about appreciating beauty. I think everyone, even a slave, has the right to appreciate beauty and yearn for it, right? After all, if you don't care about heaven and earth, how can you care about what others think?"

"Hey, don't say it yet, aren't you just "thinking" now? "

"Well, Lord Lord, I'm not talking about you anymore, I'm talking about the evil masters in the script."

Originally, Xia Duo only planned to listen, but in this case, he had to take a stand:

"It doesn't matter if you say it to me. The Daxia Code does not stipulate that the subjects are not allowed to refer to the lord. I also hope that everyone can speak more. If something is not done well, everyone can point it out in time and I can make adjustments in time."

This is not empty talk, he has always done this, but in the current era, the people's tolerance for various situations is far beyond his imagination.

Many problems were not discovered first by the citizens, but by Xia Duo, who then made adjustments directly.

If a happiness survey were conducted throughout Netheril, the Great Xia Territory would definitely be at the top. You can draw the top with one hand!

…

With Xia Duo's statement, the exchange meeting became more intense. In the collision of ideas, a consensus was quickly condensed——

Art belongs to everyone, whether it is the elite or the masses, everyone is qualified to talk about art, learn art, and practice art!

But there are also levels of aesthetics, and art itself is inevitably divided into elite art and mass art. However, this classification is not directly related to aesthetic level, but is related to the status of the upper and lower classes.

The artist's responsibilities, in addition to pursuing a higher level of artistic attainments, also need to make due contributions to the improvement of public aesthetics.

Although the exchange meeting has a theme, it is like a debate. In fact, it does not need to distinguish a specific winner or loser, but focuses more on the communication process and the collision of ideas.

…

Thanks to the high-efficiency awareness exchange of Lingsi Network, the exchange meeting originally scheduled for two days was completed in only half a day. Of course, this does not mean that there is no need to talk about the rest, but the collision of ideas also needs to be accumulated. .

After using up this time, the rest can only be talked about some useless words, or change the topic.

Under Chateau's instructions, Lawrence chose to end the exchange meeting early. However, the cultural and arts festival will not end early, but will continue until the end of this month.

Of course, the heat gets lower as you go to the back.

When the exchange meeting ended early, the award ceremony originally scheduled for two days later was also moved forward. However, Sha Duo was already thinking about the consciousness message left by the ancient elves at this time, so he handed over the task of awarding the award to Ni. Ya do it.

There are a total of twelve official awards, including ten from the New Wind Art Exhibition, one from the Linshui Theater New Play Tour, and the remaining one is from the Demonic Shadow Exhibition.

Of course, there are also prizes at the exchange meeting, and they are given as long as you participate, so this is a participation prize.

For the official award, the Tower of Time will provide a trophy, a commemorative badge, several bonuses, and corresponding documentary evidence. The trophy is a high-quality magic item, and the commemorative badge is an ordinary magic item;

As for the participation award in the exchange meeting, there is only a commemorative badge that is the same as the official award.

The winners of the official awards are determined by the scores of Xia Duo, members of the territory's Ministry of Culture and Education, and the citizens of the territory up to the beginning of the exchange meeting. The three ratings correspond to the three perspectives of theme, artistic attainments, and popularity.

Although the weights of the three types of scores are different, all the winners are well-deserved. After all, this is the first Culture and Art Festival. It would be too disgraceful to commit fraud on this. .

…

On October 16, 839 in the Nese calendar, the awards ceremony of the first cultural and arts festival in Daxia came to a successful conclusion, and some elf artists began to return home one after another.

However, Daxia Territory once again welcomed a wave of tourists, and the excitement was much higher than that of the previous half month. It was in this atmosphere that the consciousness messages left by the ancient elves opened the door to Xia Duo bit by bit.
