Arcane Lord

Chapter 3181 Portrait of an Ancient City

That afternoon, Shado got off work early and went back to the main body to deal with the accumulated official business of the Tower of Time. Now that the Midsummer Festival is approaching, the Tower of Time is a little busy.

On the contrary, the elf world with a weak belief in the glory has not felt the festive atmosphere that has been accumulating in Netheril.

At about dusk, Shado received a message from Larian - it was time to set off for Urban's house. He could arrange a private talk with Regante in the free time before the dinner.

In fact, this is also the real purpose of the elf private banquet. As long as the talk is almost the same, then the next step is pure entertainment. The shorter one will last at least until midnight, and the longer one will go directly to the next day at noon.

The name of the elves' enjoyment comes largely from this.

...

Cloud Top Mountain.

The Urban family and the Golden Maple Manor of the Larian family are not far from each other. In fact, most of the upper families in Everiska live near Yunding Mountain, but the distance is different.

Arriving at the Urban Manor, looking at the slightly deserted door, Larian explained: "The guests tonight are actually only you, me and Regan. Urban originally wanted to talk to Regan about urban planning and agricultural land, so we got together. Don't mind."

"It's okay, I like quietness. If you really want to talk about the special-uh-formal banquets of your elves, I can't enjoy it!"

Originally, Shaduo wanted to say "particularly decadent", but considering that he was facing an elf, it was somewhat inappropriate to describe the essence of elven culture in this way, but he did think so.

Entering the manor, a servant immediately took the two to a lounge. It was called a lounge, but it was actually more like a showroom with a rest area.

The exhibition area showed various collections of the Urban family, and there was a moon elf who looked like a butler who was here to explain and introduce them to Shaduo.

Out of politeness, Shado did not refuse, but just when he showed a hint of impatience, the butler apologized and quietly left.

At this time, Larian laughed, "Don't blame Urban, he likes to show off his family collection to the guests who come before, even my old friend for many years will experience this after coming.

"However, his butler is really smart and never makes guests angry. In fact, if you wait a little longer, you should introduce Urban's most proud collection."

"Really?" Shado did not comment.

Larian continued to smile and said, "I don't think Regante will come as early as us, so let me introduce it to you!"

Larian mentioned Urban's collection again and again, and Shado realized that he was probably not interested in the wine. Since he was here, it would be okay to listen, so he said:

"Then I'll trouble Elder Larian!"

"No trouble, no trouble, anyway I'm free anyway. "

As he spoke, Larian walked to the display area and pulled off the cloth covering a display shelf. On it hung a painting that looked like a distant view of a city.

"Advisor Xia Duo, you can take a closer look! "

Larian waved to Shado, who did not refuse and stood up to go over. But before he moved, he found that the city view in the painting not far away seemed to have changed its angle.

He suddenly thought of something and did not approach immediately. Instead, he changed several angles in succession near the rest area, and then approached the painting little by little.

Sure enough, it was just as he thought!

The painting actually used a projection-like method. The city scene from different angles was different. He speculated that the carrier of the painter's painting might not be canvas, but space.

After the painting was finished, the painting was fixed to the canvas through magic, making it a painting instead of a three-dimensional projection.

"This painting was originally discovered in a relic. After investigation, it was determined that the painting was created more than 10,000 years ago. The painting depicts a city called [Alister] in Maiyelita."

"Well, it does have a very distinctive Maiyelita style! "Shado nodded, agreeing with Larian's judgment of the area depicted in the painting.

When he was in the projection plane, he lived in another city called [Sukanvisa] in Maiyelita for a period of time, and received a period of sword chanter enlightenment training there, and also dug up the first pot of gold in magic.

And because it was the first projection plane he had ever been to, he was very impressed. Now this painting depicting [Alister], although not a real impact, the style revealed in it is extremely clear.

It brought him back to the memory of [Sukanvisa] in an instant.

He believed that this painting definitely depicted the city of Maiyelita TC. Of course, whether it was really an authentic work painted by the Maiyelita painter of that era, that was unknown.

He was more inclined to imitate it by later generations. After all, things more than 10,000 years ago, even if they were magical items, should have decayed long ago, and it was impossible to preserve them so well.

Of course, if we insist that this painting, whose author's name is unknown, has been properly protected since its creation, and has lasted for more than 10,000 years without any accidents, it is possible that it looks like this now.

"It is indeed a very magnificent city!" Shaduo exclaimed.

Compared with the grand and majestic city of Erivanda, which can even be said to be domineering, the city of Maiyeli TC is relatively restrained, revealing the atmosphere of scholars everywhere, and is a very ideal place to live.

Perhaps this is also the beginning of the different destinies of the two countries in the future.

But compared with the elf cities of the current era, Maiyeli Tower seems magnificent and mysterious, and it is so magnificent that people can't help but sigh how prosperous the era was 10,000 years ago.

Somehow, Shaduo suddenly understood what Larian meant. After seeing the glorious history created by his ancestors, which elf doesn't want to reproduce that history in reality?

...

Next, Larian began to analyze the techniques, style, and even the author's thoughts of this painting, but Shaduo was not interested in these.

The only value of this painting to him is that it reminds him of his experience of living in [Sukanvisa], nothing else, after all, he is not a painter.

Perhaps Larian also felt that it was a bit boring to introduce it this way, so he introduced the main topic-

"Efreska has experienced various ups and downs along the way, but now it has come to a historical crossroads. It may be able to create glory again, but it may also decline all the way.

"We make various decisions cautiously and passionately, always keeping in mind that development is the solution to all problems, but Everska is small after all, and there are always places we can't take care of. "
