Arcane Lord

For the time being, imitating elf meditation is just an attempt by Sha Duo. He just gave it a try before going to bed and did not spend too much energy on this aspect.

However, if it is really feasible, replacing the longer sleep of humans with shorter periods of meditation like the elves do, this will definitely be more than just a few more hours of waking time every day.

The most important thing is that elves can also think while meditating. Although this requires long-term and hard training, this ability to almost fully utilize time can be said to be beyond the limitations of mortal beings!

Xia Duo envied this ability very much, but since he was not an elf, he had no choice but to keep trying on his own, trying to discover the secret of meditation so that humans could also meditate.

In addition, meditation is often described in some pre-travel novels as a cultivation method similar to internal strength or immortality cultivation. Through meditation, it can not only replace sleep, but also enhance magic or mental power.

Traveling to a real magical world, Xia Duo must have had some illusions about this kind of cultivation method, but here, he has never heard of any meditation method, or any other method that can directly and automatically improve his strength as long as he practices it. .

Perhaps in the future, Xia Duo can study it on his own, but now it can only be a fantasy. Even elves cannot directly and automatically improve their strength through meditation.

…

After breakfast, Sha Duo called to Taling while thinking about today's schedule:

"Taling, did Devine read the Astral Mage's Perception Training Manual?"

"Agent Xia Duo and apprentice Devine have already seen it."

"Oh? So fast?"

When talking to a tower spirit, the response mechanism of the tower spirit is naturally different depending on the authority of the interlocutor. For apprentices, the tower spirit will basically only respond mechanically. Questions that are not within the authority or cannot be answered will not respond directly. If you ask more, even It also reduces the next response time for apprentices.

But for the authority of an agent like Xia Duo, Ta Ling can even answer some relatively abstract questions. For example, when Xia Duo said "so quickly", Ta Ling immediately gave the answer——

"Agent Shado, Devine went to the library after leaving Research Room 025 last night and has not left until now."

Research Room 025 refers to Chateau's residence on the sixth floor of the Tower of Time.

"You haven't left until now?"

"Yes."

Shado was a little surprised that Devine stayed up all night. This was a behavior that was highly discouraged in the "Enter the Academy". Moreover, Devane now works in Tilak Research Laboratory, where there is already a work system similar to modern factories on Earth. .

Although strict time regulations have not yet been established, the tasks are fully scheduled. I just hope that he will not delay his work during the day.

Let the tower spirit send Devine a cup of hot elven drink to cheer him up, and Shado will be ready to leave the Tower of Time.

…

Savile Town, Port.

The cargo ship led by Rodney has left, but Archmage Newman has left his people in the east. There is still fun to be had in the future!

Naturally, Sha Duo came here to prepare to take the "Lucky Owen" back to Linshui Village. Thain and Derrick came to see him off. It was customary for Thain to see off Sha Duo before he left.

Derrick was called by Sha Duo. Sha Duo asked him yesterday to write down which merchants provided carriages to the people led by Rodney. This must be recorded in a small notebook.

But when Sha Duo saw the familiar names of chambers of commerce on the parchment that Derrick handed over, he felt a headache. These chambers of commerce had just signed a fixed supply contract with the Tower of Time not long ago. Those chambers of commerce.

"You are truly a businessman!"

Fortunately, there is no Mingshui Chamber of Commerce introduced by the princess, nor is there any local chamber of commerce. This makes Xia Duo feel better, so let's keep accounts first!

After putting away the parchment, Xia Duo looked at Thain again and asked patiently about the arrangements for the Moon Festival. The Moon Festival was coming in a few days, and it was also the roundest and largest day of the year.

Of course there are activities, but they are not as grand and solemn as the Midsummer Festival celebrations. However, Xia Duo attaches great importance to any activities related to the festival. There is a saying in his hometown that "the major affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military service."

The so-called "sacrifice" does not specifically refer to "sacrifice", but refers to group activities that unite people's hearts, which can be compared with war. Of course, in the ancient times of Xia Duo's hometown, group activities generally required sacrifices.

The Moon Festival is more important to Xia Duo, because this day is used by the Nese people to worship their dead relatives. It is similar to the Qingming Festival in his hometown. In his eyes, this is more important than the Midsummer Festival. many.

What's more, there is a "full moon" hanging above the head.

The new order of Daxia Territory includes not only the material level, but also the spiritual level. In a sense, Xia Duo values ​​the spiritual level more.

He hopes to make his surroundings more welcoming.

"Mayor Thain, you just said that Bishop Ambril and Priest Tus will preside over the sacrificial ceremony together?"

"Yes."

"Is that so-"

"Sir, what's the problem?"

"No!" Xia Duo waved his hand and ignored the topic.

Even though it had been a long time since he traveled back in time, he still subconsciously pitted the Lord of Radiance against the Lord of Death. The fact was that the gods did not conflict, and their believers did not fight.

Both parties can even host the sacrificial ceremony together.

"By the way, I heard that during last year's Moon Festival, a team of elf dancers came to Savile to lead?"

What Shado was actually talking about was the "Elf Dance" at the Adventurer Bar. During the Moon Festival last year, he was pulled over by Edrich to have a look. However, it was not an elf, but looked like a "half-elf".

However, since Xia Duo has been to the projection plane several times, compared to him, a long time has passed since the last Moon Festival. If it hadn't been for the Moon Festival, he would have almost forgotten about it.

Upon hearing this question, Thane subconsciously took a step closer and whispered: "Sir, that's not an elf!"

"Half-elf?"

"Sir, your word describes it so well!" Thain flattered him first, and then explained, "They just look like elves, but they are actually still humans. They are the descendants of humans and elves. Regarding these semi- Elf, Derrick knows more than me."

"Derrick?"

"grown ups."

Seeing Shado turn his attention to himself again, Darry quickly replied, "The relationship between Netheril and Ellan was very close in the early years. Most of the mothers of these half-elves were Netherese, and a few were elves. However, the elf society is very different." There is no room for these mixed-race children, and even if they are born, they will be abandoned in Netheril. Nowadays, most of the half-elves in Netheril have settled in the August Territory, because the first lord there was a half-elf."

August collar?

When mentioning this name, Shado immediately thought of a visitor he had received at the Tower of Time - Wild August. The mage from August left a very deep impression on Shado.

In addition to the fact that he wanted to buy the arcanist Aquilaine who was captured by the Tower of Time, the most important thing was that Shado "smelled" a cold aura mixed with blood on Wilder.

This is the second conceptual existence that Sha Duo perceives. The first one is the "moisture" and "flow" on the elemental path of the Mysterious Ruins, which is extremely impressive.

In addition, Ava mentioned before that he had received professional rogue training in August Territory.
