Arcane Lord

However, Chateau did not stay at this fountain landscape for long. If this is indeed an important area of ​​Taivi Mansa, lingering for too long will inevitably lead to suspicion. If it is not an important area, staying longer will be useless.

But after this experience, he began to consciously collect the magic network environmental parameters of those landscapes, and this actually made him discover two more anomalies.

One is a mezzanine between the upper and lower branches of a giant tree, and the other is an exhibition hall on the history of bows and arrows in Tevi Mansa.

On the surface, there is nothing special about the areas where these two anomalies are located. Even the bow and arrow history exhibition hall looks very normal.

Although there were few tourists, Xia Duo did not encounter any obstacles when he went in to visit.

In this way, Xia Duo walked all the way and spent nearly a day visiting most of Taivi Mansa. The city looked huge and complicated, but compared to the modern big cities on the earth, it was still much larger in size. Not as good as that.

But even so, it took him nearly a day. If he were in Netheril, there probably wouldn't be any city that would allow him to visit for so long and leave him with something to explore.

The reason why he said this was naturally not because he wanted to take the initiative to end the day, but because it was already dusk, and the messenger from the Mianwang Palace blocked him on the way to the next location.

"Dear Lord Xia Duo, the banquet is about to begin, and King Mian ordered us to come and greet it."

The envoy was waiting on the road where Xia Duo passed by with a guard of honor. Under such circumstances, it was of course impossible for Xia Duo to continue shopping. Instead, he took advantage of the opportunity and took advantage of the gossip brought by the palace envoy.

The so-called "floating couch" is actually a soft couch that is lifted and suspended by magic. You can sit or lie on it. It is a common means of transportation for many elven dignitaries when traveling in the city.

Ordinary elves can generally only walk, or take basic auxiliary transportation tools in the city, such as floating disks, moving walks, etc., but they can only stand, not sit, let alone lie down.

Xia Duo got on the float and, supported by the surrounding ceremonial guards, moved slowly towards the city of Saratotia where the palace was located.

In the process, Shado experienced a different kind of travel experience. Even the residents of Taivimansa watching on the road gave him a sense of novelty that he had not experienced before.

During this process, the palace messenger introduced to Chateau the historical origins and artistic achievements of the Starry Temple and Starry Square where the banquet was held.

…

The sky had almost dimmed completely, and under the bright lights of the city, Xia Duo and his party finally arrived at Star Square. This area already belonged to the palace.

The palace of the crown king in Taivimansa is made up of several giant branches that are intertwined together. The main body is divided into multiple floors. The Starry Temple is on the second floor, and the first floor is where the parliament is.

The daily residence of King Mian is not on the first floor, nor on the second floor, but between the two, and the distinction between the upper and lower places where the Starry Temple and the Parliament are located is not vertical, but staggered.

Whether it is the residence of King Mian, the Temple of Stars or the Parliament, you can all see the sky above.

Of course, this is also because the area where the palace is located is already the upper part of the giant tree Saratotia. If it is the middle and lower areas, even if it is scattered, you may not be able to see the sky.

This is also one of the disadvantages of a three-dimensional city like Taivimansa.

Even if the sky is projected on the lower part of each branch through magic, the residents of Taivimansa can see a scene that is no different from the real sky no matter which angle they look up from.

But what is simulated is not real after all. Only a handful of people can see the real sky at any time. In other words, choosing Taivi Mansa means choosing this kind of life.

If you don't want to, you can sell the real estate and shops in Taivi Mansa and live somewhere else. It will definitely be more comfortable than staying here, but the vast majority of Yeerlan elves will still find a way to live in Taivi Mansa as long as they have the opportunity.

Of course there are various reasons, just like people in Xia Duo's hometown yearn for Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Although there are some virtual reasons, if they can stay, they will indeed have better conditions and more opportunities.

Xia Duo did not comment too much on this.

…

After getting off the platform outside the Starry Square, Xia Duo looked at the Starry Temple not far away and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Around him, many elves who came to attend the dinner had arrived, and some had even begun to enter. .

Most of these elves came in private carriages, and very few of them had ceremonial guards. Xia Duo realized that he might have arrived too early.

However, this speed was arranged by the palace envoy, and he couldn't say much. Perhaps the envoy felt that humans should enter in advance, or maybe there was some temporary arrangement by King Mian.

"Your Excellency Xia Duo, please come this way!"

Although the square was semi-open, under the organization of the palace guards, multiple entrances with different specifications were artificially separated. Xia Duo took the largest one in the middle.

There are other entrances on both sides. Basically, the further away from the middle, the smaller the entrance, but it is those guests who enter from the small entrance that get the most.

Just entering a dinner party made Xia Duo deeply realize the huge gap between the upper and lower classes in Yeerlan. You must know that you are already a powerful person in Yeerlan by attending this midwinter dinner.

More Ellan elves can't even get close to Tevi Mansa, let alone come to the palace for a banquet.

Even in the "Having Fun with the People" session after midnight, it is impossible for elves outside of Taivi Mansa to sneak in. Instead, only local residents are eligible, and even the specific quota may need to be screened and reviewed in advance.

Of course, as an outsider, Xia Duo came to the banquet and did not need to think about the ordinary Yeerlan elves outside the banquet, but how could this situation make his heart not disturbed.

He must be vigilant, Daxia Territory cannot develop like this.

…

Perhaps because of the introduction by the palace envoy on the way here, Xia Duo was looking at the Square of Stars, and he really saw the beauty of some outstanding artistic skills, as well as the weight of the long history.

When crossing the square, Xia Duo was able to take two more detours and look at the Dusk Courtyard and the Morning Garden that were led to by the two roads on the left and right of the square.

According to the introduction from the palace messenger, the Morning Garden is close to the kitchen and the Dusk Courtyard is close to the winery. Both places are used for the inspection of food and wine for this dinner.

If Xia Duo brings his entourage this time, he can arrange for his entourage to go to these two places to inspect the food and drinks that will be given to him tonight.

Of course, this is the right of the inner banquet, that is, the guests in the Temple of Stars. The guests of the outer banquet in the square can only check by themselves when eating.

But this is not practical. If I check it at the banquet, I am not questioning it. If I do this, I may never have the opportunity to attend a similar banquet in the future.

…

Xia Duo came here alone this time, without any entourage, so there was no need for special inspection. He walked around for a while and then returned to the original process.
