Chapter 1093: The Moon Horn Family, Past History
Could it be that Inosen has developed a Mithril replacement technology, which has damaged the interests of the elves, and this disaster has happened?
Apart from this, Xia Duo really can't think of anything else.
Or maybe Inosen's talent in the field of magic is so good that even the elves have to kill him as quickly as possible, but the odds are too low.
If the elves really had the consciousness to kill future competitors in advance, they might have already attacked all of Nessreel's humans.

You must know that even after the appearance of the Grand Arcanist, if the elves really want to do it, they don't need to pay much at all.
It was only now that there was a feeling that the tail was too big to fall, but even so, only the Komanso had the strongest hostility towards Nessreel.
For example, although the relationship between the two countries is not as sweet as it was at the beginning, it is still much better than the relationship between Comanso and Netheril, and Ilfarang is an ally of Nethril.
As for the other elven kingdoms, some of them are not even as powerful as Nesser, and it is better to worry about whether Comanso will start a annexation war against them than about the harmless Nesser.
Mithril is different, although magic exists in this world, it is far from the point of detaching from matter, and Mithril will always be the most important basic magic material until magic has developed to a certain extent.
Controlling Mithril doesn't necessarily limit the development of Nesser's magic, but it certainly limits Nesser's war potential.
After all, manpower is always limited, and tools can theoretically be stacked infinitely, and Mithril is indispensable to make powerful magical tools.
At the Age of Discovery, the color-resistant mages gave up elven magic in favor of a new magical system that was more suitable for humans, and the elves would more or less feel some threat from the new human mages.
Xia Duo didn't know much about the past, but from the current point of view, the elves and dwarves teamed up to limit the amount of Mithril that humans could get.
There is only a fixed export quota every year, and the current export volume has not changed for nearly 100 years.
Then, when humans are just beginning to give up elven magic, such restrictions may be tighter.
If someone had researched a substitute for Mithril at that time, would it have touched the sensitive nerves of the elves and led to death?
However, these are just his guesses, although Xia Duo believes that this possibility is very high, but no matter how big it is, it is better to listen to the living historical participant and witness in front of him, and personally tell a possibility that is more in line with the real situation.
"Master, do you think Inosen's death may have been due to his research on a Mithril alternative?"
"So to speak, but it would be more accurate to say that it is for the benefit of the Yuejiao family!"
Congenio's originally somewhat gloomy expression had subsided a lot at the moment, and when he heard Xia Duo's speculation, he did not completely deny it, but put forward what he thought was the most likely scenario.
In this regard, he explained:
"At present, the imported Mithril of Nesserel is mainly from Danzo and Yerlan, but due to the defects of the refining method, the dwarves are unable to refine high-purity Mithril that is truly suitable for high-end magic items, and almost all of this part comes from Yeerlan and comes from the Moon Horn family, do you understand?"
Understood, how could it not be understood!
At the same time, Chado also found a hidden message in Congenio's words, Congenio said that the dwarves were unable to refine high-grade Mithril because of defective refining methods, and being able to say such a thing means that Congenio has mastered the method of refining Mithril?
There may even be a method of refining high-quality Mithril!
Whether or not Nessreel has a Mithril refining method is a question that Xia Duo is very concerned about, and it is also one of the purposes of his visit to Congenio.
Now that he has said this, Xia Duo also took this opportunity to ask:
"Master, Mithril is so important, Inosen was maliciously framed by the elves just to research a laboratory product that is difficult to use, what about the real Mithril refining method? Will the elves allow us humans to master? ”
Congenio gave Chardo a thoughtful look, and then replied, "Of course the elves don't allow it, but we don't let them limit it.
"At present, Nessera has mastered the method of refining Mithril, but it is limited to medium and low grades, and for high-grade Mithril, it is still very dependent on imports from Yeerlan."
Sure enough, there is! Xia Duo shouted in his heart.
Although there are some deviations from what he expected, there are definitely two completely different concepts, and at most they will be developed in the future!
On the other hand, Nessreel's mastery of the Mithril refining method also means that it will no longer be so abrupt for Xia Duo to use or even sell his own Mithril in the future.
As long as the purity and quantity are controlled, it is enough.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo had a new question: "Master, since Netherel has mastered the method of refining Mithril, why does almost all the Mithril in circulation on the market come from the fixed share given by the Arcane Federation to each Mage Tower?" Nessera must have Mithril Ore, so why not refine it yourself and sell it? ”
That's a good question! I just said that even if you don't come to me, I'll find a time to talk to you in the near future, and that's one of the things I want to talk to you about! ”
Congenio noticed the look of surprise in Xia Duo's eyes, he smiled slightly, and began to tell from the beginning:
"The establishment of the color-resistant magic system was not an overnight thing, nor was it something that could be studied by one or two people, but a long-term collective event in which almost all color-resistant spellcasters participated at that time.
"Such a big plan was naturally carried out without the elves, but after a long time, the mentors sent by Yeerlan to teach human magic gradually realized that human beings were becoming less and less interested in elven magic.
"It wasn't until a later wave of orcs, due to the critical situation, that some color-resistant mages had no choice but to cast a new [Fireball Technique] created by imitating elven spells, and the fact that humans gave up elven magic was finally confirmed by the Yerlan mentors."
Speaking of which, Congenio suddenly asked Xia Duo, "What direction do you think things will go next?" What do elves do? ”
"I think the elves must at least understand why humans gave up their elven magic!" Chado replied.
Congenio nodded, "You're right, the elves should have done it, and they did, but the news that the arrogant elven messenger brought back to Tevimansa is that humans are addicted to clumsy quick-fix techniques and are simply not teachable.
Later, the Lesser Magic Instructors were withdrawn, and until the birth of the first human Grand Arcanist, the elves still believed that human magic was just a clumsy trick.
"Of course, it is also fortunate that the elves are so arrogant that they have given us the opportunity to develop, but although the elves are arrogant, they are not ignorant, and they quickly realize the potential of the color-resistant magic system.
"When a human mage grows into an elite mage that elves take hundreds of years to reach in just one or two decades, and even a great arcanist who is not weaker than a high mage, how can an elf not be surprised, and the suppression ensues-
"They united with the dwarves to keep Nessera under a very tight seal on all aspects of magical resources and knowledge.
"Some of these blockades have been around for centuries and have long since become a reality, but some of them have been impacted.
"Speaking of which, do you know what I'm going to say? That's right, it's Mithril, in addition to the restrictions of the Mithril refining method, the more important thing is Mithril Mine! ”
