Chapter 1185: Tree City Taivimansa, Balance Lock
After the performance of the Arcanists of Netheril, it was the turn of the elves of Yerlan.
As the spell unfolded, in the illusion, between a group of towering oak trees, countless rope bridges and floating steps connected them to each other, and occasionally flying horses and cloud eagles flew by elves.
The capital of Yerland, Tevimansa, is a city of trees built among oak trees, and on the branches of these oak trees, all kinds of delicate and ornate wooden buildings are magnificent.
Except for a few large public entertainment and sacrificial buildings that were built independently, most of the rest were magically reshaped with the oak branch structure, truly merging with the oak tree.
No, this is the oak tree itself.
As the angle of the illusion shifts, the audience in the arena seems to be soaring among the trees on a cloud eagle, indulging in the scenery of Tevimansa.
Such a strange city, such a clever illusion.
Countless people held their breath and stared, not daring to miss any of the scenery, even Xia Duo, it was the first time they saw the capital of Yeerlan.
Although he had previously incarnated as a Yerlan Elf in the projection plane, Silverlight City was a terrestrial city, or more accurately, a mining city used to collect Mithril, and a fortress city to defend underground passages.
In terms of scenery alone, it's somehow not as soothing as Severn.
The Taivimansa scenery shown by these Yerlan elves does supplement some of Xia Duo's imagination of Yerlan, and at the same time, this imagination is really in line with most human beings' consistent perception of elves-
Live in a tree.
However, from the capital of Ilfarang, Arinthal, to the capital of Yerlan, Tevimansa, the architectural style has evolved from grandiose to elaborate and ornate, and Chado also seems to have seen the "degeneration" of the elves as a whole.
Of course, just one city of Taivimansa is not enough to prove this, but the ancient elves, in Xia Duo's impression, are indeed much better than the modern elves.
At least in his opinion, the ancient elven society is more inclined to the modern society in his cognition, and the modern and contemporary elven society is more inclined to the ancient society in his cognition.
The regression of civilization can be glimpsed from just one [Grand Illusion] display.
……
After Mage Yerlan's illusion display, it was Mage Komanso's turn to appear.
The Kingdom of Comanso, or the Kingdom of the Comanso Forest, or the United Kingdom of the Ristal Forest.
Although it was nearly 700 years later than the founding of Yerlan, after all, it was not a new country established from scratch, but a combination of several ancient forces, and the history of Jalenstadt, which was composed of it, can be traced back to at least four or five thousand years ago.
Of course, even so, in terms of history alone, compared to Ilfarang, who has experienced all the times of the Crown Wars and has a history of 10,000 years, Comanso can only be regarded as a younger brother.
The only person who can be compared to Ilfarang is probably the southern Ketmir, who also experienced the Crown War in its entirety.
Even more than Ilfarang, where the upper casters were wiped out, Katemir was able to preserve more power in the War of the Crown, but so far it has only barely been maintained.
There has never been a winner in a total war, and even the ultimate winner of the Crown War, Erevanda, is now only a pile of ruins.
Not even the ruins remain, only traces of its existence can be seen in a small number of texts.
Comanso's intention to regain the glory of Erevander is almost impossible to achieve at a time when the elven kingdoms have been separated for a long time and the human race has risen.
Looking at the Comanso mages who formed a resonance array in the arena to cast spells together, Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
……
Soon, the vision appeared, and Komansoor, the capital of Komanso, was displayed in front of everyone by the ten golden elf mages.
There is a bit of similarity with Chado's intended Comansoor, and even a little familiarity, Chado has certainly never been to Comanso, but in the projection plane, he is the only true king of the emerging Comanso.
He was familiar with the three towers of the main city of Komanthor, summoned by the Sword of Domination, the Sword of War, and the Sword of Skill.
The wielders of these three elven swords are the crown king of Comanso, the war commander, and the mage leader!
The Comanso architecture combines the grandeur of ancient elven architecture with the exquisite and gorgeous style of modern elven architecture.
The city is lined with tall towers and giant trees, and countless pontoon bridges connect these towers and giant trees, and the glow of magic lingers between the buildings at all times.
Like the capitals of Ilfarang and Yerlan, the capital of Comanso is protected by a lock, and it is a large locket with complex functions.
Although the mage Komanso who cast the illusion spell did not deliberately show the existence of the Lost Lock, for Xia Duo, who knew the [Sword of Domination] and understood the Lost Lock, he could see some ways just from the magical aura of some buildings.
Most of those buildings are connected to the Mystery Lock, which is both protected and constrained by the Mystery Lock, and seeing this scene, Xia Duo suddenly has a sense of emotion.
The power of the caster is too strong, and the disparity in power between people before them may even be very different, but after all, there are only a few strong people, and a mature society does not need to exist beyond the system.
There must be protection for the weak, or, more generally, for the vast majority.
It occurred to Shado that it might be possible to create a more extensive Maze that would balance the caster's power, or provide protection specifically for the weak.
But in any case, in the future magical civilization, there must be a universal, binding force on the caster.
This kind of power can be a mysterious lock, or it can be a powerful force of order.
He kept this idea in mind, and in the future, when shaping the civilized order, he could always take it for reference.
……
A country's long history does not mean that it is strong, and its short history does not mean that it is weak.
Among the three kingdoms of Ilfalang, Yerlan, and Comanso, Ilfarang, which has the longest history, is relatively the weakest, Comanso is the strongest, and Yerlan is in the middle.
Xia Duo silently calculated in his heart the comparison of the strength of the Northland countries that he had learned, and Nessreal should be between Yerlan and Ilpharang, and maybe even weaker than Ilpharang.
After all, no one knows how many hole cards an ancient kingdom with a history of 10,000 years has.
As for some small elven countries in the Northland, such as Sluwend, Sulvin, and Akura, there may still be a lot of power, but in the elven world, for various reasons, they are not included in the calculation at all.
For example, Sruvend, which is now a vassal of Yerlan; For example, the koala, completely closed off from the country, is about the same as non-existent.
Another example is Evresca, which is actually a small city-state, although it has a long history, a respected status, and a considerable amount of power to cast spells, but its decline is also a fact that has long been predestined.
