After dinner, Shado refused the guide of the elven waiter, and left the "House of Okanhill" alone, from the eastern trail to the lower level.

In a dark-sheltered corner, Chado briefly shielded himself from the surveillance of the locks, changed his image to that of a local elven nobleman, and then walked through the lower floors of the Mellon market, which was significantly more lively than the upper level, to the southernmost part of the market.

Ships can be summoned to and from the Manda River system in the city, and Chardo plans to take a night tour of Everisca, but the main purpose is to observe the Lost Locks.

To the south of the Mellon Market, there is a sword academy called "Tartatl", but it is not possible to go directly from the lower level, so you need to go through the suspended walkway on the upper level.

If the time is relaxed, Xia Duo is also ready to walk around the city a few more times, the so-called sword academy is not a place similar to the technical school on the earth, but a training institution for nobles and mages.

The Academy of Magic and the Combat Academy are more like technical schools, the former does not teach any advanced knowledge of spells, but more to train various magic craftsmen, while the Combat Academy is to train swordsmen.

The real mages are generally inherited by families, or by a small number of masters and apprentices, and vassals, and there are few public teachings.

The average elven civilians have extremely limited ascending paths, and they have to prepare for entering the magic academy or combat academy when they are minors.

If you are found to be gifted during your time at the Academy, you may be taken by some mages or nobles and learn true magic.

If you can't, you can wait until you graduate to work in a nobleman's or mage's workshop, shop, or join the military, and you may also be exposed to real magic during this time, but the chances are very small.

And if you can't even graduate from the Academy of Magic or the Academy of Combat, then you're almost always left to become a druid.

As for playing art, it is only affordable for the nobles and even the mage class who have no worries about food and clothing, and the commoners can only passively accept the aesthetic education of the upper class, and it is almost impossible to influence the upper class through art in turn.

Basically, an elven civilian, from birth to death, almost everything is arranged properly, and there are few accidents.

Of course, it is still possible for a civilian family to accumulate two or three generations to open a small shop, or to get the eyes of the powerful and rise suddenly.

But that's all, there is no magic inheritance, and after two or three generations, it will be lost to everyone.

……

As the ship started, Xia Duo leaned back on the cushion at the stern and looked at the sky, the sky at this time was the real sky, not the fake sky that had just been simulated by the spell in the "Quiet Bamboo Garden".

But this is the seemingly vast and innumerable constrained sky, separated by layers of confusion, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

At this moment, Chado substitutes himself as an ordinary commoner in Everesca, living in an almost immutable society, seemingly carefree, but deprived of the most precious freedom of development.

An elven who has remained unchanged for hundreds of years may not be as wonderful as a human adventurer who died in middle age!

After so many years of the Crown War, the elven society has become more and more conservative, and it is not even as open as it was 10,000 years ago, perhaps the decline of elven magic also has this reason.

……

While observing the Lost Lock with the help of the Lost Lock's permission, Xia Duo's thoughts also wandered far away, and after a while, the ship sailed to the vicinity of Dawn Square.

He didn't choose the road of Dawn Square when he first came in the afternoon, but now he finally saw Dawn Square, even though he had been here last year.

The magic ship was not fast or satisfied, and Xia Duo noticed a new strangely shaped sculpture at the edge of the square, which looked like a thick tree root with many branches from his vantage point.

After checking the information of the lock, I learned that it was a commemorative sculpture for the establishment of the Northland Alliance, and the main shape was the outstretched hands of the representatives of the thirteen countries holding together, and after a certain amount of artistic processing, it became a sculpture similar to the shape of a tree root.

……

Passing through the Dawning Square, Shado followed the river south and soon reached the Morning Pool, where he and a few companions had been led by boat under the leadership of the elf Luna Heath when he had been here last year.

However, at that time, they had come from the waterway to the north of the Morning Pool, and when they arrived at the Morning Pool, Lunaceh could not help but steer the ship to the east, which was the direction from which Xia Duo was now coming - the Dawning Plaza.

did not take advantage of the trend to the river south of the Morning Light Pool.

Last time, Chardolai speculated that the Evryska Mystery Lock was based on the Manda system, and that there was another, more important node hidden to the south of the Morning Light Pool.

So this time, with the authority in his body, he did not go north from the Morning Light Pool to the Sky Garden, but chose to drive south.

According to Lunaheath, the Morning Pool was a natural hot spring, and it was hard to argue with it last time, but this time, he knew very well that this was an important node in Everisca's lock.

The Morning Light Pool at night is not open, which is convenient for Xia Duo, otherwise, even if he is now playing an elven nobleman, it would be too blinking to go to the south so rashly.

As for the patrols in the air, because they are far away, Xia Duo can easily block their perceptions with the help of the Misty Lock Authority, as long as he doesn't mess around, there will be no problem.

……

As the boat slowly moved forward, Xia Duo soon felt that some transpiration and free positive energy began to appear above the river, and when he was in the morning light pool just now, there was also a phenomenon of positive energy dissipation, but it only existed a little above the river surface.

Not as high as the edge of the ship.

But now, Xia Duo was surrounded by scattered and free positive energy, and if it wasn't for the fact that he hadn't teleported through the plane, he would have thought that he had reached an alien plane where positive energy dominated.

Slowing the boat down, Xia Duo reached out into the river to talk, the water temperature was colder than the morning pool just now, and the temperature became lower the further south he went.

But the concentration of positive energy is just the opposite.

Xia Duo had only traveled less than 200 meters to the south, and the river here was no different from the ordinary holy water sold at the Saville Shrine, but as he continued south, the concentration of positive energy continued to rise.

Generally speaking, positive energy represents the essence of life, and a positive energy environment with a suitable concentration can prolong life, but if you are in a high concentration of positive energy environment for a long time, people will be overly glorious and will lose their lifespan.

Xia Duo blessed himself with a set of [Resist/Absorb Energy Damage, Positive Energy] and continued to move forward, and soon, he saw the end of the river-

It is a miniature oval lake about 100 meters long and 50 meters wide.

That is, before he could fully enter the pool, he received a mystery lock that no traffic was allowed ahead.
