Chapter 1638 - Too Urgent, Huge Gap

As for the funding problem, even the floating city is already under construction, and Xia Duo is still afraid of this expense?

What's more, if the first order is negotiated, it means that Daxia Ling has established a connection with Everisca, he is spending money to import now, and he may not be able to export to make money in the future.

Xia Duo has never forgotten what Said, from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, said when he visited the Tower of Time some time ago - human magic items are very marketable in the elven world!

You only need to make some modifications according to the local cultural atmosphere in terms of appearance to meet the aesthetics of the elves.

……

Thinking like this, Xia Duo has already come to the side of the Sky Garden, and he can reach into the river seven or eight steps further, of course, Xia Duo cannot do such a thing under the melon field.

He continued a few more steps, stopping at a white stone pillar, in fact, he could already smell the rich aroma of Sun Rose from such a close distance.

If you look closely, you can even smell the scent of jasmine in the night sky.

However, Xia Duo is already familiar with the scent of jasmine in the night sky, and he is now paying more attention to the sun rose, which also has a magical effect compared to the soothing effect of the jasmine scent in the night sky.

Xia Duo just took a breath, and he felt a lot more energetic, and even inspiration loomed, although he hadn't traded the [Inspiration Light] potion from Hildalana yet, but at this moment, he believed in that magic potion a little more.

After taking a few more deep breaths, the looming inspiration was like a thin veil that never emerged, Xia Duo couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but he also looked forward to the [Light of Inspiration] potion.

"Could it be that the [Light of Inspiration] potion is made from Sun Rose?"

It's not impossible!

For a while, Xia Duo had some thoughts about Sun Rose, and sighed that the elf's family is thick, and there are still so many good things even if it declines!

He looked around and found a bookstore on the outside of the riverside trail to the north, which he hadn't noticed when he came at night, but now that he saw it, he couldn't miss it.

"Maybe you'll find a book about Sun Rose."

With a decision in mind, Xia Duo walked towards that side without hesitation, and as soon as he reached the door, he saw a young elf in a light green robe stumbling out of it.

Xia Duo dodged away, and at this time, a neat childish voice came from the bookstore-

"Druid, dirty, living in the fields, without a wife!"

With the sound of singing and harmonizing in unison, the seven or eight elf children each held a thin bamboo branch and rushed out of it.

Xia Duo dodged again, and then saw the group of little children jumping up and down after the young elf who seemed to be a druid, playing and singing, and acting out a bullying scene.

The young elf, on the other hand, dodged as best he could, and at the same time quickened his pace and ran towards the south, without the slightest resistance in between.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo really didn't know what to say, he could see that those seven or eight elf children should also be from civilian backgrounds, and if there was no accident among them, at least one druid would also appear.

Not to mention that almost all of Evresca's food is supplied by the druids, and in Chador's hometown, the river water does not dig wells!

What is it called? It's simply "too anxious to fry each other"!

At the same time, this also gave Xia Duo a clearer understanding of the situation and status of the druids in the main plane elf society.

Obviously in the projection plane, the druids are not so bad, how can they be like this in the main plane?

Xia Duo had an answer in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only turn into a wordless sigh, and then turned around and entered the bookstore.

……

"Humans?"

The bookstore owner was a male moon elf, perhaps accustomed to the arrival of humans, and his body did not move, but he glanced at Xia Duo and reminded:

"All the books here are protected by the locks, don't buy them, don't touch them, don't even think about hiding them secretly, tell me which one you need, buy it and take it back to read."

was regarded as a potential thief again, Xia Duo didn't care, knowing that this was the general prejudice of elves, of course, there might have been humans stealing here some time ago.

Believing that he was not the same as the Chromic Man, he answered and walked straight inside, and in the process, he inquired about the bookstore with the help of advanced clearance.

Although there is no information about the store owner, he still found the permission settings for the relevant services in the store.

The books inside are indeed protected by the locks, as the shopkeeper claims, but the locals are free to read and even borrow.

As for humans, they can't even touch it, and if they do, it will trigger an alarm, and if they don't buy it, maybe the next moment the patrol will come.

Of course, with the advanced permissions that Xia Duo now has, he can take and read it at will, but he doesn't want to be so high-profile yet.

If the shopkeeper doesn't know the goods, he may even call a patrol, which is even more troublesome.

Not wanting to bother, Xia Duo did not reveal the fact that he had advanced privileges, but acted according to the pattern of ordinary tourists.

……

Looking through the rows of bookshelves, Xia Duo quickly noticed that the bookstore was essentially more like a newsstand on the streets of his hometown, with most of the books here having nothing to do with magic, or not directly related to it.

And many of them are monthly and weekly publications, such as the "Mela Fashion Review" placed in the most conspicuous place at the entrance of the bookstore, and the cover is clearly marked "June Issue of the Year of the Museum".

There are also "Craftsman Reference" for industry information, "High Style" for entertainment gossip, "Courtyard Structure" for architecture, and so on.

Of course, there are still many regular books in the bookstore, such as "Botany" on the Druid, "Naturalist" like an encyclopedia, and even a dictionary.

It's just that the dictionary here is not a dictionary of different languages, but a dictionary similar to the "Dictionary of Ancient Chinese" in Xia Duo's hometown, which is based on ancient Elven languages.

Although most of the books here have nothing to do with magic, Xia Duo values them more, not that he doesn't value magic, but that the magic of elves is only useful to humans, and he knows enough.

On the contrary, these books on humanities and social sciences can better highlight the inherent cultural and spiritual characteristics of a civilization.

Of course, valuing does not mean buying it, and Xia Duo's valuing is more focused on "valuing".

The bookstore reminded him once again that there was a huge gap between Netherel and the elven world, and that it wasn't just one or two strategic magic that could be erased by pressing the bottom of the box.

In order for material civilization to develop, spiritual civilization must also not lag behind, and it is necessary to grasp both hands and be firm with both hands!

……

After two rounds of the bookstore, Chateau ended up choosing a druid-related copy of the Sun Rose Seedling Technique, as well as a few of the latest periodicals.

Among them, "Sun Rose Seedling Raising Techniques" is the only book Xia Duo found in this bookstore with the name "Sun Rose".

There may be others, but it's almost impossible to find without flipping through them.

Xia Duo felt that in the future, he could arrange people to collect books in the elven world on a regular basis, especially periodicals, which would be very helpful for him to understand the latest situation in the elven world.
