Chapter 1990 Each has its own position, and finally sees the fortress
So, it is not uncommon news that someone has several ancient elf fortresses in their hands.
Shado heard too much news about the discovery of ancient fortresses and ruins of ancient cities in [Projection Plane·Evriska Independence]. Among the many news, Adofel was not noticeable at all.
Because there was no more shocking news after that.
Now it seems that it was Sluvender who deliberately hid it!
War artifacts are not found in all fortresses, let alone in large quantities. Only those places that were important strongholds in the region during the Erevandar period have such fortresses.
And it had to happen to not be destroyed during the Crown War so that it could be found by future generations.
No one may have known about it in the past, but now it is not difficult to come to the conclusion that there is more than one large-scale strategic fortress from the Arivandar era in Sluvend.
The so-called "Battle of the Seven Fortresses" may be a war of interests fought by Sluvende, Yeerlan and other countries relying on the seven strategic fortresses left by Arivanda.
The demon descendant might just be an excuse.
It is hard to imagine that with the intensity of the Crown War, which frequently slaughtered cities and annihilated countries, there was still more than one strategic fortress of Arivandar hidden in Sluvende that had not been destroyed.
Now that Xia Duo has accurate information about one of the fortresses, next time he enters the projection plane, if the time is right, he may be able to go there for a "rescue excavation".
This is not much more comfortable than fighting life and death in the main plane!
…
"correct!"
Sha Duo suddenly thought of a question, so he quickly asked Naris, "You just said that 'Adolfel only appeared recently', didn't it always exist before?"
"Yes."
For this kind of question, Nares had naturally prepared his words in advance, "More than a thousand years ago, after the Battle of the Seven Castles, Adolfel disappeared. We originally thought it was destroyed in the war.
I didn’t expect it to reappear now, but it’s a pity that after more than a thousand years, we have already lost the relevant authority of Adofel, otherwise we would not be used by Erlan as an excuse to provoke a war.”
"It's a pity." Xia Duo agreed casually.
Of course, it was not a pity that Sluvender did not have the authority to control the fortress, but a pity that he could not get the news earlier, otherwise he would have been able to explore the situation in advance when he was in the projection plane.
Maybe we can use this to completely take over the fortress in the main plane!
At this point, Shado actually agrees with Ye Erlan's statement. Nares said that Adofel is a rebuilt new fortress. Is this really the case?
Intelligent creatures will always defend their position intentionally or unintentionally. The same fact may be one situation from the perspective of the positive side, but may be completely another situation from the perspective of the negative side.
Regardless of whether the fortress was rebuilt or not, it should not be owned by the current Sluvende. This is of course unfair, but Shado also has his own position.
There is no doubt that his position is to suppress potential competitors as much as possible under certain rules, or create trouble for competitors, so as to buy more time for his own development.
Even cooperation is based on the premise of fulfilling one's own overall interests. Without this premise, cooperation will be meaningless.
Since Narestus personally admitted that the fortress may possess a large number of war weapons, it cannot be handed over to Sruvind, lest it encourage its unnecessary ambitions.
This does not conflict with Chateau's philosophy of seeking common ground while reserving differences. One is an idea and the other is reality.
Shado or Netheril, and Erlan are more of a dispute of interests, but it is a battle of ideas with Sluvend. As long as Sluvend is given a chance, he will almost certainly become an enemy in the future.
Under such circumstances, how could Xia Duo be polite to them? Naturally, he would suppress them as much as he could. If he were not worried that the demon would change history, he would not even think about saving the other party.
…
Suddenly, Shado thought that the opportunity he had been looking for since entering Sluvende would probably fall on the Adofel Fortress.
Thinking of this, Shaduo asked Narisi to want to visit Adolfel Fortress. To this, Narisi agreed without even contacting his superiors:
"Currently, Adolfel is not under our control. We can only go to a nearby city first and then take a magic ship."
"Magic ship? Adolfel Fortress is built on the waterside?" Sha Duo asked curiously.
"No, it's the kind of magic ship that flies in the sky!"
At this time, Naris said with a proud face: "I heard that Netheril has just launched a new mode of transportation called 'airship'. Naturally, Sluvende has similar means."
"Oh, is it so?"
At this moment, Shado couldn't help but wonder if the other party knew that Netheril's airship idea was originally proposed by him, so he was showing off like this.
And when he passed through the portal again and saw the magic ship Nares mentioned on the outskirts of a small city, he was once again sure that the other party was just showing off.
This magic ship is clearly a ship sailing on the water, and it is forcibly given the ability to float in the air. It is essentially the same as the more common flying carpets and flying discs.
With the floating city in hand, Xia Duo even felt that boarding such a crude aircraft was a bit embarrassing, but he still boarded the ship. On the one hand, he was a guest and on the other hand, he wanted to take the opportunity to observe the design ideas of the magic ship.
.
Putting aside the lame, crude, and extra-stuffed levitation spell, this magic ship itself, which is more than a hundred meters long, is still worth seeing.
Sluvende is not a country close to the sea. Except for the fact that such large ships can be used in a few river sections, the more reason is probably because they cannot imitate the style of Arivanda at home!
A brilliant magic item itself contains brilliant spell design and even magic principles. The Nese magic system does not mature as early as the elf magic system.
The current Nese magic system is still an emerging magic system that needs to be continuously developed and improved, but development is so difficult. If other systems can learn from it and draw parallels, it can save a lot of trouble.
There is already a system framework in place, and there is no need to worry about being too affected by other systems, resulting in the loss of its own characteristics.
…
On the magic ship.
Sha Duo walked around and observed, while the guide Nares still adhered to his mission and followed Sha Duo, introducing every detail of the magic ship to Sha Duo, showing a proud look from time to time in his words.
"Lord Xia Duo, these are water-blocking cabins. The water-blocking spells are permanently fixed inside, ensuring that even if the ship encounters an accident, it will remain afloat."
"Yeah, yeah." Xia Duo nodded repeatedly, and then pocketed the so-called "Water Blocking Spell".
Similar situations occurred in every corner of the magic ship, but in the end, Xia Duo also came to his senses, and Sluvende must have deliberately shown his kindness.
Otherwise, no matter how much Nares wanted to show off, he would not be able to let him go to every corner of the magic ship and observe as he pleased. Not only would he not stop him, but he would even provide thoughtful explanations.
But it is a pity that Xia Duo will only accept the sugar-coated cannonballs, not the cannonballs.
…
Soon, the staff on the magic ship alerted Adolfel of his arrival.
Xia Duo had already projected his perception to the outside of the ship, flying and observing all the way. At this time, the magic ship stopped, and he was really a little confused, because he did not see any trace of the fortress.
There is only a small undeveloped forest and a few temporary buildings on the edge of the forest.
"Is this Adolfel Fortress?"
With doubts, Xia Duo came to the ground, but what he didn't expect was that he actually saw a group of unexpected elves here.
