In the afternoon of that day, Xia Duo got off work early. He first turned around and realized that his main body had dealt with the accumulated official duties at the Tower of Time. Now that the Midsummer Festival was coming, the Tower of Time was a little busier.
On the contrary, the elven world with little faith in radiance has not felt at all the festive atmosphere that has begun to accumulate in Netheril.
At almost dusk, Chateau received a summons from Larian - it was time to set off for Urban's house. During the free time before the dinner party, he could arrange a private talk with Regante.
In fact, this is also the real purpose of the elf private banquet. As long as the talks are pretty much the same, the rest will be pure entertainment. The shorter ones will last until at least midnight, and the longer ones will go directly to noon the next day.
The name of Elf Pleasure comes largely from this.
…
Yunding Mountain.
The Golden Maple Manor of the Urban family and the Larian family are not far apart. In fact, most of the high-ranking Everrisk families live near Yunding Mountain, but the distance is just a matter of distance.
Arriving at the Urban Manor, looking at the slightly deserted door, Larian explained: "The guests tonight are actually just you and me plus Regante. Originally, Urban wanted to talk to Regante.
The issues of urban planning and agricultural land were brought together, don't mind."
"It's okay, I like peace and quiet. I really can't enjoy your elves' special - uh - formal banquet!"
Originally, Xia Duo wanted to say "particularly depraved", but considering that he was dealing with an elf, it was somewhat inappropriate to describe the essence of elf culture in this way, but he did think so.
Upon entering the manor, servants immediately took the two of them to a lounge. It was said to be a lounge, but in fact it was more like a showroom with a seating area.
Visitors to the exhibition area have various collections of the Urban family, and a moon elf who looks like a butler is here to explain and introduce them to Chateau.
Out of politeness, Xia Duo did not refuse, but just when he showed a hint of impatience, the housekeeper apologized and quietly withdrew.
At this time, Larian laughed loudly, "Don't blame Urban, he likes to show off his family collection to guests who come here. Even I, an old friend for many years, will experience this after coming here.
"However, his butler is indeed very smart and never makes the guests angry. In fact, if you wait for a while, you should introduce Urban's most proud collection."
"Really?" Xia Duo was noncommittal.
Larian continued to smile and said: "Regant probably won't come as early as us, so let me introduce it to you!"
Larian mentioned Urban's collection again and again. Only then did Chateau realize that he was probably not interested in drinking. Since he was already here, there was no harm in listening, so he said:
"Then trouble Elder Larian!"
"No trouble, no trouble, it's just idle time anyway."
With that said, Larian walked to the display area and pulled away the curtain on a display shelf. A painting hung on it, like a distant view of a city.
"Consultant Xia Duo, you can take a closer look!"
Larian waved to Xia Duo, and Xia Duo did not refuse. He stood up and was about to go over, but before he could move, he noticed that the perspective of the city in the painting not far away seemed to have changed from a different angle.
He suddenly thought of something, and did not approach immediately. Instead, he changed multiple angles near the rest area, and then approached the painting in a roundabout way.
It's exactly what he thought!
That painting actually used a method similar to projection, and the city scene looked different from all angles. He speculated that the carrier of the painter's painting may not be the canvas, but the space.
After the painting was completed, the painting was fixed to the canvas through magic, making it a painting instead of a three-dimensional projection.
"This painting was first discovered in a certain ruins. After research, it was determined that the age of the painting was almost more than 10,000 years ago. This painting depicts a building named Alice in the Maiye Tower.
A special city.”
"Well, it does have a very distinct Maiyelita style!" Chateau nodded, agreeing with Larian's judgment of the region depicted in the painting.
When he was in the projection plane, he lived for a period of time in another city called Sukanvisa in Maiyeli Tower, where he also received a period of enlightenment training as a swordsinger, and also gained the first knowledge in magic.
Pot of gold.
And because it was the first projection plane he had been to, he was very impressed. Although the current painting depicting [Alister] was not a real influence, the style revealed in it was extremely clear.
It immediately brought him back to the memory of [Sukanwisa].
He believed that this painting definitely depicted the city of Macquarie Tower. Of course, it was unknown whether it was actually painted by the Macquarie Tower painter of that era.
He is more inclined to imitate it for future generations. After all, even magic items that were created more than 10,000 years ago should have decayed long ago and cannot be preserved so well.
Of course, if we insist that this painting, whose author's name cannot even be traced, has always been properly protected from the beginning, and has continued for more than 10,000 years without any accidents, then it is possible that this is what it looks like now.
"It is indeed a very magnificent and magnificent city!" Xia Duo exclaimed.
Compared to the majestic and grandiose city of Arivanda, which can even be said to be overtly domineering, Macyeli TC City is relatively restrained and has a scholarly atmosphere everywhere, making it a very ideal place to live.
Perhaps this is also the beginning of the different destinies of these two countries in the future.
But compared to the elven cities of the current era, the Maiyeli Tower appears to be magnificent, mysterious and magnificent. It makes people sigh at how prosperous the era was ten thousand years ago.
Somehow, Shado suddenly understood what Larian meant. After seeing the glorious history created by his ancestors, which elf wouldn't want to recreate that history with his own hands in reality?
…
Next, Larian began to analyze the technique, style, and even the author's thoughts revealed in this painting, but Chateau was not interested in these.
The only value of this painting to him is that it reminds him of his original experience of living in Sukanwisa. There is nothing else. After all, he is not a painter.
Perhaps Larian also felt that this introduction was a bit boring, so he introduced the topic——
"Since Evereska's development, it has experienced various ups and downs along the way, but now it has reached a fork in the road of history. It may be able to achieve greater glory going forward, but it may also decline along the way.
"We make various decisions with caution and passion, always keeping in mind that development is the solution to all problems, but Evereska is small in size after all, and there are always things we cannot take into account."
