Chapter 1017 Four years of travel, magical intuition
At the foot of the Elder Oak, the banquet and celebration after the Excalibur Trial lasted for most of the day, from morning to late at night.
Even if it hadn't been for the sudden physical condition of Prince Oceanus, it might have lasted even longer, maybe even until dawn.
After the banquet, Shado was invited to a tree-top courtyard near the Elder Oak by High Mage Michael, a follower of King Oceanus.
Here, he met Oceanus, the last crowned king of Jelenstad, along with his advisory group, members of the Elders of Cyberholm, elders of the Elf Court, and representatives of the remnants of Uvellon.
Except for Uvilen, which was destroyed a thousand years ago, and now there are only a few survivors left, the heads of all the forces involved in the merger appeared here. (The Elf Court is a neutral place, and after the merger, the peripheral lands belong to Corman
search, some core areas are still reserved for discussions between countries, or for ceremonies)
In addition to these elves, there are also the high mages who previously hosted and witnessed the divine sword trial ceremony.
The purpose of inviting Xia Duo here this time is to discuss matters related to the merger of the parties, the most important of which is the location of the capital of the new country after the merger.
In fact, after listening to Mikael's introduction, Sha Duo understood that his coming here should be just a formality. It was possible that they had already reached a merger plan before the Excalibur Trial.
However, the location of the capital is indeed a problem. Basically, except for the Elf Court, which is special and does not have many requirements for the location of the new capital, every other party hopes to place the capital of the new country on their homeland.
This issue has not yet been finalized, from the initial discussions about the merger to the fact that the birth of Comanso has become a reality.
The identity of Shado's projection is the Elf of Jelenstad, but the influence of the Sunwing family in Jelenstad is not great, but it is a lot of fetters. He does not want the new country in the future to be too affected by the powerful figures of Jelenstad.
Impact.
Taking into account the demands of several other parties, as the future crown king of Cormanthor, Shado must act fairly. This may be the main reason why these elves called him here!
"Crown King Oceanus, Advisor Mikael, elders and mages, my opinion is that since the new country is born for unification, it must reflect the will of unity. I propose that the new capital can be chosen in Lis
The heart of the Taal Forest!”
The center of the Listal Forest is actually the Elf Court, but the new capital certainly cannot replace the Elf Court, but it can be placed near the Elf Court, and it can also monitor this powerful neutral place, China.
Naturally, Xia Duo's proposal was not acceptable to all the elves present, and he could clearly feel the emotional changes of some elves.
But at this moment, his identity is no longer the heir of the small Jelensta family, but the future ruler, the only true king in the prophecy.
The weight is completely different from before.
After Shado finished speaking, King Oceanus was the first to express his opinion in favor of building a new capital near the Elf Court. Even Jelenstad agreed, and other forces no longer insisted.
Even the specific location of the new capital was completely left to Xia Duo to decide.
This gave Xia Duo an opportunity to fish. He thought he would be very busy after the Excalibur Trial, but now he could simply spend a few years inspecting the location of the new capital.
According to the consistent behavior of elves, this is completely normal. Once the wisdom gems on the Sword of Domination are absorbed, Sha Duo is ready to pat his butt and leave.
After all, he is not a real elf, but just a passer-by from the main plane. Naturally, he cannot really stay here to accompany the elves in completing the game of building Cormanthor.
…
Therefore, in the following years, Xia Duo has been traveling in the future territory of Cormanso, reaching the Moon Sea in the north, Lake Riven in the south, Dragon Bay in the east, and the Peak Mountains in the west.
In the process, he continued to draw inspiration and wisdom from the Sword of Domination, and often sought advice from the high mage Elfitch.
This Elfiki was one of the high mages who presided over the Excalibur Trial Ceremony. At that time, he promised that if Shado passed the trial, he would be a follower, and he later fulfilled his promise.
When he heard that Shado intended to travel in the future territory for a period of time, Elfiqi came to protect him. To be honest, if it weren't for Elfiqi, Shado would not dare to walk freely.
The Sword of Domination does possess powerful power, but it does not manifest itself in offense. As a king, there are not many opportunities to fight in person.
In addition to Elfiki, the recipient of the Sword of Skills, Istima Galanord, is also often summoned by Shado to exchange magic.
Although during this period, Xia Duo was exposed to and studied mostly elven magic related content, but in the Nese magic system, he also gained extraordinary and keen intuition.
For some questions, you can get the correct answer directly through intuition without even going through tedious deductions and calculations.
This was almost impossible for him to do before, but now it has actually happened to him.
As for the original goal of this trip to the projection plane - the 8th level level promotion trial, it was like a joke that he completed it naturally without much deliberate study.
Sha Duo had a strong hunch in his heart that if he obtained the Sword of Dominance as an elf in the main plane, or if his body existed in the projection plane, he would definitely become a high mage in a short time.
The red gem of wisdom on the hilt contained the lifetime experience and knowledge of many high-ranking mages. As Xia Duo wandered among it, it was as if there were many tireless magic teachers by his side, teaching him all the time.
If possible, he really wanted to bring this sword of domination back to the main plane, but Sha Duo also knew that even if the space in his body was completely sucked dry, he might not be able to manifest this sword.
Not to mention, his body in the main plane is not an elf. Who knows if he will be killed by this sword when he takes it out of the portable space.
…
Four years later, Xia Duo finally absorbed the wisdom gem on the Sword of Dominion.
Of course, just remember that if you want to be like a gem of wisdom that can provide feedback at any time when encountering various problems, it may take a longer time to understand it.
However, he has decided to leave.
This should be the longest time he has stayed in the projection plane!
More than four years, for elves, this may be just a short journey, but for ordinary humans, it may be one twentieth of their lives.
Even though Xia Duo's lifespan has been extended after many bloodline awakenings, he is used to the perspective of ordinary humans and still feels that four years is a very long time.
Before leaving, Xia Duo was preparing to do one last thing.
