Chapter 1185 The city on the tree, Taiweimansa, the balance lock
After the performance of the arcanists of Netheril was over, it was the turn of the elves of Erlan.
As the spell unfolded, in the illusion, between a group of towering oak trees, there were countless rope bridges and floating steps connecting them to each other. Occasionally, there were Pegasus and Cloud Eagles flying over carrying elves.
The capital of Yeerland, Tevimansa, is a tree city built among oak trees. On the branches of these oak trees, various wooden buildings with exquisite and gorgeous shapes are magnificent.
Except for a few large-scale public entertainment and sacrificial buildings that are built independently, most of the rest use magic to reshape the structure of oak branches and truly integrate with the oak tree.
No, this is the oak tree itself.
As the angle of the illusion continues to change, the audience in the arena seems to be flying on a cloud eagle among the trees, enjoying the scenery of Tevi Mansa.
Such a strange city, such a brilliant illusion.
Countless people held their breath and concentrated, not daring to miss any scenery. Even Xia Duo saw the appearance of the capital of Yeerlan for the first time.
Although he had incarnated as an Ellan elf in the projection plane before, the Silver Light City where he was at that time was an above-ground city, or to be more precise, a mining city used to collect mithril, and a fortress city that defended underground passages.
.
In terms of scenery alone, it is not as pleasant as Severington to some extent.
The scenery of Taivimansa shown by these Yeerlan elves really complements Shado's imagination of Yeerlan. At the same time, this imagination is also in line with most humans' consistent understanding of elves -
Live in a tree.
However, from Eilintal, the capital of Elfaran, to Tevimansa, the capital of Erlan, the architectural style has evolved from majestic to exquisite and gorgeous. Shado also seems to have seen the "degeneration" of the elves as a whole.
Of course, just one Taivimansa city is not enough to prove this, but in Shado's impression, ancient elves are indeed much better than modern elves.
At least in his opinion, ancient elf society is more similar to the modern society he knows, while modern elf society is more similar to the ancient society he knows.
The regression of civilization can be glimpsed from just one [Grand Illusion] display.
…
After Master Ye Erlan's illusion display ended, it was Master Cormanso's turn to appear.
The Kingdom of Cormanthor, also known as the Forest Kingdom of Cormanthor, or the United Kingdom of Listal Forest.
Although it was nearly seven hundred years later than the founding of Yeerland, after all, it was not a new country established from scratch, but a union of several ancient forces. The history of the Jelenstad that formed it can be traced back to at least four or five thousand years.
years ago.
Of course, even so, in terms of history alone, compared to Ilfaran, who has experienced all the eras of the Crown War and has a history of tens of thousands of years, Cormanthor can only be regarded as a younger brother.
The only one who can compare with Ilfarang is probably Katemir from the south, who also experienced the entire Crown War.
Even compared to Ilfaran, whose upper-level casters were completely wiped out, Ketmir was able to retain more power during the Crown War, but so far it can only barely maintain it.
There is never a winner in a total war. Even Arivanda, the final victor of the Crown War, has only piles of ruins left.
Even the ruins do not exist, and traces of its existence can only be seen in a few ancient books.
Cormanthor's intention to restore the glory of Arivandar is almost impossible to achieve now that the elven kingdoms have been separated for a long time and the human race is rising.
Looking at the Cormanso mages who formed a resonance array and jointly cast spells in the arena, Sha Duo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
…
Soon, an illusion appeared, and Cormansol, the capital of Cormanthal, was displayed in front of everyone by the ten golden elf mages.
There are some similarities with the Cormansol in Shado's imagination, and there is even a sense of familiarity. Of course, Shado has never been to Cormansol, but in the projection plane, he is the emerging Cormansol.
The only true king.
What made him feel familiar were the three towers in the main city of Cormansol, summoned by the [Sword of Domination], [Sword of War] and [Sword of Skill] respectively.
The holders of these three elven swords are respectively the crown king of Cormanthor, the war commander, and the mage leader!
Cormanthor architecture combines the grandeur of ancient elven architecture with the exquisite and gorgeous style of modern elven architecture.
There are many tall towers and giant trees in the city. Countless pontoons connect these towers and giant trees together, and the glow of magic lingers among the buildings.
Like the capitals of Ilfaran and Yeerland, the capital of Comansor is also protected by a mythical lock, and it is a large mythical lock with complex functions.
Although Master Cormanso, who casts illusion spells, did not deliberately show the existence of the Mystic Lock, for Shado, who knew the [Sword of Dominion] and the Mystic Lock, he could see it just from the magic aura of some buildings.
Got some ideas.
Most of those buildings were connected to the Mystery Lock, and were both protected and restricted by the Mystery Lock. Seeing this scene, Xia Duo was immediately moved.
The power of the spellcaster is too powerful, and the difference in power between people may even be huge, but after all, there are only a few strong ones, and a mature society does not need to exist beyond the system.
The weak, or more generally the vast majority of people, must be protected.
From this, Xia Duo thought that it might be possible to establish a mythical chain with a larger coverage area to balance the power of the caster, or to provide protective power specifically for the weak.
But no matter what, in the future magic civilization, there must be a universal binding force on spellcasters.
This power can be a mythical lock or a powerful force of order.
He kept this idea in mind and could refer to it from time to time when shaping the civilized order in the future.
…
A country's long history does not mean it is strong, and its short history does not mean it is weak.
Among the three countries of Ilfaran, Yerlan, and Comanthor, Ilfaran, which has the longest history, is relatively the weakest, Comanshor is the strongest, and Yerlan is in the middle.
Shado silently considered in his mind what he had learned about the relative strength of the northern kingdoms. Netheril should be between Ellan and Elfaran, and might even be weaker than Elfaran.
After all, no one knows how many trump cards an ancient kingdom with a history of tens of thousands of years has.
As for some small elven countries in the North, such as Sluvende, Sharvin, Akora and others, they may still have considerable power, but in the elven world, due to various reasons, they are not included in the calculation at all.
For example, Sluwende is now considered a vassal state of Yeerlan; for example, Akora is completely closed to the country and almost does not exist.
Another example is Everesca, which is actually a small city-state. Although it has a long history, respected status, and considerable power as a spellcaster, its decline is also a fact that has long been doomed.
