Everyone looked at the dejected Mileras with emotion in their hearts. Judging from the scale of the underground library, the tower of Durage should have been the temple of wisdom of the elves of Uvelun in its heyday. Any scholar who is thirsty for knowledge is in the mood of pilgrimage when entering this underground library.
It's a pity that after thousands of years, although no foreign enemies have invaded here, the ruthless years have still destroyed the wisdom pearl of the Uvelun elves.
Many of the high-ranking undead in the Tower of Durag were Uvilon elf mages and scholars during their lifetimes. It is impossible to say that they do not cherish these books. Although the dead have lost the desires of the living, they may still have other thoughts about the things they love deeply in their memories.
This can be proved by the fact that the underground library has remained unchanged in appearance for thousands of years. In the early days of this restricted area of life, it is believed that the high-level undead with memories of their lifetime should have carried out some maintenance and maintenance work on the library.
However, after Durag's Tower became a forbidden area for life, it was gradually shrouded in the cloud of death. The creatures in this area either fled or died. Without plant fiber, without animal fur, there is no material that can make paper and pen and ink. Books are not transcribed and refurbished, and the final outcome has been seen, which is to become the pile of dust in front of Mileras.
"Mileras, don't be too disappointed, in fact, Uvillon's library is not completely lost!" Hearing Joey's words, Millras raised his head, with a last glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Looking at the pitiful Sun Elf Prince, Joey felt inexplicably sad. He and Qin Lun are essentially apostles, but because of the memory inheritance of the ancient elves, they can still feel some of Mileras' regrets, which stems from the understanding of race and culture.
"Ordinary paper books, even animal skin books, cannot be preserved for such a long time without being transcribed and refurbished." Joey said with flickering eyes, "But when I was interrogating the Lich Hasid , but got good news from him."
"You mean the Nether scrolls?" Milleras came back to his senses, frowned, and said with some doubts, "Just a set of Nether scrolls cannot represent Uvelen's huge collection."
"I'm not referring to the Nesser scrolls." Joey said with a smile, "Many of the undead in Durrag's Tower were Uvelun elves in their lifetime. They can't maintain and maintain a huge library, but they can save some of the most essence and precious ones. There is no problem with the classics."
"If it is preserved by magic, it can indeed prolong the life of the book, but without re-transcription materials, I am afraid it cannot last for such a long time!" Mileras sighed and shook his head pessimistically.
"The Tower of Durag does not have any materials that can be used to make paper, but don't forget that the things that can record words are not limited to paper, fur and silk. There is no shortage of smart people among necromancers and liches. They use the most primitive The text was recorded in this way." A gleam flashed in Joey's eyes, and he asked lightly, "Mirelas, do you remember the most primitive written records in ancient times, and what was it used as a carrier?"
"Stone!" Mileras was overjoyed, "Did the undead engrave words on the stone?"
"Well, the undead engraved some of the most precious classics on certain slabs in the form of magic runes." Joey smiled strangely, "However, they are undead after all, and the memories of their lifetime will affect them , but not to dominate them. Therefore, most of these preserved books are magical tomes, which are also very attractive to necromancers and liches.
They not only engraved the classics on the slate, but also turned the text into inspiring magic runes in disguise. It's just that in this way, they have to inject magical energy into the slate every once in a while, and the books that are really preserved are only a very small part of the essence in the library. "
"You know where these slabs are kept, don't you?" Mileras grabbed Joey's arm and asked in surprise.
"Of course..." Joey raised his eyebrows and was about to speak again, but suddenly he groaned, staggered back a step, put his head in his hands, and his face showed pain.
"Filar, what's wrong with you?" Mirelas was startled, and hurried forward to support the young man.
Joey gasped for breath with his eyes closed, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. After a while, he slowly raised his head, but the faint blood in his pupils had quietly receded.
"It's nothing, it's an old problem!" There was a gentle smile on the young man's face, and he looked at Mirelas and blinked.
Seeing this scene, Paconoda, who had been standing on the edge of the team and watching coldly, had a cold light in his eyes. Perhaps in this team, she is the only one who truly understands that the murderer who made Hashid into a bone flag totem has retired at this moment, and another hypocritical person who is equally ruthless but thoughtful has reawakened.
"Mirelas, you should know that I can't help you get these Uvilun slabs!" Qin Lun smiled apologetically, stretched his body lazily.
In fact, when Qin Lun was hit by the "Scream of Fear" in the Valley of the Undead, something completely unexpected happened to him. In that moment, he suddenly understood his greatest weakness. He has always been strengthening the law body and apostle skills, but neglected to guard against spiritual skills.
When he was hit by the "scream of fear", Qin Lun imagined sentient beings in his mind, and when he was caught off guard, his spiritual world suffered unprecedented damage, almost shattered like a mirror.
Before that, Qin Lun once thought that Joey's existence was beneficial and harmless, nothing more than having an extra brother with a very different personality. But now I understand that the influence of the double personality makes the spiritual world of the two of them incomplete, and they appear extremely fragile under the impact of spiritual skills.
In other words, he could use his knowledge of psychology to fool the best psychologists, but he could not fool himself. The incompleteness of the spiritual world is still one of the manifestations of mental illness in essence.
This discovery made Qin Lun shudder. You must know that it is not that he does not have items with defensive spirit skills. The Iron Cross Medal obtained from Grant has a passive skill "Iron Will", which can exempt part of the mind control.
In addition, the Yuelun Necklace he bought after the Battle of the City also has a passive skill of "Concentration", which has a certain resistance to mind control skills.
It's just that the Lich Hashid is a high-level profession after all, and "Scream of Fear" is a relatively high-level skill, so the two pieces of apostle equipment didn't have much effect. Qin Lun has been "sleeping" for so long, just trying to piece together the shattered spiritual world and calm down the spiritual illusion.
Originally, he hadn't woken up so quickly, but Joey himself was too tyrannical, and it was difficult to maintain this mental state for a long time. In addition, Hashd's bone flag totem made Joey vent for a while, which was enough to wake up Qin Lun at the critical moment of leaking information.
"How can you help me?"
Mileras was silent for a moment, then sighed secretly. The gentle and elegant young man in front of him was the Feral he was familiar with, and the slightly brutal, but outspoken, and not good at hypocrisy Feral before seemed to be really just a temporary influence of the ancient inheritance.
"Even if our Comanthori elves get the Uvelun Slate, it will not have much impact on the Moon Elf Court on the mainland. The ancient road has been restarted and will not be interrupted due to any factors." Mileras couldn't bear it. Zhu added another sentence.
This guy is really not a fuel-efficient lamp! Qin Lun looked at the sun elf prince and smiled without saying a word, just shook his head. The reason why Mileras was so moved by Uvilen's library was that he really cherished these precious books, and the other reason was not known to outsiders.
Mileras could hide from Joey, but not from Qin Lun. In fact, ever since he learned that he had entered the Tower of Durag, the Sun Elf Prince had planned to try to gain something from the Uvelun Library, so he agreed to Joey's search for the Tower of Durrag without hesitation. invitation.
Why did the Comanthor elves restart the ancient road? There are many reasons for this. Geographically, they have been slowly eroded by the human regime near the Moon Sea. For example, in the north of the Comanthor Forest, the Zhentalin Society entrenched in Zhentil Fort is a big threat. Politically, the isolation from other elf families on the mainland even included the Silver Moon Alliance's struggle for the elves and so on.
Excluding these chronic poisons, another major factor that caused the Comanthori elves to have to migrate was that they failed to plant the third-generation World Tree. The fundamental reason for the inability to plant the third-generation World Tree is that the Comanthori elves lost a large part of their ancient heritage after the five crown wars, including how to care for and cultivate the World Tree.
Yongju Island was able to survive the third-generation World Tree because of its superior geographical environment, and it had little to do with the care of the sun elves.
Uviron's Rizal Elf Empire is a kingdom established by Santa Osriel, Keldomo, and some elves who escaped from Arivendari after the five crown wars. Although many of these ancient elves thousands of years ago suffered the disaster of destroying the country, they still preserved a very complete civilization inheritance.
After that, Uvilun once became the holy land of knowledge for the elves in the whole continent, and the library of Uvelun is still famous even after thousands of years. If they obtained the treasure house of wisdom of the Uvilen elves, the current Comanthori elves not only make up for the defects in inheritance, but also have an orthodox identity in terms of law, which is of great practical significance for them to obtain the leadership of the elves.
"Filar, the slabs of Uvelen are the heritage of the entire elves. Even if you are unwilling to help the sun elves, you should at least let them see the light of day again." Mileras said righteously.
"Well, promise me two conditions, and I'll go find Uvelun's stone slab with you!" Qin Lun glanced at Mileras, and said with a playful smile, "I'm just an elf mercenary, and I don't care about unpaid things." Dry!"
"Well, I hope you don't go too far!" Mileras smiled wryly and rolled his eyes helplessly.
