Arcane Lord

After climbing nearly fifty floors, Sha Duo finally saw the interior of the Temple of Stars. As introduced by the previous messenger, it was magnificent and full of the Yellan elves' imagination of the starry sky.

From a distance, the entire temple is shrouded in hazy light and mist, like a majestic king sitting on a throne covered in rays of light. The light and mist dissipates little by little as you get closer.

But inside the temple, the dome seems not to exist, and the stars are so dense that they are within reach, and the little stars are like shooting stars, falling from the sky with long tails, and "burning" before they fall inside the temple. .

“The view is truly different from usual!”

Before he could utter any more exclamations, the messenger was already guiding the seats. Only then did Xia Duo retract his gaze that was attracted by the starry sky on the dome of the temple, and instead looked at the seating arrangement inside the temple.

It is mainly divided into five areas. The main ones are King Helianmian and his spouse and heirs. Although only King Helianmian has arrived so far, the latter is not Sha Duo's random speculation, but a messenger on the way. disclose.

The secondary seats are divided into two parts, located on both sides of the main seat. The seats on the left are the seats for members of the Gaoshu Council of Elders, and the seats for foreign envoys are on the right.

Continuing down from the seats on the left are the seats for the upper-ranking family members. Continuing down from the seats on the right are the seats for the original protagonists of this banquet - the members of the Northland Alliance Investigation Team.

Behind the seats on both sides, close to the walls on both sides of the hall, there is a team of musicians, with nearly a hundred musicians on each side.

Various instruments are present, but the playing is not over.

"When you arrived at Tevi Mansa in the afternoon, you had not yet met King Helion Crown. He mentioned that Talaf had no intention of withdrawing the Elemental Tower from Calimshan!"

Judging from the current development of the relationship between Netheril and Chang Youchun, there is still no chance to invite those musicians in the future.

It is true that there have been no exhibitions or performances by elf artists in Severton, but there are even fewer private performances by invitation. There are very, very many people who take the initiative to tour through Severington, not to mention the weak political overtones of court musicians. of.

"Why?" Mr. Xia didn't have any guesses in his mind, but my guesses were not based on what the person involved said.

As for the type and style of the music, Philipfa has not asked Mr. Xia for his opinion since then. However, on the way to the Temple of Stars, the palace messenger introduced tonight's music to me.

For example, the Magical Paradise Suite in front of you is not only the pinnacle of the field of music and art, but also involves the tuning of the magic network. It can definitely be regarded as cutting-edge research in the field of magic!

Only when the perception focuses on a specific melody, the volume will be slightly increased. At other times, it does not exist as a background, but it is like a starry sky. Even if it is just a background, it cannot be ignored.

Even in the projection plane, Mr. Xia has never seen that kind of music. At least he has seen music that is not as outstanding as it is today. It really broke my understanding of Talaf and even the elven countries in the main plane. .

A moment ago, music started playing. Although it was played by nearly two hundred musicians, it didn't feel noisy at all. Instead, it felt like it came from the distant starry sky, often playing in the background, but still looming.

In the final analysis, the projection plane is just a possibility in the past of the main plane. The main plane will develop longer and it is entirely possible to develop newer and more unique products.

It is the "Paradise Suite" that has been widely criticized in the small banquet music. The performers are all extremely skilled court musicians, but in addition to performing in the court, they also tour from time to time in Talaf and even the elven countries of the North.

These two from Cormanso, Mr. Xia nodded to us and had little communication with us.

While Mr. Xia was enjoying the music, he was chatting with Envoy Fermae, Doom and even Scott, who had arrived long before me. Although Mr. Xia and these people were relatively far away in the small hall, for the spell caster, Distance is not the issue.

To a very small extent, the music did not transcend the concept of sound itself, and even reached the spiritual realm. Even if I deliberately closed my hearing at that moment, I could still feel a strange sense of harmony and joy from the natural rhythm of the magic network around me. .

"Lord Xia, there are still few guests now, so he can no longer confirm the authority to cast spells."

Of course, it couldn't be a surprise.

At this time, listening to the faint sounds of heaven in my ears, Mr. Xia thought that he did not have certain aesthetic abilities, but it was only after children's wisdom that I could not fully understand the beauty of those sounds.

As soon as I sat down, Mr. Xia received a message from Philipfa. Then I looked around the temple and could see Philipfa's figure.

Although Young Master Xia did not take the initiative to ask, Erlan took the initiative and asked, "Master Xia, does Lord Xia know why Talaf extended an invitation to Calimshan that time?"

Banquets and even daily gatherings in various countries in the North are divided into separate meals. There is no dining table dedicated to me behind Mr. Xia.

Although both incarnations require food to survive, the function of the saint's form in terms of food is indeed as comprehensive as the astral incarnation.

Of course, I sat down before paying my respects to Prince Mian as well.

Yes, what Mr. Xia came over that time was the incarnation of a saint, but an incarnation of ectoplasm. No matter what kind of food or drink it was, if I put it in my mouth for a taste, it could not actually be digested. .

Apart from the Nese people present, the person that Young Master Xia talked to the least about was not Erlan. UU Reading www.uukｎshu.com The other party was invited to attend the midwinter dinner as the envoy of Calimshan, just like when the Northland Alliance was established a few years later. This time, Ye Erlan also came as an envoy.

The seat that Tarafu arranged for Young Master Xia was with the members of the Northland Alliance Investigation Team. Young Master Xia did come relatively early tonight, and only one or two members of the Northland Alliance Investigation Team came.

It was also this time that Shao Xia got to know each other.

At this moment, there is still a bottle of wine and a plate of fruit below. Philipfa has since confirmed to me the types of wine and fruits that I can accept.

…

After I confirmed my permission to cast spells, I saw Philifa walking from the inner passage of the temple to the seat opposite me where the lower-ranking family members were not.

Mr. Xia felt that if there was no chance, it would be better to invite the court musicians to Xiao Xia to perform. The home field advantage might not allow me to see fewer details of the performance.

And that time, because of the subsequent exchanges, the two parties were actually closer to each other than Mr. Xia, Feimae, Doum and others.

Yerlan had no scruples in telling the contents of the meeting between Helion and I.

As the music starts, it heralds the end of tonight's small banquet, and the guests who have not yet arrived hurry up and arrive one by one.

That experience once again reminded Mr. Xia that he should not only explore the projection plane, but also give up the exploration of the main plane, because he knew when he would find a surprise.

Of course, he may have been to Netheril once, or maybe he didn't go through the honeymoon period between the two countries earlier, but until now, at least Mr. Xia had never heard of such a thing.

It was a special envoy sent by Badigal. Since Mr. Xia had no contact with him since then, he just nodded and exchanged no other words.

Obviously that kind of skill has not gone beyond music, or the music of elves has not yet developed to another level.
