Chapter 399: Elf Papermaking

Training Camp.
Tyron was somewhat surprised by Ryan's arrival. These underage elves usually only come to receive training in the morning, and the afternoon is completely time for play and entertainment.
He rarely sees any elves who come to him in the afternoon. In this case, he usually asks for something, "Little guy, what can I do?"
"Master Tyron, I heard that there is Lord City Lord's library in the Silver Light Tower, I want to go in and take a look." Xia Duo said directly.
Under normal circumstances, who would have thought that the elf Ryan had already changed a core!
"Silver Light Tower?" Tai Lun hesitated, not that he could not give permission, but worried that Ryan would encounter an accident inside. You must know that Silver Light Tower can connect the underground world.
It is not a day or two for those damned fallen men to attack the Mithril Mine. From time to time, news spread that some elves were assassinated by drow assassins in the Silver Tower.
After thinking about it, he didn't refuse, but just said, "Let's do this, I will take you there."
Tyron thought of Ryan's parents who had fought with him. He couldn't let Ryan be in danger. Since the little guy wanted to go to the library, he would personally protect it.
It's just that Tyron's seemed to be a little troublesome for Xia Duo, but he finally achieved his goal, and he didn't want to make any more troubles.
"Thank you, Lord Tyron."
...
Soon, Xia Duo came to the Silver Light Pagoda again, but this time with Tyron's company, the soldiers on patrol were no longer blocked.
After entering the Silver Light Pagoda, Xia Duo found that it was different from the Mage Tower. There were few magic circles similar to the Tower of Time, and there was no room for expansion.
It is more similar to an ordinary high tower, except that a miniature lock is set inside, and the effect is almost nothing. It only has a simple alarm function, and does not have the complex functions similar to the Tower of Time.
There are two spiral staircases in the tower, spiraling up along the inner wall of the Silver Light Tower. As he walks, Tyron also introduces Chateau:
"The underground is the Mithril Mine. The first, second and third floors are the camps for rotating soldiers. The library is on the fourth floor, which is where we are going now."
"Is there any more on it?"
"Of course it is the residence of the general and the city lord, and in the future you will also get the place you deserve!"
"Lord Tyronn, you—"
"I do too, but because I am responsible for taking care of you little guys, I usually live outside."
After that, Xia Duo stopped talking, but looked forward to watching the stairs in front of him run down his feet, getting closer and closer to the destination.
After a while, the two reached the fourth floor.
Of course, the fourth floor is not just the library. It seems that there is a leisure place. Xia Duo saw a few elves chatting while drinking, and it seemed very leisurely.
After he entered the library, he found that Tyrann did not follow in, but went to find other elves to drink.
However, this is convenient for Xia Duo. If someone keeps staring at him, he will feel very uncomfortable.
The books in Silver City are different from the books in Sukanvisa City projected earlier.
Mainly in terms of material, the book of Sukanvisa City is cut out by magical processing of certain leaves, and the vein patterns can be clearly seen on each page.
And the books of Silver City seem to be-ordinary paper?
Xia Duo carefully kneaded a corner of the paper in the book, and found that it was indeed very similar to the ordinary paper on the earth, without the unique feel of parchment or leaf paper.
Elves have papermaking skills?
Xia Duo didn't doubt that after all, Netheril could make paper, but it didn't make sense that the elves had been developing for so many years, but the effect of this paper was a little too outstanding.
After opening several books, there is no obvious difference in the materials inside, just like industrial products produced on an assembly line.
Looking at the various books in this library with roughly the same specifications, Xia Duo's first idea was to popularize knowledge.
Then there are magic scrolls. If this kind of paper can be used to make magic scrolls, with printing, it can even produce semi-finished magic scrolls in batches, reducing the work of the mage to the last step-Link Magic Network.
Then the cost of the magic scroll will definitely be less.
For a while, Xia Duo was itching and wanted to experiment immediately, but after finally coming to the library, he must make full use of it.
I will find Tylen to accompany me next time, and I don't know when it will be.
In the library, there are a large number of books, most of them are art, such as poetry, literature, music, etc., and there are few magic.
In other words, magic is also classified as art, which only occupies a part of the whole, and many of them are mixed with other arts, and it is troublesome to distinguish them.
For example, this book "Sixteen Variant Forms of Poetry Structure in the Fourth Reza Period of McIletta" looks like a book of poetry, but it actually contains quite a few magical principles.
Many of the elves' poems can be related to magic. Of course, for such an obvious book title, Xia Duo doesn't need to check it carefully~EbookFREE.me~ It can be determined that it has nothing to do with the extraction of Mithril.
But if it is a book like "A Journey to the Underworld", "Children of the Rock" or "Jewelry Skills", then you need to check carefully, maybe which page records the method of mithril extraction!
There is no special technical book here in Yinguang City, similar to "Postpartum Care of Sows on the Earth" that is straight to the point. They all like to turn a few turns.
However, the previously projected city of Sukanvisa has a special magic book. Although Chateau is not sure whether the elves on the main plane are like this, only from the projection plane, the decline of the elves is not unreasonable.
In addition to the loss of a large number of people in the Crown War, which lasted for thousands of years, this approach of self-castration may also be an important reason.
Until it was getting dark, Xia Duo still failed to find a way to refine Mithril, but Tyron had been sent to urge him to leave, and Xia Duo had to give up temporarily.
Later, he will think of a way to come here, but fortunately, he was originally prepared to make full use of the time in the projection plane to rush up the casting level.
Although it is not possible to upgrade here, it can fill up the current "experience points", and when you return to the main plane, a freshly baked high-level mage will appear.
As long as there is no sudden disappearance of the projection plane, time is quite ample.
...
After leaving the Silver Light Pagoda, Chateau and Tyron returned to the training camp together. This is not only a training place, but also a place to eat. Most war orphans would eat here if they were not taken care of by relatives and friends.
After simply eating some bread and barbecue, Xia Duo was ready to go home. As for the nightlife, there was no need to think about it. Silver City didn't have this stuff.
And he didn't want to waste time.
