Chapter 34 The Treasure of the Star Elf(2/3)

Unfortunately, this place is more like a country of darkness and has nothing to do with the beautiful starry sky of Hildor.

The sky looks like a dark cloudy midnight.

Despite this, some magic light sources remain in the castle.

The outer walls of the castle tower are decorated with shiny exteriors formed by demon fire, which artistically outline their outlines.

"This semi-plane has no real weather changes. A light breeze is constantly blew from the ocean around the castle, but it does not bring about precipitation or other weather phenomena."

Myrcella nodded thoughtfully, letting the breeze blow his loose red-brown hair, telling Brian the conclusion he came to, "The water temperature and temperature of the semi-plane have also remained at around 18 degrees."

Characteristics of the Hildeyou semi-plane:

——Light and heavy force

——Elapsed time (two days in a half plane are equivalent to one day in the main matter plane).

——Limited shape, self-contained shape (connected to Youmulin, but not to the ether plane).

——Add to change.

——No elemental or energy characteristics.

——Enhanced magic (singing sonic spells and stars-related spells, automatically obtain super magic power, and the spell level is increased by two levels).

…………

Tens of centuries ago, the star elves lived in the depths of the Youmu Forest.

Faced with the Neseril invaders who were constantly developing colonies in the ancient forests along the Wizards Bay, the Star Elf decided to withdraw all of them from Feiren.

The high elves mages built a network of stone rings covering the entire forest, and then communicated with the stars in the sky through these stone tablets, ran an extremely powerful spell, and created a magical semi-plane for the star elves.

When the spell is completed, most of the star elves leave Feiren and head to this country called Hildyou.

In the end, the star elf living here was transformed into an undead creature by Lich Morel and fell into a long-standing sleep.

When Brian recalled the history of the semi-plane, he immediately realized that the reason why Hildeyou became like this is probably inseparable from the lich.

Then, he no longer spent time, and walked with Myrcella on the bridge leading to the castle together, and continued to walk forward, looking for the castle's mysterious tower.

Each bridge here looks like a real-world glass trail, made of 2 cm thick and sturdy transparent glass, and the surface also has a rough structure like a cobblestone pavement to prevent people walking on it from falling.

The support point of the bridge is only at the connection with the tower. It seems to be crumbling and can't withstand weight breaks at any time, but it is still solid and durable so far.

Brian also deliberately jumped hard twice, which attracted the female lord beside him to roll his eyes.

And below each bridge, there is sparkling blue light flowing, providing lighting for the entire bridge.

Brian led Myrcella to the end of the bridge without any harm.

The tower-shaped glass building that appeared in front of them was suspended in the air 10 meters high on the water surface, and three glass bridges connected and supported it from different directions.

After looking at it, people can't help but feel that three bridges are only 2 cm thick, which cannot support tower-shaped glass buildings.

However, it was these seemingly fragile glass bridges that supported the castle for decades.

One of the glass bridges is 20 meters high and connects the upper floor of the hub, while the other two are connected to the lower floor 10 meters low.

A spiral staircase is located in a 5-meter area in the middle of the building, connecting the upper and lower floors and a roof 30 meters high from the sea.

Brian and Myrcella share detailed information about Hildyou from Lich Morel, including his own knowledge.

The building that appeared before the two men, known as the "Welcome Tower" during the heyday of the castle, was the place where the castle owners welcomed guests, highlighting the tradition of star elves' hospitality.

Moreover, all facilities for receiving guests are set up in a reasonable place to make them as comfortable as possible here.

Whenever guests are allowed to enter the castle, they will be allowed to read the legends of the Mystery Tower or visit the tomb chambers of the mausoleum, but they will never have the right to enter the Portal Control Center unless they are the Star Elves nobles or their agents.

This tower is an irregular octagonal spire built with opaque glass, with a bridge on different heights on its three sides.

The pyramid-shaped top is made of transparent glass and emits a light like a lighthouse.

All the walls, floors and ceilings in the castle are seamlessly combined with 20 cm thick and blessed magic glass.

Floors, ceilings and interior walls are usually opaque, providing privacy-saving spaces for former residents, but exterior walls are generally translucent or transparent tops.

The translucent exterior wall will cast some light blue, and all other details will be obscured by distorted images except for the discovery of movement and light sources.

Once upon a time, residents inside could use orders to activate magic attached to the exterior walls, making a certain part of the walls transparent and used as windows.

But now this magic has disappeared and no other effect can be created.

The doors in the castle are also embedded in the wall with opaque glass plates, which can be distinguished by their special borders. The material is exactly the same as the wall. The opening method is by pulling sideways, and you can cut into the hollow wall next to it by just pushing it slightly.

There are no locks on the door, which is also because the lock function is part of the dissipated magic in the castle.

Brian and Myrcella entered the hall of the Welcome Tower and immediately felt the stench emitted by the rotten skeletons spreading on the floor, filling the air.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The fragments of zombies and skeletons fell together with the armed orcs, and they still maintained their fighting posture before they died.

They ignored these things. After all, after the Lich ended the half-plane war, there were no living creatures here, so they naturally would not worry about any dangers.

Near the north wall of the room, Brian found a dim crystal statue erected in it.

The statue is an elf woman in a flowing robe with her arms slightly spread out, her palms facing upward, and a happy expression on her face as if she was welcoming someone.

Brian took Myrcella and walked towards the half-open arch on the wall behind the statue.

It looks like a fountain bathroom.

A gorgeous fountain stands in the center of the room, a flowing abstract design that reminds people of the sparkling feeling of sunshine shining on the water.

A huge pool surrounds the fountain, and the edge of the pool is designed to be conveniently seated in the water, allowing guests to soak in the water and enjoy the mist sprayed by the fountain.

The water in the fountain is constantly absorbed from the rough sea underground through pipes, and the salt is removed by magic, filtered, and heated to the appropriate temperature, and then sprayed from the fountain into the room. There are drainage ditches at the bottom of the fountain and the edge of the pool, so that the water is flowing back into the sea.

From this we can see that the star elves are still very good at enjoying life.

Brian didn't delay here for too long. He led Myrcella through the main living room, the central corridor hall, the balcony, the back door entrance, and finally arrived at their destination, a towering glass tower.

The tower is a very high square building made of translucent glass, and a square tower will also protrude from the center of each wall.

The flat roof has a pyramid tower top made of transparent glass in the center of the flat roof.

Each layer of this tower has a light source, which will emit a ghostly light from the translucent walls, and the transparent tower top will emit a bright light like a lighthouse.

Seeing this, Brian realized that in the sky at sea level 30 meters high, there was a glass bridge connecting the mysterious tower.

If I had known it, I wouldn't have taken so many detours.

There is no doubt that this building was once the Tower of Mystery, the Great Library of Tilerintira and the entire Academic Centre of Hildeyou.

The tower and the facilities in it were traditionally managed by a Star Elf High Mage as the dean.

Any visitor must carefully review his character and experience before he will be allowed to view various knowledge collected in the tower.

The dean lives on the bottom floor of the tower, and it is said that it is a secret laboratory where only the most promising students in the tower can enter.

Many of the high spells of the star elves were created here, and this is also the last dean, where Morrell Dull Walker, who attempted to rule Hildea, became a betrayer.

The two soon arrived at the Mystery Library where Star Elf magic knowledge was stored.

This bright lobby is 20 meters high, with interior walls made of transparent glass extending from four corners of the room to the center, and the height is from the floor to the ceiling.

There are thousands of small squares on these walls, and some additional branches, with the same squares on them, and in the center of the room, a small marble platform several centimeters tall stands.

Surrounding the platform, at the ends of the four inner walls are four crystal half-body statues placed on glass bases.

"It is worthy of being a star elf race, and even the props for storing knowledge are unique."

At this moment, Myrcella was completely attracted by the thousands of items in small squares on the wall, and she played with it with her love.

Because there is a piece of jewelry stored in each small square, which looks like a tear and is as crystal clear as winter ice.

Brian nodded with deep emotion.

This was once the great library of Tirintira, the Mystery Library, which preserves all the knowledge and magic of creation that the Star Elf has collected over hundreds of centuries.

Instead of using perishable scrolls or books to record these ordinary or magical knowledge, Star Elf uses a more lasting method.

They used magic to store all their knowledge into a rare gem originating from Feren and called the "Tear of Kings" in the world.

The King's Tears is an extremely rare and extremely hard gem in Ferren, and it has even been proven that this gem cannot be destroyed by a furnace or anvil.

This tear-like gem is not only crystal clear inside but also has a smooth surface. It is sometimes called "Frozen Tears" or "Lich Tears".

Legend has it that they are the tears crystals of the long-dead necromancer king. Each gem contains some images, including those he loved, and extremely terrifying events. No matter which one it was, it made the king shed tears.

Regardless of whether the legend is true or not, the Star Elf discovered a rich gem ore somewhere and used its characteristics to store image and sound information.

Putting the gem on a special device can retell the information stored in it in a low voice, and other star elves can learn this information.

In other words, each gem here stores a certain amount of information.

Tens of thousands of tears of the king are stored in the grids on these walls, forming a sea of ​​knowledge that the star elves have inherited for tens of thousands of years.

However, these grids are not marked, and the King's Tears cannot be distinguished from the appearance, so it is definitely not possible to find a specific gem without relying on the special magic here.

"It's so strange that the detection magic can't detect the knowledge stored in it."

After the freshness, Myrcella came to Brian, stroked her slightly scattered hair behind her head, and frowned and said, "These star elves don't even have a note on the label. I'm curious how they used to quickly find the knowledge they needed from tens of thousands of gems."

"There is a marble platform there." Brian pointed his finger and reminded Myrcella with a smile:
