Chapter 1266 Three Schools’ Project Sharing Catalog, Entering the Institute
Although that knowledge may be a little behind compared to the remnants of the empire that have developed for nearly a hundred years, there are certainly some who are not behind.
Moreover, this is already the easiest harvest for Xia Duo to find in this projection plane. In case the resurrection spell is not found, the harvest here is considered a worthwhile trip.
But when he came to the ruins of the library and saw the scene that had been cleared away, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's really too late."
The timeline he is currently in is about a hundred years after the empire was destroyed. According to "Mecard"'s memory, after the destruction, there were more than 20 great arcanists who survived, which was almost half of the empire's heyday.
Of course, the empire was destroyed during its heyday.
There are more than 20 great arcanists. For nearly a hundred years, even if they do it themselves, it is time to recover most of the resources and data.
Fortunately, before Xia Duo came, he didn't have the mentality that he must find something. He had more of a fluke mentality. If others forgot or didn't find it, then he would have a chance.
Now that he has failed, he will not be disappointed.
Moreover, Cormanthor has been searching for the remnants of the empire. Even the Grand Arcanist cannot carry out excavations in sensitive areas like Severton with great fanfare. There must be "fish" here that slip through the net.
It’s just a matter of walking a few more places.
…
Then, Chateau searched inside the college again, focusing on the laboratory and the principal's private residence.
In these places, he found some "fish that slipped through the net", materials and so on, and directly skipped them. There were a total of twelve piles of experimental records that were really valuable.
Yes, use "heap", not volume.
Those experimental record books were held down by the broken stones of the roof, and were almost unaffected by chaotic magic. After nearly a hundred years, they are still well preserved.
In addition, several books were found in the principal's private residence. Among them, Sha Duo believed that the most important one was a catalog of subjects shared by the Imperial Academy of Magic.
It is jointly compiled by the three magic schools in Severington, mainly to avoid duplication of topics leading to waste of resources. It is also a win-win cooperation to a certain extent to cope with the pressure of foreign colleges.
This book is called "Table of Contents", but it actually includes the actual progress of the projects at the three schools, but it lacks many details.
But in magic research, ideas definitely account for a large proportion.
Before the destruction of the empire, only principals and a few senior professors were eligible to own such books. Ordinary teachers, such as Eddie, the incarnation of Chateau at that time, were not assigned to them even if they were transferred from real-power departments such as the Judgment Department. Even one.
It is a pity that Xia Duo only found this one in the principal's residence this time, which was the first issue of the shared directory. This should be the latest issue at that time.
I don’t know if it was destroyed by the magic network riot, or if it has been picked up by early excavators.
If you can find all the shared directories of previous issues, you may be able to have a more comprehensive and thorough understanding of the development of magic in the Arcane Empire.
Moreover, these knowledge systems can also allow Shado to bring him back to the main plane and recreate it in the Tower of Time, just like the prototype of an arcane empire.
In Xia Duo's view, the context of these developments is more important than specific magic and technology.
…
After leaving the Magic Academy, Xia Duo immediately went to the Judgment Department, which he was more familiar with. However, he did not find many valuable things in the Judgment Department because there were previous people who had visited here.
Except for some trial documents, there was nothing else. He originally thought he would find some profound psychic spells here, but he didn't expect to find anything.
But think about it, such an important place as the Judgment Department will definitely be searched intensively. If there is any magic information, it should be taken away as soon as possible.
Only those trial documents were abandoned by the searchers when the empire was destroyed, and then discovered by Sha Duo.
But it doesn't make much sense for Xia Duo to take this thing. The most he can do is take it back to Leiden and provide him with some trial cases in the magical society.
…
After the Judgment Department, Shado went to the First and Third Magic Academy, the Resurrection Department, the Supervision Department, the Selection Department, and even the Conservation Department, but the further he went, the less he discovered.
It’s not that there are fewer written records to be found, but that there are fewer and fewer valuable things.
Like the Department of Child Care, the headquarters of the Department of Child Care in Severington, the capital, naturally does not need to provide a place for pregnant women and babies to rest and care. It is more like a research department to study assisted reproduction and child care-related topics.
But a place like this is a top priority for the remnants of the empire who have the Grand Arcanist to make strategic plans.
In order to avoid Cormanthor's search, most of the empire's remnants live underground. If there are no conservation measures, the population will become smaller and smaller. There will be powerful enemies outside and a population crisis inside. If things go on like this, the empire will completely disappear.
What Xia Duo can find here is some lists of pregnant women and babies, but nothing else.
There is also the Selection Department, which involves a key figure in the rise of the empire such as the Great Sage. Sha Duo can't find even a piece of paper here.
I don't know if it's the surviving great arcanist of the empire or the elves brought by Corman. In short, this place has been searched extremely clean. It is the cleanest among the key departments of the empire that Sha Duo has visited, with almost no residue.
"It looks like we can only go to the institute to have a look!"
In fact, Xia Duo knew that the research institute was as important as the Conservation Department and the Selection Department. In such an important place, whether it was the survivors of the empire or the elves of Cormanthor, the search priority must be extremely high.
How many valuable things can be left for him there now?
However, based on the idea of "Come here, come here", Xia Duo decided to go to the institute to have a look. He was betting that humans were not qualified to search carefully, and that the elves made some omissions because they were not familiar with it.
…
The Imperial Academy is located in the north of Sevington, facing the sea. Sevington on the main plane is almost half of the old city.
Compared with the imperial departments that Sha Duo searched before, the research institute occupies the largest area, almost equal to the combined area of those departments.
You know, that included three magic academies before.
This shows what kind of status the institute has in the Arcane Empire!
But no matter how lofty it was in the past, it is now just a ruin. Even because it has a higher proportion of magic buildings and facilities, the degree of dilapidation here is more serious than other areas.
But when Sha Duo actually came here, he stopped.
There is no other reason, because there is a large area of Deviled Silence Zone in front of them, covering almost half of the research institute area.
After thinking about it, Xia Duo did not enter the Dead Silence Zone of the Magic Network after all. Although the Dead Silence Zone itself did not pose any threat to him, it would be too bad if he met other people.
If you meet an elf hunter, you may be able to fight with the opponent for a few rounds by relying on the swordsinger's martial arts skills that you haven't reviewed for a long time. Naturally, you will inevitably lose in the end; (ordinary elf mages cannot cast spells in the dead zone)
And if he encounters an arcanist, he will have no room for resistance. (Expand the arcane fire to become a miniature magic net, which can cast spells)
This was not the way he wanted to leave the projection plane.
