Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1994 I've Become an Outsider?!

The dark elves' extensive logging and shipbuilding resulted in a small area of ​​forest on Dark Spirit Island. However, combined with the stone buildings, it gave the island a unique charm at first glance, according to Zhou Xu.

But Wright didn't understand these things very well. He saw that Dark Spirit Island was barren, neither as lush as the Elven Forest nor as towering as the Great Zhou Dynasty. At first glance, it was desolate and barren. He felt that the Dark Elves were living a hard life, and for a moment, he felt a little sad.

But in reality, the dark elves have lived a relatively comfortable life at sea all these years, despite the wind and sun. At least they haven't gone hungry much.

As mentioned in the stories of the Dark Elves, after setting sail, the Dark Elves made their living by fishing.

Since Eredar and his companions had already found Darkspirit Isle following the story, they naturally followed the story after landing on the island and began weaving fishing nets and going out to sea to fish.

In this era, sea fish had not yet been overfished, and fish resources were abundant. Combined with some fruits and vegetables on the island, and a little grain grown casually, it was enough for the dark elves to fill their stomachs.

Stepping off the destroyer, Zhou Xu's first intention upon arriving at Dark Spirit Island was undoubtedly to visit the site of the Dark Elves' heritage. However, Eredar stopped and glanced at Wright, who was following behind him.

Zhou Xu immediately understood.

"Hey Wright, why don't you wait on the ship for a bit?"

"..."

Wright was taken aback when he heard this, but he wasn't stupid. He quickly understood the meaning behind Zhou Xu's words and was immediately confused.

Good grief, am I now an outsider?!

But despite the mess, Wright was a sensible person, mainly because he was thin-skinned. Since the meaning was already so obvious, he naturally wouldn't shamelessly continue to follow.

The island wasn't very large. Considering that the dark elves relied on the sea for their livelihood and often needed to go out to sea to fish, as well as build ships, their residences on the island were not far from the port.

Passing through the rather plainly planned rock building complex and a small patch of woodland behind it, what comes into view is a scene of broken walls and ruins.

"These are ancient ruins; they existed long before we landed on this island."

Ereda led the way, introducing Zhou Xu and Hilke as they walked.

Passing through the broken walls and ruins, a huge black stone tablet came into Zhou Xu's view amidst the ruins ahead.

This must be the legacy left to them by their ancestors.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Zhou Xu quickly scanned his surroundings. At the same time, he activated his Eye of Insight, and his mental perception spread out in all directions.

[No barrier?]

[No, it's because too much time has passed; the barrier has dissipated.]

After all, the ancestor of the dark elves was the youngest son of the elven god, which, in terms of time, likely predates even the known ancient civilizations.

During this time, Ereda was clearly unaware of the barrier and simply led Zhou Xu to the huge black stone tablet.

The black stone tablet in front of us is at least seven or eight meters tall.

The material is less a black stone and more a special crystal with a texture similar to quartz.

However, the crystal was a deep black, appearing to be completely opaque, and its surface was covered with dense inscriptions.

Zhou Xu dared not examine the inscription closely. He had learned his lesson.

Even if the ancestors of the Dark Elves were not strong enough, they could not have been only at the Nascent Soul Realm or the Transcendent Realm. Under this premise, if they rashly tried to peek at the inheritance stone tablet left by the other party, and the other party had set up a defensive barrier on it, they would immediately be attacked and suffer backlash.

"The legacy inscribed on this stone tablet should only be activated by those who possess the legacy of the Dark Elves, right?"

"Yes."

Eredar nodded, which was the main reason he could bring Zhou Xu here without any hesitation.

This heritage stele is only useful to the dark elves. To other races, or even other branches of the elven race, it is just a simple stele with no other value.

This wasn't the first time Zhou Xu had seen such a heritage facility. His purpose in coming here was less to peek into the heritage within and more to learn the manufacturing techniques of this type of facility.

If he can learn this, then in the future, all officials, soldiers, and even staff from all walks of life in their Great Zhou Dynasty will be able to directly obtain the relevant ranks or mantras through this kind of inheritance facility, as long as they meet the conditions.

In the long run, it will save him a lot of effort.

However, he only came over to check it out on the way and did not rush to start research.

I also asked Ereda a question.

"What other legacy exists here besides your Black Knight?"

Back when Zhou Xu activated the Eye of Secrets to check the Eredar panel, he had already sensed that their Emperor must have mastered some special mantra that allowed him to see through some of the target's information.

Therefore, at this moment, Ereda was not too surprised that Zhou Xu directly called out his Black Knight class.

They also gave a very straightforward answer.

"Currently, the classes bestowed upon us Dark Elves by the Inheritance Stone, besides my Black Knight, include Dark Warrior, Dark Elf Mage, Dark Elf Spearman, and Dark Elf Crossbowman..."

As Zhou Xu listened to Eredar's report, he recalled the composition of the dark elf forces he had already seen.

Zhou Xu had seen most of the unit types mentioned in the report in the Dark Elf forces before.

This unexpected turn of events is quite reasonable. The main forces in both the front and back rows have been deployed. Although the Dark Elf army is not large in scale, it is small but complete, with all the necessary components.

After seeing the Dark Elf's legacy stele, Zhou Xu wasn't in a hurry to leave. Since he was already there, he might as well take the opportunity to arrange the stationing work on Dark Spirit Island and check the island's resources.

The relevant staff are available in the new district; with railways already in place on both sides, they can simply be transferred over.

The rather awkward thing now is that most of the Dark Elves' Blacksail warships were sunk in the previous battle.

Although their Great Zhou's destroyer 004 was larger than the Black Sail warship, there was only one of them, and the shipyard couldn't build a second one in a short time.

Transporting supplies and people from the mainland to Dark Spirit Island would be a huge undertaking if all the work were done on a single destroyer.

With no other option, Zhou Xu had to temporarily deploy airships to assist in the transportation operation.
