The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 583 Shadowless Mountain

The archers of the Winged Race owe their skills entirely to their superior eyesight, and often, they must use it in conjunction with their ability to fly.

Whether it's eyesight or wings, Moran would have a hard time imitating them using magic.

Therefore, this part of the memory was of limited use to Moran herself, but that did not prevent her from integrating this memory and designing and producing the {Knowledge Card - Winged Archer Training Manual} series of cards.

She can use it herself, but she can also sell it to earn magic power.

The light magic of the Winged Race is actually somewhat similar to that of the witches.

The Winged Race's bloodline leans towards light elemental power, which can be easily converted into pure light elemental power.

Then, through mental control, one can manipulate the light elemental power transformed from the power of one's bloodline to manifest various effects and cast spells.

Otherwise, the original winged race wouldn't have been able to develop so much light magic based solely on a book left by the angels titled "The Properties and Applications of the Light Element."

The Winged Race's light magic and the Witch's light magic have similar casting principles, so the Witch can learn them without any pain.

However, the witches' development and application of light elemental power are much stronger than those of the Winged Race. Light magic encompasses all aspects and is more practical.

The Winged Race's light magic is combat-oriented, focusing on attack, defense, and support; there is not a single spell for daily life.

There wasn't even a single spell that utilized the basic property of the light element: "illumination."

Moran estimated that it was because the Winged Clan had lived on the Light-Suspended Cliff for generations, and even at night, the Light-Suspended Cliff was illuminated by light element crystals.

They also particularly like to use the sap of the angel vine. They apply the sap to their wings or containers, and it will glow in the dark.

The sacred mountain range is rich in light elemental energy, and there are many plants that can glow at night.

The Winged Race probably didn't have any need for lighting, so naturally they wouldn't have thought of designing a special lighting spell.

With the mindset of learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses and selectively studying the best, Moran compared the Winged Race's light magic system with the Witch's light magic system. In the end, he only found one aspect of the Winged Race's light magic system: the light element characteristic that the Witch's light magic generally overlooked but that the Winged Race's light magic widely utilized.

When the force of light element bursts out within a certain range, by blocking the propagation of light and changing the propagation path of light, the influence of light is greatly reduced outside the range, and only transfers and collides within a certain range.

Using this technique, Moran enhanced the spell's effect, giving it the same fixed-range blinding effect as the Winged Race's Shining Light. It would no longer blind enemies indiscriminately, forcing them to close their eyes or wear sunglasses beforehand.

The Winged Race members were in their prime, and even the most talented members of the hunting team could only find this much of value in their memories. Moran lost interest in exploring the Winged Race's heritage further. He used the Winged Race's blood as material for the Book of Cards to create the {Winged Race Blood Card} for Lilith to study before continuing his journey.

Passing by a lush, extinct volcano, Moran checked the map several times before confirming that this was indeed the homeland of the Morning Star Dwarves—Shadowless Mountain.

However, the various materials she read clearly stated that Wuying Mountain was barren, devoid of any magical beast activity, and a mountain without any shadows. At any time, every corner of this mountain was bathed in rich light elements.

However, the plants that are common in the Sacred Mountains are now growing well on Shadowless Mountain. It can only be determined by the age of the plants that they have grown. The plants on Shadowless Mountain must have just grown up, at most no more than ten years ago.

Under the sunlight, the shadows cast by the flowers, grass, and trees were everywhere, completely contradicting the name "Shadowless Mountain." "Wasn't it said that the Morning Star Dwarves accidentally fell into a lake of liquid light element, contracted light element disease, and underwent a physical mutation, becoming unable to survive in the shadows and needing sunlight?"

Moran was somewhat puzzled.

The Shadowless Mountain is covered in vegetation, casting shadows even in broad daylight. Where are the Morning Star Dwarves who used to live here?
Moran controlled the flying carpet to fly towards the top of the mountain. She remembered that there should be a lake formed by the condensation of liquid light elements at the top of Shadowless Mountain. The original Morning Star Dwarves were infected with the Light Element Disease in that lake and could never leave Shadowless Mountain again.

The higher you go up the mountain, the sparser the vegetation seems to become.

The trees gradually disappeared, leaving only wildflowers and weeds.

Upon reaching the summit, verdant meadows surround the light element crystal sand beach.

The outermost light element crystals are dimmer, indicating that there is not much light element energy left inside.

In the very center is a small puddle about the size of a washbasin, but the water in it is all liquid light element.

Beside a pool of light element water, a dwarf with translucent skin lay there, absorbing the sunlight and the light elemental power in the surrounding air, with clearly visible light patterns flowing within his body.

His features were so distinctive that Moran immediately recognized him as a Morning Star dwarf.

Like plants, they can perform photosynthesis, absorbing the light elemental force from sunlight and air to maintain their bodily functions and even draw upon magical energy.

No, it shouldn't be "them" now, it's "him".

The volcanic lake, which was originally full of light elements, has been reduced to a small puddle, and even the light element crystals have degenerated into ordinary stones.

The living environment of the Morning Star Dwarves, who depend on the power of the light element for survival, has been repeatedly compressed, until only this small area of ​​Shadowless Land, about a hundred square meters in size, remains.

If Moran had arrived any later, the last Morningstar dwarves would probably have been wiped out.

Judging from his appearance, he seems to be a minor, and his magic fluctuations are not yet at the intermediate level.

Moran had originally arrived using an invisibility shield, but upon discovering that only a weak Morning Star dwarf child remained at Shadowless Mountain, he deactivated the shield and peeked out from the flying carpet:
"Hey! Are you alright? What happened at Shadowless Mountain? Why are you the only Morning Star dwarf here?"

The liquid light element lake in Wuying Mountain was formed by the light elemental force condensed from the abundant light attribute mineral veins in the mountain, so it shouldn't have dried up so quickly.

The little Morning Star dwarf, lying by the Radiant Lake, now reduced to a small puddle, opened his eyes. His bright eyes reflected the curious witch. He tried to speak, but nothing came out.

Moran noticed that he was motionless, with only his eyes fixed on her. She was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly remembered reading in a book that the Morning Star Dwarves had to regularly drink a wine from the underground world that contained trace amounts of dark element in order to maintain the elemental balance of their bodies. Otherwise, their entire bodies would become vitrified and eventually shatter into crystals filled with light elemental power.

Could the light element crystals by the puddle be the corpses of the Morning Star dwarves?

She searched the card book: "Found it! {Food Card - Dark Rock Beer}!"
