Chapter 3264: The State of Elven Men
The elven institution of research and development spanned an enormous area, comprising of organic infrastructure for the main purpose of botanical biotechnology, making it haven of technological advance for the dark elves.

The trees split as an opening emerged in the vast forests of the institution.
From within, a dark elf in what resembled a lab coat comprised of organic fibers emerged from within, atop an elevating branch that carried him along with it. Rui found it curious that a man had been sent to receive him to the institution rather than a woman, considering that he had yet to interact with a single male elf at that point.
"Welcome to the Institution of Research and Development, Your Highness," the man remarked with a gentle smile. "My name is Vertail, the director of the elven biological research department and I will be guiding you through our institution and help you get what you need."
"Pleasure to meet you," Rui replied with a nod.
"Then, please follow me."
The two of them lowered themselves as they entered the research facility, descending past the canopy ceiling.
Within the botanical facility, he found himself in a set of corridors that led to many different facilities that each had glass doors of sorts, displaying exactly what they were up to. Within most of them, Rui could tell that they were conducting experiments on plant and tree tissue, often with whole test subjects at large, to test out new technology and gather more empirical data.
From just a single glance, he caught attempts to increase the durability of organic tissue, as well as attempts to increase the rate of growth of wood, and even attempts to increase the density of flora networks.
