Chapter 1851 Sort out plans and breakthrough points
At night, Xia Duo returned to the manor and reorganized his experiences during this period.
First of all, the Nese Scroll has been found, and he has stabilized in Evereska. The next step is to complete the design of the floating city mystery lock and collect the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll.
As for exploring the demon elves or the ancient fortress of Sluvende, or other elven secrets, they can only be regarded as additional tasks. If it can be completed by the way, then do it. If it is too troublesome, it doesn't matter if you don't do it.
As for now, although the negotiations between Everesca and the five Northland countries (in the projection plane) are not going well, and the dismantling of the old mystery lock may not start immediately, this does not affect the new mystery lock project.
As long as the investigation here is completed and a relatively appropriate disassembly plan is made, he and Sergis can devote all their energy to the design of the new mystery lock.
In fact, the current investigation work is not a waste of time for Xia Duo, it will help him understand the mystery more intuitively and deeply.
In the past, although he gained a lot of mythical knowledge, he had almost no opportunities to practice it either in the previous projection plane or in the main plane.
Now there is a high-level mage who is proficient in the design of myth locks and is leading him quickly into the realm of myth locks. How can it be considered a waste of time!
Everything is going according to plan, even smoother than Xia Duo expected before entering the projection plane, but now there is a not very fatal, but also very important problem in front of him——
If the new Mystery Lock construction project cannot be started smoothly, he will lose an opportunity to actually participate in the construction of the Mystery Lock, or a chance to practice before building the Floating City Mystery Lock.
For this reason, Chateau has tried his best to clear the way for Everriska's independent career.
The current situation is that the five countries have acquiesced to the fact that Evereska is about to become independent, but they have not yet been able to reach an agreement on specific issues of interest.
Just as he said to Sergis during the day, if he could help Uvelen solve a major crisis, or use the clues of this major crisis as a bargaining chip to gain the other party's public support, it might be a starting point to break the deadlock.
In addition, during the day, Sergis mentioned that Sluvender was infiltrating Jelenstad, which is also an area that can make a fuss.
Schilling, Chateau's "body", was respected by Salvin, but he could not grasp the bottom line of the Salvin Tree Council's negotiations as long as he paid a little attention.
In this case, three of the five countries can be solved quickly, as for Akora and Sluvende.
The latter is obviously not in the same league as the other four countries. As long as Evereska chooses a side well, he can ignore the threat of Slvend to a certain extent. Of course, if he wants to do well, his investment in Slvend in the past should also be done.
Provide certain compensation.
As for Akora, in [The Birth of Projection Plane Cormanthor], after the destruction of Uvelun, Akora began a policy of isolation from the country.
What Xia Duo knew was that it was not only because they were frightened by Uvelun's sudden demise, but more importantly because the territory was small and the national power was declining, so they had to do that.
Returning to this projection plane, if Uvelun's demise is an inevitable fate, the time would be almost shortly after Evereska established its independent country.
In other words, the current Akora is almost the weakest among the five northern kingdoms. As long as Evereska promises to help it after the founding of the country, it should be considered the best to dispatch among the five kingdoms.
The reason why we are still in a stalemate is that the other four countries are not letting up, and it does not have enough voice to express concessions alone.
With this sorted out, the situation becomes much clearer.
Shado didn't know much about Sluvende's infiltration into Jelenstad, so he wasn't prepared to get involved. All he had to do was remind Ogus and the others and let them do it.
On the other hand, Uvelun, in addition to knowing that there is a crisis of annihilation of the country, actually also knows about another major event, which happened in both the main plane and [The Birth of Cormanthor in the Projection Plane]——
The contemporary crowned king of Uwelen, Intwa, died in a certain library raid. Otherwise, how can we say that the generations of crowned kings before the demise of Uwelen did not end well!
The person who took over the crown after Intwa was not his heir, or a new crowned king chosen from outside his family, but his student and lover, who became the next crowned king as Intwa's wife.
.
The fact that this is the case in both planes means that the historical inertia of this matter is large enough, and then such a result may also occur in this projection plane.
If there are no clues to the crisis of national annihilation, it would not be a bad idea to use the prophecy of Intvar's untimely death as a bargaining chip.
And in comparison, the latter is much more likely to be proven, while the former, whether in the [Projection Plane: The Birth of Cormanthor] or the main plane, does not have a relatively unified statement.
There are many rumors, and there are even rumors that it was planned by the last crowned king of Jerensta, in order to eliminate Uvelen, the biggest obstacle to the birth of Cormanthor.
Shado himself naturally does not believe in this conspiracy theory. Oceanus, the last crowned king of Jelenstad, does have the intention to promote the unification of Listal Forest, and even the unification of the entire elven world.
But in that projection plane, after becoming the king of Cormansormian, in order to appease the remnants of Uwelen, he specially sent a high mage to investigate, but in the end he could not find any useful clues.
So Shado's idea is to use the prophecy or clues of Intvar's untimely death as a bargaining chip in exchange for Uwelen's concessions. If this can be verified, he can then inform them of the crisis of national annihilation in exchange for their public support.
Open the gap from here and finally complete the negotiation.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo got up and left the study, and came to the secret room located underneath the bedroom. This was his first time here since he purchased this manor.
But he was no stranger to the secret chamber of the elf mage. After entering through the teleportation spell, the first thing that caught his eye was a large number of complex patterns composed of gold and mithril lines, which were spread all over the walls of the secret chamber.
"Oh, there is still a little inheritance!"
Xia Duo noticed that there was a pile of debris scattered in the corner of the magic circle at his feet, including spices used to boost the spirit and make the spirit more sensitive, and several magic notebooks, one of which was still open.
In addition, there are some white crystals that can stabilize the spirit, and purple gems used in some unknown rituals.
Xia Duo picked up the notes and flipped through them. The original owner was researching a ritual spell to restore the innately weak elves to normal, but judging from the records in the notes, the results might not go well.
Chateau collected the debris on the ground and prepared to let Lacres return it to the original owner after going out. After that, he sat on the ground and sat in the center of the magic circle.
Perception spread out. Although it was not the Nese magic system that he was most proficient in, the Elf magic system was not unfamiliar to him. He easily mastered the auxiliary magic circle in the secret room.
