Evereska, in the high teleportation hall of Genting Tower.
Elder Modi brought a group of subordinates here to welcome the arrival of the Elf Court envoy, but recently besides the envoy, there was another thing that made him, and even the entire Council of Elders, feel upset.
That is, the original authority that should have completely disappeared in the long river of history is suspected to be revived. What this means, almost all the elders know it well, but it is difficult to declare it.
The reason is simply that the current Council of Elders only controls less than one-third of the original authority, and most of the rest are lost in the inheritance from the first to the second generation.
Although this does not affect their rule, they can only do some update and maintenance work for the current Mystic Locks. It is delusional to want to adjust and modify the main functions. Doing so rashly will only trigger the Mystic Locks to counterattack and even collapse faster.
.
Unless the Mystery Lock is dismantled and rebuilt, the forces in Evereska City have been entangled for more than a thousand years. How many non-pioneering lords dare to tear down the foundation of their own rule and start over?
As for the Arcanist system, although it originated from Everriska, it also brought more criticism and pressure from the outside world to Everriska.
Now what the Council of Elders hopes is that this matter will be over as soon as possible and that Everriska will stay away from the public's attention.
…
While he was thinking about it, Elder Modi noticed a stress reaction in the portal. The vibration of the magic network caused by it even interfered with the air in the real world, emitting a buzzing sound that was difficult to hear with the naked ear, making the subordinates behind him a little distracted.
.
"Cheer up and don't let the envoy find fault! That's a member of the Changshou family, and even I have to deal with it carefully!"
Modi lowered his voice and scolded him. At this time, the portal had been completely opened. The first people to step forward were two sword-wielding guards with flashing auras. After confirming that there was no problem here, one of them sent a signal to the other side of the portal.
.
After that, the envoy appeared, a golden elf mage wearing golden armor and holding a scepter. Behind him, another group of ten sword-holding guards similar to the two who came in before filed out.
Upon seeing this, Elder Modi quickly stepped forward to salute, but midway through the salute, a look of surprise and horror appeared in Modi's eyes. Just as he opened his mouth to remind him, the portal behind the envoy team suddenly turned into pure black that could swallow up all light.
Immediately afterwards, the black color spread rapidly outward. As soon as Elder Modi said the words of reminder, he felt an unparalleled restraining force restraining him in place, and even his ability to cast spells was stripped away.
At this moment, unprecedented fear surged into Modi's heart. He moved his lips twice and could no longer make any sound.
When he came back to his senses, the sword-wielding guards who had been shining brightly just now had fallen to the ground, and the most important elf court envoy from the longevity family had disappeared without a trace.
"What a disaster!"
Modi suddenly felt that something was not good. At the moment, he did not care about appeasing the remaining envoys and followers, let alone the subordinates he had brought to support the scene. He teleported away directly, and at the same time began to summon the other elders to prepare to discuss subsequent countermeasures.
…
And on the other side.
In the mountains north of Everriska, Xia Duo, who had just kidnapped the elf court envoy, had not gone too far. He knew very well that he could not hide it for too long, whether it was Everriska or the demons.
Descent elves.
The disappearance of a high-ranking mage and the disappearance of a senior mage are completely different concepts. The former will allow relevant stakeholders to invest maximum efforts and start search, rescue, and even revenge as quickly as possible.
Shado had to seize the time, so he simply didn't go around much and came here directly after leaving Everesca.
"Consciousness Cage, a good thing!"
A high mage who has lost his ability to cast spells is not much better than a goblin. To Xia Duo, he is nothing more than meat on the chopping board, to be kneaded by him.
Soon, he made a copy of his consciousness. Fortunately, a consciousness cage materialized before he left the projection plane.
Otherwise, there is really no good way to interrogate a high mage now.
Of course it's easy to kill, but it's almost impossible to get the secret out of the other party's mouth, even if the other party has lost the ability to cast spells.
Thinking about the demon elf Colit who was captured before, Shado had no hope of the outcome of this direct interrogation. The only chance was to make a copy of his consciousness while he was unable to resist.
If there is only one copy of consciousness, it may not be possible to completely analyze all the consciousness information, but with such a consciousness cage on hand, and with his previous experience in analyzing Colite's consciousness, Sha Duo is confident that he can analyze it here.
Before a copy of consciousness is exhausted, most of the information can be parsed.
If that doesn't work, he can still find a way to capture a few more members of the Longevity family. Since the other party is now openly operating in the North, even if the high-level mages cannot be captured, it is not difficult to capture more ordinary mages.
"Hope everything goes well!"
Xia Duo prayed silently in his heart, then turned around and left, embarking on the road to escape.
In the end, he did not kill the Elven envoy who was brought back by him for a surprise attack using the Everriska Mystery Lock. Killing and teasing are completely different concepts.uuReading www.uukanshu.com
With the latter being in hiding, Evereska could easily become a scapegoat; while with the former, the Changshou family and even the entire Northland under its control would be chasing him.
Even now he is facing pursuit, but it is definitely not at the same level as the pursuit that killed the special envoy.
…
After leaving the mountains in the northern part of Everesca, Shado stayed away from the elven world while analyzing the copy of his consciousness. He continued to escape like this for three or four days, and even he himself didn't know where he was.
The analysis work on the copy of consciousness of the elf court envoy has also reached the end. The copy of consciousness was eventually dissipated in re-projections, but Xia Duo gained a lot.
Some of the information was unheard of, and even made him have huge doubts about reality. Based on this information, he felt that he no longer had to arrest other members of the Changshou family.
So--
"It's time to go home! I'm so tired!"
As soon as the thought came out, Xia Duo's consciousness quickly left his body. Without the tolerance of his healthy body, the fatigue he could feel at this moment was like a surge, almost making it difficult for him to control himself.
Returning from the projection plane to the main plane should have been completed in a very short time, but Sha Duo seemed to have spent ten thousand years.
As soon as he returned to the Tower of Time, he couldn't even wait for the tower spirit to teleport him to the bedroom, so he fell directly on the floor of the projection hall and fell into a deep sleep.
As for the time consumed by the two projection planes, it is not worth mentioning at all for Xia Duo, who has gained natural longevity through blood.
Not to mention that there are useless life-extending spells!
