After being temporarily separated from Brundes, Shado immediately contacted Hildalana, intending to ask her about the latest inside story of the Lingfeng family.
But unfortunately, Hildalanna did not reply, and Sha Duo could only return to the public square angrily. While waiting for representatives from all parties to arrive, he was thinking about the possible consequences of the emergence of the demon family in Ellan.
First of all, one thing is clear, that is, demons do exist, and there is a high probability that they have penetrated into all the countries in the North, but the degree varies from country to country, and this may even include Netheril.
The second is the purpose of the demon descendants. At a small level, it is just to live openly in the North with their true identity. At a large level, it may be to change history and cover the development of another possible timeline into the current time and space.
In the end, it is the means to achieve the goal. If it is just a small goal, then it probably only needs an opportunity to change the stereotypes of mainstream society.
Maybe it’s a certain sacrifice, a certain kind of dedication, or maybe it’s a certain change of thought in mainstream society.
And if it is a big goal, it will be complicated. According to some situations that Sha Duo learned about changing history in the projection plane, the demons in the main plane need to shape a series of specific historical nodes and complete the preparatory work to cover the timeline.
.
Judging from the current situation on the main plane, the demon may really want to make a big plan!
Although the possibility of small goals is not ruled out. After all, it is normal to suppress it for so long and cause some damage. But you have tolerated it for so many years, why do you want to jump out now?
Therefore, Xia Duo is more inclined to believe that we are at a critical historical node now and if the demons are still lurking as they were in the past, it will be difficult to change history.
After all, it is basically impossible for demons to unify the main plane in the current timeline and create a brilliant civilization in the future. A larger intervention is necessary.
And such interference makes it difficult for them to continue to hide their identities.
From the recent assassination of Elder Evereska to the recent exposure of the Yeerlan Lingfeng family, they are all major events that have changed history.
"This star really wants to retire"
The only thing that needs to be considered now is whether the current history was intentionally caused by the demons, or whether it was the result of their intervention but failure.
If it's the former, it needs to be changed in time. If it's the latter, maintaining the status quo is the biggest obstacle to the demon's plan.
However, if you make random guesses when there are insufficient clues, everything you look at will be suspicious, and it is easy to be misled by the actions of the demons. Bring your own dry food to become their helper.
Therefore, Xia Duo now needs to clarify two principles. One is not to blindly believe in the so-called "changing history and covering the timeline". After all, those clues are obtained from the projection plane.
If it is placed on the main plane, it may still have a certain degree of credibility, but everything must still be based on the actual situation of the main plane itself and seek truth from facts.
The second point is also based on the understanding of the first point, we must understand the priorities!
Everything is still based on one's own plan. As long as one's own plan and one's goals are successfully achieved, the threat of demons will largely cease to exist.
Based on the above summary, Xia Duo has a clearer idea of what to do next. In summary, there is only one sentence——
Stability is everything!
Regardless of whether it is a demon or any other conspirator, whoever dares to step out and undermine the overall stability of the North is Xia Duo's enemy and the next target of [Light of Annihilation].
As for the subsequent multi-party talks, Xia Duo does not have many demands. Even the independence of the southern region of Sluvende is no longer his focus. As long as everything is put on the negotiating table, the dust will be settled as soon as possible.
Can.
Not only the aftermath of this war, but also some conflicts within the Northland Alliance can also be resolved during this meeting.
As long as there is no chaos within the Northland Alliance, even if this is what the demons need, Xia Duo is willing to do so, because it is also in his interests. As for who will have the upper hand in the future, we will have to wait and see.
However, judging from some of the current known situations, the demon descendant may not be the master of peace.
Regarding the next challenge, Shado believes that for quite some time in the future, the combination of "[Light of Annihilation] + [Mythra]" will be invincible and unrivaled. (For the time being, only local wars are possible, and full-scale wars are not yet possible.
)
…
Soon, Shado and others came to Brundes, who brought news about Master Tyron, saying that he had arrived at Adolfel Fortress and was waiting for other representatives to come with him.
"Lord Xia Duo, are you really going to let representatives from various countries come here for talks later?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"this--"
Brundes hesitated for a moment and reminded: "The elven countries are coming this time, and there are many spellcasters. It is best for such a highly mobile strategic fortress to retain some mystery."
It's almost possible that spies will sneak in, but Xia Duo has already considered this. Just from the perspective of confidentiality, wouldn't the secrets be leaked if representatives from various countries are not allowed in?
As long as the core secrets are not leaked and a little bit of the truth is revealed appropriately, it will also help reduce the chance of misjudgment by various countries. Generally speaking, if you pretend to be a pig for a long time, others may really treat you like a pig.
For Shado, the core secret of the floating city lies in the technical details of [Mythra] and the adaptive mystery lock.
Both of these are essentially the in-depth development of arcane fire. They are one of the secrets that Sha Duo cares about most, and they are also the places where he has the most stringent protection in the floating city.
In other words, if a few random elf mages can break through the prevention mechanism he has set up, is it still necessary for this floating city to exist?
Just that its existence is exposed, this is not a big problem.
Xia Duo felt that Brundes' reminder may not mean to test him. Regarding the sudden appearance of the floating city, the Seven Towers were probably confused, so it was completely reasonable to test him in a roundabout way.
"Director Brundes, relax, I know what's going on."
"Since Lord Xia Duo has already made preparations, then just think that I am overly worried."
Brundes seemed really relieved, but then he pointed to the bare square around him and said to Shado:
"We will receive envoys from various countries here next. If Lord Xia Duo doesn't mind, the people I brought can help with the simple decoration."
"Okay, if you don't understand anything, you can ask my student Jie Yin."
With that said, Xia Duo summoned Jie Yin, who was still doing the test papers, and introduced him to Brundes. This is actually an "official spoiler". Since you are so curious, I will tell you directly.
Of course, it is true that the environment on the public floor of the floating city is poor. I have been living in the blue crystal plane before, and it is basically a "rough house". It is not bad to have Brundes to help.
But after this time, Xia Duo can freely recruit people to build the floating city.
