Chapter 2650 Xia Duo’s suspicion and attempt to intervene
If Elder Larian may have concealed something from Shado due to pressure from Ye Erlan, then what reason did the Seven Towers have to hide it for Ye Erlan?
If we really talk about the relationship, the relationship between Xia Duo and Qita is much closer than that between Yerlan and Qita.
After all, after the signing of the new covenant, although there were many differences between Xia Duo and Qita, it has to be said that these differences are far less important than the actual common interests!
Then it can only be that the Yeerlan side has tampered with the Northland Alliance's investigation. The basis for this guess is very simple, because the place where the incident occurred is within the territory of Yeerland.
Although various countries have formed the Northland Alliance, and have also established a demon intelligence research laboratory with more in-depth exchanges and cooperation to deal with the demonic threat within the framework of the Northern Alliance, if a certain incident involves a certain member country, it is still
The cooperation of the country concerned is required.
Similar to the United Nations on Earth, countries actively participate in the actions and plans of the United Nations, but when these plans and actions involve member states——
If the country concerned does not cooperate, the small country may simply disappear, but if the big country is unwilling, the United Nations may disappear.
Although this is a joke, it also illustrates the essence of this joint system, which is that the main participants have extremely powerful say.
It is simply impossible for the Northland Alliance to bypass Yeerlan and conduct investigation activities to the west of Yeerlan. In other words, if the Northland Alliance does not notify Yeerlan in advance, the investigation activities will not be authorized at all.
Even if authorized, there is a high probability that there will be Yelan elves among the actual investigators.
So what exactly happened in the mountains west of Yeerland?
…
In mid-December, the Netheril water vapor migration plan headed by the Calimshan Mairead family successfully came to an end, and there was only a little finishing work left to consider it successfully completed.
Xia Duo's floating city has begun to return from the south, and at this time he also devotes more energy to paying attention to the fog incident, because now this time point is very close to the prophecy of the moiré announcement!
In other words, if a fog event really occurs in the reality of the main plane, it may have already happened!
And this also reminded him again of the attack on the reconnaissance team that occurred not long ago. Although the Northland Alliance officially classified the incident as an attack, there were no dead people, no dead bodies, only some so-called traces of the battle before death.
It's hard to be truly convinced.
Xia Duo speculated that the investigation team had encountered the fog incident. Ye Erlan also discovered the fog during the subsequent investigation, but they regarded the fog as some kind of precious relic and deliberately hid it from the Northern Alliance.
This is not impossible. If an unknown fog appears in Xia Duo's territory, and he has not made any relevant prophecies in advance, his first reaction will be to block the news and monopolize all the benefits.
This should be considered a routine operation in various countries in the North!
Although the Northland Alliance has been established, the countries have not signed a more systematic and complete "Relics Development Convention", but are developing based on past practices.
It doesn't belong to whoever finds it, nor does it belong to whomever it is on whose territory it is.
Of course, there is a certain advantage to whoever discovers it first and whose territory it is on, but anyone else with knowledge can detail the origins and then ask for a share of the proceeds from the ruins.
Especially in the elven countries, everyone may have been a family thousands of years ago, so it is reasonable to ask for a share of the family property. Even if there is no connection between them, then it is a matter of hatred and asking for a share of compensation.
A recent example is Erlan's request to share the Arivandar Fortress discovered by Sluvender as a descendant of the persecuted.
After that, the fortress was indeed shared by various countries. On the one hand, it was indeed Sruvender's arm that could not twist his thigh. On the other hand, it was also due to the conventions of various countries in developing ruins.
The only exception to this is Netheril, which has nothing to do with it from the perspective of origin or hatred, but as a member of the Northland Alliance, explorers can still be sent into the ruins.
It's just that you can't get the physical object back, but you can indeed share some of the exploration results.
It is conceivable that once Erlan thinks that the mysterious fog is related to an ancient ruins that has huge interests, they may indeed make a decision to conceal it to ensure that their country receives all the benefits.
And if you think more darkly, the investigation team may even have been silenced by Ye Erlan, who knew the news immediately because of the discovery of the mysterious fog.
According to what Sha Duo learned, the investigation team included not only the Ellan elves, but also a Nese mage. If they were really silenced by Ellan, then he would have a reason to intervene.
Thinking of this, Shado once again summoned the Secretary's Office of the Members of the Sevington Council, demanding to know the specific identity of the Nether Master who was involved in the attack on the investigation team.
This request may be a bit difficult for Larian, but for Seven Towers, it is very simple. The relevant information may even have been sorted out long ago, but there is no need to talk to the congressmen about such "little things".
But now if there are congressmen who need it, just take it out directly.
So, almost within five minutes of Xia Duo's summons, information about the Nese Master who was part of the attack investigation team came from the Seven Towers——
Myrcelatheo, as expected, was born in the Seven Towers. He became an arcanist five years ago, and his main focus is on tracing historical traces in spells.
Half a year ago, he was invited to join the Demon Intelligence Room under the Northland Alliance. His main job is to detect various clues collected by frontline investigators from the rear.
The reason why it appeared in that investigation team was because the team reported that it had found clues that were difficult to preserve, and experts needed to go to the scene to detect them in person.
And Myrcelatio's joining was not due to an assignment from above, but because he applied for it himself. Operations like this that require experts to accompany them are not uncommon in the Demon Intelligence Room.
The rewards for missions are higher than those at the rear, so high that even elf mages do not refuse such an approach. In other words, the rewards are set based on standards that make elf mages excited. For humans, it is even harder to refuse.
The relevant procedures for Myrcelatio's joining are also complete and can withstand subsequent investigations.
However, this information did not mention what clues the team originally reported, nor did it say whether any relics were found during the investigation of the team's crash.
Therefore, Xia Duo once again asked the Parliamentarian Secretariat for a detailed incident investigation report issued by the Northland Alliance. This time it was not as efficient as before.
He waited for more than ten minutes, but failed to receive the investigation report. It is conceivable that although the Northland Alliance conducted a post-incident investigation, the relevant report was not submitted to Netheril.
This is not only needed by the countries involved, in fact any member of the Northland Alliance can request a detailed investigation report on this incident from the Northland Alliance official.
This cannot be explained by a simple conclusion summarized in a few sentences!
