After discovering this situation, Xia Duo immediately synchronized it with other investigators, and other investigators also made new discoveries——
"A battle broke out inside the Silver Spire, causing serious damage to the tower. It is suspected that a spell caster escaped."
"The city guards almost rebelled collectively and are expelling people from various urban areas and conducting searches."
"The sealing barrier is completely formed and is no longer visible to the outside world."
…
After synthesizing a lot of information, Shado made suggestions to other investigators through Doom, "Parris has not fully controlled the situation in the city yet. It is time for us to reveal our identities, especially the Ryan messenger. We need to use your name and token."
.”
"No problem, what do you want Director Doom to do?"
It would be great for Ryan to have someone take the initiative to take responsibility. After all, he has completely lost control of the current situation. Once he loses his identity as an envoy, he will be just an ordinary attendant of the Crown Prince.
In Metril, if he does not rely on the Northern Alliance investigation team, his status as an envoy is worthless.
Doom confirmed the information with Shado again before answering Doum's question: "I will project the image and token of Ryan's messenger over the city to guide the casters who are suspected of escaping from the Silver Spire to come and meet.
"As for the others, continue to explore the situation in the city, and at the same time remain vigilant to respond to surprise attacks from the city guards and even Paris at any time."
Ryan had no objection to this, but a high mage who came from Cormanthor frowned, "Guide the casters who escaped from the Silver Spire to join together? Is this too risky?"
"Is our current location really a secret to Paris? To be honest, I would rather Paris come here. We have so many top spellcasters here. Although they are not specialized in combat, not just one Paris can do it.
Resist." Doom retorted without hesitation.
Paris, who had shown his saint form in front of the Silver Spire before, is undoubtedly a high mage, but they have more than one high mage here, and the other elves are at least senior mage.
That is to say, I never thought of taking down Paris directly before, otherwise Paris would not be so arrogant.
What Doom and Shado are most worried about now is that Paris is hiding behind the scenes, manipulating the mythos to fight against them, and they don't know how many accomplices the opponent has. This is the most difficult thing to do.
After arranging the next action, Shado quietly sent a private message to Doom, "I have informed Badigal of the situation here through a special communication method. I guess he has contacted Yeerlan and support will be here soon.
And even if there is no support, I will still be able to take you away with full confidence."
"Then why doesn't Lord Shado leave now?" Doom was very puzzled by this.
Shado didn't hide anything, and told Doom directly, "I want to know if there is any connection between Paris and the devil, and what he wants to do by blocking Metril!"
To say that Paris was dissatisfied with King Helion and the Council of Elders in the High Trees, and wanted to form a clique to achieve independence or overthrow the current regime, Chateau did not believe it 100%.
He seriously suspected that what the other party wanted to do was the predicted mist incident. It was almost at this time point, and there was no way he could not avoid the association.
The fog event will almost certainly lead to the subsequent sudden climate change. If it can be avoided, Xia Duo still hopes to avoid it as much as possible.
Although there is no fog incident and it may lead to a full-scale war, after all, he does not see any possibility of a full-scale war breaking out now, so he must first find a way to avoid the more likely bad things.
This is a bit like the tram difficulty on Earth, but slightly different.
If the possibility of a fog event right now is 60%, and the fog event is almost 100% likely to cause a sudden climate change, in comparison, the possibility of a full-scale war now, in Xia Duo's opinion, is less than 1%!
It was impossible to make a judgment on what to choose. Xia Duo chose to eliminate the fog incident and the subsequent sudden climate change as much as possible. If doing so led to a full-scale war, then he would admit it.
A long time ago, he began to prepare to deal with the crisis of annihilation in the main plane. If a full-scale war really broke out, he would first retreat to the blue crystal plane with all his subjects.
Then the main plane should fight and kill. The worst case scenario is to smash the entire world. In that case, is there any good outcome for the party that actively provokes the war?
Xia Duo cannot guarantee that for others, he will definitely do everything possible to eliminate whoever dares to provoke a full-scale war.
That is to say, he has not found a large livable plane where he can safely immigrate, otherwise he would not want to stay in this main plane that is full of troubles.
…
Soon, the image of Ryan's messenger appeared in the sky over Metril City, and his real-time introduction to his identity. With the help of magic, the passionate voice spread throughout the city——
"Erland citizens of Metril City, Paris has betrayed this country and betrayed your trust. Now, in the name of King Helion and the envoy of the Council of Elders in Gaoshu, I declare that Metril City has entered an emergency.
state!"
Erlan's urban state of emergency allows urban residents to enter nearby places with higher protective measures such as libraries, and grants residents the right to organize rescue, protection and even counterattack on their own.
In other words, once the city enters a state of emergency and betrays the country, Paris in this city will face a scene where all the people are soldiers. Even if he is a high mage, he cannot completely ignore the resisters of an entire city.
Almost a few minutes after Ryan declared the state of emergency, a tired-looking and disheveled elf mage came to the city garden where Shado and other investigators were.
"I want to see Messenger Ryan!"
"Are you Dax, the chief mage of Metril City?"
The Elfran Elf investigator in charge of the alert asked with some uncertainty. Although he knew the image of some of the top officials of Metril City from Ryan, this one was really embarrassing at the moment and he could not confirm it.
"Yes, I am Dax. I want to see Messenger Ryan. I have important information to tell Messenger Ryan!" Dax shouted loudly from the perimeter.
The movement was not big, but it was enough to alarm Ryan who was restless in the garden waiting for news. Now he no longer had to pace back and forth in the garden and immediately walked outside.
Sha Duo saw this and followed him. He also wanted to see what important information Dax had arrived.
…
Arriving at the outskirts of the city garden, Xia Duo found that Dax was not the only one there, but also a strange moon elf. However, the moon elf and Dax were on guard against each other.
Ryan came over and looked at Dax immediately, and asked without any pause: "Master Dax, what important information did you bring?"
"Paris is crazy. He has blocked the Silver Spire and wants to kill me. Of course, these are not important. What he really wants to do is to sacrifice this city to satisfy his crazy ideas."
"Sacrifice the city?" Ryan continued to ask.
At this point, Dax didn't know much. At this moment, the moon elf who came here after Dax spoke:
"Messenger Ryan, I am Councilor Gaudit of Metril City Council, and I also have important information to report."
"explain!"
"Not long ago, Paris summoned most of the members of the city council and imprisoned them in the Silver Spire. I took advantage of the chaos of the battle between Dax and Paris to escape."
