Almost instantly, Shado judged that the interior of the Silver Spire was indeed not restricted by the Mystery Lock. In other words, if Shado was willing, he could leave Metril now!
Or quit and bring Doom and others over and leave together.
This is a good thing, at least there is a way out, but as the old saying in Xia Duo's hometown says, "Blessings come with misfortunes"——
Just at the moment when he checked the status of the magic network inside the Silver Spire, he noticed through the Lingsi Network that the four high mages around him had different thoughts.
These guys wanted to run away immediately, but they were worried about whether he would cause trouble, so they didn't start immediately!
Such a discovery made Xia Duo's face darken. Although he had already filtered the elves a long time ago, the current situation still made him sigh that it was too real.
"Everyone, be careful. The magic network inside the Silver Spire is normal. This incident itself is abnormal. Maybe there is some unknown trap hidden in it. Find Paris first. If the action really doesn't go well, then consider this retreat!"
Of course, this is just a way to temporarily appease these elves. Otherwise, Xia Duo is worried that these elves will disappear in the next moment!
"Lord Xia Duo is right, we should be more cautious."
After all, Realization has already agreed to take action and now suddenly gives up. Although it is impossible for Xia Duo and even Ye Erlan to do anything to these high-ranking mages, it is still somewhat related to reputation, and not only their own reputation, but also the reputation of the country.
Therefore, after Sha Duo's persuasion, these four elves did not leave immediately, but continued to act with Sha Duo.
…
Since he already had control of most of the core authority of the Silver Spire, Xia Duo did not immediately go deep into the entrance. Instead, he first hid his whereabouts and then explored the interior of the Silver Spire.
For the four high mages who accompanied them, this was their job. However, they were previously invited to join the investigation team to investigate the disappearance of Team Jianfeng, but now they were invited to investigate the Silver Spire.
In just a moment, Sha Duo received the detection feedback from Tucson, Tredi and the others from the Lingsi network. After sorting it out, he quickly obtained the environment and structural diagram inside the Silver Spire.
The Silver Spire has a total of nineteen floors, but the top four floors are tourist floors open to the public, and only the fifteen floors below are considered normal mage towers.
Since the internal application space of Silver Spire is less expanded, in terms of city level, almost the fifth floor of Silver Spire corresponds to the first floor of the city.
At this time, Xia Duo looked around inside the Silver Spire. Not to mention the top four floors, there were only a few tourists stranded there, so they were not the focus of his attention.
On the fifteenth floor below, most of the rooms were exposed. Among them, the first thing Sha Duo paid attention to were the four rooms where the city councilors were imprisoned. Dax had already shown him the image of the city councilors before coming here.
It is not difficult to tell at this moment. If the purpose of his trip was only to rescue the congressmen, then it would have been more than half completed by now.
But he is not!
According to Dax, there were twenty-one city councilors deceived, but now there are more than forty elves imprisoned in those four rooms.
Presumably there are some non-member elves being imprisoned there, but there are no Yeerlan elves in Shado, so for the time being, there is no need to worry about the situation of the elves who are suspected of being local bigwigs.
Just note that the three high mage councilors Dax mentioned who were also deceived are not in those four rooms. They may be locked up in other rooms, or they may have been killed, or those three are simply Paris's accomplices.
.
Now, Shado had only one target, Paris. However, he searched the entire Silver Spire, but never found Paris.
"Paris should be in those rooms equipped with magic to avoid detection."
"Is it possible that Paris has left the Silver Spire?"
"That's impossible to say."
In the Lingsi network, four elf mages communicated with each other. Without the constraints of words and bodies, the speed of this communication was extremely fast. In just a few breaths, Xia Duo synthesized the communication information and came to a conclusion——
"If Paris is still in the Silver Spire, then the place where he is most likely to exist is the secret room on the tenth floor. Sacrificing a city is not a simple ritual that can be achieved. The secret room on the tenth floor
The chamber is the largest and highest-standard room in the Silver Spire. Without going there, it would be difficult for Paris to find a more suitable ceremony location."
It was so easy to get the most likely location of Paris. The whole process was so easy that Sha Duo himself could not believe it. The biggest doubt in this was——
Paris seems to have completely ignored the reaction from the outside world.
There are basically only two possibilities for Paris to dare to do this. Either he is very confident in his environment and does not care about the interference from the outside world at all, or the ritual may not be able to stop it at all.
No matter which possibility it is, it is not a good thing for Xia Duo.
Such thoughts were fed back to the Lingsi Network, which also caused Teddy, Kuito and others to think deeply, but they had already reached this point, and they were somewhat unwilling not to take a look.
"Lord Shado, what should we do next?"
"Try to seize the remaining authority of the Silver Spire first! If Paris is in that secret room, he will probably react. Let's see his reaction first and then decide on the next step."
A direct raid is not a good option. On the one hand, Xia Duo does not have complete authority. If he rushes into the opponent's territory, he will first lose in terms of geographical location. If the opponent is communicating with each other, the situation may be even more difficult.
Now, if the other party did not receive a warning from the soldiers outside, Paris would most likely not know that Chateau had led people to invade the interior of the Silver Spire.
When he came in just now, the entrance to the Silver Spire on the second floor of the city had been sealed, and due to the influence of the Mystery Lock, communications outside were blocked. Paris may indeed have retained some special communication channels, but they may not be available to ordinary soldiers outside.
Of course, if Paris has received the news about their invasion and has not responded yet, then he is either arrogant or unable to escape.
No matter what the situation is, it is beneficial to Xia Duo. In this case, it is even more necessary to "advance" to further seize the authority of the Silver Spire owned by the other party.
As for using spells to directly attack the secret chamber where Paris is suspected to exist, it is not impossible, but unless war spells are used, it will probably take a long time to break through the secret chamber with that level of protection!
Everything must be done with efficiency, and seizing authority is obviously the most efficient way at the moment.
Of course, there is also a little bit of Xia Duo's selfishness in this. On the one hand, he wants to hide the portable war spell platform [robe of longing], and on the other hand, he wants to capture Paris alive as much as possible and find out his true identity.
