Chapter 2677 Revealing the truth and taking decisive action
Therefore, Shado decided to split up and leave the library to Doom to convince other members of the investigation team and the most important Ryan messenger, and then Ryan would come forward to contact other mages in the city.
And he himself went to find Dax who was placed in a safe place. The power of a high mage should not be shelved. In addition, he could learn more local intelligence from Dax.
After meeting, Xia Duo did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "In the current situation, you and I are both in a cage. We must unite to break the cage and regain freedom. What do you think?"
Dax did not agree or refuse immediately, but asked another question: "Have you met Paris?"
"Yes, I have seen him. Maybe he already knows that I have seen him."
After receiving a positive answer, Dax suddenly looked anxious and asked quickly: "Has the sacrificial ceremony begun? Why didn't you stop him?"
Hearing this question, Sha Duo was in a daze. Dax's reaction didn't seem like he was completely ignorant. It's not like Paris had given him a special education, right?
Considering that Doom would still need some time, Shado asked back: "How can you be so sure that it is a sacrifice ceremony? Did Paris tell you? Couldn't he have lied to you?"
"Answer me quickly, has the sacrificial ceremony begun?" Dax's mood began to change from anxious and agitated to a little lost.
But Chateau still did not answer, but continued to ask: "What are you hiding? Are you and Paris the same person?"
Once his thoughts turned in this direction, Shado immediately realized some details that he had not paid attention to before, such as Dax's claim that he was tricked by Paris into going to the Silver Spire and then escaping again.
You know, there are three other high mage councilors who were also deceived, but among those three, one of them is currently performing a ceremony with Paris in the secret room, and the remaining two are missing, and may have been stolen.
Disposed of.
Under such circumstances, it is somewhat unreasonable that only one Dax could escape, and he escaped in an almost intact condition.
Before, Xia Duo had never personally entered the Silver Spire, nor did he understand the Silver Spire's protective system, but now that he had just come out of the Silver Spire, he had even completed the reconstruction of the Silver Spire's protective system.
It can be said that there are few people in the entire city of Metril who know Silver Spire better than him!
According to his judgment, if Dax wanted to escape from the Silver Spire with a complete protection system, it would be almost impossible to succeed if Paris was prepared.
What kind of situation could Paris be unprepared for?
Then there is only one explanation - Dax and Paris are in the same group, but they suddenly had a falling out for some unknown reason, and then Dax ran out.
This would also explain why Dax is so sure that Paris is performing a sacrificial ritual.
Shado himself was at the Silver Spire just now and observed the ongoing ceremony for a while. He could only confirm that once the ceremony was completed, there would be a lot of movement, but he was not sure whether it was a sacrificial ceremony.
Why is Dax so sure?
So Xia Duo asked again, his tone even close to questioning, "What are you hiding? How do you know that the ceremony must be a sacrifice ceremony?"
"That ceremony? Did you see it? It's over, it's over!"
After saying this, Dax seemed to be completely discouraged and collapsed to the ground. Even Xia Duo kicked him a few times without any reaction. He just muttered and repeated the phrase "It's all over."
.
This kind of performance can no longer be described as weird. It is a scene where the villain is completely ruined. Seeing this, Xia Duo couldn't help but frowned deeply. What kind of sacrificial ceremony was it that made a senior mage act like this?
despair?
When he was puzzled, a word that he had repeated countless times in the past suddenly broke into his mind - the fog incident!
The only thing he could think of was the Mist Incident. It was mentioned in many previous predictions that even the Northland Alliance was completely helpless in dealing with the Mist Incident. Once the investigators entered, they would completely lose contact.
In this case, it is probably necessary for a senior mage to personally investigate, but in the end it was still to no avail, which shows how strange and difficult this fog incident is.
Thinking of this, Sha Duo was not ready to talk nonsense with Dax, and directly knocked him out with a psychic shock, then took out a piece of equipment from his portable space and started making a copy of his consciousness.
If there was no suspicion of Dax colluding with Paris or the suspicion was not serious, then Shado would definitely not be so simple and crude. After all, making a high mage lose consciousness should be considered a relatively serious diplomatic incident.
But now, Dax's suspicion is so obvious, so he doesn't need to pay attention to anything. He can first get a copy of his consciousness. When he gets the results of the trial, Erlan will have nothing to say.
…
This is not the first time for Sha Duo to interrogate a senior mage. He has rich experience in both the projection plane and the main plane.
After calmly separating out several consciousness copies, he first put away a few and kept them for later digging. Now he just wanted to quickly find information related to Paris and the sacrificial ceremony in the other party's consciousness.
Considering that direct search for consciousness would cause consciousness information pollution, Xia Duo planned to ask in the illusion first. If the other party did not cooperate, it would not be too late to directly search for consciousness.
The scene was still a safe place arranged by Doom, but it was indeed an illusion. Dax woke up leisurely and didn't care at all whether he had been attacked just now. He still looked lost and murmured:
"It's all over, everything is over!"
There was a difference between the time in the illusion and the real time in the outside world. Xia Duo was not worried about wasting time, so he poured out all his doubts and gave the opponent a small impact first. If it didn't work once, he could still reset it anyway.
"Dax, is the sacrificial ceremony you mentioned related to the fog incident that suddenly appeared in Yeerlan some time ago? Is the Northland Alliance reconnaissance team that disappeared in the northwest mountains of Yeerlan also related to this?"
Perhaps because the keyword was triggered, Dax's eyes narrowed slightly, but he still did not speak, so Sha Duo continued: "A few months ago, I predicted that an extremely strange fog event would occur in the North.
Anyone who enters it will lose contact completely. Are we in a fog event now?"
Since it was a consciousness copy interrogation, Shado did not need to completely observe Dax's expression. The other party's state of consciousness at the moment was completely under his control. His expression could be deceiving, but his consciousness activities could not be hidden.
Although it cannot be completely concluded that what is happening in Metril City now is a predicted fog event, it is certain that Dax is not completely ignorant of the concept of fog event, but is very likely to know it.
