Soon, Messenger Ryan's figure appeared in Zhuguang Square. He came alone and was not accompanied by members of the investigation team or local mages.
After all, if the former accompanied him, wouldn't it confirm the rumors of being controlled, while the latter could not rule out the possibility of the demon infiltrating. If the demon used his status as an escort to say something he shouldn't have said, it might be even more troublesome.
Therefore, Rui En simply came to Zhuguang Square alone without any entourage. As a close minister of the crown prince, he did not lack this courage.
For a political creature, compared to depression and silence, the threat of the demon is nothing!
"Residents of Metril, I am Ryan, the foreign affairs advisor of King Helion. I have heard your calls. Now I am here to answer your questions personally. I hope you will not be used by the betrayers.
.”
With the effect of the spell, Ryan's words instantly overwhelmed the noise of the entire square and became the only sound in this huge square.
But suppression alone is not enough. Ryan seized the opportunity to show tokens that could prove his identity, and at the same time shouted to Mandatomu and other leaders:
"Mandatom, you shameless betrayer, do you dare to stand up and confront me?"
Mandatum is the commander of the city guards of Metril City. From the perspective of the Erlan elves, Mandatum is in the wrong, let alone what trump card Ryan holds.
In this case, it is definitely impossible for him to stand up and confront him, because once he confronts him, the people will think, and thinking will undoubtedly dilute the people's fanaticism.
Since ancient times, the vast majority of cults and conspirators have not debated with their opponents, but have repeatedly brainwashed them with one or two simple slogans.
Because the truth becomes clearer with more debate, in the end their followers will easily see their true nature and make choices contrary to their wishes.
But without standing up and confronting him, Mandatoum can continue to incite the people and dilute the responsibility behind his remarks through the people's voice.
To put it simply, the people can blame anything they say.
For example, "It's not just me who said it, others also said it. Why did you come to me instead of others?", "I just doubted it. Isn't it okay to doubt it?"
Although Ye Erlan does not say that the law does not punish the public, in practice, under special circumstances, it is actually difficult to punish the "public".
For example, this time, the people gathered here only because of the instigation of the demons, but the people's intention was really good, to protect Metril and Yeerlan, and so far there has been no drastic action.
Does this also require punishment?
After such punishment, aren't you afraid that people's hearts will be divided?
The most important thing is that there is no such law as illegal assembly in Erlan, and there is no basis for punishment. It is likely that nothing will be done after the incident, and a few words of praise may even be needed to avoid chilling the public sentiment.
…
Within just a few seconds after Ryan asked Mandatome to stand up and confront him, doubts arose from every corner of the square, and there were even echoes between the various voices——
"We are very familiar with Commander Mandattom, how could he be a traitor! The envoy must have been deceived by those intruders!"
"Yes, Commander Mandatomu has always been kind. Under his leadership, the city guards have never had conflicts with the people. There is nothing to question about this."
"This messenger doesn't look like a good elf at first glance. He said he was a messenger, and I even said I was a messenger!"
"Tokens can also be forged. A strange face suddenly stands up and says that Commander Mandattom, whom we see every day, is a traitor. Who would believe this!"
Words like these were heard from all over the square, and they did not seem to be colluding with each other at all, which once again ignited the anger of the people.
Seeing this situation, Ryan was inevitably a little nervous, but he had come this far, and even if there was an abyss ahead, he would step into it without hesitation.
"Everyone, please listen to me——"
…
Xia Duo was somewhat concerned about the situation on Ryan's side, not to mention that he asked Philifa for more tokens and information. After Badigal conveyed it, he immediately passed it on to Ryan simultaneously.
Therefore, Ryan could eloquently detail the various relationships among the upper echelons of Metril City in Pearl Plaza, as well as the so-called truth behind the major and minor events that occurred in Metril City in the past.
These are what ordinary people love to hear, and in the process of telling these stories, Ryan repeatedly showed various evidence that could reveal his identity.
At the same time, he also made a small request to the people, that is, to protect themselves and pay attention to possible attackers around them, because the traitors do not want to see the people stand together with the envoys of the crown prince.
…
"This guy has some tricks up his sleeve!"
Xia Duo silently praised him and returned to the collaborative calculation. The reason why Ryan has nothing to do until now may be that the demon is also trying to delay time, but also the most important thing——
Xia Duo asked the four high mages who were on standby in the Silver Spire to help take care of it. Anyway, the current collaborative calculation of Lingsi Network mainly uses the subconscious shared by each accessor.
It means that the conscious mind is still idle and can do other things without putting too much burden on the conscious mind.
…
In the torture of countless insiders, Shado quickly completed the analysis of Metril's original secret key, and also made a preliminary judgment on Paris's ongoing ritual spell.
The purpose of this ritual is similar to what Sha Duo had guessed before. It is mainly used for positioning and reversing the timeline. Of course, this is a definite judgment made by Sha Duo after careful analysis, but it is also partly speculative.
However, Xia Duo believed that the true function of the ceremony should be closely related to his judgment.
In addition, the ritual itself does not require the use of external mythos. Paris uses the mythos as an important spell-casting medium to increase the scope of influence of ritual spells.
Chateau speculated that the final scope of influence of this spell may be far beyond the area of Metril, but will involve a wider area. How wide it is, he cannot say for the time being. After all, this is a spell that he has never experimented before.
The devil may know, but it is impossible for the devil to tell him. He can only guess as high as possible, so as to remind himself not to take chances and to go all out.
…
The next step is to designate a plan to prevent the ritual. If it is any other spell, it is very simple. Just destroy the spell casting and make the spell unable to continue.
As for the impact of spell casting failure, no matter how bad it is, it will not be greater than the impact of successful spell casting. This price is completely worth it.
But now this ritual spell involves the timeline. No one knows what the impact of random destruction will be, and no one can guarantee that the impact of doing so will be smaller than the success of the spell.
Therefore, if you want to stop Paris's ritual, you must seize control of the ritual from Paris, and end the ritual perfectly without Paris competing for or even destroying it simultaneously.
The difficulty is quite high, but Xia Duo is confident that he can complete it, and he will definitely be able to complete it!
