At present, among the elves that Shado knows, there are probably only four or five who may know the prophets - Tyron Mage of Ilfaran, Hildalanna of Erlan, Crown King of Akora, and Ra of Everriska.
Elder Ryan.
There is also Filipa of Yeerlan, Shado has also dealt with him. As the advisor of King Mian, Filipa should also know about the existence of prophets, and even know some prophets.
In Cormanthor, Shado did know a lot of elves there, but those elves had limited status. Even if he could hear some vague rumors, it would be difficult to give an accurate answer based on the information provided by Shado.
As for Salvin, Sha Duo has not been to Salvin in the main plane. In fact, after the rise of Erlan, Salvin has become more conservative and closed, and there are almost no Salvin elves outside.
Even if there is, they may not reveal their identity. The Salvin elves that Xia Duo knows have only met once in public, and have not even spoken to them.
Among all the elves who may know the prophet, Tyron will not consider it for the time being. The reason is the same as Philifar. He does not have many personal relationships. Shado has limited understanding of them. The so-called friendship is shallow and deep, how could he reveal such an important thing so easily.
If they have an affair with the demon, or don't pay attention to it at all, or even say it casually, then wouldn't it be in vain?
In terms of closeness, whether it is the relationship between the elves or the relationship between the upper elf and the prophet, it is closer than the relationship between the elf and the human being Xia Duo.
So after some review, Shado felt that only Hildalanna and Elder Larian were more trustworthy.
Originally, Akora Crown Prince should also be considered by him, but Akora Crown Prince's lifespan is coming to an end, and it is still unknown whether he will collude with the demons to seek opportunities to extend his life!
Shado had previously crowned Akora as the king and extended his life. The price the other party paid was to sign an agreement with Netheril called an alliance, which was actually more like a vassal. Even if he could do such a thing, what else could he do to extend his life?
Coming out?
The most important thing is that the other party has a special status. Even if it is actually a vassal, it is still a superior being placed in the same position as the Severnton Parliament in name. And Xia Duo is only a member, so there is no way for the other party to be inspected. It is even difficult to tell.
If in doubt.
Simply ignore the other party. If Hildalanna and Elder Larian fail to obtain the identity of the prophet, it will not be too late to consider the crowned king of Akora.
As for why Hildalanna and Larian are trustworthy, it's actually very simple. Shado and Hildalanna fought side by side, and Hildalanna's first love died at the hands of a demon.
This is a hatred that is very difficult to resolve. In addition, Hildalanna is young enough and does not need to consider extending her life, nor is she easily tempted by demons.
In addition to life extension, strength, status, wealth, etc., as a high mage, Hildalanna has enough. Even the demon cannot afford more.
As for Elder Larian, Shado had some interactions with the other party. It was just one aspect. What was more important was that the other party had undergone the most rigorous inspection and was confirmed to be not a demon descendant, and the other party's family had nothing to do with the demon descendant.
In other words, almost all of Evereska's high-ranking families voluntarily or voluntarily accepted inspections by the Northland Alliance. Of course, nothing was found, otherwise Everesca would be in turmoil.
In the end, Shado decided to ask Elder Larian first. On the one hand, his incarnation was in Everriska at the moment, and the principle of proximity was the principle. On the other hand, Netheril and Everriska had many common interests, and he and Larian
Ryan also has a personal relationship and can also counterattack.
This will ensure that the news doesn't leak out of Larian.
If it was Hildalana, it was indeed unlikely that she would have an affair with the demon, but Sha Duo was worried that he had just told the other party, and the other party would tell others later.
Once a piece of news is known to more than two people, it is not far from becoming public news.
In addition, there is the issue of trust. Sha Duo thinks that he has a good positive reputation in the North, but this does not mean that Hildalanna will definitely believe what he said that the prophet is actually a devil.
But if we don't say that the prophet is a traitor, what reason is there for the other party to reveal the information about the prophet who has an extraordinary status in the elf world? Let alone the other party not to disclose to the public that he has inquired about the identity of the prophet.
Therefore, Hildalanna still needs to be ranked second to Larian in priority.
After making the decision, Xia Duo immediately took action. In fact, he just went to see Larian just yesterday morning, but he didn't expect that only the next day, he would come to visit again.
…
Everika, halfway up Yunding Mountain.
Xia Duo's visit again not long ago did not cause any panic in the time-tested Golden Maple Manor. However, his arrival this time was a little unlucky and Larian was not at home.
But he only sat in the reception room for a moment before Larian rushed back from outside, with a tired look on his face, as if he had consumed too much energy in the past few days and could not recover.
"Lord Xia Duo, you are really neglectful. There have been too many outsiders coming to the city recently, and I need to coordinate many things. I really don't know when this incident will completely calm down!"
"Yes, I believe it will be properly handled in the near future. By then, Everesca, which is close to the Gray Peak Mountains, will probably become the most prosperous city in the North!"
Hearing what Shado said, Larian's heart suddenly moved, "Has Lord Shado already known some key information that has not yet been made public? What does Netheril think of this mithril mine incident?"
"I can't talk about the key, but I do know some news that may not have reached the ears of the elders. Netheril's attitude towards this mithril mine incident is - joint development, fair distribution, unity within, and vigilance against demons.
!”
"ah--"
Larian didn't react for a while, but when he did, he was immediately overjoyed, but it was hard to believe such good news. After calming down, he asked hesitantly:
"Does Netheril really intend to jointly develop that mithril mine with other countries and distribute it equitably?"
"Of course it is true. Haven't Elders Larian noticed the changes in Netheril since the signing of the new covenant? Domineering expansion is not the path we have chosen, and we are opposed to any country taking such a path."
Of course, Shado himself has no intention of seeking hegemony, but other people in Netheril may not accept such a concept. However, Netheril is still unable to seek hegemony, so taking the kingly route for the time being is a reliable choice.
However, Shado's influence in Netheril is becoming more and more important, and he believes that one day he will be able to lead this country, and then the entire Northland Alliance. ()
