After thinking about it, Sha Duo suddenly realized that the Illuminati seems to be guiding destiny while preserving vitality as much as possible!
Destiny dictated that the Secret Palace of Dawn be destroyed. The Illuminati did not want to change this fate, but within the limits allowed by fate, they preserved at least one high-ranking mage, the Guardian of Dawn.
In this way, destiny is constantly revealed and forces are gathered, eventually forming a torrent of destiny that is difficult for outsiders to resist, which is the so-called historical trend.
Perhaps this is the truth why the Illuminati has penetrated so deeply into all countries, because their penetration is both the goal and the result. In a sense, this is the established destiny!
Facing such a being, Xia Duo felt both a numbing nervousness and a sense of excitement to challenge his destiny.
In fact, he also feels that he is a bit similar to the Illuminati. Both have their own ideas that are not accepted by the current mainstream, and they are also doing what they think is right.
The only difference is probably that what Xia Duo is doing will not lead to the destruction of the world (but will cause the old forces to lose power), while the Illuminati is not sure. Changing the timeline or reshaping the world sounds unreliable.
.
It's hard to say what the final result will be.
Therefore, even a tolerant person like Xia Duo is very opposed to the goals of the Illuminati. I am afraid that even a normal thinking intelligent creature would not be able to accept this idea of the Illuminati.
Therefore, when it comes to confronting the Illuminati, there is actually an entire intelligent life on the main plane behind Sha Duo.
Even if it is an established destiny, gathering the wisdom and life force of the entire plane is enough to change the destiny. This is where Xia Duo's greatest confidence lies. If it were just him, he should have been thinking about where to escape first.
Meet.
…
Thinking about the huge influence of the Illuminati in the North - the demons are just the most inconspicuous end, the real influence of the Illuminati lies in the intricate network of relationships they have developed in the elven world as prophets over the years.
Sha Duo has no doubt that once he chooses to be exposed directly, between the Illuminati and him, the elven world will choose the Illuminati without hesitation.
It's not that the elven world can accept the Illuminati's idea of reviving Elam, but the current influence of the Illuminati is too easy to excuse. It's nothing more than the identity being exposed, but the influence will not disappear instantly.
Before their influence fades, it will be enough for them to clean up and come back ashore, and then continue to maintain an influence that may be slightly inferior to the past. The only victim in this process is Xia Duo.
Sha Duo hasn't figured out how to completely defeat the Illuminati, but he can at least start by defeating their conspiracy. The further step is to reveal their identities and put everything on the table.
In this case, even if the Illuminati cannot be completely eliminated in the end, their harm can at least be minimized.
If this happens, it's actually not a bad thing. It is countless times better than the ending of the world being destroyed by the Illuminati. The only thing that can be done is that it is impossible to completely liquidate all the Illuminati members.
But Chateau's own existence is a huge variable.
From the perspective of the theory of destiny, the Illuminati is shaping destiny, and the same is true for Xia Duo, and his destiny is stronger than the Illuminati. As long as he persists, there will always be a chance to settle everything in the future.
…
After obtaining the new information about the Illuminati from Person, Shado did not take immediate action, but continued to wait to see when the mission Isloda mentioned would be, and to see what secrets the mission contained.
The other party mentioned that the mission may be in the near future, which is somewhat inconsistent with the existence of excited state magic weapons in the stasis space warehouse of the Russ Chamber of Commerce——
The excited state magic weapon stored by the Russ Chamber of Commerce may point to the final moment of the decisive battle, and Person may have recently crossed the border to deliver supplies to the so-called Elamite return forces. The correlation between the two is not strong.
Chateau tentatively regarded Person's action as one of the Illuminati's preparations for the final desperate attempt. In this case, not starting immediately would give him time to continue observing, researching and even deciphering.
If you really want the last moment, you may not have much time to react.
…
In addition to the Illuminati, Shado also pays attention to the operation of the public computing pool and the latest progress in exploring new dimensions in Netheril.
Judging from the news received by the Sevington Council, the new exploration base built in the former Aether Forward Base of the Austrian and French Federation has been initially put into use with the joint efforts of all parties.
And within a short period of time, it has caught up with the previous exploration progress at the New Sevington Wizard Tower. However, in addition to the environment, the exploration speed of the Ether Border Route is also closely related to the completeness of the energy infrastructure.
.
To put it simply, the council wants to ask Shado to provide an additional batch of arcane string materials for the construction of Mythra in the exploration base.
Although this is money, Shado doesn't really want to make this money. The reason is very simple. Netheril now knows too little about the ether boundary, so there is no need to speed up the progress so much.
In addition, he didn’t want Plitatis, the golden dragon, to have too much contact with Mythra, so he simply refused on the grounds that the Tower of Time’s production capacity was insufficient.
But he knew that such an excuse would not last long. When the exploration speed at the exploration base reached a bottleneck, other council members would rather not build Mythra themselves, but they would first ensure that the facilities at the exploration base were complete.
After all, the constant flow of new planes is the easiest thing to give people a sense of gain, but the actual situation is - after the number of new planes reaches a certain level, having more new planes does not make much sense.
Unless all the planes in the entire domain are discovered, this should be the true thought of many councilors and Plitatis.
So the day after rejecting Badigal's order for Arcane Strings, Shado summoned the other party and put forward his own suggestion——
"Hundreds of new planes have been discovered so far, and the new planes will become larger and larger in the future. However, we still know too little about the etheric boundary and the new teleportation spells. I suggest that we should focus on it in the future.
Above this.
"Perhaps this can improve the exploration methods and increase the efficiency of exploration! By then, new dimensions will not be discovered however they want!"
In the end, Shado couldn't help but put eye drops on Plitatis, "Didn't you find that Plitatis is obviously more interested in the new dimension than the cross-domain transmission link?"
This is not because Xia Duo is ignorant, but the current exploration base's behavior really makes him feel like this, as if he can't wait to explore all the unknown planes in this area.
The reason for this may be that the cross-domain transmission link project is too huge, and other branch plans will not see benefits in a short period of time. Only plane exploration is the easiest to reap.
But Shado was more willing to believe that this was deliberately guided by Plitatis. He suspected that Plitatis might not need to wait until the two domains were connected before he could contact the Holy Golden Dragon Empire.
Perhaps once a certain pattern of space-time changes in the etheric layer similar to the star map on Earth is determined, Plitatis can immediately contact the mother domain, and the subsequent construction of cross-domain transmission links will not be done by Netheril at all.
never mind.
Instead, the more powerful Holy Golden Dragon Empire has the final say.
After receiving Shado's reminder, Badigal acknowledged Shado's concerns, but he did not think that the exploration base was affected by Plitatis, but in the end he agreed to persuade others to adjust the next steps of the exploration base.
main development directions.
From plane exploration to the study of the etheric boundary itself.
