The remains of the first-generation psychic master could not be detected outside the Kalish Gate. This result was not beyond Shado's expectations. If it had been easily discovered, Rodas and others would not have been unable to find a way out.
Even if they may have been concealed key information by their superiors, the six psionic masters' focusing instruments are all filled with the projection of the power of the artifact, so this cannot be a lie!
Before the mission begins, can those six psychic masters not check the authenticity of the mission's key props?
Therefore, even if Kalish did not steal the remains of the first mentor, Shado is more inclined to believe that Rodas and others' focusing magic weapon can detect the remains.
As for the truth, it depends on the outcome of the next meeting.
Shado asked Asta to call the door. Kalish realized something was wrong in advance and avoided seeing him. The other party generously opened the door and invited Shado in.
"Consultant Xia Duo, why did you think of coming to my place? Did you change your mind?"
"You really don't know?" Xia Duo replied pointedly.
He believed that Kalish most likely already knew that Rodas and others were missing, and even the echoes of the minds of the two psychic masters who died on the spot might reveal the cause of death, and then directly target him.
What Kalish didn't expect might be Shado's method of dealing with the prisoner's consciousness, and getting Rodas' focusing weapon here to conduct close detection on him.
"Consultant Xia Duo, I don't understand what you are saying. If you want to see the results of arcane psychic fusion again, why not make an appointment at another time? This is not an ideal experimental place."
"Don't be in a hurry to chase people away. I'm here to tell you something. Zhamdas's envoy has arrived at Evereska. They said that you stole an important treasure when you left Zhamdas.
, asking the alliance to hand you over, what do you think the alliance should do?"
Sha Duo came this time prepared for a showdown with the opponent. At this time, Kalish's expression suddenly became extremely angry about stealing the treasure in advance, and he retorted loudly:
"They slandered me and were jealous that I had won the favor of the first-generation psychic master. They even wanted to take away the legacy given to me by the first-generation psychic master. That's why they made up such outrageous reasons. I believe the alliance will be able to distinguish right from wrong and clear my name!"
"So, you did take the so-called "remains of the first mentor" with you when you left Zhamdas? You said before that you had prepared the spiritual materials to build the artifact. Is this what you were referring to?" Sha Duo said calmly.
said.
He ignored the other party's emotional show, but pointed directly at the crux of the problem. Kalish did not expect Shado to be so direct, and his carefully prepared expression became a little stiff for a while.
After being stunned for a full two seconds, Kalish reluctantly said: "Yes, when I left Zhamdas took the "Remains of the First Teacher" with me. The artifact material mentioned before is also the same, but this is not
I stole it, but it was given to me by the first generation mentor."
"Zhamdas's first generation spiritual master has been dead for who knows how many years. Can he still take his bones out of the grave and give them to you?" Sha Duo asked.
When communicating with Rodas before, the other party also mentioned that the echo of the mind of the first generation mentor had long since disappeared. If it had not disappeared, someone might have resurrected him long ago.
Kalish also has his own explanation for this, "After the death of the first-generation psychic master, the remains were divided among his students. A considerable part of them were made into psychic artifacts, some were lost in the process of inheritance, and the rest
It has been passed down ever since.
"Those remains are not kept in tombs, but mostly in meditation rooms. It was during a meditation that I accidentally communicated with the echo of thoughts held in the eyebrows of the first generation mentor. We exchanged our views on spiritual energy and the world.
.
"The first mentor recognized my point of view very much, so he gave the remains to me. Otherwise, do you think you can just get the remains of the first mentor, which Zhamdas regarded as a treasure?"
Speaking of this, Kalish was about to continue to persuade Sha Duo, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, his face suddenly changed, his eyes stared at Sha Duo, and he said in surprise:
"you--"
Xia Duo was also shocked when he saw this. He did not expect that even indirect detection using the avatar as a medium would be discovered by Kalish.
Before, Rodas repeatedly promised that even if he took out the focusing instrument for detection in front of Kalish, he would not be discovered, but what about now?
However, although Xia Duo was surprised in his heart, he did not show it at all on his face. Instead, he pretended not to know anything and asked the other party: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something. By the way, Consultant Shado, you just said that Zhamdas' people have arrived in Everesca. Have you met them?"
"Well--"
Shado didn't expect Kalish to react like this at all. Before coming, he had thought that Kalish might discover his detection and point it out on the spot.
But the current reaction seems to indicate that Kalish was also surprised by the detection of the artifact, and he also placed the target of suspicion on the Zhamdas people.
For a moment, Shado was a little confused. Is this a performance? Or are Kalish and Zhamdas actually not the same person?
In response to Kalish's inquiry, Shado did not choose to lie, but hid part of the key information, "I have not met them, but on the way here, I passed by the other courtyard where they were temporarily staying."
Kalish could tell whether Shado was lying, so he nodded, temporarily suppressing the doubts in his heart, and then continued:
"Zhamdas must have bad intentions. Once I prove myself with the artifact, a considerable number of them will lose control of their psychic abilities because they cannot accept this reality."
"You mean they want to stop you from building the artifact?"
"Of course, if I can't create a new fusion artifact, how can I prove that my path is correct? This is not only my choice, but also the wish of the first generation of spiritual masters, and the expectations of countless arcane mages. You are still
Do you want to stop me?"
Kalish brought up the new artifact plan again and asked Shado again about his attitude, but Shado said: "When did I say I would stop you? It's your own business if you want to build a new artifact.
"But if it involves the computing power pool and the alliance, as an alliance consultant, I always need to be responsible for the alliance and the people of the North, right?
"As long as you can control the risks, as an arcane mage, don't I want to see new directions in expanding the boundaries of arcane magic?"
In fact, Xia Duo's bottom line is obviously higher than the current era. If it were some black-hearted mages in the current era, they would not care about the life or death of civilians or low-level mages. As long as it is beneficial to them, they will do it.
This is what Sha Duo is most worried about right now, so he has to find a way to start with Kalish.
It would be unrealistic to persuade all the countries in the alliance to give up this opportunity just because the risks are too high, because all the risks do not need to be borne by those in power.
Only if there are problems with Kalish's plan itself can countries reconsider it.
