Xia Duo has made preparations to resurrect all forty-six citizens. Next, it depends on whether the Illuminati will launch an attack on Midsummer Day.
Since the Midsummer Festival is approaching, Xia Duo also focuses more on the territory instead of Everesca. Over there, he basically checks in during the day to check the running status of the computing power pool, and then goes to the office.
Hang up.
Or you can directly return to Jinfeng Manor. If there is any emergency, assistant Charles or Doom can contact him.
Midsummer Eve.
As usual, Xia Duo conducted a psychic awakening experiment under Niya's care. As expected, he still failed to succeed. Although he was a little impatient, he did not deliberately speed up the progress. He continued to try at most twice a day as before.
If Niya had asked, she would have only tried it once as a guarantee.
After the experiment, Xia Duo was about to go back to rest with Niya, but unexpectedly received an alarm from Yunfeng Manor. Xia Duo's expression suddenly changed, and he teleported Nia directly back to the bedroom, and then told Nia:
"There was an emergency. A thief broke into Yunfeng Manor. I went to deal with it and will be back soon."
After saying that, Shado's body fell on the bed, and his consciousness turned to the incarnation of Everesca far away. When he walked out of the secret room where the incarnation was kept, the intruder had already arrived inside the manor.
Many of the protective measures he had set up before were also triggered one by one, but they were limited to Everesca's restrictions on the transformation of the manor. Most of the original old configurations were adopted here.
This also means that the intruder has not been controlled, but is still fighting against the protective barrier and trying to enter the main building in the center of the manor.
Just when Xia Duo was about to take control of the intruder himself, the intruder also discovered his existence and tried to send a message——
"Consultant Xia Duo, please slow down, I have something to say!"
Xia Duo paused for a moment, but did not stop. Instead, he cooperated with the manor's protective barrier to restrain the intruder. In the process, the intruder did not resist.
So Xia Duo just tied the opponent to an open space instead of moving him into the arranged spell trap.
Arriving at the open space in front of the garden, the housekeeper Rachel who came after hearing the news arrived belatedly. Chateau first asked Rachel to go back to rest, and then he came to the intruder alone and looked him up and down.
But the intruder was wrapped in a spacious black cloak, and even his face was cast to avoid any attempts at observation. Only from the tall and tall figure of the intruder, it could be roughly judged that the intruder was either a human or a golden elf.
"Who are you? Why did you break into my manor privately?" Xia Duo asked.
"Consultant Xia Duo, it's not convenient to talk here. Can you find a more private place?"
As he spoke, the intruder stretched out a hand from his dark cloak and made a symbol that was quite complicated but not unfamiliar to Sha Duo.
Seeing this, Xia Duo hesitated for a moment, and directly cast a spell to transfer the other party to the secret room underground in the manor. Then he deliberately erased the traces of the other party's infiltration, and then returned to the secret room.
"Jamdas? You are so brave!" Sha Duo asked coldly.
The symbol that the other party compared just now represents the Anti school of Jamdas. Shado has "absorbed" the memories of many psychic masters, so he is no stranger to that symbol.
But this does not mean that the other party must be from Zhamdas. After all, even he knows the symbols, and it is not uncommon for other non-Zamdas mages to know them.
"Please forgive me for trespassing. It's just that this matter is really not suitable for publicity. I also ask Consultant Xia Duo to listen to my explanation." The intruder said very sincerely.
At the same time, he also took off the cloak on his body. It was indeed as Xia Duo judged, it was a human being he had never seen before!
"First, tell me who you are? If I remember correctly, there should be no one like you in the Zhamdas envoy!" Sha Duo said in a very unkind tone.
But the intruder seemed not to notice Xia Duo's tone at all, and still explained sincerely:
"I come from the Anti school of Zhamdas, and it is true that I was not in the envoy to the Northland this time. I came to the Northland very early. Advisor Shado can call me Torres."
Speaking of this, the Zhamdas man who called himself Torres became a little nervous. He looked around in the secret room and asked Shado:
"Is this room safe and private enough?"
"I don't know about psychic powers, but arcane magic should rarely be able to break through the seal of this secret room. Even if it can, it is impossible to hide it from me. If you have anything to say, just say it and stop looking around."
"Okay, I trust Consultant Xia Duo."
In this case, Torres could only choose to trust Shado, but out of caution, he rearranged a protective spell. To Shado's surprise, this spell actually contained both psychic and arcane components.
(He has a psychic detector)
However, he was not worried that the other party would suddenly attack. Instead, he allowed the other party to cast spells. He wanted to see what terrible things the other party could say.
After doing everything he could, Torres slowly spoke, "On behalf of the Jamdas Anti School and the Zeqi School, I request to join forces with the Northland Alliance to eliminate Kalish, an extremely dangerous element."
"Huh?" Xia Duo was shocked. To be honest, he really didn't expect this result.
The other party took the trouble to break into Yunfeng's state and had all kinds of worries, but in the end they just wanted to unite with the Northland Alliance to eliminate Kalish? They didn't want the remains of the first generation mentor?
Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart, "Your envoys and the alliance have been negotiating for many rounds, but they have not been able to reach an agreement with the alliance. Why do you think that if you come to me privately, the alliance will definitely agree to cooperate?"
"Advisor Shado, I know that it is impossible for the Northland Alliance to agree to the mission's request to directly hand over Kalish, and even Kalish's request to exchange the remains of the first mentor is difficult to meet, but those are just appearances.
Up."
Torres further explained: "Kalish should have told you that he found a way to integrate spiritual energy and arcane magic. He believes that this is the real way to reach the truth. What I want to tell you now is -
Kalish is right!
"The fusion of psychic energy and arcane magic may indeed be a direct path to the truth, and the most important thing is that this path is in the hands of Kalish alone!"
"So you are going to kill him to prevent him from bringing new opportunities to the Northland Alliance?" Sha Duo asked again.
"A brand new opportunity?" Torres sneered, "All he can bring is destruction and enslavement. You underestimate the new artifact he envisioned. Once he controls the new artifact, perhaps the entire Western Continent and even the entire main plane will be destroyed."
Surrender at his feet."
"Do you think it's possible? It's just a psychic artifact, but I haven't destroyed it before!"
Xia Duo just scoffed at such alarmist talk, but he did not finish his words and let the other party continue to explain.
