Chapter 3251 The enemy is underground and temporary transfer of power
No matter what the legend is, what is certain now is that the giant platform where the city-state Evereska is located is indeed made of stone, consistent with the material of the surrounding mountain peaks.
In other words, there is a lot of imaginable space under Everesca!
It is entirely possible that the Illuminati would build a secret stronghold underground in Everriska, and it could even use the earth element environment deep underground to completely shield Everriska from monitoring.
Under normal circumstances, no one will specialize in developing detection spells in the field of earth elements. Even if they are developed, this kind of detection method that is too single in nature is very easy to be blocked or misled.
It is far inferior to the most popular detection spell of perception amplification + projection based on the perception of elves or humans on the main plane. However, the most suitable place for this detection spell is where elves or humans can move.
The underground is not the domain of intelligent races, especially the completely solid rock formations. Even dwarves would be in awe and unable to penetrate deep inside, let alone move around.
Probably only those elemental creatures can thrive in such an environment!
Shado had never thought before that the Illuminati might build a secret stronghold underground in Everriska. In the past, he might have overestimated the elves and Everriska.
Of course, even now, he did not discover the Illuminati's secret stronghold through direct detection methods, but discovered it through a pre-transmission path that was most likely exposed by the other party.
So, why would the other party make such a move that would expose their secret stronghold to him?
Is it because there are big fish inside the Russ Chamber of Commerce and several other targets, and the value of the big fish is much higher than a secret stronghold?
Or is it because the situation has developed to the point where the Illuminati doesn't care about it at all?
As for the possibility that the Illuminati believed that they would not be traced to their secret stronghold by the Alliance, Shado completely ignored it. He did not believe that the Illuminati, who had the ability to design such a pre-transmission method, would not be aware of the drawbacks of this method.
It can be said that the only advantage of pre-transmission is that it is almost impossible to prevent and intercept. The rest are all disadvantages.
If it is an organization with public activities, then of course it can ignore those disadvantages, but for an organization that needs to be hidden, pre-transmission, a method with obvious disadvantages, is not worth it.
But the Illuminati just used it, and they used it in front of Xia Duo.
No matter what the real reason is for the Illuminati to use this method, Shado's attention has indeed been drawn to the secret stronghold located underground in Evereska.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo's face darkened slightly and he looked at Brad beside him, "There is something I would like to ask your Excellency to ask the Council of Elders of your country."
"What's going on?" Brad didn't know what Xia Duo had discovered at this time. He was still happy that the field team's operation went smoothly, but he didn't know that what was caught below were just some worthless shrimps.
The big fish is still hiding underground!
"I would like to ask, does your country's Council of Elders intend to build Evereska into a floating city?"
"Build Everesca into a floating city?"
Even though Brad was well prepared, he never expected that Xia Duo's mind would jump so fast. He was obviously conducting an arrest operation, so why did he suddenly think of building a floating city?
"I will convey it to Advisor Xia Duo."
"No, time is running out. You should report to the superiors now! Also, if you don't want to build a floating city, do you mind lowering the height of the city?"
??????55.??????
"Let the height of the city be lowered?" Brad seemed to have some understanding, but he couldn't think of the key point, so he simply passed it to the Council of Elders truthfully and let the elders make their own judgment.
…
Soon, almost at the same time that Brad agreed to be subpoenaed, Chateau received a question from Larian, "Has Consultant Chateau discovered any clues that will cause huge turmoil for Everriska?"
"Yes there are some."
Shado told Larian about his findings and put forward his conjecture, "I think the Illuminati may launch an operation against Everesca in the near future or even today, perhaps just like what they did in Elam.
, but they attacked the magic weapon factory before, and now they attack an entire city!"
If it were just an attack as powerful as a magic weapon factory, it would not be enough to destroy Everesca, but you must know that the magic weapon factory was only attacked once.
It is entirely possible for the Illuminati to launch multiple attacks on Everriska at the same time, which is equivalent to throwing Elan's seven magic network decay areas at Everriska at the same time.
Regardless of whether the Illuminati has the ability to launch such an attack again, it is impossible for neither Shado nor Larian to ignore such a situation.
And now, when Larian heard that the Illuminati might target Evereska next, his horror was almost palpable, and he quickly asked:
"Consultant Xia Duo, is this information accurate? Do you want to confirm it again?"
"It's too late. You must make a decision immediately whether to keep Everesca! I can help you if necessary!"
On the other side, Larian had already arrived at the Yunding Tower, and all the other elders had also arrived. He synchronized the communication process between himself and Sha Duo to all the elders, but none of them expected that now was the time to make a decision.
When other elders were silent, the highest elder Devin took the lead to set the tone: "Whether this news is true or false, we cannot refuse the kindness of Advisor Xia Duo."
Yes, it is related to the fate of a city and a country. Who dares and who can bear the responsibility of rejection!
But they also knew that once they agreed to Xia Duo, they might fall into another trap, but the situation no longer allowed them to hesitate.
Soon, Shado received a message from Larian, and also expressed that Elder Devin wanted to meet with him. Shado provided the temporary coordinates of the demiplane villa garden. The next moment, a worried-looking old elf appeared in the garden.
In the garden.
"Elder Devin?" Doom and McGlor were surprised by Devin's sudden arrival, but Brad was thoughtful and showed a worried look.
In front of Doom and McGlor, Shado showed Elder Devin the process of discovering the secret stronghold of the Illuminati. The three intelligence managers, especially the former Everscarbride, all showed panic expressions.
.
Elder Dewen, on the other hand, calmed down now. He looked at Xia Duo, as if he wanted to see the truth of the matter from Xia Duo's expression and eyes, but unfortunately, there was no concealment or fraud in what Xia Duo said.
There is no conspiracy at all.
In the end, Devin stretched out a hand and handed a silver scepter into Sha Duo's hand, and said: "I'll leave the rest to Sha Duo's consultant."
"I will not disappoint the elders!" Xia Duo took the scepter, feeling neither happy nor sad, only filled with hatred for the Illuminati and immense confidence in his next actions.
