Chapter 3256: Quick interrogation, thankful but fearful
The Illuminati members caught this time were completely within the reasonable range, and they could continue the investigation openly after the interrogation. Xia Duo had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, but he didn't expect it to come so easily this time!
An entire den was taken over by a group of high-level instant mages. After understanding the relevant situation, Sha Duo immediately transferred these Illuminati members to the floating city, and then also transferred the villa demiplane as a temporary command center.
.
Since Evereska has left with Paradise City, there is no need to stay in the villa demiplane that still overlaps with Evereska's original location. Shado knows that there are many Evereskas in the demiplane.
Ka Mage is very concerned about Evereska’s current condition!
Just when Shado returned to Yongle City and prepared to make copies of consciousness for those Illuminati members, he finally received a summons from Elder Devin, as well as Ambassador Tirion, Netheril's representative to the Northland Alliance.
The former is mainly asking about Everika's current status, while the latter is more concerned about why a good arrest operation turned into what it is now, and did so to Everriska without notifying all parties in advance.
such a huge change.
Even with the explanations from Elder Devin and Elder Larian, this matter has caused quite a bit of confusion at the alliance headquarters, and now representatives from various countries are waiting for an explanation.
In response to Tirion's question, Shado simply gave an explanation that the situation was urgent and mentioned that there would be further explanation later. To Elder Devin, Shado's reply was more detailed——
"Thanks to the trust of the Council of Elders of Everriska, the transfer of Everriska is currently in progress. The various mysteries in the city have not been seriously affected. The current chaos will be resolved soon."
Xia Duo focused on the myth locks in the city. With Elder Devin providing the myth lock authority, only a few areas or functions that were spatially bound to the deep terrain were temporarily paralyzed.
However, the main functions and related permissions have not been greatly affected, and it is not difficult to return to the previous state after proper repair.
In addition, Shado also mentioned the follow-up arrangements for Everriska. He provided Elder Devin with two plans -
"I can help you build Everiska into a floating city. Before completion, Everiska can temporarily dock next to Yongle City.
"Or, level the original platform, or even cut off part of it, and put Evereska back in place. In this way, the height will only be reduced, and the actual usable area of the city will be expanded.
."
The place where Evereska was originally located was a platform with a height of more than 300 meters. As the name suggests, the platform is a round platform with a thin top and a thick bottom, like a mountain peak with its tip cut off.
The most extreme case is to remove the entire platform and connect it with the surrounding valleys to form a large basin surrounded by mountains.
If this is done, the usable area of Evereska's city will be maximized, which can be increased by almost seven to eight times.
Chateau actually hopes that Everriska will choose the latter option. Compared to transforming Everriska into a floating city, even the most extreme option of removing the entire platform seems very easy.
There were floating cities in the history of the elven world, and even now, there are still a large number of floating buildings in many elven cities.
The most typical and common one is the suspended walkway.
??????????.??????
However, it is undoubtedly more difficult to maintain a trail in the air than to maintain a city in the air for a long time or even permanently. The reason why Shado can build a floating city relies more on Mythra.
Otherwise, he would never do something so cost-effective.
But it is certainly impossible for him to hand over Mythra to Everesca. He can only find a way through conventional magic. This is too troublesome and requires too much time, energy and resources, which is equivalent to a very large project.
Of course, if the transformation can be successful, this will also be a major progress in the field of magic.
…
After Shado proposed two plans, Elder Devin almost without hesitation chose to transform Everesca into a floating city, and the reason he gave was also very simple -
Take advantage of the opportunity of renovating the floating city to re-plan the Mystery Lock of Everriska.
After hearing this reason, Shado immediately understood the true intention of Everesca. I am afraid that he is still resentful of the alliance's seizure of the Mystic Lock authority, and wants to take advantage of this opportunity to take back the authority, or to make changes to the authority held by the alliance.
limit.
Or as Elder Devon said - repurpose.
Shado certainly expressed his support for this. Although Netheril benefited from this matter, such benefits are destined to not last long, and there are also compliance issues.
As the saying goes, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." This situation is difficult to accept in any country. It means bullying Evereska because of its weak strength and limited territory. Otherwise, it can directly divide a piece of land or a city for it.
What a great alliance headquarters.
Xia Duo, on the other hand, thought more deeply. If the alliance wants to develop in the long term, internal fairness and justice is definitely a very important condition. The alliance headquarters does have special significance, but it is not a reason to seize the power of a country.
He felt that it was enough to set aside a certain area to allow the alliance headquarters to build protective measures on its own, and any more would be redundant.
It's just that it's really inconvenient for him to express his position on this issue. Otherwise, although it won't completely isolate him from Netheril, at least it will create a gap between him and other Netheril councilors.
So there is no need to mention this matter, just do it.
As for being asked about it afterwards, it was just that I was attracted by Everesca's generosity and wanted to learn something from this big project.
This is an excellent excuse. Although the magic system is different, if there is such an opportunity, almost no Nese mage will refuse it.
And this is actually Xia Duo’s true thought——
Cooperate with the top contemporary elf mages in the main plane to jointly explore the boundaries of arcane magic. It also involves a lot of engineering problems, which are also worthy of learning from Nese mages.
…
Xia Duo agreed with Elder Devin's choice, but there was a bigger problem next, which was to explain to the alliance. Xia Duo himself had nothing to do, it was just that the situation was urgent and he had to take this step.
But how does Evereska explain the floating city renovation plan that will be anchored next to Yongle City for quite some time?
Fortunately, this problem does not need to be a headache for Xia Duo. Since Elder Devin has made such a choice, the corresponding consequences or all the problems caused should be solved by Everesca. He is just a project partner.
