In the temporary warehouse, Xia Duo finally saw the captured Illuminati members up close, including the only high mage. Each of them wore a standard gray cloak, and some even wore masks.
In Chateau's opinion, this is the classic image of an evil organization.
Of course, the identities of these Illuminati members may be very normal in reality.
For example, the "broiler" Person he controls is the logistics mage of Slvend's current border city of Terminos, responsible for the maintenance of infrastructure in fixed areas within the city.
"Why do you have to join the Illuminati if you don't do anything good? Now it's better. Not only will you not be able to protect yourself, but you will also affect your family and friends behind you!"
Xia Duo removed the disguises from these Illuminati members one by one. Most of the elves were unfamiliar faces, but there were also one or two that he knew or were even familiar with. This discovery made him even more amazed!
But no matter what the reason is, the mere fact that these elves appear in the secret stronghold of the Illuminati is enough to bring disaster to their families and friends behind them.
If the involvement is found to be deep enough, it will be even more troublesome. It is not impossible for the whole family and the whole clan to go on the road together.
After saving the images of these elves and passing them on to Doom, Shado began to make copies of consciousness for these guys. After dealing with the Illuminati for so long, his skills in making copies of consciousness have really improved a lot.
This is all the result of the experience that the Illuminati has fed him time and time again.
The first thing he made was a copy of the consciousness of the only high mage caught this time. This high mage was a golden elf, and his expression when he was imprisoned was perfectly frozen in a look of horror.
In a life-or-death crisis, a high mage would not necessarily behave more calmly than ordinary people, but the high mage Xia Duo in front of him was no stranger, and could even be said to be familiar.
This is an Ellan elf. Shado has had contact with him several times before. Although the communication process is not very harmonious, it is at least beyond the attitude of most elf mages towards humans.
Xia Duo even came up with the idea of inviting the other party to join the Lingsi Network Research Center, but because the relationship was still shallow, he could not actually implement it.
"Hippoclete, I never thought that we would meet again on such an occasion!"
Although the two parties did not have much friendship, they had met and communicated with each other after all. Xia Duo could not help but sigh that he did not realize that this guy was a member of the Illuminati before.
This is after a comprehensive examination of the demon descendant, which shows that this guy is not a demon descendant, and as a high mage, this guy really has no compelling reason to join the Illuminati.
This further illustrates the true attitude of this guy, who undoubtedly believes in the rhetoric of the Illuminati - he wants to resurrect Elam and create a new world.
He's just an Ellan elf, so why is he so obsessed with Ellan?
Xia Duo really couldn't figure it out, so he became more interested in this guy's memory.
However, considering that the Alliance would soon request to take over these captives, Shado did not immediately explore Hippocrates' memory, but continued to make copies of other elves' consciousnesses.
During this period, he completely blocked outside information and waited until all copies of consciousness were completed before he lifted the block.
The next moment, a large number of messages flooded in, not only direct messages aimed at him, but even his communication device was almost exploded.
It took Xia Duo almost an hour to check all the messages and select some that he thought were important to reply to.
This information is mainly divided into three categories. The first category is asking what happened before, including the war mage in the floating city asking whether there is a new mission next.
One is the questioning of him by the Alliance, including the request for him to hand over the prisoners immediately, as well as the identity and background information Doom found based on the images of these elf prisoners he provided previously.
?????55.?????
The third category is mainly from the Tower of Time, including the concern of Niya and other people around her, as well as the work reports from Leiden, secretary, and the Institute.
In the end, Shado only replied to Niya and other people around him, as well as Doom. He replied to the latter mainly because the other party provided him with a lot of useful information and saved him time.
…
Everriska.
After Operation Peak Cutting, Shado finally returned to Everriska. Now the gravity environment of Everriska has stabilized, and there is no chaos in various urban areas, but——
While walking in the city of Everesca, Shado could still see the city's depression with his naked eyes.
There are few tourists on the street. Pedestrians come and go in a hurry. They seem to be in a hurry. And the news fed back through [Wide Area Detection] has been since the portal of Everesca was restored to use yesterday.
It never stopped for a moment.
The evacuation of a large number of tourists and even businessmen caused the city to quickly become deserted. This was the first time that Shado had seen Everesca in such a state.
Soon, Xia Duo arrived at the alliance headquarters. As soon as he arrived here, he couldn't help but smile knowingly. The place was still as lively as ever, as if the peak-cutting operation had never happened before.
But the tense expressions on the faces of the headquarters staff still revealed an unusual atmosphere. Indeed, how could there be no reaction when such a big thing happened!
"Good day, Consultant Xia Duo!"
"Good day."
Xia Duo smiled and greeted each staff member passing by. What he was most concerned about now was not how to respond to inquiries from representatives of various countries, but the situation of the computing power pool.
Theoretically, no matter where Everesca flies, as long as he is still on the main plane, it will not affect the normal operation of the computing power pool.
But that's just a theory, and it's almost impossible for actual computing power pools to remain unaffected.
It's not because of the movement of Everriska itself, but more because of the shock of the magic network caused by the Peak Cutting Technique and the change of Everriska's Mystery Lock.
It's just that the impact may be large or small, and Xia Duo now wants to confirm how much impact it has.
…
Quickly arriving at the Lingsi Network Research Center, outside the gateway control hall, Xia Duo saw Charles, whom he had contacted on the way. He kept walking, beckoning the other party to follow him, and asked at the same time:
"You just said everything is normal, do you mean the current state of the computing power pool, or has it always been like this?"
"This is the current state. There was a momentary pause in the response of various countries' network distribution, but then it recovered quickly, and then I know that nothing abnormal has happened now."
"Is it just that moment of pause?"
"Yes."
Charles gave an affirmative answer, and Shado didn't ask any more questions, because he had already met Christa, who was about to report to him.
Xia Duo spoke first: "I heard that the computing power pool had a momentary pause yesterday. Let me tell you the specific situation."
"yes."
Christa was a little surprised that Xia Duo was so concerned about that pause, but he immediately explained, "According to what I learned afterwards, the pause in the computing power pool should have occurred at the moment Evereska moved.
"Due to the interference from the sharply oscillating Magic Network environment, the link between the branch network and the main network had a momentary hysteresis effect, but it only lasted for this moment, and then it recovered.
“For computing power pool users, only some users who use advanced functions can feel it, and ordinary users can hardly feel the momentary pause.
"In addition, we conducted a surprise inspection of all gateway instruments and translation devices afterwards, and no abnormal damage was found.
"Now we can basically judge that the impact of this incident only lasted for the moment yesterday. If there is no similar situation in the future, this kind of pause should not happen again."
