Chapter 3316 The ignorant are fearless, secret visit
All the contradictions are due to limited knowledge. What Xia Duo now knows is only one-sided information collected by the Nese Embassy, which may also include the subjective conjectures of Nese intelligence personnel.
The same thing may appear to be two completely different interests to people from different standpoints.
Thinking like this, Shado is looking forward to the collection of books in the Library of Stars even more. Perhaps through the dual perspectives of humans and elves, Daphne's true face and the true relationship between her and Helion can be restored to the maximum extent.
Of course, his more important purpose is to find out the secrets related to the leader of the Illuminati, the Wise Man.
…
After coming out of the embassy archives, Shado went straight to the upper branches of Saratodia. The Starry Library is actually an annex of the Starry Temple open to the public.
And the Starry Temple belongs to the scope of the palace in a broad sense. Below the Starry Temple is Yeerlan's Council of Elders, and above it is the residence of the Crown Prince in a narrow sense. The real palace is located, or it can also be called the inner court.
The branch where the Nese Embassy is located is lower than the Parliament. Xia Duo climbed all the way up. Apart from being slightly depressed, what he saw was a familiar scenery, and this scenery may have not changed for decades or even hundreds of years.
This is the elven world, a world where development is stagnant and classes are highly solidified.
Of course, after the establishment of the Northland Alliance, the elven civilization that had been declining in the past finally showed signs of recovery, but it was just a sign. If the Illuminati does not handle it well this time, it may not just interrupt the recovery trend.
It is very likely that there will be no chance to turn around.
It's the same for Xia Duo. Although the situation is not as severe as for the elves, if he loses the last battle, even he will inevitably have to wander to another world in a short time. Even if he counterattacks, he can only
Much later.
Now, although Xia Duo is ready for the decisive battle, his preparations are more on the material level, such as the Yongle City that is always on standby, the missing robe that Niya specially left for him, etc.
Psychologically, he actually has no bottom. After all, from the day the name Illuminati appeared, this mysterious enemy began to continue to gain momentum. Even if it slightly frustrated several plans of the Illuminati along the way, that was not the case.
What can it explain?
The countries in the alliance, including Xia Duo, still have a very limited understanding of the true situation within the Illuminati. Even Xia Duo has more knowledge. On the contrary, countries are now more confident and feel that they can completely eliminate the Illuminati.
Only Xia Duo, who knows the most, can feel the huge pressure ahead like a stormy sea.
The reason why he did not synchronize all the information he had with other countries was that on the one hand he was worried about being noticed by the Illuminati in advance, and on the other hand he was also worried that such huge pressure would cause countries to panic, which would affect the recruitment and deployment of rapid response forces.
Assemble.
At the moment, apart from Yongle City and the Magic Robe of Missing, the most powerful force that Sha Duo has at hand is the rapid response force composed of elite mages drawn from various countries in the alliance.
The elites here are not just mages, but also the elites of various countries in a literal sense, including many high-level mage volunteers.
And this is a list that is updated in real time to ensure that a sufficient force can be assembled at any time. Officials from various countries must have done a lot of work and paid a lot of price.
In the current situation where the number of spellcasters in the Northland is not very high, it is almost impossible to maintain such a high-level team on standby, which is why it is possible to exist only under this special situation.
And Xia Duo cherishes this opportunity very much.
…
Soon, Xia Duo passed through multiple parallel blocks up and down, and came to a block on the same floor near the parliament. He stopped here, because going up further, the current disguised identity might not be enough.
It's not that the authority is insufficient, but because of the ancient martial law in the city. From the parliament level upwards, there are basically no traces of ordinary people's activities. It can be imagined that the city area above the parliament must be under a high degree of surveillance.
No matter how many reasons a human has to go to the Starry Library under such circumstances, unless he takes the initiative to reveal his true identity, he will inevitably be subject to an interrogation or even an interrogation.
In the end, the only way to go is to reveal his true identity. Otherwise, would he still have to kill Tevi Mansa? Or should he tie his hands and let Erlan conduct various forms of interrogation?
So Xia Duo chose another path——
He walked into a remote tavern with the door half-opened. To his surprise, the tavern looked deserted on the outside, but in fact it was extremely lively inside. However, such a gathering place was not closed under martial law.
Perhaps the Erlan side felt that too tight control might lead to more serious consequences, so they deliberately opened some doors to allow people to communicate with each other and express their fears.
In addition to this tavern, there are probably some similar places that can operate normally during the martial law period. The pedestrians he saw on the road before may have this or that destination.
Xia Duo knew that such a place must be under high surveillance by Yeerlan officials, but it barely fit his current identity and personality - a Nese embassy staff member who had just returned from outside and encountered an unprecedented emergency in the elf world.
In a state of panic, I needed to vent my emotions, so I searched and searched for this pub.
After a while, a tavern guest who also had human appearance and was only covered by a simple thin hood sat down opposite Sha Duo. He first ordered a glass of the cheapest mead, and then quietly passed the message, with a hint of helplessness in his tone:
"Consultant Xia Duo, now is not the best time for us to meet!"
"Ambassador Osmantus, I actually wanted to thank you in person and thank you for sending someone to deliver the entry permit. But after you returned home that day, you never went to Everesca again. Fortunately, it's not too late to thank you in person this time.
."
"That's enough, Xia Duo, what do you want to say? Don't tell me that your gratitude is drinking in this civilian pub? If you really want to thank me, then it's best not to contact me during this period of time."
After saying that, Osmantus was ready to get up and leave, but of course Shado was not prepared to let him leave like this. He finally called him out. He hid his identity and went to the Stars Library just to count on him!
How could you let the other party run away!
This is what Shado thinks. Because Osmantus has to hold an important position in the alliance, he has undergone a spiritual review specially designed for the Illuminati. This means that to a certain extent, Osmantus is more trustworthy than the Crown Prince of Yerlan.
letter.
At least, Xia Duoke had never heard of Helion undergoing any kind of spiritual examination, and the same was true for the elders of the Ellan Gaoshu Council of Elders.
Although the interests of these Ye Erlan superiors are highly consistent and highly bound to Ye Erlan, the infiltration of the Illuminati is no joke. Who knew there were several Illuminati members hiding among them!
Moreover, once his secret trip to the Library of Stars is discussed in parliament or the palace, it will inevitably be known to the prophet Daphne, who has been basically recognized by him as a member of the Illuminati, and there will be no point in keeping it secret.
Therefore, Shado finally chose to ask Osmantus for help. ()
