As long as the Illuminati doesn't make any big noise in the future, I think Osmantus will be willing to keep it a secret for him and arrange a secret visit to the Library of Stars for him. After all, they both have the same goal, which is to eliminate the Illuminati.
As for the possibility that Osmantus was suddenly persuaded or controlled by the Illuminati in the two days after his return, it is not impossible, but it can almost be ignored.
Although Xia Duo dislikes variables, he thinks this level of risk is still acceptable.
In addition to this reason, there is another important reference factor for Xia Duo to choose Osmantus, that is, the advanced reading permissions he currently obtained in the Stars Library were obtained through Osmantus.
Although I don’t know how the other party did it, it is almost certain that once he uses this authority, Osmantus will most likely know about it.
At that time, if the other party finds out that it is not him who is reading, but another person who hides his identity, misunderstandings will inevitably occur and explanations will be very troublesome, so Xia Duo simply went to Osmantus directly.
As for whether Osmantus can help, Chateau has no doubt about this.
If there were any problems with becoming a country's plenipotentiary ambassador abroad and arranging people to go to the library to check information, then Osmantus would not have stayed in that position until now.
Just like Tirion, the representative of Netheril in the Alliance, although he does not have the right to vote in the Sevington Parliament, due to the special nature of his position, he has been given many powers within the Parliament.
This includes searching for confidential information at all levels, but this search does not necessarily require him to search it himself, but he can authorize others to search it for him.
Similar to Xia Duo, he can also authorize others to help him find information, but he himself may not ask in real time whether others are present in person or whether they have used a proxy.
At most, he can regularly check the reading records of the corresponding materials to see if there are any illegal operations, or conduct a back-check after something happens. Generally speaking, he does not need to personally intervene.
In the elven world, such operations are common, even more common than in Netheril. It's just whether the relevant authority is afraid of trouble and dares to take responsibility.
The risk in this is actually very small. If Xia Duo really wanted to cause trouble in the Starry Library, he would not approach Osmantus, a typical Erlan authority.
The high-level reading privileges of the Starry Library may be difficult for outsiders to obtain, but within Yeerlan, it may not be a rare power.
Those high-ranking families that are not in the mainstream and even some small and medium-sized families may have such authority. However, because Xia Duo was in a hurry and the others were not familiar with him, he approached Osmantus.
To a certain extent, this is also showing his sincerity to Osmantus, as if to say - look, if I really want to cause trouble, I will definitely not come to you. If I come to you, I believe in you, and you should also
Believe me!
…
In the end, Osmantus made the decision to agree to help while reluctantly drinking a glass of mead. This was not beyond Shado's expectations. Even the entry permit and advanced reading permissions were provided.
Now it's nothing more than doing a small favor, allowing Shado to hide his identity and enter the Library of Stars. Even if he doesn't agree with this, if Shado really wants to cause something in Ellan, can Osmantus still be able to get rid of the relationship?
It would be better for him to arrange it himself, so that Xia Duo would not go to other people to make too much noise and add another chaotic variable to the already sensitive situation in Taivi Mansa.
As long as it is handled properly, it can be assumed that Shado has never been to Tevi Mansa.
Osmantus never thought that Shado would have found the hiding place of the Moon Shadow family, a family involved in the Illuminati that was also wanted on the official level in Ye Erlan!
If he had known, I am afraid he would not agree so readily now, but would try to persuade Xia Duo to leave Ye Erlan, or persuade Xia Duo to hand over the clues he discovered, and let Ye Erlan take over.
But there is no such thing as reality. Although Osmantus has overestimated Shado's ability to act and the results of his investigation, he still failed to touch the true state that Shado had reached.
Now, he just left a message, "Someone will come over later to take you to the Starry Library", and then left quietly.
…
While Shado was waiting in the tavern for Osmantus to send someone, he also received news from Archangel Rich and Tirion that Archangel Ted had arrived in the Underdark.
After learning that Netheril had sent high-level priests to the Underdark for on-the-spot investigation, Denzo attached great importance to it and not only completed all the entry procedures in the shortest possible time, but even sent a prince to personally take care of the transportation.
After all, the area where the prototype of the Abyss is located is not that peaceful, but there are a large number of demons entrenched there. Danzo only dispersed those demons again, but was not able to eliminate them all.
If the priests of Netheril die underground, it will not be so easy to get Netheril to send people next time, and the most important thing is - once this happens, it will greatly delay the purification of the abyss.
Business.
If there is anyone on the main plane who is least willing to see the prototype of the Abyss evolve into a real Abyss, it must be Danzo.
The prototype of the Abyss is in the Underdark. If it evolves into a real Abyss and a large number of demons rush out from it, the one who is closest to it will definitely bear the brunt.
Of course, there are other underground forces who cannot see this happening, but currently Danzo has the greatest influence underground, and only Danzo is most likely to recruit reinforcements from the surface.
So this time Ted went to the Dark Territory, the surface and the underground hit it off immediately, and Danzo will definitely not regret such a decision in the future, because Ted did not just report the investigation in the past, but personally lifted the power of the abyss.
danger to the ground.
Even if Danzo was more proactive, Ted might even be willing to help eliminate the scattered demons.
Of course, just destroying demons on the main plane will not touch their essence, unless there is a spellcaster who is good at confinement to help, imprisoning the essence of those demons in their mortal projection.
In this way, it may be easier to destroy demons in the mortal world than in the outer plane, which will also increase the enthusiasm of divine envoys to help. After all, if the demons cannot be completely eliminated, the actual divine favor obtained will be very limited.
It's okay to help out once or twice, but if you answer the call every time, I'm afraid you won't be so active.
Even darkly, some divine envoys may be more willing to let those demonic projections wreak havoc in the mortal world, so that when the situation deteriorates and the prototype of the abyss is formed, they can gain more divine favors by taking action.
Of course, Ted is definitely not this kind of angel who is on the verge of depravity.
