Chapter 3355 Interrogation of Carano The Origin of the Illuminati
In the command network, Xia Duo reduced the frequency of his participation in commanding front-line operations and focused more on sorting out the data collected during Operation Teardrop Lake.
This part of data is not only very large in quantity, but more importantly, it exists in the form of subconscious information in the spiritual network.
Among the Alliance mages currently recruited, Xia Duo is not the only one who can interpret subconscious messages, but he is the only one who can directly interpret them.
There may be other mages who can do it, but they have not reported it to the alliance in advance. It is impossible for Shado to ask them one by one. He just assigns their tasks according to their reported abilities.
And the job of interpreting that part of the subliminal information is entirely on his own shoulders. To be honest, if this job is done by someone else, Xia Duo may not be at ease.
Fortunately, he doesn't have to rely solely on his own strength to interpret it as he did at the beginning. He also has a very useful tool, which has also played an important role in previous actions——
Intelligent brain.
Essentially, it is a thought cluster composed of copies of Sha Duo's consciousness in a certain way.
Although some of the information involving important privacy has been deleted, the brain composed in this way can still be used to assist in interpreting subconscious information.
This is the meaning of tools, which can allow users to greatly save time and energy.
That night, Xia Duo sent the first batch of information to the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory, which was all the status information of the magic network including the details of the Illuminati rituals during Operation Teardrop Lake.
How to eliminate interfering information and accurately find out the part that corresponds to the details of the Illuminati ritual requires researchers from the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory.
Of course, Xia Duo can do it himself, but he is definitely not as efficient as multiple mages working together to do this kind of thing. Moreover, he has not yet sorted out all the information collected during Operation Teardrop Lake.
At the moment, I don’t have the time or energy to participate in the work of the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory.
Fortunately, the first batch of information has been transmitted, and there will be about four or five times the amount of follow-up information, plus scattered information that is still being transmitted from the front line to this day.
If nothing else, you should be able to gain something. Of course, the time of harvest is critical.
Therefore, Xia Duo did not want to be passively led by the Illuminati. He also wanted to regain some initiative as much as possible, and he was by no means helpless.
…
Yongle City.
In the laboratory, Xia Duo calmly arranged various protective measures, and then an elf statue with a struggling expression and slightly distorted movements quietly appeared in the open space reserved in the center of the laboratory.
This is Carano, the high mage of the Moonshadow family whom he captured in Tevi Mansa before!
Previously, when he was in Taivi Mansa, Shado had a brief conversation with Daphne, a seer who was suspected to be the leader of the Illuminati. Through that conversation, he saw the other person's firm determination not to give up until he achieved his goal.
And the Yueying family is very likely to be deeply involved with the Illuminati. Shado is not ready to waste words with this Carano anymore. In fact, he has dealt with the other party earlier. In his opinion, this is not a good person.
Compare to your peers.
Therefore, he simply checked the other party's status and then started to make a copy of his consciousness.
This can be regarded as Xia Duo's three strategies for interrogating the high mage prisoner - first imprisoning him, then making a copy of his consciousness, and finally violently analyzing the prisoner's consciousness directly.
He obtained the spell [Cage of Consciousness] in the projection plane, and then combined it with the original [Intellectual Enlightenment] (which essentially also creates a copy of consciousness) in the main plane of Netheril to create tower spirits, and finally formed
the current interrogation methods.
During this period, any high mage that Sha Duo interrogated was never ineffective. It was just that the copies of consciousness created were limited (some prisoners needed to be handed over to the Alliance), and they were unable to interpret all the information they wanted.
In addition, interpreting the subconscious is a huge project. When time is limited, it is basically impossible to do everything in detail, so there must be a tendency, and therefore there will inevitably be omissions.
But no matter what, in terms of information acquisition efficiency, it is still far beyond conventional interrogation methods.
Furthermore, if enough copies of consciousness are created, or the prisoner's body is retained, analysis can continue as long as there is time in the future.
The consciousness of a high mage contains all of his memories, as well as a large amount of subconscious information that even he himself may not know. This is a huge treasure that is meaningless.
In the early stage, it was used to obtain specific information, which was equivalent to digging a shovel at random, and the rest that were not dug up actually accounted for the vast majority. There was no way Xia Duo could dig out a treasure with only one shovel.
All of them must be developed in the future.
It's just that he is busy with too many facts. Unless there are special circumstances in the future, he won't analyze it himself. There is a high probability that he will set up a special project and leave it to the people at the Tower of Time to do it.
As for now, for the sake of efficiency, of course he still has to do it himself.
…
Unconsciously, one night passed, and after a complicated and boring analysis of consciousness, Chateau's understanding of Carano was probably second only to Carano himself.
He mainly searches for Carano's consciousness information in two lines. One line is Carano's Moon Shadow family, and the other line is of course the Illuminati.
The former allowed Xia Duo to understand the origin, development history of the Yueying family, as well as some major events in the past few hundred years, while the latter also verified Xia Duo's previous guesses.
The Moon Shadow family and the Illuminati indeed have a very deep connection!
The origin of the Illuminati is very early. It was initially just a folk belief spread among the elves at the bottom, believing that a savior saint would be born in the future who could save all suffering.
Including but not limited to the oppression of wood elves.
But after Arivanda won the Crown War, the Illuminati and similar folk beliefs were hit. At the same time, the belief in the Elf Lord (officially known as the Elf Guardian God and the God of War Victory) emerged.
It's just that folk beliefs sometimes survive more the more they are hit. If left unchecked, they may dissipate on their own.
The Illuminati undoubtedly belongs to the former, but in the process of development, the belief has been gradually distorted by the influence of the outside world. They no longer believe that a savior saint will be born in the future to save all suffering, but believe that the elven god can save all suffering.
Perhaps this is also an important reason why the Illuminati has been passed down nearly ten thousand years ago.
Of course, this is not important, because with the existence of wise men, the Illuminati with wise men and the Illuminati without wise men are already two completely different organizations.
The latter has long since ceased to exist, and is most likely one of the origins of the Druid Sunlight School. (The Sunlight School still believes in the main god of elves, but focuses on the application of sunlight spells. It may also be influenced by the Lord of Radiance, which is earlier than Nese.
