Chapter 3389: A bad feeling about the trip to Erintal
In this case, should we only be satisfied with winning the rest of the local battlefields after obtaining the support of war spells?
This is a big issue related to the life and death of countless living beings in the main plane. How can it be treated so lightly? On this issue, Sha Duo feels that every possible means of victory must be tried as much as possible.
This attitude of the elven countries is too rash.
But fortunately, not all countries have always opposed Shado's proposal. At least Netheril fully supports him at the moment, and Evriska, who is temporarily under his asylum, also expressed support.
In addition, there is a country that Shado did not expect - Irfalan.
This golden elf country is considered an ally of Netheril. It often drifts away from the mainstream elven world, and is almost hostile to Cormanthor. However, after the establishment of the Northland Alliance, no matter what the relationship between the (major) countries was in the past, it is now very different.
has tended to ease.
Under this situation, Ilfaran also has its own demands and voices, and is not entirely on the same front as Netheril.
For example, the "Magic Restriction Treaty" spearheaded by Cormanthor was originally intended to target developing countries like Netheril. However, as an ally, Ilfaran silently voted in favor.
Later, things developed beyond the expectations of countries such as Cormanthor. Within the framework of the alliance, magic in various countries had greater development needs and room for development. The magic restriction treaty not only restricted Netheril, but also restricted themselves.
As a result, the Demon Restriction Treaty was abolished, and the more neutral Demon Network Protection Treaty reappeared on the negotiation table.
Because of the magic restriction treaty, the relationship between Elfaran and Netheril turned cold for a time. Later, without the magic restriction treaty, the relationship between the two countries warmed up again, but they could never return to the close state before the alliance was established.
Under such circumstances, Chateau naturally did not expect much from Ilfaran, but in the end, Ilfaran gave him a surprise.
And this surprise was not only about the support for his proposal, but also about the fact that Ilfaran was actually connected to the sea elves.
…
Of course, the continental elven countries on the main plane have not completely severed ties with the sea elves. Some ancient families with a long history still maintain the tradition of thousands of years ago, and it is normal to maintain contact with the sea elves.
The reason why Xia Duo proposed this breakthrough direction was because he hoped that families from various countries who still have connections with sea elves would participate in the investigation, and at least the clue of sea elves should be eliminated.
But on the surface, sea elves and wing elves have long been legendary existences. No country has ever publicly acknowledged the existence of sea elves, let alone maintained contact with them.
From this point of view alone, the top management of Ilfarang does have a lot of caliber.
"Ambassador Septalis, is there any information that Ilfaran can provide about the sea elves?"
"Actually, we don't know much about the sea elves. If Consultant Xia Duo hadn't actually shown clues about the sea elves, we wouldn't have mentioned it proactively. If Consultant Xia Duo wanted to know more, please ask Ai
Linthal talks in detail."
Septalis did not want to completely disclose the sea elves information held by Elfaran, but after putting forward this condition, he immediately said:
"If Advisor Xia Duo is worried that the trip will be in vain, then I can guarantee that it will not be. We have confirmed that the sea elf magic in underwater battlefields such as Teardrop Lake has fresh marks of the times, and is definitely not ancient magic found in old papers.
.”
This is equivalent to confirming Shado's speculation, that is - it is very likely that sea elves have joined the Illuminati and participated in the final decisive battle with the Northland Alliance.
With the guarantee from the representative of Ilfaran, Shado also had the idea of going to Eilintal (the capital of Ilfaran) in person, but at this time, representatives from other countries showed up again——
"If the clues about the sea elves are true, we can't just let Elfarang pay, we are also willing to contribute to the investigation."
The subtext, of course, is that they also want to share Ilfaran's exclusive information about the sea elves.
In the command network, Septalis was silent for a moment, as if he was asking for instructions from above. After a moment, he replied: "Yes, the ruling advisory group has agreed. If the countries are willing, they can also send envoys to Erintal."
…
Due to time constraints, Shado had no time to prepare anything. He simply told Doom a few words and then set foot on the portal to Erintal.
The magical world is so convenient. Even if they are far apart, with the connection of the portal, they seem to be close at hand. This is the relationship between Elintar and Everriska.
Prior to the establishment of the Northland Alliance, almost all countries had built permanent portals connected to Everesca, and the one in Netheril was at the headquarters of the Alfa Federation.
However, since Everesca was attacked by the Illuminati not long ago, Shado intercepted it from the mountain platform where it was located and placed it under the protection of Yongle City. This move caused concern in various countries, and many countries temporarily closed it.
Portal with Everriska.
A permanent portal only means that the facility is solid and does not require regular maintenance and can be opened all the time, rather than being closed immediately after opening. In fact, whether to open or close the portal is decided jointly by both parties.
To open it, both parties need to agree, but to close it, only one party needs to agree. (As the alliance headquarters, Everesca cannot refuse to open the portal under normal circumstances~)
This time, in order for envoys from all over the world to gather in Erintal, Ilfran temporarily opened the portal.
…
After walking out of the portal, the first thing Shado saw was not the majestic urban buildings of Elintar, but the scene of the same color as the sea and sky in the far west.
Under the seemingly calm sea, there are still many unknown conspiracies hidden.
"Good day, distinguished guests of the Alliance! This way, the crowned king of Luo Ruian and the chief executive advisor of Wazeler are waiting for you in the Sun Courtyard!"
The voice of the palace guard interrupted Xia Duo's deep thoughts, and then he followed him onto the flying platform, one of the means of transportation in the city, and flew straight into the sky.
The Sun Garden is located directly above Erintal. It is not the highest, but it is still at a higher position in the city, and it is also a floating building without any support.
Xia Duo had been here several times before and was no longer unfamiliar with it. As the flying platform silently blended into a gap at the edge of the Sun Garden, Xia Duo was reminded that he could get off the "car".
After that, it was a short detour to the central garden of this suspended courtyard, where many of Irfalan's informal meetings with the outside world were held.
Along the way, Xia Duo was actually a little puzzled. This meeting was actually attended by the crown prince and the chief consul of Elfalan.
Forget about the Crown Prince, Crown Prince Ilfarang is the most shameless Crown Prince in the entire North. Most of the power in the country is still in the hands of the ruling advisory group headed by Wazeler.
It stands to reason that Ilfaran only needs to provide some information about the sea elves, and there is no need for Wazele to come forward in person. Such an arrangement inevitably gave Shado a bad premonition about the upcoming meeting.
It's not that I'm worried about the other party's attitude, but I'm worried that what behind the clue of the sea elf may be far more serious than expected.
