That glimmer of dissatisfaction might not change anything in normal times, but in this crisis moment, that glimmer of dissatisfaction is enough to make Ilfran and Sinaria give up on each other and completely switch to the Alliance.
This is not a betrayal of former friends, trading partners or even allies, but the right choice that any group will make in times of crisis and in the face of major issues of right and wrong.
What's more, Ilfaran is a member of the alliance and has almost only a pure trade relationship with Belluno, so he will naturally put the interests of the alliance first.
As for Cynaria, although her relationship with Belluno is deeper, she is not going to make the whole world an enemy for each other.
At present, the Illuminati has the upper hand and is constantly turning this advantage into the possibility of world destruction, but the Alliance is on the front line against the Illuminati.
If you don't know about it at all, that's fine. If you know it but still stand on the opposite side of the alliance, isn't that an accomplice of the Illuminati?
And the accomplices of the Illuminati are making enemies of the whole world!
…
Inside the Riptide.
During the conversation, Chateau, Tailen, and Meira further clarified the distinction between right and wrong, and the division between ourselves and the enemy. They went to Belluno, ostensibly to investigate, but what they actually wanted to do was not as subtle as it seemed.
In fact, they served as representatives of the Alliance, Ilfaran, and Sinaria to issue an ultimatum to Belluno. If Belluno did not cooperate, they could only take coercive measures and liquidate after the war.
There is not much time to argue with the opponent right now. Yongle City's war spell system has been fully activated and has begun to provide remote support to the alliance battlefield.
But no one knows how many local battlefield victories the Illuminati will need to secure the final victory - that is, to make the overall ritual successful.
So before coming, Xia Duo drew a bottom line for himself. He must find the sea elves on Belluno's side who are colluding with the Illuminati within today at the latest. If conditions permit, it is best to capture them.
, and then look for further clues about the Illuminati from the other party's memory.
"Ms. Mera, who among the Tide Queen's advisors, besides Solintas, do you think is most likely to become an accomplice of the Illuminati?"
"It should be Solintas alone. In the past exchanges with Belluno, the Tide Queen and other advisors have expressed their desire to return to the land to varying degrees. However, the incarnation spell in ancient times has been lost, and there is nothing they can do for the time being.
.”
What Mera didn't say is that the Eternal Meeting Island may have preserved relevant information, and may even be currently conducting research in this area. The tidal power of the Tide Queen may be an ancient legacy.
"If there is magic, it shouldn't be difficult for them to return to land, right?" Xia Duo asked again.
"It's not difficult, but considering the costs in all aspects, it may not be easier than it is now. Of course, this is just my guess. In addition, there are some sea elves who can adapt to the land environment better. This part is called "land" by them.
Walker], as far as I know, Belluno is probably researching ways to make all people become land walkers, so that they can truly adapt to both land and sea environments at the same time, not just one way."
When Meira said this, Shado immediately realized that Belluno might really place all its hopes on all the people becoming land walkers, so that they could have both the ocean and the land at the same time.
Furthermore, it actually has the potential to rule the ocean and land at the same time. This prospect is probably what every sea elf is looking forward to!
To put it another way, if terrestrial creatures are given an additional option to adapt to the ocean, will terrestrial creatures choose not to use it because they are originally terrestrial creatures?
This is obviously impossible. It is like giving money to others without any conditions. I am afraid that no one except fools will refuse!
But in this case, cutting off contact with the land may not be just the idea of a few sea elves. It is likely that many sea elves will think that they should become land walkers first and then contact the land, not now.
Without the ability to adapt to land, having more contact with the land will not only reveal your true identity, but also make land creatures wary of sea elves "coming ashore".
Thinking of this, Shado couldn't help but ask: "What do the ordinary people of Belluno think of the land? Are they hostile to the land race?"
The implication in these words couldn't be more obvious, but Meira didn't want her words to dominate Sha Duo's judgment, because she was not sure about her own judgment. After thinking carefully for a while, she still said truthfully:
"Actually, our communication and contact with Belluno is very one-sided. Apart from trade exchanges, it is almost only communication between the upper levels. We know very little about the attitudes of ordinary people in Belluno."
"That's it?"
Chateau was not satisfied with Meira's answer, so he continued to ask: "From your own perspective, what do you think the ordinary people of Belluno think of the land?"
"Then I will tell you my own opinion. It does not represent what the real people of Belluno think."
"explain!"
"I think the ordinary people in Belluno may not have any special ideas about land. Whether it is yearning or hatred, it may not be the main thing. Maybe there is more expectation." Mera came to this conclusion after thinking about it.
.
"Why?" Xia Duo asked.
"Because Belluno controls all aspects of ordinary people. In addition to food rationing, even childbirth is planned. I think their ideas may not be their own, and some are just projections or regulations of the upper-level thoughts.
.As for the upper-level Belluno, as I just said, in my contacts with them, except for Solintas, I did not feel much hatred for the land from other people. Of course, there is no negative emotion at all.
, that is impossible, even the Tide Queen herself has mentioned the betrayal of their ancient cousins several times."
"That's right! I understand!" Xia Duo nodded to express his understanding.
Judging from Meira's description, although the anti-land thoughts in Belluno are not mainstream, they are by no means non-existent. Even the Tide Queen herself has resentment against the land, not to mention other sea elves.
And although such resentment is not directed at the land races of today's era, it is entirely possible for it to turn into hatred against land races and even all aspects of the world under the instigation of thoughtful people.
In other words, Solintas may not be the only suspected sea elf, other sea elves or even all sea elves may be colluding with the Illuminati.
Of course, it remains to be seen how he will meet with Belluno's senior management, but Shado is already mentally prepared for Belluno to fully fall to the Illuminati. ()
