Chapter 3405 Netheril’s potential new allies lock the target
This move is really clever, at least for now Xia Duo has not thought of any other way to keep paper books normal underwater besides isolating the water.
According to his observations, the Tide Queen's approach may be to use Belluno's ubiquitous water element field to precisely change the properties of the water element where the book is located, so that it no longer wets the paper, and can even be pulled away from the paper.
Sea elves have lived in a water environment for a long time, and are far ahead of land people in water-related applications. Even Xia Duo has to admit this.
The "Articles of Association" he gave was written in standard Elvish language. Even sea elves who have been away from the mainland for tens of thousands of years can read it relatively smoothly. Sea elves have been away from the mainland for tens of thousands of years, but they are not isolated from the world.
It's just that the language has naturally differentiated due to the environment. The text is still the same as before. Standard Elvish has eliminated redundant semantics and is most suitable for beginners of Elvish. For sea elves who already understand Elvish, naturally they will not
There are too many obstacles.
And that "Articles of Association" was written with some principled clauses in the program. It didn't take much time for the Queen of Tides to read it twice in succession. After reading it, she also gave an affirmative answer:
"If this is the alliance, then Belluno is willing to join the Northland Alliance."
"There is no rush to join the Northland Alliance. Even Sinaria will have to wait at least until after the war for a reply. I have already notified Belluno's application to join the alliance to the representatives of the alliance countries. Let's talk first.
How to catch the Illuminati’s little tail!”
Chateau had indeed informed the representatives of various countries at the alliance headquarters that Belluno would join the alliance. At the same time, he also mentioned that catching the clue of sea elf magic must rely on Belluno's cooperation.
Just like Sinaria joining the alliance, the representatives of various countries did not oppose Belluno's joining, but they just said that they would wait until after the war to vote.
Of course there may be variables in this, but Xia Duo will try his best to promote it. As for the moment, he still has to focus on dealing with the Illuminati. He really doesn't have the energy to make every representative make a guarantee that they will agree after the war.
However, Shado has had a brief exchange with Iolum and Badigal. The three of them all believe that Belluno can be developed into an ally of Netheril. The reason is that Belluno's magic system is closely related to Netheril.
I'm very close.
It's just that he has an extra water element tendency. If Belluno still wants to live in the deep sea in the future, he must persist in this. But if Belluno thinks about developing shallow seas or even land, he can actually do it almost seamlessly.
Integrated into the Nese magic system.
Although Belluno now only has a population of several hundred thousand, they have popularized magic to all the people. Their overall strength is not as good as that of the big land countries, but their magic system is lacking.
Once this point is made up, not to mention completely catching up with the land powers, at least it will have the strength to fight a full-scale war with the big powers. If the population catches up again, it will become a regional power.
If we can obtain such an ally, Netheril will undoubtedly be able to increase its voice in the alliance, which is much stronger than Ilfran, who is becoming more and more powerful.
As for the possibility that sea elves and land elves are completely as close as one family, this possibility does exist, but it is very low. If they were close enough, there would be no contact with each other for tens of thousands of years.
Not to mention, the magic system is actually the development path. There has been a clear division between sea elves and land elves, and they have taken the same path as Netheril. In this case, even if they are not allies, they will naturally develop due to the external situation.
Get closer.
In addition, the universal popularization of magic by the sea elves is considered a taboo in the land elven countries. I am afraid that there will be no civil exchanges between the two sides for quite some time in the future.
This may even prevent Belluno from joining the Alliance, which would require a strong push from Netheril, just like Ilfran pushed for Sinaria.
In fact, Belluno and Sinaria are already bound together at this moment. The two countries will either join the alliance together or be rejected together. There is almost no third possibility.
This may also be the best time for Belluno to join the alliance, even more critical than the time chosen by Cynaria. If he misses it, if he wants to join in the future, he may have to wait until the day when Shado becomes the leader.
Unlike Sinaria, even if it misses this time, as long as it declares to give up the dividends from the Gray Peak Mountains, the countries will probably not refuse.
As for now, if the two countries can take advantage of this Illuminati crisis to join the alliance, they will actually be able to enjoy the dividends from the Gray Peak Mountains by default. It is nothing more than an increase in the initial investment of the alliance countries and the missed snowmelt competition for two sessions. That's all.

…
"How does Advisor Chateau want to investigate? Have you identified any preliminary targets?" the Queen asked.
If the Queen of Tides had asked this question at the beginning, Xia Duo might not have been able to answer, but now, he told the other party quite confidently:
"The target has been initially locked. If possible, please Her Majesty the Queen to control him and we will interrogate him together."
"Who is it?" the queen asked in a deep voice with a solemn face.
At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, she didn't insist on resisting to the end. Judging from the current situation, she thought that there was no need for Xia Duo to lie to her. If he said that he had locked the target, it could probably be confirmed that there was collusion with the Illuminati in the target area.
If she resists to the end, it will be the worst outcome.
Either, as Sha Duo said, the Illuminati conspiracy succeeds and the world is destroyed, or, regardless of whether there is Illuminati or not, it is considered an evil act against the Northland Alliance, and there will be a backlash afterwards.
"That's the red-haired consultant who just left here." Xia Duo said truthfully.
To be honest, he was very surprised by this result. On the way here, he also asked Meira who among the queen's advisers was the most hostile to the land. At that time, Meira was talking about an adviser named Solintas.
But Solintas was not among those two advisers!
Just now, the two advisers were brought by the queen to meet important envoys, and they left obediently as soon as they were told to leave. It is basically certain that those two advisers are most likely to be the queen's confidants.
But it happened to be the red-haired consultant who sent messages one after another after leaving the Palace of Stars, and even sent messages outside Belluno. Shado had been trying to steal authority since he entered Belluno's water elemental realm.
And he did succeed, and the communication spells used by the sea elves are still traditional methods, not the most popular magic network background communication in Netheril today.
The biggest difference between the latter and traditional communication spells is that it is almost impossible to intercept, because it is spread in the form of almost full-frequency broadcast in the background of the magic network.
It seems that it is spread over a wide area, and anyone can take a peek, but in fact, only those who have mastered the communication key can receive it, and others cannot even distinguish the transmission from the background fluctuations of the magic network.
Moreover, once this information is received by the target, there will be immediate feedback from the caster, which ensures communication security to the greatest extent. ()
