Arcane Lord

"Isn't it good for the outside world to pay attention?" Hildalanna asked.

This - is wrong!

Xia Duo was immediately alert: "You almost fooled me! You have no evidence to prove that the assassin who assassinated the great elder Ankarita is related to the mysterious organization. You don't even know where the mysterious organization is!"

If Hildalanna really has definite information, wouldn't it be better to disclose it directly? Then you still need to raid some secret base on your own.

"Ms. Hildalanna, if there is no more sincerity, I think we can end this conversation!"

"Lord Xia Duo, since you have done such a thing as assassinating the head of a country, how can you leave evidence so easily? I really have no evidence, but I can be sure that the assassin is definitely related to the mysterious organization."

Sha Duo shook his head, "Obviously this reason does not convince me. Ms. Hildalanna, you should find someone else. I will keep it a secret for you."

After saying that, Xia Duo was about to end the communication. Hildarana finally panicked and said, "Lord Xia Duo, please wait a moment. Let me elaborate on the content."

Sha Duo didn't speak, just looked at the other party quietly to see what other reasons the other party could find. However, at this moment, Hildalanna's eager look made him somewhat trust the other party.

The so-called cost of silence means that after continuous efforts, you don’t want to give up and want to continue to use your efforts in exchange for the results you want. The price Hildalanna paid here is the previously mentioned information, either secret or public.

However, Hildalana's true purpose is unknown. Even if she somewhat believes it, Sha Duo is not prepared to participate in the raid planned by the other party. The delay now is just to make the other party reveal more information.

Why does he look like a scumbag? Inexplicably, Xia Duo's mind is a little wandering.

At this time, Hildalanna had already begun to explain the so-called inside story of the assassination, "Not long ago, Sruvind discovered a secret military fortress from the Arivandar period. It may be that you single-handedly prompted the small country to The alliance made Ankalita's ambitions a little inflated. He actually responded to Sruvind's invitation and prepared to secretly launch the fortress. As a result, you also know that he was assassinated. "

"A secret military fortress from the Arivanda era?"

Xia Duo was horrified. This was simply an alien version of the nuclear arsenal. If it was really obtained by the alliance of small countries headed by Evereska, it might really be able to change the situation in the Northland in one fell swoop.

It’s no wonder that Hildalanna has been unwilling to tell the truth. Now Sluvende is regarded as a vassal state of Yeerlan. The ancient fortress found in Sruwende naturally belongs to Yeerlan.

Although Hildalanna and King Helion are not able to deal with each other, they still have a common topic in the face of Yeerlan's overall interests.

Of course, if it is truly confirmed that the fortress belongs to Ye Erlan, then the conflicts that have been undisclosed in Ye Erlan may be immediately aroused.

Both the reformists who belong to Helion's side and the conservatives who Hildalanna belongs to do not want the fortress to fall into the hands of their opponents, but hope to gain it for themselves.

There will even be some disputes between various high-ranking families within the faction.

Xia Duo learned from the projection plane that there are usually standard war weapons in the military fortresses of Arivanda, which are extremely powerful and can be used as a trump card for a certain family during its decline.

Like Cormanthor, generally speaking, upper-class families either have a stable inheritance of high-ranking mages, or they always hold powerful war weapons in their hands.

If there are neither of these two, then unfortunately, there is a high probability that it will quickly decline under the temptation of other high-ranking families. It will not completely fall into the quagmire, but it will definitely lose its former glory and glory.

What a pity, what a pity!

Gufa

If Hildalanna didn't lie, then it would be too late for Shado to know the news. If he could have known it earlier, he might have been able to find a few helpers to sneak over and steal the fortress.

"Ms. Hildalanna, please continue—"

"After confirming the existence of the fortress, Ye Erlan also sent an investigation team composed of ancient scholars and high mages. One of the scholars belongs to the Yuejiao family."

Hildalanna was extremely proud to have an ancient scholar in her family, even more proud than herself to be a high mage.

"Although I am not a member of the investigation team, in order to protect the family scholar and to obtain information as soon as possible, I quietly followed the investigation team.

"There are other high-ranking mages traveling with us, and our purpose is roughly the same as mine, but we are all hiding in the dark. We only know that we are followed by our peers, but we don't know our specific identities.

"The assassination occurred just one day before the investigation team arrived at the outskirts of the fortress. Although I did not witness the assassination in person, I saw with my own eyes a mage suspected to be from the Yueying family cleaning up the scene."

Speaking of this, Hildalana suddenly raised her head and looked at Shado, "I know you may still doubt it, but I can swear in the name of the Lord of Glory that I am not lying."

Although the elves do not believe in the Lord of Glory, and there is no relevant social punishment mechanism in the country, not all elves are willing to be blacklisted by a god.

When Hildalanna said this, Shado almost believed it, although this still did not change his intention to refuse.

In addition to swearing in the name of the Lord of Glory, Hildalanna also took out a piece of light green paper with fine gold patterns that looked very delicate from the storage device, and showed it to Xia Duo from the front. A passage was scrawled in Elvish—

"It is suspected that the Yueying family mage is cleaning up the scene!"

"What does this mean?" Xia Duo asked doubtfully. In fact, he had already made a vague guess.

Sure enough, Hildalanna confirmed his guess immediately - "This piece of paper suddenly appeared on me, and I have no relevant memory.

"I traced the history of this piece of paper, and it was indeed written by me myself, but even further, I couldn't find any relevant memories, including what was recorded on the paper -

“I have the memory of seeing a suspected Yueying family mage cleaning up the scene!

"Do you know what this means?

"In order to cover up this matter, someone used some extraordinary means to erase the memories of all insiders, or even more horrifyingly, completely erased a certain period of time in the past."

When she said these words, there was a clear trace of panic on Hildalana's face. The memory was about the self. If it could be erased or even modified arbitrarily, it would be a nightmare.

What Hildalanna has experienced, Sha Duo has also experienced. The green vine tribe he saw in the Langas Plain before had its traces completely wiped out!

Not only are there no traces of the scene, but even the traces in the memory are gone.

Only Xia Duo himself still remembers it, but others, including the Gray Eagle Tribe who had conflicts with them, have lost their memories of the Green Vine Tribe.

And not only did he lose those memories, he even created new memories to fill those memory gaps. This method made Xia Duo feel deeply wary even if he just wanted to be unaffected.
