But what made Shado more concerned about Ogus's summons was that the Council of Elders invited him to attend the celebration two days later.

At that time, the various parliaments in the Northland will send envoys to issue a joint communique with Everriska, publicly and formally expressing their support for Everriska's independence, or it can also be used as a declaration of Everriska's independence.

According to Shado's understanding, there was no such incident in the history of Evereska in the main plane. Although Independence Day was also set up, the origin was completely different from what it is now.

He felt that it was his appearance that caused the changes, or that this was the historical branch of this projection plane.

The celebration two days later is undoubtedly a very important day for any Evriska elf, let alone Shado, who has already completed the covenant ceremony with the elders such as Ogos.

But Shado didn't want to attend the celebration. He felt very embarrassed about the invitation from the Council of Elders. On the one hand, he really should appear, but on the other hand, there would definitely be a high mage from Salvin present on the day of the celebration. He was worried about being recognized by the other party. Schilling incarnate.

An elder of the Salvin Tree Council came to Everriska to support the independence cause while hiding his identity. To the various countries, did Everriska intend to get involved in Everriska-related interests?

In the worst case, Everriska's independence might be disrupted!

The Council of Elders of Evereska will also doubt his purpose.

Even if the covenant ceremony has been completed, the covenant is dead after all. As long as you are willing, you can eventually find a way to bypass or dissolve it.

Even if Ogus and other elders still trust him, it may be difficult for him to come into contact with the Everesca New Mystery Lock Project after the celebration.

With almost no need to think about it, Xia Duo knew that going to the celebration was too risky, but he still needed to think twice about how to refuse.

And before the celebration, there was another trouble waiting for him.

Because with the completion of negotiations, various countries are ready to transfer the relevant authority of the old mystery lock to the representatives of the post-independence Evereska regime, that is, the Council of Elders.

However, the Council of Elders decided to let him and Sergis take over the authority of the Mystery Lock in order to make it easier for him and Sergis to dismantle the old Mystery Lock.

Of course, compared with meeting High Mage Salvin at the celebration, taking over the authority of the Mystery Lock does not necessarily mean meeting a High Mage.

In order to facilitate the inheritance of the myth lock authority, various countries and the local Everriska family that participated in the construction of the old Everriska mystery lock will generally make the mystery lock authority into a key.

Transferring authority means handing over an entity's secret key. Depending on the producer's preference, a common secret key may be in the form of a scepter, a crystal ball, or some jewelry.

If there is no physical key to the mystery lock, it can also be recorded in the form of a spell. If any of the descendants can master the spell, they can regain the authority.

But according to what Shado learned from Sekis, many of those who did not have the authority to make the keys to the mystery locks have been lost or no one controls them.

The funniest thing is that of a small family in the city, whose ancestors also participated in the construction of the Mystic Lock, but the ancestors of that family bound the Mystic Lock power to their bloodline.

Originally, this should be considered a safer approach, but magic talent cannot be inherited, or it may be calculated by a hostile family, and future generations will not be as good as the previous generation.

In the end, not only was it impossible to control the secret lock permissions, but a master node was left without maintenance for a long time and was on the verge of collapse.

If the Council of Elders hadn't taken action, it might have resulted in a tragedy.

Although the inheritance of the authority of the non-physical secret key is very small, it is not impossible. The most important thing is that it can be passed down in this way to this day, which means that every generation will produce at least one senior mage.

For example, the Jinchen Hill that Xia Duo has visited before, the Jinchen family that has lived there for generations is a powerful family with a long history, and the current patriarch is a high-level mage.

However, the Jinchen family has reached an agreement with the Council of Elders and transferred the authority of the mystery lock to the Council of Elders early.

The transfer method is the normal inheritance of ritual spells, not a mysterious key.

After the ceremony, all the spellcasters in Evereska City who have access to the Mystery Lock will probably face a choice, whether to continue to fight against the general trend and surrender their access after being defeated, or to hand it over directly.

If there had not been a joint communiqué of the Northland countries at the ceremony, I am afraid those stubborn guys would have persisted. But now that the Northland countries have publicly supported the independence of Everesca, there is no longer any restraint from the external environment. Internally, it is the Council of Elders who have spoken out. never mind.

I'm afraid it won't end well if I try again.

Xia Duo was looking forward to seeing a tough guy jump out after the ceremony, which might add a bit of fun to his ordinary life.

…

In the afternoon of the same day, Chateau and Sergis received a notice from Katneedt, saying that representatives from various countries were waiting at the Genting Tower for the handover of authority, and asked them to go back quickly.

"Segis, go ahead. I'm going to try to wake up Mira today. It's probably going to be another boring social gathering at the Yunding Tower. You're an elder. Please work harder, and I'll go back first."

Since joining Evriska, Shado has been developing a character that hates meaningless social activities and always appears busy all day long.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The characteristic of Schilling's incarnation that he does not need to rest gives him the capital to make full use of his time. Every minute and every second in the projection plane is real to him in it, and it should not be waste.

As for waking up Mira, Shado was not entirely trying to deal with Sergis. He did have plans in this regard, but Mira's current recovery situation was quite satisfactory, so there was no rush for the time being.

He plans to try Mira's purification plan on other mutants first. If everything goes well, the next step is to try to purify and awaken Mira.

After Xia Duo finished speaking, he was about to return to Athos Manor. Sergis was not surprised when he saw this, he just shook his head and said jokingly:

"Athos, your life is really boring!"

"I enjoy it!"

Xia Duo said with a smile, and then left without looking back.

…

In the evening, Xia Duo, who didn't need to eat or drink, called Mira's mother Chris to the study and asked, "How is Mira's recovery today?"

"Sir, Mira has recognized me, but she is still confused most of the time, and her body -"

Chris didn't say the last words, but the worry in her eyes overflowed unstoppably, and Xia Duo also sighed silently when he saw this.

What is an unreasonable disaster? This is it.

"Don't worry about Mira's health. I said there will be a way, and there will be a way. Your most important task now is to talk to her more and help her regain consciousness as soon as possible."

"yes."
