Terminos.

It was once one of the central cities of Sluvende. Its name means "boundary stone". Now it has really become the boundary stone between Sluvende and the traitors in the south!

Yes, traitors! Although the establishment of the Kingdom of Elan and even its joining the Northern Alliance have been widely recognized, even by Sluvende himself, the name of traitor is not so easy to wash away.

Even Sluvende's current regime - the original resistance organization [Ekriks Covenant] is consciously shaping such a consensus in the country.

It can be foreseen that even without the intervention of Yeerlan in the future, it will be difficult for these two neighboring countries, which should be blood relatives, to have a relatively friendly relationship.

Shado's perception "walked" on the war-torn streets of Terminus, and vaguely saw the prosperous past projected from the ruins.

And in those residents of Terminus who returned to their hometown, Shado also saw anger, hatred and lingering seeds of fear.

"What a great city!"

Shado lamented the cruelty of the war, but his "pace" did not stop at all, which seemed to indicate that his heart was not shaken by such a tragic situation.

After wandering in the city for a long time, he finally set his sights on an elite mage who was being deployed to repair the city's maze.

Compared with other mages, the one chosen by Shado had a stronger emotional reaction, which was a deep hatred for the southern Elan Kingdom.

In Shado's perception, the emotions of the elves in the city were as obvious as lights at night, and the brightest among the mages was the elite mage called "Persone Karas" by his companions.

And in the conversation with his companions, Persone Karas also showed a more obvious self-importance than other elves, which was a weakness that Shado could exploit.

Out of fear of the mysterious prophecy spell of the Illuminati behind Elan, Shado hoped to leave himself out as much as possible, even if he had to confront the Illuminati in the future, that would be in the future, not now.

This time he came here, just to plant a nail first, and did not want to make any big moves.

...

After learning the other party's current temporary residence from the conversation between Persun Ekaras and his companions, Shado temporarily gave up following Persun Ekaras.

After all, the other party was involved in repairing the maze, and it was possible that he could detect his spying with the help of some ability of the remaining maze.

Although it did not hinder the plan itself much, this kind of accident should be avoided as much as possible.

And by estimating the repair progress of Persun Ekaras and other Sluvend mages, Shado found an inconspicuous natural stone building wreckage on the way Persun Ekaras home.

Then, with the help of the characteristics of the portable space manifesting with consciousness, he took out the [Golden Finger] he had carefully prepared in advance, and threw it into the ruins after a simple debugging.

After that, he was not going to intervene too much, so as not to leave too many traces. Whether Persun Ekaras or any other elf got the [Golden Finger], it would not affect the realization of the final plan.

Of course, if Persun Ekaras got it, it would be even better. This can be regarded as a small game played by Shado and himself.

...

Floating City

The conversation between Shado and Hildalana continued. At this time, they were talking about the steep mountains near Tevimansa and the tall oak trees on the ridges that supported the city.

As his perception was withdrawn, Shado gradually regained his concentration on the conversation. After recalling the memory of the previous conversation between the two sides, he casually said:

"I can't wait to see the miracle Tevimansa on the top of the mountains!"

"As an elf born in Tevimansa, I feel very honored to be called this by Lord Shado, but if we talk about miracles, Lord Shado's floating fortress can be called a miracle."

Seeing that Hildalana finally couldn't help but lead the topic to the floating city, Shado just smiled slightly and didn't respond directly. If we talk about miracles, [Misera] is it, and the floating city is just a shell that carries [Misera].

Now the elves can only see the floating city, but not [Misera]. Of course, Shado can't be generous enough to show the biggest secret of the floating city to the other party.

However, when in Komanso before, Kolani, who was suspected to be the incarnation of the Elf God, seemed to have discovered something, but she was afraid of the certification of the Goddess of Magic, so she did not investigate further.

Shado never forgot this matter. At this moment, when he heard Hilda Lana bring the topic to the floating city, he couldn't help but wonder if the other party had heard some rumors, or got some inspiration from the Elf God.

But no matter what, Shado would not open the floating city to the elves to check it at will. Allowing them to come to the public layer to take a look was already the biggest concession he made.

Now the floating city is called "Floating Fortress" outside, and everything is due to the war spells it carries. Shado does not want to explain that this is actually an extremely ordinary city in his plan. Let the misunderstanding continue and let the elves continue to be afraid!

...

Shado brought the topic back to Tevimansa, which was also a euphemistic expression of refusal. Hilda Lana's expression froze, and the conversation between the two was no longer as harmonious as before.

Of course, to Shado, Hilda Lana had already been used up, and there was no need to continue the conversation. Next, he asked the other party about everything about Tevimansa - public information. Sometimes he even deliberately repeated the previous questions, which made the conversation between the two people more awkward.

If the floating city flies slower, or if Taivi Mansa flies further, Sha Duo himself will not be able to stand the awkward atmosphere. As the floating city gradually approaches Taivi Mansa, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two eases. .

"Lord Shado, since we have arrived at Taivi Mansa, I won't stay any longer. Envoys from King Mian and the Council will come to meet you later. I hope Lord Shado will not forget the previous agreement."

"Don't worry, I won't forget it." Xia Duo said loudly.

The so-called agreement was actually the conditions put forward by Erlan for his entry - he could only move around Taivi Mansa.

In fact, Hildalana didn't need to remind her about this, Sha Duo would do it. After all, he had agreed to it, and his trip was for travel, not to cause trouble.

…

After sending Hildalanna away, Shado began to control the floating city to descend. After a while, when the floating city passed through the boundary locked in the sky by Taivimansa, he received a message from an elf who claimed to be the messenger of the crown king. .

Immediately afterwards, news from the parliamentary messenger arrived.

After Xia Duo opened the public level of the floating city after space transformation to open to invited visitors, a total of four elves were teleported to Hengchun Square on the public level almost invariably.

Among them, there was one envoy from the Crown Prince, and three more came on behalf of the Gaoshu Council of Elders.

From here, Shado also saw that in the recent changes in Yeerlan, King Helien Mian suffered a loss, but still maintained an advantage.
