Arcane Lord

————It will take about half an hour~~

At first, the negotiation between Jibril and the Elf Knights did not go smoothly. It was only after Sha Duo arrived and threatened to find Yin Lati that the other party's attitude softened. But even so, the team of Elf Knights did not let them enter the Mairead Family. oasis territory.

"Please wait a moment, I need to report to our commander!"

Although it says "please", Elvish language is not a simple written language. It also involves changes in pronunciation, intonation and even various status rhetorical words.

In short, from the perspective of Sha Duo, who is proficient in Elvish language, the Elf captain's words were quite rude, and among the other humans present, he was not the only one who was proficient in Elvish language.

In other words, although others do not know as deeply as he does, they are more or less proficient, especially Jibril, who was sent by Archon Fahd to communicate with the elves. If he is not proficient in the elvish language, wouldn't it be wrong? So incompetent.

However, the attitude of the elves was very important at the moment. With a humiliating smile on his face, Jibril explained to Shado for the elves, as if he was afraid that Shado would ask another person to replace the elves like before.

This is an elf. If he does this, the re-investigation plan will definitely be affected.

What else can Xia Duo say about this? I can only complain to Xavier, "These elves mistake Calimshan for Katemir!"

However, in such a classical era, for the lower class, it is often enough to be passionate and obedient. Rationality is something that only the upper class is qualified to possess.

Even if he was dissatisfied with the special envoy Yin Lati whom Xia Duo met at the Cloud Palace last night, didn't he still agree to Kalinshan's request for re-investigation?

Of course, the reason why the other party did this could not be because of his face, but because he wanted to eliminate doubts as much as possible and did not want to fight an unclear war.

Just as Xia Duo thought, an elf mage was teleported directly after a while. He immediately drove away the group of knights, then walked towards Xia Duo and said in a friendly manner:

"Lord Shado, Lord Yin Lati has arranged for me to come with you to investigate the assassination of the Sith Prince. You can just call me Master Esther."

"Master Esther, nice to meet you."

Xia Duo said a simple hello, and then asked: "I want to go to the scene of the prince's assassination now. Is it convenient?"

"It's convenient, but I have a few requirements that I will mention to you one by one on the way. I hope you can understand."

"Can."

Sha Duo nodded. When Esther saw this, he opened a portal in front of him, and then gestured to him to come in.

Opposite the portal is a road paved with white stone slabs, and there seem to be some tall buildings vaguely visible in the distance. Sha Duo did not cast a spell to detect, but Tarafu secretly sent a message to remind:

"Across the street is a small road on the west side of Sweetwater Plaza."

Xia Duo returned a look of understanding, and then led Savile calmly into the portal. He and Savile were both incarnations, so they were not afraid of an elf ambush.

In fact, although Sweetwater Square has been taken over by the elves, it is impossible for Calimshan to let the elves occupy a piece of land out of thin air. There are also Calimshan scholars there, including many bloodline controllers.

If a fight really breaks out, the elves obviously won't be able to take any advantage, let alone Xia Duo's usual practice of locking the floating city in advance.

As long as the lock is not released within a certain time, no matter what is there, use [Light of Annihilation] to fire a few shots.

…

After passing through the portal, Esther immediately reminded Shado: "When we get here, we will try our best to cooperate with your investigation, but there are two requirements. Lord Shado please try to abide by them."

"Master Esther, you said——"

"First, any spell targeting the prince's assassination scene or related clues must be told to us in advance, and we can only cast it after we agree."

"That's no problem." Xia Duo agreed readily. He could completely understand this. The elf was worried that the scene or witnesses and evidence would be contaminated, thus cutting off possible clues.

Starting from this request, Sha Duo can probably guess what other requests Esther will make next.

“Second, any unique on-site elements or other relevant clues must be cast with our consent, and I must also participate in the execution.

"For this reason, if some of Lord Shado's unique spells are involved, Katemir will make compensation. I hope Lord Shado can understand."

This request was similar to what Xia Duo had thought of, but he didn't expect that the other party would promise compensation, so he nodded and agreed, and at the same time made his own request:

"Since I am leading the investigation, I hope you will not have any reservations on issues related to this incident, and do not interfere in the direction of my investigation. Otherwise, you will make a misjudgment, which will involve two parties." A tragedy for countless people in this country!”

Ester obviously didn't expect that Xia Duo would also make a request, but after thinking about it for a few seconds, he agreed.

…

Soon, the trail came to the end, and we arrived at Tianshui Square, which was as pure white as jade and exuded a gleaming glow in the sun.

As soon as he arrived here, Shado felt a sense of tense atmosphere. On the south side of the square was a camp surrounded by the breeze, with Calimshan warriors patrolling and monitoring the area above and below the ground.

The north side of the square has become the territory of the elves. Only the middle area is shrouded in a stagnant field. No one controls it, but every party is extremely vigilant about it.

At this time, Tarafu secretly sent a message again, "That was the scene where the Elf Prince was assassinated. After what happened, the Elf immediately took control of the scene and imposed eternal stasis on that area under the watchful eyes of my grandfather."

Shado didn't know Calishan, and the two parties communicated in Elvish. The rich semantics of Elvish made him immediately understand what the so-called "scene" included -

Except for the area itself, anyone or anything in that area at that time was stagnant!

"and you--"

"It was a projection of consciousness that was outside at that time. After the main body was imprisoned, my grandfather created this incarnation for me."

Sha Duo had not thought about this before, but now that Tarafu said this, he realized that the other party's body did not seem to be flesh and blood, but the product of elemental mimicry.

It should be a technology similar to ectoplasmic projection. Xia Duo will keep this discovery in mind for the time being. The most important thing at the moment is to complete the investigation first.

…

Perhaps because he had said hello in advance, when Xia Duo went to the center of the square this time, he was not blocked by either north or south. When he got closer, he saw a stasis field that was almost integrated with the ground at close range.

If you only look at it with the naked eye, you can only see a field of almost pure white light. Only through special detection spells can you "see" the general situation in the stasis field.
