Arcane Lord

For a moment, Xia Duo regretted getting involved in such troublesome things. He even suspected that the assassination of the elf prince was a false illusion created by the two countries in order to attack the North because of his participation.

This was not his groundless speculation, but the Northern Alliance had the potential to attract the attention and even vigilance of the South, especially after the Sluvend War, the reputation of the Alliance was further strengthened, and the order of the Alliance was further consolidated.

In addition to the centralized reforms that various countries have begun, a new force is quietly rising in the North. If Xia Duo was the ruler of the South, he would do something.

In international relations, it is normal for the strong to contain the weak. Even within the Northern Alliance, major countries are consciously curbing the development of small countries. Of course, small countries are also uniting to deal with such challenges.

In this case, the Northern Alliance is not only a tool for the game between major powers, but also a reliance for the survival of small countries. Everyone needs this alliance, so how can this alliance not develop rapidly!

If the current situation is really as Xia Duo guessed, it is a conspiracy by the two or even four southern countries to contain the North, then it will be too troublesome.

It doesn't mean that if Xia Duo runs away now, he will be fine. As the saying goes, "You can run away, but you can't run away from the temple." Unless he doesn't stay in the main plane in the future, he is likely to face the common hostility of the four southern countries and the Northern Alliance.

"Difficult! It's really too difficult!" Xia Duo sighed in his heart.

However, the more this happens, the more he has to find the key to breaking the situation, which is the assassination of the elf prince. As long as the origin of the assassin can be found out, he can at least retain the strong backing of the Northern Alliance.

Of course, the premise is that this assassin is not a country in the Northern Alliance.

...

South side of Sweet Water Square, Calimshan Camp.

Xia Duo closed the investigation report and returned it to Scholar Bolin, then turned to Esther and said, "Next, I want to talk to Scholar Bolin alone, and please ask Master Esther to wait outside the camp."

It stands to reason that the elves should not follow him to the Calimshan camp, but Esther still came in. Now the questions that Xia Duo wants to ask may involve Calimshan's secrets.

Perhaps General Hashim, who is currently in charge of the camp, doesn't care, but as an outsider, he still needs to avoid these sensitive points as much as possible. Esther can now be regarded as someone he brought into the camp, and now he has let Esther go out, so that the Calimshan side can't trouble him on this issue.

In response, Esther hesitated for a moment, and there seemed to be a lot of things to say in his eyes, but in the end he turned invisible and left the camp without saying a word.

"Lord Shado, I don't know what you want to talk about?" Bolin asked.

"I want to know what Calimshan's suspicions about the identity of the assassin who assassinated Prince Katemire?"

Originally, Shado wanted to ask about the war situation between Calimshan and the surrounding areas, but considering that Calimshan might conceal something or even deliberately mislead, he didn't ask. He planned to find out through other channels, and the same was true for Katemire.

But if you ask about the origin of the assassin, there will be no problem.

Bolin did not hesitate at all, and did not even ask for the opinion of General Hashim who was still present, and directly answered Shado:

"We have two main suspicions. One is that Katemire directed and acted on his own, intending to provoke a war to gain greater voice in the south;

"The other is Zhamdas, the evil psychic kingdom. Currently, Calimshan is fighting Zhamdas in the Steam Lake area in the east, and is gradually gaining the upper hand. If I can drag Katemire into the water, if I am the decision-maker on the Zhamdas side, I will definitely do it without hesitation."

What a great way to do it without hesitation!

Shado was impressed by Bolin's honesty and shocked by the attitude of the Calimshan upper class towards the war. Of course, it is unrealistic to say that there is no fiction in Bolin's words.

At least he does not think that Calimshan is already in the upper hand in the war with Zhamdas. If this assassination was really planned by Zhamdas, it is possible that there is an idea to completely eliminate Calimshan once and for all!

"Hasn't Katemire always been quite silent? I have heard about it even in the North, why do you think they are going to suddenly make trouble and regain the right to speak in the South? "Shado asked again.

This should be the indirect information obtained from Katemire. Of course, this is not the other channel he thought of at the beginning. Other channels are actually obtained through the Northern Alliance.

Especially in Comanso, there is a permanent portal to Katemire in the capital. If they say they don’t know Katemire, no one will believe it!

At this moment, in response to Shado’s doubts, Bolin revealed another heavy news, "Prince Sith is actually not liked by the contemporary King of Katemire. King Hegnath has been old for a long time, but he has been lingering on the throne and refuses to abdicate. Lord Shado, guess which prince in Katemire has the highest voice to take the throne? "

This can no longer be regarded as a hint, it is a completely naked indication. Shado naturally said: "Could it be the dead Prince Sith?"

"Yes, it's him!"

There was a strange glint in Bolin's eyes, and he seemed to be very interested in talking about the scandals of neighboring countries to outsiders, "The Sith Prince is considered to be the wisest renaissance master in Katemere in the past three thousand years, but the Sith Prince is getting more and more. The more he behaves wisely, the more he will embarrass King Hagnas who is still on the throne!

"It is said that the Sith prince had a quarrel with King Hygnath before he visited Calimshan. Although King Hygnath finally agreed to the prince's mission plan, he did not say that he would not give the prince a surprise!"

"That's it!"

Although the information provided by Bolin has not been verified, Shado does not think it is necessary for the other party to lie because it is easy to verify.

If it is true as Bolin said, Katemere's suspicion of crowning the king is very high, but does the other party really have the courage to bear the reputation of killing his son?

Elf society has always attached great importance to tradition. Fighting and killing each other among relatives is the situation that breaks the traditional bottom line. As long as Katemir dares to do so, Shado can guarantee that once the truth is exposed, the other party will definitely step down.

And this kind of vicious incident in which the prince was killed will definitely be investigated to the end, such as the third investigation that Sha Duo is currently conducting.

As long as it is found that Kate Mill is the envoy to crown the king, even if Kate Mill has completed the centralization reform, the meaning of centralization is the concentration of power, not the concentration of power on a certain master. That is not called centralization, that is called dictatorship.

In Katemere, the power of the crowned king is indeed great, but it is not without checks and balances. Once the bottom line is exceeded, it will be easy to step down. There may be some staunch traditional defenders who will impose physical sanctions on the fallen crowned king.

Similar to the "Chinese riots" that occurred in Xia Duo's hometown in ancient times.
