Arcane Lord

If the Void Warehouse of the Tower of Time can open up the market from the elves first, it may be easier to be accepted when it returns to Netheril. This is the so-called "flowers blooming inside the wall are fragrant outside the wall".

Of course, Xia Duo's purpose is not just to promote the Void Warehouse. This may be the case for Netheril, but for the elves, it is more important to spread the cloud pattern announcement system.

As long as his cloud pattern announcement system is all over the world and he can ensure the stability of the corresponding policies, then in the future prophecy ceremony, he can get a stable timestamp and a specific description of major events!

This kind of bug behavior requires a lot of preparation in the early stage. If it is just his own territory, Xia Duo has already completed it. Considering the severity of the demon problem, he would rather lose some money to at least spread the cloud pattern announcement in the north.

With such a plan in mind, Xia Duo did not implement it immediately. On the one hand, the prophecy ceremony he originally planned was not yet completed, and on the other hand, the Void Warehouse has not been built yet!

If you want to sell services, at least you have to have this kind of service first!

…

Next, Shado made several more predictions, all with the clues being the Kingdom of Elan, but the results were not much different from the previous prediction rituals, not only in terms of the fog incident and the abnormal maze lock incident.

Even the abnormal climate was reflected. Of course, this was when the fog incident occurred. There were also cases where the Kingdom of Elan was the clue but there was no fog incident, and the subsequent war occurred as expected.

In this way, Shado had to make a guess that even he himself did not quite believe -

Not only the fog incident, but also the subsequent climate mutation and maze lock abnormalities may have been caused by the demons. If these aspects were not successful, the demons would probably directly provoke a full-scale war among countries!

Although the latter guess was a bit outrageous, unless the enemies from the other planes invaded, how could there be a large-scale war in the North that even involved Netheril?

The invasion of the other plane is like the invasion of aliens on Earth. Although there is this possibility, generally speaking, it will be ruled out first. Shado did not completely rule it out, but it was obviously not as likely as the demons to cause trouble.

But he really couldn't figure out what the demons had to do to provoke a full-scale war among the countries. As early as half a year ago, the Northern Alliance had set up a new organization to deal with the demon issue. The countries had frequent dialogues, and it was almost impossible for a misjudgment to cause a war.

Even if the demons suddenly controlled the heads of the five major countries, the heads of the five major countries, except for King Yin Lisel of Cormanso, could not have dictatorial power.

Let's talk about Netheril. The head is undoubtedly the speaker of the Seventon Parliament. But such a big thing as starting a war is probably impossible to pass within the Seven Towers at this stage? Not to mention being discussed in the parliament.

Unless Badiga went out to give himself a head, it would still be difficult to trigger a full-scale war.

If the demons really have such a great influence, why not consider directly manipulating the countries so that the demons can appear and operate publicly?

But the infiltration ability of the demons is indeed a very troublesome problem. Perhaps we can study more efficient and powerful means to detect the demons!

The Northern Alliance already has this project, and Xia Duo feels that he needs to pay attention to it. As for himself, he doesn't have any good ideas. It is true that the Red Heart Alliance started with the Demonic Race, but later the demon blood was only used in the army.

The Red Heart Alliance's research in this area is more about how to properly implant or remove the blood, rather than how to detect it. After all, in the Red Heart Alliance, the demonic race is not a taboo, but a symbol of honor.

It's like on Earth, not studying how to identify fugitives, but specializing in how to identify meritorious officials. This is hard to imagine.

Of course, the Red Heart Alliance's research on demon blood far exceeds the main plane. If some of the results are shared with the Northern Alliance, it may also help them improve the means of detecting demonic races.

It's just that Xia Duo has not made up his mind yet. Various signs show that the means of demonic races are also extraordinary. He is worried that upgrading the Northern Alliance will instead help the demonic race's strength.

In addition, other effects of technology diffusion need to be considered.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo suddenly felt a little pessimistic. Perhaps it was because of such and such ideas that the countries in the North could not really unite, and the demonic race was wandering in such a gap.

There may be no resistance to exchanging intelligence and joint actions, but if it comes to technical exchanges, I'm afraid no one would be willing to show their cards first, even if it's for targeting the demons!

"Alas - someone has to take the lead after all!"

After pondering for a moment, Xia Duo decided to provide the Northern Alliance with some research data on demon blood from the Red Heart Alliance. No matter what other countries do, at least he can use the resources of various countries to develop new technologies for the demons based on this part of the data.

If other countries are also willing to open up more technology, perhaps it will be a turning point to deal with the demon crisis!

...

After several rounds of prophecy rituals, although there are still many confusions, these results at least helped Xia Duo make up his mind. He checked the anchoring altar a little bit and confirmed that it was still in normal condition. He finally tried to use the Illuminati as the entry point for the prophecy ritual.

After the fixed process was completed, Xia Duo got several pictures of the streets of various countries as expected, which was roughly the same as the prediction results that the Northern Alliance Demon Intelligence Room had synchronized with various countries.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will make several more predictions about the Illuminati, and what he will ultimately get are just pictures of normal scenes in various countries.

Before each prediction, the Northland Alliance will arrange several action teams. After the prediction screen is confirmed, they will immediately go to the corresponding real-life location to conduct a blockade investigation.

It is conceivable that by doing so, not only will the Illuminati not be caught, it may also alert the enemy.

But it can’t be said that doing this is wrong. It can only be said that the difficulty of investigating and arresting demons is far beyond ordinary people’s imagination!

Xia Duo speculated that it might be the increasingly high-pressure investigation actions of the Northland Alliance that prompted the demon to make a certain decision, which in turn triggered a series of chain reactions such as the Mist Incident.

As for provoking a full-scale war, it is likely to be a desperate move when other means fail.

"If that's the case—"

Xia Duo hesitated for a moment, but then firmed up his belief, "We still have to keep putting pressure on the demons!"

Nowadays, the key to the problem of demon descendants is not whether the demon descendants will really do what they want, but that the grudge has been settled and what the demon descendants are capable of, which makes it difficult for the countries in the north to accept.

The problem of demon descendants in the main plane has developed to this point. Even Xia Duo, who had sympathy for the former demon descendants, had to firmly say no to the current demon descendants.

Whenever possible, we must resolutely treat those demons harmlessly.
