"According to my speculation, there is a high probability that the mist incident in the prophecy is caused by demons behind it, and there is a small probability that it is an unknown enemy from another plane. And now, Dax, can you tell me which speculation is correct? Woolen cloth?"

Dax did not respond at all to Sha Duo's repeated inquiries, or perhaps his growing vigilance was the best response.

When he heard keywords like "Demon", Dax's consciousness fluctuated greatly, even worse than his previous state of despair, and he involuntarily leaked some subconscious information.

Before, even though he was so desperate and lost, Dax's consciousness was still very well protected. His conscious mind was filled with whispers of despair, but his subconscious was very closed and did not leak out at all.

It was also because of this that Xia Duo was really sure of Dax's suspicion. If it hadn't been for the inspection of the copy of consciousness, he might not have discovered that the desperate and lost look of the other party before was actually somewhat staged.

The despair is real, and the despair is real, but it is definitely not to the extent that can break the will of a high mage.

Perhaps sensing that Sha Duo was suspicious of him, Dax wanted to pretend to be crazy and try to get away with it, but he didn't expect Sha Duo to be so decisive and attack him directly, and then made a copy of his consciousness for interrogation.

The state of consciousness was unable to deceive, which allowed Sha Duo to confirm Dax's suspicion and confirm his decisive action.

As for now, although Dax still refuses to speak, he has little room for resistance as he is only conscious. It is simply that Shado does not want to be contaminated by the consciousness information, which is why his duplicate consciousness can exist.

Directly searching for consciousness requires defeating the consciousness first. There are as many opportunities to try as there are copies. Of course, Dax's body has been knocked down. If the copies of consciousness are not enough, they can be made on the fly.

"Aren't you going to tell me yet? I have just examined you and found that you do not have demon blood. So what are you hiding for the demons? Or do you agree with the Illuminati's ideals from the bottom of your heart and do not hesitate to betray yourself? race?"

When the "Illuminati" was mentioned, Dax's consciousness fluctuated again. It stands to reason that since Dax has not joined the Northland Alliance Demon Intelligence Research Laboratory, it is impossible to know the information about the Illuminati, even the name. .

But he still knew it, which meant that either Dax was a close associate of a big shot in Tevi Mansa, or he had contact with the Illuminati.

Now in this situation, the latter is obviously more likely. After all, if Dax was a confidant of a big shot in Tevi Mansa, he would not conspire with Paris to rebel.

It can be seen that even if you are not transformed into a demon, as long as you are a high mage, you still have the opportunity to come into contact with the Illuminati.

In other words, in a situation like that of the Illuminati, it is almost inevitable to actively attract high-level mages and even offer more favorable conditions. Otherwise, it will only penetrate the middle and lower levels, and the efficiency will be too slow.

If a high-ranking mage is willing to help, that will open a fast track. Not to mention one family, or even the entire city and entire region will believe in the demon. It is not impossible.

"I don't know what the demons told you, but as far as I know, what the Illuminati wants to do is not to let the demons live openly on this land. They have even more crazy ambitions.

"Do you know? They actually want to subvert the timeline of the main plane and make the possibility of demons becoming popular become a reality. By then, not to mention you and me, everything you know about the main plane will be in vain.

"Are you really willing to give up everything for an illusory possibility?"

Maybe these words really touched Dax, or maybe the other party thought that there had never been a precedent for a high mage to be killed in Yeerlan, so he wanted to abandon the darkness and follow the light——

"I don't know, it wasn't like that at first. Paris told me that the ceremony was just to protest to the higher authorities, demanding to retain Metril's autonomy. Who knew that guy lied to me!"

What a pure and flawless white lotus!

But Dax did not realize that he was in an illusion at this time, and the fluctuations of consciousness could not be faked. Sha Duo once again saw the cunning and shrewdness of the elves.

Since the other party is willing to perform, Xia Duo is also happy to accompany the other party to perform. After all, it is an independent copy of consciousness. Even if he does not admit it at all afterwards, he will not have any psychological burden.

This is just an interrogation tactic.

"Let's talk about the demons and the Illuminati. What is your relationship with them? Is Paris a demon?"

"I was coerced. I don't know if Paris is a demon. I only know that he joined the Illuminati and then controlled my family. I had to pretend to cooperate with them, but even so, I didn't expect that Paris Reese was so crazy that he wanted to sacrifice the lives of the entire city, including my family, so I fell out with him.”

In just a few words, he took himself out again. Considering Dax's status as a high mage, if he could survive this incident, it was really possible for him to escape from sanctions!

As for now, it was impossible for Xia Duo not to put any pressure at all, so he said:

"Whether it was coercion or not, you will have your own internal investigation in Ye'erlan in the future. I just want to understand the causes and consequences of this incident and how to solve it properly. I believe you don't want to die here without any explanation, right?

"By the way, I forgot to tell you. I have contacted the outside through special channels. Your crown prince sent his advisors Philifa and Ishtar to deal with the unexpected incident on Metril's side.

"If you want to feel better afterwards, you'd better cooperate now."

Hearing that Shado had made contact with the outside world, a trace of panic flashed in Dax's eyes, but at the same time a glimmer of hope arose in his heart. Perhaps it was possible to destroy the ceremony and allow himself to escape.

"I will definitely cooperate. If there is anything else you want to know, as long as it does not involve Ye Erlan's core interests, I will tell you the truth!"

"I want to know what the sacrifice ceremony you mentioned before is about! I believe you can't fall out with Paris just because he just said he wanted to sacrifice. You must have found some more direct evidence! So! What's the evidence?" Xia Duo asked.

Regarding this question, Dax confessed without any hesitation——

"The evidence is the ritual book that Paris personally handed over to me not long ago. Although I don't understand the purpose of that ritual, it is definitely not the protest card we discussed in advance!

"So I asked him about it. At that time, he personally admitted that the ceremony was used to sacrifice the whole city to open a new world. I realized something was wrong and wanted to escape quietly to report to King Mian and the Parliament. I didn't expect to be noticed by him. I can only break up."

That's it!

Sha Duo suddenly fell into deep thought, so he asked again: "Do you still have that ritual book in your hand?"

"exist."

Dax subconsciously touched his wrist, but then realized that he had lost the ability to cast spells, so he looked at Shado for help and asked tentatively:

"Can you unlock the seal for me? Don't worry, I will definitely not fail to cooperate in this situation."
