Arcane Lord

After chatting for a moment, Du Mu showed a somewhat uncomfortable look on his face and said to Sha Duo: "Next, I will ask some questions about the previous investigation. If it is convenient, I would like to ask Lord Sha Duo to answer truthfully."

After saying that, a spiritual light popped up from Doum's hand, and then Sha Duo noticed that the small courtyard where the two of them were in was shrouded in an unknown sensory field.

Chateau understood that this should be a fixed process for debriefing, otherwise Doom was also an eyewitness to the Metril incident and one of the leaders of the investigation team. It would be more convenient for Doom to make the report.

Or, if Doom has something unclear, wouldn't it be easier to ask him privately? Why make him make one more trip?

It is obvious that the Northland Alliance wants to learn more detailed incident process through him. In this case, it is not appropriate for Doom to be responsible alone. It will definitely require the cooperation of other personnel, such as recording, judging whether Shado is lying, etc. wait.

The reason why those people did not come forward may also be because of Xia Duo's current status, and he tried his best not to complete the inquiry in a special formal occasion.

…

Next, Doom's tone of voice was obviously different from before, becoming more solemn and formal, and the questions he asked were completely in accordance with the procedures.

Although he had not been angry with Xia Duo beforehand, Xia Duo had come to the archives of the Demon Intelligence Research Laboratory to check information and read many investigation reports and incident records.

Basically, he was very clear about the process. At this moment, the two of them fully explained what happened between the departure of the investigation team from Evereska and its departure from Metril.

It involves some details that should not be disclosed to the outside world, such as the specific operation method of the Lingsi network, the method of contacting the outside world in a blocked independent space, etc.

Chateau only mentioned these briefly. Of course, Doom was very sensible and did not inquire into the details in this regard. Instead, he focused his inquiries mainly on Paris.

Even the process of how Shado communicated with Paris and how he knew Paris's secrets was not delved into, he just confirmed this fact.

The fact that Paris is an Illuminati, and the fact that ritual spells subvert the timeline.

Regarding the ritual spell, Shado had handed over the relevant details to Yeerlan when he was in Metril. Of course, when he left Metril, he also gave a copy to Doum and handed it over to the Northland Alliance.

Only two days have passed, and the Northland Alliance seems to have not yet determined the true effect of the ritual spell.

This gave Xia Duo some speculation. Perhaps one or some of the demons who had hidden in the Northland Alliance intended to obstruct it, but this was just a matter of inaction in the areas they were good at.

If the action is too big, others are not fools.

But even so, it had such a big impact. Xia Duo was previously curious as to why the Northland Alliance still wanted to find him to confirm the details of the incident even though he had handed over the most critical ritual spells!

So when Doom's inquiry ended, Shado also specifically emphasized the importance of studying that ritual spell, and suggested that the Northland Alliance set up a special organization to conduct research.

When the Demon Intelligence Research Laboratory was established, all members should have been inspected, but it was inevitable that there would be omissions, and after such a long time, there might be new infiltrations.

Now the new institution can legitimately conduct another detailed inspection, and as a specialized institution that studies ritual magic, it must have a more stringent regular inspection mechanism than the Demon Intelligence Research Laboratory.

Although this may not completely eliminate the infiltration of demons, it can at least increase the cost of their infiltration and give the Northland Alliance more time to shorten the gap between the two sides in areas involving the timeline.

As long as the research progress of both parties is close, the possibility of the demon trying to subvert the timeline through the ritual will be reduced to the extreme. After all, it is easier to destroy the ritual than to complete it.

…

"Lord Xia Duo, thank you for your cooperation."

Along with Doom's official thanks, a human officer from the Northland Alliance walked in from outside. After bowing to the two of them, he took out an exquisitely carved wooden box.

Doom took the wooden box from the other party and handed it to Shado. At the same time, he explained: "This is the reward for Lord Shado's previous participation in the investigation. It should have been given to the investigation team when they returned to Evereska." But at that time, everyone was eager to rest, so we delayed it. Fortunately, it’s not too late now.”

"Yeah, I'll accept it."

Just the outer packaging is a storage prop, and the things inside can’t be cheaper, right? Xia Duo was actually quite curious about what was inside!

He took the wooden box and opened it casually. As he thought, it was indeed a storage item, but the link object was not a demiplane, but a small dimensional space.

The first thing that caught his eye at this time was a small pile of standard mithril ingots with a side length of about ten centimeters. After just one glance, Xia Duo initially estimated their value - about one hundred thousand gold coins.

Next to the small pile of mithril ingots, there were a dozen gems and a secret spell scroll scattered around.

Almost all of the dozen or so gemstones were of high quality. Even across many layers of space, Xia Duo could feel the elemental energy in them. They were initially estimated to be worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

However, for Shado who owns Mythra, the value of these gems is greatly reduced.

As for the secret magic scroll, Xia Duo took it out and saw that it was a relatively complete supreme inheritance. Compared with the previous ones, the value of this one is difficult to measure directly with gold coins.

For Xia Duo himself, it may only serve as a reference value. But for the elf family that wants to break through the hierarchy, the value of this inheritance is too high.

A conservative estimate would start with one million gold coins.

In fact, it is almost impossible to obtain the supreme inheritance with gold coins alone. In the elf world, there are only a few very limited ways to obtain the supreme inheritance -

Or you have it at home, which is the easiest way to get it.

Either he is extremely talented and very lucky, and is accepted as a student by a high mage.

Finally, the only thing ordinary elves can do is to serve as a dog for a high-ranking family for hundreds or thousands of years. During this process, if a family member is successfully trained by a high-ranking family and becomes a high mage, they may be given inherited.

Inheritance means allowing the next generation to continue learning, closer to a qualification than to specific knowledge itself.

There is no shortage of various relics in the North. As long as you are willing, you can always find some scattered inheritance. But even if an elf obtains it, they will not dare to show it unless they become a high mage at the moment of obtaining the inheritance.

Otherwise, once it is displayed, it may be plundered by the upper-class family through various means.
