Arcane Lord

Terminos.

After Elam became independent, this original inland city of Sruvend transformed into a border city confronting Elam.

Although Sruvend had to pinch their noses and admit Elam's independent status because of the alliance, they never wanted to give up on regaining their homeland from top to bottom.

The main body of the current rulers of Sruvend is the past resistance organization [Eclix Contract], which resists Yeerlan's unreasonable aggression, resists the high-handed rule of the country's top leaders, and strives to restore Sruvend's independent status.

Later, the [Ecrikes Contract] absorbed General Cruise who had smuggled into the present from the past, integrated all the resistance forces in Sluvend, and finally took over Slvend after the war.

The attributes of the ruling group destined them to have no dealings with Yeerlan, Elan, and the demons.

Therefore, after Terminos became a border city with Elam, Sluvende quickly squeezed out a large amount of resources and manpower from other places in the country that needed construction and repair to build Terminos into a brand new border fortress.

As for Person, his current official identity is the logistics mage officially established by Terminos. He is responsible for maintaining the civilian magic facilities and equipment in Terminos Fortress, such as street security, monitoring instruments, street lights, projections, and flying disks. etc.

He came home from get off work that day. When he walked to a familiar street corner, he was shocked by a figure walking out of the shadows. Although it had been several days since the last meeting, he had often seen him during this period. Thinking of the other person's existence, I can't help but feel confused, shocked and uneasy.

Although he had noticed the figure, Person's pace home did not stop because of this. Instead, he continued to turn the corner and continued forward, returning to the community where his new home was located.

As soon as he opened the door, the figure he saw on the street corner had appeared in the room. Seeing this scene, Person's mood became more complicated.

On the one hand, he used to think that the other party sacrificed himself to allow him to successfully escape from the alliance's raid, but now it seems that there may be another hidden reason.

On the other hand, although today's demon descendants have been partially accepted by the alliance countries, they are still an unspeakable taboo among the people and in Sluvende. Sluvende's comprehensive testing is far more stringent than any other One country.

After the Dawn Secret Code was breached by the alliance, Person never received any information from the demons for a long time. In addition, after General Cruz came to power, he made many reforms that were beneficial to the bottom class.

This also led him to place his original hopes on General Cruz. He did not think that he would do better than General Cruz. Under the current circumstances, forcing the revolution at the bottom would ultimately harm the people. It will only be the bottom layer.

As a result, Person settled down in peace and became a late-stage mage of Terminos. He originally thought that he might not have any interaction with demons in the future, but he didn't expect that a few days ago, a person he had long considered dead The elf suddenly appeared in front of him, which really broke his long-term peaceful life.

"Isloda, what do you want from me?"

Perhaps Person himself did not realize that there was always an uncontrollable impatience deeply hidden in his emotions when facing the resurrected Isloda.

"Why don't you welcome me? We were still friends back then!"

Isloda joked and walked from the shadows to the light, as if it was the purpose of his trip, "Master Chenguang asked me to ask you again, are you willing to join the Illuminati?"

"Can I say I'm not willing?" Person smiled bitterly. In fact, he had implicitly expressed his resistance to joining the new organization during the last meeting when Chen Guang was present. Unexpectedly, only a few days later, he would be asked again.

No, it should be forced.

The fact that the other party could come and go at will in Terminos shocked him. As a logistics mage with an official establishment, even if his main job was not war-related, he still knew more or less about some of the measures to deal with war here. of.

Person seriously suspects that a high-level executive in Terminos may have turned to the Illuminati. The so-called Illuminati, the existence behind the demons in the past, is still a secret among the people, but for the mages in the official establishment , is not a secret.

Even Person knows the ultimate goal of the Illuminati!

It was also because of this that he resisted and even felt disgusted with joining the Illuminati, because the Illuminati took advantage of the hopes of the underlying elves and what they actually wanted to do was not to change the world, but to destroy it.

Changing the timeline may be a good thing for the Illuminati, but for the normal elves in the current timeline, it is no less than the destruction of the world, and there is no place for them in the new world.

At least to Person himself.

…

"Actually, the Alliance has serious misunderstandings about the Illuminati. Do you know why we are called the Illuminati? Do so many members of the Illuminati believe in that illusory plan to reshape the timeline? No, what we really believe in and truly pursue is the absolute greatness of the Illuminati. A bright future for most lower elves.”

Person didn't know how to refute Isloda's excuse, but at least one thing he knew very well was that Sruvender, under the leadership of General Cruz, was already moving towards what Isloda said. The bright future moves forward.

So why should they bother? Wouldn't it be better to just follow General Cruz?

After all, it’s not just for power!

In Person's view, not all members of the Illuminati may want to reshape the timeline, but most members definitely desire power. No matter what the purpose of their desire for power is, this itself will not change.

"Tell me what you want me to do. Let me say it first. I agree with General Cruz's reforms. If you want to cause trouble in Sluvende, I will definitely report you when I leave!"

"Don't worry, what we asked you to do does not involve Sluvender, and it will not even hurt anyone. Finally, I will tell you a secret. In fact, General Cruise is also our companion!"

"This is impossible!"

Person immediately retorted, "General Cruise was sealed in the Adolfel Fortress because he was hunted by demons. He hated the demons so much. How could he be one of yours!"

"Is there any necessary connection between General Cruise's hatred of demons and his being a member of the Illuminati? If he is not a member of the Illuminati, why would he implement these measures to improve the conditions of the lower class?"

Isloda's words were like a thorn piercing deeply into Person's heart. At this moment, his head was in a daze. He relied on his instinctive intuition to believe that General Cruz was not what he said. Member of the Illuminati.

But he was also unable to refute, and to a certain extent, he even believed that what the other party said was reasonable. After all, rulers like General Cruz who paid attention to the grassroots were indeed very rare in the North.

So, in such a complicated psychological state, Person agreed to Isloda's request without knowing why.
