Arcane Lord

But after making the decision, Person still hesitated for two days, and when he was really ready to leave, Isloda appeared in front of him again, this time without warning.

It was as if the other party had been watching him, waiting for him to do something unplanned.

Outside the teleportation hall of Terminos, Isloda looked at Person opposite, whose eyes were somewhat evasive, still with a hint of smile, and asked calmly:

"Person, where do you want to go?"

"I didn't want to go anywhere, I just walked around casually." Person replied subconsciously, but after answering, he blamed himself for his weakness in his heart. Why didn't he dare to say it directly? Does the other party dare to drive him like this because of this in him?

Seemingly seeing Person's thoughts, Isloda took Person aside and comforted: "I know you may have some misunderstandings about the mission I told you before. I mentioned it to the above after I went back last time. I came here specifically to explain this matter to you."

Being taken aside by Isloda, Person was very nervous at first, but after hearing such an explanation, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Isloda continued: "Elan's crackdown on the returning forces is becoming more and more severe. The materials you are asked to help transport this time are very important to them. I hope you will not let them down."

"Why me?" Person suddenly asked.

These words were a bit confusing, but Isloda understood that the other party wanted to ask why Person must be asked to carry out this task, and even the other party wanted to know what happened in the Dawn Secret Palace before?

In this regard, Isloda's eyes became a little deep. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "It's very simple. All of this is guided by fate. The Illuminati sees hope in you."

But what the specific hope was, Isloda did not disclose. This answer did not satisfy Person, but it was enough to shake his mind.

He had not experienced this feeling of being treated as hope for a long time. Although he had vaguely sensed the true content of this statement deep in his heart, he still hesitated.

However, thinking of this strange mission that was arranged in reality, Person asked again: "When will we act? Can you let me have contact with the returning Elan forces?"

"I know you still have doubts. Although I have transformed my bloodline, I am still a Sluvende elf. How could I do something detrimental to Sluvende!"

Isloda pretended to be angry if he talked about this topic again, and then reassured Person again, "There happened to be a leader from the returning forces who came to Sluvende for some business recently, and I can arrange a meeting with you.

"As for the specific time of your mission, it depends on the arrangements from above. After all, it will take time for the above to mobilize supplies. I can only say that it will be soon. Just wait patiently."

After saying that, Isloda was about to leave, but this time it was Person who stopped in front of him and asked the last question: "Why can you appear in Terminos?"

"Why can't I show up in Terminos?" Isloda asked. Only then did he realize how he had aroused Person's vigilance, but it was really not his fault!

"After the Dawn Secret Palace incident, I returned to Terminos. However, my spellcasting ability was affected due to the impact I received during the retreat, so I went through the retirement procedures and temporarily went to other places for treatment and cultivation.

"If you ask this now, I'm afraid you haven't looked for me since you came back! If you had looked for me, you would have known about my retirement, and you wouldn't ask such a question now."

"I thought before—"

"Thought I was dead?"

Isloda smiled, but he was once again afraid of the danger of that experience. It was not easy to hide it from the Northern Alliance. Not to mention a little shrimp like him, even Chen Guang, the guardian of the secret palace, almost couldn't. died.

If the Illuminati hadn't made some arrangements in advance, the Dawn Secret Palace would have been destroyed.

And the destiny guidance he just explained to Person was not entirely an excuse. Regarding the Dawn Secret Palace incident, he had specifically asked his uncle, the Guardian of Dawn.

His uncle's answer was that that incident was a key node that was destined to be completed. The result of resisting destiny would only be worse, but the Illuminati achieved a better result for them——

Although the Dawn Secret Palace was destroyed, a few members of the Secret Palace survived.

In the destiny revealed by the Illuminati, Person occupies a relatively important position. It can be said that if Person had not been contacted and taken to the Secret Palace of Dawn, all this might have ended differently.

Isloda actually doesn't like this neurotic rhetoric about fate, but if he has joined the Illuminati for so long, fate has demonstrated his power many times.

This kind of real and true existence will not cease to exist because he doesn't like it. All he can do is accept it, whether he is willing or not, but under the guidance of the Illuminati, he can try his best to embrace relatively better things. Not a worse fate.

Isloda explained these to Person, in addition to dispelling Person's doubts, she also wanted Person to sincerely accept the Illuminati's invitation and then take the initiative to accept his fate.

…

Tower of Time.

In the study room, Xia Duo let go of the hand that had subconsciously grasped the main body of the brain. The news he had just received from Person through the brain split was a bit too shocking.

If Isloda did not lie, the Illuminati actually knew the news before the Dawn Secret Palace was raided, and even arranged a performance about fate.

Of course, Xia Duo does not believe in fate, or the kind of fate that is determined in advance. He believes that man can defeat nature, that is, the subjective initiative of intelligent creatures can allow them to determine their own destiny.

But for the prophets in the magical world, they may be the group that can be most impressed by the theory of fate. However, prophecy can indeed peek into fate and even determine it.

It's like a lunatic who fantasizes about destroying the world gets the button to launch a nuclear weapon.

Leaving aside the peripheral members of the Illuminati (including the secret temple guardians and secret temple members), the top wise men and the eleven apostles are all prophets, and they all believe in the wise men's Elamite fantasies.

They even try to create these fantasies in the main plane, but they may really have such abilities!

Sometimes Shado feels that the Illuminati's motives are ridiculous, but sometimes he feels that these elves are unfathomable. Just like this time, he learned from Isloda through Person's perspective that there was a lot of conspiracy behind the destruction of the Dawn Secret Palace. Possibly fueled by the Illuminati.

So what is their purpose in doing this? Is it really just to cater to the so-called destiny?

Wouldn't it be easier to save more vitality and lead destiny in the direction they want?
