Arcane Lord

Elan, Capea.

In this small town famous for agriculture, Shado met the investigators from Eerlan. The elf leading the team was also familiar to Shado - he had dealt with Filifa during the Metriel incident.

After greeting each other, Shado sighed: "I didn't expect that King Helian Crown would send you!"

"Didn't you come here in person?" Filifa was not surprised by Shado's arrival.

Then, the two sides talked about business. Filifa asked Shado: "Did the Alliance contact you? They said they were going to send observers to investigate together?"

When asking this question, Filifa also carefully observed Shado's expression. When Shado gave a positive answer and mentioned that he had agreed to let the Alliance send observers, he was relieved slightly.

"Yerlan has agreed, so let's wait for them here for a while. If consultant Shado is interested, I can also let my people take you to visit the agricultural transformation of Capeya."

"Really? Then I'd like to take a good look!" Considering that it would take some time for the alliance to discuss the observer, Shado agreed to Philipfa's invitation.

The so-called agricultural transformation is actually the project that Yelan is responsible for independently after he and Yelan determined the Elan development plan. Philipfa invited him to visit at this time. Shado felt that there might be two intentions -

One is to show Yelan's effectiveness in protecting Elan. Elan was short of food before, so Yelan transformed their agriculture, which can be regarded as protecting their food security.

The other one is actually related to the choice of this meeting place. Capela's agricultural transformation project has a great impact on Elan.

Yelan may not have discovered the special control of the Illuminati on Elan, but from the fact that the attacks were all key projects of the Elan development plan, it can be inferred that the attackers are very likely to start with other projects in the plan.

When heading to the Capella Agricultural Transformation Demonstration Area, Xia Duo noticed a large number of fully armed Yeerlan soldiers patrolling and guarding the demonstration area, which shows that the Yeerlan side has indeed noticed the security issues of the Elan development plan itself.

Previously, the Yeerlan garrisons were basically in the big cities in the Elan region. Small cities like Capella, which are mainly agricultural, only stationed a mobile team in the suburbs.

Now, the prevention efforts have obviously been improved by more than one level.

"Consultant Xia Duo also saw that the target of the attack just now was very clear, destroying all the magic weapon factory projects in the Elan development plan. In this case, we have to take strict precautions."

"Does the Yeerlan side now suspect the mastermind of this attack? Sir Philipa, can you disclose it?" Xia Duo also took the opportunity to ask.

"What's the inconvenience? This time, consultant Shado also suffered a huge loss. He should know our judgment. At present, our main suspect is the Illuminati! As for why they want to attack the Elan development plan, we haven't figured it out yet."

Filifa looked dignified and serious, and the first impression he gave people was often that he was difficult to get along with, but when facing Shado, Filifa was still quite humble.

"In addition to the Illuminati, we also suspect Zhamdas!" Filifa suddenly said something shocking.

Shado was not surprised by this, because although the Yeerlan side now began to support Kalish, it might not know the true relationship between Kalish and Zhamdas.

In this case, the Yeerlan high-level officials might indeed think that Zhamdas deliberately created such a vicious incident in order to warn them to cooperate with Kalish.

If this is true, then the matter is simple. Zhamdas is such an obvious target for a country. As long as it is confirmed that they did it, the rest is revenge.

But Shado knew that it was unlikely that the attack was done by Zhamdas. Not long ago, he had just met with the leader of Zhamdas' school with the help of the detection spell, and the other party also hoped that the Northland would help deal with Kalish!

At this critical moment, such an attack was suddenly launched. Even if the psychic mage's mind was not normal sometimes, it would not cause everyone to go crazy at the same time.

However, Shado did not tell Filifa about his speculation immediately, but changed the subject and asked why Yerlan suddenly changed his attitude and supported Kalish:

"I am puzzled. Kalish's so-called new artifact plan is so risky that Tevimansa cannot fail to see it. Why did he change his mind in the end? What conditions did Kalish give to allow you to ignore all the people of the Northland, including the people of Yerlan, and make such a decision?"

"Advisor Shado, we can talk about this topic another day and another occasion. Today is really not appropriate." Filifa also wanted to change the subject.

But perhaps he himself was dissatisfied with Yerlan's decision. Filifa's attitude of changing the subject was not firm, and it was obviously hinting to continue asking questions.

So, Shado directly pointed out Kalish's trump card: "Did Kalish promise immortality to the Crown King of Hellion and even the elders of the Council of Elders of Gaoshu?"

Philifa was silent for a while, and then he began to explain as if he realized it belatedly: "Not entirely, the most important thing is that the Crown King and the Council saw hope for further progress in arcane magic in Kalish."

"Is it the so-called resurrection trick?" Shado went further.

This time, Philipa did not answer at all, but asked Shado: "Is this related to today's attack?"

"Yes, of course it is related!"

Shado had promised to help Zamdas to make connections, and at the same time, he could not arouse Kalish's suspicion. If it was other countries that opposed Kalish's new artifact plan, it should not be too difficult as long as they were well protected when they spoke.

But for Yeerlan, who has already got together with Kalish, maybe he just said it, and Yeerlan told Kalish right after, so what's the point of keeping it secret!

So when he noticed that Philipa seemed dissatisfied with Yeerlan's previous decision, Shado decided to reveal the news to Philipa.

It's not that he is 100% sure of his judgment, but there seems to be no other choice. He always has to find a senior executive of Yeerlan to mention it. Unless the other party is willing to let him check his consciousness, how can he be 100% sure that the other party is not colluding with Kalish!

Besides, Shado never promised to Zamdas that Kalish would never find out. He just promised to help as much as possible. Whether it succeeds or not, I believe Zamdas has prepared various plans.

…

So, after taking all kinds of precautions to avoid detection and psychic detection, Shado told Philipa about Zamdas's request for cooperation.

Philipa was silent for a long time, and then hesitantly asked Shado: "Have you cooperated with Zamdas?"

"No, I hope to cooperate with the countries in the North!" Shado said casually.

And even if he is willing to cooperate with Zamdas, or even help smuggle some psychic mages into Everiska, it is not difficult, but if he wants to take action in Everiska, he can't avoid the alliance countries.

As long as Shado wants to stay in the North, he can't ignore the rules of the alliance.
