Arcane Lord

When Shado heard the news about the newly discovered underground passage in Elfaran, all the countries in the alliance had already agreed to send explorers to the passage to investigate.

This time, when he returned to reality, he still did not wait for the entry permit from Representative Ye Erlan, but he no longer cared about it. From the moment he knew that the other party had lost contact after returning to the country, he decided to ignore the so-called entry rules.

Just because his research on the Illuminati's excited state magic weapon was at the threshold of a breakthrough, if he hadn't learned about it from Alan Minos by the way, he wouldn't even bother to ask.

After quickly understanding the actual situation and quickly completing the scheduled verification experiment, Sha Duo once again got into the time acceleration array. He now puts all actions that do not involve practical operations into the time acceleration array to save money. real time.

The price is that his lifespan has been consumed a little more, but it has not yet reached the level that he can sense. In other words, this lifespan is just water.

…

In the time acceleration array, Xia Duo gradually clarified the role of excited state instruments in time-related rituals based on feedback from several practical verification experiments.

If his judgment is correct, there should be far more than one excited state weapon, and together they have the effect of lengthening and slowing down the time-related signals generated by the time-related ritual on the time scale.

This is somewhat similar to the phenomenon of redshift on Earth.

The larger the wavelength and smaller the frequency of light, the smaller the energy is. The delay of time-related signals has a similar effect. The impact that may originally burst out in a short time is spread over a longer time scale. flat.

The actual effect is that the signal strength monitored at a single moment becomes weaker, but the duration will be longer.

At the same time, after in-depth research, Chateau discovered that once this delay effect starts, it cannot be interrupted, otherwise it is very likely to produce an incalculable time-related effect similar to the sudden interruption of water in a water pipe and the sudden generation of huge pressure.

Xia Duo speculated that there was a high probability that a large-scale fog of time and space would occur, and there was also a smaller probability that the ritual would be completed directly or fail.

Therefore, both the Illuminati and the Alliance need to avoid this happening as much as possible.

It's just that what the Illuminati has to do is to make this stretching delay effect last until it ends, while the Alliance needs to eliminate such long-term effects as safely as possible, not just prevent the time-related ritual that is the source.

After learning about these situations, Xia Duo immediately realized two problems. One is that according to the delay characteristics of time-related signals that have been explored so far, the Illuminati may have already started related rituals.

Most likely even before their attack on Elam.

Another problem is that this final decisive battle may be far beyond everyone's imagination. The Alliance has no dissatisfaction with these. It may think that as long as it stops the Illuminati's time-related ritual, it is over. In fact, this is not the case.

Decisions made in this way may be self-defeating. On the other hand, although the Illuminati do not want to see such a situation happen, they are even less likely to expose their shortcomings. Instead, they will use all their strength to compete with the alliance.

And in this way, a struggle in which the information held by both sides is highly asymmetric will most likely lead to the worst result, that is, a double defeat, and both sides will turn the main plane into a mess.

"Fortunately you have me!"

Of course, Shado cannot just sit back and watch the worst happen, but now what he is most worried about has emerged - the Illuminati has mastered a weapon that is powerful enough to threaten the alliance!

Not counting the magic network decay zone created in Elan before, there should be too many coincidences in this, otherwise the Illuminati would not have hidden this method until now.

But now, the Illuminati can voluntarily abandon their plans to cause unimaginable damage to the main plane, or at least the Northland.

That is because the Illuminati are still thinking about their so-called Elam rebirth plan, otherwise they might have started to destroy the world now!

Therefore, in the decisive battle with the Illuminati, you need to pay attention. Before you are 100% or at least relatively sure of eliminating the impact, it is best not to push too hard, lest the other party break the pot and perish together with the Northland.

And this once again made Xia Duo sigh - "Fortunately you have me!"

At this moment, even if he no longer believed in fate, he deeply felt an unprecedented sense of mission, as if the fate of the world was in his hands and was left to his own devices!

But such a mission is undoubtedly very heavy, especially when the Illuminati is still in a passive state.

…

Leaving the time acceleration circle again, Shado learned from Alan Midino about the latest status of the outside world. First of all, it was already July 12th, and two days had passed.

Representative Ye Erlan still did not return to the alliance headquarters, but finally restored contact with the headquarters. As for the entry permit that Shado wanted, someone had been sent to Everesca during Shado's "retreat".

This kind of news makes Xia Duo feel a little relieved. Not every time he comes out, he hears bad news. There is also good news, although such news does not actually provide much emotional value.

In addition, even if there is good news, the bad news cannot disappear. Alan Midino directly told Xia Duo two pieces of bad news this time -

"Danzo discovered a gathering place in the Underdark that was formed by demons scattered after the Drow War. The prototype of the Abyss has even formed there. Currently, the Alliance has sent relevant personnel to investigate and evaluate.

"In addition, the monitoring center of the headquarters has detected time-related signals from various places in the north in the past two days, and has also sent people to investigate, but no members of the Illuminati have been encountered.

"After more than ten times, ordinary field staff have no impact because they can be rotated, but the morale of the mages on the rapid response list has been worn out very quickly. "

Hearing such news, Xia Duo's first reaction was - the Illuminati has made another move!

And judging from the various situations currently encountered by the Northern Alliance, the Illuminati seems to want to make the Alliance run around so that it is unable or even unwilling to take care of their time-related rituals.

But the problems exposed by the Illuminati are also objective reality, such as the underground passage discovered a few days ago and the demon gathering place discovered by Danzo in the past two days. If the Illuminati had not exposed them in advance, when the Alliance discovered them on its own in the future, there might be more serious consequences.

The most serious of these is the demon gathering place. Now the prototype of the Abyss has been formed. If it is delayed, it may form a real Abyss.

By then, a steady stream of demons will pour out of the Abyss, and the number is likely to be so large that most people cannot imagine it. By then, the entire plane will become an Abyss battlefield.

Perhaps the Illuminati also noticed this possibility, so they revealed this situation to the Alliance, hoping that the Alliance would eliminate the hidden dangers, thus avoiding the main plane from becoming an Abyss battlefield, and eliminating such a possibility would also make their time-related rituals smoother, which is simply letting the Alliance do the work.
