Arcane Lord

As long as the Illuminati does not make any big moves next, Osmanthus will be willing to keep it a secret for him and arrange a secret visit to the Star Library for him. After all, their goals are very consistent, that is, to destroy the Illuminati.

As for the possibility that Osmanthus was suddenly persuaded or controlled by the Illuminati in the two days after he came back, it is not impossible, but it can be almost ignored.

Although Xia Duo does not like variables, he thinks that this level of risk is acceptable.

In addition to this reason, there is another important reference factor for Xia Duo to choose Osmanthus, that is, the advanced reading rights of the Star Library he now has are obtained through Osmanthus.

Although it is not known how the other party did it, it is almost certain that once he uses this authority, Osmanthus will most likely know it.

If the other party finds out that it is not him who is reading, but another person with a hidden identity, misunderstandings will inevitably arise, and it will be troublesome to explain, so Xia Duo simply went directly to Osmanthus.

As for whether Osmanthus can help, Xia Duo has no doubt about this.

Being able to become a country's ambassador abroad and arrange for people to check some information in the library, if there are problems with this, then Osmantus would not have stayed in that position until now.

Just like Tirion, the representative of Netheril in the Alliance, although he does not have the right to vote in the Seventon Council, because of the special nature of his position, he has been given many powers within the parliament.

Including looking up confidential information at all levels, but this search does not necessarily require him to check it personally, but he can authorize others to search on his behalf.

Similarly, there is Shado, who can also authorize others to help him find information, but he himself may not ask in real time whether others are present in person or whether they use agents.

At most, he will regularly check the reading records of the corresponding information to see if there are any illegal operations, or check back after something happens. Generally speaking, he does not need to ask personally.

In the elf world, such operations are everywhere, even more common than Netheril. It's nothing more than whether the relevant authority is afraid of trouble and dares to take responsibility.

The risk is actually very small. If Xia Duo really wants to cause trouble in the Star Library, he will not look for Osmantus, a typical Yeerlan authority.

The advanced reading privileges of the Star Library may be difficult for outsiders to obtain, but it may not be a rare power within Yeerlan.

Those upper families that are not mainstream or even some small and medium-sized families may have such privileges, but Xia Duo is in a hurry now, and other people are not familiar with him, so he found Osmantus.

This is also showing his sincerity to Osmantus to a certain extent, as if to say-look, if I really want to cause trouble, I will definitely not look for you. I come to you because I believe in you, and you should also believe in me!

...

In the end, Osmantus made the decision to agree to help in the time it took to drink a glass of mead. This was not beyond Xia Duo's expectations. He even provided entry permits and advanced reading privileges.

Now it's nothing more than a small favor, so that Xia Duo can hide his identity and enter the Star Library. Even if he doesn't agree to this, if Xia Duo really wants to do something in Yeerlan, can Osmantus still get rid of it?

It's better to arrange it himself, so that Xia Duo won't find other people to make too much noise, adding a little chaos to the already sensitive situation in Tevimansa.

As long as it is handled properly, it can be completely as if Xia Duo has never been to Tevimansa.

Osmantus never thought that Xia Duo had found the hiding place of the Moon Shadow Family, a family involved in the Illuminati that is also wanted at the official level in Yeerlan!

If he knew, he probably wouldn't agree so readily now, but would find a way to persuade Xia Duo to leave Yeerlan, or persuade Xia Duo to hand over the clues he found, and let Yeerlan take over instead.

But there is no if in reality. Although Osmantus has overestimated Xia Duo's ability to act and the results of the investigation, he still failed to touch the real state that Xia Duo has reached.

Now, he just left a sentence "Someone will come to take you to the Starry Library later", and then left quietly.

...

While waiting for Osmantus to send someone in the tavern, Shado also received news from the Envoy Rich and Tirion that the Envoy Ted had arrived in the Underdark.

After learning that Netheril sent high-level priests to the Underdark for field investigation, Danzo attached great importance to it. Not only did he complete all the entry procedures in the shortest time, but he also sent a prince to pick him up in person.

After all, the area where the prototype of the Abyss is located is not so peaceful, but there are a large number of demons entrenched. Danzo just dispersed those demons again, but failed to eliminate them all.

If the priests of Netheril died underground, it would not be so easy to ask Nether to send people next time, and the most important thing is-once this happens, it will greatly delay the purification of the Abyss.

If there is anyone in the main plane who is most reluctant to see the prototype of the Abyss evolve into the real Abyss, it must be Danzo.

The prototype of the abyss is in the Underdark. If it evolves into a real abyss, a large number of demons will rush out of it, and the first to bear the brunt will inevitably be Danzo who is closest to it.

Of course, there are other underground forces that don't want to see this happen, but at present, Danzo has the greatest influence on the surface, and only Danzo is most likely to recruit reinforcements from the surface.

So this time, the god's messenger Ted went to the Underdark, which was a perfect match between the surface and the underground, and Danzo would definitely not regret this decision in the future, because Ted did not just report the investigation in the past, but would personally eliminate the danger of the Abyss.

Even if Danzo was more proactive, Ted might even be willing to help destroy those scattered demons.

Of course, if you only destroy demons in the main plane, you can't touch their essence, unless there are spellcasters who are good at imprisonment to help, and imprison the essence of those demons in their mortal projections.

In this way, destroying demons in the mortal world may be easier than in the outer plane, which will also increase the enthusiasm of the gods to help. After all, if the demons cannot be completely destroyed, the actual grace obtained will be very limited.

It's okay to help out once or twice, but if they respond to the call every time, they may not be so active.

In a darker way, some gods may be more willing to let those demon projections wreak havoc in the mortal world, so that when the situation deteriorates and forms the prototype of the abyss, they can get more grace from the gods.

Of course, Ted is definitely not the kind of god who has been on the verge of corruption.
