Arcane Lord

Shado may have overestimated himself, but in this situation, there seems to be only one explanation, that is, his own existence has restricted Daphne here.

Then can he do more?

For example, "beat" Daphne out of the current state of nothingness, or even go further to catch her.

Although Shado sympathizes with the past experience of the demons in the north, and also understands the resistance launched by the wise men leading the Illuminati, no matter how much he understands, he will not let go of Daphne, who is likely to be a wise man.

While thinking, Shado did not forget to continue to stimulate Daphne with words: "What's the point of you hiding here now? Why not have a good talk!"

"Too late, too late."

Daphne finally appeared, but she did not appear on the bench, but stood in the flowers less than ten steps away from Shado. Starlight escaped from her pupils, but compared with before, it was already many times fainter, and even the veil form could not be maintained.

This was also the first time that Shado saw Daphne's true appearance. Her moon-white skin was like porcelain, and her frowning brows had a different kind of beauty. Of course, what attracted Shado's attention the most was Daphne's eyes.

The emerald green pupils were so vivid that they were still clearly visible even at a distance of several meters!

But this is the characteristic of the wood elves!

In the current Northland, in the elven country dominated by multiple ethnic groups, blood fusion is often seen. For example, the moon elves have a pair of golden pupils, which is the characteristic of the gold elves.

Or, the wood elves with slightly green skin have a pair of silver pupils or blue hair, which is often the characteristic of the moon elves.

But all this has a premise, that is, it is limited to the middle and lower classes. Except for the mixed blood of the gold elves and the moon elves, other mixed bloods are not favored, let alone blessed.

With Daphne's previous identity as the Crown King's Advisor, having the distinctive wood elf bloodline is likely to become the biggest stain on her life.

This may explain why Daphne often appears in the outside world with a veil, but Shado has another guess, which is-

Daphne is probably not the wood elf prophet apprentice of the Moon Shadow Family.

After all, the wood elf prophet apprentice who was said to have kidnapped the only female heir of the Moon Shadow Family was almost definitely a wood elf, not some other elf with wood elf characteristics.

Daphne may be the daughter of that wood elf, and even the granddaughter is possible in terms of time.

If this is the case, then the wise man may just be a title similar to a position, rather than referring to a specific elf.

This also seems to mean that the identity of the wise man implied by Daphne is true. In other words, the wise man, the leader of the Illuminati, and the world-destroying demon who wants to create a new world, is standing not far in front of Shado!

Although all these reasonings are based on speculation, Shado has a hunch that he may have guessed right!

"Even if the world is going to be destroyed in the next moment, it is still not too late to turn back now. This may be tantamount to changing the final fate of destruction, but at least your heart has been redeemed."

In fact, if Daphne is willing to surrender, Shado is willing to plead with the alliance for her, and it is not impossible to hide secretly, but he also knows that people who are engaged in resistance have extremely firm ideals and beliefs.

Unless he can change the world immediately for the other party to see, it is difficult for the other party to be persuaded with a few words, let alone give up the big plan that has been carried out for most of the time or even about to be completed.

And Daphne's next words once again proved Shado's judgment. She really didn't want to surrender--

"No need to say more. I know what I want and what I do. I only ask Consultant Shado, are you ready to bear the consequences of launching a decisive battle?"

"You--" Shado suddenly became as if he was facing a great enemy. Although he was probably sure that his existence restricted some of the other party's behaviors, especially those related to time magic, this did not mean that conventional means could not be used.

Not to mention the time-related ritual designed to create a new world. For this huge ritual spell that has already entered the second half, Shado is not completely sure that he can be exempted.

"Don't be nervous, Advisor Shado, I'm just joking."

Perhaps because she felt that she had the upper hand again, Daphne even made a small joke, but such a joke was not funny at all in Shado's eyes, and the verbal confrontation continued:

"Can your subordinates complete the final ritual without you?"

"Then why are you so sure that I can't leave?" Daphne smiled, and her emerald green pupils were inexplicably creepy in the sun.

Xia Duo frowned and continued to respond: "Then why don't you leave?"

"Why leave?"

As he was talking, Daphne suddenly pretended to listen, with a smile on her face. Then she walked to Xia Duo and sat down on the bench where she had just sat. Without waiting for Xia Duo to speak, she took the initiative to remind him:

"If the alliance is not deliberately hiding it from you, then you will receive the news in a minute at most!"

Daphne's wording made Xia Duo's scalp numb, as if something bad had happened and was just waiting for the alliance to notify him. He hurriedly asked the other party:

"What do you mean? What news will I receive?"

But Daphne just smiled and said nothing. This performance made Sha Duo feel even more uneasy, so he took the initiative to contact Doom who was still in Everesca and asked him about the emergency that had just happened in the alliance.

Doom did not answer immediately, not even an explanation, as if he had never received a summons from Shado.

This is obviously impossible. Sha Duo guessed that Doom was probably tied up by something, and the degree of the tie-up was such that Doom didn't even have time to reply to the message. This made Sha Duo feel deeply worried.

"What went wrong? Are the orcs in Netheril becoming active? Or are the drow coming out of the ground? Or maybe the Archangel Ted discovered the real abyss in the underdark, and even let the people inside The devil came out?"

Apart from these things, Sha Duo really couldn't think of anything else that would make Doum have no time to reply casually. Did Doum not receive his subpoena at all?

But judging from the results of the spell feedback, Doom had 100% received the message.

It's not that Shado thinks too highly of himself, but he can be sure that Doom won't give him the "no reply" attitude. Even if he doesn't know anything, he will at least reply "don't know".

For a moment, Sha Duo was in a state of confusion. Doum's state could almost represent the current state of the Northland Alliance. Doum was tied up by something, which meant that the alliance encountered unprecedented trouble. (End of chapter)
