Chapter 1415: No Threat, Continuing the Experiment
Facing Haidelei's near-interrogative questioning, Xierdalanna suddenly realized she might have miscalculated again; the importance of this matter might far exceed her imagination, and she shouldn't have used such a thing to probe Haidelei at all.
But since she had already revealed part of the information, it was impossible for her to take her words back in front of him, so she could only say vaguely:
"I think the true Fate Messenger might be Xia Duo, not Yiaole."
"Why do you think so? What is the reason? Also, is it a positive fate or a negative fate?" Haidelei continued to press.
Although he felt Xierdalanna was somewhat unreliable, if he could obtain further information, he could fully make his own judgment based on it.
Seeing that she could not bluff her way through, Xierdalanna had no choice but to continue explaining:
"Xia Duo has a deep understanding of Elf culture; if he weren't wearing a human skin, I would almost have thought he was an Elf himself!"
"That's it? Anything else?"
"Isn't that enough? I suspect he might have obtained some kind of lost heritage, which might contain the key to our revival!"
"No, it is far from enough. If we are talking about lost heritage, what the Main God preserves must certainly be more than what Xia Duo has. If a mere few items of heritage could revive the Elves, perhaps the Main God would have brought them out long ago."
Haidelei said with disappointment, but there seemed to be a hint of relief hidden in his words; fortunately, it was impossible to determine the true meaning and direction of the Oracle.
Xierdalanna had thought her judgment would at least make Haidelei acknowledge it somewhat, but she did not expect it to be completely denied, which immediately caused her mindset to shift, and she even overturned her own guess:
"Then could it be that Xia Duo, who has a full understanding of Elves, will threaten us in the future?"
"That is also impossible. With traitors like those from Yierlan, do you think we can still keep many secrets? The Netherese already know enough; one more Xia Duo doesn't make much difference, and one less doesn't either."
Haidelei once again refuted Xierdalanna's statement mercilessly, which made Xierdalanna lose some face, but with the help of Haidelei's rebuttal, she also reorganized her thoughts:
"But you won't deny one point, and that is that the possibility of Xia Duo being the Fate Messenger is greater!"
"I don't deny that. I have met Yiaole before. I can see that as the successor personally chosen by Kangjienio, Yiaole is as cautious and conservative as Kangjienio. Of course, in his position, one must be cautious and conservative. He poses no threat to us."
Haidelei's affirmation made Xierdalanna feel very proud. Just as she was about to speak of her deal with Xia Duo, she suddenly thought of something and closed her mouth in time.
Impersonating a member of the Moon Crown Family to contact Xia Duo was Faluo's plan, but impersonating a member of the Moon Crown Family to cooperate with Xia Duo in smuggling was not within Faluo's authorization.
Even if this matter were beneficial to Yierlan, speaking of it would be a great blow to the dignity of the Moonhorn Family.
Haidelei saw Xierdalanna's hesitant appearance, but he did not believe she could hold much more key information.
"I know about this matter. In the next Omniscience Ritual, I will focus on investigating Xia Duo's secrets."
"I will continue to contact him in order to obtain more Fate Trajectories. Also, regarding Faluo—"
"I understand. I will keep your discovery confidential!"
Afterwards, the two Elves smiled at each other, chatted for a while longer, and then dispersed.
……
Seventon.
After resting for two days, Xia Duo finally received notification from Yiaole that the Independent Arcane Fire Device experiment could continue, but when he arrived at the Laboratory, he only saw Yiaole alone.
Saville and Buluode, who had come to Seventon before, were both absent. It was understandable that Buluode was not there, as Yiaole hadn't called him before, but with Saville absent, Xia Duo was somewhat puzzled.
"Teacher, are you not letting Lord Saville participate in the experiment?"
"He has more important things to do. Buluode is busy developing the Territory. It's just the two of us here," Yiaole explained casually.
"More important things?"
Xia Duo suddenly asked: "Is it because of the Golden Dragon Mage from another Plane who might be tracking us?"
Aside from the Independent Arcane Fire Device, which was the yet-to-be-named Mythallar, the only thing more important he could think of was the Holy Golden Dragon Empire of that Other Plane.
Yiaole nodded, "I can never let that matter go. The trouble Saville caused, let him handle it himself."
It could be seen that Yiaole still trusted Saville quite a bit; Xia Duo's original idea of letting Saville return to the Tower of Time immediately fell through.
The current Saville might be hiding in some corner waiting for the pursuer to arrive!
As long as the existence or non-existence of the pursuer could not be determined for a day, Saville might have to stay outside; this was not much different from being exiled before.
The only difference was that he could be contacted at any time now, and he could be called back to provide support at any time.
……
Yiaole did not talk too much about the topic of Saville, and the two quickly focused their attention on the experiment.
Due to the fully automatic Davy String Preparation Machine, Yiaole's energy was freed up a lot; all he had to do was Link Magic Web for the Daiwei String Components.
Of course, Xia Duo was also doing such work. Compared to Yiaole's ultra-high work efficiency, he was far behind, and he couldn't even keep up with the Daiwei String Components automatically produced by the preparation machine.
There was no help for it; Yiaole had already completed a small portion before, and that workload would have taken seven or eight days to complete in the past.
A single mistake by Xia Duo could make nearly two days of Yiaole's work go to waste; all he could do was be careful and more careful, cautious and more cautious.
Under such circumstances, it was difficult to increase the speed.
Plus, with his identity as a Great Arcanist still hidden, Xia Duo also had to reserve some of his actual workload, which meant he actually had a considerable amount of free time.
And he did not waste this time. An "ignition" experiment was merely to verify a configuration design, and this experiment was almost destined to fail because it still followed Yiaole's previous design, only with an increased number of Arcane Fires, without any essential improvement in the design.
Of course, if there were a huge leap in the quantity of Arcane Fire, it might also bring a qualitative improvement to the entire device; this was the principle of quantitative change leading to qualitative change.
But unfortunately, if the elements of the entire device were not redesigned, it would be difficult to achieve a huge leap in the number of Arcane Fires.
What Xia Duo was doing in his spare time now was designing a brand-new Arcane Fire scheme that had the lowest spatial occupancy rate for Daiwei String Components, so that the number of Arcane Fires in the limited space could reach its maximum.
