Chapter 1465: A Little Rapping on the Knuckles, New Oracle

Of course, by comparison, Weilanse was more inclined toward the latter!

After hearing Weilanse's explanation, Xierdalanna inexplicably felt it was somewhat laughable; Faluo had sold Weilanse out just to seek reconciliation with Netheril.

To a certain extent, this even overturned the impression Faluo had left in her heart.

Originally, in Xierdalanna's impression, Faluo had always appeared as an elder who kept the big picture in mind, but now, could this be what is called "for the sake of the big picture"?

Of course, this was merely Weilanse's one-sided story; Xierdalanna had not known much about Weilanse before and could not be certain that the other party was definitely telling the truth.

But to be able to frame Faluo in such a way, the possibility of lying was not high.

Xierdalanna already believed it at least fifty percent, but even if she believed it completely, it was impossible for her to go up against Faluo for the sake of Weilanse, let alone the fact that this matter might also be related to the new god of Netheril!

Perhaps she wouldn't have before, but after hearing the other party's explanation, she certainly shouldn't now.

But a blunt refusal was not the tradition of the Elves; Xierdalanna only mentioned it tactfully, "This matter is somewhat complicated, let me go back and consider it!"

"Alright!"

Weilanse's expression was somewhat dim, but he did not say anything more; instead, he rose and walked toward the next High Mage.

……

Watching the other party's slightly desolate back, Xierdalanna could not help but shake her head; after refusing, she realized that her own mood had just been influenced by Weilanse.

In reality, neither the Yilisier Mianwang of Cormanthor nor Faluo would allow a High Mage who was originally supposed to be in their own camp to receive such treatment.

Perhaps some behavior of Weilanse's had annoyed them, and this was just a little rapping on the knuckles.

Of course, it was also possible that Cormanthor was using Weilanse to test them, these foreign High Mages.

Thinking of this, Xierdalanna suddenly felt a chill in her heart; the current Elven Court had become less and less like the Elven Court, perhaps the next gathering could be moved to Evereska!

……

Not long after, Faluo arrived, bringing the latest Oracle from the main god.

Not only that, even the Yilisier Mianwang had specially sent an Envoy so that he could obtain the specific information of the Oracle at the first opportunity.

On a flat, emerald-green meadow that even emitted faint points of light.

Faluo displayed to the public a mass of emerald-green radiance that complemented the grass beneath their feet, yet the Oracle light mass emitted an endless sense of peace and healing.

Upon closer contemplation, it also seemed to be filled with a feeling of majesty and protection.

"Lest you say I am over-interpreting or distorting the original intention of the main god, this time I will say nothing; you shall perceive and interpret it yourselves!"

Then, the High Mages present stepped forward one by one to perceive the Oracle.

Before long, it was Xierdalanna's turn; she was long since no stranger to the will of the main god, but it was the first time she had directly perceived it without a Priest interpreting it first, as was the case today.

She tentatively extended her Perception, and the moment it made contact, Xierdalanna felt countless pieces of information crashing into her consciousness.

And within this endless information, she seemed to see a future scene composed of countless pictures and images, and she even saw herself within it.

"Is this the primal Oracle?"

Although this Oracle was filled with a large amount of information, it still pointed to a relatively clear main direction; even though Xierdalanna was not skilled at interpreting Oracles, it was not difficult for her to arrive at an interpretation that she herself agreed with.

After contemplating it carefully for a while, Xierdalanna, like the other Elves, retreated in silence, doing her best not to influence the other Elves' perception and interpretation of the Oracle.

……

After all the Elves on the emerald meadow had perceived the Oracle one by one, Faluo then put away that mass of emerald radiance and said to the group of superiors from the Northern Elf Kingdoms:

"The Oracle is as such; I presume you all have your own understandings. Now, let me explain it once more—"

"The main god has shown us His perception and prediction of the future, in which it is clearly stated that the current future and the previously prophesied future have already shown obvious changes, perhaps caused by our various actions."

"The current future destiny tends more toward being favorable to the Elves. In order to avoid interference, the main god requires the suspension of all previous actions; He needs to re-measure the direction of the future and find the true turning point of destiny."

After Faluo finished speaking, the other Elven Mages also shared their own understandings of the Oracle, including Xierdalanna, though she concealed one important piece of information—

In the future image displayed by the Oracle, she saw herself appear in a great hall filled with humans, and the person located in the main seat was none other than Xia Duo!

Only, she in the image seemed timid and submissive, as if begging for something, while the surrounding humans did not give her any good looks, except for Xia Duo.

"Could it be that one day I will actually go and beg a human?"

Xierdalanna laughed at herself; the branches of the future are infinite, who could guarantee that what one sees will definitely happen!

However, combined with Faluo's interpretation of the Oracle, Xierdalanna became even more firm in her thought that "Xia Duo is the Fate Messenger."

Perhaps some special changes had occurred to the other party recently, which had caused the direction of the future to shift.

And the possibility she worried about most, that "the Oracle would become the source of war," perhaps no longer existed.

……

Seventon.

In front of the Council building, a lavishly dressed Moon Elf appeared out of nowhere, but he did not go in; instead, he lingered and paced outside, as if unable to make up his mind.

It was not until a clerk inside received news and came out to check that the Elf seemed to have made up his mind and walked in with his head held high.

Half a day later, a piece of news spread from the Seventon Council, instantly breaking the peace that had lasted for months in Seventon; within a few days, the news had spread almost throughout all of Seventon.

Even Xia Duo, who had been traveling back and forth between his Laboratory and his residence, had heard of it. The day he arrived at the Laboratory, Luowei said to him with an excited face:

"Xia Duo, have you heard? Akaola is going to sign a Common Defense Agreement with us!"

"Mm, I heard." Xia Duo nodded.

Actually, Luowei had spoken to him yesterday about the arrival of the Akaola Envoy, and it seemed that the Common Defense Agreement had been mentioned then, but Luowei's expression today seemed to imply that there was more to the agreement.

This piqued some of Xia Duo's interest; as for the so-called "common defense," anyone with a discerning eye could see it—what did Akaola and Netheril have to defend against together? Was there anything other than Cormanthor?

After the establishment of the Northland Alliance, direct wars might be much fewer, but disputes would not necessarily be any fewer, especially with the guarantee of the Northland Alliance covenant, which greatly reduced the probability of misjudgment leading to large-scale war, further fueling the possibility of low-intensity disputes.
