Chapter 1846: Negotiations Stalled, the Wuweilun Mystery

Surveying a Mythallar Node is not an extremely difficult task in itself, but the fact that the surveyor must ponder how to specifically dismantle the node makes it very mentally taxing.

In reality, a normal Mythallar does not set up many nodes; it is generally controlled to within ten, and the fewer, the better.

Those Mythallars without Material Nodes are usually also called the "highest achievement of Mythallar craft," and Evereska clearly hasn't even touched the edge of that.

But on the other hand, having many nodes does not mean the Mythallar is not powerful; it just means it has more flaws compared to a Mythallar with few nodes.

During the actual survey process, Xia Duo often sighed that only a sanctuary like Evereska, with refugees constantly pouring in, could produce such a bizarre, bloated Mythallar.

If it were any other place, they wouldn't have expanded the Mythallar to dozens of nodes while still using it, or even planning to continue using it—how dim-witted would that be!

……

While surveying with Spellcasting, Xia Duo asked casually: "By the way, Saijisi, what stage has the negotiation with the Five Kingdoms reached?"

Regarding Xia Duo's question, Saijisi did not feel anything was wrong; on the contrary, not caring would be what's wrong! It's just that he didn't know the answer to this question either; these past few days, he had been fully devoted to the Old Mythallar survey and New Mythallar design.

"I'll ask Katunidede for you, or you can ask him yourself."

"Then you'd better ask him for me; I don't know if he is busy right now."

"It doesn't matter, we are companions now; no matter how busy he is, he will answer you. I'll ask this time!"

Saijisi knew that Asuosi had just joined the covenant and was not yet very familiar with the other companions, which was why he had such worries, but in reality, this was not a problem at all; after getting along for a long time, one would naturally know.

For Spellcasters to contact each other, as long as both sides trust each other and are not in a special environment at the same time, it is generally very convenient.

After just a moment of Sending, Saijisi told Xia Duo with a heavy expression: "The negotiation over there is still ongoing, and progress is quite unfavorable. The Five Kingdoms want too much, and Katunidede can only choose to trace the specific investments of the Five Kingdoms."

"Would that be too rigid?"

"There's no other way. If we just counter-offered, we would fall into the trap they set in advance. If we don't thoroughly clarify the relevant investments, it might be a hidden danger in the future."

Saijisi's answer did not exceed Xia Duo's expectations, but now that the independence of Evereska had been put on the agenda, yet when it came to actual affairs, they were still haggling with the Five Kingdoms like this—so when would they be able to dismantle the Old Mythallar and build the New Mythallar?

He couldn't just wait here for decades or a century!

Xia Duo decided to do something. After thinking for a moment, he directly sent a message to Saijisi: "If Evereska helps one of the Five Kingdoms resolve a major crisis, could we get them to turn to supporting us openly and positively?"

"A major crisis?"

Saijisi immediately widened his eyes. "Do you know something? This is no joke. If you get it wrong, you might push them to the opposite side instead."

Regarding the matter of independence, even if Saijisi was not responsible for the specific affairs of negotiating with the Five Kingdoms, he knew that Evereska could not take risks or play tricks on this. All decisions and all actions must be upright and stand up to scrutiny; otherwise, there would be no need to wait for years—there would be trouble right now.

"I don't have absolute certainty about a major crisis, but I have seen with my own eyes that a Spellcaster is systematically targeting a certain kingdom!"

What Xia Duo was talking about was the situation he had detected in a tavern on his first day arriving in Evereska. At that time, an Elf was persuading another Elf to participate in an action targeting the Crown King's Library of Wuweilun.

Thinking further, the Wuweilun of the Main Plane suddenly fell—at around this time, perhaps a little later—and it might be related to this action.

If it were unrelated, one could also claim it was related to prophecy; if Wuweilun used this to re-prophesy, perhaps some clues could be found.

Xia Duo spoke as if it were a serious matter, but Saijisi remained very calm and asked Xia Duo: "Are you talking about Siluwende infiltrating Jielunsita, or the Elven Court investigating Wuweilun?"

"Hmm?"

Xia Duo immediately knew that he had probably underestimated Evereska. To be able to build a nation independently while surrounded by various kingdoms, they should at least not be ignorant of the outside situation, not to mention that those two Elves were discussing it right in Evereska.

It's just that according to Saijisi, it was the Elven Court investigating Wuweilun, and they might even be the mastermind behind the future fall of Wuweilun, but why would that be?

Wuweilun did not have much to do with Aryvandaar, or if there was a connection, it was as a victim. Wuweilun inherited the legacy of Maiyelita, and the initial establishment of Evereska was also related to Maiyelita.

Thinking this way, Xia Duo asked again: "Then does the Elven Court have the intention to destroy Wuweilun?"

"How could that be? The Elven Court just wants to investigate the truth behind the abnormal deaths of the previous generations of Wuweilun Crown Kings. Even if the current Crown King really has some problems, it has nothing to do with Wuweilun."

"I see!"

Xia Duo already knew in the 【Projection Plane: Cormanthor Birth】 that the Crown Kings of the generations before Wuweilun's destruction seemed to have not met a good end. This was indeed very strange, but in that Projection Plane, Wuweilun was long gone, and even some survivors knew nothing.

The survivors only knew that meteorites suddenly fell from the sky at that time, and then the country was destroyed. The vast majority of Spellcasters died in that natural disaster, including High Mages, and there were very few survivors.

And in this Projection Plane, Wuweilun had not yet perished, and Saijisi said that the Elven Court was only preparing to investigate the truth of the deaths of the past generations of Wuweilun Crown Kings, which had nothing to do with the destruction of the country.

For a moment, Xia Duo didn't know whether that natural disaster was caused by the Wuweilun Crown King, the Elven Court, or the Elves who coveted the Wuweilun Crown King's Library?

"By the way, do you know if there are Elves planning to plot against the Wuweilun Crown King's Library?"

"I seem to have heard of it, but it hasn't been confirmed. There is too much news like this. Isn't the Yintewa Library known for possessing all the Knowledge of the Elves? It's normal to be coveted. Did you find conclusive evidence?"

Just as Xia Duo was about to speak, Saijisi sighed and said: "Actually, Spellcasters are caught sneaking into or breaking into the library in Wuweilun almost every day, but the punishments they receive are not severe. Even if you can provide clues to find a certain Elf plotting against the library, it is unlikely that Wuweilun will make concessions in the negotiations with Evereska because of this."

These words directly blocked what Xia Duo wanted to say next, but he still wouldn't give up, because the Wuweilun of the Main Plane really did perish suddenly, and there were different Projection Planes as references.

In this Projection Plane, there is a high probability that there will be a similar crisis. Even if it doesn't lead to its destruction, the risk of destruction is enough to be called a "major crisis."

If he could find conclusive clues in this regard, perhaps he could make Wuweilun make concessions.
