Chapter 1847: Planning and Breakthrough Points
At night, Xia Duo returned to the manor and re-organized his experiences over this period.
First, the Nether Scroll had already been found, and he had already stabilized his position in Evereska; what followed was completing the Floating City Mythallar design and collecting the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll.
As for investigating the Demon Descendant Elves or the Siluwende Ancient Fortress, or any other elven secrets, those could only be considered extra tasks; if they could be completed along the way, then he would do them, but if they were too troublesome, it didn't matter if he didn't.
As for now, although the negotiations between Evereska and the (Projection Plane) Northern Five Kingdoms were not going smoothly, and the dismantling work of the Old Mythallar might not be able to start immediately, this did not affect the New Mythallar project.
Once the survey here was finished and a relatively proper dismantling plan was made, he and Saijisi could devote all their energy to the New Mythallar design.
In fact, the current survey work was not a waste of time for Xia Duo; it was conducive to his more intuitive and in-depth understanding of the Mythallar.
In the past, although he had gained a lot of Mythallar Knowledge, whether in the previous Projection Plane or in the Main Plane, there were almost no opportunities for practice.
Now that there was a High Mage proficient in Mythallar design leading him to quickly delve into the field of the Mythallar, how could it be considered a waste of time!
Everything was proceeding according to plan, even more smoothly than Xia Duo had anticipated before entering the Projection Plane, but now there was a problem that was not very fatal but also very important placed before him—
If the New Mythallar construction project could not be started smoothly, for him, it would mean one less opportunity to actually participate in the construction of a Mythallar, or one less practice opportunity before building a Floating City Mythallar.
For this reason, Xia Duo could be considered to have racked his brains to clear obstacles for Evereska's independence cause.
The current situation was that the Five Kingdoms had already acquiesced to the fact that Evereska was about to become independent, but they could not reach an agreement on specific interest issues.
Just as he told Saijisi during the day, if he could help Wuweilun solve a major crisis, or use the clues of this major crisis as a bargaining chip to obtain the other party's public support, perhaps it could become a starting point to break the deadlock.
In addition, Saijisi mentioned during the day that Siluwende was infiltrating Jielunsita, which was also a point that could be leveraged.
And Xia Duo's "original body" Xilin had a respected status in Shaerwen; as long as he paid a little attention, he could grasp the bottom line of the Sharwen Tree Council's negotiations.
In this way, three of the Five Kingdoms could be settled quickly, as for Akaola and Siluwende.
The latter was clearly not on the same path as the other four kingdoms; as long as Evereska chose its side, it could ignore the threat of Siluwende to a certain extent. Of course, if one wanted to do it beautifully, some compensation should also be given for Siluwende's past investments.
And Akaola, in 【Projection Plane: Cormanthor Birth】, after the fall of Wuweilun, Akaola began a policy of closing the country.
What Xia Duo knew was that it was not only because they were frightened by the sudden fall of Wuweilun, but more importantly, because of their narrow territory and declining national strength, they had no choice but to do so.
Returning to this Projection Plane, if the fall of Wuweilun was an inevitable fate, then the timing was shortly after Evereska's independent founding.
In other words, the current Akaola was almost the weakest among the Northern Five Kingdoms; as long as Evereska promised to help each other after the founding, it should be the easiest one to deal with among the five kingdoms.
The reason why it was still deadlocked now was nothing more than the fact that the other four kingdoms would not let go, and it did not have enough say to express concessions alone.
Sorting it out like this, the situation became much clearer.
Xia Duo did not know much about Siluwende's infiltration of Jielunsita, so he was not prepared to participate much; in this regard, he just needed to remind Ougesi and the others and let them do it.
As for Wuweilun, besides knowing that there was a crisis of national destruction, he actually knew another major event that had occurred in both the Main Plane and 【Projection Plane: Cormanthor Birth】—
The contemporary Wuweilun Crown King Yintewa died in a certain raid on the library; otherwise, why would it be said that the generations of Crown Kings before the fall of Wuweilun did not end well!
And the one who took over the crown after Yintewa was not his offspring, or a new Crown King chosen outside his family, but his student and lover, who became the next Crown King as Yintewa's wife.
Both planes were in this situation, which showed that the historical inertia of this matter was large enough, so in this Projection Plane, perhaps such a result would also appear.
If he could not find clues to the crisis of national destruction, using the prophecy of Yintewa's premature death as a bargaining chip would also be good.
And by comparison, the latter had a much greater possibility of being proven, while the former, whether in 【Projection Plane: Cormanthor Birth】 or the Main Plane, did not have a relatively unified statement.
Everyone said something different, and there were even rumors that it was planned by the last Crown King of Jielunsita, in order to eliminate Wuweilun, the biggest obstacle to the birth of Cormanthor.
Regarding this conspiracy theory, Xia Duo naturally did not believe it himself; the last Crown King of Jielunsita, Ousensi, did indeed have the intention to facilitate the unification of Listar Forest, and even the entire Elf World.
But in that Projection Plane, after becoming the Crown King of Cormanthor, in order to appease the survivors of Wuweilun, he specifically sent High Mages to investigate, and in the end, he could not find any useful clues.
So Xia Duo's idea was to use the prophecy or clue of Yintewa's premature death as a bargaining chip to exchange for Wuweilun's concessions; if this could be verified, he could then inform them of the crisis of national destruction in exchange for their public support.
Open a breach from here and finally complete the negotiations.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo got up and left the Study, coming to the Secret Ritual Chamber located under the bedroom; since purchasing this manor, this was his first time coming here.
But he was not unfamiliar with the Secret Ritual Chamber of an Elf Mage; after entering through a Teleportation Spell, the first thing that caught his eyes were complex patterns composed of gold and Mithril Wire, covering the walls everywhere in the Secret Ritual Chamber.
"Heh, there is still a little inheritance!"
Xia Duo noticed that a pile of sundries was scattered in a corner of the Magic Array under his feet, among which were spices used to boost the spirit and make the spirit more sensitive, and several Spell Notes, one of which was still spread open.
In addition, there were some White Crystal that could stabilize the spirit, and purple Gemstone used for some unknown rituals.
Xia Duo picked up the notes and flipped through them roughly; the original owner was researching a Ritual Spell to restore normal health to elves who were born weak, but judging from the records on the notes, the results might not be very smooth.
Xia Duo collected the sundries on the ground, preparing to have Lakelaisi return them to the original owner after going out, and then he sat on the ground, sitting in the center of the Magic Array.
Xia Duo Perception spread out; although it was not the Netheril Magic System he was most proficient in, the Elven Magic System was not unfamiliar to him, and he very easily mastered the auxiliary Magic Array in the Secret Ritual Chamber.
