Chapter 1946: Persuasion, Decency
Elves have always valued tradition and family, not to mention in a special country like Siluwende, where the spirits of all citizens have been artificially distorted; family has, to a great extent, become the sole faith for the vast majority of Siluwende Elves.
If he could not ensure the safety of his family, then even if Leijia were to die, he would not stand on the same side as the Ekrix Secret Society.
And as for this problem, how could Kelusi, who had long planned everything in detail, not have prepared for it!
"I have already arranged for organization members to be near your home; once the time for the plan arrives, they will be able to bring them out to reunite with you."
"Of course, if you wish for the process of reuniting with your family to be smoother, you can give us some tokens that can quickly gain their trust."
Hearing that Kelusi had already arranged everything for him so clearly, Leijia could not help but have the thought that "perhaps the other party really can succeed."
It was just unclear whether this thought was self-consolation or the reality of the situation!
But with the situation as it was, he had no choice but to comply, "I am willing to join you, is that enough?"
"Welcome to the fold; once we complete the contract ritual, we will be companions!"
Kelusi opened his arms and gave Leijia a heavy hug; the hard armor pressed against Leijia's chest, making him very uncomfortable, but Kelusi's enthusiasm and strength made it difficult for him to break free, much like the predicament he currently found himself in.
At the same time, in different locations, events similar to the one at the Ailan suburban manor were occurring; the protagonists of these events were mostly Siluwende Participating Elders, with a few being high-level Mages of the country.
It was just that the results were not all the same.
Some were eliminated directly as soon as the protagonists entered the designated area; some were temporarily captured; and others, like Leijia, were invited to join the Ekrix Secret Society.
And all these events had one thing in common: the application of War Magic Artifacts and a plan execution process that perfectly matched expectations.
Unknowingly, a near-earth-shattering upheaval had occurred within the internal forces of Siluwende.
Meanwhile, on the other side, in Kemansuoer.
As some details of the incident regarding the kidnapping of Prince Saier spread, Faluo's days in Kemansuoer became increasingly difficult; every day, visitors, whether familiar or strange, came to probe for news and test whether he had any connection to this matter.
Although he had not yet waited for a summons from the Yilisier Mianwang, Faluo was already unable to sit still.
This day, he suddenly received a Sending from an old friend, who told him that one of the demands in the negotiations between the Netherese and Kemansuoer was to hand over the remaining Nether Scrolls, as well as the participants from back then.
Upon hearing this news, Faluo could no longer sit still; due to his special status as an Agent of the Main God, all factions in Kemansuoer maintained a relatively friendly relationship with him.
Because of this, he knew more about some secrets regarding Prince Saier than others; it was not just that the Yilisier Mianwang valued Prince Saier highly, but even many Upper Families thought highly of Prince Saier.
And now that this incident had implicated the reputation and safety of Prince Saier, Faluo was very worried about being betrayed; the biggest reason was naturally because the other side of the incident—Netheril—did not have Prince Saier as their true target, but rather the so-called Nether Scrolls.
And those Nether Scrolls had always been kept in his hands, and he was also one of the participants from back then; although the initiator at the beginning was actually the Mianwang himself, the Mianwang immediately retreated behind the scenes once he expressed his participation.
Now Netheril had found a set of Betis Secret Scrolls from Prince Saier and used this to demand the remaining secret scrolls and the participants from back then.
Although the Netherese side was not clear about it, Faluo knew very well that he was already in a very passive position.
Even if the Yilisier Mianwang did not hand him over, as long as a little information about him was revealed, Netheril might take the initiative to act.
They dared to move against even Prince Saier, so they would not care about moving against one more seemingly unremarkable high-level Mage.
Under these circumstances, the Main God might not necessarily be able to protect him, even if he was one of the Agents of the Main God; after all, this status of Agent was actually self-proclaimed by him, and the Main God simply had not refused.
But as a high-level Mage, as long as Faluo was willing to keep hiding, he could mostly still remain concealed; therefore, at this moment, he was actually not that afraid of the threat from Netheril.
What he was truly worried about was that seemingly upright but actually black-bellied Yilisier Mianwang; in order to preserve the reputation of Prince Saier and even Kemansuoer, the other party might not refrain from choosing to silence him.
Of course, "silencing" here did not equal complete annihilation; for a high-level Mage, wanting to die completely was not an easy thing, let alone for an Agent of a Main God.
Even if the living Yilisier had great power, he still had to consider the afterlife; if he acted too excessively while alive, he might be held to account after death.
But for Faluo, even just being banished from the Main Plane was not something easy to accept; he still had many unfulfilled wishes and unfinished undertakings in the Main Plane!
After struggling internally for a long time, Faluo finally decided to test the Yilisier Mianwang; no matter what the final result was, he believed he could always get a decent ending.
After making full preparations, he took the initiative to go to the Tower of Governance to meet the Mianwang.
After a secret talk that was unknown to the outside world, Faluo walked out of the Tower of Governance again.
Recalling the process of meeting with the Mianwang just now, and looking at the blue sky above, Faluo truly felt a sense of relief.
The reason he was able to walk out of the Tower of Governance was not because of his status, or because the Mianwang had suddenly become senile, but because the incident of Prince Saier being kidnapped happened too suddenly.
With the Mianwang's Consultant linking this matter to the "Netheril will have changes" prophecy of the Main God from before, Kemansuoer had already basically determined that the result of that prophecy was more inclined to be positive for the Elves.
Although Faluo did not agree with this, this argument was favorable to him, and it ultimately led to the outcome that he did not become a discarded pawn, so he reluctantly accepted it.
After leaving the Tower of Governance, Faluo did not go back immediately, but stood in the square in front of the Tower of Governance, checked his recent communications, and then selectively released some news—
"Do not look for me anymore; I have already placed the Betis Secret Scrolls in the Tower of Governance; if you have needs, you can apply to the Mianwang."
After replying to several messages in succession, Faluo then left; next, he chose to disappear for a period of time and make plans after the incident subsided.
Besides this, he also needed to explain to the Main God about handing over the Betis Secret Scrolls to the Mianwang just now.
He would just take this opportunity to go to the A Fanduo Homeland; it would not only show respect to the Main God but also temporarily get rid of the miscellaneous trifles of the Main Plane.
Not long after, there was not a single Elf in Kemansuoer who could contact Faluo, including the family he belonged to.
