Chapter 2026: Midian, Cheap Tools

After sighing, Badijiaer finally remembered the matter Xia Duo had invited him for, so he asked again: "Lord Xia Duo just said that these mysterious spellcasters were found to be Demon Descendants; besides that, were there any other discoveries?"

"Of course there are, otherwise I would not have asked Lord Badijiaer to come and discuss this."

Having said that, Xia Duo reached out and pointed to a Demon Descendant imprisoned in the detention area, and continued: "Look, that one is from Yierlan, and the family is still quite prosperous there. The only fortunate thing is that he is the only Demon Descendant in their family."

Next, Xia Duo pointed to several more Demon Descendants in succession and revealed their true origins and identities. After hearing this, Badijiaer's expression became increasingly serious.

Demon Descendants have infiltrated almost every Elven nation, so what about Netheril?

Being a Demon Descendant is not a race; it is more of a path choice. Elves can choose it, humans can certainly choose it, and even Dwarves, Gnomes, and even Drow can as well.

"I didn't expect it to be this serious? Can't Demon Descendants just get along with us normally?"

Although he said that, Badijiaer knew very well that the Elves would not agree, and the Demon Descendants themselves were shrouded in an unclear and mysterious aura of conspiracy. He dared not be certain what consequences would result from letting Demon Descendants appear or even proliferate.

For the time being, Netheril can only choose to stand on the side of the Elven Nations, clearing and eliminating the infiltration of Demon Descendants in advance to prevent threats that might arise in the future.

"Lord Xia Duo, is there anything else? If it's just this, I think that based on the situation in Yierlan previously, it is not difficult to conclude that all countries have been infiltrated by Demon Descendants!"

"Yes, even the Upper Families of Yierlan can be infiltrated; it is likely that other countries are hard-pressed to escape, and even—"

Xia Duo did not finish his sentence, but Badijiaer understood. Xia Duo was referring to Netheril. As the only major human power in the Northland, it has a decisive influence in the Northland, and the Demon Descendants would not let it go.

It is just unclear who exactly has been infiltrated within the country now!

Badijiaer suddenly felt a bit weary, "If there is any more bad news, just say it all at once!"

"The biggest piece of bad news is that I have finally confirmed that there is indeed a mysterious organization pushing these Demon Descendants behind the scenes, and these Demon Descendants themselves do not belong to this mysterious organization."

Badijiaer could understand the previous part; after all, the Seven Towers had previously sent people to raid a Demon-born Secret Base together with Xia Duo and Xierdalanna.

But how should one understand that the Demon Descendants do not belong to the mysterious organization behind them?

"Could it be that someone is deliberately creating Demon Descendants? What do they want to do? Overturn the order of the Northland?"

Xia Duo shook his head, but he did not know how to speak. From his perspective, it was naturally not difficult to infer that the entire group of Demon Descendants should be divided into two parts: one part belonging to the local Demon Descendants, and the other likely being invaders from a parallel space-time who have mastered advanced technology.

Unfortunately, it is highly probable that the latter are the ones truly in charge among the current group of Demon Descendants.

In the consciousness of these Demon Descendants captured by Siluwende, Xia Duo found an existence called "Midian," which was actually a task center.

These Demon Descendants, who belonged to different countries, usually communicated with each other through Midian, and this time they even accepted a Midian task together—"to buy time for Siluwende even if it means sacrificing oneself when necessary."

These foreign Elves traveled thousands of miles to Siluwende, willing to sacrifice themselves to contribute to the resistance cause of Siluwende; is this the internationalist spirit of the magic world?

It is not impossible.

But having understood the life stories of these Demon Descendants, Xia Duo could only say one thing: if they count as internationalists, then he himself is a saint!

The purpose of these Demon Descendants is very simple and very pure: it is because Midian has mastered the secret method to calm the Bloodline Riot. If they do not receive periodic soothing from the secret method, their bodies will manifest demonic characteristics.

This would not be a big deal, but given the current environment in the Northland, once demonic characteristics are revealed, they are definitely Demon Descendants and are targets that need to be eliminated.

Not only are they unable to protect themselves, but they will also implicate their families.

For those whose entire families have been infiltrated, it is hard to say that it was not the result of the first Demon Descendant in the family giving up on themselves.

Xia Duo told Badijiaer about the situation regarding Midian that he had "interrogated," and suggested: "It is best to notify all countries about this matter as soon as possible. As long as Midian is not eliminated, the threat of the Demon Descendants will always loom large."

As the person who knows Demon Descendants best outside of the Demon Descendants themselves in the Main Plane, Xia Duo is very clear about one point: under normal circumstances, the Magic Energy bloodline does not require any secret method to calm it. As long as one has mastered Magic Energy, one can naturally control the bloodline.

Now that there is a group of Demon Descendants trapped by their bloodlines, it is possible that the initial Transformation Ritual was tampered with by someone, just to make them obedient.

Xia Duo knew about the many hidden dangers of the Demon Descendant Transformation Ritual when he was in the Projection Plane. Besides the fact that the ritual itself is easily tampered with by the host, transforming into a Demon Descendant through a ritual is not the best choice.

The core point of the Magic Energy Magic System is that Magic Energy naturally has the ability of Spell Breaking, and it contains extremely strong personal characteristics. If those who oppose it cannot determine the opponent's Magic Energy characteristics, they will naturally fall into a disadvantage during spell confrontation.

From this perspective, Magic Energy magic has a natural combat advantage.

But conversely, once one's own Magic Energy characteristics are known by others, then one's greatest advantage no longer exists.

The Transformation Ritual is, to a certain extent, a process where the host of the ritual sets the Magic Energy characteristics and Magic Energy password for the person being transformed.

The core technology is in the hands of others; even if nothing extra is done, it is very simple for others to deal with you!

A true Demon Descendant Mage, or rather—a Magic Energy Mage, should start with Magic Energy and create their own Magic Energy with a "password" that only they know.

Furthermore, Xia Duo also speculated that the Magic Energy Magic System should be able to change or customize Magic Energy characteristics at will in the later stages, but this is obviously not something that the few Demon Descendants who occasionally awaken naturally in the Main Plane can do.

And to have a relatively large research team, it is highly probable that it is a mature product of a "parallel space-time."

Xia Duo even guessed that the Demon Descendants of the Main Plane might have long since gone extinct. After all, Demon Descendants were initially just a group of war victims infected by the Abyssal Aura, and they did not have much foundation to research a mature Magic Energy Magic System.

Under the continuous slaughter of mainstream Elven society, even if a small number of bloodlines were passed down, after a long period of continuous slaughter, they should have been wiped out long ago.

That so many can still emerge now only shows that there is external intervention.

The so-called local Demon Descendants are actually just cheap tools casually manufactured by outsiders.

Of course, it is difficult to completely control all local Demon Descendants solely by coercive means; perhaps there are promises of some benefits or prospects, otherwise, if there were really those who were not afraid of death, they would immediately reveal Midian to the public.

Thinking about this, Xia Duo suddenly felt that the Elven Nations might not be completely ignorant of that so-called Midian!

After all, constant suppression of Demon Descendants always yields some clues. Could the Demon-born Secret Base that he and Xierdalanna raided last time be a Midian?

It is a pity that it had already been cleared by the Divine Envoy Taide, otherwise, it might have been possible to find more clues about the Demon Descendants.
