Chapter 2080: Uninvited Guests, Control

Just as those four uninvited guests were moving rapidly through the Seventon city districts and constantly approaching the Arcane Plaza, Xia Duo noticed them, but the Seville Mythallar, which he thought should have also noticed, showed not the slightest reaction.

Even those Controllers of the Seven Towers on the viewing platform on the north side of the plaza had no reaction at all, so what about Yinaole?

However, at this moment, Xia Duo had no time to send a message to Yinaole to inquire or warn him; those uninvited guests were moving extremely fast, and by the time he noticed them, they had already moved from the Nan Cheng Qu to the vicinity of the Arcane Union, and to the north of the Arcane Union was the Arcane Plaza, the main venue for the Eriwen Ascension Ritual.

Such reckless charging could hardly be explained by accident or impulsiveness; it must be full of malice!

Thus, Xia Duo did not hesitate to summon the Floating City to bring down a Wide-Area Prohibition, but the Floating City was, after all, not on the Main Plane, and even if the distance was close, it was ultimately separated by a Plane.

When the Wide-Area Prohibition descended, those four uninvited guests—or rather, the four areas where the Magic Net String density changed—had already merged into one, and the trend of entanglement and change of the Magic Net Strings inside had already spread rapidly to the surroundings.

At this moment, there was no need to use the Scrying spell of the Floating City; Xia Duo could see with his naked eye from the Arcane Plaza that a spiritual light like a supernova explosion was flashing in the south.

With this level of commotion, he did not need to remind anyone at all; as long as the Spellcasters in the plaza still maintained their Magic Vision, it was impossible for them not to notice.

In fact, in this short moment, Xia Duo had already noticed that the Spellcasters on the viewing platforms around the ritual site were beginning to become panicked.

At the same time, visible spell anomalies caused by intense elemental agitation began to appear in the sky southwest of the plaza; although the time was short, Xia Duo could still feel the subtle changes in the hearts of the onlookers in the plaza.

"Hum—"

Like a low-frequency screech caused by the rapid change of the Magic Net Strings in the air, it started from the southwest corner of the plaza and slid across the entire plaza; everyone who heard it subconsciously covered their ears.

However, in Xia Duo's view, this was not a bad thing, but rather the "belated" Seville Mythallar finally beginning to exert its power.

A large number of Magic Net Strings began to converge in the southwest corner of the plaza, and the myriad changes within seemed to be attempting to "neutralize" the mysterious attack of the uninvited guests by some unknown means.

At the same time, Badijiaer finally stood out, arrived in the sky above the plaza via Short-range Teleportation, and his calm, firm, and incomparably magnificent voice instantly covered the entire venue.

"Everyone stay calm; such despicable tricks cannot block the determination of Netheril to develop and grow, nor can they block the friendship of the people of the various countries in the Northland, and even less can they block the era's trend of cooperation and win-win results!"

"If you want to gain benefits by causing destruction, I cannot control it elsewhere, but in the Northland, in Netheril, I want to tell those clowns: it won't work!"

Badijiaer's righteous speech immediately stabilized the wavering hearts in the plaza, but those few uninvited guests had not yet been resolved, and everything was still an unknown.

However, the Wide-Area Prohibition of Xia Duo's Floating City had already crossed the Plane boundary and arrived at the Main Plane, and immediately separated the area where those uninvited guests were from the outside world.

It was just that such an operation could also be classified as an intruder by the Seville Mythallar, so under the internal and external attack, Xia Duo's spatial separation collapsed after lasting less than a second.

And in this process, he also discovered that the target those uninvited guests were aiming at was actually not Master Eriwen, but the ordinary people who made up the vast majority in the plaza at this moment!

This discovery made him even more angry; such low-class methods of attacking ordinary people were truly contemptible, but this discovery also lowered his suspicion of the Elf.

Many of the Elf's actions might not be called honorable, or simply put, were malicious, but at least they could not do something like openly attacking ordinary people in public.

In the past, when the relationship between Netheril and Keman was bad, the worst form of conflict between the two sides was at most driving Orcs into the other's territory or directly assassinating Spellcasters.

Attacks directly targeting ordinary people were both unnecessary and easily aroused public anger, as well as the opponent's subsequent bottomless imitation.

And for any attack, as long as one was willing to investigate, one could always find some clues, or at least find a relatively clear suspect.

Carrying out such attacks in the name of a country, were they not worried that others would do the same to them? The principle of reciprocal retaliation made sense no matter which world it was placed in!

Thus, a name suddenly rushed into Xia Duo's mind: Demon Descendant.

The Demon Descendant acted without any taboos, and since Eriwen's successful Ascension to Godhood would inevitably have a significant impact on the other side's plan to create a specific historical node, it was not difficult to understand why they came to destroy it.

The Drow were also possible, but the Drow had long since retreated to the depths of the Underdark, and even if they still had power left on the Surface, they could not rashly launch such an attack.

Besides that, there were forces outside the Northland, but the same point remained: as long as it was an orderly organization, they would worry about Netheril's reciprocal retaliation, or even doubled retaliation.

Once the bottom line was lowered, it was very difficult to raise it again.

Just like the Projected Plane Arcane Empire, the bottom line of war was lowered again and again, not only for the enemy but also for their own people, and in the end, it logically led to the Great Extinction.

Xia Duo believed that if the Arcane Empire had the upper hand or the opportunity at that time, they would also have chosen to destroy the Elf without hesitation.

Therefore, this method of attacking ordinary people could basically rule out orderly organizations.

As for terrorist organizations outside the Northland, Xia Duo felt it was also unlikely; terrorist organizations were not fools, they already had enemies locally, so why come and provoke Netheril?

After some thought, Xia Duo almost concluded that it was the Demon Descendant.

Therefore, before receiving authorization from Badijiaer, he summoned the Wide-Area Prohibition again; with the containment of the Seville Mythallar, this time his Wide-Area Prohibition arrived before the attacker's attack took shape.

It was just that this time it was still the same as before, simultaneously being targeted by the Seville Mythallar, and it collapsed again under the internal and external attack.

But during this time of entanglement, Xia Duo had already received the Mythallar Permission sent by Badijiaer, as well as a piece of advice: "If you can catch them alive, it is best to capture them alive."

And this was exactly what Xia Duo hoped for; if he could catch a living Demon Descendant and link them to the newly established Ailan Kingdom, then he would have a reason to directly destroy the other side, or at the very least, force the other side to change their name.

The name Ailan was still a bit too sensitive for him.

With Badijiaer's authorization, the Seville Mythallar was no longer an obstacle, but instead became an aid; after the third summoning of the Wide-Area Prohibition, Xia Duo successfully completed the blockade of the attackers.

So he sent a signal to Badijiaer and Master Eriwen, "The attackers have been controlled, the ritual can continue!"

In fact, the time all this happened was extremely short, and the ritual did not stop at all, but because of the change in the hearts of the people in the plaza, it caused some interference to the ritual.

At this moment, receiving Xia Duo's notification, Badijiaer immediately announced, "The clowns have been resolved, resisting the trend will surely lead to destruction!"
