Chapter 2133: Concerns, Buildings in the Clouds

However, obtaining such an identity is not a bad thing for Xia Duo right now. If he has no intention of getting involved in Calimshan's affairs, it would be best to arrive as a private individual and leave as a private individual.

Since he has decided to get involved, possessing such an official Northland Alliance identity provides at least some guarantee for his subsequent actions and safety.

Of course, legitimacy is also a consideration.

Thus, Xia Duo submitted an application to the Northland Alliance right in front of Talafu; this step did not require entrusting the Seven Towers to handle it.

The Northland Alliance has relevant regulations: for big figures such as Great Arcanists or high-level Mages, as long as they appear within another country's territory through legal channels, they will automatically obtain the identity of an Alliance Observer.

It is just that his current situation is somewhat special; he did not appear within another country's territory inside the Northland Alliance, but rather went outside the Northland Alliance, so he still needed to apply.

……

While waiting for confirmation from the Northland Alliance, Xia Duo continued to ask Talafu for his suggestions on actions to take after obtaining the official Northland Alliance identity.

However, this step was much simpler. Talafu's original words were——

"My grandfather is constantly submitting applications for a reinvestigation, but because the previous two investigation results were unfavorable to the Mairide Family, Kaitemier is currently in a state of hesitation."

"Next, the Grand Vizier should arrange a meeting between Lord Xia Duo and the Kaitemier Envoy. At that time, the Grand Vizier will propose inviting a third party to participate in the reinvestigation to restore the truth as much as possible."

"The true truth—this is not only what we hope to see, but also what Kaitemier hopes to see. After all, no one wants to become a knife in someone else's hands."

"At that time, Lord Xia Duo just needs to go with the flow and accept the Grand Vizier's invitation."

"As for the final investigation, we trust Lord Xia Duo. No matter what result is reached, the Mairide Family will accept it calmly."

"I will do my best!"

Involving the fate of a nation, Xia Duo certainly could not make any guarantees to Talafu; doing his best was already the best answer. Then, he asked:

"When will Executive Fahede arrange for me to meet the Kaitemier Envoy?"

"It should be within these two days. This requires Lord Xia Duo to have a suitable official identity."

"I understand."

……

In the following two days, Talafu remained in this temporary palace of Xia Duo's.

If the subsequent investigation goes smoothly, he will naturally return to the Mairide Family; if it does not go well, he will take his family and leave Calimshan with Xia Duo.

As for Xia Duo, on the second day after contacting the Northland Alliance, he received the Northland Alliance's confirmation Document and Identity Card, but the changes in the south still attracted the attention of various countries within the Alliance.

Yinerfalang, Yierlan, and even Keman were all inquiring about the latest developments in Calimshan from him, and Yinaole also sent greetings of concern.

Only on the side of Jilan Tower did Bulundesi repeatedly send messages asking about the recent situation of the Mairide Family. Xia Duo asked Talafu and only then learned that ever since being required to recuse himself by the Grand Emperor, the Mairide Family had cut off contact with Jilan Tower.

The cooperation that was previously underway naturally had no follow-up. This time, Jilan Tower heard about the changes in the south and learned that Xia Duo was in Calimshan, so in their anxiety, they inevitably lost their composure.

And when Xia Duo asked about the content of the cooperation between the Mairide Family and Jilan Tower, Talafu gave an answer that left him somewhat stunned——

"The Mairide Family also doesn't know what Jilan Tower wants to cooperate on. They only want to obtain the results of the Bloodline Domain from our side, but are unwilling to share their own results or discoveries. The cooperation has actually been stuck at the first step. If not for this unexpected event, the family was already prepared to abandon the cooperation with them."

Xia Duo did not think Talafu had any need to lie, but thinking of the attitude of Jilan Tower when they asked him to help bridge the gap initially, he had originally thought both sides would quickly enter the actual cooperation stage!

He did not expect that it would still be stopped at contact, without any further development.

However, Xia Duo could also understand Jilan Tower's concerns. Calimshan's research in the Bloodline Domain is more in-depth, and in many cases, the most important thing in research is not the specific process, but the initial idea or train of thought.

If it were Xia Duo himself, he would also worry that once the Bloodline Sequencing Project was revealed, the Mairide Family would immediately cast him aside and go it alone.

Regarding the cooperation or negotiation between Jilan Tower and the Mairide Family, Xia Duo did not ask too much. The initial question was just asked casually; he was actually also worried about inadvertently revealing some content that should not be revealed.

Although the Bloodline Sequencing Project was first proposed by Jilan Tower, the party most suited for this project and also the biggest beneficiary of this project is Calimshan.

Moreover, the unraveling of the essence of bloodline involves all aspects. Xia Duo has not yet made up his mind whether to use this Calimshan platform to accelerate the Bloodline Sequencing Project. It is better to maintain the status quo for now and wait until his strength and influence are sufficient before doing this.

As for Jilan Tower, letting them research on their own is fine. Through the analysis of the project progress of Asitusi and the others at Jilan Tower, Xia Duo does not believe Jilan Tower has the ability to complete all the projects of the Bloodline Sequencing Project independently in a short time.

……

Except for Bulundesi frequently sending messages to disturb him, Xia Duo had a fairly comfortable time in Kalimu these two days, blowing the sea breeze and drinking wine. If such days could last until the day he left Calimshan, that would be great.

But what should come will come.

Just on the third day after Xia Duo arrived in Kalimu (the capital of Calimshan), he received an invitation from Executive Fahede to attend a banquet at Yungong.

Of course, Xia Duo understood that the banquet was just a pretext; the actual purpose was to let him meet the Kaitemier Envoy and then have him take over the reinvestigation of the Elf Prince assassination incident.

However, he was still very interested in that Yungong floating in the clouds. Now that he finally had the chance to go up, he wanted to see how that was actually achieved.

……

That evening, Xia Duo was chatting with Talafu on the terrace on the third floor of the palace about some topics regarding the Bloodline Domain. Both of them possessed bloodlines related to the wind element, so chatting about it was quite fitting for the occasion.

By the time the moon rose to the center of the sky, two Yungong Envoys drove a whistling gale and descended from the sky, hovering outside the terrace, with several small cyclones swimming around them.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo's heart stirred; he roughly guessed how Yungong flew into the sky.

However, he did not use the transportation tool brought by the Yungong Envoys, but decisively disabled the Walking Ring. Immediately, Bloodline Power surged, causing him to rise into the air naturally.

——【Cloud-Treading】!

The two Yungong Envoys saw this and did not say much, then led the way in front. Before long, Xia Duo saw a palace complex that was more magnificent and spectacular than any palace in the Kalimu Cheng on the ground, stretching for nearly a thousand meters, comparable to a Floating City.

This is Yungong.

It was just that Xia Duo also noticed that among these buildings in the clouds, only the area in the very center was relatively Reality, while the others, even just looking at them with the naked eye, could reveal an obvious sense of illusion.

Sure enough, it is still far inferior to a Floating City!
