Chapter 2415: The Journey to Wuweilun
The reason for doing this is that Xia Duo does not want to leave behind any overly troublesome hidden dangers for Maruente; if he were discovered now, he could fully argue that he did not know and had only inadvertently triggered the verification information for the Original Permission.
Theoretically, this is not impossible, just as if given enough time or enough luck, a monkey could also type out a "Complete Works of Shakespeare" on a computer keyboard.
And if he were not discovered, he could then access that hidden interface and attempt to retrieve the permission; of course, it is also possible that the relevant departments have already noticed but did not alert him, intending to play the long game to catch a big fish.
If that were the case, all Xia Duo could do is act as if they had not discovered him; otherwise, it would be easy to fall into an agnosticism of doubting everything, so he should just continue doing what he was doing.
……
After submitting the application for a portal pass to Wuweilun, Xia Duo waited patiently for a while, and until the application was approved, he did not wait for any Law Enforcers to descend from the sky, so he decided to make a trip to Wuweilun first.
This was originally part of his plan, but he had been busy with research all these years, dragging this plan out again and again; now that he was preparing to leave, he certainly had to complete it before departing.
Moreover, this was also a further probe of his into the relevant departments of the Red Heart Alliance; if there were no problems with this, he could truly retrieve the permission after he returned.
Xia Duo has always been a person with strong execution; not long after receiving the notification that his application was approved, he appeared at the portal hub of the Shoudu.
Finding the direction for Sa Li Si, beside a portal decorated with a silver-white metal frame, a staff member from the portal department under the Executive Council of the Alliance was smiling and nodding in greeting to Xia Shao.
Xia Shao paused for a long time before finally taking action; he first took out a pile of Dragon Madness Secret Scrolls that he had manifested from the Projection Plane from his Personal Space, adding some that he had completed himself to make up a batch—in reality, it was the 91 Dragon Madness Secret Scrolls he currently possessed.
Spellcasting is not as convenient elsewhere as it is here.
"How did it turn out?" Xia Shao asked again.
"It is the Crown King's Chief Advisor, the great Lord Shenuodeer, who has returned from exploring the Eastern World. The Crown King has announced a month of celebrations, which only started yesterday; you have come at just the right time, guest."
Xia Shao had a very strong interest in the legendary Eastern World, not only because it might be the homeland of Easterners, but also because one of the personas he possessed in the Main Plane was that of an Easterner.
In the eyes of the Evereska Alliance nations such as Siluwende, this was a naked betrayal.
This was indeed possible; after all, the life of a neutral country caught between two powerful alliances is the hardest, not to mention that so-called neutral countries like Sa Li Si are actually not well-regarded by the nations of the Evereska Alliance.
"The guest also knows about the Eastern World?" The soldier looked at Xia Shao in surprise, then explained, "This is Lord Shenuodeer's first exploration of the Eastern World."
……
When Xia Shao prepared to pass through, the other party did not suddenly transform into a Law Enforcer to arrest him, but instead thoughtfully reminded him: "Upon arriving in Sa Li Si, please do not mention our specific Magic development situation; apart from that, please enjoy this trip to the fullest."
It was currently night, but Ta Wuweilun Cheng was still brightly lit; Xia Shao noticed that the city seemed to be celebrating something, with fireworks blooming in the sky above the city, and bursts of cheers coming from the streets from time to time.
"How could I possibly know that? But I think in all likelihood it is just like last time, finding nothing; after all, that is the legendary Eastern World!"
The nations of the Evereska Alliance are undoubtedly insistent on tradition, while countries like Sa Li Si, on the basis of adhering to tradition, have introduced quite a lot of the Red Heart Alliance's egalitarian concepts that value the lower classes.
Because the place he emerged from was a portal tower in Sa Li Si, and he was likely on the seventh floor, his field of vision was very broad, and he could almost see at a glance the city architecture that was vastly different from the style of the Red Heart Alliance.
The soldier seemed not to want to delve deeper into this topic and only chatted briefly before saying no more; Xia Shao did not make things difficult for him, but instead turned and went down the portal tower, entering the streets reveling in the dead of night.
A certain wilderness within Sa Li Si.
There is a saying that "heretics are more detestable than infidels," which roughly explains the relationship between the two.
Before long, Xia Shao felt it was about enough; the Time Acceleration Zone had already passed a full ten thousand years. Some of the secret scroll carriers he had made or manifested were already broken beyond repair, but most were still intact. In reality, this was just a genuine "aging" operation, and he had made them stained with the aura of the Sa Li Si soil. The reason he chose this wilderness had no other cause, just that it was a place rarely monitored by the Sa Li Si Mythallar.
"What is the city celebrating? So lively!" Xia Shao pointed to the city nightscape below and in the distance, asking the soldier.
The soldier's answer made Xia Shao suddenly startle; accustomed to using the Chixin Calendar to keep time, he had almost forgotten that the current era was actually only one thousand seven hundred years after the end of the Crown War.
Xia Shao nodded to show he understood, then stepped into the portal; when he walked out from the other side of the portal, he was completely certain that the relevant departments of the Red Heart Alliance should not have noticed his previous actions!
Now seeing the celebratory scene in Ta Wuweilun Cheng, Xia Shao could not help but become interested; being able to make the people of Sa Li Si celebrate on such a large scale was likely also beneficial to the Red Heart Alliance.
Sa Li Si has only been established for a few hundred years!
Xia Shao recalled for a moment; recently he did not seem to have heard any special news coming from the Sa Li Si side. Could it be that they were celebrating that the Red Heart Alliance and the Evereska Alliance could not start a war?
Thinking of this, Xia Shao walked to the edge of the seventh floor of the portal tower. At this time, the soldier on duty there immediately took the initiative to ask: "Guest from the Red Heart Alliance, is there anything you need help with?"
This is the largest city in Sa Li Si, and also their capital, Ta Wuweilun Cheng!
It was just that the Mage Shenuodeer he had learned about from his past life had only been to the Eastern World once and never went again afterward, or more accurately, he had tried to go, but until his death, he was never able to succeed a second time.
More importantly, it was a habitable Plane; if something went wrong with the Main Plane, knowing how to go there was a fallback option worth more than ten thousand gold!
Subsequently, Xia Shao used Magic to sink those 91 Dragon Madness Secret Scrolls into the ground, then continued to use Magic to perform Time Acceleration on the small area where the scrolls were located.
If calculated according to the lifespan of the Mage Shenuodeer in 【Projection Plane · Evereska Independent】, he should be living quite well right now!
Whether it was an original or not, he did not care; after the manifestation process, they were essentially not the originals, and the parts he completed himself were those obtained in the Main Plane. The original was still in someone else's hands, so he could only make one himself.
Thinking of this, Xia Shao asked the soldier again, "This is the Mage Shenuodeer's how-many-eth time exploring the Eastern World?"
