Chapter 2508: Xia Duo

"I should have told you all two days ago, but at that time, the Tower of Time was filled with indignation, and on the other hand, the preparations for the ritual were not yet complete. I have come now to tell you that the ritual can be performed at any time. As for the investigation team—"

Yinaole paused, but did not hide anything, "The investigation team tracked the traces of magic energy, following them all the way to Yierlan, but unfortunately, the trail went cold there."

"But regardless, under the witness of representatives from various countries, the investigation team has confirmed that this matter was the work of a Demon Descendant. As for Yierlan—although I know you may find it hard to accept, I must say, they are very likely victims as well."

Whether Yierlan was a victim was something Saville did not actually care about; he only cared about finding a definite target to be held responsible for this matter. Although he supported Niya's revenge, he did not want Niya to wallow in hatred and recklessly expand the target of her vengeance.

"We will discuss this internally, and afterwards—"

Saville was about to say something more when his body suddenly shook, and he said almost word for word: "Niya has come out of the Laboratory. You all wait a moment, I will be right back!"

After saying this, Saville disappeared before the three of them.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the top-floor Study of the Tower of Time.

Xia Duo watched Saville leave Hengchun Square, said "I'll leave it to you" to Niya, and then vanished directly from this Study.

With no body of Xia Duo at Hengchun Square and one less Portal, such an important place would surely be monitored by people from the Tower of Time, but right now, only Yinaole and the other two were at the statue where Xia Duo's body was sealed.

As soon as Niya arrived, she threw herself beside Xia Duo, used a spell to support Xia Duo, leaned her face against Xia Duo's chest, and kept calling Xia Duo's name in a low, hurried voice.

"I don't know, regardless, it is their own choice. If I were you, I would be more concerned about the success or failure of the Restoration Ritual at this time. After all, there has never been a precedent for a Radiant Priest and a Death Priest to preside over a ritual together in the past."

At that moment, whether it was Yinaole, Badijiaer, or Dien, all realized the severity of the problem. The three of them retreated in unison away from the direction of Xia Duo's statue. In the process, they did not forget to send messages to Yierlan and even all the members of the Tower of Time they knew, informing them of the change here.

"Master Yinaole, what kind of decision do you think the Tower of Time will ultimately make?"

Yinaole and the other two noticed the changes in the surrounding Magic Net, but did not react, instead continuing to check Xia Duo's status until Huo En arrived, at which point they handed Xia Duo over to Huo En.

"Sigh—"

Because they were inside the Floating City, the Academy Five-Person Committee did not have the Permission Level to use War Spells, so after receiving the news, they immediately closed the Portals leading outside and simultaneously lowered the prohibition spell integrated into the Mythallar at Hengchun Square.

Yierlan then directly asked Yinaole, "What exactly happened? I only left for a moment and such a change occurred."

Yierlan's departure filled Badijiaer's heart with worry. He was not sure what reaction Lady Niya would have after knowing the current situation. Although the Tower of Time had already made the worst preparations, if possible, who would want to be dragged into a war at this critical moment of great development!

Yinaole and the other two looked at each other, seeing the excitement in each other's eyes. At this moment, Badijiaer could not care about avoiding suspicion and immediately stepped forward to check Xia Duo's status.

And most importantly, Yinaole and the other two were all Great Arcanists; even if Yinaole was Xia Duo's teacher, arriving in person was not a good choice.

"It's a bit risky, but it's the only way. Unless Lord Xia Duo can be saved, war is almost inevitable. Even if it's delayed for a few days, what difference would it make?"

Badijiaer did not respond to Yinaole's concern about the success rate of the Restoration Ritual, because he actually did not have much confidence either. As Badijiaer said, having a Radiant Priest and a Death Priest preside over the ritual simultaneously was something Netheril had never had before.

But now, the obsidian statue was fading, turning bit by bit into a grayish-white texture, then becoming increasingly translucent. In the process, Xia Duo's body gradually became prominent and clearer.

But whether it was sending messages or Tower of Time members rushing over, none were as fast as the rate of change of Xia Duo's statue. Almost just as Dien discovered the change in the statue and the three of them subconsciously retreated half a step, the statue had already almost completely lost its form, becoming brighter and brighter, as if the time and space around Xia Duo's body were completely merging with the normal time and space.

After a while, the people from the Tower of Time arrived late. Although the Academy Five-Person Committee controlled part of the Permission Level of the Floating City, they still did not have the Permission Level to teleport at will inside.

It was impossible to really wait until the Restoration Ritual to "come back to life"; that would be too disrespectful to the two priests and the gods they represented.

After Huo En received Xia Duo, he retreated a distance before issuing a question: "What exactly did you do? Why did the seal on his body disappear?"

Although Xia Duo did not know much about the progress of the Northland Alliance investigation team, he had always been paying attention to everyone who came to the Floating City.

Under these circumstances, Xia Duo's body lost all support and naturally slumped to the ground without question, but the next moment, a faint groan came from Xia Duo's body.

Hengchun Square.

Yinaole's explanation could not convince Huo En, but before he could continue questioning, Niya and Yierlan, who had also received the news, rushed over.

"The seal on Xia Duo's body suddenly lifted on its own. However, I think this should be a good thing. I just discovered the aura of a soul on him; perhaps it was some kind of contingency he left behind before." "We didn't do anything, but after our inspection, we speculate that it might be that Xia Duo left behind some contingency that is currently guiding his revival."

【Xiaoxiang App search "Spring Gift" for new users to get 500 book coins, old users get 200 book coins】 But what would happen if priests of both were to preside over the ritual simultaneously, no one could predict.

Yinaole did not react at first, but then he realized that Dien was talking about the sealed body Xia Duo left behind after being attacked.

"Xia Duo? What's wrong?"

The Lord of the End of All Things and the Radiant Lord were not in a hostile relationship; in some sense, they were even allies. The Lord of the End of All Things did not have a dedicated Temple, and the vast majority of her priests lived within the Temple of the Radiant Lord.

"The seal is lifted? Or did some accident happen?"

He immediately turned to look at the center of Hengchun Square. Originally, Xia Duo's body and the surrounding time and space were frozen, looking like a perfect obsidian statue from the outside.

【Currently the most comprehensive and best-to-use app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 timbres, and a source-switching artifact that supports offline reading, source-switching app】

So he could only let Niya come out of seclusion early, which happened to draw Yierlan away, leaving only Badijiaer, Dien, and Yinaole to witness his revival.

The two sighed in unison. Just then, Dien suddenly started shouting stutteringly, "Look, look, Xia Duo!"

Huo En and Yinaole immediately followed.

When he heard Badijiaer say that the Tower of Time had invited both Benniditas and Kate over, he knew that the timing for his awakening had arrived; after all, he wasn't really dead.
