Chapter 2675: Seizing Permission
The four Elf Mages followed Xia Duo's command, but one Elf raised a question: "But is there enough time? Didn't Dakesi say Palisi is preparing to sacrifice the entire city?"
"Sacrificing the entire city is also just Dakesi's side of the story. We only need to be prepared for that possibility; there is no need for extra concern. Follow the plan to find Palisi, then capture him, and then many problems will no longer be problems."
Although he answered this way in the Spirit Thought Network, Xia Duo could not help but feel a trace of urgency in his heart; the Sacrificial Ritual Dakesi spoke of might be the source of the Mist in the prophecy.
And the Mist is a place where one enters but cannot leave. As Envoy Ruien said before, the Elf citizens of this city are innocent, and if possible, he should try his best to save them.
Not to mention, there are also the two Netherese, Dumu and Sikaote, in the city; this is actually also saving them.
Furthermore, Xia Duo himself does not want to lose such an avatar. Although avatars can be recreated repeatedly and have no material consumption, the process of creating an avatar is not easy.
If possible, he still hopes to be able to preserve this avatar.
……
Thinking this way, Xia Duo's team had already passed through the reconstructed spiral space around the Silver Spire and arrived at the second layer. Of course, the second layer here is not the second floor of the Silver Spire, but the second layer of Metelier.
The Xuan Kong Budao extending from afar looked like an elegant scarf wrapped around the neck of the Silver Spire. Further up, Metelier had even higher layers, but they were no longer connected to the Silver Spire.
……
Moreover, according to Palisi's confession, the Mythallar Permission for the Silver Spire is gathered and held in the hands of the City Lord and the members of the City Council. Xia Duo has now seized part of the permission without receiving any counterattack, which cannot mean that Dakesi's control over the Silver Spire is far lower than I expected when I decided to launch the surprise attack.
It is also not that the Silver Spire's own protection system design is too complex, where any slight modification is easily detected, and that is why it was not controlled by Dakesi.
Not only that, in that process, Xia Duo also took the opportunity to seize part of the Silver Spire's permission. Although it is not enough to contend with the true Controller, it is enough to deal with most situations.
The actions of Dumu and the others are merely a means to contain Dakesi. If it succeeds, of course that is good; if it cannot succeed, as long as his side goes smoothly, then it does not matter.
Because he is very clear that he has a high probability of not passing the Inquiry.
As for himself, he is coordinating all the returned information from the center, analyzing and organizing this information, and forming instructions to send back to the Spellcasting terminals of Tusen, Ouluolin, and others.
Of course, it is also possible that Dakesi was held up by something. After all, most of the council members are currently controlled by him, and those council members are unlikely to all have iron bones; being threatened into handing over permission is also very possible.
He chose to find someone to destroy the Mythallar Node, and it would be much easier for him to intrude afterward. This is a common problem for all Mythallars with nodes. Of course, if everything goes smoothly on the Silver Spire trip, it might not be necessary to reach the step of invading the Mythallar at all.
"Ouluolin, you connect to the 5-ΟΣΔΠΓΣ interface and transmit feedback in real-time within the Spirit Thought Network."
At this moment, that gap is still spewing a large amount of Element Turbulence, even causing the reconstructed space around the tower body to produce some chaos; some environments that do not belong to the current scene have been projected over.
But if there really were a dozen or twenty high-level Mages, that would be pure violent suppression, and there would be no need for such painstaking effort.
Compared to the ground entrance, the entrance on the second layer is in a sense more formal, and about twenty meters or so up the back of the tower from the second-layer entrance is the gap broken open when Palisi escaped.
But even so, he still feels quite strained. After all, this temporarily constructed Spirit Thought Network is really too small. If he were given another dozen or twenty high-level Mages, perhaps then he could handle it with ease.
The nature of intelligent creatures is to be lazy, and Xia Duo is of course no exception, but once they cannot be lazy, intelligent creatures can also erupt with unparalleled potential.
As for the Meteier City Mythallar, it was also originally supposed to be controlled separately by the City Lord and the Council, but for who knows how many years in the past, Dakesi has secretly replaced the Mythallar Nodes, so the vast majority of Mythallar Permission should be in Dakesi's hands.
Even normal permission is not possessed, and one can only use permission related to vulnerabilities to attempt further breakthroughs, and in that process, one is often discovered by the Mythallar Controller.
Combined with the date of the Mist Event in the prophecy, if Palisi's Sacrificial Ritual is the beginning of the Mist Event, then the current situation is a typical case of "there is no time like the present."
"Tusen, connect to the 5-ΞΩΞΔΠ interface and transmit the feedback into the Spirit Thought Network in real-time."
By the same token, if the design is flawed, once a vulnerability is caught, it is basically equivalent to being undefended.
Of course, he himself is also cooperating with the Spellcasting and is also serving as the Guide. It is just that he has a brain-like intelligence to analyze and organize this part of the work in real-time; otherwise, if anyone else were to come, it would be very difficult to be competent.
Of course, this is also thanks to the Silver Spire permission provided by Palisi earlier; otherwise, even if Xia Duo could seize the permission, the time taken could not have been so short.
From this point of view, the possibility of Palisi being a "wolf" has dropped a bit more.
So in this operation, Xia Duo did not try to use normal methods to intrude into a Mythallar that has a Controller; it is not that he cannot, but time does not allow it.
A Mythallar is different. First, there are no obvious vulnerabilities; second, the Mythallar design itself also has a large number of countermeasures and emergency mechanisms. Even if a vulnerability is exploited by an enemy, the enemy cannot directly obtain the highest permission.
After entering the Silver Spire, Xia Duo first closed the entrance, and then began to check the state of the Magic Net inside this Mage Tower to determine if it was affected by the Meteier Mythallar.
……
And Dakesi launching the action, although there may have been a plan beforehand, the specific date should be a temporary decision if there are no surprises, or rather, in today's situation, it had to be exposed.
Instead, it uses another system, which is the Mage Tower's own protection system. It is just smaller in scale and simpler in design, but in terms of protective ability alone, it is not necessarily inferior to a Mythallar.
Because under normal circumstances, as a city Mage Tower that is an important Mythallar Node, in order to facilitate the daily maintenance of the Chief Mage and the Spellcasting experiments of the high-level Mages in the city, there are usually not too many restrictions inside the Mage Tower.
At the same time, Xia Duo commanded Tuleidi and Kuitao to cooperate, directly attacking the Silver Spire entrance on the second layer of Meteier City with violence, coordinating with the probing intrusions of Tusen and Ouluolin.
Very quickly, almost in the blink of an eye, Xia Duo had already found the vulnerabilities in the Silver Spire's protection system, bypassed the first layer of verification through the fictionalized image of Palisi, then infiltrated layer by layer, and before the soldiers below could react and launch an attack, he opened the Silver Spire's main door.
