Chapter 2680: Suspicion, Expanding the Network

Outside Metelier.

The blue sky-curtain has grown increasingly deep; when Feilifa and his party first arrived here, they could still barely see the blurry scene inside the Mythallar, but now, only a few minutes later, they cannot see the situation inside at all.

"Consultant Feilifa, Lord Xia Duo just sent me a Sending; he said City Lord Palisi's heart is set on rebellion, and he has already begun a ritual suspected to be for sacrifice."

Suddenly hearing such news, Feilifa's heart gave a violent jolt, and he immediately asked, "What is the specific situation inside?"

Regarding this question, Badijiaer did not answer directly, but instead forwarded Xia Duo's Sending to Feilifa exactly as it was, which included the main actions of Xia Duo and the other investigation team members, as well as the predicament they encountered inside the Silver Spire.

After reading all the intelligence, Feilifa was instantly overcome with rage, and right in front of Badijiaer, he cursed bitterly, "Damn Palisi, if he wants to court death, why drag the lives of the entire city with him!"

But after cursing, a huge confusion arose in Feilifa's heart; it was not about the credibility of the intelligence—he believed the Netherese would not play clever tricks on such a matter, especially since there were investigators from other countries inside, and even countless civilians.

What he did not understand was why Palisi would do this? According to his knowledge, the Palisi family had ruled Metelier for nearly a thousand years, and even the name of Metelier was named after the Palisi family.

And with such a long history, it could almost be said to be from the same period as the founding of Yierlan; Feilifa truly could not figure out what benefit Yisita would have in doing so.

Or rather, Yisita doing so had absolutely no benefit at all.

Silver Spire.

……

Xia Shao did not wait idly for a reply from the Trier side, but instead attempted to organize a breakthrough himself; in the end, he still could not bring himself to use the 【Thought Robe】.

Why exactly? Feilifa also could not understand; he asked Badijiaer to continue contacting Xia Shao to obtain the latest situation inside in a timely manner, after which he pulled Yisite to the side to secretly discuss—

Seeing that Feilifa seemed to have already concluded that Yisita was controlled by a Demon Descendant, Dakesi did not have any particular thoughts on this speculation itself, but he was a bit worried about Feilifa's current mental state.

After speaking, Feilifa transmitted the intelligence gathered twice and Xia Shao's request for the Metelier Mythallar blueprint back to Taiweimansa.

"We still have to ask Envoy Dumu for help; as long as I don't let him join the Spirit Thought Network, he shouldn't have too many objections. As for the local Mages of Metelier, as long as Dumu is persuaded, there shouldn't be too big of a problem."

"What are you doing here? Where is Yierlan?" Xia Shao asked Ruien.

Just at this time, Lier, who heard the cursing over here, also walked over to ask about the specific situation; Feilifa said nothing, only silently forwarding the situation he had just received.

"Who could control a high-level Mage?" Dakesi subconsciously wanted to refute, but then a name flashed into his mind with extreme intensity, "Are you talking about a Demon Descendant?"

Xia Shao's departure did not alert any soldiers; after communicating with Ruien, he finally found the investigation team in front of a Library in the city.

Furthermore, organizing the Spellcasters in the city could also allow them to jointly cast War Spell-level Protective Spells at critical moments, which could increase their chances of survival by a little.

Feilifa sneered and told Dakesi, "There has indeed never been a casualty on the scale of a whole city before, but have Demon Descendant attacks been rare in the past? It's nothing more than a difference in scale!"

Regarding Xia Shao's request, Palisi immediately agreed, but Tusen was worried that Xia Shao would run away, so he hurriedly pulled Ouluolin over and asked together:

Because with Yisita's decisiveness, it was absolutely impossible for him to let a high-level Mage go unused.

"Whether to give it to him or not is not up to us; this matter requires the Council's consent. I also really want to know what choice those old men will make."

"The original Node has limited influence on the Mythallar that has already been modified by Yisita. Since there are civilians taking refuge here, let's temporarily avoid this place!"

……

"Hmph! How is there no precedent!"

Not to mention Xia Shao's human identity, even the investigation team was actually very difficult to trust; the suggestion Ruien gave was—

"I think Yisita might have been controlled by someone!"

"This Library is also a Mythallar Node, but now there are a large number of Metelier civilians taking refuge inside; we are discussing whether to continue destroying it."

"Don't worry about him; Crown King Tuleidi has already sent subordinates over, they are just outside the Mythallar, and there should be new orders coming in later. By the way, where is Yierlan?"

"There is no precedent for a Demon Descendant doing this, right?" Yisite said with some hesitation.

"Lord Xia Duo, what are you going to do? If there is anything we can help with, we are also willing."

After instructing the Elves like Lier who were left to guard the Silver Spire to keep an eye on the movements near the Secret Ritual Chamber and to transmit the latest situation on the Spirit Thought Network at any time, Xia Shao then left the Silver Spire.

"I think so too; it's just that this Envoy Dumu is a bit relentless, not caring about the civilians inside at all. He doesn't look like a Tuleidi Elf."

After reading it, Dakesi was also incomparably angry and confused, and asked that question again, "Why would he do that?"

At this time, the soldiers who were originally standing by in Zhuguang Square outside had already dispersed by more than half, not knowing if they were attracted by the actions of Ruien and the others to destroy the Mythallar Nodes, or if they had dispersed on their own due to the chaotic state of the city.

Now there was already chaos in the city, and many Spellcasters were worried about having no one to organize them; if Envoy Dumu from the capital came forward, it shouldn't be difficult to persuade those local Mages to join the Spirit Thought Network.

After understanding the basic situation, Xia Shao told Ruien his thoughts; Ruien had no objections to this and was even willing to help persuade other investigation team members, but the Metelier side was more difficult to handle.

Next is waiting and praying; waiting for the reply from above, and praying that there will be no more twists and turns in Metelier during this period.

Regardless of whether the enemy is a Demon Descendant or not, one must use reason to deal with it!

"Palisi, Tusen, please wait here for a moment; I am going out for a bit and will be back soon."

As the saying goes, circumstances change; before, I didn't know Yisita was so decisive, but now that I know, then Yierlan, who escaped from the Silver Spire, is highly unlikely to be the other party's accomplice.

Now Xia Shao is going over to persuade as many Elf Mages as possible, including Yierlan, to join the Spirit Thought Network; even if Tuleidi is unwilling to provide the Metelier Mythallar blueprint later, if enough Mages join, they can attempt to seize the Mythallar Permission themselves.

"Let's not talk about that for now; that Xia Shao wants the Metelier Mythallar blueprint, should we give it to him?" Dakesi suddenly changed the subject.

"Yes! Except for a Demon Descendant, I really can't think of anyone else who would control the ruler of a land to do such a thing!"

"We have placed Yierlan in a safe place; after all, we are out to destroy Mythallar Nodes, so it is inevitable that we will have conflicts with local guards, and it is not very convenient to bring him along."

"I am going to find Envoy Dumu; under the current situation, it is very difficult to break the deadlock with our own strength alone, so we must unite all forces that can be united."
