Chapter 2686: Wisdom Gem +1, Demon Descendants Emerge

"Lord Badijiaer, what Lord Xia Duo is requesting is nothing other than the Mythallar blueprints for important regions of Yierlan. It is inevitable that the Council finds it difficult to decide, and I hope you can understand."

"However, I have already petitioned the Crown King. Even if the Council ultimately chooses to refuse, I will exhaust every means to obtain the blueprints so as to save the innocent people of this land."

After Feilifa finished speaking, he left in a hurry. He exchanged a few brief words with Yisita, another Consultant to the Crown King who had arrived with him earlier, and then Yisita teleported away directly, seemingly preparing to return to Taiweimansa in person to handle this matter.

As for Badijiaer, he stood on the side, watching all of this with cold eyes. At this moment, his mood was wavering; on one hand, Yierlan, which he loathed and even hated, was suffering a disaster but had received a chance at salvation, while on the other hand, he had the opportunity at any time to prevent that salvation from happening.

For a moment, Badijiaer wanted to vent wantonly according to his own selfish desires, but in the end, reason and the big picture prevailed over his selfish desires.

……

Yisita left in a hurry and returned just as quickly. When he appeared again, Feilifa immediately went up to meet him, but Yisita said nothing, merely silently stuffing a green Gemstone into Feilifa's hand.

Feilifa received the Gemstone, but his expression was somewhat grave. He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yisita waving his hand impatiently. Yisita glanced back at Badijiaer on the side, and his intent could not have been more obvious.

Seeing this, Feilifa did not approach Badijiaer immediately, but instead stepped forward to hug Yisita, and only then walked toward Yierlaner:

"The Mythallar blueprints have been obtained; they are stored within that Wisdom Gem. How is he to hand them over to Lord Xia Duo outside?"

That attack occurred at the level of the mind and consciousness, specifically manifesting as several key nodes in the collaborative computing network—not individual users—suddenly sending a large amount of conscious information into the Spirit Thought Network that day.

Currently, Xia Duo was not planning to return the Wisdom Gem that Yisita had sent over via Yierlaner. According to Yierlaner, it was not obtained through normal channels at all, so it was best to treat the matter as if it had never happened.

Feilifa was somewhat dissatisfied with Yierlaner's attitude, but since the Mythallar blueprints had been retrieved, he naturally did not mind how Yierlaner acted.

Almost less than ten minutes after the Xia Duo Mythallar blueprint analysis joined the Spirit Thought Network collaborative computing process, multiple branching computing networks were attacked simultaneously!

It not only interrupted the original collaborative computing process but also caused varying degrees of impact on other normal users in the network.

Considering that Pawaisi might accelerate the ritual process at any time, this one-hour deadline could only be treated as a reference; if one were to prepare entirely based on one hour, then in all likelihood, one would miscalculate.

Previously, the first Plane Crystal obtained by the Tower of Time was actually a part of the Star Dew Scepter—the key to the lost family treasury of the Star Dew Family.

"Just send it to the Tower of Time," Yierlaner said casually.

But is reality really that smooth?

It is just like finding a cockroach in a room; there are often more. The city lord of Meteier City is a member of the Darkness Society, so how many Demon Descendants must there be here?

It is equivalent to a one-time high-level Mage, but whether it is one-time or recyclable, power is ultimately real and not fake, which can ensure that the family does not fall from its social stratum.

"Damn it! I should have thought of this earlier!"

There was no one on Yisita's side violating regulations to steal the city's Mythallar blueprints, and he had never obtained any blueprints either. The reason he was able to seize Mythallar Permission was entirely due to the efforts of local Mages and members of the investigation team; he had only done some trivial organizational work.

Once high-level Mages fail to be replaced by the next generation, the decline of this upper-class family becomes inevitable.

In reality, it was more than one second.

Under such circumstances, how could the family rise again?

"Then I will trouble you, Consultant Yierlaner."

……

It was just that no Demon Descendants had jumped out before, and the local Mages were all quite cooperative, which had made Xia Duo somewhat paralyzed and careless, resulting in the Demon Descendants catching him off guard all at once.

For him now, this kind of treasure could only be used for the Inheritance Ritual. With every additional Wisdom Gem, he could open one more Inheritance Ritual, which was beneficial for the rapid cultivation of the core strength of the Tower of Time.

……

Perhaps it is fine for one or two generations, but no family can guarantee that their high-level Mage inheritance will not be broken; after all, compared to bloodlines, things like knowledge cannot be inherited.

……

Wisdom Gems are extremely precious even in the Elf World. Xia Duo had never heard of any upper-class family that could stably pass down their inheritance without Wisdom Gems.

If there were no Wisdom Gems, one would have to rely on the previous generation of high-level Mages to hold on until the next generation produced new high-level Mages before they could die in peace.

Moreover, judging by the fact that the other party had Yierlaner send this Wisdom Gem to the Tower of Time, he estimated that they were not planning to ask for it back.

Those with milder symptoms might just be suddenly dazed for a moment, while those with severe symptoms would lose their minds the instant they received the impact, losing most of their ability to think from their subconscious to their conscious mind.

On the other side, Xia Duo in Meteier City quickly obtained the Wisdom Gem that Yierlaner had sent to the Tower of Time via his main body, and at this moment, there were only five minutes left until the deadline he had given.

But such high-level Mages who have reached the end of their lifespan and forcibly remain in the Mortal Plane only have one chance to act. If that is used up by an enemy's provocation, then the family is basically finished.

For a time, this collaborative computing network that had been operating well actually showed signs of collapsing!

Thanks to the fact that the carrier of the Mythallar blueprints provided by Yierlaner was a Wisdom Gem, it saved Xia Duo some reading time. Although he could trace memories and did not need to read them repeatedly, even saving one second right now was good.

And the role played by the Wisdom Gem in this is similar to a bloodline, preserving the knowledge and wisdom of the family's previous high-level Mages so that even if the descendants are mediocre, they can still become so-called Inheritance Mages with the help of the Wisdom Gem.

Saying this, Feilifa handed over the Wisdom Gem containing the original Mythallar blueprints of Meteier.

There was still about one hour left until Pawaisi completed the ritual!

Previously, the Star Dew Family of Keman was like this. When the family's last high-level Mage, who had forcibly remained in the Mortal Plane after their lifespan ended, made a move, enemies and covetous parties immediately moved in to carve up the Star Dew Family.

As for Xia Duo, Wisdom Gems were irrelevant to family inheritance, as he did not even have children yet, and the Territory had a compulsory education system that was currently being perfected, so normally he would not need Wisdom Gems.

After arranging the destination for the Wisdom Gem, Xia Duo simultaneously opened a Mythallar blueprint analysis process in the Spirit Thought Network. Now, everything was moving in a good direction.

The Star Dew Family actually had Wisdom Gems, but because a previous Patriarch accidentally lost the key to the family treasury, the descendants had no Wisdom Gems to use, which led to a generational gap in high-level Mages.
