Chapter 2865: Fertility Sanctuary, Determining Sequence
The next day.
Xia Duo walked into the airport wearing the appearance of an Elf; he felt slightly uneasy before boarding the Magic Ship, and it was not until the Magic Ship set sail that his suspended heart settled a little.
The flight that followed was uneventful, and after about an hour, Xia Duo received the news—Saibohomu had arrived.
There are two stops where one can disembark at Saibohomu, but Xia Duo got off the ship at the first one; the security check at this airport was clearly much stricter than the one at Meikatuo.
First, when disembarking, there is an automated routine inspection to confirm whether the passenger's identity information matches the ticket purchase and boarding records; this is an inspection by the Magic Ship Passenger Transport Guild.
That Xia Duo was able to purchase a ticket and board in Meikatuo using an undocumented identity without being discovered was enough to prove that such private guild inspections have huge loopholes, so naturally, it was impossible to discover anything upon disembarking.
However, there is another inspection based on Mythallar Permission before leaving the airport, but perhaps because this airport has never encountered a situation where an undocumented person passed through, the inspection process was overseen by only one guard, who was even quite indifferent.
Xia Duo mingled behind a normal traveler and walked out of the airport just like that, in broad daylight.
Of course, this is also because he is currently in a state of transparency regarding Mythallar Scrying; if his identity were forged, there would be a significant probability of being found out.
With the current method, as long as it is not a high-permission individual checking him face-to-face, there would be no problems.
That guard certainly had high enough permission for entry and exit checks, but unfortunately, the person was just going through the motions, and Xia Duo managed to muddle through without even having to use his brain.
……
After walking out of the airport, Xia Duo identified the direction slightly and then walked toward Saibohu; along the way, many Elves were with him, and he was inconspicuous while mingling among them.
Compared to Meikatuo, which he visited before, the frequency of Mythallar checks here in Saibohomu was significantly higher, with a large-scale scan occurring almost every hour to reconfirm the permissions possessed by the Elves within this range.
Perhaps because of an over-reliance on automation, or perhaps because real-time imagery had not been effectively integrated with permission checks, Xia Duo was not questioned by a single city guard from the moment he walked from the airport to the edge of Saibohu.
But to go any further, doing this would no longer work; up to this point, Xia Duo had only been active in the tourist area or the city's Public Zone, while the area where Pafen is located already counts as a private Domain.
Entering it would require passing multiple inspections, and the current level of disguise is not enough to sneak in.
Thus, just like the Elves who came here for tourism, Xia Duo first found an inn to stay in temporarily; the inns in Keman might be officially required to record suspicious targets, but after all, they have not yet reached the level of directly inputting passenger information into the official Mythallar for comparative checks.
Xia Duo easily checked in using the alias "Asuosi"; the only suspicious point he currently displayed was that he had no partner. Saibohomu in the Main Plane might have many details that do not match the Projection Plane, but one thing is the same, and that is—
This is a famous fertility sanctuary in Keman and even the entire Elf World, said to be a place where Elves born here have a higher chance of possessing Mage talent than elsewhere.
Therefore, many Elf couples, once pregnant, will find ways to come to Saibohomu to give birth; how long they stay here is determined by their personal financial resources—if they are wealthy, they will spend the entire time from pregnancy to birth here.
And if they have less money, they will calculate it precisely and give birth to the child just after arriving, but generally, they will stay for a month or two, spending time both before and after the birth.
This allows the child to fully absorb the blessings here and have more hope of becoming a Mage in the future.
But such a famous fertility sanctuary is, of course, not only visited by pregnant couples; many Elf lovers will come here for a visit before deciding to have children.
Or rather, many Elves treat Saibohomu as a resort for courtship and marriage proposals.
From boarding the ship in Meikatuo to checking into the inn by Saibohu, the vast majority of Elves he saw along the way had partners by their side; it was rare to see a single Elf walking on the road, as those were usually local Elves.
Apart from himself, he had not seen a single person who came alone.
This is the only suspicious point he left behind, but this is not enough to alert the city guards; perhaps he came from his hometown to visit his wife who is currently recuperating here?
Or perhaps he came to inspect the living environment in advance?
Or perhaps he is just a single person who came to play because of the reputation of the fertility sanctuary? This is not impossible; before he shows further suspicious points, the city guards will not easily stop him for inspection or Inquiry.
At the end of the day, tourist attractions only create opportunities to attract more tourists, and will not try to drive tourists away, let alone that this place is not just a tourism industry, but also includes many industries such as assisted reproduction and infant care.
If a soldier's personal behavior caused damage to Saibohomu's reputation, thereby affecting the revenue of related industries, that soldier might not be able to redeem his sins even if he died a hundred times.
Thus, this made things convenient for Xia Duo; even with an alias, he could easily check into the inn. One must know that Keman has a household registration system, but it is not yet fully popularized or connected to other systems.
But it does exist after all; the inn could have completely required Xia Duo to present an Identity Card, but it did not. Xia Duo does not believe this is a trap deliberately set for him by Pafen.
Because if Pafen knew in advance, he could have laid a net to capture him the moment he entered Saibohomu, without needing to use himself as bait.
It was also because he successfully checked into the inn by Saibohu that Xia Duo confirmed that the Pafen he saw in the previous Prophecy Ritual did not come from the past, but from the future.
If Pafen were from the past, it would be impossible for him not to be like the past; not to mention changing his permanent residence, he would at least strengthen the guard in the surrounding area.
With the other party's status as a prophet, slightly intervening in the security level of Saibohomu is not an outrageous thing; this is not only the privilege of celebrities, but also the privilege of the strong and the privilege of those in high positions.
As for the income from tourism, infant care, and other industries, it is actually largely incomparable to the importance of the momentary mood of those in high positions.
……
Inside the inn room.
While trying to steal Mythallar Permission, Xia Duo pondered his next course of action. First, Mythallar Permission must be obtained; even if the permission is low, it can be used as a trump card at a critical moment.
As for how to act, of course, it would not be a straightforward approach: killing all the Elves who discovered him on the road, then facing the BOSS, defeating the BOSS, and kidnapping the BOSS.
But this is obviously unrealistic.
