Chapter 2954: The Opening of the First Shop at Friendship Tower

————Still about an hour left~~

————

The lifespan of a Demon Descendant is longer than that of an Elf, generally at least two or three times as long; if they have the assistance of Magic, surviving for countless years is not a problem.

After all, demons are immortal to a certain extent, and Demon Descendants who have obtained the Demon Bloodline will also have great resistance to the passage of time.

However, very few Elves live past a thousand years. It is not that they cannot live longer—High Mages can almost infinitely resist death—but in Elf culture, death is not terrifying; rather, it is the beginning of heading to the New Homeland to start a new life.

Only those High Mages who are concerned about family heritage will resist death as much as possible, and only after a new High Mage is born in their Homeland will they head to Arvandor, the New Homeland after death.

Inside the Illuminati temple, the few Apostles who spoke later came precisely for this point. They can afford to wait—wait for this batch of Elves who know of their existence to all die off, or even wait a few more years until the relevant records are also ignored by future generations of Elves.

By that time, they will start their activities again.

Most importantly, they have already missed the recent windows for the Elan Rebirth Ritual, and the original plan has nearly gone bankrupt. The best choice now is to wait for a long period of time until a new window appears.

At that time, they will no longer be closely watched by the various countries of the Northland, and it will be entirely possible to complete the ritual in one fell swoop, allowing Elan to be completely reborn on this land!

Light flowed within the temple, and the Sage's short, slender body was wrapped in a sheet of bright light. While the group of Apostles was discussing heatedly, and even as the argument ended, I remained calm in expression, just quietly watching the Apostles argue.

"Yes, use a decisive battle to attract the attention of various countries, and secretly conduct the ritual in the Lingsi region. I just don't want them to keep an eye on every part of the Northland!"

Setting aside the Mage resources at the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory to build a new main body instead, it is estimated that the minimum scale requirement cannot be met in a short time.

It is just that such a conservative and yielding approach makes most Apostles very dissatisfied. Some of them already held resentment toward the current Elf World, some simply did not want to wait for an endless amount of time, and others were worried that future variables would be too great.

……

I do not know how long passed, but the temple finally quieted down. Almost all the Apostles cast expectant gazes toward the Sage, but the Sage remained silent even then.

"The original plan is currently unusable, but we can adjust the plan. As long as the ritual is conducted in the Lingsi region, it is completely worth many times conducting it on the periphery."

Looking at the volume alone, the volume of the National Sub-networks is actually far greater than that of the Alliance Main Network, but looking at the design architecture of the Public Computing Resource Pool, the status of the Alliance Main Network will not be shaken by the main network of any single country.

In addition, there is no prerequisite requirement between the second stage and the first stage; they can be carried out simultaneously. It is just that due to the huge difference in volume, it is only possible for the various countries to complete the networking by May at the earliest.

……

But if there are no surprises, it should be completed before May.

"Yes, Sage, we will strictly follow your instructions."

Not until an Apostle could not help but stand up, saying they were going back to prepare for the decisive battle, did the bright light around the Sage suddenly dissipate, and a weary voice came out:

The second step, of course, is for the various countries to purchase the Connectors, Gateways, and Translation Devices certified by the Alliance Ailan Network Research Center according to the networking manual provided by Xia Shao, and then carry out the networking.

The decisive battle mentioned by the radicals is not for both sides to agree on a time and place to open up the field and have a big fight, but for the Darkness Society to unite all forces starting now and conduct Unrestricted Warfare within the Northland.

As long as there are no surprises, Xia Shao can almost guarantee that by around midsummer, the computing resource pool itself will enter a normal operating state, but as for the revenue calculation, it is very likely to be dragged until the end of the year.

As for how to establish it, Xia Shao has already provided a plan to the representatives of the Alliance countries, mainly divided into three steps—

Evereska.

Anyway, the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory also needs to use the Ailan Network, so it might as well be combined. After seeking the opinions of the representatives of the Northland countries, Xia Shao made this decision.

This will of course provoke a strong counterattack from the Alliance countries and will also cause huge losses to the forces belonging to the Illuminati, but the losses suffered by the Alliance will definitely be greater.

"Now is a critical moment, and the future is also unpredictable due to the Alliance's decisions. I need some time to re-determine our path."

The first step is to renovate the Ailan Network at the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory to make it the main body of the Alliance Public Computing Resource Pool.

It is just a pity—

Including but not limited to, dispatching High Mages to destroy cities and slaughter Commoners.

Speaking of which, if the Darkness Society did not insist on carrying out some Rebirth Project, with the strength they currently possess, they could completely find a piece of territory in the Northland to hold as a separatist regime, and then slowly integrate into the Northland and the Alliance.

Most of the rest are preparing to return to their respective countries and then reconnect from their own countries after the Public Computing Resource Pool is established.

As long as the Elf countries are made to realize that the cost of completely eliminating the Demon Descendants is too great to bear, then they naturally will not want to completely eliminate the Demon Descendants. As for non-Elf countries, it was never our business, so naturally, we will not overly participate in it.

After that, adding the process of network integration debugging and testing, it may not be possible to enter a stable operating state until around midsummer. Of course, it can be used and generate revenue before stable operation.

The third step is the process of the National Sub-networks merging into the Alliance Main Network.

That day, Xia Shao finally moved all the equipment and materials in the Underground Secret Ritual Chamber of Yunfeng Manor back to the Floating City. In this way, there was one less worry here, and his avatar could spend more time at the Alliance Headquarters.

The named Apostle, Enwexi, responded, then immediately stood up and left.

"I predict that the Alliance's comprehensive inspection will not be rolled out so quickly. Enwexi, you go to the Alliance side and keep an eye on it. If there are any changes there, notify me immediately."

At present, Xia Shao has only progressed to the first stage, which is renovating the Ailan Network at the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory. This aspect is mainly reflected in the processes of adjusting the architecture, installing Gateway Translation Devices, and stress testing.

In this stage, whichever country completes the networking first can merge into the Alliance Main Network first, enjoy the benefits of Collaborative Computing first, and obtain the revenue from the operation of the Public Computing Resource Pool first.

The final test of the Public Computing Resource Pool has ended. That temporarily established Ailan Network has now been disbanded. Many Mages could not accept this fact and chose to join the Ailan Network Research Center.

It is not that a new one cannot be built, but as the main body of the Alliance Public Computing Resource Pool, it must maintain a certain scale, which is to say, it needs to reach a certain number of people "online" at the same time.

The other Apostles exchanged glances and also left the temple in twos and threes.

After the Sage finished speaking, the bright light once again shrouded the body until it completely turned into a mass of flowing light, flowing regularly above the temple.

It is just that frequent debugging may have some impact on usage, and the revenue will not be very stable. Besides the factor that the management of the resource pool is not yet completely finished, the biggest reason for the latter is actually that the calculation of relevant revenue is very complex and time-consuming.
