Chapter 2965: Public Trial Announcement, Decisive Battle Approaches

~8 min read 1,503 words

On the last day of April, the sub-networks of Yierlan and Keman were connected one after another; this was also the day the Snow Melting Competition finally became the designated event for the Alliance to distribute the proceeds from the Grey Peak Mountains.

Just as Xia Duo predicted, the Alliance would not pass up such an international competition with a broad base of on-site participation, but this year it was already the Melting Snow Month (May), and the Grey Peak Mountains had not yet generated any revenue.

Therefore, calculations would only begin next year, and the various events of the Snow Melting Competition would also need to be renegotiated and finalized; although not necessarily starting from scratch, some adjustments would more or less have to be made to highlight fairness.

After all, this was two-ninths of the mineral revenue from the Grey Peak Mountains; in the first few years, the actual output represented by this figure might not be worth mentioning, but the further it went, the greater this portion of the revenue would become.

This also forced all countries to take the Snow Melting Competition seriously.

If the five major powers could already directly obtain one-ninth, and if they could sweep all the shares in the Snow Melting Competition, then that would be a total of one-third of the total revenue; no country would relax on this.

It is foreseeable that future Snow Melting Competitions will surely become more and more exciting!

……

Besides the fact that the Snow Melting Competition becoming a designated Alliance event was a settled matter, the Youyi Canting that Daxia Territory prepared to open in the Friendship Tower also had its opening time confirmed for mid-May, and related work was currently in intense preparation.

Additionally, it is worth mentioning that the bicycles brought by the territory residents had already begun to be ridden on the streets of Evereska; the strange two-wheeled vehicles with Magic attracted the attention of Elf passersby as soon as they appeared.

Meanwhile, there was also an Arcane Competition inside the Tower of Time, scheduled to avoid the Jiche Sheji Dasai, and Xia Duo inevitably had to make an appearance.

The middle class was much more enlightened and optimistic; Elves at this level were already qualified to know the origin of the Demon Descendants and the persecution they had suffered for countless years, yet they were unable to resist the evil accusations against the Demon Descendants from the upper class.

Xia Duo did not have that much energy to pay attention to the discussion about the Li Jie for the time being; he had many things to be busy with now. The territory was hosting the Jiche Sheji Dasai in July, which was already the second one. Although he would not watch the whole thing this time, he at least had to attend the opening and closing ceremonies.

Such a choice was actually not difficult to make; after all, if one chose to temporarily avoid the Alliance's edge and wanted to wait for the next window of the Rebirth Ritual, who knew how long it would take!

As for the part that was recovered, the Alliance officials had already issued an announcement that a public trial would be held in the near future. If they had participated in vicious incidents, that went without saying; they would be handed over to their respective countries to be dealt with as they saw fit.

It was even possible that the entire July would be used to handle this matter. The more sub-networks connected in parallel, the greater the load pressure on the Main Network; at the same time, due to the scale, the possibility of errors would also increase, and Xia Duo had to keep an eye on it at all times.

If they did nothing and just hid, then even if their lives could last until the next window, they would likely die of depression during the long wait.

Middle-class Elves would feel sympathy for the origin of the Demon Descendants and their past persecution, but they also feared the power of the upper class even more, so they would do their best to hide their true intentions.

……

But it was impossible for the Demon Descendants to seek compensation for the past; not only was there no compensation, but it was also not allowed to overturn the many cases of past persecution of Demon Descendants.

……

Even if Demon Descendants lived longer than Elves, they were not immortal, let alone the Alliance's continuous pursuit; including the Wise One, no one could guarantee they would definitely be able to wait for the next window.

If they had not participated in vicious incidents, then they would not be pursued; not only would their identity as Demon Descendants not be pursued, but the Alliance and their respective countries would also not pursue their "absconding" behavior this time.

Therefore, a decisive battle was imperative; even if they lost this time, they had to try every means to give the Alliance a heavy blow.

They could only choose to secretly harbor a trace of sympathy for the Demon Descendants in their hearts; this class was also the one among the Elven Nations most involved with Demon Descendants.

After all, being at the bottom, they obviously did not possess any Magic heritage, and even if they were transformed into Demon Descendants, it was unlikely they would immediately master the power of Magic; instead, it would become a flaw.

Theory is one thing, and reality is another; such a large-scale Spirit Thought Network had never existed, even in the Red Heart Alliance, so one had to be very careful.

This announcement caused widespread discussion in the Elf World; this was the first time the official level had formally stated its position on the identity issue of Demon Descendants, and almost all Elves realized what this meant.

The bottom-tier Elves were busy making a living and were full of prejudice against Demon Descendants due to the propaganda of the upper class, so they were rarely involved in Demon Descendant incidents, and Demon Descendants would not try to win over or transform bottom-tier Elves.

But as of now, the bicycle was still far from being a widely known anecdote among the Elves of Evereska.

The Alliance's official attitude toward Demon Descendants this time was not only a release of their past hidden emotions but also a sense of relief that their own potential involvement with demons would not be pursued.

After days of discussion, the members of the Darkness Society finally made their final choice. Inside the sanctuary where bright light flowed, the Wise One sat in the center seat, radiating light, while the other Apostles remained silent.

After several tests, many problems were indeed discovered; the vast majority were quickly handled by the team led by Xia Duo, but some problems could not be handled for the time being, and as long as they did not affect the normal use of the Computing Power Pool, they could be temporarily shelved.

"Since everyone has made up their minds, I certainly won't let you down. Since the Alliance wants a decisive battle, then let's give them a decisive battle. I hope they have the Courage to accept such consequences."

The Wise One's calm voice echoed in the sanctuary; although the Apostles remained silent, the firmness and determination revealed in their eyes were all responding to the Wise One's voice.

And in Evereska, at the Alliance Headquarters, the Yierlan and Keman Computing Power Pool sub-networks were connected one after another, and testing and debugging could not leave him.

Leaving the past aside, in the future, Demon Descendants might become an important part of various races in the Northland countries and be treated equally.

Ordinary Elves were both expectant and resistant to such a future; they felt expectant about their own situation because Demon Descendants could be treated equally, and resistant because of the long-standing propaganda that Demon Descendants were evil.

This was definitely an important turning point in the policy of the Elven Nations toward Demon Descendants!

Fortunately, until now, Xia Duo had not encountered any major problems that would affect the normal operation of the Computing Power Pool.

As for the upper class, the official statement of the Alliance was their true thought; even if they didn't think so in private, they would do so in practice. If they said they wouldn't pursue it, they wouldn't.

Recently, what was spread most in Evereska was the comprehensive testing and the absconding of Demon Descendants. Currently, some families involved with demons had been recovered, and some had completely disappeared from the Alliance's sight.

And in places where the Alliance's sight could not reach.

Generally speaking, it meant that the Demon Descendants who died in the past were indeed evil, and the past practices of various countries were not wrong; as long as the current Demon Descendants were obedient, they were kind, and it was also a correct move for various countries to accept the current Demon Descendants.
