Chapter 2966: Opening of the Snow Melting Competition, Abnormal Blood Test
————It will be a bit late~~
————
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 let go of such an international competition that already had a broad foundation of participation on-site, but this year it was already the Melting Snow Month (May), and the Grey Peak Mountains had not yet generated any revenue.
Therefore, it would only start being calculated from next year, and the various events of the Snow Melting Competition would also need to be renegotiated and determined; although it was not necessarily a complete overhaul, some adjustments would more or less have to be made to highlight fairness.
After all, this was two-ninths of the mineral proceeds from the Grey Peak Mountains; in the first few years, the actual output represented by this figure might not be worth mentioning, but as time went on, this portion of the revenue would only increase.
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 definitely become more and more exciting!
……
Additionally, it is worth mentioning that the bicycles brought by the territory residents were about to be ridden on the streets of Aifuruisi; the moment that strange, magic-imbued two-wheeled vehicle appeared, it attracted the attention of passing Elves.
The lower-class Elves were busy making a living, and because of the propaganda from the upper classes, they were full of prejudice against Demon Descendants; in reality, most were not involved in the Demon Descendant incidents, and Demon Descendants especially would not try to win over or convert the lower-class Elves.
But for the Demon Descendants to seek compensation for the past, that was also impossible; not only was there no compensation, but it was not even permitted to reopen cases for the many incidents where Demon Descendants had been persecuted in the past.
The Sage's calm voice echoed in the sanctuary; although the Apostles were all silent, the determination and resolution revealed in their eyes were all responses to the Sage's voice.
After several tests, many problems were indeed discovered; the vast majority were quickly handled well by the team led by Xia Shao, but there were also some problems that 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, then I will certainly not let you down. Since the Alliance wants a decisive battle, then give them a decisive battle; I hope they have the Courage to accept such consequences."
And in places where the Alliance's gaze could not reach.
As for that portion that was recovered, the Alliance officials had already issued an announcement that they would conduct a public trial in the near future; if they had participated in malicious incidents, then that went without saying—they would be handed over to their respective countries to be dealt with as they saw fit.
But as of now, the bicycle was still far from being a widely known curiosity among the Elves of Aifuruisi.
Ordinary Elves were both expectant and resistant toward such a future; they felt expectant about their own situation because Demon Descendants could be treated equally, yet they felt resistant because of the long-standing propaganda from various countries that Demon Descendants were evil.
This was absolutely an important turning point in the policies of the Elven Nations toward Demon Descendants!
Such a choice was actually not difficult to make; after all, if they chose to temporarily avoid the Alliance's edge and wanted to wait for the next window period of the Rebirth Ritual, who knew how long they would have to wait!
……
It was even possible that the entire month of May would be spent dealing with this matter; the more sub-networks connected in parallel, the greater the load pressure on the Main Network, and at the same time, due to the sheer volume, the possibility of errors would also increase, so Xia Shao had to keep a constant watch.
They could only choose to secretly harbor a trace of sympathy for the Demon Descendants in their hearts; this stratum was also the one among the Elven Nations most involved with Demon Descendants.
Even if Demon Descendants lived longer than Elves, they were not immortal, let alone the Alliance's continuous pursuit; including the Sage, no one could guarantee they would definitely be able to wait for the next window period.
The Alliance's official attitude toward Demon Descendants this time was not only a release of the emotions they had hidden in the past, but they also felt fortunate that their own potentially existing Demon-related involvements would not be investigated.
Besides this, there was also an Arcane Competition inside the Tower of Time; the timing overlapped with the Jiche Sheji Dasai, and Xia Shao could not avoid making an appearance.
The middle class was much more open-minded and optimistic; Elves in this stratum were qualified to know the origin of Demon Descendants and the persecution they had suffered for countless years, yet they were unable to resist the upper class's accusations of evil against Demon Descendants.
Besides the fact that the Snow Melting Competition becoming a designated Alliance event was a settled matter, the Youyi Canting that Daxia Territory was preparing to open in the Friendship Tower also had its opening time confirmed for mid-May, and relevant work was currently being prepared in a tense manner.
As for the upper class, the Alliance's official stance was their true thought; even if they didn't think so in private, they would actually do so in practice—if they said they wouldn't investigate, they wouldn't investigate.
After days of discussion, the members of the Darkness Society finally made their final choice. Inside the sanctuary where bright light flowed, the Sage sat in the center seat, radiating light, while the other Apostles remained silent.
Therefore, a decisive battle was imperative; even if they lost this time, they had to try every means to deal the Alliance a heavy blow.
If they had not participated in malicious incidents, then they would not be investigated; not only would their Demon Descendant status not be investigated, but the Alliance and their respective countries would also not investigate their "absconding" behavior this time.
Xia Shao did not have much energy to pay attention to the discussions in the outside world; he had many things to be busy with right now. The territory was hosting the Jiche Sheji Dasai in May, and this was already the second one. Although he wouldn't watch the whole thing, he at least had to attend the opening and closing ceremonies.
Theory was one thing, and reality was another; such a large-scale Spirit Thought Network had never existed, even in the Red Heart Alliance, so one had to be extremely careful.
Middle-class Elves would feel sympathy for the origin and persecuted past of Demon Descendants, but they feared the power of the upper class even more, so they would do everything in their power to hide their true intentions.
……
Simply put, the Demon Descendants who died in the past were indeed evil, and the past practices of various countries were correct; the current Demon Descendants were fine as long as they were obedient, and it was also a correct move for various countries to accept the kind Demon Descendants now.
Leaving the past aside, in the future, Demon Descendants might become an important component of various races in the Northland countries and be treated equally.
This announcement caused widespread discussion in the Elf World; this was the first time at an official level that there had been a formal statement regarding the issue of Demon Descendant status, and almost all Elves realized what this meant.
If they did nothing and just hid, then even if their lives could last until the next window period, they would likely die in depression during the long wait.
Fortunately, until now, Xia Shao had not encountered any major problems that would affect the normal operation of the Computing Power Pool.
Recently, what was being spread the most in Aifuruisi was still the matter of comprehensive testing and the absconding of Demon Descendants; at present, some Demon-related families had already been recovered, and some had completely disappeared from the Alliance's field of vision.
After all, they were already at the bottom level, so they obviously did not possess any magical heritage; even if they converted into Demon Descendants, it was unlikely they would immediately master the power of Magic, and instead, it would become a flaw.
And in Aifuruisi, at the Alliance Headquarters, the Yierlan and Keman Computing Power Pool sub-networks were connected one after another, and the testing and debugging could not do without him.
