Chapter 2982: Revealing Saville

————It will be a bit later~

————

Originally, if the comprehensive testing had not discovered the suspected alien dragon incident, Xia Duo would not have considered the Holy Golden Dragon Empire for quite some time; only when the Main Plane had developed to a certain degree in the future would he have considered exchanges with the outside world.

Earth is still constantly searching for aliens, yet here in the magic world, they already know of the existence of alien dragons, so how could they not think of having an exchange with them?

Whether it is trade, magical exchange, or war exchange, they are all exchanges. As long as there is exchange, it will inevitably promote progress for both sides.

Seventon, in the Great Arena.

The Snow Melting Competition is still ongoing, and Xia Duo has not been swayed by the "alien dragon" incident. Aside from receiving memories from Saville to increase his understanding of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, he is now just waiting.

Waiting for the comprehensive testing to be completed to determine the number of suspected alien dragons. If there is only one, then action must be taken. It does not necessarily have to be direct capture; he prefers to conduct an exchange first, and if the exchange fails, it will not be too late to capture it.

Of course, he alone does not have the final say in this regard; he still has to consider the thoughts of the Seven Towers. If the Seven Towers insist on direct capture, he might compromise.

After all, even without him, the Seven Towers would certainly think of other ways to deal with that alien dragon, but without the participation of a War Spell Platform, it would not be very secure. Rather than that, it would be better for Xia Duo to compromise a little!

……

Therefore, detecting Abyssal Aura is not strange. If not a single trace had been detected, Xia Duo would have been surprised and worried!

The Snow Melting Competition is still ongoing, but the Jiche Sheji Dasai in the Xia Ling of the Nan Jing has already come to an end, with excellent contestants emerging in both the speed and load-bearing categories.

Xia Duo himself was once infected by Abyssal Aura and even went to the Great Temple to be purified several times. If someone is not purified in time, it might leave hidden dangers; this is actually the original source of Demon Descendants—being infected by Abyssal Aura or demon blood.

It is called a report, but in fact, there is not much intermediate process, only some summary results. Even counting everything, it did not fill two pages. What Xia Duo focused on first was not the incident regarding the suspected alien dragon, but the initial test results of the Abyssal Aura.

Now that Abyssal Aura has been detected, he is actually relieved, because detecting Abyssal Aura does not mean there must be Demon Descendants; follow-up re-examinations will still be conducted.

Seventon, Azure Manor.

Saying this made even the Drow feel a bit unconfident. It is true that Zhenisi is a trade hub, but it is more of a connection to Asikeer. If Elf Merchants could go to Zhenisi, coming to Seventon would actually be more profitable.

"The re-examination has already begun, as for the Demon Descendants—"

"No one has been sent to investigate yet; they should be Elf Merchants passing through."

Deducting those researchers and accidental victims, the remainder are the ones who might be Demon Descendants.

Xia Duo also took time to present awards to the winners of the competition. As for the Arcane Competition within the Tower of Time, it is still ongoing and is expected to conclude simultaneously with the Snow Melting Competition in the first ten days of this month.

It is still quite a lot, totaling twenty cases. And this is just a preliminary test of a small sample; twenty cases mean that Abyssal Aura was detected in blood samples from at least twenty regions.

"Is that so!"

There are indeed Elf Merchants passing through Zhenisi, but very few. The possibility of two Demon Descendants appearing so coincidentally is relatively low. If it is true, then it means Demon Descendants have begun to infiltrate Netherese.

For humans, transforming into a Demon Descendant might only extend life by a few hundred years and comes with various drawbacks, but once the ultimate bloodline technology is mastered, let alone extending life by hundreds or thousands of years, even immortality is not impossible.

Speaking of this, the Drow hesitated for a moment, but thinking that Xia Duo would know about this sooner or later, he did not hide it, "It is confirmed that there are two Demon Descendants in the Zhenisi region; none have been found elsewhere for the time being."

Even if Xia Duo does not agree to assist, the Seven Towers have absolute confidence in convincing others to build a Mobile War Spell Platform in a short period of time.

Picking up the test report from the table, Xia Duo was actually a bit surprised by this report; he did not expect the Seven Towers to come up with such a thing so quickly.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo also asked the Drow curiously: "With Abyssal Aura detected in so many places, have they all started re-examination? Have any Demon Descendants been found?"

Five days later.

And on the other side, Huo En, having failed to get the result he wanted from Xia Duo, went to the Gustav High Tower to discuss with Badijiaer immediately after returning.

Regardless of the result, it is not a good thing for Netherese.

The reason why the Drow and Badijiaer decided to temporarily delay further testing was to determine as soon as possible whether there was a second case of a dragon disguising itself as a human in Netherese.

Once the results are out, no matter what they are, the subsequent direction of this matter will not be shifted by Xia Duo's personal will, but by the collective will of Netherese.

There is still a large amount of Abyssal Aura residue within Danzo to this day. Besides humans, Elves and Dwarves may not necessarily not be studying demons in private.

And studying demons is actually not a taboo on the Main Plane; it is only because it was used extensively by Ruier that it is viewed as evil. If studied normally, it does not distinguish between good and evil.

"Is it Netherese, or passing Elf Merchants?" Xia Duo asked again.

Regarding this result, Xia Duo was actually not surprised at all. Of course, if more were found, he would not be surprised either. This kind of thing only has the difference between zero and many; there is no essential difference between one and many.

In the end, both sides made the decision to temporarily delay further testing and urged each territory to complete blood sample collection as soon as possible. In the face of ultimate bloodline technology, the Demon Descendant problem is not a problem at all.

However, Xia Duo had long anticipated such a result. After all, there was the incident where Ruier summoned demons to cause trouble at the Snow Melting Competition a few years ago. Later, the incident subsided, but the influence may not have been completely eliminated.

He was surprised that no Netherese Mage was studying demons and worried that someone might be cutting corners or faking results during this test.

It is just that the longer this matter is dragged out, the greater the variables. If possible, the Seven Towers still hope to get Xia Duo's support.

After both sides sat down in the Reception Room, the Drow took out the preliminary report prepared in advance, pushed it in front of Xia Duo, and then directly continued the unfinished topic from last time:

Under such circumstances, this matter is no longer just the business of the Jilan High Tower; it can even be said that the entire Seven Towers and the entire Netherese will benefit from it.

"The comprehensive preliminary testing has been completed. It lasted nearly half a month, and almost every Netherese was tested. Only one case of the dragon type mentioned last time was found!"

However, purification not being timely should only be an individual case. It is more likely that someone is privately studying spells related to demons. After all, the Ruier war was so big back then that anyone could see the combat power of demons.

After five days, the Drow visited again. Xia Duo knew that he had to make a decision this time.

……

If it is not, then the result is even worse, which means that Demon Descendants have long since begun to infiltrate Netherese.
