Chapter 3027: Re-contact, Persuading to Join

Terminos.

After Ailan became independent, this city, originally in the Inner Land of Siluwende, transformed into a border city confronting Ailan.

Although Siluwende was forced to begrudgingly acknowledge Ailan's independent status due to the Alliance, from top to bottom, they never intended to give up on reclaiming their lost territory.

The current ruling body of Siluwende is primarily the former resistance organization, the 【Ekrix Contract】, which resisted the unreasonable aggression of Yierlan and the high-pressure rule of their own country's upper echelons, striving to restore Siluwende's independent status.

Later, the 【Ekrix Contract】 absorbed General Kelusi, who had smuggled himself from the past to the present, integrated all of Siluwende's resistance forces, and ultimately took over Siluwende after the war.

The nature of the ruling group destined them to be at odds with Yierlan, Ailan, and the Demon Descendants.

Therefore, after Terminos became a border city with Ailan, Siluwende quickly diverted a large amount of resources and manpower from other areas in the country that needed construction and repair to build Terminos into a brand-new border fortress.

As for Poson, his current official status is a Logistics Mage on the Terminos payroll, responsible for maintaining the civilian Magic Facilities and equipment within the Terminos fortress, such as street surveillance, monitoring Magic Artifacts, streetlights, Projections, Flying Disks, and so on.

On this day, as he walked home and reached a familiar street corner, a figure emerging from the shadows caused his heart to tremble violently; although many days had passed since their last meeting, every time he thought of the other's existence during this period, he could not help but feel confused, shocked, and uneasy.

Although he had not yet noticed this figure, Poson's pace toward home did not falter; instead, he continued to turn the corner and head back toward the neighborhood where his new residence was located.

On the other hand, although the Demon Descendants are now partially accepted by the various countries of the Alliance, they remain a taboo that cannot be spoken of among the common people and in Isrode, and the level of tolerance for comprehensive testing in Isrode far exceeds that of any other country.

"Actually, the Alliance has a slight misunderstanding of the Darkness Society. Do you know why we are called the Darkness Society? Do you really think so many members believe in that ethereal plan to reshape the Time Line? No, what we truly believe in and truly pursue is a bright future for the vast majority of the bottom-tier Elves."

"Speak, what do you want me to do? Let me say this first: I highly approve of General Minos's reforms. If you want to cause trouble within Isrode, I will absolutely report you the moment I step outside!"

No, it should be that he was forced.

Thus, Poson lived in peace and even became a Logistics Mage in Sluwende; he had originally thought that he might not have any more dealings with the Demon Descendants in the future, but he did not expect that an Elf he had long considered dead would suddenly appear before him a few days ago, which truly shattered his long-standing calm life.

……

It was also because of this that he remained resistant to joining the Darkness Society, even feeling disgusted, because the Darkness Society exploited the hopes of the bottom-tier Elves, while what they actually wanted to do was not to change the world, but to destroy it.

"Rest assured, what we are asking you to do does not involve Isrode, nor will it harm anyone. Finally, let me tell you a secret: in fact, General Minos is also our companion!"

After the Dawn Codex was breached by the Alliance, Poson had not received any information from the Demon Descendants for a very long time, plus General Minos had implemented many reforms beneficial to the bottom tier after taking office.

"That's impossible!"

Poson even had an understanding of the Darkness Society's ultimate goal!

Poson immediately retorted, "General Minos was sealed in the Ashofier fortress in the past precisely because he was hunted by the Demon Descendants; he hates the Demon Descendants beyond measure, how could he be one of your people!"

Thus, in such a complex psychological state, Poson did not know how it happened, but he agreed to Krusda's request.

Krusda joked as he walked from the shadows into the light, as if that were the purpose of his visit, "Lord Dawn asked me to ask you again: are you willing to join the Darkness Society?"

This also caused him to pin his original hopes on General Minos; he did not think he could do better than General Minos, and under the current circumstances, forcing a bottom-tier revolution would only end up hurting the bottom tier.

The fact that the other party could enter and exit Sluwende at will made him feel alarmed; as a Logistics Mage with an official position, even if his primary job was not war-related, he still had some understanding of the measures taken here to deal with war.

Then why would they go to such trouble? Wouldn't it be better to just work with General Minos?

In Poson's view, perhaps not all members within the Darkness Society wanted to reshape the Time Line, but the vast majority of members definitely harbored a desire for power; regardless of what their purpose for desiring power was, that point itself would not change.

Regarding Krusda's defense, Poson did not know how to refute it, but at least one thing was clear to him: Isrode, under the leadership of General Minos, was indeed moving toward the bright future that Krusda spoke of.

Poson even suspected that some high-ranking official in Sluwende might have already turned to the Darkness Society; the so-called Darkness Society was also the existence behind the Demon Descendants in the past, and while it remained a secret among the common people, it was no secret to Mages on the official payroll.

When all is said and done, isn't it just for power!

"Can I say I'm not willing?" Poson gave a bitter smile; in fact, he had implicitly expressed his resistance to joining a new organization when Dawn was present last time, and he did not expect to be asked again after only a few days.

At least for Poson himself, that was the case.

Perhaps Poson himself had not noticed that when facing the resurrected Krusda, there was always an irrepressible impatience deeply hidden within his emotions.

"Krusda, what do you want with me?"

As soon as he opened the door, the figure he had seen at the street corner earlier was already inside the room; seeing this, Poson's mood became even more complex.

Krusda's words were like a thorn deeply embedded in Poson's heart; at that moment, his mind was muddled, and he trusted his instinctive intuition that General Minos was absolutely not a member of the Darkness Society as the other party claimed.

"What, aren't you welcoming me? We were friends, after all!"

Changing the Time Line might be a good thing for the Darkness Society, but for the living Elves of the current Time Line, it was no less than the destruction of the world; there would be no place for them in the new world.

On one hand, he had always thought in the past that it was the other party who sacrificed themselves to allow him to successfully escape from the Alliance's surprise attack, but now it seemed that there might have been hidden circumstances back then.

But he was equally unable to refute it, and even to a certain extent thought that what the other party said made a lot of sense; after all, rulers like General Minos who cared about the bottom tier were indeed very rare in the Northland.

"Does General Minos's hatred for the Demon Descendants have any necessary connection to whether he is a member of the Darkness Society? If he is not a member of the Darkness Society, then why would he push for these measures to improve the status of the bottom tier?"
