Chapter 3033: Yisiluoda's Explanation

However, after making his decision, Poson still hesitated for two days, and when he was truly prepared to leave, Yisiluoda appeared before him once again, this time without any warning.

It was as if the other party had been watching him the entire time, just waiting for him to commit some action not in the plan.

Outside the Terminos Teleportation Hall, Yisiluoda looked at Poson, whose eyes were somewhat evasive, and still wearing a trace of a smile, asked in a calm tone:

"Poson, where are you thinking of going?"

"Not thinking of going anywhere, just wandering around." Poson answered subconsciously, but after answering, he reproached his own weakness in his heart; why didn't he dare to say it directly? Was the other party counting on this trait of his to drive him like this?

Seeming to have seen through Poson's thoughts, Yisiluoda led Poson to the side and pacified him: "I know you might have some misunderstandings about the mission I told you about before. After going back last time, I mentioned this matter to the higher-ups, and coming here this time is specifically to explain it to you."

Being led to the side by Yisiluoda, Poson was very nervous at first, but upon hearing such an explanation, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Yisiluoda continued: "The crackdown on the returning forces over in Ailan is becoming increasingly severe. The supplies I am asking you to help transport this time are very important to them, and I hope you will definitely not let them down."

"Why me?" Poson asked suddenly.

These words were somewhat abrupt, but Yisiluoda understood that the other party wanted to ask why it had to be Poson to execute this mission, and even wanted to know what was going on at the Morning Light Secret Hall before.

Regarding this, Yisiluoda's gaze became somewhat profound, and after a moment of thought, he spoke slowly, "It's very simple; all of this is the guidance of fate. The Illuminati sees hope in you."

But as for what specific hope it was, Yisiluoda did not reveal it. Such an answer could not satisfy Poson, but it was enough to shake his resolve.

This feeling of being regarded as hope was something he had not experienced for a long time. Although deep in his heart he had vaguely sensed the true components of this statement, he still hesitated.

However, thinking of this strange mission arranged in reality, Poson asked again: "When will the operation take place? Can you let me make contact with the Ailan returning forces?"

"I knew you still harbored doubts. Although I have transformed my bloodline, I am still a Siluwende Elf; how could I possibly do anything detrimental to Siluwende!"

Yisiluoda feigned an appearance of being about to get angry at this topic, then pacified Poson again, "Recently, a leader from the returning forces happens to be coming to Siluwende to handle some matters, and I can arrange for you to meet."

"As for the specific time of your mission, that still depends on the arrangements from above. After all, it takes time for them to mobilize supplies. I can only say it will be soon; just wait patiently."

After speaking, Yisiluoda prepared to leave, but this time it was Poson who blocked his path and asked the final question: "Why are you able to appear in Terminos?"

"Why can I not appear in Terminos?" Yisiluoda asked in return. Only then did he realize where he had aroused Poson's vigilance, but this matter really couldn't be blamed on him!

"After the Morning Light Secret Hall incident, I returned to Terminos, but because I suffered an impact during the retreat, my spellcasting ability was affected, so I processed my retirement and went elsewhere for treatment and recuperation."

"Asking like this now, I'm afraid you haven't looked for me since you came back! If you had looked for me, you would have known the news of my retirement, and you wouldn't be asking such a question now."

"I previously thought—"

"Thought I was dead?"

Yisiluoda smiled, but in his heart, he once again felt lingering fear at the danger of that experience. How easy was it to deceive the Northland Alliance? Let alone a small fry like him, even the Secret Hall Guardian Morning Light almost died.

If the Illuminati hadn't made some arrangements in advance, the Morning Light Secret Hall would have truly been wiped out.

And the guidance of fate he had just explained to Poson was not entirely a pretext. Regarding the Morning Light Secret Hall incident, he had specifically asked his uncle—that is, that Morning Light Guardian.

His uncle's answer was that that incident was a key node that was destined to be completed; the result of resisting heaven's mandate would only be worse, but the Illuminati had secured a better result for them—

Although the Morning Light Secret Hall was destroyed, a small number of Secret Hall Members survived.

And in the fate revealed by the Illuminati, Poson occupied a relatively important position. It could be said that if they hadn't contacted Poson at the beginning, or hadn't brought Poson to the Morning Light Secret Hall, all of this might have had another ending.

Yisiluoda actually didn't like this kind of neurotic talk of fate, but having joined the Illuminati for such a long time, fate had already demonstrated its great power many times.

This true and undeniable existence would not cease to exist because he didn't like it. All he could do was accept it. Regardless of whether he was willing or not, under the guidance of the Illuminati, he could try to embrace a relatively better fate rather than a worse one.

Yisiluoda explained these things to Poson, besides the purpose of dispelling Poson's doubts, also wanting to make Poson sincerely accept the Illuminati's invitation and then actively accept his own fate.

Tower of Time.

Inside the study, Xia Duo released his hand that had been subconsciously gripping the main body of the Wisdom brain. The news just obtained from Poson through the Wisdom brain sub-unit was somewhat too shocking.

If Yisiluoda was not lying, the Illuminati actually knew about this news before the Morning Light Secret Hall was raided, and even arranged a performance regarding fate because of it.

Xia Duo certainly did not believe in fate, did not believe in that kind of fate decided in advance. He believed that man can conquer nature, and that the subjective initiative of intelligent beings allows them to decide their own fate.

But for the prophets of the magic world, they might be the group most easily brainwashed by the theory of fate, and yet, Prophecy can indeed achieve the level of peeking into fate and even deciding it.

This is like a lunatic who fantasizes about destroying the world getting the nuclear launch button.

Not to mention the peripheral members of the Illuminati (including the Secret Hall Guardian and Secret Hall Members), the highest-level Wisdoms and the eleven Apostles are all prophets, and all of them believe in the Ailan fantasy of the Wisdoms.

They even attempt to shape these fantasies in the main plane, yet they might truly possess such ability!

Xia Duo sometimes feels that the Illuminati's motives are ridiculous, but sometimes feels that these Elves are unfathomable. Just like this time, learning from Yisiluoda's mouth through Poson's perspective, the destruction of the Morning Light Secret Hall very likely had the Illuminati's pushing and fueling behind it.

Then what is their purpose in doing this? Could it really be to cater to so-called fate?

Wouldn't preserving more living strength make it easier to lead fate in the direction they expect?
