Chapter 3035: Poson in Action

Time quickly arrived at the end of June amidst Xia Duo's uninterrupted observation of Poson. During this period, there had been no progress from Poson or Yisiluoda, and the Rus Chamber of Commerce had never used that Static Space Warehouse, as if they had never purchased it at all.

But a turning point soon appeared, not with the Rus Chamber of Commerce, but in Terminos.

On this day, Poson was suddenly sought out by Yisiluoda. Yisiluoda's expression was solemn as he handed a Key Artifact to Poson and instructed him repeatedly:

"Pass through the No. 4 Border Checkpoint. Do not linger after crossing the border line. This artifact will guide you to the meeting point. Once you arrive there, you will see the Envoy of the Ailan return forces you have been wanting to meet!"

"Do I hand the artifact to him afterward?"

"No, just take out the supplies and give them to him. Keep the artifact yourself; there may be other missions in the future, and this artifact will be used again then."

If it were before seeing the Key Artifact, Poson might have accepted such an explanation, but after seeing it, he discovered that this was not the dedicated Key Artifact he had initially assumed, which could only be used in conjunction with one storage space.

Instead, it was a universal version that could change its key configuration to match different storage spaces. That Yisiluoda, or rather the Illuminati, would hand such an artifact to him truly showed the importance they placed on him.

But looking at it from another angle, Yisiluoda did not need a delivery person like him at all!

One would only need to communicate the space key containing the specific supplies to the other party, and then the other party could take a universal Key Artifact, adjust the link according to the key, and retrieve the supplies.

Then what was the point of him being a delivery person?

Poson did not believe that the Ailan return forces could not even obtain a universal Key Artifact. If they could not even obtain this, then there was no point in talking about resisting the separatist forces and returning to Siluwende.

Furthermore, even if the Ailan return forces could not obtain one for the time being, the Illuminati definitely had the capability to send them one.

As long as they had one, various subsequent supplies and equipment could be transported over continuously; there was no need for a Mage to deliver them in person.

Could it be for the sake of so-called destiny's guidance?

It was just like last time at the Morning Light Secret Hall, where even though the Alliance already knew the location of the Secret Hall and the time of the Transformation Ritual, the Morning Light Guardian still chose to conduct the ritual at the time the Alliance already knew.

Although Poson did not know much about the inside story, having learned most of it from Yisiluoda, he had been present at the time, and the Morning Light Guardian being stabbed by that transmuter was certainly not a fake.

To risk such danger just to fulfill so-called destiny?

Thinking of this, Poson asked Yisiluoda again, "Is there any danger in this trip? Has it already been discovered by the Alliance?"

"I don't know, but I think the higher-ups would not abandon us in the current situation, which is very unfavorable for the Illuminati. I mean, if you don't mind, I can act with you."

Hearing such words, Poson's eyebrows twitched. If his perception of Yisiluoda had always been in a negative state before, it had finally corrected itself somewhat now.

From the very first contact between the two sides, Poson had been in a passive state: sought out by Yisiluoda, taken to the Morning Light Secret Hall by Yisiluoda, sent out by Yisiluoda, and after they lost contact, he was sought out by Yisiluoda again to join the Illuminati upon their next meeting.

They had indeed worked together, but during that time they hadn't even spoken a few words. Although Poson held sympathy for Demon Descendants, he had no good feelings toward Yisiluoda himself, feeling mostly negative emotions instead.

Now that Yisiluoda was willing to take risks with him, regardless of whether he had foreseen the risks of this trip in advance, this attitude alone made Poson change his view of him.

In fact, during the time just after leaving the Morning Light Secret Hall, Poson had held a certain degree of goodwill and even gratitude toward Yisiluoda, but as time passed, he grew to hate the other party for involving him in such matters.

In the more than half a year after returning to Terminos from the Morning Light Secret Hall, Poson had been on tenterhooks almost every day, terrified of being discovered to have connections with Demon Descendants.

Later, when the comprehensive inspections began and the Alliance relaxed its stance on the Demon Descendant issue, Poson finally breathed a sigh of relief, but good times didn't last long, and he saw Yisiluoda again.

All sorts of complex emotions were finally released at this moment.

But there was one last thorn in Poson's heart, and that was the Illuminati itself. Although he was now forced to work for the Illuminati, in his heart, he still held doubts about these actions of the Illuminati.

With the mission confirmed, the action followed.

The next day, Poson got off work early, but he did not go home today; instead, he walked toward the outskirts of the city. Although Terminos had now become a border fortress city, it was still very simple for an officially registered Mage to leave the city.

A very important reason for this was that outside Terminos was not the Ailan border; there was still some distance to the south of Terminos before reaching the new border.

Yisiluoda mentioned that the No. 4 Border Checkpoint was over there. It was an early warning Protection system that covered the entire border line, and one had to pass through there to enter Ailan territory.

The reverse was also true; those from Ailan also had to pass through the defensive line to enter Siluwende territory from the ground or low altitude.

As for the extreme high altitude, there was also Protection there, but it did not fall under the scope of what Terminos was responsible for, and entering from the extreme high altitude was equivalent to taking a long detour; normal travel did not require going through the extreme high altitude.

Arriving outside the city, Poson saw Yisiluoda standing beside a caravan from afar. He sighed silently in his heart, then walked over. He glanced at the caravan beside him, which showed no reaction to his arrival, and certain thoughts in his heart became firm once again.

"Are we crossing the border like this?"

"Yes!"

Yisiluoda first made a gesture to the caravan to let it depart, then invited Poson to board the same carriage before explaining:

"Although the relationship between Siluwende and Ailan is somewhat sensitive, there are still trade connections between the two sides. Of course, compared to the past, the current trade volume has dropped very sharply and is still continuing to decline."

"What trade is there now?" Poson asked curiously.

He had never been involved in such matters in the past, but there was still some distance from Terminos to the border line. Since the topic had come up, learning more wasn't a bad thing, and he was indeed curious now.

Regarding this, Yisiluoda was naturally willing to explain: "The Ailan region is rich in Mithril; it can even be said to be one of the most important Mithril production areas for Siluwende. Otherwise, why would Yierlan have held onto Ailan so tightly under those circumstances back then, preferring to let Ailan be independent rather than letting Ailan return to Siluwende?"

"Just for Mithril?"

"Not entirely, it was more to cut off Siluwende's development potential. But fortunately, the appearance of the Mithril Mine in the Grey Peak Mountains eased this situation, otherwise Siluwende might have really been in trouble."

"Doesn't the Grey Peak Mountains area not have actual output yet?"

"Having the prospect of output is enough. In addition to being rich in Mithril, the Ailan region also has a strong literary atmosphere, and crafts such as brewing and carving are also very developed. Ailan wine has always enjoyed a high reputation in Siluwende, but there is one thing that Ailan lacks!"

Speaking of this, Yisiluoda paused deliberately, seemingly wanting to see Poson's reaction, and Poson did not disappoint, a flash of inspiration hitting him as he blurted out:

"Ailan lacks food?!"
