Chapter 3116: Revisiting Old Grounds, Within Expectations

After about half a quarter-hour, Xia Duo received Tili'ao's reply, stating that Kemansuoer agreed to grant Niya an entry action permit; considering the special nature of this operation, the relevant documents would be delivered by a specialist after entry.

Rather than having the relevant documents processed before entry.

Although Xia Duo did not have a very good impression of Kemansuoer, he did not believe Kemansuoer would play him for a fool in such a matter; after all, the Alliance still existed, and Kemansuoer would not dare to openly break the agreement—

As the representative of Netheril in the Northland Alliance, Tili'ao witnessing Kemansuoer's permit was basically equivalent to the two countries signing a formal agreement, and its effectiveness was quite high.

Once the agreement was broken, the losses Kemansuoer would suffer due to a decline in international reputation might be far from what could be compensated for by playing Xia Duo for a fool.

Of course, the most important thing was strength—not just the Order Force of the Alliance, but the magical power he himself mastered, which gave Xia Duo enough confidence to make Kemansuoer not dare to break the agreement.

……

On the Alliance side, before leaving, Xia Duo also sent a formal document to the representatives of the other countries through Tili'ao, briefly explaining the cause and effect of today's matter; of course, he still did not mention Kalishi this time.

And on the other side, the Gale Arrow Rain Squad had already gathered in Saibohomu, southwest of Kemansuoer, accompanied by an investigation team from Alaijiaya, which was ordered by the Alaijiaya City Council to assist the Gale Squad.

"I wonder how much longer it will take for the Consultant to arrive?"

"The Arrow Rain Brigade is urging us."

Bringing Charles was because, being in Saibohuo, it was more convenient to communicate with the other party if there was an Elf by his side.

"Yes."

Very slowly, Xia Duo and his party arrived at the Saibo Guard station where the Gale Arrow Rain Brigade was temporarily staying, located right by Saibohu, just two blocks away from the Portal hall where Xia Duo had arrived.

"Lord Jiewainisi, next we are preparing to head to the Saibo Guard station to meet up with our other companions; will you be coming along as well?"

After speaking, Xia Duo looked at the Gold Elf Mage to the side:

"What's the rush? Evereska does not have a Portal directly to Saibohomu; it has to transit through Kemansuoer, so it is bound to be delayed for some time. Just wait patiently." The captain of the Gale Brigade, Sha'er, replied via Sending with a calm expression.

……

Mentioning this operation, Ailan immediately became spirited, and his expression became serious, "Previously, when we reported to Headquarters, we mentioned that we had locked onto the target's hiding place in Saibohomu."

"It's hard to say. Based on the clues we have currently grasped, the target this time should be a mysterious Mage who has ideas about the Computing Power Pool."

When someone in the Northland Alliance suspects a Psionic Mage, they should strive to fulfill the undercover agent Kalishi.

Therefore, Xia Duo speculated that he would most likely see the corpse of that Lingneng Dashi very smoothly; this was probably Zhamu Dasi's plan B—

The real battle would still depend on himself, or rather, on Niya's 【Thought Robe】.

And at this time, Xia Duo also happened to be coming out of the Portal hall of Comansomu; this time coming to Saibohuo, he only brought Niya and his assistant Charles, because he was unsure if he would encounter a battle, and bringing others would be useless.

"I am not arguing with you about these things; it has no meaning. If you are idle, you can prepare yourself. Once Consultant Xia Duo arrives, perhaps a great battle will be ushered in. Your current state is not a combat state; if you get wounded, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Although the squad was named "Gale," that was more because of the squad's combat style, which was as swift and enduring as a gale, but every member of the squad was calmer than other field teams; only by being calm could one master the gale.

"That is because of Consultant Xia Duo's new instructions, isn't it? Without the news I brought, could you have locked onto the target in Comansomu so quickly?"

"Isn't that because we checked Comansomu?"

Not only did he prepare himself, but he also kept an eye on his team members, first checking their personal equipment, then adjusting their pre-combat state; just like that, half an hour passed.

"If they escape, we will continue to track them. I believe that as long as something exists, it will definitely leave traces; they cannot escape!" Xia Duo said full of confidence.

Jiewainisi was a loyal supporter of the Crown King of Saibohuo and also a high-level Mage. This time, Xia Duo and Niya met the other party as soon as they entered the country; the other party claimed to be ordered by the Crown King to deliver Niya's entry action permit.

"By the way, Sha'er, what do you think is so special about the target of our investigation this time?" Ailin asked again.

But Xia Duo's understanding of Jiewainisi did not stop there; if one were to talk about the deepest impression, it would be when this name was placed together with the Green Field Plane; back then, it was this Jiewainisi who single-handedly led the invasion of the Green Field Plane.

At that time, Xia Duo was just an ordinary Arcanist accompanying Niya to apply for a job, and during the Green Field Plane War, he didn't even have the qualifications to hear Jiewainisi's name.

"Did you find nothing in Alaijiaya?"

"Of course I must go with you. The Crown King ordered me to accompany you and provide necessary assistance at any time. How could I possibly abandon you? That would both lose diplomatic etiquette and violate my mission!"

If no one suspected the Psionic Mage, then that would naturally be plan A, directly using the Computing Power Pool to forge an Artifact; the Northland Alliance might not be able to react at all.

Sha'er had known Ailin since childhood; because the two families' relationship was not very good, their relationship at first was also very poor. Only after becoming adults did they recognize each other, and later they joined the Alliance intelligence department together; their current relationship was actually quite good.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Tell me about the current situation."

The reason he had such confidence was, of course, not just as he said—everything that exists must leave a trace; rather, since Zhamu Dasi had already sacrificed a Lingneng Dashi, that sacrifice must not be wasted.

"Consultant, you have finally arrived!"

Or perhaps Scrying spells were following at all times; in any case, they would not let Xia Duo leave their sight.

Xia Duo just said it casually; he knew that the Saibohuo side could not possibly let two great Arcanists move freely within their borders; there must be someone watching, and even if it wasn't Jiewainisi, it would be someone else.

Xia Duo still felt somewhat emotional in his heart, and no matter how he hinted, Jiewainisi did not show the slightest intention of wanting to leave:

"Oh, don't worry, don't you know me yet?" Ailin said while deliberately bumping shoulders with Sha'er; although she was still stubborn, her actions were very honest.

Xia Duo smiled and told Niya about the information in the Mind Link; from his attitude, it could be seen that he did not think Ailin's inquiry was inappropriate, but he did not reply to the other party's question either, instead asking for their location.

"Fine, then let's go together."

"However, you told us not to act rashly, so after we arrived in Comansomu, we stayed at the Saibo Guard station and didn't go anywhere. If the target is cautious enough, they might have already fled by now."

"Has Consultant Xia Duo not arrived yet?" Ailin finally couldn't help but ask Xia Duo directly in the Mind Link.

And now, the other party had to receive him under orders.
