Chapter 3159: An Invitation for Cooperation Once More
Xia Duo was somewhat skeptical of Xierdalanna's words, but he did not show it; instead, he followed her lead and continued to ask:
"Then, what exactly happened in Taiweimansa that caused Yierlan's attitude toward Psionic to change so drastically? Does it have anything to do with the chess player being eliminated that you mentioned?"
"This question is not easy to answer. I don't know the inside story very well either; I only know the root lies in the Mianwang Gongting. Just a few days ago, Crown King Helien met a mysterious guest in private, and after that, he changed his previous stance."
"Is it Crown King Helien's intention for Yierlan to support Kalishi?" Xia Duo wanted to confirm this key piece of information again.
To this, Xierdalanna gave an affirmative answer again, "Yes, it was right after meeting the mysterious guest that Crown King Helien changed his previous attitude, and he even demanded quite forcefully that the Council cooperate."
"So the chess player being eliminated that you mentioned is because they opposed Crown King Helien?"
"The initial cause was indeed because of opposing Crown King Helien, but the direct reason was that the guy himself broke the unspoken rules first. This is something many Council members could not accept, myself included."
"I see!"
Xia Duo did not ask what unspoken rules were broken; that was not the focus of today's meeting, and neither was the so-called chess player. He only cared about the reason for Yierlan's sudden change in attitude and that mysterious guest, so he asked again:
"Have you seen that mysterious guest? Or do you know the other party's identity?"
Once the bottom line is lost, tradition is no longer tradition, and having lost the protection of tradition, where the future of the Elf will go, only the gods know.
Regarding this, Xia Duo also made his own judgment, "It seems Helien does not want his subordinates to know that he met this mysterious guest!"
Xia Duo was not sure if the mysterious guest Crown King Helien met was Kalishi, and even the authenticity of the fact that Crown King Helien met a mysterious guest could not be fully confirmed.
"Then Ms. Xier, do you think it is possible that this mysterious guest is Kalishi?"
If Helien really had that intention, it would not be too late to discuss it online later.
Xier Helien was also a member of the Gaoshu Elder Council. Under such circumstances, she claimed not to know how the Crown King persuaded the others. Could the reason for persuading the Council be different? Xia Duo was very puzzled by this.
In the courtyard under the sunset.
It couldn't be that there was no connection at all, otherwise why would Helien's attitude change so quickly!
"We are just who we are. If you want to ask who exactly investigated the Crown King's past visitor records, I cannot answer that. As for how we know Helien changed his attitude because he met that mysterious guest, that is also simple: Helien's change in attitude was too abrupt, and the most likely variable between before and after is that mysterious guest."
"Lord Xia Duo is very knowledgeable about Elf traditions!"
After all, the words came from the mouth of Xier Helien.
Xier Helien looked at Xia Duo in surprise, then continued, "It is like that, no mistake! Even now, I am very puzzled about how Helien persuaded his subordinates."
"Of course it's possible, but as far as I know, Kalishi has been staying in Evereska during this time, right? You are so wary of that guy, didn't you keep a close eye on him?" Xier Helien asked in return.
Speaking of this, Xier Helien was full of anger. As the youngest generation among the Council members, she did not have any wings in the Council; instead, she was someone else's wing.
"Do you remember our first cooperation?"
"If I knew, I wouldn't call him mysterious. In fact, if it weren't for Helien's sudden change in attitude, we wouldn't have investigated his past visitor records, but in the end, we only confirmed that there was such a mysterious guest."
"Then how did the representative Dalanna get authorized to say those things at the Alliance General Assembly? Didn't your Council reach a consensus? What reason did Crown King Helien use to persuade you all?"
"Unfortunately, I happened not to think of keeping an eye on him during the time you mentioned. Furthermore, as a Lingneng Dashi, the other party almost certainly masters the Avatar Spell. With the imperceptible nature of Psionic, even if I were to tail him personally, it would be very difficult to keep a full watch on the other party."
The representative Dalanna must have been authorized by the Yierlan Gaoshu Elder Council, and for the Council to want to authorize, they must have reached a consensus. Since they reached a consensus, that at least shows Helien persuaded the vast majority of Council members.
"Yes, I don't know either. There is a pile of reasons on the surface, but I know that is definitely not the fundamental reason for Helien's change in attitude."
Xia Duo waited quietly for Xier Helien to calm her emotions, and then continued to ask: "So even you don't know why Helien wants to support Kalishi?"
Upon hearing this topic, Xia Duo simply dropped a "we'll talk later" and hurriedly ended the communication. Such a sensitive topic was really not suitable for discussion via communication Spell.
Of course, if viewed solely from the perspective of circumstantial evidence, he did not think Xier Helien would lie about this matter. Perhaps she concealed some key information, but fabricating lies should not be the case.
Seeing that he could not ask for more useful information from Xier Helien, Xia Duo prepared to disconnect the link, but he did not expect Xier Helien to still have something to say, and the moment she opened her mouth, it made Xia Duo feel very surprised—
"Who are you? And how do you know that it was because of that mysterious guest that Crown King Helien's attitude changed?" Xia Duo continued to press.
After finishing, Xier Helien added one point, "Finally, when Helien met that mysterious guest, he placed the location at the Fanxing Shengdian. Although that place also belongs to the palace, it is shared with the Council. Receiving any guest will leave a record, and at the same time, it will leave the guest's identity information, but that mysterious guest did not leave any information!"
……
It is also unknown what kind of mind-bewitching Spell Helien cast on those old guys that they actually dared to use their personal reputation to guarantee this matter!
Therefore, he also suspected that the mysterious guest Helien met was most likely Kalishi, or of course, it could be Kalishi's confidant or superior.
Then, ignoring the strong opposition from the dissenters, he forced a vote to pass it. This indeed did not follow the rules of procedure set at the beginning of the Council's establishment, but it broke through the bottom line of tradition.
"What do you want to say?"
And facing this question, Xier Helien rarely let out a sneer, "If he could really persuade us, would I still be here answering your questions? It was nothing more than a forced passage!"
"If the Alliance finally agrees to support Kalishi, is Lord Xia Duo willing to watch this high-risk, uncontrollable plan be implemented in the Northland?"
