Chapter 3198: The Ungrateful Kalishi

"Consultant Xia Duo, please do not make things difficult for a messenger like me anymore. With my Permission Level, I truly cannot provide more content regarding the cooperation or other evidence you desire."

"Then I cannot agree. Perhaps you can go find someone else. As for the fact that you came here, I will keep it confidential for you." Seeing this, Xia Duo simply refused.

Although he promised to keep the fact of the other party's arrival confidential, saying it this way clearly carried a hint of a threat, and since Tuoruisi could serve as the secret liaison sent to the Northland by Zhamu Dasi, he certainly would not fail to understand Xia Duo's implication.

He hesitated for a moment, but instead of looking for someone else, he tentatively asked Xia Duo: "I wonder if a handwritten letter from our school leader could count as proof?"

"If it is truly a 'handwritten' letter, then of course it can serve as proof!" Xia Duo emphasized the word "handwritten" with stress.

Tuoruisi replied immediately: "It is a genuine handwritten letter; I watched the leader write it with his own hands."

"Let me see!"

"One moment."

Tuoruisi reached his hand into his pitch-black cloak, fumbled for a few moments, and took out a letter that did not carry a shred of Magic Aura, but he did not hand the letter to Xia Duo immediately; instead, he held the letter and confirmed with Xia Duo:

"If Consultant Xia Duo does not agree, please return the leader's letter to me."

"Very well."

Xia Duo agreed to Tuoruisi's request, and only then did he take the letter. Upon opening it, perhaps to facilitate reading by the high-level officials of the Northland, the letter was written in Elvish.

Through the lines of this letter, Xia Duo could conclude that the person who wrote it must be very proficient in Elvish, and the handwriting was elegant and beautiful, exuding a thick literary atmosphere; it was hard to believe this came from the hand of a Zhamu Dasi person with a strong desire for conquest.

Xia Duo read through it briefly; the content was the same as what Tuoruisi said, roughly stating that Kalishi's ambition was great, and once he succeeded, the entire Xilu and even the entire Main Plane would be enslaved by him, so he hoped to unite with the Northland Alliance.

Regarding the letter itself, Xia Duo did not have many thoughts. What he truly cared about was the person who wrote the letter. Since the letter had no trace of Magic Aura and the Psionic Detector could not detect any psionic traces, it could be considered an ordinary letter for the time being.

Therefore, to verify the authenticity of the letter, Xia Duo chose to trace the writer of the letter. If it were truly the leader of the Anti School, he should have left a dedicated meeting channel for this letter.

……

Seeing that Xia Duo was about to cast a Spell on the school leader's handwritten letter, Tuoruisi subconsciously wanted to stop him, but the next moment he realized that perhaps this was the leader's true intention.

And on the other side, in southern Zhamu Dasi.

Suolinkala finally finished his day's work. He was preparing to go to the Meditation Room to relax for a while, but suddenly perceived a sense of peeping from afar. Intuition told him not to stop it; he trusted his intuition, so he did not stop it.

The next moment, he saw a strange room with an Elven style, Tuoruisi inside the room, and a blurry figure. Seeing this scene, he immediately thought of something and teleported to the nearest Laboratory.

After setting up various Protections and adjusting his posture, Suolinkala said solemnly: "I am Suolinkala, the current leader of the Anti School. May I ask who you are from the Northland?"

"Suolinkala?"

Although Xia Duo had never met this legendary leader of the Anti School before, the first moment he saw the other party through the Scrying Spell, he believed in the other party's identity.

But the first impression this person gave him was indeed not like a typical Zhamu Dasi person, but more like a melancholic poet. Combined with the extreme ideology within the Anti School that Kalishi mentioned earlier, this might not be groundless.

"I am Xia Duo, the liaison chosen by Tuoruisi. He told me that you want to cooperate with the Northland Alliance to eliminate Kalishi. I want to know the specific content of the cooperation."

"Xia Duo?"

Hearing this familiar yet distant name, Suolinkala was shocked. He did not expect that Tuoruisi would actually choose Xia Duo as the intermediary.

Although Tuoruisi was a member of the Anti School, going to the Northland for secret liaison was not just the business of the Anti School alone. That Tuoruisi could gain the simultaneous trust of two major schools clearly meant he had extraordinary qualities.

Since Tuoruisi had already chosen Xia Duo, it was impossible for him not to acknowledge it. Fortunately, it was him; if it were Zhalanmonai, this cooperation might have already broken down.

"So it is Consultant Xia Duo, nice to meet you. Tuoruisi was indeed entrusted by us and the Zeqi school to go to the Northland, and the cooperation he mentioned is indeed true. As for the specific content of the cooperation—"

Suolinkala hesitated for a moment but still agreed. Since Xia Duo was already an insider, it was impossible to ignore him; instead, he had to try his best to win him over. And as far as he knew, Xia Duo and Kalishi had already almost openly dismantled each other, so he should be someone who could be won over.

Therefore, he told Xia Duo: "No matter how miraculous Kalishi's fusion of Psionic and Arcane is, it ultimately stems from the two major Arcane Magic Systems of Psionic and Arcane. By gathering the power of our two major magic systems, we should be able to deal with him.

"As for how to do it specifically, our idea is for the Northland Alliance to arrange for our people to secretly enter Evereska, and then surround and kill Kalishi on the spot. Of course, if the Northland Alliance has different opinions, we can discuss it again; after all, cooperation is about making everyone satisfied."

Suolinkala lowered his posture significantly, especially as the leader of the Psionic Magic school, admitting the Arcane Magic System in front of a subordinate like Tuoruisi; it had to be said that this was a huge concession.

And Xia Duo also felt the sincerity in Suolinkala's tone. Although the revealed cooperation content was not much, it was much better than Tuoruisi, who knew nothing when asked.

Therefore, Xia Duo continued to ask: "Tuoruisi said that Zhamu Dasi was coerced by Kalishi before; what is that about? Tuoruisi spoke vaguely. If possible, I ask Your Excellency Suolinkala to clear up my confusion."

"This is indeed not a glorious matter. Since Consultant Xia Duo has asked, I will speak about it briefly."

At this moment, Suolinkala seemed to have no intention of keeping it secret at all, exposing his own shortcomings without hesitation, "Previously, Kalishi had been cultivating in our school.

"Perhaps it was truly the enlightenment of the First Mentor, he found a path of Arcane and Psionic fusion, and obtained some strange abilities from this path, one of which was an ability he had performed in front of us many times.

"I imagine Tuoruisi has already told Your Excellency, it is Self-Rebirth. This kind of means to be able to be reborn without loss relying solely on oneself is truly enviable and truly daunting.

"It was also at that time that Kalishi put forward a grand proposal, saying that he wanted to create something different from the traditional, and hoped to gain the support of the school.

"But the one currently in power in Zhamu Dasi is the Zeqi school, so I refused."
