Chapter 3200: The Incident of the Attack on the Aipusi Factory

————It will be later~~

"It shouldn't go that far. I feel that the Yierlan representative should at least hear what we have to say first; how could they possibly go straight to Kalishi to snitch!"

Suolinkala was clearly lacking some confidence. Matters regarding Zhamu Dasi could be completely decided by the joint efforts of the Anti School and the Zeqi School, but the Northland Yierlan was not under his control.

Perhaps the Yierlan representative had a personal friendship with Kalishi and really did reveal such matters concerning Yierlan's national interests to Kalishi.

But with Xia Duo present, Suolinkala could not reveal his lack of confidence, so he glanced at Tuoruisi beside Xia Duo and said calmly:

"Tuoruisi should have told you already; we hope you can secure an opportunity for him to meet privately with the representatives of the various Northland countries. As for the specific details of cooperation, or even whether to cooperate at all, it won't be too late to discuss those after they have met."

"I understand. You want me to find a way to trick the representatives of the various countries into coming over first!" Xia Duo was speechless for a moment, but he did not refuse.

After considering it, he replied to Suolinkala—"If that is the case, then I need to know what methods you actually have to restrict Kalishi from escaping, or even to guide the location of his Self-Resurrection."

Once these words were out, it meant that Xia Duo's own true thoughts were known to Suolinkala. Actually, it didn't matter; he had previously publicly opposed Kalishi's New Artifact Project, and now he was simply taking a further step to facilitate cooperation between the Northland and Zhamu Dasi to directly eliminate Kalishi.

"Don't worry, not all Magic Artifacts can be used by Kalishi as a resurrection point. Although you still don't fully understand the Principles of Kalishi's Self-Resurrection, the general operating method is not hard to guess. High-energy environments or cross-Plane connections are enough to sever such links. Generally, places with tight defenses are considered high-energy environments. We only need to find Psionic Artifacts in non-high-energy environments. As for whether any are missed, tracking is the responsibility of our side and does not require the Northland to worry."

Looking at it from this point, Yierlan seeking out Xia Duo was truly not a random choice. In the current Northland, perhaps only Xia Duo had the possibility of privately gathering the representatives of the various countries together without arousing Kalishi's suspicion.

"It is not that I want to interfere, but with so many key figures gathered, and the topic being directly related to Kalishi, it is highly likely to cause a ripple in the other party's Mental Image World, thereby causing the other party to become suspicious. Believe me, Psionic powers really have such capabilities!"

To think it could even be like this!

"If it is convenient, please, Consultant Xia, arrange a temporary secret residence for me. I do not intend to leave until I have met with the representatives of the various Northland countries, so as to avoid being detected by Kalishi."

Speaking to the end, Suolinkala looked as if he were truly worried that Xia Duo might change his mind, revealing a trace of a worried expression.

"The timing is, of course, up to Consultant Xia to decide, but I must remind you that the longer this matter drags on, the more disadvantageous it is for both of us, unless you have changed your mind and want to support Kalishi's project."

But this also allowed Suolinkala to regain a bit of his momentum, "As for restricting Kalishi from escaping, we will certainly inform you before the action. Speaking of it in advance now is very likely to be sensed by Kalishi in advance. You must understand, one of the initial manifestations of Psionic power is prophecy!"

The Great Xia Territory held a grand Midsummer Festival. This year was slightly different from previous years, which was the awakening of Aipusi. Under the care of the old gentleman, Xia Duo and Niya were like marionettes, almost not missing a single step of the festival proceedings.

……

After the communication, Xia Duo asked Yebolong, "Where do you plan to go next? If there is news, how should I contact you?"

"If possible, try to have the representatives of the various Northland countries meet with Yebolong in the Ether Plane."

Seeing Yierlan being so sensible, Xia Duo had no need to use forceful measures. Regardless of what Yierlan said, he was not prepared to let the other party go; at least until cooperation was confirmed, these were necessary safety measures.

Xia Duo remained calm on the surface, but in his heart, he had already made a note in his little notebook: next time, if he has to deal with a Psionic Mage, he could try banishing them to the Ether or setting up an Ether descent environment in advance, thereby weakening the other party's Psionic abilities.

"Since that is the case, then this matter is settled. I will arrange the timing, and I do not hope for you to interfere in this."

The next day was the Midsummer Festival of the 840th year of the Netheril Calendar.

Because Xia Duo had already publicly opposed Kalishi's project.

With Suolinkala explaining it this way, Xia Duo's expression eased slightly, "Then you tell me, where would be a better place to meet?"

If the form is too heavy, it loses the original intention of the festival's rest and revelry.

"The Ether can weaken Psionic Perception, and even weaken Psionic potential. In fact, the most ideal location to surround and kill Kalishi is in the Ether Plane, but it is a pity that no Psionic Mage will easily head to the Ether Plane, and they will be extra vigilant against any invitation that requires heading to the Ether Plane."

……

Xia Duo immediately thought that he had once bought several Psionic Artifacts from Kalishi's Lingneng Shangdian, which were still kept in the Tower of Time. Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked:

As expected, there was a catch!

"If some Psionic Artifacts are kept extremely securely, can Kalishi still resurrect at those artifacts? Moreover, Kalishi has been selling Psionic Artifacts in the Northland for a long time. It is hard to say that everyone remembers where they bought things. If there are a few that were missed, wouldn't that be a potential hidden danger?"

"I will try. I can invite them to the manor as guests in my private capacity. The reason is also easy to find; it is nothing more than wanting to persuade the representatives of the various countries again to oppose Kalishi's New Artifact Project."

But just as Xia Duo finished speaking, Suolinkala's expression changed, "Wait, regarding the choice of location for the private meeting, I still have something to say!"

Next, Xia Duo sealed Yebolong and stuffed him into the Void Warehouse. That counted as being across Planes. According to what Suolinkala said, it should be able to block Kalishi's Psionic prophecy.

"You want to manage this too?" Xia Duo was somewhat displeased, "Coming to my manor, it is not as if there are no Protection measures. You are managing this too broadly!"

"The Ether Plane? Are you sure?"

"Kalishi has sold a considerable portion of Psionic Artifacts in the Northland. This portion requires the Northland Alliance to help coordinate and provide explanations afterward, and destroying those Psionic Artifacts is what we are good at."

"So, Consultant Xia has agreed?"

"I hope your tracking ability is as good as you say."

"As for guiding the resurrection point, that point can be revealed a little. It is nothing more than destroying the other party's Psionic carrier in advance, or rather, all the Psionic Artifacts made through his hands. This is actually an important reason why the Northland Alliance must cooperate with us."

In fact, according to what Xia Duo thought, many procedures could be simplified. One day was already short; more time should be given to the residents to revel, rather than letting the residents watch the lord perform.

Seeing this, Xia Duo's mood immediately became much more refreshed. He laughed aloud: "Don't worry, I have no intention of changing my mind."

Afterward, he turned his consciousness back to his main body and rested together with Niya.
