Chapter 3230: Tacit Understanding, Farming Divine Grace

————It will be a bit late~~

————

The Main Plane does indeed currently face many threats, but Xia Duo now has his own plans, and with the help of Pulitatisi, Netheril has already begun to discover a large number of new Planes.

Overall, the situation is not yet so urgent that one must seize every moment to do something.

As for the present, the Illuminati does indeed pose a significant threat, but that is more so for the Northland Alliance; for Xia Duo personally, it is actually just that—even if the Main Plane really falls apart, he can just move to another Plane.

Therefore, he is eager to strike at the Illuminati, but not to the extent of making major changes to his own plans for their sake.

However, the Northland Alliance is different. Based on the situation Xia Duo saw in the Temporary Camp this morning, before the results of the Alliance Assembly are out, the various Elven Nations are clearly treating this incident as a top priority.

When Xia Duo found Feilifa, the latter was surrounded by a group of Elves, seemingly reporting on the preparations for the Magic Items to be used for the sacrifice later. Seeing Xia Duo approach, Feilifa gave a silent greeting.

Only after the deputy arrived did he walk out from the group of Elves and say to Xia Duo, "Consultant Xia Duo, you have come to find me so early; is there some urgent matter?"

"It is not exactly urgent; it is just that I also want to contribute a batch of Magic Items and would like to ask Lord Feilifa to arrange a sequence for me. Also, I wanted to come over and take a look at your preparations here."

As he spoke, Xia Duo looked around at the busy figures of the Elves and said to Feilifa, "It seems you have made up your mind to use the method of sacrificing Magic Items to let the Magic Net heal itself!"

"There is no such thing as a sole choice; it is just that we have temporarily chosen this method for now. If the effect is not ideal, we will also try other methods. Of course, more specifically, it depends on what the Alliance Assembly says; after all, this matter is not just the business of Yierlan alone."

Feilifa mentioned the Alliance Assembly that would be convened at noon today, and Xia Duo could not help but become interested, so he inquired, "Then has Yierlan already decided to spare no cost in pursuing the Illuminati?"

"As for that—" Feilifa looked around and did not answer Xia Duo's question directly, but instead said, "That remains to be seen after the results of the sacrifice experiment later. Some councilors in the country seem overly optimistic; I hope the results later can change their minds."

"I understand."

Xia Duo nodded and did not ask anything further. Because Netheril has him and Kulas sent by the Seven Towers, the Seventon Council should have a relatively full understanding of the situation here.

But as for Yierlan, Feilifa represents Crown King Helien more than the High Tree Elder Council, which has a power struggle with the Crown King. Sometimes, opponents are not necessarily opposing out of sincerity, but merely opposing for the sake of opposition.

However, once the results of the sacrifice experiment are out later, neither the Crown King nor the Council in Yierlan will be able to ignore the facts and oppose pursuing the Illuminati, because the Council must have sent people to the morning experiment as well, and they will be able to get first-hand information.

"By the way, Consultant Xia Duo, I have checked, and there will be a window of about twenty minutes after the second sacrifice in the Xi-2 Qu later; you can go there to perform your sacrifice then."

"Very well, then I will return first. Please have Lord Feilifa send someone to remind me when the time comes."

The reason he had to let the Elves arrange the time was mainly because all the time today was occupied by the Yierlan side, and the Decay Region was not a place just anyone could experiment in at any time.

If some unknown change were triggered, who would take the blame?

The current situation is that Yierlan has taken the power of on-site coordination; if any accident happens during the experiment later, there is no doubt that they will be the ones to take the blame.

Netheril is not fighting for this coordination power not because they lack the ability to do so, but because Iolum has already provided the most suitable solution for Netheril, which is—

Using the power of the Lady of Mysteries to clear these Decay Regions.

If the experimental results from the Yierlan side are not ideal later, then it will be Netheril's turn to do this, and at that time, the Yierlan side will also obey Netheril's coordination just as Xia Duo is doing now.

As for Xia Duo now, he is not doing any sacrifice experiment like Yierlan, but merely trying to earn some Divine Grace. Aside from Divine Grace, he does not need to consider any other factors.

……

Returning to the area where the Netherese Mages were in the camp, Xia Duo sent a message to Iolum, then returned his consciousness to his main body and stored the apprentice practical assignments kept in the Tower of Time into his Personal Space.

Afterward, he shifted his consciousness back to his avatar, and by this time, Iolum was already prepared and waiting for him in an open space with six or seven human Mages.

"Teacher, I have kept you waiting."

"It is fine, I was just instructing the others on the precautions for recording the Yierlan experiment later."

Then Iolum asked about what Xia Duo had prepared for the sacrifice. Xia Duo took out several apprentice assignments and handed them to Iolum:

"They are just student assignments; there are too many piled up at the Tower of Time, and I was worrying about where to put them!"

Iolum took a look and could not help but laugh: "If Yierlan had these things of yours, they would probably go all the way down the path of sacrifice!"

"Does Teacher not think highly of their experiment today? I just went over to their side for a stroll; they have prepared quite a lot of things, and it looks like they have made up their minds!"

"It is not that I do not think highly of them, but that I have a deeper understanding of the Decay Field there than they do. If it is just to obtain Divine Grace, they can do whatever they want, but if it is to clear the Decay Field, relying solely on sacrifice will likely bankrupt quite a few Upper Families on their side."

Iolum said this with a feeling of enjoying the spectacle. Xia Duo did not yet understand the efficiency of using sacrifice to eliminate the Decay Field, but hearing Iolum say this, he smiled knowingly.

It seems Yierlan's experiment this time will end in vain.

The Divine Grace of the Lady of Mysteries is very useful to Netherese Mages, but it is of no use to Elves.

Unless one day the Faith of the Lady of Mysteries can spread to the Elven Nations, and at the same time, the patent certification system of the Lady of Mysteries can be unanimously recognized by the various countries of the Northland.

From this perspective, Yierlan is not completely without gain this time. However, because of this, Xia Duo suddenly thought of an idea. He excused himself to Iolum and immediately went to the Elves' side again.

……

Feilifa's camp.

When Xia Duo arrived again, he saw the same scene as before: Feilifa surrounded by a group of Elves. He greeted from afar, and Feilifa showed a look of helplessness, calling out to his deputy while walking out of the circle:

"Consultant Xia Duo, is there anything else?"

"I wanted to say, don't you Elves have no use for the Divine Grace of the Lady of Mysteries? But we humans do, so I would like to ask Lord Feilifa to hand over the task of deploying the Magic Items for your experiment to me."

Xia Duo had noticed when he came before that Yierlan had prepared a considerable quantity of Magic Items this time. If he could be the one to deploy them, wouldn't that be equivalent to Yierlan spending money to help him buy Divine Grace?
