Chapter 3238: Joint Operations, Frequent Unexpected Events

————It will be later~~

As the questioning went on, Poson also gradually realized that this sudden inquiry from above must be related to the Magic Scepter triggered during the mission, but wasn't that Magic Scepter received at the Midian?

And the most crucial point is—the moment he returned to the Midian after his mission ended, Yisiluoda took back that Magic Scepter; if there were a problem with the Magic Scepter, it should be easy to investigate, right?

Poson was puzzled, but the mask's questioning continued, covering every detail from the triggering of the scepter to leaving Ailan, and Poson answered every question the mask asked truthfully.

Among them, the one asked about most repeatedly was the detail that the spell actually triggered by the Magic Scepter differed from his prior judgment; he had conducted a certain degree of investigation on the Magic Scepter after receiving the equipment at the Midian.

At that time, his judgment was—the scepter triggered an 8th-Ring Spell, but the actual effect produced far exceeded the 10th Ring; the latter was judged by Poson based on the Magic Aura triggered after the spell was cast at that time.

This was also the only possible change in that mission as far as Poson was concerned, but what did this change have to do with the Darkness Society? It was meant to destroy Ailan's Magic Artifact Factory anyway, so wasn't greater power a good thing?

Poson couldn't figure it out, and the mask would not explain it to him; after asking the last question, it told Poson:

"Today's inquiry is over. If there is a need later, we may find you again to understand the situation. You may go back now."

Two days later, Disi was suddenly blockaded; for the Darkness Society, perhaps it could not be more wrong to say that it was these Disi Magic Artifact Factories where we launched attacks that were blockaded.

"The window period has shortened again, but you don't need to be overly worried; as long as everything goes smoothly with the following plan, we can completely complete the final ritual within the window period."

Inside the golden Alliance General Assembly hall, heads of state sat in a circle; as the initiator of this Alliance General Assembly, Crown King Helien of Yierlan spoke first:

Feihoulin responded and then retreated; in the ocean of light of the Secret Ritual Chamber, only the Wise One remained. He dissolved his form again, merging with the water-like bright light around him, leaving only a doubtful self-muttered sentence that kept echoing in the ocean of light along with the rhythm of the bright light—

But it was not just those factories or the whole of Disi; Feiailan keenly sensed that an information black hole targeting the Darkness Society had appeared, which was why he was so impatient to conduct an investigation.

"Feiailan, your heart is in chaos." The Wise One's still steady voice came from the ocean of light.

Hearing such words, Poson finally felt a sense of relief; recalling those scenes was not a good experience, and instead, every recollection plunged him into suspicion and self-reproach—the Commoners in that entire factory had died because of him.

However, this thought was ultimately too conflicting with the viewpoint Feiailan had formed for a long time, and he soon cast these useless thoughts to the back of his mind to focus on more realistic problems—

It was just that after investigating, Feiailan still failed to discover the real reason for the change, only knowing that the change might have occurred in that series of missions in Disi two days ago.

"What exactly is the Alliance blockading?"

"But the change has already appeared!" Feiailan opened his mouth, still unable to ignore the information black hole that had suddenly appeared recently.

And those other technicians who were clearly supposed to have evacuated but were still affected by the huge spell power—those vivid faces were completely branded in his memory; he might never forget them in this lifetime.

"Sigh!"

Inside the temple, the bright light was like water.

This brought about a very pessimistic possibility, which was—as long as the Darkness Society continued to launch attacks, it was possible to cause the entire Magic Net environment within the scope of the Main Plane to rot completely.

Thereby forcing the Spellcasters in the Main Plane who had pursuits to make the decision to flee the Main Plane.

"I presume everyone knows about the despicable terrorist attacks that recently occurred within Disi, but the matter is far more complex than you imagine; this is the news my Consultant Feilifa just sent back from Disi—"

"Just act according to the plan; you will go to the operation in Evereska yourself next time."

Killing a group of Commoners who had nothing to do with him against his will—there was nothing more painful than that; for these two days, as long as he closed his eyes, he could see the Disi Elf who had blocked his way.

"From these data, it can be seen that the Magic Net environment in that area has become extremely corrupted, but that is not the point; the point is that we have no way at all to completely repair that area."

"Do not overthink; you must understand what we truly want. The Northland Alliance thinks they have grasped our weakness, but they do not know how much we have accumulated in the Time-Involving Ritual; they will pay the price for their arrogance."

"Wise One, how is the situation?"

Somehow, he suddenly developed a trace of suspicion toward the decision the Wise One had previously made to destroy the Magic Artifact Factory; perhaps the Wise One was not as wise and omnipotent as he had imagined.

Inquiring about the peripheral members who went to Disi to execute the mission was only a part of the investigation; in other places and other countries, a large number of inquiries, probes, and even direct investigations had already ended or were still ongoing.

Feiailan let out a long sigh, rubbed his tense brow, and stood up to go to another Secret Ritual Chamber in the temple that could be called an ocean of light. He looked at the Wise One, who was almost merged with the water-like bright light in the ocean of light, and a trace of restlessness inexplicably arose in his heart.

"Then what should we do now?"

Apostle Feiailan finished organizing the data in his hand, and his eyes finally could not avoid revealing a trace of fatigue; even for a high-level Mage, energy was not infinite.

Could the Wise One saying so be considered a kind of arrogance, and did the Wise One need to pay the price for his arrogance?

As he spoke, Helien displayed Feilifa's process of the sacrificial experiment and the large amount of data collected to the heads of state attending the meeting, while explaining:

……

The Wise One's words sounded fine at first, but because of the trace of suspicion that had just arisen, Feihoulin's first reaction to hearing this now was—

He had once heard that some Netherese Mages transformed themselves into elemental forms to obtain near-inexhaustible energy and even near-eternal life; now he could understand those human Mages.

……

"Lord Iolum of Netheril has already named this type of Magic Net damage, for which there is currently no perfect repair plan, as 【Decay】, and the direct cause leading to the decay of the Magic Net is the Decay Field generated by the Darkness Society's attacks.

Evereska, Alliance Headquarters.

All of this was to exclude variables as much as possible for the final Time-Involving Ritual to follow.

And this was something that Yierlan and even all the countries of the Northland Alliance could not accept.

Subsequently, the dots of bright light changed; first, they turned into an abstract light-quality humanoid, then the humanoid gradually became concrete and clear, revealing the Wise One's old yet wise image.

"Yes."
