Chapter 3263: The Origins and Entanglements of the Three Kingdoms from Another Perspective

"Consultant Xia Duo?!"

Seeing Xia Duo suddenly appear, Xibokelaite's expression changed drastically. He subconsciously wanted to check his disguise, but he soon reacted and asked tentatively:

"Are you also a member of the Illuminati?"

"I am not." Xia Duo shook his head. The fact that Xibokelaite did not commit suicide immediately and could still communicate showed that he truly did not want to die, and the fact that he did not flee showed that he knew of the Alliance's power.

Hearing Xia Duo say he was not, Xibokelaite's gaze suddenly became dangerous, but at the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Xia Duo were also a member of the Illuminati, then this future would be too dark.

"Did you save me? What do you want?"

Xibokelaite did not ask why Xia Duo had brought him into the territory of Siluwende, but instead treated Xia Duo as his savior and proceeded to ask about the purpose of saving him.

"I did not save you; I attacked your secret base and then captured you!"

"It was you?!"

At this moment, the expression on Xibokelaite's face was extremely spectacular—astonishment, confusion, anger, and dejection—various expressions intertwined, truly giving Xia Duo a brilliant acting lesson.

Unless it is those Mages who have undergone regression modifications to their own bodies, who might be able to obtain some innate abilities, I have always firmly believed in the power of Magic and have never undergone any modifications to myself.

"That is not a question you should ask. I hope we never meet again in the future."

"Yes, I was originally moved by the Sarwensen Project of the Darkness Society, which is why I chose to join us. As for the Siluwende Elf identity you mentioned, hehe, do you know the origin of Elan?"

"So, do you understand now? My family can be traced back to Bokelai, and further back to Ailan Chongde. The ones who were excluded and banished by Ailan Chongde back then were all High Elves, but how could it have been possible to successfully establish a nation with only High Elves?"

"Originally, I thought that was the end of everything, but I never expected that such undercurrents like the Darkness Society were hidden beneath the seemingly calm surface of the Northland. I had contact with them because my family can be traced back to the Elan region during the Ailan Chongde period."

"How do you know I haven't?" Xia Duo said with a smile.

But the Sarwensen Project is definitely something that those peripheral members could not know. And most crucially, if the Alliance knew about the Sarwensen Project, with the Alliance's understanding of time-related Magic, how could they not strictly control Elan!

"You even know about Sarwensen?! You are not Xia Shao, who exactly are you?"

Without waiting for Xia Shao to answer, Xiyierlante explained it himself: "Elan was initially established by a group of Bokelai Elves who were eager to build a career, while Siluwende was established by a group of High Elves excluded by Ailan Chongde with the support of Evereska. Of course, Evereska at that time could not be equated to the current Evereska."

"It is just a pity that the Upper People are ultimately the Upper People; they could not see the significance of the existence of the high-ranking families. Once the national situation stabilized slightly, they began to exclude us, so we had to establish Siluwende again."

In the end, Xibokelaite calmed down. He looked directly at Xia Duo and asked, "Are you not taking me to the Alliance to claim credit? I know you; you have always been keen on the power of the Alliance. If you hand me over, it would certainly be a great merit."

"After all, Evereska at that time was nothing more than a large refugee camp composed of survivors from various countries after the Crown War. If it weren't for the leadership of high-ranking families like us, Elan would absolutely never have been established so easily."

In his view, Xia Shao was simply toying with him. He did not believe that someone who knew of the existence of the Wise One would not know why they joined the Darkness Society!

"Who I am is none of your concern; you just need to answer the questions," Xia Shao said, deepening his tone.

"As for what happened later, you should be clear. Siluwende rose from the war with Ailan Chongde, while the Upper People's nation of Bokelai remained stagnant in comfort and was left far behind by us."

"To be able to instantly deprive a high-level Mage of their Spellcasting ability, and to do it so that I cannot see a single clue, humph, everyone in the Northland has underestimated you!"

Even with his extensive experience, at this moment, Xiyierlante could not help but feel flustered in his heart. He knew very well that once a powerful Mage loses the ability to cast Spells, they are no different from an ordinary person.

"You even know about the Wise One, yet you still ask me why I joined the Darkness Society?" Xiyierlante said coldly.

"It was you?" Xiyierlante looked sharply at Xia Shao, asking with some disbelief.

"It means nothing. I just want to ask you why you joined the Darkness Society, and who the Wise One of the Darkness Society is?"

But as he said this, Xiyierlante became vigilant again. He looked around and secretly cast Spells, yet he failed to discover any clues. Xia Shao's words were very strange, and he asked in utter confusion:

At this moment, Xiyierlante could no longer remain calm. If it were said that Xia Shao knew about the Wise One, it could still be explained; after all, high-level Mages of the Darkness Society had been captured before, and perhaps the existence of the Wise One could have been asked about.

After speaking, Xiyierlante prepared to teleport away. He had already checked the surrounding environment and there were no traps or Forbidden Restrictions. He did not want to waste time here with Xia Shao; he had more important things to do.

"Later, I was moved by their Sarwensen Project and joined their plan, wanting to create a great nation that unifies the whole world and all races."

"You think too highly of me, but what you said later is also correct; you all did indeed underestimate me. Now, can you answer the two questions I just asked?"

So that was it!

And now, he finally felt that sense of powerlessness of losing Magic.

"It is me. Can we have a good chat now?"

Xiyierlante suppressed the shock and dissatisfaction in his heart, but he could not stand Xia Shao's calm and composed appearance, so he could not help but make a few sarcastic remarks.

Therefore, he concluded that the person in front of him who looked like Xia Shao was definitely not the real Xia Shao; otherwise, given Xia Shao's keenness on the Alliance's power, he would have surely revealed this news to the Alliance to claim credit.

Communicating with a Consciousness Copy is great; one doesn't have to worry about anything and can say whatever one wants. At worst, one can start over, or directly resolve and analyze it, all without any psychological burden.

This was the first time Xia Shao understood the origins and entanglements of the three nations—Siluwende, Bokelai, and Ailan Chongde—from the perspective of a historical eyewitness.

It was just that, in Xiyierlante's view, Xia Shao's performance was typical of someone flying into a rage out of humiliation after their lie was exposed. But Xiyierlante did not want to provoke Xia Shao, so he could only nod helplessly and then answer:

He did not know how much Xiyierlante had imagined, but he was too lazy to explain more. This question could not be explained clearly no matter what; was he supposed to tell the other party that he was just one of many Consciousness Copies of his main body?

"What do you mean by that? What exactly do you want to do?"

It was just that he had clearly been able to cast Scrying to check the surrounding situation earlier, but now when he wanted to cast a teleportation Spell, he found that the Magic Net had no response at all. As a Mage, there is nothing more worrying or terrifying than this.

"For the sake of the Sarwensen Project? But aren't you a Bokelai Elf? How can you still believe in the deceptive rhetoric of the Darkness Society?"
