Chapter 3265: Another Lurker

~8 min read 1,418 words

As for himself, as long as he could ensure his family's survival, Xibokelaite would immediately head to Arvandor to offer his most sincere Faith to the main god.

In this way, his mortal self would be dead, his sins would be erased, and due to tradition, the various nations would not overly punish his family.

And as for his self in Arvandor, if the main god were willing to accept him, he could become a Divine Envoy and still have a chance to return to the Mortal Plane, which was also an important guarantee for the survival of his family in the Mortal Plane.

It was just a pity that plans could not keep up with changes; before the Illuminati could even launch an attack, the Midian had been destroyed by the Alliance, and the Apostle had run away.

Under these circumstances, Xibokelaite's original plan was no longer useful, and at that time, since the Apostle had not taken him along when fleeing, his only remaining choices were to resist or surrender.

Resistance was certainly out of the question; every bit of resistance would cause another negative impact on his family's survival, and as for surrendering, he felt somewhat unable to let go of his pride.

Because he hesitated for a few extra seconds, he lost even the chance to surrender.

So now his only choice was to cooperate with the Alliance's investigation and demonstrate his usefulness as much as possible; it was no longer realistic to expect Evereska to accept his family unconditionally, but it was still something he could strive for.

Compared to other nations, Evereska made him feel more at ease. Although he was more familiar with Yierlan and had various connections there, given that this had happened, he truly could not guarantee the attitude of the other Upper Families.

It would be safer to move the family to a different place, and besides Evereska, Netheril was also one of his targets for consideration, as its internal order had been significantly stabilized before the signing of the New Covenant in Netheril.

Xifansansite, however, hesitated and asked in return: "Can you represent the Alliance?"

……

"Consultant Xia Shao, do you have anything else you want to ask?"

"Besides Feidisi, what other Apostles of the Darkness Society do you know of?"

Now that there was a Consciousness Copy of a Sluwen high-level Mage, and they were in a virtual scene, he would absolutely not let go of such an excellent opportunity!

However, he hoped that this situation would happen; if there really were important figures of the Darkness Society hidden within Sluwen, wouldn't his own affairs seem much less significant?

A Wood Elf prophet, such a special existence, must have left traces in history if they had existed; Xia Shao did not know much about the history of Sluwen in the Main Plane, and he was worried about alerting the enemy if he asked directly in reality.

In the eyes of Xiyierlante, the Xia Shao before him was definitely not the real Xia Shao; it was highly probable that he was an image deliberately created by the Alliance for the convenience of interrogation.

"It is Almolin!" Xiyierlante sold out his former companion without hesitation.

It was just that the racial differences ultimately made him give up the idea of migrating his family to Netheril.

Could it be that Sluwen really had a very powerful Wood Elf prophet? Could a mere member of the Upper People become a prophet?

Not to mention, Sluwen and Keman had constant old and new grudges; once the family migrated there, they would likely soon become targets for partition or sacrifices in other situations.

So it was another high-level Mage from Sluwen; counting the Xiyierlante before him and the ones discovered previously, Sluwen had simply been infiltrated by the Darkness Society like a sieve!

However, based on his understanding of Xia Shao and the Alliance, the real Xia Shao would certainly be in the know, so his direct dialogue with Xia Shao was not a problem.

And this also led Xia Shao to a bold conjecture—"Could the Wise One of the Darkness Society be a Sluwen Elf?"

"Who is it?" Xia Shao asked immediately without hesitation.

Xiyierlante's first reaction was that it was impossible, but seeing Xia Shao's serious expression, and at the same time being a prisoner himself, he had to seriously consider this possibility.

"A Wood Elf prophet? And a very powerful one? How is that possible!"

"There are no others, only Feidisi, but I do know some of the other disciples under Feidisi. Among them is a high-level Mage; although he has always hidden himself very well, some characteristics cannot be hidden by mere surface concealment. I know his real-world identity!"

Thinking of this, Xia Shao asked Xiyierlante again: "Do you know if Sluwen has a very powerful Wood Elf prophet?"

"I almost forgot, the Wood Elf prophet I mentioned is not from the current era; he may have lived for a very long time, perhaps even longer than Yilisier Mianwang! Think about it again!"

It was a pity that among the nations in the Northland, Sluwen's hostility toward the Darkness Society was second only to Sluwen, and being exiled to Bokelai, he feared that the Sluwen side would not agree; otherwise, Bokelai would indeed have been a good choice.

As for the remaining Bokelai, Xiyierlante had not failed to consider it, and had even ranked it ahead of Evereska; as long as he actively took a stand with Yilisier Mianwang and only sought survival, it would be no problem at all, and even going a step further was not impossible.

Thinking of this, Xiyierlante was also frightened by his own thought; if that were really the case, Sluwen would truly be disaster-stricken!

Xia Shao added some information; according to his speculation, the Darkness Society appeared very early, and as for the Wise One, he was not sure if the person had been replaced, but he could make such a conjecture.

Therefore, his words were not deceiving Xifansansite; as long as the other party was willing to cooperate, he still had the authority to put in a good word for them during the Alliance's final ruling.

It was just that Xiyierlante's attitude was so proactive that it made Xia Shao somewhat hesitant, but adhering to the principle that having something is better than having nothing, he thought for a moment and continued to ask:

"Almolin?"

Hearing Xia Shao's promise, Xifansansite breathed a sigh of relief again; if Xia Shao had promised to guarantee his life completely, he would have suspected the other party's sincerity instead. Since that was the case—

Others like Shaerwen and Yierfalan were also within his scope of consideration, but he ultimately gave up, as those nations of the Upper People could not truly accept his family.

Evereska's national strength was not the best, but it was open enough, making it most suitable for an exiled family to accumulate strength.

And Xia Shao's repeated questioning also raised the importance of this issue for Xiyierlante by another level, which also meant that he might be able to obtain a higher chance of survival for his family by answering this question.

"I can represent the Alliance, but I cannot guarantee whether your crimes can be lightened, but I promise I will try my best to mediate for you."

At the same time, he also felt a trace of curiosity about this Wood Elf prophet; being able to be valued so highly by the Alliance, they might just be an important figure in the Darkness Society.

"This—"

Xiyierlante thought and thought but could not think of such a possibility, and he told Xia Shao: "I know every prophet in Sluwen, and none of them are Wood Elves! Could it be from another nation?"

And as for Keman, if it were in its heyday, it should actually have been the best choice, but it was a pity that the current Keman, after constant harassment and encroachment by Sluwen, was far from its former strength.

Xia Shao had heard this name, but it was not that familiar; at the very least, he could be certain that he had never dealt with the person. Carefully tracing his memory, Xia Shao finally locked onto Almolin's identity.

Xia Shao currently had two identities in the Alliance: one was an Alliance Consultant, and the other was the head of an organization subordinate to the Alliance. The former could not represent the Alliance, but the latter could.
