Chapter 3267: Clues of the Moonshadow Family, Decency
A prophet is a very special profession; Xia Duo absolutely does not believe that a Wood Elf prophet could just pop out of a crack in a rock without any warning.
In reality, to avoid being discovered by the Illuminati, he was unable to conduct field investigations or check records in various countries; otherwise, he might have locked onto the true identity of the Sage long ago.
As for now, although the relevant information is incomplete, given the dual particularity of a Wood Elf prophet, Xia Duo is still more inclined to believe that the Illuminati Sage is that very Wood Elf Apprentice from the legends of Eaerlann!
This would also explain why Eaerlann has been so heavily infiltrated by the Illuminati; the head of the Illuminati is an Eaerlann Elf, and perhaps the Illuminati Headquarters is even in Eaerlann!
It is very likely that the Illuminati started from Eaerlann and continuously spread outward!
Going a step further, Eaerlann suddenly launching a war against Siluwende after many years might have been to bring the Ailan region under its control, making it more convenient to conduct the Time-Involving Ritual.
It was only due to various accidents that the Ailan region eventually became independent.
Perhaps by investigating from within Eaerlann, investigating those Elves who were extremely keen on launching a war against Siluwende, one could also find clues about the Illuminati.
As for the present, although Xibokelaite still has many "treasures" that have not been unearthed, the information provided so far is enough for Xia Duo to lock his target onto Eaerlann.
It is just that the Wood Elf Apprentice from the legend eventually disappeared and never appeared again, which also means the Illuminati Sage likely does not have a public identity.
In this way, all aspects would be accounted for, and the High Mage's family could continue to exist rather than being completely liquidated.
As for Bokelai, in just these few years, more than one High Mage has been killed by their own kind; of course, for the sake of the collective "decency" of the High Mage group, they will not be given the death penalty on the surface, but will instead be allowed to head to Aifanshao on their own.
Of course, besides Xierdalanna, Xia Shao also has his own methods, which is the Sacred Contract he previously signed with the Moonshadow Family; that contract is still in effect to this day.
Given Xiyierlante's various actions after joining the Darkness Society—if he is not lying—he will most likely be executed by the Alliance, but it is hard to say regarding Feiyier.
No matter how impressive one is, one cannot simply erase a Sacred Contract witnessed by the Lord of Radiance; starting from the Sacred Contract, one can also find the Moonshadow Family.
And beneath death, the heaviest punishment for a High Mage is nothing more than exile: paying a large sum of "road money" and taking one's clansmen to live in another country.
……
Of course, there are also those who are completely liquidated; usually, those who are unwilling to be "decent," then the entire High Mage group will make them "decent." In such a situation, there is no longer a chance to head to Aifanshao, so one can only rely on luck.
It is just that this might require asking a Divine Envoy for help, and Xia Shao has already thought of the reason—the Moonshadow Family used Abyssal Power to manufacture the 【Inspiration Light Potion】, which is suspected of spreading Abyssal influence; it is just unknown if the Divine Envoy will accept this reason.
If there were no protection from Evereska, even if he had sent some family members to Evereska in advance, it would be difficult to have a good outcome under the powerful pursuit of Feiyier.
"As for Bokelai, I will also help to mediate; whether it succeeds or not depends on your luck. However, you have caught up with a good time; currently, I have just reached several important collaborations with Feiyier, so my words should have some effect."
"What actions of the Darkness Society has he participated in before? Are there many bloody cases?" Xia Shao asked.
The reason there is even talk of "decency" is merely to prevent the family from being unable to continue after one loses power through such unwritten rules; it is a feeling of fighting without breaking.
"He does not know my identity. Every time I participate in Darkness Society activities, I disguise myself well, including changing my gait. It is impossible for him to recognize me. Of course, if Apostle Feidisi tells him my identity, then I have no way to stop it."
Xia Shao gives his promise again. The information provided by Xiyierlante is very useful; although this information might not be unique and was given by a Consciousness Copy, Xia Shao will still honor his promise.
"Perhaps we can think of a way to start from the Moonshadow Family!"
Speaking of this, Xiyierlante finally reveals a trace of a smile. He looks directly at Xia Shao and says quite proudly: "Do you think we need to be used for ordinary attacks? With our status, we provide more convenience to the Darkness Society in terms of Permission Level, passage, etc., and do not need to do it ourselves. Like this attack on Evereska, it is truly too rare; I have only encountered it once since joining the Darkness Society."
The Alliance indeed will not easily kill any High Mage; this is not only because the relevant rules of the Alliance are imperfect, but also because various countries are unwilling to grant the Alliance the power to kill high-level Spellcasters.
There was even a case not long ago where a high-ranking family was severely punished, and this is exactly what Xiyierlante fears most, which is why he wanted to destroy Cloudtop Tower through the Darkness Society to draw Evereska into the fray.
As for the family, nineteen out of twenty will be completely liquidated. After all, Bokelai is only so big, and no matter how domestic interests are divided, there are more wolves than meat; who doesn't hope to get a larger share?
Of course, the premise of all this is that after I hand over Xiyierlante's main body to the Alliance, this guy's main body doesn't cause any trouble; otherwise, even if I have the heart to intercede, I'm afraid I won't find an opportunity to speak.
Feiyier mastered the true identities of all subordinates, and Feidisi had already escaped before; Xiyierlante cannot guarantee that the other party will not tell others his true identity.
"If Almolin knows my true identity, he might flee, or he might not; it depends on the Alliance's attitude. If the Alliance does not pursue it to the end, Almolin should also be willing to cooperate. If the Alliance wants to kill them all, Almolin will certainly not wait for the Alliance to kill him."
"I don't know very well; Feidisi and we basically have single-line contact. Unless there is some joint action, we might not even meet. As for bloody cases—"
Thus, Xia Shao immediately thought of Xierdalanna; it is just unknown if the other party has given up on the investigation and tracking of the Moonshadow Family in the past two years. If not, perhaps they could cooperate.
Under normal circumstances, there should be a chance to save one's life, but Bokelai has had cases of being infiltrated by the Darkness Society exposed one after another in recent years, and even high-ranking families have not been spared; in such a situation, the punishment will inevitably carry some resentment.
"By the way, does Almolin know your identity? If he knows you have been caught, will he flee?"
Next, Xia Shao chatted with Xiyierlante for a while, mainly about Almolin, another High Mage mentioned earlier who had been infiltrated by the Darkness Society.
"If that is the case, based on my understanding of the Alliance, if Almolin is also willing to cooperate like you, you will most likely not die. The impact of executing a High Mage is too great; the Alliance will not easily open that precedent. Of course, the premise is that Bokelai will not kill you either."
