Chapter 3314: The Choice of Evereska

Next, Xia Duo and Taide acted separately. Taide and his subordinates stayed in Yongle City for the time being, waiting for Ambassador Tili'ao to send people over, and then they would lead them to the Underdark.

As for Xia Duo, he took the Divine Envoy Richi, who had transformed into a human Mage, and set foot on the secret passage to Yierlan; calling it a secret passage was actually just sneaking into the territory.

On the way, Xia Duo received a Sending from Laruian. After discussion, the Evereska side had made a decision: they wanted to continue staying around Yongle City until the Mythallar renovation was completed.

Xia Duo was not surprised by this decision, because the foreseeable situation right now was that once Evereska returned to the surface, the Alliance would almost 100% find a way to expand the City Mythallar Permission they had previously occupied in Evereska.

The excuse was even ready-made—helping Evereska repair the Mythallar, just like before, without changing a single word!

As a nation with long-term development expectations, Evereska certainly could not let such a situation continue to develop, and would definitely find an opportunity to reclaim the Mythallar Permission, or renovate the Mythallar, so as to obtain higher autonomy.

And right now was an excellent opportunity; if they missed this time, it was hard to say whether there would be such a good opportunity in the future.

Therefore, even if continuing to stay near Yongle City might carry the risk of being attacked, the Evereska side still made this choice, which had a bit of a "give me liberty, or give me death" meaning to it!

However, the Elders of Evereska were not all stubborn blockheads. While making the decision to stay around Yongle City, they also put forward a request to Xia Shao—

Hoping that when necessary, they would be allowed to let Evereska Commoners temporarily retreat into Yongle City for refuge.

……

When it comes to flux per unit of time, the Teleportation Array is superior. As long as the Access Key is known, anyone can teleport over, and it even requires a Teleportation Array.

On the road, Waiqi also repeatedly locked onto the position of the Moonshadow Family through the Holy Book. In order to obtain more accurate Positioning, Xia Shao even led Waiqi to take a few detours, so as to obtain more angles of Perception.

But that is the Unified Mythallar; its main function is to integrate other Mythallars within the territory, and monitoring and Protection are merely incidental. In fact, before the Unified Mythallar was built, the borders that Taiweiman could actually control were just the borders of individual City Mythallars.

And multiple different directions of Perception converged at one point, and that point was Yierlansa, which Xia Shao actually did not want to see at all!

Compared to a Portal, the construction of a Teleportation Array is also easier and less time-consuming. Of course, for the current Evereska, there is only the Teleportation Array method to choose from.

"Of course it is the vast majority of the members of the Moonshadow Family. After all, the other party to the contract is the Moonshadow Family, not a certain member of that family."

Divine Envoy Waiqi repeated his target of pursuit again. He actually did not quite understand why Xia Shao cared so much about whether it was the vast majority of members or just one member; as long as one is found, can't the others be found too?

Ending the communication with Laruian, Xia Shao and Divine Envoy Waiqi continued to advance toward the direction of Taiweiman in the northwest of Evereska.

It is only necessary to deploy Teleportation Arrays in various urban areas of Evereska in advance, and notify them when evacuation is needed, so they can evacuate quickly.

Coming out of Evereska, it took ten hours in total, and Xia Shao finally saw the ridge and tall trees where Yierlansa was located, but at the same time discovered a fact he had foreseen on the road—

Regarding such a situation, he could only silently sigh in his heart that the Darkness Society causes great harm, while simultaneously quickening his pace toward Yierlansa.

The Magic Array just allows multiple people to teleport at the same time, and does not require knowledge of Teleportation Spells. For the urgent need of evacuating a large number of Commoners in a short time, the Teleportation Array is the optimal solution.

"The distance is a bit close now, and the interference from mortal Magic has become exceptionally strong. If you want accurate Positioning, you need to at least break through this layer of Jieti Protection that is heavily blockaded."

And the City Mythallar of Yierlansa is such an existence; whether in the past or present, it is sufficient to monitor the entry and exit of any individual.

Xia Shao remained silent, and Waiqi did not take the initiative to start a conversation; the two just kept walking silently.

Now it is just going a step further on the previous foundation, trying to find loopholes and exploit them.

The former, because it is fundamentally impossible to monitor the entry and exit of every individual life, as long as one is not too conspicuous, sneaking into the territory is no problem at all. The territory of Taiweiman is not small, and the border line is so long, how could it be possible to arrange live monitoring everywhere.

After all, it is impossible for Xia Shao to build them many—enough Portals to evacuate millions of Evereska Commoners in a short time. That is reality; even if he were willing, time might not necessarily permit it.

What if the target Divine Envoy Waiqi locked onto was the Elf who originally signed the contract with him? Then, it would not be strange for an Elf who has grown legs to run anywhere. In that case, Yierlansa would not be the worst-case scenario.

The reason it is a Teleportation Array is that while a Portal is certainly safer, it cannot achieve many-to-one teleportation. For a scenario like Evereska's pre-planned emergency evacuation of Commoners for refuge, a Portal is not very suitable.

And it has to be fast, because Xia Shao has already started tracking the Moonshadow Family, and the final decisive battle could break out suddenly at any time. Xia Shao also hinted at this, just not knowing if Laruian could understand it.

While passing through those cities, he clearly felt that those cities were in a state of martial law, and in some individual cities, there were even soaring flames that lasted for a long time.

Xia Shao pondered, his mind spinning rapidly. The City Mythallar of Yierlansa and the Unified Mythallar covering the territory of Taiweiman are completely different in terms of the intensity of protection against individuals.

"Divine Envoy Waiqi, are you locking onto the Moonshadow Family member who originally signed the contract with me, or the vast majority of the Moonshadow Family?" Although he already knew the answer, Xia Shao still asked, somewhat unwilling to give up.

Xia Shao expressed his agreement to this and provided Evereska with a long-term Access Key to a Public Teleportation Array within Yongle City, allowing the Evereska Elves to head to Yongle City at any time while the key is valid.

"So that's how it is!"

……

Although Xia Shao had consciously avoided the large and small cities of Taiweiman along the way, there were always ones he could not avoid. Regarding those cities, Xia Shao did not have much fear, he just did not want to cause trouble.

Even if it is live monitoring, it must rely on the functions of the Mythallar itself, rather than letting Mages cast spells themselves to maintain Warning Magic 24 hours a day.

When Xia Shao came, he thought about seeing if he could find Mythallar loopholes, and then let him and Divine Envoy Waiqi sneak in. After all, when he came to Yierlansa before, out of habit, he had conducted a certain degree of investigation on the Yierlansa Mythallar.

Yierlansa is also under martial law!

"Divine Envoy Waiqi, can you confirm if the Moonshadow Family is on that tree?" Xia Shao asked.
