Chapter 3315: Infiltrating Taiweimansa

However, after actually arriving near Taiweimansa, Xia Duo realized that he had previously thought of discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities too simply.

If Taiweimansa were not under martial law, he might have been able to try, but the current Taiweimansa is in a state of martial law; the analogous scenario is like—

On Earth, attempting to hack a website while the administrator is online and in a state of high alert.

In such a situation, if it were a small personal website, it might indeed succeed, but for a formal, large-scale website, the possibility of success is extremely slim.

The situation Xia Duo is facing now is the same; the Taiweimansa Mythallar, having been continuously updated and perfected by Yierlan Mages for countless years, would first of all have the exploitable vulnerabilities reduced to a minimum.

Secondly, any attempt to intrude cannot bypass the step of linking to the Mythallar, and one must commit illegal acts to analyze where the Mythallar's vulnerabilities lie from its feedback.

But when Taiweimansa is under martial law, those with relevant permissions for the Mythallar are undoubtedly the most sensitive to such intrusion attempts; Xia Duo will not gamble on poor internal communication within Yierlan to let him succeed in a sneak attack.

Once such a matter is exposed, it could be said to be a huge blow to the reputation he has managed for so long!

This is different from his current covert entry; his so-called covert entry is merely low-profile action. In reality, he has an entry permit, and from the moment he obtained it, he reported his itinerary to the Yierlan side.

Taiweimansa is a stop on my itinerary, and the reason is also ready-made: it is not just to go to the Fanxing Library to look up information. Later, when Aosi sent someone to deliver the entry permit to me, he also sent the low-level reading permissions for the Fanxing Library along with it.

Therefore, recalling dispatched personnel or even allowing these Netherese Merchants to take temporary refuge at the embassy due to the turmoil in Li Jie is actually a very reasonable and correct thing to do.

And although this private Airport attached to the small Netheril Embassy in Yierlansa has the permission to accept teleportation, who says that one can only enter Yierlansa through teleportation?

Or more accurately, it is wanting to use that private Airport that Samisuo granted to the Netheril Embassy long ago, which can be called a Mythallar!

But right now, Samisuo is in the midst of internal strife; who knows if radicals will take action against humans with obvious characteristics?

Generally speaking, airports all have the permission to accept teleportation, but because Yierlansa is the capital, only a few public airports and the private Teleportation Arrays or Portals of high-ranking families can accept teleportation.

Flying over directly is also entering; this is a natural protection loophole.

Xia Shao hadn't thought there would be this turn of events, but thinking about it carefully, it is quite reasonable. Those so-called dispatched specialists are actually legal intelligence personnel; they usually operate within Yierlan territory under the guise of merchants or tourists.

Or perhaps they will just stop playing and choose to perish together with the Northland?

Of course they know, but the Yierlan side also does this, and even assigns information-gathering tasks to those ordinary Elves traveling to Netheril or other countries.

If the Moonshadow Family loses contact, what will the reaction of the Darkness Society be? Will they continue to endure and hide to maintain the secret progress of the Time-Involving Ritual that has undergone signal delay, or will they trigger more chaos in the Northland to stall for time?

Feilifa is a Consultant to the Crown King and must have already reported the agricultural cooperation matters upward, and that prophecy-caster Dafuni, whom Xia Shao suspects is a member of the Darkness Society, is also a Consultant to the Crown King. If there are no surprises, she should also know about this matter.

"So that's how it is, then I will trouble the Ambassador."

Just after Xia Shao contacted Ambassador Fema'ai and spoke about the matter of borrowing the airport, the Ambassador agreed without the slightest hesitation, and even provided Xia Shao with a more covert entry identity—

Under normal circumstances, Netheril cannot open a private airport for others; it is usually just a convenient channel for embassy staff to enter and exit.

Or perhaps they will deliberately create such an incident to provoke the relationship between Samisuo and Netheril, in order to achieve the goal of disrupting the order of the Northland and buying time for them to complete the Time-Involving Ritual!

Give a plausible reason to comfort the other party's nervous psychology, and then let the other party ignore the other things he really wants to do.

What he is not sure about now is—

But arriving a day or two late or early is within reason. As long as there is an entry permit, then he is entering legally.

Xia Shao does not wish to see the worst-case scenario happen, because in that situation, while the Darkness Society would no longer be a threat, the Main Plane would inevitably suffer huge damage. The scene of Space-Time Mist appearing everywhere in the prophecy is still vivid in his mind!

Even if the Darkness Society remains vigilant, it actually doesn't matter. Xia Shao had already prepared for a decisive battle when he came, but he only acted this way to occupy more initiative.

This is the norm for exchanges between countries; under normal circumstances, there is no need to worry about the safety of those intelligence personnel.

Xia Shao certainly cannot take the channel of the high-ranking families of Samisuo. A public airport would be fine, and he could even have teleported directly when he was in Evereska, but that would lose the secrecy.

Besides looking up information, there is also inspecting agricultural cooperation projects. Although the time of arrival is a bit sensitive, happening to come during the internal strife in Samisuo, all matters have traces to follow.

But Xia Shao is not without other contingency plans. In fact, for any rigorous protection mechanism, the biggest loophole is the human with autonomous consciousness, not the mechanism itself.

Although Xia Shao is not embassy staff, as a Councilor of Sevinton, he naturally possesses the permission to use that airport, and regardless of whether he uses it with a public identity or a hidden identity, the embassy side has no right to interfere.

It is just that such a loophole is fixed; once something happens, it is very easy to investigate. It is similar to the real-name internet system in Xia Shao's hometown: freedom is given to you, but if you really say something you shouldn't, they will track you down along the network cable.

If the Darkness Society stops acting, then to a certain extent, he can also completely let go.

Xia Shao is certainly unwilling to go to war with the Darkness Society without being prepared, but would the Darkness Society dare to provoke him without sufficient reason and absolute certainty?

The Darkness Society is currently holding back, wanting to buy time to complete the Time-Involving Ritual. If they show their cards too early, it will be disadvantageous to them instead. Xia Shao is also certain of this point; as long as the Darkness Society is not pushed to the extreme, they will not show their cards too early.

As long as the key person is handled, even the most rigorous mechanism is useless!

"Recently, due to the sudden internal strife in Samisuo, considering the safety of the Netherese in Samisuo, I have already issued a recall order to the embassy specialists dispatched to various parts of Samisuo.

As for the present, wanting to enter Yierlansa by way of invading the Taiweimansa Mythallar to obtain permissions is obviously no longer realistic.

And the key person Xia Shao chose is not some Elf Mage who possesses Taiweimansa Mythallar permissions, but the Netheril Ambassador to Samisuo, Fema'ai.

In this situation, even if the Darkness Society is a bit suspicious, they have such a reason to comfort themselves.

Legally collecting all public information that can be collected, but when such an existence falls into the eyes of the Yierlan Elves, do they not know?

"But for some who are already in a safe state, there is no need to come to Yierlansa; they might encounter danger on the way instead. In this way, it just so happens that two identities can be freed up for Councilor Xia Shao."
