Chapter 3316: Locking onto the Sha La Fei Ma Ai Giant Tree

~7 min read 1,361 words

Originally, Xia Duo only intended to ask Fema'ai for a transit permission for the embassy's private airport, but he did not expect Fema'ai to even prepare a disguised identity for him.

Under these circumstances, he was certainly not so pretentious as to refuse, and as for what would happen to the two people whose identities he had used, based on his brief contact with Fema'ai earlier, he could trust that the other party would definitely be able to handle it well.

Soon, Xia Duo met the embassy commissioner sent by Fema'ai to deliver the identity documents and related credentials near a small town south of Taiweimansa; the documents were not sent out from Taiweimansa city, but had been prepared elsewhere in advance.

This also confirmed Xia Duo's guess: Fema'ai had long ago prepared an unknown number of legal virtual identities, ready at any time for use by dispatched embassy commissioners or any other of their own people who might need them.

Upon meeting the embassy commissioner who delivered the documents, Xia Duo asked with concern: "Now that you have come to deliver the documents to us, where are you going next?"

"Just to the nearby citadel of Kate Lu Niya; the city council there can still control the situation. In fact, around the entire Taiweimansa, only the situation in Taiweimansa itself is somewhat strange; other places are still relatively stable, nothing more than martial law, and order is still controllable."

The embassy commissioner's answer also resolved one of Xia Duo's doubts; in fact, he did not believe that the Illuminati truly had the ability to instantly plunge all of Yierlan into civil strife and paralysis.

It was nothing more than a possible change in the upper echelons, leading to poor communication between the top and bottom and causing misjudgments. As long as the city councils in various places still recognized the control of the Tian Qin Dai faction, this would not inevitably trigger any major riots, and it would not hurt the foundation.

After a period of time, when the lower-level relationships were sorted out, the turmoil above would naturally subside very slowly. As for the losses caused by the turmoil during that period, these were of course the fault of the enemy, and such a characterization would instead make the people of Taiweimansa more united.

Everything was a conspiracy by external forces; it was not only humans who would use such rhetoric, as Elves were also quite skilled at using it, and one could even say that on the Main Plane, Elves were more adept at this set of tactics than humans.

Although the identity Badge could not be associated with the specific identity of the user, because it could be associated with a specific responsible party, such as an embassy, a tour group, a chamber of commerce, etc., the inspection personnel also recognized this type of non-registered identity Badge.

The so-called Seventon Sa is actually the general name for the city built on those hundred-plus giant trees; in reality, every tree has its own name.

For example, applying to purchase property, opening a shop, or applying for Magic Ship traffic permission, handling travel qualifications to specific cities, and so on.

……

If a more detailed verification method is to be used, then it is eight or nine times out of ten a deliberate attempt to make things difficult.

In other words, one cannot check the identity of embassy personnel outside the embassy, but once the relevant personnel enter the embassy area, even if that person really has a problem, one cannot follow them in to investigate and can only wait for them to leave.

Whether it is teleporting in or teleporting out, at most it is just recording the process, but teleportation itself is very difficult to regulate.

This kind of Badge is not associated with the user's own identity; whoever gets it can use it, but because it is associated with the Netheril Embassy, under normal circumstances, the embassy will not easily hand over identity Badges to irrelevant people.

If that is really the case, then the current Taiweimansa can truly be said to be completely defenseless against the outside.

This is not a problem that can be solved by issuing a document, but rather, if someone really wants to teleport, you have no way to stop them; that is the biggest difficulty.

Xia Duo did not expect that he had just complained about the lack of inspection personnel, and now he was being "visited" by the Mythallar for verification. Normally, this level of identity verification would only appear within the official institutions of Taiweimansa.

As long as there is relevant information, it is also acceptable for others to verify on one's behalf.

Sha La Fei Ma Ai is the tree with the highest trunk in the entire tree cluster; of course, due to the undulations of the mountain ridge itself, Sha La Fei Ma Ai did not become the one closest to the sky.

And these Badges are all produced by the subjects with corresponding qualifications themselves; for example, the Netheril Embassy is qualified to produce identity Badges belonging to Netheril Embassy personnel.

And the Netheril Embassy in Taiweimansa is special in that although the airport cannot receive teleportation, it can teleport out; correspondingly, the Taiweimansa Embassy in Netheril does not possess such particularity.

After all, not everyone who comes to Seventon Sa is a Spellcaster, and not every Spellcaster is willing to personally accept verification.

But regardless, the fact that the embassy area possesses certain privileges is something recognized by all countries in the Northland.

They all exist in situations where the parties involved take the initiative to handle matters with the Taiweimansa officials; some do not need to go to a specific office, while others can be handled "online" through the Mythallar.

And the situation Xia Duo is currently encountering is even more special. Normally, embassies possess diplomatic immunity. The customary practice between Netheril and Taiweimansa in the past was not to conduct investigations inside the embassy.

After obtaining the identity documents, Xia Duo immediately took the Divine Envoy Waiqi and flew toward Sha La Fei Ma Ai; this was the giant tree where the Mianwang Gongting, the Fanxing Library, and the Netheril Embassy were located.

And if this were in the past, it would clearly not be very normal. If a Magic Ship entered the airport, it would be fine even without an inspection, because airports all have inspections, but Xia Duo and Waiqi did not have any vehicles and just flew up directly like that.

If Xia Duo were not coming to the private airport of the Netheril Embassy, but going to other places, would no one care either?

In the process of approaching Sha La Fei Ma Ai, Xia Duo was originally still a bit worried, worried about encountering official inspections from the Seventon Sa side, but until he arrived at the tree branch where the Netheril Embassy was located, he did not encounter a single patrol person.

Thinking this, Xia Duo's expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly performed identity verification in the City Mythallar according to the information indicated in the identity documents; the verification for the Divine Envoy Waiqi was operated by him on their behalf.

Besides this, it is deliberate targeting. In the past, even if one encountered inspection personnel outside, at most one only needed to show a non-registered travel or official business Badge to get by.

This is of course not Taiweimansa giving preferential treatment to Netheril, but rather that in the past, Netheril found it very difficult to conduct perfect teleportation control over Yierlan; for the Elves, it was basically in an unrestricted state.

Later, with the construction of the Erlan Mythallar, the loopholes in this aspect were still not completely plugged; at most, it was just improving monitoring to ensure that every teleportation act was under surveillance.

Or perhaps, is this "entry allowed but exit forbidden" under a state of martial law?

The identity documents and related credentials that Fema'ai just sent someone to deliver included the identity Badge, and the information used to verify identity in the Mythallar was contained within the identity documents.
