Chapter 3361: The Alliance's Counterattack

————Still working on it, it will take a while~~

The Illuminati with Wisdom, in reality, can also be considered a brand-new organization; it merely borrowed the name of the Illuminati, and its members, tenets, and purpose have almost nothing to do with the Illuminati of ancient times.

The only connection, besides the similar name (similar but different, though both are translated as Illuminati in Netherese), is that the original Wisdom once spent some time in the Illuminati that was worshipped by the common folk, and later, when hiding, they initially hid within the Illuminati as well.

Therefore, in the eyes of many Illuminati members, the origin of the organization can be traced back to a very, very long time ago, but in reality, this is an organization founded by Wisdom by borrowing the past, specifically about 1,400 years ago.

Looking solely at the years since the organization's founding, it can be considered a relatively young organization in the Elf World, where there are countless organizations that have existed for over 1,400 years.

But among the many organizations in the Elf World, when it comes to the one with the greatest influence on the Main Plane, it might just be this young organization founded only 1,400 years ago!

The first-generation Wisdom, just as Xia Duo had guessed at the beginning, was a Wood Elf, and was actually an Apprentice to the Moonshadow Family's prophet!

They were also the Wood Elf Apprentice who, as mentioned previously by the Yierlan Crown King's Consultant Feilifa, snatched away the Moonshadow Family's only heir and fled.

They were also the biological father of the current Wisdom!

It was not until the birth of the family's first prophet that the Moonshadow Family began to rise slowly, but such a rise undoubtedly aroused the covetousness and fear of the remaining lower-ranking families.

Although the Moonshadow Family has a longer history than the country of Ailan, dating back to the Siluwende era, the power of the family itself was not worth mentioning.

The unofficial history records stating that the Wood Elf Apprentice, dissatisfied with the Moonshadow Family's opposition to his marriage to the teacher's daughter, angrily abducted the teacher's daughter, were actually just a play performed on the surface.

As long as one can find the past, it is equivalent to launching a counterattack against the Darkness Society, and it can also provide a shot in the arm for the Alliance Mages who are currently exhausted by the Time-Involving Signal.

Besides some secrets of the Darkness Society, what Kalano can provide that Xia Shao needs most right now is actually the whereabouts of the Moonshadow Family; although the Moonshadow Family is not equal to the Darkness Society, the Moonshadow Family's new hiding place must be inseparable from the Darkness Society.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Darkness Society can have such infiltration power in Ailan; with Wisdom staying by the Crown King's side year-round, what wind could not be blown? What information could not be leaked?

But they were all rejected by Dafuni; to a certain extent, the Moonshadow Family was also implicated by Dafuni's family, because the Darkness Society did not have many followers at the beginning of its establishment, and many actions had to rely on the power of the Maja Family.

And the information in Kalano's memory regarding the Darkness Society and Wisdom goes far beyond that; these merely confirmed Xia Shao's guesses or filled in the blind spots of Xia Shao's conjectures, and what truly made Xia Shao feel incomparably shocked was—

However, regarding the Darkness Society's Helien Birth Plan, Kalano, as the nephew of the Darkness Society's leader Wisdom, actually could not understand it very well either.

The unofficial history records he had seen before in the Taiweimansa Fanxing Library were actually confirmed here from Kalano's memory!

Of course, the Moonshadow Family also gained many benefits in this process, which became the strongest driving force for their continuous growth.

In other words, the son of a high-level Mage actually died in an accident during a normal hunting activity.

As for the current Wisdom of the Illuminati, they are undoubtedly the Yierlan Crown King's Consultant—the prophet Dafuni—whom Xia Duo had met before in Taiweimansa!

And their son-in-law was the first-generation Wisdom, that Wood Elf who possessed the talent of a prophet.

Even if the development had been slower than it is now, at the very least, it would not have ended in the entire family fleeing and then still being liquidated.

Isn't it just an organization founded only 1,400 years ago? Just get it done!

I am afraid no high-level Mage could accept such a result, and the Moonshadow Family's prophet, who was also Kalano's great-grandfather, certainly could not accept such a result either.

Otherwise, always responding passively, even if one can occasionally achieve certain local victories, is not good for morale; morale must be boosted as soon as possible!

He did not know why his aunt was so concerned about this plan; in his understanding, the purpose of the Darkness Society's establishment should be for the revival and rise of the Moonshadow Family, not some inexplicable Helien Birth Plan.

Unlike other Darkness Society members Xia Duo had come into contact with, Kalano was not interested in the Darkness Society's so-called Helien Birth Plan, and even raised objections in front of Dafuni many times.

It was just that Yierlan did not know that Dafuni was the granddaughter of that original prophet, and even after the Moonshadow Family's incident broke out, he still held Dafuni in high regard.

Thus, the prophet's son actually died at the hands of prey because of a normal hunting activity; in the Elf World, prophets are not necessarily all high-level Mages, but named and famous prophets are almost 100% high-level Mages.

So he made a decision to place the hope of the family's revival on the third generation, which was the next generation of the only remaining daughter and son-in-law.

The reality, however, was—the couple ran away under the arrangement of the prophet father and father-in-law.

And she also had another identity; in the Moonshadow Family, she was also Kalano's aunt!

Later, Yierlan was born with a vision; although he did not show wisdom far exceeding ordinary people during his growth, because of the existence of that prophecy, his succession to the throne had almost no twists and turns, and he succeeded to the throne very smoothly.

But just sending away the hope for the future was not enough; the Moonshadow Family still needed more guarantees, so the prophet set his sights on the Crown King who was already losing all popular support at the time.

……

From being exiled by Siluwende, to leading heroes to establish Shaerwen, and then leading new heroes to leave Shaerwen to establish Ailan, the family itself had never been able to grow much.

Under such circumstances, the Maja Family was equivalent to being bound to the Crown King; later, Dafuni appeared, and because she continued the original prophecy, she gained Yierlan's appreciation.

After a night of analysis, although there were still many questions, at least the mysterious halo that had always been on the Darkness Society had been broken by more than half.

Because of this prophecy, the crown was able to be passed down in the current Crown King Family; otherwise, given the reputation of the previous Crown King, he would have been driven off the throne nine times out of ten before he passed away.

He racked his brains and, at the cost of his own life, made a prophecy, prophesying that a king who could lead Ailan to unprecedented glory was about to be born in the Crown King Family, which is the current Crown King Yierlan.

But in reality, if that Wood Elf Apprentice had really abducted Dafuni's mother, rather than it being the prophet's scheme, the Moonshadow Family's ending might have been better.
