Although they are now also attempting to introduce countries outside the Northland, such as Xinnaliya and Beilunuo, to join, Xinnaliya and Beilunuo are adjacent to the Northland; it is merely that the ocean span is somewhat further, so they can still be counted within the scope of the Northland.

It is just like a circle; if the diameter expands a little, it is still a circle.

But the Southern Continent is different; there are other forces separated between it and the Northland, just like drawing another circle outside the circle, which breaks through the pattern of the circle itself.

At that time, the name "Northland Alliance" will also face an update; otherwise, the name "Northland" will become a shackle.

……

Through Dali's memories, Xia Duo learned more inside information about Beilunuo. Of course, what he cared about most was how Dali connected with the Illuminati, a point that also occupied a significant portion of Dali's memories.

This matter can be traced back to the time when the previous Supreme Elder of Evereska was assassinated, and it was also from that time that the Illuminati could be considered to have officially entered the Alliance's field of vision.

Xia Duo played a quite critical role in this, and the reason Dali sought out the Illuminati was not to find the Illuminati at first, but because he heard that the various countries of the Northland had formed an Alliance, and for the sake of Beilunuo's future development, he wanted to find some opponents within the Alliance to cause some trouble for the Alliance.

And this matter was not a secret in Beilunuo, but rather something the Tide Queen and the five Consultants had discussed together; it was just that Dali had only been to the Northland once, and he did not go publicly again afterward.

It is hard to say whether his luck was good or bad; in that single opportunity to head to the Northland to verify intelligence, he actually found the traces of the Illuminati.

And the reason Dali was able to discover the traces of the Illuminati was inseparable from his identity as a Land Walker. In order to adapt to the land environment, Land Walkers have undergone extensive training, and these trainings have a side effect: it makes their Perception ability far exceed that of ordinary Sea Elves.

Not to mention, Dali was also an outstanding one among the Land Walkers, even more prominent in terms of Perception ability; he directly found a Demon Descendant and demanded to speak with the Demon Descendant's superior.

How that Demon Descendant reported to the higher-ups, and how this matter reached the ears of the Wise One Dafuni, Dali himself did not know very well.

But after he found that Demon Descendant, only less than two days passed before Dafuni found him and even called out his true identity in one breath.

At that time, Dali almost started a fight, but he was easily suppressed by Dafuni. At that time, Dafuni was still meeting Dali in the identity of a Demon Descendant, while Dali was a Sea Elf.

Both were victims of the ancient war, just that one was earlier and one was later, and both sides held resentment toward the Land Elf.

Under the deliberate Guidance of Dafuni, a prophet, Dali was quickly attracted by the vision described by Dafuni.

A brand-new world with only Demon Descendants—although there were no Sea Elves in the new world either, after these years of struggling to survive on the seabed as if in exile, too many Sea Elves had reflected on the choices of their ancestors back then.

Dali was one of them; he was very dissatisfied that his ancestors had transformed themselves into Sea Elves, and in the end, although they won the war, they still lost the future.

Therefore, like many Sea Elves, Dali also deeply loathed his own race; transforming into a Demon Descendant was not something unacceptable to him.

On the contrary, if a Demon Descendant could allow him to return to the land, or even take back everything his ancestors had once lost, then he would be willing to transform into a Demon Descendant.

It was just that Dafuni's words still needed verification, and it was impossible for Dali to trust the other party upon the first meeting, but the seed had already been planted, and the rest was just waiting for it to take root and sprout.

The subsequent frequent activities of the Illuminati in the Northland were irrigating and fertilizing the seed in Dali's heart, until the Northland Alliance conducted a comprehensive inspection of potential Demon Descendants; from the surface, the Illuminati fell completely into a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Northland Alliance.

As an outsider, Dali still felt indignant about this, so he took the initiative to contact Dafuni to provide help, but Dafuni did not ask Dali to do anything.

It was not until after the Ailan attack incident that Dafuni requested assistance from Dali for the first time. Dali did not refuse, and he even directly provided a team of Land Walkers to serve under Dafuni.

Just like that, one after another, they provided four batches in total, totaling three senior Mages and thirty-seven Elite Mages; this number was not an exaggerated figure in Beilunuo, where everyone is a Mage.

But placed under Dali's command, without arousing the suspicion of the Queen and other Consultants, these forty Mages were already the limit that Dali could draw out.

This was Dali's own judgment that Xia Duo parsed from Dali's memories. Xia Duo believed that Dali should not be deceiving himself; of course, how the actual situation compared to Dali's own cognition should still have a certain deviation.

But that was basically the meaning; Dali himself believed that he had already tried his best.

The last meeting between Dali and Dafuni that Xia Duo initially retrieved was when he went to send the last batch of Land Walkers ashore.

Regarding where Dafuni would use these Land Walkers, Dali naturally would not fail to ask, and Dafuni's answer was also very firm: they were to be used in the ultimate ritual.

In the decisive battle with the Northland Alliance, the Illuminati created so many real or fake Time-Involving Signals that manpower was bound to be tight; even with the blessing of Time Line tactics, they might not be able to cover the whole field.

Plus, Xia Duo staked his entire reputation to demand that the Alliance thoroughly investigate prophets; although the various countries did not directly control the prophets and their families, they did strengthen surveillance.

Under such circumstances, the manpower the Illuminati could mobilize would be even fewer.

Of course, correspondingly, the Alliance would also have more forces tied up because of this. Before the result of the decisive battle came out, no one could say for sure what the gains and losses were, but Xia Duo estimated that the Illuminati should still have a slight upper hand.

And the Sea Elf reinforcements were an off-board move on the chessboard of the Northland; before the Sea Elves were discovered, no one knew there was still such a fresh force.

If Xia Duo were Dafuni, he would also likely make the choice to use this fresh force in the core ritual.

So where exactly is the core ritual?

Regarding such key information concerning the victory or defeat of the decisive battle and the success or failure of the plan, Dafuni would certainly not tell Dali. In fact, Dali never asked at all; he knew that it was impossible for Dafuni to reveal such key information to him, so he simply did not ask.

But out of a Mage's instinct, he still could not help but want to explore where Dafuni and the Illuminati's trump cards were hidden, only he did not find any useful clues.

This question eventually ended up with nothing, but that was Dali; Dali himself, after exploring, truly believed that he had not found any useful clues, and the clue was actually hidden in Dali's memories.

It was just that Dali himself did not realize it; now that it was Xia Duo's turn to search Dali's memories, although he did not notice it at first either.

But searching for clues about the Illuminati was his main purpose after all, so he naturally would check the key parts of Dali's memories one by one, and thus he checked to a piece of Perception information that had been ignored by Dali.
