Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2022 Catch big fish in succession
When the other elf mages heard that Tai Lun had started to assign missions, they couldn't help but lift up their spirits, including Pullman. Only Xia Duo couldn't help but smile.

Tai Lun noticed this scene, and thought that although the news about the Devil's Secret Palace had been confirmed by several of their countries, it was Xia Duo who first asked about the news, so he hurriedly asked:

"Has Lord Xia Duo discovered anything?"

"There are some discoveries."

Xia Duo nodded and told what he found, which is actually very simple, that is, he heard that the meeting place before the start of this investigation was near Terminos, so he first searched with [Wide Area Detection].

It turned out that there was not even a hair in the place where the magician mage suspected it was the secret hall. If the secret hall was so hidden that even [wide-area detection] couldn't find it, then their efforts in the past were probably in vain.

In addition, these suspicions all come from those captured demon mages, but they themselves are only guessing, and they dare not verify it. Now that the first one has been proven not, what about the follow-up ones?

Will it go empty one after another?

By this time, Xia Duo was actually not very optimistic about this investigation, but he had already said what he promised, and he couldn't easily go back on his word at this moment.

After all, the possibility is not high, but it does not mean that there is no possibility at all. Maybe the second place to go is the Devil's Secret Palace!

But after hearing Xia Duo's findings, Tai Lun did not choose to skip the first suspected location, and the others did not object, so Xia Duo let them do it, as if it was a tacit rehearsal.

……

The first suspected location was not far from the Yeerlan camp in Terminos. It was underground on a small hill. After a few brief discussions, Tyron decided to go around from the etheric plane, and then launch a probe from the etheric plane to the main plane.

In this way, even without any other means of concealment, most of the sensory search magic on the main plane can be avoided. If combined with some more sophisticated means of concealment, even if the opponent is on guard, he can still take the lead in advance. .

In terms of defending against threats from the etheric plane, the elves are not as perfect as Nether mages, and there is a certain gap in their methods.

In fact, the means used to cover up the ether detection this time was provided by the Seven Towers, a field-type evasion detection spell blessed by Pullman for the action team.

The first investigation was very smooth, or it could not be described as "smooth", but "completely fruitless". The first place of suspicion was a pure underground, full of ordinary rocks, and there was no trace of demonic secrets at all. The shadow of the temple.

Not only that, Tai Lun also searched for traces of the past history in that area, and found no doubts. Obviously, the first location was either guessed wrong by the magician mage, or the existence behind the magician had cleaned it up in advance.

But no matter which one, it doesn't make any difference to the action team. It has been cleaned up by the existence behind the demons, and it cannot be confirmed or falsified. It is even said that it may have been wiped out and cleaned up by another force.

In short, the emptying of the first suspected location cast a shadow over the hearts of the team members, including Xia Duo. Although he didn't expect much, he really hoped that Tyron would find something different.

This will not only make this operation rewarding, but also provide some new ideas for the improvement of [Wide Area Detection].

But unfortunately, there was no surprise.

……

Next came the second and third places, both in the mountains outside Evereska, but after careful inspection by the action team, no abnormalities were found.

Not to mention the secret hall of the demon descendants, even the traces of the activities of ordinary creatures were not found.

At this time, even if Xia Duo didn't say anything, the Tai Luns gradually came to their senses, and realized that the next few places of suspicion might not yield anything.

But it's all here, so you can't give up without checking it out.

It's just that in the next action, Tyron and the others were a little careless, except for Pullman, who may have heard from Badigal that Xia Duo was threatening the demons, even if he went empty one after another, he still remained very vigilant .

As for Xia Duo, although he didn't have any hope for the following investigations, he didn't lose his vigilance. Unless he decided to give up on the things in the plan, he would always try his best to complete them with quality and quantity.

Mentally, he was close to giving up, but in action, he did not relax at all. Among other things, there were four high-level elf mages beside him, and this alone made it difficult for him to relax his vigilance.

……

Perhaps it was finally unbearable, and when Tai Lun was about to conduct the seventh exploration, he gave a suggestion: "It's already the seventh place, if there is no result this time, then we will split up for the remaining places Bar!"

"can."

Several elf mages hurriedly agreed, Pullman hesitated and nodded, as for Xia Duo——

"I'm with Lord Pullman, you don't need to worry about me."

"Yes." Tyron came to a conclusion directly, and the other three elves did not object.

Xia Duo was not surprised by this. After all, he was originally a non-staff member of this operation. The elves called him here because they wanted to use the power of the floating city to break through the protection of the secret hall of the demons.

Of course, by the way, you can also spy on the inner workings of the Floating Void City.

But now, several elf mages realized that they are unlikely to gain anything in the future, so the floating city will most likely not be able to play, and it doesn't matter who Xia Duo goes with, or even whether he is there or not.

……

The seventh suspected location is located southeast of Sharwen, inside a sea cliff protruding from the coastline.

As in the previous six inspections, Xia Duo and his party still went around from the ether plane, and then initiated the detection. Just when Xia Duo thought that this time he was empty again like before, Tai Lun's face suddenly changed:
"There is a situation, find magic protection!"

Immediately afterwards, Pullman also changed his face, and quickly reminded: "No, the other party has set up warning magic on the etheric plane, and has already sensed our spying. Mage Tyronn must make a decision!"

"Plan No. 5, Larian, you cooperate with me in teleportation. Suveris and Costa, you eliminate interference and assist us in teleportation. Pullman, you and Lord Shadow are ready to support us."

At the critical moment, Tai Lun did not lose the chain, and quickly issued an order, and several elf mages immediately started to act, and Pullman was also trying to remain hidden to ensure the success of the surprise attack.

As for Xia Duo, although Tai Lun has not asked him to dispatch the floating city to assist in the raid or even act as the main force, he still calculated the approximate coordinates of the target area and quietly communicated with the floating city to "warm up" the transition system.

The next moment, a faint glow projection appeared around the members of the team, on which the approximate detection results of the place suspected to be the secret hall of the demon descendants appeared on the main plane.

Although it is not a real scene, Xia Duo can still see at a glance that it is similar to the structure of the secret base of the demons he raided before. They are all located inside the mountain, with a high-domed circular hall in the middle, connected to multi-layered rooms surrounding the hall.

Among them, dozens of light spots with different sensitivities are distributed in the hall, and about a dozen casters can be vaguely distinguished, two of which are the most conspicuous.

Not only is his aura strong and perfect, but the magic items he carries with him are far more than other spellcasters. The characteristics are so obvious that it can be seen that the high mage has not escaped.

And the target location that Tai Lun is going to transmit happens to be in the high dome hall of that mountain space!
