Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2028
Sure enough, after Xia Duo asked, Alexa showed a proud expression on his face that could be called "Everyone is drunk and I am sober":

"Ilfaran can barely be said to have achieved the co-prosperity of the five races, in a relatively different way, but the co-prosperity of the five races is only the beginning.

"The foundation of a country and civilization is an independent people. Only by making the people truly equal can we truly release this unparalleled power and embark on the road to true prosperity!"

"Everyone is equal!"

Xia Duo never thought that this sentence would come from the mouth of a high-ranking mage, or that it would be difficult for any spellcaster to give up the various privileges he had gained due to his strength.

But this is said by an elf, but it is not so contradictory, because the "Tequith" that the elves call themselves refers to the people in the elf language-a collection of countless individuals.

Even now, major ceremonies, literary works or slogans of the elves are often named in the name of "the people".

only--

Did Alexa really think so?

A vested interest person who has been influenced by the old environment for countless years suddenly said that everyone should be equal. It is hard not to make people wonder if there is some other conspiracy behind it.

In addition, only Xia Duo thought of it. The existence behind the demons is really terrifying. A high-ranking mage has successfully brainwashed so easily. Perhaps Alexa may have this tendency, but to make him betray the class so thoroughly, Just thinking about it is extremely difficult.

There's an Alexa, so what about Luke?Is it the same?Even apart from these two high-level mages, are there any high-level mages who have been instigated by the elves?

For a moment, Xia Duo even felt that the demons had already succeeded. Maybe one day when he woke up, the countries in the Northland would change their flags one after another!

But no matter from his own standpoint or perception, he does not agree with such an approach.

It is very simple to destroy the body, but it is extremely difficult to completely destroy a thought. After thinking about it, Xia Duo continued to ask Alexa:
"So your purpose is to transform all the people of the Northland into demons? Then you think this way can get the 'everyone is equal' you want?"

"why not?"

"Have you ever thought about the wishes of the people themselves? Are they turned into demons for a reason? Is this one of the rights of 'everyone is equal'? In addition, no matter how safe the process of transforming demons is, the blood of demons is involved in the abyss after all. Just like the abyss under our feet, have you considered that it may become a common landscape in the Northland in the future?"

A series of questions from Xia Duo made Alexa a little overwhelmed, but calmed down, he still insisted on his point of view: "The people are ignorant and cannot see the long-term future. They need us who can see to plan for them. As for the possible danger of the abyss, I think it's just a technical problem, and it can be completely overcome in the future."

When he heard the words "the people are ignorant", Xia Duo realized that Alexa might not be the real companion behind the demons, but still a tool man.

Of course, it does not rule out that the existence behind the demons is not the parallel time-space demons that Xia Duo learned about in the projection plane. At least from their various methods, they do not have the kind of atmosphere and confidence of parallel time-space demons.

Thinking in this way, Xia Duo didn't have much interest in talking, left a sentence "The people are not stupid", then ignored Su Weiris' pleading eyes, and completely banned Alexa again.

And sent to Floating Void City on the spot, together with other demon descendants who were lucky enough to survive. As for Luke, who only had a big head left, Xia Duo thought about it and put it away.

……

From the conversation just now, everyone present could see that it might not be feasible for Alexa to cooperate with the purification of the abyss.

As Su Weilis who has a better understanding of Alexa's mind, he understands this better, but he can't figure out why Alexa became what he is now, so how can he explain it to the crown king when he goes back!

There is also the accountability of the Northland Alliance. Fortunately, Yeerlan is at the bottom, otherwise Su Weilisi really has the urge to destroy Alexa on the spot regardless of everything.

"Lord Xia Duo, shall we continue to investigate this secret palace, or should we end this trip?"

Xia Duo didn't answer directly, but threw the question to Tai Lun. He can't do this kind of thing by himself. For the time being, Tai Lun is still the commander of this trip.

But Tai Lun didn't hesitate much, immediately agreed, and said: "I have notified the headquarters of the Northland Alliance, there should be reinforcements there, let's investigate before that!
"Mage Costa, consultant Suweilis, you stay here and talk to me, I just have some questions and ask the two of you for advice.

"The investigation of this Devil's Secret Palace is entrusted to Lord Xiaduo, Master Pullman, and Elder Larian!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed. Tai Lun obviously still didn't trust Yeerlan and Comanso. He suspected that the two countries had an affair with the demons, and they were not even allowed to participate in the investigation of the secret palace.

Costa is now trying to be low-key and stable, and has no complaints. Only Suviris, he is really worried that Alexa has left some clues that are not good for Cormanthor in the secret hall.

But now that everyone is looking at him, it is not easy for Suweiris to object clearly. He just pretended to listen carefully, but in fact he did not give up the investigation. response.

Of course, Tai Lun couldn't hide this little trick, and everyone present didn't expose it, but let him cast spells. Only Tai Lun was ready to organize at any time.

……

On-site investigation, there is no doubt that Xia Duo and Pullman, who have searched the secret base of the demons before, have an advantage. When Larian was still hesitating where to start, Xia Duo and Pullman had already identified the target and headed towards the suspected library. The room flew away.

After entering the room, Pullman interrogated Xia Duo privately: "How much do you think what Alexa just said is true?"

"I don't know, maybe it's all true or it's all false, but what does it matter, let's just treat him as telling the truth. It's time for the Northern Alliance to pay attention to the threat of the demons."

In the past, the elves were only demons, which is no different from the past. It is just a temporary illness. As long as the countries are a little more serious, it will be resolved soon.

But now if it involves "transformation of all people" and "equality for all", then the demons are not just a temporary illness. There are many wise men in the upper elves, and they should be able to see the threat.

It's just that Xia Duo hopes that the elf countries can solve the threat of the demons first, and then fight among themselves. If they deal with the threat of the demons while fighting among themselves, they may be exploited by the demons!
……

The search process went very smoothly. This demon-born secret hall has just gone through two rounds of attacks from the Floating Void City, the first round of which even damaged the core functional components.

Xia Duo broke all the protections of the secret halls with almost no effort, and he did not force the few more cumbersome ones, but directly contacted the floating city and used [Light of Annihilation] to forcibly demolish them.

In about an hour or so, Xia Duo transferred all the items that could be transferred to Hengchun Square in the Floating City, and picked up Tai Lun and they returned to the Floating City together.

As for the ruins of the secret hall, new investigators from the Northland Alliance will conduct a more detailed inspection. After that, they will stay there. In addition to investigating the secret hall, what is more important is to monitor the expansion of the abyss.
