Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2125 Tuoguxi mentions the plane
But no matter what the final outcome of Tarafu's brother is, the current situation is that the Maired family has been involved, and it is difficult to get rid of it!
Even if everyone knows that this matter has nothing to do with the Maired family, once a war breaks out and the collective interests are severely damaged, can they resist seeking compensation from the Maired family?
When that time really comes, I'm afraid that even the Grand Consul or the Great Emperor, who still have expectations for the Mai Ruide family, will not be able to bear it!
In other words, the Great Emperor and Grand Consul of Calinshan still keep the Maired family for the time being, perhaps just thinking about avoiding war, maybe they still want to go into the water through the Maired family Lachado.

For a while, Xia Duo didn't know what to say, unless he could immediately find evidence to remove the suspicion of the Maired family.

Otherwise, even if Katemir does not go to war with Calimshan, the external pressure brought about by this incident is likely to crush or drag down the Maired family.

So Xia Duo felt that he deserved more money, of course not from the Great Emperor Calinshan or the Grand Consul, but from the Maired family.

"So what exactly does the Maired family need me to do?"

"Of course, what the family hopes most is that Lord Xiaduo can find the real murderer who assassinated the elf prince, or can clearly prove that the Mered family has nothing to do with this matter. But—"

Speaking of this, Tarafu suddenly lost his face, and said with a miserable smile: "But you and I are very clear, how can such a well-planned conspiracy leave too obvious flaws! So, so the real purpose of the family is I hope that Lord Shaduo can take some of my people away from Calimshan."

"Take away some people from the tribe?"

Hearing that such a request turned out to be such, Xia Duo was shocked in his heart. It is obvious that the Mai Ruide family has already made up their minds to sacrifice themselves to eliminate the war.

Perhaps such a decision was made because of persecution or a deal by the great emperor or archon, and of course they may have such a sense of sacrifice themselves, but no matter what the reason is, it will not change some things that may actually happen in reality .

It is true that people have survival instincts, even those who are willing to die, but there are many things in this world that can transcend life and death and transcend rationality. This is the complexity of human nature.

In fact, Xia Duo didn't really want to ask the latter question anymore, after all, what the other party asked largely depended on his subsequent attitude.

As long as he moves his mind a little bit and directly takes the bad idea requested by the Mai Ruide family, there is a high probability that he will be able to swallow the family's final details.

However, human nature is complicated. The Mai Ruide family, which is currently in crisis, may agree to anything, but once they get out of the crisis, will they be willing to pay the price?
Xia Duo doesn't like to test human nature, and would rather agree on the conditions and benefits in advance, or even take it, so it doesn't matter even if he behaves indifferently.

The source spirit of order can have warmth, but order itself is cold and ruthless.

In a sense, this is also the realistic optimal solution he is looking for for his principles of doing things. He is not a person who likes to complicate problems, nor is he a person who pursues extreme maximization of interests.

If there is less tugging and less temptation, it is completely acceptable to gain a little less for this.

……

In the following bargaining session, Talaf did not disappoint Xia Duo, or the other party had already made relevant preparations when he came to see him.

As soon as he spoke, Taraph decisively took out a bright silver ring embellished with sapphires from his wide sleeve, and handed it to him with both hands:

"Lord Xiaduo, this is a sympathy from the Maired family. Thank you for your dedication to this matter. No matter what the final result of this matter is, you will be the best friend of the Maired family!"

Xia Duo took the ring, and almost immediately felt the synchronous trend of the magic net that echoed his own blood. This was the first time he had seen such a magic item that matched his blood.

Following his inner intuition, Xia Duo brought the ring to the index finger of his left hand, and then rubbed the sapphire on the outer surface of the ring twice with his thumb.

The next moment, a white fortress with a typical Calimshan pointed arch vault style appeared in Xia Duo's perception.

"This—" Xia Duo almost exclaimed.

Originally, he thought that the other party might just hand him a magical item with a specific symbolic meaning, or just a storage item, but he didn't expect it to be a mobile fortress built in the whistling winds of the elemental plane!

Although it cannot cross planes, or even move independently, the fact that it is built on the elemental plane shows that it must be worth a lot of money.

Not to mention, this is not an empty fortress, it is almost filled with all kinds of valuables, gold, gems, refined weapons, equipment, paintings, sculptures.

Of course, if it's just these things, for Xia Duo, it's just a little bit of money, including the fortress built on the elemental plane.

What really moved him was that there was a small library that was almost full of books in the fortress. Even if there was water in it, there must be at least this many!

Seeing this, Xia Duo was almost certain that the ring of the foreign world fortress should be one of the foundations of the Merede family. Fumbling for the ring body on the index finger of his left hand, he felt that the pressure in front of him was even greater.

But no matter what, just a primitive plane of wind element is worth his shot, not to mention the house full of treasures, which is hard for him to refuse.

……

"Do you have any suggestions for the next course of action?"

Xia Duo is a man of action, but after all, Calimshan is a strange environment, with strange rules and strange relationships, so he wants to hear the advice of a local, Talaf.

Perhaps because Xia Duo didn't expect Xia Duo to enter the state so quickly, Talaf was stunned for a few seconds at first, and then a gleam of joy, hope and even a fighting spirit burst out of his eyes!
"Lord Xiaduo, Katemir has re-sent envoys to investigate. What you need most now is to obtain an identity that can participate in this matter. It is not enough to be a friend or guest of the Maired family."

"Then what identity do you need to be eligible to participate?"

"Northern Alliance observers are good!" Talaf said his identity without hesitation.

Hearing this, Xia Duo suddenly understood, the feelings are still waiting for him here!He wasn't sure if it was Talaf's real suggestion, or if it was at the behest of the Archon of Calimshan.

When meeting with Grand Consul Fahd before, the other party had proposed the idea of ​​​​wanting the Northern Alliance to cooperate, but he was perfunctory at the time.

So now that Talaf proposed to let him get the status of an observer of the Northland Alliance, it is difficult not to let him associate it.
