Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2134 New Directions
After thinking about it carefully, Xia Duo still felt that it was unlikely that King Katemir was the mastermind of the assassination. At most, he might have allowed some hidden dangers, which contributed to the current assassination of Prince Sith.

And there is another problem here. Katemir has been silent for a long time in the past, and this period of time has even covered the entire reign of the King Hygnas.

This means that the crowned king of Hygnas has a relatively negative and evasive attitude towards a considerable part of the situation in the south.

At the same time, due to the "tradition" in the south - the assassination of a prince at worst will also disintegrate the alliance, and if it is serious, it will directly start a war.

Is Ketmill really ready for it?
Is it really possible for the crowned king of Hygnas to actively seek war at the age of death at any time?
Xia Duo observed from the previous attitudes of Irati and Esther, and he didn't think Ketmil had a strong desire to start a war, otherwise the fight could start now without having to re-investigate again and again.

So he asked Boleyn again: "What was the political opinion of the Prince of Sith when he was in Katemere?"

"He advocated peace with neighboring countries, especially Calimshan, which is next to them. Not only that, but the Sith prince also hoped that Katemir would actively participate in southern affairs, trying to establish a Southern Alliance relative to the Northern Alliance. "

After Bolin finished speaking, his expression was very complicated, but General Hashem on the side spoke for him, "Although I am not optimistic about the so-called Southern Alliance, at least the truce is what we hope for. The countries in the South have been fighting for too long. I'm too tired, it's time to take a break!

"That's why the great Sil Pasha valued that Sith prince so much, and regarded it as an important bridge to improve the relationship between the two countries, so he ordered that all the territories along the way be warmly received, but for some reason, the Sith prince only He stayed here for a short time, and it was precisely because of this stop that he stayed here forever!"

"..."

Xia Duo didn't know how to answer the conversation, he could only say that he agreed with what General Hashim said earlier.

He is also not optimistic about the so-called Southern Alliance that was stillborn before its reputation was spread. The reason why the countries in the North were able to form an alliance was partly because of the threat of drow at that time.

On the other hand—Xia Duo thinks that maybe this is the most important thing—there are many countries in the North, unlike the South, which has only four major countries, and one of them is the extremely aggressive Zamdas, which is almost naturally prone to conflicts zone.

Under such circumstances, it is simply a fantasy to forcibly form a so-called Southern Alliance. It is better for the three families to unite to destroy Zamdas, and then the remaining different races have old grudges against each other, but they are not The extreme three countries develop steadily.

Thinking about it this way, Zamdas's suspicion has increased a lot, and it is of great practical significance!

Xia Duo had suspected Zamdas before. After all, if Katemir and Calinshan went to war after the assassination, the only ones who would benefit would be Zamdas and Sonata.

But compared to letting the dwarves carry out such a complicated assassination, or more accurately, it is actually a well-planned and far-reaching murder, Shaduo believes that Zamdas is behind everything.

……

After leaving the Calinshan camp, Xia Duo saw Esther outside, whose expression had already returned to normal. He secretly smiled in his heart. Even if King Hygnas was not behind this situation, it would be difficult for the other party to rule out the suspicion.

It's just that there is no evidence for these, and they are just speculations. Xia Duo is not good at provoking at will. The reason why Katemir wants to find out the truth about the assassination is probably inseparable from the situation in Katemir.

A prince with the highest voice was assassinated while visiting a foreign country, but the prince's visit was obtained after a quarrel with the crowned king.

Presumably it must be very difficult for the King Hygnas at this moment!

Of course, Xia Duo didn't have any sympathy for the crowned king in his heart, but rather disdained that kind of old but clingy way.

If it is wise and powerful, no one will say anything if he reigns for two more years, just like Cormanthor's crowned king of Elisel, whose throne has remained stable for a thousand years.

Xia Duo sighed in his heart, but his footsteps had already come in front of Esther, and he proposed to the other party: "I want to trace the traces left by the assassin in the past, please Mage Esther to cooperate with me."

It was Esther's duty to assist in the investigation or to monitor the investigation. Naturally, he would not refuse at this time, and readily agreed, "How do I cooperate?"

"It's very simple, just be my eyes."

In fact, in the coordinated casting, Esther is responsible for the projection of the perception field, and Xia Duo is only responsible for transmitting instructions and receiving information.

This is similar to the [Saint Nordell Scouting Technique] that the two of them cooperated with before, but now Xia Duo wants to cast a spell that is not familiar to both parties, and it is impossible to cooperate as much as before.

Of course, even with the current cooperation method, he still needs the other party to provide compensation afterwards.

……

There is nothing special about the casting site. It is next to the stagnant field in the center of Tianshui Square. There are countless pairs of eyes from the two countries staring at it. If it is safer than here, it is estimated that you only need to return to the floating city in the Northland. .

But obviously, it is impossible for Xia Duo to take Esther to Floating Void City, and it is unlikely that the other party will let him return to the Northland, so it is quite good here.

"Polly, I'll give you the information later, please help to be vigilant." When he was away from home, Xia Duo still called Savile by his pseudonym.

Of course, the other party quickly understood, "No problem."

"Then let's get started!"

Xia Duo first shaped the spell by himself, and then handed over the extended projection of the readjusted perception field to Esther. In this case, the other party can check whether the spell will cause irreversible damage to the unique clue , and at the same time be able to touch the core elements of the spell as little as possible.

Of course, at such a close distance and still participating in the casting of spells, leaking secrets is definitely inevitable. Xia Duo just hopes that the compensation given by the other party later will be as generous as the gem of wisdom he brought just now!
Since the stasis field blocked detection, Xia Duo directly started from other places in the square, and the assassination location was in the current stasis field, but earlier, the assassin's activity trajectory was not necessarily limited to that place.

The only pity is that I can't see the detailed assassination process with my own eyes, but it doesn't matter, if I can't find clues, I still have to enter the stasis field to continue checking.

As the spell casting progressed, the perception field specially adjusted by Xia Duo was projected by Este's hand, right on the square, Xia Duo soon received feedback——

A slender figure appeared in his perception!
