Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2499
Now that Niya brought up the issue of the heir again, it also made Xia Duo understand that Niya really cares about this matter, so this matter can indeed be ranked in the front row.

Right now, a new covenant with Netheril is about to be signed, and even if the basic market is stabilized after that, with such a relatively stable external environment, the development of the Great Xia Territory can be expected.

As for the Northern Alliance, apart from the constant threat of the demons, there will be no major events for the time being. As for the Dragon Madness, Xia Duo is also planning to go to the North Pole after signing the new alliance.

The problem is not too big, the key is that these two major crises are largely independent of Xia Duo's will. He can only try his best to actively deal with it, not that he will definitely be able to cover the bottom line, or that he must be needed. Go to the bottom of the bag.

For these two things, Xia Duo has corresponding plans and arrangements, and he will just follow suit, but other things, such as continuing to study mythos, exploring alien planes, and the development of the Tower of Time, etc., although Important, but not urgent.

From these things, part of the energy can be allocated to solve the problem of offspring first.

There is even no need to wait until the signing of the new covenant, and the preparations can be started now. Xia Duo thought so and did the same.

……

the next day.

Inside the Tower of Time, Xia Duo and Niya are working together on how to make human beings. Outside the Tower of Time, the investigation team invited by Seven Towers and Ye Erlan from various countries in the North has come to Hengchun Square overnight.

Accompanying the investigation team was Xia Duo's old acquaintance Blunders. In the past, Blunders would definitely wait for an opportunity to spy on Xia Duo's floating city in order to bring back some information to the Seven Towers.

Especially not long ago, when Xia Duo proposed to use the floating city to make a deal with the Seven Towers, the related situation of the floating city fan lock revealed, which made the Seven Towers full of interest.

But today Blunders had no intention of spying at all, but focused on the investigation team hired from the Northland Alliance with a lot of money.

Without him, the team just checked Offa Square in Severton for nearly a night, but failed to find many useful clues.

It can only be confirmed that the elf assassin who attacked Xia Duo was indeed a high-level mage, but does this still require such a high-level investigation team to investigate?
Anyone who was at the scene yesterday saw the unique saint form of a high-level mage under the elf magic system, as well as a large number of traces of elf magic left on the scene.

To be honest, Brundes was very disappointed with this investigation team, even if there was a dwarf in the team who claimed to be able to accurately find the trace left by a fly flying over a year ago within the strong radiation range of the Underdark. Grandmaster.

"Ugh!"

Blunders sighed silently in his heart, and now he can only hope that these investigators can find some clues from Xia Duo, at worst, find Xia Duo's soul.

Even if the war cannot be avoided in the end, in comparison, Brundes is still more inclined to let Xia Duolai be the initiator of the war. At least Xia Duolai is a calm and rational person in his opinion, and he will not let the war go to Totally uncontrollable.

Hengchun Plaza.

Blunders was not present when the assassination happened yesterday, but when he came to Floating Void City today, he was still very shocked when he saw the body left by Xia Duo.

Since the establishment of the Seven Towers, there has never been an assassination of a great arcanist in Netheril!Not to mention that it was done in such an intense manner in public.

Even though Brundes had long given up the idea of ​​becoming a legend, and it was unlikely that he would become a Grand Arcanist in this life, his anger at this matter was not just because the target of the assassination was the Grand Arcanist.

It is the impact of this incident. Will there be more intense competition among countries in the future?
Today is Xiaduo, will it be Horn tomorrow, or anyone in Netheril? tacitly control the intensity of the conflict.

The current incident has made Brundes smell the breath of war. He is clear on the side of the Seven Towers that Badigal is already preparing for the war. Although Horn is unwilling, this matter has long since left the Seven Towers. It's under control.

It's not that if you don't want to participate in the war, you won't participate in the war!
"Ugh!"

Brundes sighed again, watching the twelve investigators look around the statue of Xiaduo, he unexpectedly felt a sense of absurdity, not because of the behavior of these investigators.

It's that the direct assassination scene on the ground failed to find any useful clues before, so what do you find here now?

Sure enough, a dozen or so investigators each used their own proficient means to check, and all showed the dazed expressions they had shown when they were on the ground.

After a short discussion, they decided that the oldest dwarf search master would report the inspection results to Brunders, "We have checked carefully, and this statue does not have any soul breath.

"But due to the existence of the seal itself, if further investigation is required, I hope Your Excellency can persuade Lord Xia Duo's followers to let us break the seal."

"It is impossible to break the seal. Although it is certain that Lord Xia Duo's soul is safe right now, it is very likely that it is maintained by the seal on his body. If the seal is broken, who will take care of it if something goes wrong?" This responsibility!"

No matter who is responsible, Brundes himself is unwilling to take on this responsibility, even if Badigal is here, he can't afford it.

"I will inform the Tower of Time about your suggestion. If they agree, they will break the seal for further inspection. If they don't agree, then you can only find a way from other directions."

Speaking of this, Brundes couldn't help complaining, "You are all well-known investigation and search masters in the Northland countries, why can't you even investigate a mere assassination incident now!"

The dwarf master frowned when he heard this, but because he really couldn't find any useful clues, even though Brundes' words were not very pleasant, he didn't refute anything.

But the investigator from Comanso didn't think so, "How could this be a mere assassination incident? This is clearly a long-planned and well-planned assassination incident.

"The planners behind the scenes have been planning for an unknown amount of time, we have been here for less than a day, and the current discovery is enough to prove our ability.

"Besides, if you can do it yourself, you don't need to invite us over."

Although Investigator Comanso's words were not pleasant, they did tell a fact that Brunders found it difficult to refute, that is—the time was too short!

Moreover, these investigators did find a lot of clues, and even restored some details of the spells used by both sides of the incident at that time, but these clues alone could not allow them to determine the identity of the assassin.

And the latter is actually the real purpose of Seven Towers and Ye Erlan's invitation to these investigations. What happened at the scene and the details of the assassination at that time are not important. The important thing is to determine the identity of the assassin.

As long as a result that can stand the test can be produced, no matter how outrageous the result is, all parties can accept it and look forward to it.
