Lord of Arcane

Soon, the figure of Ryan's envoy appeared in Zhuguang Square. He came alone, not accompanied by members of the investigation team or local mages.

After all, wouldn't the former's accompanying rumors confirm the rumors of being controlled, while the latter could not rule out the possibility of the demons getting involved. If the demons used their identity as an escort to say something they should not say, it would be more troublesome.

Therefore, Ryan simply did not bring any entourage, and came to Zhuguang Square alone. As a close minister of the Crown Prince, he did not lack such courage.

For a political creature, compared to the depression and silence, the threat of the devil is nothing!

"Residents of Metril, I am Ryan, the foreign affairs advisor of King Helion. I heard your cry. Now I am here to answer your doubts personally. I hope you will not be used by the betrayers. .”

With the effect of the spell, Ryan's words instantly overwhelmed the noise of the entire square and became the only sound in this huge square.

But suppression alone is not enough. Ryan seized the opportunity to show the tokens that could prove his identity, and at the same time shouted to the leaders such as Mandatom:
"Mandatom, you shameless betrayer, do you dare to stand up and confront me?"

Mandatom is the commander of the City Guards of Metril City. From the perspective of the Yeerlan elves, Mandatom is at a loss, and he doesn't know what cards Ryan has.

Under such circumstances, it is definitely impossible for him to stand up and confront him, because once confronted, the people will think, and thinking will undoubtedly dilute the enthusiasm of the people.

Since ancient times, the vast majority of cults and conspirators have not debated with their opponents, but have repeatedly brainwashed them with one or two simple slogans.

Because the truth becomes clearer and clearer, and at the end of the debate, their followers will easily see their essence and make choices that are contrary to their wishes.

But without standing up and confronting him, Mandatoum can continue to incite the people, and through people's voice can dilute the attribution of responsibility behind the remarks.

To put it simply, it means that the public can blame whatever they say.

For example, "I'm not the only one who said it, but others have said it too. Why don't you look for someone else, but come to me instead?", "I'm just skeptical, shouldn't it be okay to be skeptical?"

Although Ye Erlan did not say that the law does not punish the public, in practice, under special circumstances, it is actually very difficult for the "public" to be punished.

For example, this time, the people gathered here only because of the instigation of the demons, but the people's intention was really good, to protect Metril and Ye Erlan, and so far there has been no drastic action.

Is this also a punishment?
After such a punishment, aren't you afraid that the hearts of the people will be dispersed?

The most important thing is that there is no such law as illegal assembly in Yeerlan, and there is no basis for punishment. It is likely that nothing will be done after the incident, and a few words of praise may even be needed to avoid chilling the people's hearts.

……

In just a few seconds after Ryan asked Mandatom to stand up and confront him, voices of doubt arose from every corner of the square, and there were even echoes among the voices——

"We are very familiar with the leader of Mandatom, how could he be a traitor! The messenger must have been deceived by those invaders!"

"Yes, the commander of Mandatom has always been kind. Under his command, the city guards never had any conflicts with the people. There is nothing to doubt about this."

"This messenger doesn't look like a good elf at first glance. He said he was a messenger, and I said I was a messenger!"

"Tokens can also be forged. Who would believe that a strange face suddenly stood up and said that the Mandatom leader we see every day is a traitor!"

Words like these rang out one after another from all over the square, and it didn't look like they were colluding with each other at all, which once again ignited the anger of the people.

Seeing this situation, Ryan was inevitably a little nervous, but he had come to this point, even if there was an abyss in front of him, he would step into it without hesitation.

"Everyone, please listen to me——"

……

Xia Duo was more or less concerned about Ryan's situation, not to mention that he asked Philip for more tokens and information. After Badigal conveyed it, he immediately passed it to Ryan simultaneously.

Therefore, Ryan can eloquently talk about the various relationships in the upper layers of Metril City in Zhuguang Plaza, and even the so-called truth behind the big and small events that happened in Metril in the past.

These are what ordinary people love to hear, and in the process of telling these stories, Ryan repeatedly showed various evidence that could reveal his identity.

At the same time, I also put forward a small request to the people, that is, to protect themselves and pay attention to possible attackers around, because the traitors do not want to see the people stand together with the envoy of the crown king.

……

"This guy still has a set!"

Xia Duo silently praised, and then re-invested in the collaborative computing. The reason why Ryan has nothing to do now is that on the one hand, the demons are also thinking about delaying time, and on the other hand, it is also the most important——

Xia Duo asked the four senior mages who were on standby in the Silver Spire to take care of it. Anyway, the current collaborative computing of Lingsi Network mainly uses the subconscious mind shared by each accessor.

It means that the conscious mind is still idle and can do other things without causing too much burden on the conscious mind.

……

Under the torment of countless insiders, Xia Duo quickly completed the analysis of Metril's original mysia, and at the same time made a preliminary judgment on Paris's ongoing ritual spell.

The purpose of this ceremony is similar to what Xia Duo had guessed before. It is mainly used for positioning and reversing the timeline. Of course, Xia Duo made a definite judgment after careful analysis, but there is also a speculative part.

However, Xia Duo believes that the true function of the ceremony should be indistinguishable from his judgment.

In addition, this ritual itself does not need to use external mythos. Paris uses mythos as an important medium for casting spells, so as to increase the scope of influence of ritual spells.

Xia Duo speculates that the final impact of this spell may be far beyond Metril's area, but more extensive. He can't say for the time being how wide it is. After all, this is a spell that he has never experimented with before.

The devil may know, but it is impossible for the devil to tell him. He can only guess as high as possible, so as to remind himself not to take chances and to go all out.

……

The next step is to designate a plan to prevent the ritual. If it is any other spell, it is very simple. Just destroy the spell casting and make the spell unsustainable.

As for the impact of the failure of the spell, no matter how bad it is, it will not be greater than the impact of the success of the spell. This price is completely worth it.

But now this ritual spell involves the timeline. No one knows what the impact of random destruction will be, and no one can guarantee that the impact of doing so will be smaller than the success of the spell.

Therefore, if you want to stop Paris's ritual, you must seize control of the ritual from Paris, and end the ritual perfectly without Paris competing for or even destroying it simultaneously.

The difficulty is quite high, but Xia Duo has the confidence to complete it, and he will definitely be able to complete it! (end of this chapter)
