Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2688 Communication with Paris

You must know that Xia Duo has seized all the core authority of the Silver Spire where Paris is at the moment, and even restructured the defense system here.

How Paris killed the two local senior mage councilors before, Xia Duo can kill him now, but Xia Duo did not rush to do it, but deliberately slowed down the process of the end ceremony.

It's not that he doesn't want to end the matter here, but that Paris should be regarded as the most important one among the demons he has encountered so far, so he must find a way to get more information about the demons from the other party.

Indeed, Xia Duo can kill Paris very easily, but the dead Paris is really worthless, and it is even difficult for him to prevent the other party from committing suicide.

In this case, he even tried his best to save Paris' life.

Slowing down the process of the ending ceremony is still a tactic to delay the attack, and Paris is still hooked. In fact, this is a conspiracy. As long as Paris does not completely lose hope, he will always fall into the rhythm of Xia Duo.

This is the benefit of "coming prepared".

But since it's a conspiracy, even if Paris doesn't understand Xia Duo's thoughts temporarily, he will quickly react as the situation develops, just like before.

Now is no exception.

It's just that Paris seems to really understand that this ceremony really failed this time!So, he actually made a move that was beyond Xia Duo's expectations——

In the secret ceremony room, Xia Duo suddenly received a subpoena. Paris in the subpoena was no longer as rampant as when he met in front of the Silver Spire. His words revealed a trace of loneliness and final stubbornness:

"I lost, but you didn't win either! Your actions only contributed to the depravity of this timeline!

"Look around, there are constant disputes among countries. Since the birth of history, the war has never stopped. Even if the Northland Alliance, which seems to be a win-win cooperation, is formed, there are still various internal struggles.

"Not to mention the chaos outside the Northland. The countries in the South have feuds with each other, and they also have conflicting ideas. The endless wars have made them lose their potential for development.

"In Imasca in the East, slavery is prevalent, and the people are afraid that they will become slaves if they are not careful. Behind all these disputes and chaos, there is only one source, and that is the difference in blood and race.

"What a wonderful world it would be if there was a way for all life to truly integrate across races and bloodlines!"

Xia Duo originally thought that Paris was just fooled by the demons, or that he had to join the demons' camp because of accidental contamination of the blood of the demons. But judging from the other party's current remarks, this guy seems to have really developed some ideals. doctrine ideas.

Idealism is a neutral word that does not mean good or bad. It just emphasizes a state, a state of identification with one's firm beliefs.

Xia Duo was most afraid of Paris committing suicide without saying a word, but since the other party took the initiative to speak, it was just a good time to communicate first, and in the process, think about how to control the other party before committing suicide.

If he could interrogate consciousness, he wouldn't be bothered to communicate verbally with the other party!

After thinking for a while, Xia Duo continued to end the ceremony process, and at the same time sent a message to tell the other party: "What you want to say is to transform all intelligent creatures into demons, but don't you know that there are various defects in the blood of demons?"

"Are you a human being? Lord Xiaduo, or Director Doom?" Paris did not answer Xiaduo's question immediately, but instead asked Xiaduo's identity.

Xia Duo was not surprised by this, because Elvish language contains too many semantics, and if it is used like an elf, it will easily reveal too much information about itself.

So he usually uses standard Elven language when communicating with elves, that is, standard written language without adding too many non-key features. This is usually the common practice when aliens use Elvish language.

It's just that other people may not be able to imitate more, but Xia Duo is unwilling to imitate elves because of his current identity, so Paris recognized his alien identity very directly, and he is actually a human being.

Because the dwarves also have other characteristics when speaking Elvish, such as dislocation of syllables, changing accents from light tones, and so on.

Regarding Paris's inquiry, Xia Duo directly told the other party his identity. This is not a secret. On the contrary, if the lie is exposed, it is very likely that Paris will refuse to communicate, and even commit suicide directly.

……

Immediately afterwards, Paris continued to send messages: "It turned out to be Lord Xiaduo. I didn't expect you to stop me. I think after today, all countries will have a new evaluation of you!"

"I don't care about the comments of other countries, I just need to do my own thing."

"That's right! Despite all of this, we actually have a lot in common!"

Before Xia Duo could refute, Paris sent messages one after another: "As for the previous question, I know that the blood of demons is not conducive to reproduction, and it is not easy to control, but the world is always developing. You only know that the present is not good, so how can you know the future? Can't you?"

This is indeed a good angle. Unless Xia Duo is willing to admit that the world is immutable, it will be difficult to refute Paris's remarks.

So Xia Duo chose to open another topic, "I don't need to see the future, I just know that what you said about the world's degeneration because of race and blood is completely wrong!
"It is true that there are different races and bloodlines in this world, and there are many disputes and even crimes due to different races and different bloodlines, but is the root of all these really races and bloodlines?"

"What else can it be if it's not race and blood?" Paris retorted loudly, "You are a human, have you never felt discrimination from elves? Have you never felt dissatisfied because of discrimination from elves?

"If an outstanding human like you is dissatisfied, what will happen to other human beings? Isn't this the source of disputes?"

Xia Duo immediately responded to Paris's rebuttal, "You are looking at the problem from the perspective of elves. How do you know that humans will be dissatisfied with elves, and Titus, a human being, yearns for elf culture!"

This is of course a sophistry, but Paris is not a human being, and Netheril and Yeerlan did have a so-called honeymoon period in the past, and even now, there are a large number of humans in Netheril who yearn for elven culture.

This is also difficult for Paris to refute.

So, just like Xiaduo changed the topic before, Paris did the same. Instead of talking about humans, he talked about racial discrimination within the elves:

"I'm not a human, and I really don't know much about the human situation, but I'm an elf, and I'm also a demon descendant. I can't understand the racial discrimination and even oppression within the elves.

"Where there is oppression, there will naturally be resistance. Does Lord Xiaduo also think that some elves should be oppressed by nature?"
