Lord of Arcane

Badigal was very interested in Shado's suggestion and the increase in influence he mentioned on Netheril. He didn't care that the two were not talking face to face at this moment, and then he raised a number of related issues. question.

Chateau also answered them one by one. Finally, Badigal told Chateau, "I will convene an extraordinary meeting again later to inform the members of the latest negotiation progress and vote on this new plan."

Xia Duo was completely responsible for this. After ending the communication, he did not continue to interpret Puffin's consciousness. Badigal just mentioned that he would convene an impromptu meeting later. It should be a relatively short remote meeting. He planned to wait until the meeting was over. Go to the lab.

In the past week, he has successively decoded six or seven copies of Puffin's consciousness, and the information he obtained is almost the essence of it, if not all of it. The follow-up will be to confirm some details that may have been missed.

Among all the information that has been interpreted, the most important part is of course the part about the Illuminati, including some details of the wise men's performance, as well as the number of light apostles, rebirth rituals, etc.

The second is the Illuminati's plan to subvert the timeline, which is called the "Elam Rebirth Plan" internally. This plan has no specific timetable or action details, and all actions are temporarily arranged by wise men.

However, this plan is not completely controlled by the wise men. According to what Puffin learned - this Elam rebirth plan has a window period.

In short, the farther you are from the Elam region on the main plane, which is the current Elam Kingdom, and the further away you are from the day when the Elam region became independent, the more time-related rituals you need to subvert the timeline. .

If a ceremony could be performed in the Kingdom of Elam on the day of Elam's independence, perhaps just one ceremony could overturn the timeline.

But it is a pity that on the day of Elam independence, Elam was actually still under the actual control of Elam. The so-called independence only existed in the records of the Northland Alliance.

Therefore, if you miss that opportunity, you need more rituals to make up for it, and the further back in time and the farther away you are from the Kingdom of Elam, the more times it is needed.

This may also explain why the demons have to perform two rituals in Yeerlan and Sluvende this year, instead of taking sudden actions after a few years or decades when the countries in the North are less wary of the demons. .

Or he could run outside the Northland or to the edge of the plane to perform the ritual.

In theory, they can indeed do this, but the price is that they may need to perform countless rituals to truly subvert the timeline, which is obviously unrealistic.

Therefore, according to this information in Puffin's consciousness, as long as the Northland Alliance delays time, the Illuminati's conspiracy will become increasingly difficult to realize.

However, this is definitely unrealistic. The Illuminati will definitely not be willing to stay dormant. There is information about the next ceremony in Puffin's consciousness, but the next ceremony is still being brewed. Only the wise can know the specific time and place. Know.

Based on this, Xia Duo is more confident that the mithril mine incident in the Gray Peak Mountains was caused by the Illuminati. Even if it was not directly planned by them, it may be some kind of special indirect guidance.

It's a pity that there is no information about the mithril mine in Puffin's consciousness, at least not what Sha Duo has interpreted now, and probably not the rest.

...In addition to the members of the Illuminati and the time-related ritual window period, there is also a lot of important information in Puffin's consciousness, and its impact on reality is not inferior to the former, and may even be greater.

For example, Puffin once participated in a discussion within the Illuminati. Some Illuminati apostles suggested that they could consider infiltrating humans or other races. However, this discussion did not make a clear decision and was still at the discussion stage.

At present, almost 100% of demon descendants are transformed from elves, so now all countries in the North basically assume that demon descendants are demon descendants. However, if the Illuminati also develops demon descendants from other races, the situation will be very different. Same again.

Just talking about Netheril, once faced with the infiltration of the Illuminati, I'm afraid not many people can resist it.

There is also Danzo, who is originally in the Underdark. Many dwarves themselves were contaminated with demonic aura during the Drow War, not to mention that there are still many demons in the Underdark corresponding to this area of ​​​​Northland that have not been completely eliminated.

In other words, Danzo is almost a perfect place for the transformation of demon descendants. Those who are contaminated with the devil's aura can easily be infected into demon descendants, and they are still original demon descendants who do not master magic energy, just like the birth process of the original demon descendants.

At this time, if there is a mature demon who has mastered magic power who wants to seduce him on the condition of solving the demonic aura or even the sequelae of blood pollution, it will be really difficult to refuse unless he has a strong will.

Think about it, a dwarf who was suffering from various diseases caused by the devil's breath pollution was suddenly told that there was a solution, and the other party did not necessarily ask him to betray the tribe, but provided unconditional assistance.

In this case, how many people can refuse?

But even if there were really no conditions at the time, once you transform into a demon (being contaminated does not necessarily mean you will transform into a demon, but more like being cursed, with many negative states), do you still want to stay out of it at this time?

Even thinking about it is unlikely!
That is to say, the demons have not developed into other races yet, otherwise it would be a big trouble. Although according to the information interpreted in Puffin's consciousness, the Illuminati has indeed not developed races other than elves to transform demons, but who knows in the future Could it be?
In fact, Xia Duo has a more terrifying guess, that is, the Illuminati may have developed demons from other races besides elves, but because Puffin has not yet performed the rebirth ceremony, he has not been able to participate in this kind of Within the core plan, the discussions he participated in were probably just post-event discussions, intended to unify internal opinions.

In addition, as an apostle of light, Puffin has the location of the demon's secret palace and the list of demons. This is also information that has a great impact on reality.

Unfortunately, it was a little late for Xia Duo to interpret this information. He was not sure whether he could still catch the demon descendant in the past. However, the secret palace system itself did not involve much within the Illuminati and was a tool that could be thrown away at any time.

So Xia Duo simply stopped thinking about that. In addition to being unable to touch the roots of the Illuminati, another important reason was that the list of demons controlled by Puffin was very limited, and it was still within the territory of Cormanthor.

Cormanso is now on serious alert because of Puffin's disappearance. Unless Shado discloses Puffin's consciousness information, what reason is there to attack the demons there?

Puffin's consciousness information must be provided to the Northland Alliance, but not now. Just one prophet has a problem does not mean that all prophets have problems. When he finds some more clues, it will be enough to convince all countries to act at the same time and take advantage of it in one fell swoop. Get rid of those dubious prophets.

The ideal thing is to find the wise man's true identity or relevant clues. If he can be caught directly, that would be even better. (End of chapter)
