Lord of Arcane

Regarding Tirion's request, Shado did not immediately agree or refuse, but first asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Due to time constraints, the demons may turn tentative rituals into substantive actions at any time. We must form a mobile team that can act at any time. Volunteers from various countries are currently gathering in Everesca.

"But we also need a leader to increase the success rate of the operation. Your Excellency Chateau performed outstandingly in the last Metril incident. This is obvious to all, so I will invite you after consultation with representatives of all countries in the alliance."

"Is that all?" Xia Duo asked again.

"This is the case at the moment. The duration of the demon's timeline fluctuation signal is getting longer and longer, but because it has not reached the critical point, we are worried about alerting them and have not sent anyone to investigate. But this situation is not It will continue, and the ultimate goal of the demon is to perform the ritual. We hope that Mr. Sha Duo will lead this team to get more time for observation and investigation."

"What did the Shishi Magic Research Laboratory say?"

"It was they who recommended you to us. At the same time, in addition to the volunteers temporarily called by various countries, the Time-related Magic Research Laboratory will also allocate some people to join the mobile team under your leadership. In addition, considering the difficulty of this operation, the Northland Alliance All parties will give this team the greatest support and the greatest tolerance. Even if the operation fails, no one will blame you. Sir Xia Duo does not have to worry. Of course, if possible, we still hope that the operation will succeed."

Tirion spoke sincerely, even saying that the operation failed. Shado also felt the sincerity of the alliance countries represented by Tirion, but sincerity alone was not enough to make him agree.

However, the problem of demons in the North was already very serious. If the Illuminati succeeded a few more times, he could hardly believe what would happen.

So Xia Duo just thought briefly and agreed on the spot, without any pretense to elevate himself. He didn't want to delay his next actions, and he didn't think that doing so would make others look down upon him.

Why did Tirion come to ask him to lead the team to stop the time-related rituals of the demons? It was not because of his past performance in the Metril incident. Without his previous performance, even if he brags about himself now, I am afraid that all the countries in the alliance will also Don't dare to take risks on this kind of thing!

In addition, Shador has long had a long-term plan, which is to lead Netheril through the Great Xia Kingdom, and then lead the Northern Alliance through Netheril.

But leadership is not obtained through force, but through concrete practice and cooperation.

To put it simply, if you want to gain leadership, you must have the real ability to lead Netheril or the Northland Alliance to the right path of development!

Although this current operation cannot make Xia Duo become the leader of the Northland Alliance all of a sudden, it can also become an important pavement for dominating the alliance in the future.

If there is a progress bar for becoming the leader of the Northland Alliance, then completing this operation can increase the progress bar by that amount.

In this regard, what reason does Xia Duo have to refuse?
……

Just after Shado agreed to join this operation, Tirion immediately invited him to join the Lingsi network established by the alliance specifically for this operation. This was of course an imitation of Shado's behavior in the past Metril incident.

At the same time, he was prepared for Xia Duo not to agree.

Once Xia Duo agreed and accessed the Lingsi network, he immediately obtained the dominant authority. An alliance mage transferred the authority to Xia Duo and simultaneously sent a message to all those connected to the network——

"Everyone welcomes Consultant Shado from the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory!"

"Welcome Consultant Xia Duo." "Welcome Consultant Xia Duo."

……

"Even humans have joined in. What exactly is this operation? It was so urgent when they were summoned, but they refused to reveal any information."

"That's right, we still don't know the specific details of the operation. Is our time so worthless?"

……

Although there were greeters, there were also some strange sounds. Upon seeing this, Shado couldn't help but cast a doubtful look at Tirion, "You haven't informed all the volunteers of the details of the operation?"

"Aren't we worried about the infiltration of demons? Except for the mages who were previously involved in the Metril incident, we have not disclosed relevant details to anyone else."

Speaking of this, Tirion's tone suddenly became a little lower and told Shado, "We are all Netherese people. There are some things I only say to Lord Shado here. In fact, most of the volunteers recruited this time are just It will serve as the carrier of the Lingsi network and provide computing power resources. At most, you will only know that you participated in a very important operation. Only people who are determined to have nothing to do with the demon can know the details of the operation."

"I understand!" Xia Duo nodded to express his understanding.

The Lingsi network is built on the subconscious sharing of part of the user. Whether the user is a demon or resists sharing does not actually have much impact.

As long as the depth of perception of the Lingsi Network Linker is sufficient, the consent of those people is not even needed. The volunteers called this time, in addition to the hard conditions of being a senior mage or above, have only one condition -

You need to agree to access the Lingsi network at link awareness depth level 4.

Of course, this is not a condition that all spellcasters can accept, but neither Shado nor Tirion need to care about this issue. Most of the volunteers summoned this time are elves.

Since it is an elf, it is natural for the elf countries to coordinate. Now that the demon is planning a big move, the elf countries will definitely feel the pressure.

Whether it's an exchange of interests or coercion, as long as we can get volunteers, who cares about the means!
……

On the way to the Northland Alliance headquarters, Shado chatted with Tirion about the many inside stories about mithril mine negotiations in various countries, and at the same time analyzed the subconscious information of all volunteers through the Lingsi network authority.

Just like what he did in the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory, the level 4 link status is enough to analyze the demon tendencies of the connected person, even more thoroughly than what he did in the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory.

"If this incident had not happened, the Northland Alliance's next focus should be to establish a new department to prepare for the subsequent opening of the mithril mine."

Hearing such news from Tirion, an absolute high-level executive in the alliance, Shado was also shocked, "Is it so fast?"

"For the elves, it's indeed fast, but facing such a huge mithril mine, the elves can't calm down. Early development will benefit early! After all, the current negotiations have passed a critical node, and some principled issues have been settled. Yes, there are still some details that have not been finalized, but it will not affect the joint mining."
