Lord of Arcane

In the days that followed, Xia Duo continued to pay attention to the progress of comprehensive testing in Northland from time to time. Although testing has been carried out for more than a month, it is still very difficult to test all residents in Northland.

After all, the Northland has a total population of over 100 million. In addition, the control power in the classical era is far less than that in modern times. It is possible that not even half of it has been detected now.

The real foundation that supports the launch of the Northland Alliance and the subsequent completion of this plan is magic. The Northland Alliance has designed an efficient marking verification system. All people who have participated in the comprehensive test have been marked, and can quickly use simple spells. verify.

Recently, there have been many large and small banquets in various countries in Northland. In addition to celebrating Northland's breakthrough results in comprehensive testing and celebrating the snowmelt competition, the more important purpose is to gather the middle and upper classes in Northland to see who has not been tested.

Imagine a scene where an elf attends a banquet and inevitably talks about demons and comprehensive detection, and then a guest casually casts a [Detect Magic Mark] spell.

All the guests who had participated in the comprehensive test showed no abnormality, but the guests who had not participated in the demon test immediately emitted an unusually conspicuous red light, which attracted the attention of all the guests present.

Although the Alliance decided to treat demons leniently, most residents of the North are still influenced by long-standing concepts and still maintain a wary or even hostile attitude towards elves suspected of being demons.

The Alliance took advantage of this and spread the [Detect Magic Mark] spell widely, giving every spellcaster the ability and opportunity to participate. It also set up detection spells in most public places and key thoroughfares. device.

It does not require the control of the caster. As long as the person passing by does not carry the [Magic Inspection Mark] - that is, the mark that can only be obtained by undergoing a comprehensive inspection, a reminder will be issued, urging the target to complete the inspection as soon as possible to obtain the mark.

If you are reminded by spells multiple times in a row, then the next time your country's law enforcement officers arrive, if you continue to refuse to be tested, you will be considered a suspected demon and will be given special attention.

Through various similar measures, the alliance has firmly controlled the progress of comprehensive testing. Judging from the news obtained by Sha Duo, it is expected that all residents of the Northland countries will be tested before and after Midsummer Festival.

There is a high probability that there will be two or three tests in the future until the basic situation of the demon descendants in the Northland is completely understood.

As for the Illuminati, it is best if they can be caught. If they cannot be caught, as long as time-related research continues, it will only become more and more difficult for the other party to cause trouble.

This is also the main reason for optimism within the Northland Alliance regarding the Illuminati issue.

Compared to the Illuminati jumping out directly to cause trouble, the alliance is actually more worried about them working internally to engage in peaceful evolution. However, in this regard, as long as the relevant systems are improved, the huge alliance will not be completely destroyed overnight.

As long as there are signs and symptoms and they are stamped out in time, the Illuminati will have nothing to fear.

Such a threat is not so much the Illuminati as it is the potential opponents within the alliance. Even without the existence of the Illuminati, these potential opponents may cause some difficult situations to deal with.

But the current alliance is still confident that it can cope with it.

Xia Duo also has confidence in the development of the alliance, but due to his understanding of the Illuminati, he feels that the Illuminati is not so easy to stop.

At present, the Illuminati's window period for time-related rituals has not been completely missed, and there is still a chance to make waves. Only if this window period is completely missed, will the Illuminati be able to stop.

As for the long term, Shado believes that the alliance and his own development will be enough to deal with the long-dormant Illuminati in the future. Therefore, the judgment about this window period is very critical. Based on the memory of Puffin's prophet, Shado speculated that the effective window period could last at least until the end of the year.

After all, the casting window does not appear or disappear very suddenly, but after the key node, the earlier the better. At the same time, the closer to the location of the node event, the lower the requirements for the ritual.

Correspondingly, the further back and further away from the location of the node event - that is, the Elamite region, the higher the requirements for the ritual and the less likely it is to succeed.

In other words, the Illuminati must be in a very difficult position right now. They must conduct an unprecedented wave of time-related rituals near Elam as soon as possible, so that they can make up for the previous rituals that were destroyed by the alliance at once, and at the same time, in order to avoid subsequent rituals from being destroyed as well. , it is best to concentrate the effects into one ritual at once.

This is the so-called "one wave flow"!

The further back you drag, the harder it will be to cast the spell, and the noise will be louder, so the success rate of spell casting will be lower.

However, the Northland Alliance is currently in the most vigilant state because it cannot catch the Illuminati. In this case, although the difficulty of casting spells has been reduced and the movement will be relatively small, the success rate is the smallest.

Therefore, Shado speculates that the Illuminati may be stuck at the end of the window period, that is, before the stage when the success rate of spell casting drops to a certain level, but it is still possible to succeed, and directly engage in big waves in the Elam region!

The specific time may be at the end of this year, or it may be next year.

In short, the best choice is not to let down our guard in recent years, but to deal with time-related signals that may appear in the Northland and even the entire main plane as soon as possible.

If he had missed these few years, Xia Duo would probably be as optimistic as others in the alliance. If the Illuminati had not been wiped out at that time, it would probably not pose much of a threat to the timeline of the main plane.

However, nine out of ten Illuminati prophets are high-level mages. If a high-level wizard wants to carry out suicide attacks, it is still very simple and difficult to prevent.

Even Xia Duo found it difficult to deal with it.

The saint form is really too buggy. As long as you are not afraid of death, you can almost 100% take away your opponent. On the day when the Northland Alliance was founded, the survivors of Uvilen adjusted Cormanso to be crowned king. It was because the latter did not dare to fight hard. Let the former seize the opportunity to win.

It's a pity that the last guardian of Uvellon chose to sacrifice himself for the other Uvellon survivors, and also presented the Uvillon legal system to Cormanthor in front of representatives from various countries in the North.

From now on, there will be no legal hidden dangers in Cormanthor's rule over the homeland of Uvellon. This is actually the main reason why the survivors of Uvellon are suppressed in Cormanthor. (Worrying that if they resume the country, the land has actually been occupied by Comanso~)

In fact, the guardian of Uvellon had not completely sublimated into the form of a saint, but if he did not die, King Cormanso Crown would obviously not feel at ease, so he died.

Compared with ordinary high-level mages, the prophet is more difficult to deal with. He may know the opponent better than the opponent himself. This is a huge advantage. If coupled with the courage to fight hard, the main plane can almost go sideways.

Xia Duo is not sure whether the members of the Illuminati dare to risk their lives, but at least they must be prepared to prevent them from having a "final madness" when the time-related ceremony has completely lost hope.

If this happens, it will be an outright disaster for any country in the North.
