Lord of Arcane

Chapter 3191: Unexpected Intruder Cooperation
Xia Duo has made preparations to resurrect all forty-six subjects. Now it depends on whether the Illuminati will launch an attack on Midsummer Day.

As Midsummer Day is approaching, Shaduo will focus more on the territory instead of Evereska. There he basically clocks in during the day, checks the operating status of the computing pool, and then goes back to the office.

Or he could go back to Golden Maple Manor directly. If there was any emergency, his assistant Charles or Doom could contact him.

Midsummer Eve.

As usual, Xia Duo conducted a psychic awakening experiment under Niya's care, but the result was not surprising. It was still unsuccessful. Although he was a little anxious, he did not deliberately speed up the progress. He still tried it twice a day at most as before.

If Niya asked, she would just try it as a backup.

After the experiment was over, Xia Duo was planning to go back to rest with Niya, but unexpectedly received an alarm from Yunfeng Manor. Xia Duo's face suddenly changed, and he took Niya back to the bedroom and told Niya:
"There's an emergency. A thief broke into Yunfeng Manor. I went to deal with it and will be back soon."

After saying that, Shado fell on the bed, and his consciousness shifted to his avatar far away in Evereska. When he walked out of the secret room where the avatar was kept, the intruder had already arrived inside the manor.

And the many protective measures he had set up before were all triggered one by one, but due to the restrictions on the renovation of the manor by Evereska, the original old configuration was still mostly used here.

This also meant that the intruder was not controlled, but was still fighting against the protective barrier and trying to enter the main building in the center of the manor.

Just when Xia Duo was about to control the intruder himself, the intruder also discovered his presence and tried to communicate -

"Advisor Xia Duo, please slow down, I have something to say!"

Xia Duo paused for a moment, but did not stop. Instead, he cooperated with the manor's protective barrier to restrain the invader. During this process, the invader did not resist.

So Xia Duo simply tied the opponent to an open space instead of transferring him to the set spell trap.

When they arrived at the open space in front of the garden, the butler Raziel, who had heard the news, finally arrived. Xia Duo first let Raziel go back to rest, and then he came to the intruder alone and looked him up and down.

But the intruder was wrapped in a spacious black cloak, and even his face was cast to avoid any gaze that attempted to observe him. Only from his tall and straight figure could one roughly judge that he was either a human or a golden elf.

"Who are you? Why did you break into my manor?" asked Xia Duo.

"Advisor Xia Duo, it's not convenient to talk here. Can we find a more private place?"

As he spoke, the intruder stretched out a hand from his dark cloak and made a rather complicated symbol that was not unfamiliar to Shado.

Seeing this, Xia Duo hesitated for a moment, then cast a spell to transfer the other party to the secret room under the manor. He then deliberately erased the traces of the other party's infiltration before returning to the secret room.

"Zamdas people? You are really brave!" Shado asked coldly.

The symbol that the other party just showed represented the Antidian School of Xamdas. Shado had "absorbed" the memories of many psychic masters before and was not unfamiliar with that symbol.

But this does not mean that the other party must be from Zhamdas. After all, it is not surprising that other non-Zhamdas wizards also know the symbols that he knows.

"Please forgive my unauthorized intrusion, but this matter is not suitable for publicizing. Consultant Xia Duo, please listen to my explanation." The intruder said very sincerely.

At the same time, he untied his cloak, and it was indeed as Xia Duo had judged, a human being he had never seen before!
"Tell me who you are first? If I remember correctly, there should be no one like you in the Zamdas delegation!" Shado said in a very unfriendly tone.

But the intruder seemed to be completely oblivious to Xia Duo's tone, and continued to explain sincerely:

"I am from the Antioch School in Zhamdas. I am not in the diplomatic delegation that came to the North this time, but I came to the North a long time ago. Advisor Shado can call me Torres."

At this point, the Zamdas man who called himself Torres became a little nervous. He looked around in the secret room and asked Shado:

"Is this room safe and private enough?"

"I don't know about psychic power, but arcane magic should be very rare to break through the blockade of this secret room. Even if it can, it can't be hidden from me. Just tell me what you want to say, and don't look around."

"Okay, I trust Consultant Xia Duo."

In this situation, Torres had no choice but to trust Shado, but out of caution, he re-arranged a protective spell. To Shado's surprise, this spell actually contained both psychic and arcane elements. (He had a psychic detector)
However, he was not worried about the other party's sudden attack. Instead, he allowed the other party to cast the spell. He wanted to see what incredible things the other party could say.

Having done everything that could be done, Torres slowly spoke, "On behalf of the Zhamdas Anti School and the Zechi School, I request to unite with the Northern Alliance to eliminate Kalish, an extremely dangerous person."

"Huh?" Xia Duo was shocked. To be honest, he really didn't expect this result.

The other party took the trouble to break into the Yunfeng state, and was worried about all kinds of things, but in the end, he just wanted to unite with the Northern Alliance to eliminate Kalish? He didn't want the remains of the first generation mentor?

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but ask the question in his heart, "Your envoys have held many rounds of consultations with the Alliance, but have not been able to reach an agreement with the Alliance. Why do you think that if you contact me privately, the Alliance will definitely agree to cooperate?"

"Advisor Xia Duo, I know that the Northern Alliance will never agree to the envoys' request to directly hand over Kalish. Even the request to exchange Kalish for the remains of the first generation mentor is difficult to meet, but those are only on the surface."

Torres further explained: "Kalish should have told you that he found a way to integrate psionic energy and arcane magic. He believes that this is the true path to the truth. What I want to tell you now is that Kalish is right!

"The fusion of psionic energy and arcane magic may indeed be a path to the truth, and the most important thing is that this path is in the hands of Kalish alone!"

"So you have to kill him to prevent him from bringing new opportunities to the Northern Alliance?" Xia Duo asked again.

"A brand new opportunity?" Torres sneered. "All he can bring is destruction and slavery. You underestimate the new artifact he envisioned. Once he controls the new artifact, perhaps the entire Western Continent and even the entire main plane will surrender to him."

"Do you think it's possible? It's just a psychic artifact. It's not like I haven't destroyed it before!"

Xia Duo simply sneered at such alarmist talk, but he did not finish his words and asked the other party to continue explaining.
