Lord of Arcane

Chapter 3194: Ungrateful Kalish
Talking about his original decision, Solinkara couldn't help showing a trace of regret, but then his expression became firm again, "If I were to choose again, I would still choose to refuse.

"Not only because the Zechi School is currently in power, but also because Kalish's plan itself is too risky. It requires Zhamdas to gamble almost everything to play along with him. Neither I nor Zaranmonai can agree to it.

"After I refused, Kalish did something that made all the Zhamdas people angry - he stole the remains of the first generation of mentors kept in the school's meditation room, and the most powerful brow bone.

“At first I thought he just wanted to temporarily borrow the remains of the first-generation mentor. Although this was very rare in the past, it did happen.

"But Kalish took the remains of the first mentor to the Zechi School, intending to bypass the Antichrist School and cooperate with the Zechi School alone. After all, the Zechi School is now in power and has the right to re-plan and embezzle the mental energy reserves shared by the two schools.

“This may seem beneficial to the Zechi School, but it destroys the long-standing tacit understanding between the two schools, so Zalanmonai refused and informed us.

"Then Kalish publicly demonstrated his rebirth in front of many scholars and masters from our two schools. After that, the situation changed. Although he did not threaten us directly, Zalanmonai and I knew that we had no choice."

Solinkara's tone when recounting this past event was very calm, but it seems that the real past was not so calm.

What does it mean to demonstrate rebirth? Before that, could it be that Kalish committed suicide to confirm that he had this ability?

In Shado's opinion, it was most likely that the Zhamdas's attempt to surround and kill Kalish had failed, which allowed Kalish to become famous and was completely frightened.

Only after that passive display of self-rebirth could Kalish take the initiative to perform the rebirth drama in the North, and this, combined with the temptation of the artifact plan, did achieve good results.

There is a high probability that Yeerlan was dealt with in this way.

……

"Originally, we did not choose the North as the target for collecting arcane wisdom. Instead, we planned to collect it slowly during the war with Katemire. But guess who chose the North?" Solinka suddenly asked.

"Is it Kalish?" Shado replied cooperatively.

"Yes, it's Kalish!"

Solinkara told Shado, “It was Kalish who revealed the existence of the computing power pool to us, and claimed that the computing power pool could be used to compress the time of collecting arcane wisdom to the limit.

"Combined with Zhamdas's strategy in the south and east, if everything goes well, we can officially start manufacturing the artifact by the end of this year at the latest.

"As for the manufacture of divine tools, the most time-consuming part is actually the preparation time. Once you start making them, it won't take that long."

That's it!

However, Shado did not completely believe what Solinkara said. The idea of ​​being coerced was just one person's opinion. Solinkara himself said that Kalish did not make a direct threat, but it was the Zamdas side that did not reject the other party's proposal after realizing the threat from Kalish.

It is even possible that it was Kalish who had been playing passively.

There is also Kalish who has brought the idea of ​​collecting arcane wisdom to the Northern Alliance, and even proposed the shortcut of computing power pool. This may be said to be Kalish's problem, but Shado does not believe that Zhamdas has not been tempted.

Now it's nothing more than a falling out, or maybe they realized belatedly that the new artifact designed by Kalish was a bit too excessive and they couldn't control it, so they remembered to eliminate Kalish, the source of all the trouble.

Shado was not sure about other things that Solinkara said, but the only thing that seemed more credible was that Zhamdas intended to eliminate Kalish.

If there is any conspiracy in this matter, the country of Zhamdas will no longer have any credibility.

Currently, Shado is inclined to broker cooperation between the Northern Alliance and Zhamdas, because doing so has a hidden benefit, which is that even if the action fails, it would be equivalent to completely breaking off relations with Kalish, and subsequent cooperation would be difficult.

As for the possibility that the Northern Alliance and Zhamdas would be killed by Kalish in a joint operation, this possibility is too small. Instead of worrying about this, it is better to think about how to deal with Kalish.

……

In the remote conversation established with the help of the detection spell, although Shado did not explicitly agree to Zhamdas's request, he also showed a certain inclination. However, there is still one most critical issue that he wants to confirm with Solinkara -

"You just said that it would be best to arrange for your people to sneak into Everiska and then surround and kill Kalish directly. Why do you think he won't run away? If he is determined to escape, do you have any good countermeasures?"

If you cannot kill this kind of immortal enemy in one go, it is best not to provoke him. At least before the other party shows hostility or even before taking clear action, it is best not to take the initiative to cause trouble.

Of course, if you foresee that there will inevitably be hostility in the future or that it will inevitably cause greater trouble, resolving it in advance may not be the best option, just like the current situation.

It is difficult for Shado to draw a conclusion about the impact of Kalish's existence on Xamdas, but Kalish's existence is already an absolute threat to the North.

Solinkara did not directly answer the question raised by Shado, but only said: "We will never let the North down in terms of psychic power. As long as we let our people get close to Kalish, he will never be able to escape."

"Don't be so absolute. If you could really catch Kalish, you wouldn't have let him run back to the North before." Shado slapped him in the face without any hesitation.

Solinkara's face suddenly darkened, "That's because we weren't prepared before. When we were ready, Kalish's true body never appeared again."

"Okay, as you said, we can restrict Kalish's escape, but what if he commits suicide? Could it be that he will be reborn in the same place?" Xia Duo asked again.

And Sorin Kalin also answered again: “It is true that Kalish’s self-rebirth may not necessarily appear in the original place, but at the same time, we are confident that we can guide him to be reborn in the original place.

"Believe me! We have definitely thought more about killing Kalish than you have! And we are definitely better at it than you! If it weren't for the fact that Kalish has also integrated arcane magic, we wouldn't need you at all."

The latter statement can be described as completely out of anger, but for the Zhamdas people, perhaps this is what they really think.

Of course, Xia Duo was not very satisfied with this, so he proposed again: “Since you want to cooperate with the Northern Alliance, you should have already inquired about the recent change in Yeerlan’s attitude towards Kalish’s new artifact plan.

"This matter of cooperation definitely involves Yeerlan. How are you going to solve this problem? I just contacted Yeerlan's representative and he told Kalish about it the moment I got in touch with him."
