Lord of Arcane

However, although many people in Xia were at the celebration, their hearts had already flown to the various cooperative factories and construction sites far away in Elam.

It was just past noon and the celebration blessing ceremony was in progress. No bad news had been received from Elan, and the soul summoning array of the Tower of Time remained in an activated standby state.

This kind of uncertain waiting is the most tormenting. For a moment, Xia Duo wanted to give up his original plan and immediately notify the people to return home, but he didn't do it after all.

We have already made so many preparations, just waiting for the Illuminati to reveal more clues. We cannot give up easily.

……

The Illuminati has not taken any action, and Shado is in agony. Person, who has fallen into the control of the Illuminati again, is also in agony. Two days ago, he received a notice to go to Elan today to participate in the attack on the Alliance-supported magic weapon factory (Shado and Yerlan's activities in Elan are endorsed by the Alliance and are also carried out in the name of the Alliance).

But it was already noon, and neither Isroda nor the Guardian of Dawn had given him the signal to set off. At this point he even wondered if the Illuminati wanted to test him by going to Elam alone?

Fortunately, this thought only flashed through his mind. Person knew that he could only cross the border into Elan under the arrangement of the Illuminati, so he waited for this signal.

He also always kept in mind Isroda's instructions not to contact anyone during the operation - including Isroda, the Guardian of Morning Light, and other people around Person.

"Damn it, is this another lie?"

It's no wonder that Person thought so. He was invited by Isroda to participate in the demon transformation ceremony in the Morning Light Secret Temple. However, that ceremony was the target of a surprise attack by the Alliance, and Isroda and the Guardian of Morning Light were killed on the spot.

But he later found out that the Illuminati actually knew that the Alliance was going to attack, so they deliberately arranged that incident. Could it be that their attack on the Alliance facilities this time was also a false alarm?

The more Person thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high. After all, he knew that the Illuminati had never truly trusted him. He was just caught by the Illuminati and could not escape.

At this time, he already regretted that when Isiloda "came back to life" and appeared in front of him, he should not have had any illusions, but should have immediately asked the Alliance for help.

But this thought only lasted for a moment. He knew that if Isiloda did not get the desired result when he reappeared in front of him, he would definitely not have a good ending.

As for asking for help or informing on others, that could only be thought of in dreams. He was probably being watched by Illuminati spies in every move he made!
However, after waiting for so long without any result and under the tremendous pressure of attacking the alliance facilities, Person could not help but pace back and forth in the courtyard to relieve his restlessness and anxiety.

……

In this way, another hour passed slowly. Person could no longer bear the pressure in his heart and wanted to go find Isroda. He knew that the other party was living in Terminus, so he really needed to go and take a look.

However, as soon as he walked out of the door, he ran into the expressionless Isloda. Person panicked and was about to explain when he saw Isloda casually throwing a light gray cloak at him.

"Put it on and follow me."

When Person saw this situation, he immediately realized that the attack that had been notified before might be real, so he took the cloak and put it on.

Only then did he realize that he had been standing under the scorching sun for an hour or two, and the constant temperature barrier used for heat insulation had long been ineffective. Now, putting on the cloak thrown by Isloda, he was suddenly awakened by the coolness of the cloak.

"Where are we going now? Out of town?" Person asked curiously.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. I'll tell you what you should know!"

Isiloda did not answer Person directly, which made Person feel even more regretful, but he did not know what to say, so he could only follow Isiloda silently.

Just like that, after walking through a block, in front of an inconspicuous house, Isloda suddenly spoke: "Remember this, this is your safe house.

"I will give you a teleportation amulet later. If anything unexpected happens, you can activate the amulet and teleport here. There is a portal connecting to the secret palace, but you are only allowed to use it once.

"We need to evaluate your safety afterwards to determine whether to grant you permission to use it next time. If your identity is exposed, be prepared to stay in the secret hall for the rest of your life!"

"clear."

Person closed the hood of his cloak, subconsciously trying to hide his true expression, but Isroda's arrangement still gave him some comfort. Fortunately, he didn't kill the other person outright, otherwise he would have wanted to kill him.

……

Isiloda did not take Person into the safe house through the main gate, but took a detour to an alley and entered through a secret door in the wall. Although it was a safe house prepared for Person, Isiloda did not seem unfamiliar with using it.

Once inside, it is just a very ordinary civilian residence of elves. The real meaning is underground. The well in the yard is cast with a spell. By jumping down, you can reach an underground space directly. That is where the real safe house is.

Person followed Isloda and jumped into the well without saying a word. Judging from his magical attainments as an elite wizard, the surface of the well should have been cast with a short-distance teleportation spell. The real safe house was not actually under this house, but it was certain that it should be nearby.

When they arrived at the safe house, Isloda invited Person to sit down and wait like a host. "Sit for a while. There are still two companions who haven't arrived yet. When they arrive, we will go to the secret hall together."

"Isn't this my safe house? How come other people know about it?" Person finally couldn't help but ask.

In response, Isroda also explained, "It is your safe house, yes, but it is also the safe house of your two companions. Do you think it is easy to build such a safe house?"

"Who are those two companions? Do they have to go to the secret temple with us?" Person instinctively didn't want more people to know his current identity, even if they were all members of the Illuminati. But every time someone more knew his identity, there would be an extra risk. He saw this very clearly.

As Person's recommender, Isroda probably knew more about Person than Person himself. As soon as Person opened his mouth, he knew what the other party wanted to say, so he told Person:
"Don't worry, your identity is only known to me and the Guardian of Morning Light. Similarly, don't ask about the true identities of those two companions. Just call them by their code names. You can come up with a code name for yourself!
"As for why I went to the secret temple with them, it was of course to reduce the risk of exposure as much as possible. Do you think it is easy to teleport directly from the city to the secret temple? Every additional teleportation increases the risk of exposure." (End of this chapter)
