Lord of Arcane

While urging, Isroda led the way in front, and soon they arrived at the place where the equipment was stored in the secret hall. It was a semi-open stone chamber. In addition to the open entrance, there was also a passage inside that led to the test site next to it.

"Give them three sets of equipment." Isloda winked at the guards here, and then reminded Person and the other two, "Take the equipment and test it nearby. Tell me immediately if there are any problems."

"Ah."

Person nodded and silently put away the four pieces of equipment handed to him by the watcher - a spell scepter, a projection ring, and two amulets.

Afterwards, he quickly walked towards the testing ground next to him, but when he arrived at the testing ground, he was told that the only thing that could be tested here was the projection ring.

For other equipment, you can only learn how to use it and check the integrity of the energy circuit, and cannot use it directly.

In Isroda's words, the magic staff is used to destroy the alliance factory, and the amulet is used to save life. If I use it now, what will I use for the next action? Do I need to test it again?
In this case, the only option is trust.

While testing the projection ring, Person discovered that the person who gave them the instructions was none other than Isroda, but it made sense when he thought about it.

He and the other two, "Yangyan" and "Binghen", were all developed by Isiloda to join the Illuminati. Other people in the Illuminati should not arrange for them without going around Isiloda.

From this perspective, there might not be many people who know his true identity at present. Person secretly had some inappropriate thoughts in his mind.

Soon, after getting familiar with the equipment, at the urging of Isroda, Person and the other two stepped onto the teleportation array respectively. Unlike the point-to-point teleportation of the portal, the teleportation array was slightly less secure, but it could achieve point-to-many transmission and could also become the docking target of multiple other teleporters to increase the safety of their transmission.

The fact that Person and the other two stepped onto the teleportation array separately meant that they would not be teleported to the same location, and it also meant that their targets of attack were most likely not the same.

This situation inevitably made Person feel uneasy. There were three targets for attack on their side alone. Would there be more targets for attack on other teams that he didn't know about?

Furthermore, he wondered if all the targets of the attack were accomplices of the alliance? Were there innocent people among them? Were other teams also told that they did not need to kill civilians?

These questions kept echoing in Person's mind. After a moment of dizziness after the transmission, Person saw the surrounding environment clearly. It seemed to be the place he had been to on his previous mission.

But before he could think about it, the projection ring felt slightly hot, and he quickly activated the projection. It was not an ordinary magic image that could be seen by anyone, but a mental projection that could only be seen by the user.

This was an application of illusion, and Person was actually not very willing to accept this method of projection, after all, it required releasing part of his mind to a ring that could also be controlled by others, which was a high risk for any mage.

But Isroda strongly suggested that it would be difficult for him to object. After all, in addition to the mission objectives, the projection ring would also provide detailed guidance, just like now -

Person was not familiar with the geography of Elan at all. After activating the projection ring, he saw the route of action planned for him by Isroda, presented in front of him with incredible clarity.

"About ten miles south of here, the Alliance Factory is on the outskirts of a small town over there!"

Person was about to set off, but the projection in front of him that only he could see gave him another hint - asking him to eliminate all traces of his presence.

This reminder once again made Person's heart sink. He realized that Isroda was probably watching his every move in the secret hall at the back, and even -

He wanted to take another look at the projection ring on his left index finger, but his subconscious told him not to do that, so Person obeyed the reminder of his subconscious and began to erase the traces according to the prompts of the projection.

Fortunately, the detection-avoidance cloak he was wearing now could eliminate most traces. All he needed to do was to clear the footprints left by the teleportation and the traces of the teleportation itself.

As an elite mage, Person completed the trace cleaning work smoothly. Then the projection in front of him changed again, reminding him that it was time to go to the target location.

……

For an elite mage, a distance of ten miles is almost like going out for a walk, and soon Person saw the alliance factory indicated by the projection.

Hovering above the factory, Person had a clear view of the factory below. Unlike the heavily guarded alliance stronghold he had imagined, this factory looked like a slightly larger civilian workshop.

There were indeed twenty or thirty Elamite soldiers stationed on the periphery, but inside the factory, there were only normal-looking civilian workers, including humans. Although they seemed to be in a central position, they were completely different from the elf craftsmen that Person had in mind. Humans and ordinary elf workers got along very well.

"Is this the factory that the Alliance uses to produce computing pool connectors?" Person was puzzled again.

Of course, what puzzled him was not the properties of the factory, but the damage that the Illuminati told him about the things produced in the factory would cause to the demons. Was the Alliance really using the computing power pool to inspect and monitor the demons?

This question is difficult for Person to answer, because the computing power pool did appear at the same time as the comprehensive inspection of the demons, and it involves consciousness. It is indeed difficult not to suspect that the Alliance only recognizes the demons in public in order to weaken their will to resist because it has the computing power pool to completely control the demons.

But Person was not living completely in the special environment created for him by the Illuminati during this period. He lived in Termenos, a small inland town that was quickly transformed into a border fortress after Elam's independence.

Could such a place still be controlled by the Illuminati? Person didn't believe that the Illuminati was really that capable. Perhaps, just like Isiloda "developed" him, they also developed a key figure in the city.

However, Sruvend's defense of border cities is quite strict, and there is the counterexample of the city of Yerlanmetril. Today, even the city lord of Terminus cannot control the maze alone.

This may be one of the reasons why the Illuminati was able to infiltrate.

Person could believe that his life in Terminus was real, perhaps with some influence from the Illuminati, but it was unlikely that the Alliance's various images in Terminus were forged by the Illuminati.

Although he had never seen a demon descendant appear in public in Terminus, he had seen and experienced with his own eyes the mage community's admiration and love for the computing power pool, and he himself liked the computing power pool very much.

This is indeed a tool that can be called "great". Perhaps there is indeed a risk of mind invasion, but he believes that the original intention of the person who invented this great tool must not be to use it to monitor and persecute demons. (End of this chapter)
