Lord of Arcane

Chapter 3203: Countries Support Elimination of Suspects
"Please reply to E'erlan for me. I will go to E'erlan in person to participate in the investigation. Ask them to protect the scene and wait for me to go over and investigate."

Shado quickly made the decision that he would go to Elam. In addition to continuing to provoke the Illuminati, he also wanted to personally inspect the traces left at the scene after the Illuminati attack.

After all, he had only seen one attack through the perspective of "Broker" Person, and he was completely unaware of the other six attacks.

In addition, this was one of the few opportunities to openly doubt and investigate the Illuminati, and he didn't want to miss it.

Doom and Tirion were not surprised by Shador's decision. In their impression, Shador was indeed a person who cared about his people.

Tirion even made a promise on behalf of the Seven Towers, "If Lord Shador needs anything, you can contact me at any time, or notify the Council. The Seven Towers will do their utmost to support you."

"If necessary, I will, and I thank the Seven Towers for their generosity."

Then, Shado asked Tirion, "What is the Alliance's attitude towards this attack? Is there a formal investigation and countermeasure plan?"

Although most of the losses from the attack were borne by the Shaduo and Yerlan families, their activities in Elan were all under the banner of the alliance. If the Elan development plan was successful, the alliance would also be able to share some of the profits.

The current situation is indeed very unfortunate, but the Alliance cannot just take the benefits and do nothing, not to mention that both Netheril and Yerlan have huge say within the Alliance.

As for the terrorist attack itself, this time it did happen in Elam and has little to do with other countries, but other countries don't want similar incidents to spread to their own countries, right?

So in Shado's opinion, the Alliance should have a more intense reaction, and Tirion did not disappoint him:

"As soon as the incident happened, representatives from various countries informed me. They were also very indignant about this incident, but considering the investment of Consultant Xia Duo and Yeerlan who were attacked, they would not make any statement without your and Yeerlan's permission. But one thing is certain, as long as the clues of the attacker are found, all countries will try their best to cooperate."

At this point, Tirion glanced at Doom again, and the two exchanged glances, then continued to explain: "In fact, I came to Doom this time just to wait for you. Doom told me that the first place you would come to when you come to the headquarters is definitely his.

"As for the purpose of my coming, in addition to bringing greetings from the Seven Towers and the Parliament, I also shoulder the mission of the Alliance, which is that representatives of various countries also request to join the investigation, at least to participate in the investigation process of you and Ye Erlan."

"Is this a condition?" asked Xia Duo.

"No, even if you all refuse, all countries will still try their best to cooperate in tracking down the attackers. However, since there is no information sharing, all countries will inevitably waste time re-investigating to confirm the authenticity of the clues. So my opinion is - if it does not involve secrets, you might as well let all countries send observers to investigate with you."

Tirion's explanation was reasonable and well-founded. After thinking about it, Shado verbally agreed, but he also said, "There is no problem on my side, but I can't guarantee it on Yeerlan's side."

"How can we trouble Lord Shado to persuade Yeerlan again? A representative from Komanso has already gone to Yeerlan. I believe that news will come soon. All countries are grateful for your open-mindedness, no matter good or bad."

After Tirion finished speaking, he apologized and hurried away, saying that he was discussing with representatives from various countries to determine the next observer candidates. It was obvious that he believed that the representative of Cormanthor had a great chance of successfully persuading Yerlan.

After Tirion left, only Shado and Doom were left in Doom's office. Shado thanked Doom and was about to leave, but Doom stopped Shado and asked:
"Does Counselor Shado have any doubts about the identity of the mastermind behind this attack?"

"If this attack didn't happen in Elan, I might suspect Kalish, but this attack also caused huge losses to Elan's interests, and it might even cause the outside world to question their continued right to protect Elan. If it was Kalish who did it, Elan might have to change its attitude towards the new artifact plan again."

And the most crucial thing is that the urgency of this matter has exceeded Kalish's new artifact plan. Before this matter reaches a result acceptable to all parties, Kalish's new artifact plan will probably be shelved indefinitely.

Although Shado also wanted to implicate Kalish in the attack, it was difficult for him to come up with a reason that would convince others.

Of course, what's more important is that he already knows who the attacker is, and the Illuminati is also an unstable factor that poses a huge potential threat to him.

In this case, there is no need to drag Kalish into the water, just focus on dealing with the Illuminati.

"Currently, the relationship between the North and other countries is relatively stable. Even if it is Zhamdas, there is no need for them to do such a thing at this critical juncture. After eliminating various possibilities, the answer is obvious - the Illuminati!"

Indeed, even if Chateau had not confirmed through "chicken" Person that the attack was caused by the Illuminati, the main suspect could have been locked on the Illuminati through the process of elimination.

Currently, the internal and external relations of the Northern Alliance are relatively stable. Except for the Illuminati, no other force has any reason to carry out such a terrorist attack. Otherwise, if it were discovered, they would basically be cut off from the North and the main plane.

I don’t know how much it will cost to settle this matter. It may be impossible to settle it at all.

So there is only one answer, which is the Illuminati. Xia Duo believes that the countries in the North can also make such a judgment. However, just after conducting a comprehensive test on the demons, the Illuminati has caused such a big thing, which may have an immeasurable impact on the future situation of the demons in the North.

"Lord Shado, could you tell me how much you know about the Illuminati?" Doom addressed Shado by his identity in Netheril, undoubtedly hoping to bring the two sides closer in this way.

But how could Shaduo easily reveal such a crucial secret? Even if he revealed it to Doom, it would probably only increase the other party's worries and fears.

The real leaders of the Illuminati are not the diehard demons as the Northern Alliance currently believes, but are most likely among the top leaders of various countries.

Once this shocking secret was leaked, Doom himself would be dead, but the key point was that it exposed Shado's speculation about the true identity of the mastermind behind the Illuminati, which would most likely trigger a crazy counterattack from the Illuminati.

In this case, no matter how many resources Xia Duo controls or how strong his military force is, as long as he cannot overwhelm the entire Northern Alliance in one fell swoop, he still has to abide by the rules of the alliance.

Under the rules of the alliance, as long as there is no conclusive evidence that a certain elf is the leader of the Illuminati, the elven countries will definitely be more willing to believe the prophets with whom they have a vested interest, rather than Shado.

If you alarm the snake, it will be difficult to catch it.
