Lord of Arcane

Chapter 3205 Goodbye Philippa Matchmaking
Elam, Capea.

In this small town famous for its agriculture, Shado met the investigators from Yeerlan. The elf leading the team was also familiar to Shado - it was Philippa, whom Shado had dealt with during the Metriel incident.

After greeting each other, Xia Duo exclaimed: "I didn't expect that King Helien Mian would send you!"

"Didn't you come here in person?" Philippa was not surprised by Shado's arrival.

Then, the two sides talked about business. Philip asked Shado: "Has the Alliance contacted you? They said they were going to send observers to investigate together?"

When asking this question, Philippa deliberately observed Shado's expression carefully. It was not until Shado gave an affirmative answer and mentioned that he had agreed to let the Alliance send observers over that he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yerlan has agreed, so let's wait for them here for a while. If Consultant Xia Duo is interested, I can also let my people take you to visit the agricultural transformation of Capeya."

"Really? Then I'd like to take a closer look!" Considering that it would take some time to discuss the candidate for the alliance's observer, Shado accepted Philippa's invitation.

The so-called agricultural transformation was actually a project that Yeerlan was independently responsible for after he and Yeerlan had determined the Elan development plan. Philipfa invited him to visit at this time. Xia Duo felt that there might be two intentions in it -

One is to show Yeerlan's effectiveness in protecting Elam. Before, Elam was short of food, so Yeerlan transformed their agriculture, which also protected their food security.

Another reason is actually related to the choice of this meeting place. Capela’s agricultural transformation project has also had a great impact on Elan.

The Yeerlan side may not have discovered the Illuminati's special desire to control Elan, but since the attacks were all on key projects in Elan's development plan, it can be inferred that the attackers are very likely to attack other projects in the plan.

When heading to the Capella Agricultural Transformation Demonstration Area, Xia Duo noticed a large number of fully armed Yeerlan soldiers patrolling and guarding the demonstration area. It can be seen that the Yeerlan side has indeed paid attention to the security issues of the Elan development plan itself.

Previously, Yerlan’s garrisons were mostly in the big cities in the Elan region. For small agricultural cities like Capella, only a mobile team was stationed in the suburbs.

Now, the prevention efforts have been significantly improved by more than one level.

"Advisor Xia Duo also saw that the target of the attack that just happened was very clear, to destroy all the magic weapon factory projects in Elan's development plan. In this case, we have no choice but to take strict precautions."

"Does the Yeerlan side now suspect the mastermind of this attack? Mr. Philipa, would you please reveal it?" Xia Duo also took the opportunity to ask.

"What's the inconvenience? Consultant Xia Duo has also suffered huge losses this time, so he should know our judgment. At present, our main suspect is the Illuminati! As for why they attacked the Elan development plan, we haven't figured it out yet."

Philippa has a dignified and serious look, and the first impression he gives people is often that he is difficult to get along with. However, when facing Chateau, Philippa still behaves quite humblely.

"In addition to the Illuminati, we also suspect Xamdas!" Philipfa suddenly said shockingly.

Xia Duo was not surprised by this, because although Yeerlan had begun to support Kalish, they might not know the true relationship between Kalish and Zamdas.

In this case, it is indeed possible that the Yeerlan high-level officials believed that Zhamdas deliberately created this vicious incident in order to warn them to cooperate with Kalish.

If this is true, then things would be simple. The country of Zhamdas is such an obvious target. As long as we are sure that it was them who did it, all that remains is revenge.

But Shado knew that it was unlikely that Zhamdas was responsible for this attack. Not long ago, he had just met with the leader of Zhamdas' school with the help of a detection spell, and the other party also hoped that the North would help deal with Kalish!
At such a critical moment, with such a sudden attack, even if the psychic mage's mind is sometimes not quite right, it is not possible for everyone to go crazy at the same time.

However, Xia Duo did not immediately tell Filifa about his speculation. Instead, he changed the subject and asked Ye Erlan why he suddenly changed his attitude and supported Kalish:
"I'm confused. Kalish's so-called new artifact plan is so risky. It's impossible that Tevimansa didn't see it. Why did you change your mind in the end? What conditions did Kalish give that allowed you to ignore the entire northern people, including the people of Yeerlan, and make such a decision?"

"Advisor Xia Duo, we can discuss this topic another day or in another setting. Today is really not the right time." Philipfa also wanted to change the subject.

But perhaps he himself was also dissatisfied with Ye Erlan's decision. Philipfa's attitude in changing the subject was not firm, and he was obviously hinting at further questioning.

So, Shado directly pointed out Kalish's trump card: "Did Kalish promise immortality to King Helian Crown or even the elders of the Gaoshu Elder Council?"

After hearing this, Filifa was silent for a while, and then he began to explain as if he realized it belatedly: "Not entirely. The most important thing is that the Crown King and the Council saw hope for the advancement of arcane magic in Kalish."

"Is this the so-called resurrection trick?" Xia Duo went further.

This time, Philipfa didn't answer at all, but asked Shado instead: "Is this related to today's attack?"

"Of course it's related!"

Shado had previously promised to help Zhamdas to make connections, but at the same time he did not want to arouse Kalish's suspicion. If it was other countries that opposed Kalish's new artifact plan, it shouldn't be too difficult as long as they took precautions when speaking.

But for someone like Yerlan who is already together with Kalish, he might just say it and Yerlan will tell Kalish right after. What's the point of keeping it secret?
So when Xia Duo realized that Philippa seemed dissatisfied with Yeerlan's previous decision, he decided to reveal the news to Philippa.

It's not that he is 100% sure of his judgment, but there seems to be no other choice. He has to find a senior executive on Yeerlan's side to talk about it. Unless the other party is willing to let him check his consciousness, how can he be 100% sure that the other party is not colluding with Kalish!
Besides, Shado never promised Zhamdas that Kalish would never find out. He just promised to try his best to help with the matchmaking. Regardless of success or failure, he believed that Zhamdas had already prepared various contingency plans.

……

Therefore, after taking all kinds of protective measures to avoid detection and psychic detection, Shado told Philipa about Xamdas's request for cooperation.

After hearing this, Philip was silent for a long time, and then hesitantly asked Shado: "Have you cooperated with Zhamdas?"

"No, we would rather cooperate with the northern countries!" Xia Duo said casually.

And even if he was willing to cooperate with Xamdas, and even help smuggle some psychics into Evereska, it would not be difficult, but if he wanted to take action in the city of Evereska, he could not bypass the alliance countries.

As long as Xia Duo wants to survive in the North, he will not ignore the rules of the alliance.
