Lord of Arcane

Chapter 3214 Secretly assassinating Chen Cang
Fortunately, the current situation has not yet deteriorated to the point of world destruction.

On the one hand, the Illuminati has not yet discovered the specialness of their weapons. At least judging from the reaction of Isroda that Shado saw through Person's perspective, the Illuminati did not have any special reaction to the magic wand used to attack the Elan factory.

The scepter itself is indeed a powerful weapon, but compared with the consequences that the blue flame may cause, it is completely insignificant.

On the other hand, at the destruction site, as of now, although the blue flames show no signs of extinguishing themselves, they also have no signs of spreading outward.

As long as we control the scene and prevent people with bad intentions from approaching, at least maintaining the status quo shouldn't be a big problem.

However, the follow-up will still be a huge trouble. Even if the Illuminati is completely eliminated, this blue flame itself will arouse the research interest of the countries in the alliance.

It would be a great tragedy if the main plane was destroyed because of the irregular research or abuse of blue flames by various countries before the Dragon Madness Lock destroyed the world!
……

In the study, Xia Duo and Nia discussed for a long time, but because both of them had very limited knowledge of the blue flame, the discussion inevitably pointed to how to deal with the Illuminati.

"All countries should be serious this time. No one wants such a sword of annihilation to be in the hands of the conspirator. Regardless of whether he uses it or not, or even whether he has it or not, as long as there is such a possibility, all the alliance countries will not sit idly by."

Xia Duo is quite optimistic about the determination of the alliance countries to completely wipe out the Illuminati. However, he is a little worried that the Illuminati will abandon the time-related rituals and lie low, which would be difficult to deal with.

After all, he doesn't have the true identity of the leader of the Illuminati or the corresponding indisputable evidence. If the Illuminati is determined to hide, he really has no way to deal with those guys.

Of course, if the leaders of the Illuminati are really willing to completely give up subverting the timeline and any other conspiracy plans of the organization, then letting them hide is actually a good result.

It is similar to the statute of limitations for crimes on Earth, where criminals will no longer be held criminally responsible after a certain period of time.

However, given what the Illuminati have done, if it were on Earth, I'm afraid no one would be willing to set such a time limit for them, but would instead insist on getting to the bottom of it.

But the magical world is not the Earth. Judging from the objective situation of the current era in the main plane, as long as the Illuminati is really willing to give up its original plan, both the various countries and Shado can stop pursuing it and allow them to continue to exist.

……

After chatting with Nia for a while, Xia Duo's originally worried mood eased a little, and then the two had dinner in the Tower of Time.

After dinner, Nia took advantage of the rare time before tonight's sleeping ceremony to go to the laboratory, while Xiaduo returned to the study to contact Badigal.

When he was in Elan before, he had sent a message to the other party through Kuras, requesting that they send more people to Elan to participate in the investigation. Now he just wanted to confirm whether the Seventh Tower had sent anyone over.

Perhaps it was because Midsummer was busy on that day, or perhaps he was distracted by the attack in Elan, Badigal took a long time to reply.

"I've sent people over there. I told them to follow your orders. Also, Eerlan requested to hold an alliance meeting. What's the situation in Eerlan? Even if you ask Kuras, he won't be able to give you any useful information!"

"Yerlan may be hiding something. The situation is like this—"

Then, Xia Duo briefly introduced the blue flames found in Elan, especially mentioned the huge threat of the Illuminati mastering this method, and then mentioned his own opinion:
"Yerlan should be serious about taking action against the Illuminati. I think if it's not too troublesome, you should try to cooperate. The Illuminati is too dangerous. The sooner we get rid of them, the sooner we can have peace of mind!"

"I understand. After the alliance meeting tomorrow, I will learn about the relevant situation and will convene another remote meeting for everyone to discuss it together."

Hearing this answer, Shado was shocked and asked quickly, "Are you going to Evereska in person?"

"I have this plan. No matter how detailed it is, it won't be more thorough than knowing it in person. If the scene in Elan hadn't been closed, I would even want to go to Elan specifically."

Badigale's tone was not without regret. When he mentioned Elan, he seemed to have suddenly remembered something and quickly sent a message to Xia Duo, "I almost forgot to tell you that your teacher is among the people going to Elan this time. If there is any emergency, you can discuss and decide on your own first. You don't need to ask me."

These words were obviously more out of trust in Iolum than in Shado, but Shado didn't care. He and Iolum had similar ideas, and if the two of them discussed it, it would not violate his principles.

However, Shado was somewhat surprised that Iolum went to Elan in person. It seemed that Iolum was also aware of the potential risks in Elan, or Iolum found something of interest in Kuras' reply.

Thinking of this, Shado immediately turned his attention back to his incarnation on Elan's side and checked the magic settings in the tent. He did not find anyone visiting or sending messages. Then he turned his attention back to his original body and ended the communication with Badigal.

Judging from the situation, Iolum either went to another attack site or was delayed by something and has not yet arrived in Elan. Otherwise, even if Iolum did not contact him himself, Kuras should have helped to convey the message.

Not to mention that Badigal just mentioned that the people sent over must obey his command, so reporting to him should at least be a standard procedure!

Looking at the time, it was still early for the evening sleeping ceremony. Xia Duo turned around and realized the incarnation again, then directly summoned Iolum to ask if he was in trouble.

Unlike Badigale who stayed in Seventon, Iolum who had already left Seventon was obviously not that busy. As soon as Shado contacted him, he got a reply from there -

"I wanted to give you a surprise, but as soon as I arrived at Evereska, I was told that the portal to Elan was temporarily unavailable. I have just completed the entry procedures with Yeerlan, so I should be able to reach Elan soon."

Iolum then further explained that it was for security reasons that Yeerlan restricted great arcanists and high-level wizards from going to Elan, but it was not a complete restriction, as long as their identities were confirmed and the reasons were appropriate, they could still pass.

Iolum's trip was to assist Shado in investigating the Elam attack site. In addition to his official identity as a Netheril, he was also Shado's teacher in private, so his reason for entering the country was very sufficient.

But now is a sensitive period after all, and procedures are procedures after all. We can't just release it immediately without doing anything.

……

About half an hour later, Shado met Iolum in the temporary camp outside the first scene. In addition to Iolum, there were more than ten reinforcements, including two great arcanists from the Seventh Tower.

This time, Iolem's arrival not only brought help, but also brought some bad news -

It was when Iorum was handling the entry procedures in Evereska that Yeerlan asked him to bring it to Xia Duo after learning his identity.

"Yerlan has discovered unknown smuggling activities in Elan again. I hope you can check it yourself first. They should send someone to talk to you about this matter tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It seems that they don't want to cause unpleasantness with you."
