Arcane Lord

After the meeting, Shado did not leave with Tirion, but took a detour to the archives and sat down in a reception room next to the archives.

After a while, an elf with a tired face appeared in the reception room, but he did not sit down, and did not even enter the room completely. He just stood at the door and looked at Xia Duo:

"Advisor Xia Duo, is there anything that cannot be said during the interrogation? Do you have to let me come here?"

"This matter is very important. It must be said in person to appear solemn."

Xia Duo did not directly tell what happened, but called Osmantus in. After the other party entered the door, Xia Duo immediately closed the door and cast a spell to avoid detection. After doing this, he said to Osmantus:

"I would like to ask Ambassador Osmantus to issue me an entry permit. I cannot disclose the reason for this matter for the time being. I will explain it later. Now I guarantee with my reputation that this matter will only benefit Yeerlan, not harm it."

"You want an entry permit?" When Osmantus heard this, his first reaction was to refuse. Yeerlan is already in such a mess now. If Xia Duo is allowed to get involved, is he afraid that it will not be chaotic enough?

But thinking of the credibility guarantee that Shado mentioned, Osmantus hesitated again. Although he had no good feelings towards Shado, a human, he had to admit that -

In terms of credibility, Shado, a human, was probably more trustworthy than most elves.

This was of course not just based on Shado's past behavior. The existence of the Great Xia Code also played a considerable supporting role.

Since the first day that the Great Xia Code appeared in the elf world, many elves, including Osmantus, have studied it. Their judgment on this code is - too ideal and too unrealistic.

At the same time, there are also evaluations of Shado - if he is not a madman, he must have too grand plans. Obviously, Shado is not a madman, and although they think the code is unrealistic, it is undeniable that such a code is also likely to create an extremely powerful civilization.

For such a Shado, many elves will not simply regard him as a Netherese or an Oriental, but respect and vigilance coexist, and need to be treated with caution when it is too late to suppress him.

Osmantus recognized Xiaduo's credibility, but he didn't want to agree to Xiaduo's request so hastily, even though he had the power, he still wanted to know more.

"Advisor Xiaduo, since this matter has no harm to Yeerlan, why can't you tell it? Although I am willing to believe you, I also have to be responsible to the crown king and parliament at home!"

"In fact, I can completely ignore this entry permit." Xiaduo was unwilling to explain too much.

But Osmantus was obviously not so easy to deal with. Hearing Xiaduo's hint, he smiled and said to Xiaduo:

"With Advisor Xiaduo's ability, he can certainly enter Yeerlan without an entry permit, but I don't think Advisor Xiaduo will do that!"

Looking at Xiaduo's words and deeds in the alliance, it is not difficult to find one of the common points, or a weakness in the eyes of many people, including Osmantus, has been discovered and even used by many people, that is--

too concerned about order and too much compliance with rules.

It doesn't mean that other people don't care about order and don't follow the rules, but as a superior, they are already qualified to play with order and change the rules. This is indeed the biggest difference between Shado and other superiors.

However, Shado didn't want to be easily controlled by Osmantus. He pointed out a fact: "Don't forget that I kidnapped Prince Sel!"

The implication is that he doesn't necessarily follow the rules.

But Osmantus was more determined when he heard this, "I also know about that incident. To be fair, you didn't kidnap Prince Sel, but arrested a thief. The follow-up of that incident also confirmed my judgment."

Of course, this is Osmantus's evaluation of this incident from the perspective of Yeerlan. If he was a Cormanso elf, the result would be different. It must be the despicable and shameless Nether people who kidnapped our little prince and asked us for a ransom.

It is precisely because of the bystander that we can be relatively objective.

He does not think that this incident is proof that Shado ignores order. After all, Prince Sel did carry the Betis scroll lost by Netheril with him.

Although some mages believe that the ownership of this ancient book is still controversial, it is generally recognized by all countries as belonging to Netheril, which is the fundamental reason why the name of the Nether Scroll has not been denied by all countries.

The Nether people kidnapped people earlier or later, but they kidnapped Prince Sel at that time. This ability is enough to explain the problem.

If Shado ignored the order, he should have kidnapped important figures in Cormanthor at will, but this did not happen in reality. Instead, it once again proved that Shado valued and respected the order.

"This is the first time I have heard an ambassador-level elf evaluate the incident so fairly. Later, Cormanthor always denied and treated it as non-existent."

Shado teased Osmanthus a little, regardless of whether the other party understood it or not, but the most important thing at the moment was to get an entry permit. He did abide by the order, but at the same time he was not such a rigid person.

Otherwise, he would not have sneaked into Cormanthor to capture the prophet Pafen.

This time is the same. If he is alone, he doesn't care whether Yeerlan blocks its territory. He can enter whenever he wants. As long as he is not caught, it is the same as not having been there.

But this time, he asked for an entry permit not for himself, but for the glorious envoy who will come to the main plane next.

Once the envoy appears in Yeerlan, and even continues to track the Moon Shadow Family, it will be impossible to hide it from Yeerlan. And even if it can be hidden, Xia Duo can't let the envoy hide like a spy.

So it is better to have a legal entry permit.

"Ambassador Osmantus, I don't have much time to debate with you here. I think there are many things in Yeerlan that need your attention. Why don't we take a step back? I will reveal some more, but you can't ask any more questions, otherwise I would rather not have this entry permit."

This is Xia Duo's last bottom line. Osmantus made such a judgment. Based on his understanding of Xia Duo, since he said so, he would definitely do so. He thought about it and finally nodded in agreement.

"Counselor Xia Duo, please speak!"

"It's related to the Illuminati. If it's convenient, I would also like to ask the ambassador to help me get a reading permit for the Tevimansa Star Library, which can enter the collection library."

Tourists can enter the Star Library, but what they see are just some popular books. For ordinary people, it may increase their knowledge, but for Xia Duo, the value is very limited.

The most important thing is that that part is unlikely to involve secrets such as the Moon Shadow Family and the Prophet.
