Arcane Lord

Dali looked at the Queen of Tide with a look of regret, calling her name, hoping to win some trust for himself as an uncle, but Tess had no other choice at this time. She stared at Dali with a calm face and asked the first question:

"Uncle Dali, please explain why you just sent a message to the outside world. Didn't you always dislike external contact in the past? Others are also doing the relevant work. Can you tell me who you just contacted?"

This is a question that Xia Duo and her have discussed, and it is a point that Dali has no way to refute. No matter how Dali answers, his true intention will be exposed.

Seeing that the queen actually asked this question, Dali was shocked. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer to gain the queen's trust, but he still kept a calm look on his face, and at the same time, he did not hide his hatred for outsiders.

"Uncle Dali, is this question difficult to answer?"

"I, I didn't send a message just now."

After thinking frantically, Dali still didn't admit that he had sent a message just now. This kind of thing is also difficult to prove. As long as he insisted that it was an outsider who framed him, the queen would definitely trust him more after all because he grew up under her care.

However, Xia Duo had expected Dali's little trick. The queen also had a response to Dali's answer. She continued to ask:

"Uncle Dali, please hand over the communication key for personal communication. I need to verify something."

Xia Duo had intercepted Dali's communication, but it was not cracked for the time being due to time constraints. However, if there was a key provided by Dali, it would be very easy to crack it.

But for the Queen of Tide, she already had some of Dali's communication keys, but the keys she had only corresponded to her private communication with Dali, and now she was asking for the part that Dali had.

In this way, even if there was no part of the key that the target of the communication had, it was enough to crack the encrypted information intercepted by Xia Duo with only the original key that Dali had.

Moreover, in this case, it is difficult for Dali to make up one temporarily, because the queen has the previous communication records that can be easily verified.

As for the communication intercepted by Xiaduo, it is encrypted by a completely independent original key, which is indeed impossible to crack directly, but the two original keys are designed by Dali alone, and there will always be some similarities in the thinking, which can also reduce the time of cracking.

For Xiaduo, as long as he gets Dali's communication key, there are only two results. One is that the key is true and corresponds to the encrypted information he intercepted. As long as it is cracked, it can basically be confirmed.

Another possibility is that the key is true, but it does not correspond to the encrypted information he intercepted, but because it comes from the same designer, the thinking is similar, which will also shorten the cracking time.

Of course, for Dali, he can also choose to refuse to hand over any communication secret key, or hand over a fake one, but once he does this, he can basically be identified as a traitor by the Queen of Tide.

As for the traitor, there is no mercy to talk about. Not to mention Xiaduo, even the queen herself has a lot of means to deal with him.

So now Dali is in a dilemma again. He just handed over the communication key, and did not search the house for inspection. He just verified it in this hall. If he did not hand it over, it would be too obvious.

But if he handed it over, it would be even more inappropriate. Others might not know, but Dali himself knew exactly what kind of information he had just transmitted outside!

…

Dali's hesitation may be due to his privacy concerns, but in the eyes of the Queen of Tide, it is almost the same as directly admitting it. According to her impression of Dali in the past, if this happened under normal circumstances, Dali would definitely hand over the communication key very happily and show his loyalty generously, but now——

He hesitated!

"Uncle Dali--"

The Queen of Tide's eyes drooped slightly, and she didn't say anything else, as if she was hurt by Dali's betrayal. At this time, Ira, who was watching, seemed to realize something, but he still couldn't believe that his friend who had known him for many years had betrayed the Queen. He called out his name loudly, asking him to do something to prove himself:

"Dali, isn't it just the communication key? The Queen wants to give it to her. We have lived for most of our lives, is there anything we can't let go of? Do you distrust me or the Queen?"

If the previous silence was still a little excusable, then now that Ira joined in the persuasion, she still remained silent, which undoubtedly explained the truth behind the silence--

Dali actually betrayed the Queen!

…

The atmosphere in the hall became visibly colder. Everyone was silent, not knowing what to do next. Xia Duo was the first to break the silence. He really didn't want to waste any more time:

"Queen Tess, time is urgent. Let me ask him next!"

Of course, this was just a superficial statement. According to what he and Tess had agreed privately, he needed to make a copy of Dali's consciousness. However, when he talked to Tess, he didn't directly say to make a copy of consciousness, but said that he had special interrogation skills.

Although Xia Duo's urging was due to objective circumstances and time really didn't allow them to waste any more, in Queen Tess's opinion, it was still suspected of coercion, but she couldn't think of a better solution for the time being.

And she didn't have much idea about the Illuminati's world-destroying crisis that Xia Duo mentioned, but it seemed that this was the only way for now.

Tess nodded silently. After receiving the signal, Shado immediately made a copy of Dali's consciousness. According to Dali's identity and strength, he directly made ten copies at one time, and then transferred them to the main body through the portable space.

While the main body was brute-forcing, the avatar also began to question Dali. Although he himself did not have much hope for such inquiries, how could the other party really speak?

At least it can save some retrieval time for the main body's cracking, and asking in front of the Queen of Tide can also show his frankness.

…

"When did you get in touch with the Illuminati? How did you get in touch?"

This is not only a question that Shado wants to know, but also a question that the Queen of Tide is concerned about. However, Dali seems to have decided to remain silent. He said nothing, but occasionally looked at Shado with eyes full of hatred.

"Let me guess your motive for colluding with the Illuminati is because of your dissatisfaction with the surface elves? In addition, the promise of a new world given by the Illuminati?" Shado continued.

He noticed that when he mentioned the Illuminati's promise of a new world, Dali's eyes flickered, as if he had hit the nail on the head. The Queen of Tides also had some questions about the Illuminati's promise of a new world that Shado had mentioned, and she privately summoned him to ask for answers.
