Chapter 3389: A trip to Erintal, a bad feeling
In this case, should we only be satisfied with winning the rest of the local battlefields after obtaining the support of war spells?
This is a big issue related to the life and death of countless creatures in the main plane. How could it be treated so lightly? On this issue, Xia Duo felt that he should try his best to try every possible means of victory.
This attitude of the elven countries is too rash.
But fortunately, not all countries have always opposed Shado's proposal. At least Netheril fully supports him at the moment, and Evriska, who is temporarily under his asylum, also expressed support.
In addition, there is a country that Shado did not expect - Irfalan.
This golden elf country is considered an ally of Netheril. It often drifts away from the mainstream elven world, and is almost hostile to Cormanthor. However, after the establishment of the Northland Alliance, no matter what the relationship between the (major) countries was in the past, it is now very different. has tended to ease.
Under this situation, Ilfaran also had his own demands and voices, and was not entirely on the same front as Netheril.
For example, the "Magic Restriction Treaty" spearheaded by Cormanthor was originally intended to target developing countries like Netheril. However, as an ally, Ilfarang voted in favor without saying a word.
Later, things developed beyond the expectations of Cormanthor and other countries. Within the framework of the alliance, magic in various countries had greater development needs and room for development. The magic restriction treaty not only restricted Netheril, but also restricted themselves.
As a result, the Demon Restriction Treaty was abolished, and what reappeared on the negotiating table was the more neutral Demon Network Protection Treaty.
Because of the magic restriction treaty, the relationship between Ilfaran and Netheril turned cold for a while. Later, without the magic restriction treaty, the relationship between the two countries warmed up again, but they could never return to the close state before the alliance was established.
Under such circumstances, Shado naturally did not expect much from Elfaran, but in the end, Elfarang gave him a surprise.
And this surprise was not only about the support for his proposal, but also about the fact that Ilfaran was actually connected to the sea elves.
…
Of course, the continental elven countries on the main plane have not completely severed ties with the sea elves. Some ancient families with a long history still maintain the traditions dating back thousands of years, and it is normal to maintain contact with the sea elves.
The reason why Xia Duo proposed this breakthrough direction was because he hoped that families from various countries who still have connections with sea elves would participate in the investigation, and at least the clue of sea elves should be eliminated.
But on the surface, sea elves and wing elves have long been legendary existences. No country has ever publicly acknowledged the existence of sea elves, let alone maintained contact with them.
From this point of view alone, the top management of Ilfarang does have a lot of capacity.
"Ambassador Septalis, is there any information that Ilfaran can provide about the sea elves?"
"Actually, we don't know much about the sea elves. If Consultant Xia Duo hadn't actually shown clues about the sea elves, we wouldn't have mentioned it proactively. If Consultant Xia Duo still wanted to know more, please go to Ai Linthal talks in detail.”
Septalis did not want to completely disclose the information about the sea elves held by Ilfran, but after putting forward this condition, he immediately said:
"If Advisor Xia Duo is worried that the trip will be in vain, then I can guarantee that it will not be. After our confirmation, the sea elf magic in the underwater battlefields such as Teardrop Lake has fresh marks of the times, and is definitely not an ancient magic found in the pile of old papers. ”
This is equivalent to confirming Shado's speculation, that is - it is very likely that sea elves have joined the Illuminati and participated in the final decisive battle with the Northland Alliance.
With the guarantee from the representative of Ilfaran, Shado also had the idea of going to Eilintar (the capital of Ilfaran) in person, but at this time, representatives from other countries showed up again——
"If the clues about the sea elves are true, we can't just ask Elfaran to pay. We are also willing to contribute to the investigation."
The subtext, of course, is that they also want to share Ilfaran's exclusive information about the sea elves.
In the command network, Septalis was silent for a moment, as if he was asking for instructions from above. After a moment, he replied: "Yes, the ruling advisory group has agreed. If the countries are willing, they can also send envoys to Erintal."
…
Due to time constraints, Shado had no time to prepare anything. He simply told Doom a few words and then set foot on the portal to Erintal.
The magical world is so convenient. Even if they are far apart, with the connection of the portal, they seem to be close at hand. This is the relationship between Elintar and Everriska.
Prior to the establishment of the Northland Alliance, almost all countries had built permanent portals connected to Everesca, and the one in Netheril was at the headquarters of the Alfa Federation.
However, since Everesca was attacked by the Illuminati not long ago, Shado intercepted it from the mountain platform where it was located and placed it under the protection of Yongle City. This move caused concerns in various countries, and many countries temporarily closed it. Portal with Everriska.
The permanent portal only means that the facility is solid and does not require regular maintenance and can be opened all the time, rather than being closed immediately after opening. In fact, whether to open or close the portal is decided jointly by both parties.
To open it requires the consent of both parties, but to close it only requires the consent of one party. (As the alliance headquarters, Evereska cannot refuse to open the portal under normal circumstances~)
This time, in order for envoys from all over the world to gather in Erintal, Ilfarang temporarily opened the portal.
…
Walking out of the portal, the first thing that Shado looked at was not the magnificent urban buildings of Erintar, but the distant west, where the sea and sky merged into one.
Under the seemingly calm sea, it is unknown how many unknown conspiracies are hidden.
"Good day, respected guest of the Alliance! Please come this way, King Lorien and Chief Administrative Advisor Vazele are waiting for you in the Courtyard of the Sun!"
The voice of the palace guard interrupted Shado's deep thoughts, and then he followed the other party to board the flying platform, which is one of the means of transportation in the city, and flew straight into the sky.
The Courtyard of the Sun is located directly above Erintar. It is not the highest, but it is also at a higher position in the city, and it is also a floating building without any support.
Shado had been here several times before, and he was not unfamiliar with it. As the flying platform silently merged into a gap on the edge of the Courtyard of the Sun, Shado was also reminded that he could get off the "car".
After that, it was a short detour to the central garden of this suspended courtyard, where many informal meetings of Ilfarran with the outside world were held.
As they moved forward, Xia Duo was actually somewhat puzzled. This time, the Crown King of Ilfarang and the Chief Executive were present in person.
Forget about the Crown King. The Crown King of Ilfarang is the most unimpressive Crown King in the entire Northland. Most of the power in the country is still in the hands of the Executive Advisory Group headed by Wazele.
In theory, Ilfarang only needs to provide some information about the sea elves, and Wazele does not need to come in person. Such an arrangement inevitably gave Xia Duo a bad premonition about the next meeting.
It was not that he was worried about the other party's attitude, but he was worried that the things behind the clue of the sea elves might be far more serious than expected.
