Chapter 3403 Forced Invitation

"You can tell me now!" The Queen of Tide looked a little unhappy.

However, Xia Duo did not feel the other party's real dissatisfaction. He thought it was just a pretense. Of course, even if it was true, he didn't care.

After confirming that there were no other irrelevant people in the Hall of Stars, Xia Duo first briefly introduced the existence of the Illuminati, and then told about the discovery of traces of sea elf magic in the Illuminati, and made a request in the name of the alliance:

"The Illuminati has become the enemy of the whole world, and now it is a critical moment, so here I represent the Northern Alliance and hope that the Queen will cooperate with our investigation."

"You want me to cooperate with the investigation?"

If the unhappy expression on the face of the Queen of Tide just now was just a pretense, then now it is really full of emotions, and this emotion is enough to make Xia Duo feel the anger of the other party like a volcano erupting even from a distance.

Not only that, there is also the real tidal force looming, as if it will send a thundering blow in the next moment.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Advisor Shado means that the situation is urgent and only by working together can the Illuminati's plan to destroy the world be stopped. In this regard, whether it is the Northern Alliance, Sinaria, or Belluno, they are all fellow travelers struggling to survive in the crisis of world destruction. If we have a conflict, wouldn't it be the Illuminati that gets the upper hand?"

At present, in the Hall of Stars, Shado is the representative of the alliance, and Master Tyron and other alliance mages are all his subordinates. Only Mela can serve as the middleman between the Northern Alliance and Belluno. She quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

But such an explanation did not satisfy the Queen of Tide. She stood on the steps where the throne was, looking down at Shado, and said in a cold voice:

"The world-destroying crisis is just your one-sided statement, but it makes me doubt my people. I have to doubt your purpose. Aren't you afraid of angering me and then burying yourself in the sea?"

The queen said so, but she didn't really do it. The meaning was obvious. Either she began to believe in Shado, but there was no further evidence, or she didn't dare to do it. In any case, Shado would not worry.

Mela wanted to continue explaining, but Shado stopped her. He didn't want to put himself in the position of a supplicant, and the Alliance didn't allow him to put the Alliance here.

"The Illuminati's theory of destroying the world is not a lie. I won't explain too much about this. It's hard to understand without personal experience, but I want to remind the Queen that-"Although the traces of sea elf magic we found in the Illuminati may allow us to track down further clues and play a certain positive role in the war, this is not necessary, and it is definitely not a place where Belluno can control the Alliance.

"I came here just to fulfill my duty, because I did find the sea elves, but if the queen insists on not cooperating, then I will leave now.

"Next, no matter what the outcome of the decisive battle with the Illuminati is, it has nothing to do with Belluno. If the Illuminati wins, the whole world will be destroyed. If the Alliance wins, all the remnants of the Illuminati will be liquidated after the war.

"That's all. The Queen can decide whether to cooperate or not!"

If there were still Queen's advisors in the Hall of Stars, Shado would not force the other party in front of the Queen of Tides' subjects, but now there is only the Queen of Tides herself, and forcing is too ugly, but it is indeed as he said, the Queen can decide this matter with a single word.

Of course, even if the Queen of Tides refuses verbally, Shado will not really leave. It's nothing more than a complete breakup. As he just said, Belluno has been found, and it is impossible to give up easily.

After all, there is only this one clue at the moment. If you give up, time may not be on the side of the Alliance for them to find other clues.

Now, because Xia Duo didn't want to waste time arguing, he said it directly. The pressure immediately came to the Queen of Tide. She frowned and stared at Xia Duo, as if she wanted to find some flaws in Xia Duo's expression.

But Xia Duo was very calm. She looked at the Queen of Tide, and the anger on the Queen of Tide's face gradually subsided, and her expression became extremely solemn. Although she was very angry, she also knew that she was facing a crucial choice.

Her choice may not determine the fate of the whole world, but it is very likely to change the fate of Belluno.

She didn't want to make such a choice, at least she didn't want to make a choice when she was forced to have no way out. Thinking of this, she resented Xia Duo even more.

It's just that unlike just now, she could show her anger by not understanding the current situation. If she continues to show her anger now, it will not be a good thing if the other party thinks it is a rejection.

In the final analysis, even if the Queen of Tides thinks that she has the ocean as a barrier, she is still wary of the land, not to mention the alliance of countries on land, whose power is so strong that the ocean may not be able to become a barrier for Belluno.

Or standing on the side of the so-called Illuminati, just hearing from the other party that the purpose of the Illuminati is to destroy the world, what is the difference between standing on the side of the Illuminati and committing suicide!

But the Queen of Tides was unwilling to agree to the other party's request. This is just to cooperate with the investigation. If there are further requests in the future, should they also be agreed to?

She was worried that after opening this gap, she would no longer be able to maintain independence.

...

Just when the Queen of Tides was hesitant, Shado suddenly spoke: "Just now, Sinaria has sent a formal application to the alliance to join.

“Currently, the Alliance is busy dealing with the annihilation crisis caused by the Illuminati, but there should be no surprises in agreeing to Sinaria’s application for membership after the war.

"If Belluno is willing, he can also join the alliance. In this way, the investigation will only be conducted within the alliance, and Her Majesty the Queen will have a reasonable explanation to her subjects.

"In return, after the war, I can propose to the alliance as an advisor to allow Belluno to open up a new home in the alliance's offshore area and carry out more cooperation."

Inviting Belluno to join the alliance was not a random decision made on the spur of the moment, but a decision made by Sha Duo after he had fully understood Belluno on the way here.

Of course, the premise is that Belluno is willing to cooperate with him in investigating clues about the Illuminati.

As for Sinaria's application to join the alliance, he did not make it up casually, but it was actually received by the alliance headquarters and handed over to the alliance headquarters not long after they left Sinaria.

It was just that this information had not been synchronized to him at that time. It was not until the representatives of the alliance had discussed that they had just synchronized Sinaria's application for joining the alliance and the preliminary opinions of each country to him.

In principle, the alliance welcomes any country within the Northland to join. Although Sinaliya is located a little further away, it can still be considered within the Northland.

But in fact, because of the newly discovered mithril mines in the Gray Peak Mountains, the countries in the alliance do not want to have another mouth to share this big cake.
