Chapter 3472 Key Elements of Awakening

————It will be later~~

Shado is of course more inclined to take a safe approach, just like he is now, after careful consideration, he decided to go to Belluno to get the Time Stone first.

As for the Moon Shadow Family, it is already known that they are hiding in the Linnaeus District of Tevimansa, and even the true identity of the Illuminati wise man can be used as a trump card.

If the preparation is proper, Daphne may be captured in one fell swoop, so that the subsequent local battlefield alliances can all win--

From the scale of the Illuminati's decisive battle in the previous timeline, I am afraid that it has been arranged almost at this moment, just waiting for an opportunity to completely break out.

So Shado would not consider going to the Underdark to ambush. The Underdark, which is the core ritual site of the Illuminati, is probably already under the control of the Illuminati, and the ritual may even be in progress.

Thinking of this, Shado's sense of urgency became heavier. Since he had made a decision, he would not hesitate at all. He did not notify anyone and quietly left Tevimansa immediately.

After that, he sped all the way and soon left the territory of Yeerlan. He stopped when passing the border of Ilfarran. If possible, Shado still hopes to enter Belluno in a normal way, rather than sneaking in secretly, which may change the relationship between Belluno and the Northern Alliance.

In the previous timeline, Belluno's Tide Queen Tess was hesitant about whether to join the alliance, and Shado also learned about Belluno's plan to develop the southern continent when interrogating Dali in the previous timeline.

Although the Alliance can be called a powerful force in the main plane, it is not the only one. It will be difficult to radiate its influence to places outside the North for quite a long time. Once Belluno successfully develops the south, there may be different developments in the future.

For the Alliance, if it wants to expand its influence to places outside the North, it is almost an inevitable choice to continuously accept new allies. Belluno has an advantage in the ocean, and once it joins the Alliance, there will be other benefits.

It is not only beneficial to the Alliance, but also extremely beneficial to Shado himself. For example, Belluno can be used as a "catfish" in the Alliance to promote the popularization of magic in various countries.

As for winning them over as allies of Netheril, it was secondary.

If Shado sneaked in and even kidnapped Queen Belluno's advisor this time, it would simply be a way to push Belluno out of the alliance. Even if there were more explanations afterwards, there might still be a gap.

It would be better to openly explain the interests. Although this would be a bit of coercion, it would undoubtedly be more honest and generous than sneaking in.

So Shado contacted Septalis again and tried to make a final effort. After sending the message, Shado suppressed the urgency in his heart, adjusted his emotions and waited patiently.

Soon, he received a reply from Septalis, which was beyond his expectations. He originally thought that there might not be any results from Ilfaran in the short term, but Septalis said--

"After receiving the news, the ruling advisory group attached great importance to it. They immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss it, and finally decided to choose to trust Advisor Shado. After all, it concerns the entire Northern Alliance and even the entire main plane. It cannot be concealed for the benefit of Ilfaran. The chief ruling invites you to come to Erintar to meet and discuss this matter."

After receiving such news, Shado's heart finally fell. There are still more rational people in this world, and fortunately, this world is in the hands of rational people.

Since Ilfaran has already issued an invitation, Shado will not delay and immediately inform Septalis about his entry itinerary.

Soon, he met Septalis who had been waiting here in the Erintar teleportation hall and the Tyran wizard who had dealt with Netheril many times.

"Welcome, Advisor Shado."*2

"Thank you for waiting here. Time is running out. Please take me to see Mr. Vazele immediately."

"The Chief Consul and the Crown King are both in the Courtyard of the Sun. Please follow me."

Septalis left on his own after receiving Shado. It was Teren who took Shado to the Courtyard of the Sun. Along the way, Shado couldn't help but feel a little dazed. This scene has appeared more than once in his memory.

However, in the previous timelines, he got the news of Belluno from Ilfaran only after the Tanzania Operation, and it was Teren who took him to the Courtyard of the Sun to meet with the Chief Consul and the Crown King of Ilfaran.

But now, all this happened before the Tanzania Operation, even before Shado and Daphne met for the first time, and before the decisive battle between the Illuminati and the Alliance began.

Of course, the war had already started, but Shado only had a deep enough understanding of this war after he personally reshaped the timeline. Before that, he even thought that as long as he could find the Illuminati members and eliminate them, he would win.

Actually, it is not. Now, it is not so much a war between the Alliance and the Illuminati, but a war between him and Daphne, who has the source of the power of time, relying on the power of time he has collected.

And this war has long transcended the general sense of local or comprehensive, and even transcended time itself. If there is no change in the timeline level to achieve results, even in the main plane, it cannot be considered a real victory.

…

On the way to the Courtyard of the Sun, Xia Duo carefully sorted out his plan and thought about what to say when he met with the high-level officials of Ilfarang next, but before he stepped into the Courtyard of the Sun, he received a lot of news from the Alliance Headquarters.

Some of them were even contacted through emergency contact methods, and all the news said the same thing-the Alliance Monitoring Center detected a large number of time-related signals suddenly appeared in the North.

Now the Alliance Headquarters is in chaos, and Xia Duo is needed to take charge of the overall situation. Of course, this is a modified statement. In fact, he needs to go back to establish a command network specifically for handling this matter and play a role as an information coordinator.

After receiving such news, Xia Duo's hurried steps could not help but pause, which was enough to show his inner restlessness at the moment. In the previous timeline, the Illuminati openly created a large number of time-related signals, but not now.

Instead, after he tracked the Moon Shadow Family to Tevimansa and fought with Daphne there, the Illuminati no longer concealed their choice to seize every opportunity to promote the ceremony.

But now, although he has been to Tevimansa, he has not fought with Daphne!

Upon receiving such news, Xia Duo couldn't help but pause in his hurried steps, which was enough to show his inner uneasiness at the moment. In the previous timeline, the Illuminati openly created a large number of time-related signals, but it was not like this.
