In order to avoid the sight of the elves as much as possible, all Sha Duo could think of was to use a magic circle to maintain the spell to avoid detection at level 9 or above for a long period of time.
If he cast the spell himself, it would work, but it would definitely not be as stable as the magic circle. If he couldn't get the supplies from the Revenge and Trial Department, then he would have to take a risk.
As for contacting the great arcanist among the remnants of the empire, Shado had never thought about it. The matter of the Elven Divine Sword was so unbelievable that he could not explain it at all.
And it would be a disaster rather than a blessing if a great arcanist took an interest in him—or, more accurately, in his memory.
Even if you hand over the Elven Divine Sword, you may not be able to get the other party to give up.
Even if it were Xia Duo himself, if he encountered something too bizarre and important, and he was interested in it and had the ability to understand it, would he not understand it?
If he were the Grand Arcanist among the remnants of the empire, if he knew that there was a high-level mage - even if it was later discovered that the high-level mage suddenly obtained the symbol of Cormanthor's royal power, Shado would definitely treat that high-level mage inside and out.
All the details in every cell and every bit of memory are clear!
There is no need to think about this!
When it comes to the Elven Divine Sword, as long as Xia Duo doesn't say anything about it, it's impossible for others to suspect him. This is really too bizarre.
Even in the country of Cormanthor, after King Mian's investigation failed to produce any results, the most he could do was to suspect that the forger of the Excalibur was hiding something secret and that they were colluding in rebellion.
Even this incident may make the forces in Cormanthor who are dissatisfied with the crown king really start to join forces. Without the [Sword of Dominance], the holders of the other two elven swords are the de jure rulers.
One is the commander of the army, and the other is the mage leader. The Crown Prince does not have the legal principles brought by the [Sword of Dominance], so how can he order them and rule Cormanthor?
Having "personally" experienced the [Trial of the Divine Sword], Xia Duo knew very well that King Mian had no direct subordinate relationship with the holders of the other two divine swords.
Mian Wang's subordination to the holders of the other two divine swords essentially comes from the "Sword of Dominance" and the inertia of superiors and subordinates over the next thousand years.
Of course, the original holders of the other two divine swords may not necessarily live as long as Crowned King. The three elven divine swords all have the effect of extending life, but only high mages can stay in the mortal world almost indefinitely, although they will eventually lose
Most of the power is reserved for the final blow.
If the holders of the other two divine swords changed hands and were no longer the original old acquaintances, then Mianwang might not be able to suppress the young man's ambition.
Not to mention reigning for a thousand years, even if they live for a thousand years, very few elves can do it. There will always be young powerful people who are unsatisfied with the status quo and want to covet a higher position.
Shado is looking forward to what will happen in Cormanthor after the [Sword of Dominion] disappears. It would be very interesting if there could be a small crown war.
Perhaps the remnants of the Arcane Empire can reappear on the surface with the support of Elfaran and establish a second empire.
Unfortunately, that will definitely take a long time. Considering the time loop, Xia Duo estimates that he will not be able to see that day.
…
After putting the [Summoning-Sealing] array in the cave into his personal space and simply clearing away some of the traces he left behind, Sha Duo left the cave.
After that, he flew all the way to the North Pole at high speed, until he was close to the ruins of the empire, he stopped and sent a directional transmission in the direction of the ruins.
Soon he received a reply from Elise. As usual, it was an instant transmission coordinate based on the background fluctuation of the magic network and requiring target confirmation.
Sha Duo teleported to the coordinate location and met Elise in a bush. As soon as they met, Elise asked with a cold face:
"Eight days have passed since the mission began. What have you done?"
"I got extremely important information!"
Xia Duo was unhurried. At a time when the empire's remnants were about to encounter a major search for Cormanthor, Elise would never dare to turn a blind eye to important information, even if it was a lie.
Not to mention that he really has important information!
Sure enough, after Xia Duo said these words, Elise's expression softened a little, but she still didn't have a good expression, "Follow me to join the branch."
For security reasons, if it is really important information, then Cormanso's attention to it will be very high priority. Talking in the wild may arouse the other party's vigilance.
The branch base of the Revenge Trial Division is equipped with highly protective measures to avoid detection, so talking there will be much safer.
Shado did not refuse and returned to the branch base with Elise.
…
There was no one in the base. Everyone was sent out to perform tasks. After Elise returned with Sha Duo, she asked directly in the hall:
"What kind of information is it? Now I can tell you!"
"Yes, sir."
Before coming, Xia Duo organized the language, but now he just follows the script:
"Sir, I learned a huge secret from a Cormanthor demon, uh - elf! There is an underground passage in the Dragonspine Mountains, which leads to the Dark Territory and is connected to the elves' mortal enemies, the drow!
"As the saying goes, 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.' Now the empire is in a critical situation. If we can get in touch with the drow and fight against Cormanthor together, the empire may be in a better situation."
There was not a single lie in Xia Duo's words, but some details were omitted.
He did learn the location of the underground passage from a Cormanthor elf, the leader of the Silverleaf family, Oripus, but Oripus was not the Cormanthor elf of this projection plane, but the main position.
face.
After listening to Xia Duo's narration, Elise's expression suddenly became serious, and her eyes were full of determination. She approached Xia Duo, looked into Xia Duo's eyes, and continued to ask:
"Where?"
Xia Duo took out the simple map he had prepared in advance and handed it to Elise with both hands, "The underground passage is where the red dot is on the map!"
Elise took the map, but did not check it immediately. Instead, she continued to ask: "Where is the elf?"
"That elf is no longer in this world!" Sha Duo was also not lying, because Oripus was not from this world (plane) in the first place!
Elise only thought that Shado had killed the elf, and showed a look of regret and embarrassment, but she quickly put away her emotions and said to Shado:
"This matter is very important. I need to report it to the superiors immediately. You need to rest at the base first. I estimate that the superiors will send someone over soon to inquire. Please decide what to say!"
Xia Duo understood that the other party was warning that he might encounter a lie detector. After all, during the empire, this was what the Trial Department was best at to a certain extent!
"Sir, I promise that what I just said is not a lie. I am willing to accept another inquiry from the organization!"
"Very good, go and have a rest!"
"yes."
