Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2133 Neighboring Country Scandal
For a while, Xia Duo regretted getting involved in such troublesome matters. He even wondered if the assassination of the elf prince was an illusion created by the joint efforts of the two countries, in order to conquer the Northland because of his entry.

This is not his unreasonable speculation, but the potential of the Northland Alliance to attract the attention and even vigilance of the South. Especially after the Shruvand War, the alliance's reputation has been further strengthened, and the order of the alliance has been further stabilized.

Coupled with the centralization reforms that countries have started one after another, a new force is quietly rising in the north. If Xia Duo were in power in the south, he would do something.

In international relations, it is normal for the strong to contain the weak. Even within the Northern Alliance, major powers are also consciously containing the development of small countries. Of course, small countries are also uniting to deal with such challenges.

Under such circumstances, the Northland Alliance is not only a tool for the game of great powers, but also a reliance for the survival of small countries. Everyone needs this alliance, so how can this alliance not develop rapidly!

If the current situation is really as Xia Duo guessed, it is a conspiracy by the southern two countries and even the four countries to contain the northern land, then it will be too troublesome.

It's not that Xia Duo will be fine if he runs away now. As the saying goes, "If you can run away, you can't run away from the temple."

"Difficult! It's really too difficult!" Xia Duo sighed in his heart.

But the more this is the case, the more he has to find the key to breaking the situation, which is the assassination of the elf prince. As long as he can find out the origin of the assassin, then he can at least retain the strong backing of the Northern Alliance.

Of course, the premise is that this assassin is not created by a certain country in the Northern Alliance.

……

South of Sweetwater Square, Calimshan Camp.

Xia Duo closed the investigation report and returned it to Bolin Scholar, then turned to Esther and said, "Next, I want to have a private talk with Bolin Scholar, and ask Master Esther to wait outside the camp."

It stands to reason that the elves shouldn't have followed him to the Calimshan camp, but Esther still came in, and now the question Xia Duo wanted to ask might involve the secrets of Calimshan.

Maybe General Hashim, who is currently in charge of the camp, doesn't care, but as an outsider, he still needs to avoid these sensitive points as much as possible. Esther can be regarded as the one he brought into the camp now, and now he let Esther go out, so that Karin Shan's side can't trouble him about this issue.

In this regard, Esther hesitated for a while, and there seemed to be a lot to say in his eyes, but in the end he turned invisible, turned and left the camp without saying a word.

"Lord Xiaduo, I don't know what you want to talk about?" Bolin asked.

"I would like to know what doubts Calimshan has about the identity of the assassin who assassinated Prince Katemir?"

Originally, Xia Duo wanted to ask about the war situation between Calimshan and the surrounding area, but considering that Calimshan might conceal something or even deliberately mislead him, he didn’t ask. He planned to find out through other channels, and Katemir’s side Too.

But if you ask about the origin of the assassin, then there is no problem.

Bolin did not hesitate at all, and did not even seek the opinion of General Hashim who was still present, so he directly answered Xiaduo:
"We have two main directions of suspicion. One is that Kate Mill directed and acted on his own, intending to provoke a war to gain a greater voice in the South;
"The other is Zamdas, the evil spiritual kingdom. Calimshan is currently fighting Zamdas in the steam lake area in the east, and is gradually gaining the upper hand. If you can pull Katemir into the water, if I am As the decision maker on Zamdas side, I will definitely do it without hesitation."

Good one do it without hesitation!

Xia Duo lamented Bolin's frankness, and was also shocked by the attitude of the upper echelons of Calimshan towards the war. Of course, it is unrealistic to say that there is no fiction in Bolin's words.

At least he doesn't think that Calimshan has the upper hand in the war with Zamdas. If Zamdas planned this assassination, it may be that there is an idea to completely eliminate Calimshan once and for all!

"Isn't Katemir always quiet? I've heard it even in the Northland. Why do you think they're going to make trouble suddenly and regain the right to speak in the South?" Xia Duo asked again.

This should be obtained indirectly from Ketmil's information. Of course, this is not the other channel he thought of at the beginning. Other channels are actually obtained through the Northland Alliance.

Especially in Comanthor, there is a permanent portal in Ketmir in the capital. It would be hard to believe that they don't know Ketmir!

At this moment, regarding Xia Duo's doubts, Bolin revealed another heavy news, "Prince Sith actually doesn't like the current king of Katemir, and the king of Hygnas is already old, but he has been lingering on the throne. Ken abdicates, Lord Xiaduo, who do you think is the most popular prince in Katemir?"

This can no longer be regarded as a hint, it is completely explicit, Xia Duo naturally said: "Could it be the dead Sith prince?"

"Yes, it's him!"

There was a strange gleam in Bolin's eyes, as if he was very interested in talking about the scandals in neighboring countries to outsiders, "Prince Sith is considered in Katemir to be the most wise master of revival in Katemir for 3000 years, but the more the Prince of Sith The more he behaved wisely, the more he would embarrass that Hygnas who was still on the throne!
"It is said that Prince Sith had a quarrel with Crown King Hegnas before he visited Calimshan. Although King Crown finally agreed to the prince's mission plan, he didn't say he wouldn't give the prince some surprises!"

"That's it!"

Although the news provided by Bolin has not been verified, Xia Duo does not think it is necessary for the other party to lie about this kind of news that is easy to verify.

If it is true as Bolin said, the king of Katemir is very suspicious, but does the other party really have the courage to bear the reputation of killing his son?
The elven society has always attached importance to tradition, and the attack and killing between relatives is the most breakthrough situation of the traditional bottom line. As long as the Kate Millen King dares to do it, Xia Duo can guarantee that once the truth is revealed, the other party will definitely step down.

And this vicious incident of the prince being killed will definitely be investigated to the end, just like the third investigation that Xia Duo is currently conducting.

As long as it is found to be the envoy of King Katemir, even if Katemir has completed the centralization reform, the meaning of centralization is the concentration of power, not the concentration of power on a certain ruler. That is not centralization, it is dictatorship.

In Katemir, Crown King has great power, but it is not without checks and balances. Once the bottom line is broken too far, stepping down will be easy. Maybe some staunch traditional defenders will impose physical sanctions on the fallen Crown King.

It is similar to the "Chinese riots" that once occurred in Xia Duo's hometown in ancient times.
