Lord of Arcane

Chapter 3202 Ye Erlan's Reminder
While Person successfully returned to Terminus, the northern countries received news about the tragedy in Elam, and Shador, far south of Netheril, was no exception.

Although he had anticipated such an outcome two days ago, he was still extremely shocked when it all happened calmly and firmly.

After receiving the news from the Alliance Headquarters, Shado left behind a projection that could be manipulated by outsiders but retained some of his perception, and then handed the task of presiding over the ceremony to Nia.

Of course, he did not immediately transfer his consciousness to the incarnation, but first went back to the Tower of Time to check the soul status of the deceased people summoned by the soul summoning array one by one.

The bad news was that almost all the subjects who remained in Elam were killed, a total of forty-two people, including a nephew of Oripus. The good news was that these subjects died very quickly and their souls suffered no harm.

Generally speaking, unless they have suffered inhuman torture before death, or have been hit by certain spells that directly act on the soul, most souls that died accidentally can be resurrected normally.

Of course, with the resurrection technology that Xia Duo currently possesses, it is impossible to achieve a completely lossless resurrection. The spellcasting ability of those who are resurrected will indeed be weakened to a certain extent, but as long as they take good care of themselves, they can still recover slowly over time.

After confirming the status of these souls, Xia Duo finally breathed a sigh of relief. The strength of the Illuminati's attack was somewhat beyond his expectations, but fortunately, these souls were not hurt, which was a great comfort to him.

……

Next, after Shado settled his original body, he turned around and realized his incarnation. At this time, Evereska was already in a mess. The news about the terrorist attack on the Elan factory was widely spread, and for a time it even overshadowed the topic of the new artifact that was very popular during this period.

But what is more lively at the moment is not Evereska, but the headquarters of the Northern Alliance.

On the way from Yunfeng Manor to the headquarters, Xia Duo saw groups of Northern mages riding on Evereska's flying discs rising from various areas of the city and flying towards the alliance headquarters.

The reason why he could see this scene was, of course, because he chose a faster way of flying. Otherwise, how could he see it so comprehensively on the ground?

As a result, Shaduo encountered the first congestion at the flying disc stop near the headquarters since the establishment of the alliance. Many mages even started talking about the truth behind the terrorist attack while waiting in line.

In addition, there are mages who, like Shado, have the authority to fly low in the city. They cannot wait for the flying discs to line up and slowly land, so they pick one up directly from mid-air and then glide all the way to the door of the Alliance headquarters.

Xia Duo rejected the inquiries of the mages who fell with him, and went straight to the intelligence department. There were permission settings there and outsiders could not enter. But when he got there, he found that the intelligence department was also congested.

"It's Advisor Xia Duo! Make way!" A human wizard saw Xia Duo coming and immediately and proudly called on his human companions around him and the elves who had not yet reacted to make way for Xia Duo.

Seeing this, Xia Duo didn't hesitate. He nodded to the human wizard who spoke first, as if he remembered him, and then went straight to Doom's office.

Soon, he saw Doom, and unexpectedly Tirion, in Doom's office. The two had serious expressions and seemed to be discussing something before Shado arrived. As soon as Shado arrived, the two immediately stopped talking.

After Shado greeted him, Dumu finally responded and said quickly, "Advisor Shado is here."

"Well, I came here as soon as I received the news. What's the current situation?" Xia Duo also looked at Doom with a serious expression. Although he also had a lot of information, the details still needed to be reported to professionals.

Hearing Xia Duo's question, Dumu's brows became even gloomier. He told Xia Duo: "The situation is not good. Consultant Xia Duo, please be mentally prepared."

"Don't worry, I've heard a lot of rumors on the way here, just tell me the truth and don't worry about my feelings."

"Okay, then I'll tell you." After saying that, Doom glanced at Tirion, who was looking worried, and then continued, "According to the news from Elan, the factories that you and Elan built together not long ago, including those that are still under construction, were attacked by unknown forces almost at the same time. The factories were completely destroyed and no one involved survived."

"Any more?"

"Also, Yeerlan has invited you to participate in the follow-up investigation of this incident. They have already sent investigators over and said they will wait for you for a day. After a day, regardless of whether you send someone or go there in person, they will start the investigation."

"Anything else?" Xia Duo continued to ask.

Dum couldn't help but look at Shado in surprise, but he didn't take any further action. Instead, he continued to answer: "The rest is Elan's self-examination report. I've read it and haven't found anything abnormal for the time being."

Seeing that Dum didn't seem to understand the point of his question, Shado could only ask again: "I mean, apart from the attacks in Elan, have there been any other attacks or abnormal incidents in the North?"

"It will take some time to confirm whether there are any unusual incidents, but we can be sure that there will be no eighth such attack in the Northland."

"That's it!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Duo fell into deep thought. He had a similar opinion to Person. He felt that the purpose of the Illuminati's attack was not simple at all. It was certainly not designed specifically to test Person, but had other deeper purposes.

Otherwise, did the Illuminati only want to destroy those factories? They even destroyed the factories that were still under construction.

At present, Xia Duo can only think of one possible explanation, which is that the factories that have been built and started trial production have a particularly obvious anchoring effect on the current timeline.

In other words, the Illuminati realized that the existence of those factories would have a very serious negative impact on the final time-related ceremony, which would be scheduled for July next year at the latest. Perhaps the final window of opportunity would be greatly advanced or even disappear directly.

That's why the Illuminati brazenly attacked and destroyed those factories, risking coming into the Alliance's sight again.

This is actually one of the original intentions of Shado in formulating the Elan development plan, which is to force the Illuminati to become desperate by changing Elan, a key place in the eyes of the Illuminati, and thus expose more flaws.

In fact, Shado's plan was successful. In addition to the attack sites, he also learned more about the inside story of the Illuminati through the "chicken" Person.

But there is still a long way to go to identify the real leader behind the Illuminati - the wood elf prophet who still exists in Shado's speculation.
