Lord of Arcane

Chapter 3204: The deadline for going to Elan
Of course, Shado did not completely reject Doom, but told him some information that all the countries in the alliance should know. He had previously captured a peripheral member of the Illuminati and handed him over to the Alliance after interrogating him.

The Alliance should also be able to ask some secret questions about the Illuminati, but Shado's consciousness interrogation efficiency is extremely high. He does not need the consent of the person being interrogated, and can directly and violently analyze the other party's subconscious information.

In this case, he might indeed have access to information that the Alliance did not have but was likely to have. This could be considered as Xia Duo testing the Alliance's access to intelligence related to the Illuminati.

With his current position as an alliance consultant, he can indeed access most intelligence information in the intelligence department, but Xia Duo believes that the alliance must be hiding something from him.

This is actually easy to understand. Not to mention the elves, it is certainly impossible for them to be open-hearted with him and share all the information with him. As for Doom, although he seems respectful to him, in fact, Doom's authority in the alliance is not much less than that of Shado.

The most important thing is that Doom is from the Seventh Tower. Even if he has been in the Alliance for a long time and wants to eat at multiple places, Doom must know where his most valuable part is, which is intelligence!
Shaduo had every reason to believe that Doom also had reservations about him, and even kept some things from the Seven Towers that should not have been kept. This was the capital for Doom's future advancement.

"The Alliance has already mastered most of the situations that Lord Shado mentioned. However, regarding the speculation that the Illuminati is very likely to hold another time-related ceremony on a scale far greater than the previous ones in the foreseeable future, I wonder if Lord Shado has any further evidence to support this speculation?"

"I don't have any evidence, but I think you can go ask the Sheshi Magic Research Laboratory and hear the opinions of the researchers there! Maybe they can answer your question."

If Shado had not learned from the spiritual network of the Time Magic Research Laboratory that a researcher had already put forward the same speculation as his, he would not have told Doom about this speculation.

Now, it is also to increase the alliance's confidence in dealing with the Illuminati, and to improve the alliance's ability to deal with the Illuminati.

After all, according to his speculation, as long as they guarded against it strictly for a relatively short period of time, they would probably never encounter a crisis of timeline changes caused by time-related magic again.

Of course, just with regard to the Illuminati's Elan Rebirth Plan, if a country in the main plane wants to change the timeline to achieve a certain purpose, that would be a new time-related crisis.

In addition, Shado told Doom this speculation for another purpose, which was to protect the researcher.

If he didn't, the researcher might be targeted and eliminated by the Illuminati for speculating on the fatal flaw of the Illuminati in that point.

Now that Shado has told Doom about this speculation, it is actually equivalent to making this speculation public. Unless the leader of the Illuminati is willing to expose his true identity, it will be difficult to do anything to the researcher.

Of course, this is not certain. The arrogance of the superiors who master the art of prophecy is hard for others to imagine. If the Illuminati really takes action against that researcher, it would be a good thing for Xia Duo. At least he could get more clues.

……

After exchanging information about the Illuminati with Doom, Shado did not stay any longer. He immediately set off for Elan. While reporting to Elan and Yerlan at the same time, he headed for the portal leading directly to Elan.

In his current capacity as an alliance advisor, if he is only entering the country to participate in an open investigation and is not involved in any secret armed operations, he only needs to report in advance and does not need permission from the country concerned to enter legally.

Of course, if he is not an alliance consultant or the person in charge of the computing power pool, whether he can enter the country depends on whether the country concerned allows it.

If someone forces entry despite being prohibited, it would be illegal entry and the country concerned will not make any promises about his personal safety.

In other words, such advance notification also means that the country concerned will provide certain guarantees for the personal safety of visitors.

For example, the relationship between Ilfarang and Comando has always been rather bad, especially in Ilfarang, where the people are extremely hostile to Comando. Without such guarantees, how could the two countries dare to send personnel to each other, or even conduct people-to-people exchanges?
In fact, such a guarantee cannot be made by a single country, but rather by all countries based on an alliance. Only in this way can sufficient default costs be generated, allowing such a guarantee to continue rather than becoming a dead letter.

There are many similar guarantees or commitments, which are eventually fixed in the form of treaties. Regardless of the reason for signing the conditions, there is an obligation to comply with them before the treaty is terminated.

Just like the "Magic Limit Treaty", if all countries no longer want to abide by it, it will be abolished soon. Even if there are still many clauses in the new treaty that have not been negotiated, at least the old treaty has become invalid.

Before the old treaty, no matter how unwilling each country was, they still chose to abide by the treaty provisions and paid fines for the super-magic incidents. However, after negotiations, the countries returned the fines to their original location.

Only a payment record was left on the account. In actual practice, no one had actually paid even a single gold coin of the super-magic fine, including Xia Duo.

In today's Northland Alliance, perhaps many people do not agree with the concepts, goals, and principles stated in the Alliance Charter, but most groups with a voice in the Northland agree on one fact -

That is, no matter whether the ideas, goals, and principles stated in the alliance charter are good or bad, they need something that can unite the northern countries, and they are also willing to maintain the order system established on this basis.

Because maintaining such a system is actually maintaining their own interests.

This also made the alliance order increasingly popular, and the various specific procedures and processes derived from the order naturally gained the recognition and support of the northern countries.

Because if they do not agree with these, it means they are opposing the alliance order, and opposing the alliance order means opposing their own interests, which is something that no group with a voice in the North can accept.

Of course, individual interests cannot always be consistent with collective interests, so the alliance is not perfect, but now such an alliance has become the greatest common denominator recognized by all parties.

Changing the alliance or dissolving it will not make things better than they are now. This is actually the biggest motivation for the Northern Alliance to continue to survive.

Everyone can benefit from the alliance. In this case, why not just take the benefits first and take one step at a time? As long as the alliance always has positive returns, then won’t the alliance always bring benefits?

Unless a country suddenly becomes strong enough to conquer the entire alliance, it will definitely stay in the alliance and use the rules of the alliance to strengthen itself.

Because for the strong, fair rules are obviously more beneficial to them, and the fairer the rules, the more beneficial they are. The simplest example is to let professional and amateur groups compete on the same stage.
