Chapter 1849 Dismantling Problems and Political Considerations

in the next few days.

Everriska and the five countries are in the midst of heated negotiations. Although the countries have almost acquiesced to the reality that Everriska is about to become independent, they are still unwilling to give up easily for the benefits they can get.

As for Xia Duo, he has been following Sekis in the past few days, surveying the geography in the city of Everesca. Of course, Xia Duo's main purpose, which he only learned later, is to trace the traces of historical changes in the old Mystery Lock.

Of course, there will be a few tests during this period, which requires cooperation with Ogus. His city defense troops will use various excuses to provoke magic battles in the city when Shado and Segis are in need.

Either to capture a wanted criminal who has been lurking in neighboring countries for a long time, or to eliminate some rebels within Evereska.

Although the purpose of these actions is almost obvious in the eyes of many thoughtful elves, as long as Evereska does not officially clear the old mystery lock for a day, those elves who have the old authority or still hallucinate certain realities can only choose to wait and watch silently.

As for the design of the new secret lock, Shado has not forgotten it, but the negotiations between Everesca and the envoys of the five countries did not go smoothly, and he and Sergis only discussed it for a while in their free time.

But in fact, this project has been established quietly. The research site is located in the Wildman Valley southwest of Everriska City. The members are mainly composed of followers and tribesmen of Ogus and others.

A total of 124 elite mages, under the leadership of six senior mages, are carrying out some preliminary verification work on the new mystery lock. They can transfer there only after Sha Duo and Sergis complete the tracing task of the old mystery lock. Started full time.

This afternoon.

Chateau and Sergis had just finished investigating an important offset node of the old mystery lock, and they stopped on a bench facing the street.

Although it was just past three o'clock in the afternoon, the streets of Evereska, surrounded by mountains, already had a sense of dusk, especially when there was still bright light hanging from the peaks of the mountains in the distance. The contrast is even more obvious.

"Athos, you just mentioned that you can disintegrate the deputy No. 3 node first, and this node will automatically disintegrate. Can you explain it in detail?"

"sure."

Shado waved his hand and created a city structure map of Everesca in front of him, in which the twelve main nodes and thirty-six offset nodes that had been surveyed were marked with flashing light points.

The offset node they just surveyed was among them. Xia Duo marked it individually in a highlighted form, and then stretched out his hand to draw a slightly arced but closer to a straight line on the city structure map. This line connected in series There are four main nodes and six offset nodes.

After doing this, he explained to Sergis in front of the picture: "Look, this deputy node No. 3 has actually become the root of these ten nodes. It is not just the offset node just now. Once the deputy node is properly disassembled, Node three, the ten nodes on this line are almost not difficult at all.”

"No, you are thinking too simply. There are four major nodes among these ten nodes. How could they disappear just because Deputy No. 3 disappears?"

Although Sekis did not deny that the offset node just now could be quickly dismantled by dismantling Deputy No. 3, there were still major nodes on the line drawn by Sha Duo. Those were the foundation of the old mystery lock. How could it be so easy? tear down!

"Athos, look, this main node No. 6 alone is in synchronization with the other main node No. 12, and the main No. 12 node is actually related to the deputy No. 3. If you move the deputy No. 3, the main No. 12 Changes will occur simultaneously with the main node No. 6, how to explain this? "

Saying that, Sekis also followed Chateau's example and drew a line on the projection of the structure diagram. However, the line he drew happened to intersect with the line drawn by Chateau, and the intersection point was the main node No. 6.

The other end of the line he drew is the main node No. 12, with several offset nodes in between, some of which have been surveyed and some of which have not.

Regarding the question raised by Sergis, Shaduo had already anticipated it and drew four or five lines on the projection of the structure diagram. The first one included the main node No. 12, and the rest, after several twists and turns, finally returned to the secondary node. On node three.

"See, Sergis, is it clear? The main thing is to dismantle the main nodes on these four lines at the same time. Then there won't be any problems later."

Sergis stared blankly at the four highlighted lines in the projection, silently calculating for a while, but still did not fully agree with Shado's plan:

"But what about the more than ten offset nodes on these four lines? If we want to dismantle the main nodes on these four lines at the same time, these more than ten offset nodes must not be properly dismantled."

"There is nothing we can do about it. The old Mystery Lock of Everesca has been in the hands of countless spellcasters and has lasted for thousands of years. Its authority has become complicated and complicated, and a single move can affect the whole body. I don't think you should have the illusion of dismantling everything properly. "

In Shado's view, the resources needed to dismantle the old mystery locks are no less than those required to build new ones, or even much more, especially if the Evereska Elders Council wants to properly dismantle them.

According to Xia Duo's own idea, it is best to temporarily move the residents out, then "blast" the entire area, and finally repair the magic network, so that new mysterious locks can be built in a new and cleaner magic network environment.

This is easy and simple. There is no need to do all kinds of complicated survey work like now, just do it and it's done.

…

"well--"

Sergis glanced at Xia Duo with a complicated expression, hesitated for a while and finally insisted: "If possible, we still have to find a way to properly dismantle it."

"If that's the case, it'll be troublesome!"

Shado was not surprised by Sergis's choice. In fact, whether the old mythical lock can be properly handled is also related to the public sentiment of the local residents of Evereska, or to the rationality of the Council of Elders' governance.

If it was to be overthrown by violence, why should others support the Council of Elders? Why can't the northern countries send a few representatives to focus on blasting and rebuild a more modern neutral shelter.

Although this is definitely not possible in reality, the Council of Elders must still fully consider the ideas (interests) of local residents for the sake of long-term stability in the future.

It’s just that people’s hearts are people’s hearts, and the status quo of the old mystery lock is the status quo. Xia Duo erased all the lines in the projection of the city structure map, and then started to draw dots again, and said to Sergis:

"Although there are still some nodes that have not been surveyed, judging from the parts that have been surveyed so far, almost all master nodes are closely related to other master nodes, so there must be choices."

"I understand, but this problem should be left to Mandatis and others to worry about!"

Sergis took a deep breath and stood up from the bench, stretched out a hand towards Sha Duo, "Let's go explore the next node!"
