Chapter 3175 Half-elf lives near the lock node

At least in Shado's opinion, noble goals cannot be achieved through improper behavior.

Even if some people in the alliance think it can, it is difficult to explain the contradictions in the human qualities reflected by the two behaviors of stealing treasures and voluntary sacrifice.

Stopping Kalish's plan is Shado's ultimate goal, and shattering Kalish's positive image can also be regarded as a way to achieve the goal.

Just like Kalish spread rumors to question his professionalism, professionalism is the fundamental reason why Shado can control the computing power pool. No one is better than him at computing power pool-related issues.

And if Kalish's plan is to be realized, it is necessary to convince the countries in the alliance to believe in this plan, and the act of "believing" itself carries a more obvious credibility attribute.

As long as Kalish's credibility image collapses, no matter what he says, the alliance will hesitate more than normal.

It is hard to imagine that a person who has just stolen an important treasure from the school that cultivated him would suddenly say that he is willing to sacrifice himself to use the stolen treasure to create an artifact for others.

Xia Duo was almost 100% sure that even if he confronted Kalish with the Focusing Artifact, the other party would not admit to stealing the treasure, but would find a reason.

No matter how outrageous it was, the top leaders of the alliance needed such a reason the most. When the interests were too great to make a decision, they used this reason to convince themselves.

As for what Zamdas said, it was not important. Saying that Kalish stole the treasure further proved the feasibility of Kalish's plan! Otherwise, why would he be so anxious?

Therefore, Xia Duo was also drunkard's intention was not to drink. He didn't care what Kalish said, as long as he could confirm the existence of the remains of the first generation mentor.

If things developed to an irreversible state, he would consider taking away the key psychic material.

Of course, he didn't want to take the material for himself, but would choose to return it to Zamdas. If Kalish had any dissatisfaction, he would go to Zamdas himself and negotiate the ownership of the material first before talking about other things.

As for the Alliance, Zhamdas took back the remains of the first generation mentor, so what reason did he have to send people to the North? Without the psionic mages attacking the computing power pool, the Alliance would not need to train psionic mages.

If there are still psionic mages attacking the computing power pool, then Zhamdas will be blamed directly.

And if psionic mages are not trained, artifacts are not necessary. As for the fusion of arcane and psionic energy, Xia Duo estimated that few people believed in it.

Even if Kalish showed the so-called fusion advantage, such an advantage can be obtained by catching a psionic mage or letting the arcane mage convert to psionic energy?

If there is one Kalish, can't there be more?

It is just used as a tool, not those high-ranking superiors who take the risk to awaken psionic energy personally. Even if it is a one-time tool, what can it do?

Therefore, Xia Duo is not worried that the Alliance will trouble him afterwards. There may be some troubles, but they are all within the scope of his ability to handle. If he can properly solve the potentially harmful incident of creating artifacts, he will accept it even if it is a little troublesome.

...

Soon, Shado arrived at the top of Yunding Mountain. Yunding Tower was built on a platform that could be shaped on the top of the mountain. Before he entered the tower, a nearby sword-bearing guard came over, bowed, and introduced himself -

"Sir, I was arranged by Director Doom to listen to your instructions here. Sir, just call me Asta."

"Yes."

Shado nodded, without looking at him too much, but directly ordered: "Take me to Kalish."

Although this sword-bearing guard elder who called himself Asta looked like an elf, he was actually a person from Netheril, or a half-elf, and most of them were human blood.

Perhaps in the eyes of many humans, having an elf face is something to be proud of, but the ancestors of those with elf blood in Netheril almost all had a sad history of being abandoned by their elf parents.

So in the eyes of these people, having an elf appearance is not only not something to be proud of, but a shame, but it is inconvenient for humans to move around in the elf society, and many intelligence work often has to rely on these humans with elf appearance.

Think about a person who hates elves. For the mission, he has to imitate elves and even deal with elves. It is really a big sacrifice.

In fact, Shaduo is still very curious about the existence of these people, but out of respect for their efforts, he still tries not to pay attention to their appearance.

Even if he may be a little indifferent now, in the eyes of these people who look like elves but are human at heart, it may be more acceptable!

…

Doom's location in Yunding Tower is not a secret. At least most of Yunding Tower guards know it. Although Asta was arranged by Doom to enter Yunding Tower, he also followed the formal procedures, not just finding a guard to cast a spell to replace him privately.

Therefore, Asta also has the normal authority of a guard in the Cloudtop Tower. He took Shado to a room outside the fourth floor and stopped:

"Sir, Kalish has been living here for a while. I have also led two of his visitors before. Do you want to knock on the door?"

"Wait."

Shado was not in a hurry to meet Kalish, but returned part of his consciousness to the main body to operate Rodas's focusing tool and conduct a detection with his incarnation as the medium.

The result was the same as the previous times, and he could not detect the target he wanted at all.

While waiting for the detection, Xia Duo was also looking at the environment near Kalish's temporary residence. As he looked, he suddenly asked Asta:

"Is the upper floor a restricted area?"

"The upper floor is mainly some exhibition rooms, not a restricted area. At least with my authority, I can take you there to visit, and you can even go there alone. Just tell the guards there."

"Are all places open?" Xia Duo continued to ask.

"No, there is a secret treasure storage room that requires permission from the Elders' Council of Everiska to enter, but it is said that since the construction of the Cloud Top Tower, not many people have been able to visit it." Asta replied.

"So that's it!"

Xia Duo immediately understood that the so-called secret treasure storage room might be a key node of the Cloud Top Tower.

Although Everiska's city maze lock was partially controlled by the Alliance in the name of helping to repair it, important places such as the Cloud Top Tower still have independent maze locks.

Even if it was previously associated with the city maze lock, Everiska would probably separate this side after the Northern Alliance obtained the city maze lock authority.

Similar to the practice of transferring assets to hollow out companies on Earth, since it is impossible to take back the control of the city maze, then first ensure that the control of other related mazes is not lost.

In this case, the disconnection "transfer" is actually a self-protection behavior.

Since there are mazes, there is a high probability that there are nodes, and the maze nodes are undoubtedly high-energy. Even if they appear calm on the surface, they are actually enough to have a strong impact on the surrounding area.

Kalish chose to stay temporarily under the maze node of the Cloud Top Tower. If you say this is completely a coincidence, Xia Duo doesn't believe it at all!
