Chapter 3235: Jinshan Hits the Head

This topic, as well as the expression of hesitation on Doom's face, made Xia Duo guess what Doom was thinking, so he opened up and said:

"You want to say that the Tower of Time also engaged in smuggling in Elan?"

"That's what the information provided by Yeerlan said, and we have confirmed this. However, according to what we know, the Tower of Time has been smuggling grain in Elan for a while, at least not since the construction of the Elan factory. Yeerlan also admitted this, but they still found traces of smuggling, so--"

Doom didn't say anything else, but Xia Duo knew what Doom meant. He told him clearly: "I know you are worried that starting from the smuggling in Elan will eventually lead to me, and you will not find the Illuminati and waste time.

"So I'm telling you now, after I reached a cooperation with Yeerlan on the development of Elan, I have never smuggled anything to Elan again.

"Perhaps the Void Warehouse of the Tower of Time has been used, but that is the personal behavior of the user of the Void Warehouse. If you find clues related to the Illuminati, I can cooperate in the investigation."

In fact, Yeerlan has already talked to Xia Duo about the recent smuggling, and Xia Duo has also responded clearly. Now that Yeerlan has reported this situation to the Alliance, it seems that some clues may have been found, rather than looking for trouble with him.

As for Xia Duo himself, he did find excited state instruments or ritual elements suspected to be stored by the Illuminati in the Void Warehouse of the Tower of Time, but he did not have conclusive evidence to show that it was the Illuminati who did it.

And he also had selfish motives. On the one hand, he did not trust the Alliance's (past) investigation capabilities, and on the other hand, he did not want him to take the initiative to reveal this matter, so as not to make users lose trust in the Void Warehouse of the Tower of Time.

After all, the two excited state instruments were stored in the stasis space warehouse. No matter how dangerous it was, it had nothing to do with the Void Warehouse. The so-called safety inspection was more for dangerous goods that could threaten the Void Warehouse.

If it threatens something else, there is no reason to check it. After all, magic items are inherently very dangerous, especially for ordinary people.

If the items in the void warehouse are security reviewed with the standards for ordinary people, then most magic items may not be stored in it.

This is unrealistic.

So the reason for the security check given by Xia Duo is only for the void warehouse itself, so that others can accept it. After all, you use my warehouse, you can't damage my warehouse, right?

Now, Xia Duo's information about the alliance's investigation ability has improved a little, mainly because he is determined, and his ability will naturally improve. Before, he was not determined, and even if he had the ability, he might not use it.

But the worry about the trust of users in the void warehouse still exists, so Xia Duo still did not reveal to Doom the two excited state artifacts he found that were suspected to be kept by the Illuminati.

But he also made a promise to cooperate with the investigation. As long as there are any clues pointing to the alliance, he will cooperate without hesitation and to the maximum extent.

As for whether doing so will delay the best time to find the Illuminati, this is not something Xia Duo needs to worry about. No one can take all aspects into consideration. He just made a choice that is more favorable to him.

He could accept a little more risk for this.

To put it another way, even if the Illuminati started to destroy the magic net crazily now, it would only increase the cost of using the magic net in the future and reduce the efficiency, and would not have much impact on the upper limit of the power that the caster could reach.

And the most important thing is that no matter what the Illuminati does, it is impossible to destroy all the magic nets in the main plane in an instant. Even Xia Duo is looking forward to the Illuminati doing something crazy again!

??????55.??????

On the one hand, this can make the Alliance more determined to wipe out the Illuminati at all costs, and on the other hand, frequent actions will also expose more clues for the Illuminati to track down.

What he is most worried about is that the Illuminati will not move at all, and will continue to endure, becoming a venomous snake lurking in the dark, which will make people sleepless!

Because from the perspective of absolute hard power, the Illuminati is far inferior to the Alliance. Even if the Illuminati dares to stand up and fight head-on, Xia Duo himself or any country in the Alliance (except Irusk) can destroy them all.

The reason why the Illuminati is difficult to deal with is its super secrecy and its intricate connection with the elves' high-level officials.

Now the Alliance, especially the elves, has made up its mind to eliminate the Illuminati, and secrecy, the recent Elan attack, and the smuggling problem are all clues that can be traced.

As the final window of the time-related ritual approaches, the Illuminati will make more and more moves. This feeling is like a prey caught in a spider web. The more you struggle, the faster you die.

…

After exchanging intelligence about the Illuminati with Doom for a while, the materials used by the Alliance for the sacrificial experiment have been sent to the camp. Like the sacrificial objects chosen by Yeerlan in the experiment, the Alliance also used old magic tools for the experiment.

A small part of it was collected on the spot from Everiska, and most of it actually came from Yeerlan, who had been prepared for it, but the cost of this experiment will be borne by the Alliance.

Even including the old magic tools that Yeerlan invested in before, most of the costs can be reimbursed to the Alliance, and even someone came to ask about the cost of the student homework that Xia Duo invested in before, which made Xia Duo's heart jump fiercely.

From the data obtained from the divine grace and the on-site testing, the effect of his student assignments can account for almost half of the old magic tools that Yeerlan invested.

In other words, the amount he can apply for reimbursement can also be half of Yeerlan's!

This makes it difficult for him to remain calm. Yeerlan claims to have invested in old magic tools worth over 100 million yuan, and those magic tools have been handled by Xia Duo, and there is not much water.

Even if it is the recycling of old magic tools, Yeerlan's actual cost must be tens of millions. Although the purchasing power of gold coins is continuing to decline due to the large amount of gold and silver produced by the giant mithril mine in the Gray Peak Mountains, tens of millions of gold coins are still not a small amount.

Take the current Tower of Time as an example. Counting all the income including mass-produced magic tools, communication maze locks, void warehouses, and computing power pool orders, it only makes tens of millions a year.

But the Tower of Time has too many places to spend money, and it can't actually save much money. Judging from the current net income of the Tower of Time, it may take at least ten years to accumulate tens of millions of cash.

Or to put it more vividly, the cost of a floating city may be just over 10 million, and tens of millions in cash can buy several floating cities!

You can imagine how tempting these tens of millions are to Shado!

Even if the Alliance does not consider Iollum's repair plan in the end, but adopts the plan of investing magic items to let the magic network heal itself, then the follow-up may not only be a matter of tens of millions, but hundreds of millions, billions or even more!

The most important thing is that Shado does not have to worry about the Alliance not being able to pay this money, because now the Alliance's largest source of income - the computing power pool - is managed by him.

Not to mention the giant mithril mine in the Gray Peak Mountains, which is a super giant mine that may not be mined in thousands of years! (Estimated based on the current mining level of the Alliance)
