Next, Shado wasn't going to stay in the Kieran Tower for a long time, but he was a little surprised by Horn's mention of Everisca sending the two elders to the Elven Court again, but it wasn't too much of a surprise.

Since Everiska was determined to provoke the Alliance of Small Nations, she would definitely be prepared for possible countermeasures against Comanso, but what Shado didn't expect was that Everiska's preparations would be so intense.

The Elven Court is in the territory of Cormanthor, and there are two real elders who are waiting to die. This means that it is self-evident, especially since the elders were withdrawn just last year, and now they are sent there, it has a considerable deterrent effect.

"What are the other small countries doing? Are they sending the elders to the Elf Court, or something else?" Xia Duo asked.

"No news yet. But—"

Speaking of which, Horn looked at Shado with a somewhat complicated expression, "But Everisca has already made up her mind, presumably there should be a response from a small country soon!"

"I hope so."

Seeing Horn's expression, Xia Duo could probably guess what the other party was thinking. Either he lamented that the situation was changing too fast, or he felt that he made all these things and felt jealous.

But no matter what it was, Shado didn't think he could have much influence in it. Without him, there would be other people who would think of pushing Everesca to form a small group to resist Netheril's pressure.

The rapid change of the current situation is simply because the past world was too dull and lacked change.

Shado believes that his real influence is not in Sevington or Everesca, but in the south, where there is an emerging force with great potential, that is the force that truly changes the world.

"By the way, Your Excellency Horn, the Northland Alliance meeting will be held in three days. Are you sure you will completely strip the evaluation and investigation power of the Demon Limiting Treaty from Comanso?"

"If someone else asked, then I might say not necessarily, but to Lord Shado, I can tell you very clearly, this time Cormanthor will definitely lose!"

"So confident?" Xia Duo didn't believe it.

It is clear that there is no news of the Small Nations Alliance, so how can they suddenly ensure that Comanso's authority is stripped? Or did Horn hide some details of the Small Nations Alliance just now?

"It's not that I have confidence alone, but Netheril, Il Farang, Denzo, and Yerlan have confidence together. They have clearly responded to our proposal and supported the stripping of Comansor's authority at the alliance meeting three days later. , coupled with the possible alliance of small countries, how can Comanso return without losing?"

It turned out to be inside information!

Shado immediately understood, thinking that not long ago, Netheril was "backstabbed" by his ally Ilfalang by Comansor's design, and now Coman is going to be "backstabbed" by Yeerlan in the same way. The time has not come." Ah!

I am afraid that after this meeting, all disputes and entanglements in the Northern Alliance will become clearer. With the rise of the alliance of small countries, there will be no eternal enemies or friends between countries, but only eternal interests.

There is a high probability that the alliance between Netheril and Il Faron will never return to the way it used to be.

There is even the relationship between Netheril and Akola, which may become subtle once the other party joins the Alliance of Small Nations.

Of course, there should be no hostility, but it's almost impossible to be as close as you want.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo felt a little inexplicable melancholy for some reason. Although he was determined, he couldn't help but feel a little confused about such a future.

However, he has no doubts about the path he insists on, but more and more admires the choice of the "community of destiny" by the leaders of his hometown.

Gu Pei

At least at present, he does not have such a mind and such a pattern, but in the future, he will still encounter similar choices, how will he choose then?

Xia Duo couldn't answer this question for the time being. One was that his heart was hard to deceive, and the other was that the objective situation of the current world was not consistent with his hometown.

...

After leaving Kieran Tower, Xia Duo quickly adjusted his thoughts. He didn't need to think about things that were too long-term for the time being.

Only by laying a solid foundation now and continuing to strengthen oneself can we have the right to make choices in the future, otherwise everything is empty talk.

Next, Shado went to the Aofa Federation again. It was only a few days later that he did not go to Eorem to ask if he had received the new spiritual substance, but went directly to the Ether Advance Base.

Today's Ether Advance Base is mainly divided into inner and outer doubles. The outer area is actually the area where the former core laboratory of the Austrian Federation is located, and now it has become a fortress-like existence.

Enclosing all the overlapping area of ​​ether, only two channels are opened to enter the overlapping area of ​​ether, and the ether advance base in the inner layer is built near the boundary of the overlapping area, which is convenient for hunters to enter and exit the ether plane.

After all, the overlapping area of ​​ether is not small. If it is built in the middle, it will waste a lot of time just to travel. Not everyone is like Xado, and flying is only a passive ability.

In order to cope with the unexpected situation after entering the etheric plane, most hunters choose to walk forward.

In addition, if the forward base is built on the edge of the overlapping area, it is also convenient for hunters to retreat and to connect with the base.

Hunting spirits, to put it nicely, is called "collecting materials", but to put it uglier is to slaughter aliens, although those aliens seem to be inherently hostile to normal life.

But people have always lived in the etheric plane and hardly ever go to the material plane. Now a group of people rush to other people's homes to kill people. Isn't this the arrogance of the caster?

However, Xia Duo has nothing to criticize about this kind of thing. After all, he is on the side of the spiritual substance trade, and the only thing he can do is probably not to kill himself.

"What a cheap and hypocritical sense of morality!"

But within a short period of time, Xia Duo couldn't find any spiritual material other than the core of the distorted phantom. In addition, the distorted phantom appeared to be almost inherently evil. In fact, he didn't feel any guilt in his heart.

Just as humans kill pigs and sheep, what sins do pigs, cattle and sheep have?

What the sages said, "The gentleman is far away from the kitchen~lightnovelpub.net~ really makes sense!

...

Ether overlap area, base 3.

If there are No. 3, there will naturally be No. 2, No. 1, and even more. In fact, there are a total of eight forward bases in the overlapping area of ​​​​ether.

Of course, this is not one for each of the Seven Towers and the Austrian Federation, but is distributed in the Quartet, and the two take care of each other. All forward bases are managed by the Austrian Federation, at least in name.

This time, Xia Duo chose Base No. 3, mainly because he heard that someone in this base had been hit with spiritual substances recently when he was outside. The deacon of general affairs outside did not know what the specific situation was.

Xia Duo had to look at it by himself, and by the way, also look at what other specialties of the etheric plane are available.
