But as soon as he left, Cliff, who had not appeared in Offa Square just now, suddenly appeared at the door. Sha Duo also turned back after receiving the news.
In the reception room, Magna and Wade hadn't arrived yet. Seeing Cliff looking worried, Chateau couldn't help but start the conversation:
"Does Mr. Cliff think that the scene just now was within your prediction?"
When Cliff heard this, he glanced at Xia Duo with a rather strange look, "If you are talking about Master Yerevan living forever in the Kingdom of God, that is indeed not within my prediction, but if you are talking about falling in the fire, I think I predicted it, but I didn’t expect that Her Highness the Princess would intervene in this matter.”
"Then do you think it's possible that Her Highness the Princess was involved in Master Yerevan's failure?"
Xia Duo's question was a bit explicit, but he didn't care at all. The worst situation was already approaching, and he didn't care to speculate any more.
Although Cliff was surprised by Shado's boldness, he still gave his own judgment based on his status as a priest, "I don't think it was the interference of Her Royal Highness. Perhaps Master Yerevan was not sufficiently prepared, or it was the ascension ceremony. There are hidden dangers that we don’t know about.”
"hope so!"
It would be nice to mention something so that everyone has this impression. Shado did not repeat conspiracy theories in front of Cliff, and then asked about the situation of Vader and Magna.
Cliff shook his head at this, "I just returned to the territory. Vader and Magna were not with me, but I have contacted them and they should be here soon."
The waiting process is always long, so Xia Duo chatted with Cliff about the threat of demon descendants. Calculating the time, the demon descendant mage that Sluvende captured during the war should be interrogated and the result should be reached by now. .
Although it may not be able to touch upon the true purpose of the Illuminati behind the demonic attempt to subvert reality, it can at least reveal a lot of relevant information.
With a little extrapolation, a theory about the threat of demons can be concocted. Sha Duo is not worried that Cliff will regard his current views as overly sensitive. Instead, what he is revealing now should be the most cutting-edge intelligence about demons.
"Lord Shado thinks the spell caster who just attacked the Arcane Square is a demon?"
"I'm not 100% sure because there was no one left alive at the time, but I am convinced that it is inseparable from the devil!"
Xia Duo did not say the basis for his judgment, except that some judgments cannot be clearly stated. More importantly, he believed that a high-level priest with strong divine grace would be able to distinguish the authenticity of his words.
As he thought, Cliff's expression immediately became extremely serious after hearing this. To put it bluntly, the demon's attack meant provoking Netheril. As a member of Netheril, Cliff was also provoked.
In addition, this kind of terrorist attack against civilians has greatly challenged the current normal order of Netheril and even the entire Northland.
This is simply unforgivable for the priests of the Lord of Radiance who uphold order, not to mention the previous summoning of the abyss incident, which further intensified Cliff's dislike of the demon.
"Lord Xia Duo, I wonder if you have a deeper understanding of the current situation of demon infiltration in the North?"
"I can't go into details. After all, the demons are too good at hiding. I can only talk about some reasonable judgments and suspicions based on the information I have."
"Lord Chateau, please say——"
However, Shado hesitated for a moment here, but when he thought about the pessimistic future that might result from the princess's interference in Yerevan's god-ascension ceremony, he firmed up his thoughts:
"Your Excellency Cliff, what I am going to say next may cause you some discomfort, but I learned it from the mouth of the demon, and I also really want to get some clues from Lord Cliff."
"What is it?"
"Illuminati! There is a mysterious organization behind the demons that is even deeper than the demons. They call themselves the Illuminati!"
"F?"
Hearing the name, Cliff couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and motioned for Shado to continue.
"Yes, it's the Illuminati. Not long ago, when I was in Sluvende, I took a prisoner of a demon mage. I learned about this mysterious organization from the other party's mouth. I was also shocked by the name at the time."
Although Shado does not think that the Illuminati has anything to do with the Kingdom of Glory and the Lord of Glory, but this name is related to the demon, and it should be able to get some convenience in front of Cliff, the priest of Glory.
“The Illuminati used the [Secret Hall] structure to control the demons lurking in the countries in the North—well—so far, no demons other than elves have been found.
"The Illuminati sends out missions through the [Secret Palace], and the demons carry out the tasks. Even the demons transformed by the high mage have a very limited understanding of the Illuminati.
"And after sorting out the tasks of the Illuminati Secret Hall, I suspect that the Illuminati has mastered very advanced prophecy techniques!"
In fact, when it comes to prophecy, Xia Duo is no longer just suspicious. The demon wants to promote the formation of a specific historical node to subvert reality. It is impossible to do this without mastering prophecy.
…
In the reception room.
Although Shado did not express doubts about the priests of the Lord of Glory, and his words did not reveal the slightest hint of doubt, Cliff himself felt great pressure.
Anyone can be called the Illuminati, but not everyone can master the art of prophecy. Generally speaking, it requires the help of God's power, and as long as it is a God, it will generally be concerned about the existence of the Lord of Light.
How is it possible for the following priestly organization to be called the Illuminati!
After thinking about it, Cliff finally replied: "As for the existence of the Illuminati, I will ask my Lord for confirmation, but Lord Shado does not need to be too optimistic. God's revelations are often full of uncertainties and multiple explanations. Will it ultimately be possible?" Getting accurate information is still an unknown.”
"Thank you so much, Mr. Cliff."
Xia Duo was excited. The Illuminati had mastery of prophecy. Although they might not be able to predict his various plans for demon descendants, the existence of such a bug-like spell itself meant a kind of shock.
Now that he has roped in Cliff, at least he has recovered some of his disadvantages.
"By the way, Sir Cliff! If possible, I would also like to ask you to help confirm the relationship between the newly established Kingdom of Elam in the west and the demon descendants - or in other words, the Illuminati!"
"The Kingdom of Elam? Are they related to the Illuminati?"
At this moment, Cliff could no longer hide the shocked expression on his face, "Lord Shado, how did you know that the Kingdom of Elam is related to the Illuminati? This is not an insignificant accusation!"
Cliff knows very well that although the current Ellam Kingdom is just a puppet supported by Ellan, it can be considered as a formal member of the Northland Alliance, with formal seats and voting rights in the Northland Alliance meeting!
It is conceivable how much shock it will cause once the news about the Kingdom of Elam and the demon descendants is revealed.
Destroying Elan is a trivial matter. The most important thing is that the demon descendant has the ability to create an "independent" country under the noses of various countries. Then its hidden power is terrible!
