Different from when he came, when he returned, Xia Duo first raised the floating city beyond the influence of Cormanso, then teleported directly back to the territory, and then flew slowly to the west.
Next is the second stop of this trip plan - Taivi Mansa, the capital of Yeerland!
Both Shado and Niya have seen the magical image of Tevi Mansa at one time or another. Shado even saw a close-up view of the interior of the city in the communication room with Hildalanna.
But whether it is a city image or a virtual scene constructed by communication magic, the urban elements expressed are very few. It is just like understanding a city by watching a movie, and understanding a city by walking around the city in person. The latter is obviously more It's in line with Xia Duo's wishes.
Niya thought so too, so she decided to take this second leg of her trip to Tavimansa.
From Daxia to Taivimansa, because we are flying at high altitude, we only consider the straight-line distance. Xiaduo planned to arrive in three days, which can not only relieve the mental fatigue of the trip to Comansor, but also calmly apply for Yeerlan entry permit.
Regarding the latter, after Cormanso agreed to Chateau's entry, it was actually no longer a big problem.
If Yeerlan disagrees, he will inevitably be looked down upon by all countries. In addition, the floating city's power during the Sluvende War is still there, so Shado believes that the other party will not refuse.
Therefore, even if the floating city flew over Evereska, Ye Erlan did not give a formal reply, and Sha Duo did not feel anxious at all.
If it's a big deal, he won't go, but he will always remember this rejection in his heart. Ye Erlan will always ask for him, and when the time comes - hum!
Floating city, research area.
Sha Duo and Niya were drinking tea while discussing topics related to communication mystery locks. Since they decided to speed up the plan, they should speed up everything that can be done.
As the communication mystery lock was a key part of Sha Duo's future plan, he naturally could not hold back at this time, so he took advantage of the situation and joined Niya's research project.
Of course, Niya is willing to accept this. Although Xia Duo is underestimating her by doing this, Niya is not a naive and confident person. There is a great arcanist who is willing to bring her a project. She is happy before it is too late!
Not to mention, the communication mystery lock project is also related to the development of the Tower of Time. If Sha Duo hadn't mentioned it, she even hoped to bring her great-grandfather Savile into the project.
"The details of the communication array given by Grand Arcanist Vader already have the prototype function of the Mystery Lock, but the implementation framework is too poor. We just need to absorb the advantages and not be led by their ideas."
Sha Duo knew very well that the communication array given by Vader came from the Arcane Empire of the projection plane, but the maintenance cost of the Arcane Empire's communication array was quite high and the process was cumbersome. Sha Duo obviously did not want to copy a sample that was not successful.
"I understand. The information you brought back some time ago inspired me a lot. Was it really Grand Arcanist Vader who gave it to you? He wasn't-"
"Yes, he was the one who targeted the Savior Territory in the past, but now he is probably our strongest ally in Netheril!"
Thinking of the allure of the Ascension Order, Shado couldn't help but sigh secretly. Perhaps only people like Vader who claim that "only arcane magic is supreme" are willing to continue to stick to the path of arcane magic!
Enemies in the past, allies now, may become enemies again in the future. The relationship between people is really wonderful sometimes!
…
While Shado's floating city was slowly but firmly moving in the direction of Tevi Mansa, the Crown Prince of Ellan was discussing the follow-up matters of the Kingdom of Ellan with the brand-new Council of Elders of Tall Trees.
After the discussion, the elders were preparing to leave. One of the elders asked rudely: "How will King Helion deal with Lord Nese who is driving the floating fortress from afar?"
There was no emotion or anger on Helian's face, and he asked the question to the other party in a calm tone, "Elder Yin Suo, how do you think I should respond?"
"This is the authority of King Mian. I don't dare to comment at will. I just want to remind King Mian that Lord Nese has just left Cormanthor."
"I know, back off!"
As the sound dissipated, the figure of King Helion disappeared little by little into the meeting hall, and then the elders also dispersed.
Elder Yin Suo, on the other hand, stayed until the end. He stared at King Mian's throne for a long time, laughed a few times before getting up and leaving.
…
Erland border.
Because he deliberately made a detour to Evereska, Shado approached the Erlan border from the southeast, almost to the Ansai Mountains—that is, where the secret base of the demons was initially raided at Hildalanna's invitation— —When in the sky.
As expected, Xia Duo received a communication request from Hildalanna. Beyond the Ansai Mountains was the territory actually controlled by Ye Erlan. Xia Duo's emasculation continued unabated. Even if Ye Erlan hesitated, there would be a result.
In the end, as expected, Hildalanna was chosen, who was an old acquaintance of Sha Duo.
After accessing the communication, Hildalanna conveyed Taivi Mansa's opinions on Shado's entry without any explanation——
Agree with Xiaduo's entry, but the floating city can only move around Taivi Mansa and cannot go to other places.
In other words, Xia Duo will either directly teleport the floating city to the vicinity of Taivi Mansa, or continue to increase the height, slowly fly over from a very high altitude, fly to the sky above Taivi Mansa and then descend.
Through the other party's decision, Shado speculated that although the progress of centralization reform in Yeerlan after the Sluvende War has made great progress compared with before, the unification of the mythos in various places has not been completed until now.
Otherwise, he would be allowed to fly freely like Cormanso, instead of being restricted to the vicinity of Tevi Mansa as he is now.
"Ms. Hildalanna, first of all, I would like to thank King Helion and the Council of Elders of Gaoshu for tolerating my uninvited visit. Secondly, I respect any decision made by Erlan."
After the conversation, Sha Duo sent Hildalanna a formal invitation from the Floating City: "I don't know if Ms. Hildalanna is free now. I would like to ask about some immigration matters in person."
This is of course not that he misses Hildalanna, their relationship is not that close yet; nor is it that he wants to curry favor with her, which is totally wrong!
As for asking for advice on immigration matters, we have already communicated with each other, so why bother!
His real purpose is to find an alibi for himself, and Hilda Lanna is the ideal witness!
Perhaps taking the opportunity to explore the details of the Floating City, Hildalanna did not refuse Xia Duo's invitation, and quickly conveyed it to Hengchun Square, the public area of the Floating City, under Sha Duo's guidance.
"Lord Xia Duo, I never thought that it would be like this when we meet again!"
Seeing Sha Duo again, Hildalanna had a very complicated expression. Sha Duo didn't care. He smiled and asked Hildalanna to sit down on the bench at the edge of the square.
After a business-like reminiscing about old times, Shado quickly got down to business and began to ask Hildalana about some situations after entering the country, including some taboos in Taivimansa City, etc.
But this is Sha Duo's territory. While maintaining the form of a saint to deal with Hildalanna, he also uses the war spell [Wide Area Detection] to project his perception to the far northwest——
Sluvende is now the border city of Terminos.
