As for whether the Illuminati of the Kingdom of Glory is the Illuminati of the main plane, of course Shado will not just listen to Cliff's words. The other party may not lie, but he will inevitably ignore some key information.
And it was impossible for Xia Duo to tell the other party all the information he knew about the Illuminati, so he could only investigate through other channels, such as the Ted Messenger, or he could go to the Kingdom of Glory to investigate in person.
Now that it has been confirmed that there is an Illuminati in the Kingdom of Glory, regardless of whether the other party is an invader from parallel time and space, Xia Duo has reason to go and confirm it in person.
After all, the invasion of parallel time and space involves many things, and he has not been able to understand the principle of it until now. How can a possibility that does not actually exist relative to the time and space he is currently working in be able to change time and space?
Solidifying certain historical nodes can "save effort" when changing time and space. This is understandable. After all, the greater the difference between two time and spaces, the more difficult it may be to change. This is a simple cognition, but what is the principle?
It was just obtained through interrogation of demon descendants, so why do you think this is definitely correct?
Maybe it was just released by the Illuminati to fool this time and space demon. In fact, all the prerequisites for time and space transformation have been met?
This sense of crisis that may cease to exist at any time, although it seems a bit illusory, makes Xia Duo feel more uneasy than the real and visible crisis of the collapse of Long Kuang Mystic Lock.
After thinking for a moment, Shado asked Cliff again: "What about the Kingdom of Elam? Have you found any clues about their connection with the demon descendants?"
"Unfortunately, no, I just confirmed that there are indeed demon descendants in the Kingdom of Elland." When Cliff said this, his expression was also a little embarrassed.
What difference does it make if this is said or not?
Now the top leaders in the North know that demons are very good at hiding. Even the upper-class families of Ellan have been infiltrated. The Ellan area originally belonged to Sluvende, and it is an area with a high incidence of demon infiltration incidents.
Now that the Elam region is independent, not all the demons in it may evacuate!
"well--"
Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh. Although he had been mentally prepared before coming and did not have too many expectations for Cliff's investigation results, it was obviously impossible to say that he was not disappointed at all at this time. .
Fortunately, the other party also provided a piece of news that he didn't know before, that is, there is an Illuminati in the Kingdom of Glory. If there is nothing, then it will be a wasted trip!
…
Next, Shado chatted with Cliff for a while about the demon descendants. He had originally planned to leave, but thinking that the spread of Mythra was inevitable, it was better to start with Cliff.
So, he naturally turned the topic to the Floating City, and after chatting for a while, he suddenly asked: "Sir Cliff, do you want to build the most magnificent temple that is also closest to the Lord of Glory?"
"New temple? The most magnificent? The most solution?"
Cliff didn't realize at first that he suddenly talked about the temple, but then he had a bold idea:
"Is Lord Xia Duo planning to build a temple of my lord on the floating city? If possible, I am willing to bear all the expenses!"
"No, for the time being, I am not planning to build any temples on the floating city."
Cliff was a little disappointed by Chateau's decisive denial, but then he came up with a bolder idea: "Is it possible, Lord Chateau, that you are going to give me a floating city?"
"Ah!"
How dare you think! Xia Duo's first floating city, the one that was named "Chang'an" not long ago, cost tens of millions to build, and it is not yet completely completed.
If this is given away for free, then it will have to go to the outer plane!
"Sir Cliff, am I that rich in your eyes? Can I give you a floating city? But although I can't give you a ready-made floating city, I can provide you with some necessary technologies for making a floating city. If you want, you can build it yourself, and you can build as many as you want. Isn't this much better than getting a big toy directly from me!"
"The necessary technology for making a floating city? Are you saying that you are willing to open up the technology related to independent arcane fire devices to me?"
Although Cliff was born as a priest, he was also a great arcanist. As early as when the Chateau Floating City came out, he had considered what key technologies were needed to build such a floating city.
After discussions with the apprentices, Cliff believed that only an independent arcane fire device could provide sufficient security. Otherwise, what would be worth looking forward to from a big rock that might fall from the sky and smash to pieces at any time!
Now when Xia Duo mentioned the necessary technology for the floating city, he immediately thought of the independent arcane fire device. If he could obtain the relevant technology, it would definitely be the biggest gain for the arcanist!
"Yes, it is the technology related to the independent arcane fire device!"
Regarding Cliff's guess, Shado expressed his affirmation and then pointed out, "But there are prerequisites for open technology!"
"What premise?"
"You need to purchase an independent arcane fire device from me before I can give you the relevant technology."
This is actually the Mythra licensing fee that Shado and Iolum had discussed earlier. It is not something that is absolutely confidential in this world, at least Mythra cannot talk about it yet.
The more Mithra devices sold, the higher the risk of being cracked. Rather than being cracked by others and causing patent disputes, it would be better to open up the technology in the form of a patent from the beginning.
But after all, Mythra is not an ordinary spell, but a high-end technology with extremely high strategic value. It certainly cannot be forced to be promoted among the members of the Mage Tower of the Arcane Federation like ordinary spells.
Only when you purchase the Mithra device, the technology will come with it. On the one hand, it is to keep it as confidential as possible, and on the other hand, it is to take care of the interests of all buyers.
When Xia Duo mentioned the conditions for gifting the technology, Cliff thought of the patent of the Austrian-French Federation, and then drew inferences, "Your Excellency Iolum should also be the owner of this technology. By the way, there should be seven towers." , otherwise I don’t think you would disclose the technology related to the independent arcane fire device at this time.”
"Yes, you guessed it right. The Seven Towers have already obtained technology from the teacher. So, Mr. Cliff, do you want to obtain the technology from the Seven Towers, or from me or my teacher?"
"It shouldn't be easy to get it from the Seven Towers. The ideal thing is of course to get it from Master Iolum or Lord Shado."
Cliff made the choice with almost no hesitation, but he hesitated a little when choosing Iolum or Shado. He thought clearly that even if Shado did not mention the independent arcane fire-related technology this time, I am afraid that in the near future, Master Nei Orem will also pass on this message.
Therefore, he would not necessarily choose to buy from Xia Duo just because Xia Duo informed the news in advance.
Noticing Cliff's hesitation, Shado also gave his own conditions:
"There won't be any difference in price between choosing me or a teacher. The only difference is that if you choose me, you can deliver the goods in a very short time. If you choose a teacher, the time is very uncertain. The reason is that you You should be able to imagine it.”
"Yes, I can imagine that it is not that easy to make an independent arcane fire device, let alone other people competing. I am not completely sure that I will be the first one."
If it is just an ordinary magic item, or a high-quality magic item, it will not have much impact if it is done sooner or later. However, the independent arcane fire device is not only related to the floating city, but also to war spells.
A little earlier and a little later is not a concept at all, and Cliff certainly hopes to get it as soon as possible.
