The appearance of Ivoryaris did not change the elf assassin's determination to completely sublimate, but before disappearing, he still couldn't help but stare at Ivoryaris, as if he was nostalgic in every possible way, but still determined.
At the same time, Shado also continued to change the spatial composition of the area near Offa Square through the floating city. Not only himself, but also Ivoryaris, who would suddenly appear, was also protected.
But the next moment, the Elf Assassin sacrificed himself for the final blow, and the final blow was completely formed. The originally temporarily constructed Mystic Lock instantly shrank into a ball within an imperceptible time limit, condensed into a tangible entity, and penetrated the space and shot straight towards Xia Duo. .
At this moment, whether it is space extension, space blockage, or the endless protection dropped by the floating city, they are all so dim in front of this tangible and fatal light.
Before Xia Duo could react, the light came out of his body, taking away all the vitality of Xia Duo. Only the time protection barrier, which was dull for a moment, still adhered to its last duty——
The time and space around Xia Duo's body were solidified, turning into a dead statue with a dark surface but a strange light.
The next moment, a large amount of space fog escaped from the outline of the statue, and then the entire place disappeared.
This change exceeded everyone's expectations, not only Ambassador Yeerlan who was still protected by the wide-area ban, but also Badigal and others who were stabilizing the mystery lock outside Offa Square, and even Iolum who rushed over after receiving the news. .
"How is this possible? What on earth is that light?"
"How is that possible? Didn't you just suppress the elf assassin and beat him?"
"Something bad happened!"
"Shado!"
…
Everyone on the surface had different thoughts. At this moment, almost everyone thought of one thing. They subconsciously looked up and saw that Xia Duo's floating city still maintained its normal hovering state.
But the more normal it is, the heavier the mood of the people below becomes. Just as everyone is thinking about how to deal with the aftermath, a discordant voice suddenly sounds:
"Let me go! Lord Badigal, is this Netheril's attitude towards diplomatic envoys?"
Badigal looked back, and saw that the wide-area ban that might have appeared around Ivoryaris for protective purposes was shrinking the space a little bit.
Not only that, it can be seen from the speed of Ivoryars' words and movements that the time he is in is also freezing little by little. Before Badigal can think about it, Ivoryars has turned into a proud but frightened statue. .
Just like how the dark statue of Shado disappeared before, Ivoryaris' solidified body also quickly disappeared.
Badigal wanted to stop him, but when he thought that Shado didn't know whether he was alive or dead because of the Elf Assassin, and that the assassin kept claiming to represent Taivi Mansa's will, he ultimately did not stop him, even though his actions might not have any stopping effect.
"What should we do now?" Horn frowned, already thinking about the consequences of this matter. If it is not handled well, not to mention Netheril's internal affairs, even the entire Northland may be in turmoil.
"No matter what, let's stabilize Severington's Mystery Lock first."
As the talker of the Seven Towers, Badigal made a decision at this moment, but he did not take action himself. Instead, he called Randall and other seven tower controllers, and he himself came to Iolum, who was also frowning in deep thought. before.
After hesitating for a moment, Badigal asked meaningfully:
"Master Iolum, do you think this matter is-"
"I understand what you mean. My answer is that I don't know. Shado has told me before that he does not want Ellan to interfere in Netheril's internal affairs, but based on my understanding of him, he should not take such drastic measures. .”
"But just now——"
Badigal wanted to continue speaking, but Iolum stopped him, "You want to say that Xia Duo had a chance to leave just now, or kill the assassin directly?
"Then why doesn't Xia Duo overestimate himself? He has achieved such an achievement at such a young age. If I were him, I would be proud, but that's not a problem.
"The assassin just now clearly claimed to represent the will of Tevi Mansa. This is obvious to everyone. It cannot be ignored because of Shado's behavioral mistakes. I think the most important thing you should do now is to question Ambassador Ye Erlan why he did this.
"Oh, I almost forgot. The Ambassador Ifuaris has been taken away by Shado's floating city, but there should be other advisers, secretaries, and attachés in the Yeerlan embassy. Are you sure you don't want to ask them first? "
“What about Ivoryaris—” Badigal asked again when he saw that Iolum was intending to end the conversation.
"I will go up there to take a look, but don't hold your hopes too high. What would you think if you were attacked like this? What about that young man Xia Duo? Think about what he did in the south. Only arresting one ambassador, Ye Erlan, is already considered a very restrained act."
Even though he said this, there was still a trace of doubt in Iolum's heart. He suspected that all of this was written and acted by Sha Duo, but he would not trick the students at this time.
"Stop talking, I'll go take a look above first. You should go talk to Ye Erlan as soon as possible. If it's confirmed that Ye Erlan did it, think about how to deal with the aftermath!"
"well--"
Badigal let out a long sigh and flew towards the Yerlan Embassy. On the way, he noticed that the Seventon Mystery Lock was under the control of everyone in the Seven Towers and gradually stabilized.
It's a pity that the collapse continued steadily instead of stopping the collapse stably. Seeing this scene, Badigal sighed in his heart again, "It seems that there are great dangers in building this kind of mysterious lock!"
Then he thought of what Horn had told him before. Shado wanted to trade the floating city, including the Mystery Lock, with the Seven Towers. One of the conditions was that the Seven Towers must return the peaks of the Straits Mountains that were intercepted during the construction of New Severnton. .
At that time, he rejected the deal almost without hesitation. In addition to the main factor that New Severington involved the face of the Seven Towers, it was also an important reason that he felt that Shado's secret lock was not necessarily very clever.
But now it seems that being able to perform outstandingly during the Sluvende War and being able to destroy a main city of Jamdas in the south without being held accountable is obviously more than just the mobile war spell platform.
…
On the other side, watching Badigal go away little by little, Iolum looked back at the ruined scene of Severton's Mystery Lock, and flew quickly towards Chang'an, the floating city hovering above Severington with full of doubts. .
Contrary to the expected vigilance, Iolum barely felt any obstruction as he passed through the space barrier and arrived at Hengchun Square in the public area of Chang'an City.
And at a glance, he saw the dark statue standing quietly in the center of the square. The statue was surrounded by people. This scene - how should I put it? Iolum felt that it was a bit inconsistent, that it was a bit too deliberate.
