In Mercade's memory, the teleportation spell based on the fluctuating location of the background of the magic web is a skill that every high-level mage who goes out on a mission must master.

As for the teleportation spell located in six-dimensional coordinates, it did not exist in McAd's memory, so Xia Duo also speculated that it was either too long since the collapse of the empire at this moment, and some of the spells had been lost.

But the Arcane Empire has a library, and it shouldn't be difficult to save some spell materials, and Xia Duo is more inclined to be deliberately blocked from above.

After all, the six-dimensional coordinates contain too much and too specific information, and as long as a high-level mage defects or is captured, it may cause an entire base to be exposed to the elves' field of vision.

At that time, it is estimated that no one below the high-level mage will survive.

As far back as McCard can remember, he lived in a large underground base before he became a high-level mage, and all of them had to undergo a lifelong magical education in college.

And in such a base, it is not a happy thing to be alive, let alone to give birth, everyone who does not become a full-fledged mage before the age of sixteen must have at least two offspring in pairs, even if they become later, they must also give birth.

And if you can't become a full-fledged mage, it's even worse, you have to give birth endlessly, men are fine, it's just a monthly injection task, it's more of a psychological discomfort, and women are suffering from both psychological and physical pain at the same time.

Even if the high-level leaders of the base come up with all kinds of brainwashing tactics, the pain itself is difficult to soothe.

As for the official mage, if you can't become a high-level mage, you have to stay in the base for the rest of your life, either becoming a magic technician or becoming a high-level mage (including above).

Only high-level mages have the right to go out, but only if they want to return to the base, they must save enough points.

Aside from accumulating points, the only way to return to the base is to die, after which you will be resurrected once for free at the base, but at the cost of being extremely heavily indebted.

Shado thought back to the inside of the base, and he was puzzled by the idea that McAdder had been thinking about returning to the base.

Of course, if he hadn't given up information about subconscious thought patterns when he was sorting through McCard's memories, he might have been able to understand McCarder's thoughts by now.

……

After teleporting, Xia Duo was surprised that he had appeared in a forest, and even a group of elven civilians could be seen picking fruits not far away.

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind a hugging tree, "It's a beautiful scene, the empire used to be like that, even better than that!" ”

Xia Duo hurriedly turned around to look, only to see that the person who came was a short-haired woman wearing a light green elf sword suit and a long sword at her waist.

But Xia Duo did not dare to slack off in the slightest, because this woman named "Elise" was the top boss of "McCadder", and she was also a senior arcanist.

In a place like the [Vengeance Inquisition], a woman can become a senior arcanist, instead of being reduced to a fertility tool, which shows how powerful she is.

Such people, even in Nessreel, are rare.

"My lord, Mercade reports back to you!" Chardo saluted respectfully as McCadder had spoken.

The woman did not speak, but walked slowly to Xia Duo, and looked directly at Xia Duo with her sharp gaze, as if she was observing something, and said for a long time:

"The mission has failed, except for you, only Peter has returned, do you have anything to explain?"

When Xia Duo heard this, he suddenly felt bad, it was clear that "McCadder" was four people when he fled the shelter, why was only Peter going back?

"We encountered an ambush, the Comanso Demon had known for a long time that we were going there, and if it weren't for the ambush and the participation of the High Demon, I wouldn't have been able to come back alive at all."

Xia Duo almost gritted his teeth and said sincerely, and after speaking, he did not forget to unbutton his shirt, revealing half of his body eroded by negative energy.

But Elise was not moved by this, not even her eyes moved, but continued to ask, "Then what do you think caused the leak of your target?" ”

"I don't dare to say." Xia Duo hesitated, but still didn't dump Peter directly, because he didn't know what Peter said when he went back, and if he threw the pot to him, then he would probably be betrayed by the two of them if he threw the pot at each other like this.

There is no need to have clear evidence, as long as there is suspicion, you can justifiably arrange a mortal mission for him, although the Arcane Empire is shattered, but the background is still not shallow, just a high-level mage newcomer, just a consumable.

But you can't say nothing, otherwise it's likely to become your own.

Chardo's hesitation made Elise frown, she snorted coldly and spit out, "I command you!" ”

"My lord, I distinctly remember that all four of us fled back to Temporary Vault 025, but then I was temporarily unconscious trying to heal my wounds, and when I woke up, they were gone."

"You're saying - as members of the same task force, they abandoned you while you were still alive?"

"Uh-"

Xia Duo didn't know how to answer, maybe Peter went back and said that the three of them had discovered the pursuers and deliberately went to divert them, and then two died, leaving only one Peter to go back.

But it could also be that Peter was saying that McCard was the betrayer.

Even Elise may not be telling the truth at this moment, and maybe all four of Peter will go back!

In this way, if he climbs and bites indiscriminately, won't he confirm the identity of the betrayer?

Chardo guessed that if other survivors returned, they might be treated like this, and the so-called Peter returned alive alone was only Elise's statement.

tomato

Maybe Jason of the four is still alive, or maybe all of them are dead, except for McCard, who is now Chardo, everyone else is alive.

It's simply an alternative prisoner's dilemma.

Xia Duo could only choose to tell the truth, "I'm not sure if they abandoned me, but it's true that I didn't see them when I woke up. ”

He wasn't sure if the betrayer was Peter or not now, but it was certain that the betrayer must have been one of the four of them.

Otherwise, the betrayer could be Elise, or even higher, which would be terrible.

Xia Duo was thinking about Elise and said to him with a serious face, "Welcome to join us", when he heard Elise's cold voice from the outside world-

"Kill them!"

Following Elise's gaze, Xia Duo understood that the "they" in the other party's mouth meant the group of elven civilians who were picking fruits not far away.

Xia Duo couldn't help frowning, if it was "McCaddy", he would naturally be able to kill civilians without hindrance, because this was his task in itself, but now that "McArd" had changed to "Inner Core", Xia Duo did not approve of this approach.

But it seems that what else can the Arcane Empire do at the moment but frantically attack all kinds of living forces in Komanso, including civilians?

A head-on confrontation is certainly unbeatable, and without the support of a huge population with war potential, even if every battle can be won, it will inevitably fall into an unstoppable decline in the end.
