Simon is well aware that what investigation withers, this is simply a cover.

How could it be possible to form a temporary group to solve a problem that the elven shepherds and the priests of the eternal dawn had been busy with for so many years and had never found anything?

He thinks it might be Ian's face-saving stubbornness.

So he said: "I understand your request, of course you can engage in research in this area, and we will not obstruct ......."

"Nope."

Ian tapped on the table.

"I mean, this group is going to fully cooperate with me in my research.

"If it were me in the past, I would never spend time on boring political showmanship. But now, the undercurrent behind this has seriously interfered with my research and life.

"So I think it's better to take a stand and solve the problem once and for all, rather than wasting time trying to protect yourself."

Simon's expression froze.

He realized that the problem was not that simple.

Ian continued, "Since you and the people behind you are from the mountains of Mykara, you must understand how much Velitas values this place.

"I confess that your lord has far exceeded my expectations.

"It's a miracle that someone as bold as him could be born in such a closed environment, and it's even more miraculous that he's taken advantage of this chaos to make some jaw-dropping results.

"Out of respect for him, I am willing to join you.

"And, I will publicly declare my support for the Basque race to parliament – you know what that means, right?"

"Public, public statement?"

Simon's jaw was dropping to the ground.

Even Megumi's most optimistic estimate is that Ian will only be in name.

She knew that this was the limit of the other party's concessions.

But it was enough, because they could then trumpet the signal from the act and build momentum for the Basque Country.

But now it's good, Ian plans to skip this step and directly support Basque!

He...... He's crazy, isn't he?

Since Velitas built his own business empire by relying on the magic net, he has never stopped "eroding" the dwarves.

In the process, the Glittering Alliance, led by Ian Hoddle and his ancestors, has always been a formidable obstacle in front of them.

But now, Basque is trying to reap the support of a die-hard like Ian......

What else is needed for this proactive publicity?

The entire Vellitars media will cling to them like kraft candy for news!

Thinking of this, Simon forcibly suppressed the agitation in his heart.

The other party gave too much.

There must be something wrong with this.

He looked at the dwarf, who also withdrew his gaze from Teacher Xia.

He was staring at the text that popped out of his head as he spoke to Dailin.

"It's a big difference from what we expected, so I can't decide." Simon replied thoughtfully.

"I understand that at this level, it's not a deal that you can dominate."

Ian grinned, "High risk, high reward, you should understand that." My support is an important political asset, and it is normal for me to offer high prices. ”

Simon's jaw.

He immediately began to think about how to get in touch with the "above".

The magic web is paralyzed, and now the transmission of information is troublesome.

He suddenly felt that he should have gone back to the mountains of McKala early, which should have taken place after the consultation.

At this time, Teacher Xia suddenly walked over.

With Dailin's help, he understands the conversation between the two.

Even if he is relatively sluggish about politics, he doesn't want to think about it, but with more information, he realizes that the information is poor:

Sister Belly Black didn't know that Ian had studied the withering and the things involved in the Yuan Spirit behind it.

The dwarves must have encountered similar troubles as the withering, otherwise Ian would not have been active in the major ruins in the south, and carried out activities called archaeology and "monster opening" everywhere.

That's why Ian suddenly decided to join.

However, it was not clear to both groups that Heine was now far ahead of the curve in the study of blight.

This guy is no longer satisfied with withering, and has begun to study the ancestors of the Zanluo people!

Now he can not only do a paternity test for the Zanluo people, but also make a stand-in for the warrior brother, which is terrifying!

"This condition is acceptable."

He patted Simon on the shoulder.

The latter was startled and hurriedly pulled him aside.

"Is that what he meant?" He asked in a whisper.

This "he" is clearly referring to Heine.

Teacher Xia pondered for a while and felt that it was too troublesome to explain.

"Right"

He nodded.

Simon was relieved, and then couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, it was Heine who was the most ruthless!

Perhaps Naga's long-term plan also came from Heine.

What a deserving guy is......

When he was making up for it, Teacher Xia looked at Ian.

"Can I ask a question?"

Ian: "Yes. ”

"Why should you be obsessed with studying blight, that's the business of elves?"

Unsurprised, Ian asked rhetorically, "Do you know why all kinds of ancient ruins are widespread only in the mountains of the Northland and the South?" ”

Simon frowned in thought.

Teacher Xia looked at Dai Lin:

"So why?"

Dailin spread her hands: "How do I know?" ”

"You're a very old elf."

Dailin gave him an upward thumbs up:

"I'm just rotten!"

Teacher Xia regretted very much that he didn't learn Brother Wei's question mark storm.

He wanted to put a question mark on it now.

Ian raised an eyebrow as he explained before the atmosphere became too witty:

"I've never been to the Northland, but it's said that because of the cold, most of the ruins there are underground labs and warehouses.

"And our ruins here are mainly divided into two types, half of them are underground mausoleums, and half are former palace pavilions."

Dai Lin: "You really like to dig holes, I can understand why the palace buildings are built underground......

Ian: "I thought so at first, and it wasn't until later that I realized that it wasn't. Those palaces...... It is slowly swallowed up by the earth. ”

He said in a calm tone something that made people think about it.

The three looked at each other—if they could read a skeleton's expression.

Simon: "You mean...... The earth is swallowing up the buildings on the surface? ”

Ian bowed: "Yes, the earth is like a 'living thing', swallowing our buildings into our bodies.

"The fortress of the mountains that you are familiar with used to really stand on the top of the mountain, but now, it has sunk into the ground, which is a secret that the Glittering Gold Alliance has always kept.

"The reason why there are so many hills and mountains in the south is that the soil is slowly drained from the body of the 'earth'.

"It's not necessarily the same in the Northland, where the soil is cold and hard, and the terrain is vast, so it's slow to change, but I don't think it's too bad."

After a pause, he sighed: "This world is actually terminally ill, and different ethnic groups face different problems.

"Sadly, almost everyone is aware of this, but not everyone has the courage to face it.

"So whenever I have the opportunity, I don't want to let it go. Even if I know that I am being used by you, it would be good if I could get closer to the answer. ”

Hearing this, Simon's heart was also mixed.

If it had been him, he would probably have scoffed at Ian's words.

But since becoming Heine's spy, he has been exposed to more and more secret content, and has heard more and more voices outside of Vlitas, the more he can understand Ian.

The world is indeed terminally ill.

The elves face the withering, and the Northland suffers from the undead.

The dwarves are being swallowed up by the earth, and the Zanro people are fighting among themselves.

Velitas ......

It was originally Heaven, but the outbreak of the Void Calamity put a question mark on all of this.

How do you look at it......

The mountains of Maikala are the safest???

…

After Mr. Xia made a decision, there were some details left.

Simon and Ian quickly ended the discussion.

After all, although this trip is "extensively" recruiting dwarven totem masters into the group, they have to run a lot of places.

But this is Ian Hoddle.

He's here, so he doesn't care about the three melons and two dates.

The two sides agreed to meet in a month east of Eagle Rank Mountain.

It was washed by the holy light, because it was too sunny and there was no grass, so there were no living creatures to live in, and there were no cracks and strange beasts, and it was very safe.

At that time, it will be the large army sent by Vitas.

"Are you going back to report to Heine?"

Seeing Ian away, Mr. Xia immediately asked Simon.

Simon nodded.

Megumi did arrange this, he was going back to relays to Heine about the recent events in Villitas, and by the way, let him restrain himself.

It stands to reason that the Einsatzgruppen would not have passed through the mountains of McCalalla.

But it is better to take precautions, lest some people do not obey the call.

Teacher Xia: "Then you can go to the Zanluo Plateau with me, I will go back recently."

Simon was stunned: "What am I going to do in that place?" ”

He actually wanted to ask from the beginning:

Why did Heine's skeleton come from the Zanro Plateau?

Has he already sent someone to fight him?

Teacher Xia: "We do business with those barbarians, and we lack a brain."

Doing business with the Zanlo?

Simon's expression was wonderful.

This is a career plan he never thought of......
