ALL NOVEL Chapter 448 Indirect conspiracy
Driving away wolves and devouring tigers is one of Xia Zuo's strategies to deal with the August family.
As the most loyal group of people in the temple, the Demon Hunting School can definitely be called jealous of evil. Even the high-ranking Holy Pattern Department does not want to be defeated by the Demon Hunting School.
In the entire temple, only the Tribunal and the Temple Army, which have relatively independent powers and operating models, are exempt from dealing with the Demon Hunting School. All other departments, including the Holy Pattern Department, must unconditionally cooperate with the Demon Hunting School's investigation. Otherwise, it will be transferred directly to the trial court for processing.
The August family must do something to clear their suspicions and deal with the demon hunting school to avoid getting into trouble.
After using the [Space-Time Phase Simulator] to deduce, Xia Zuo clearly knew that the August family had three ways to solve the current problem:
The first is to frame up and frame the blame.
The August family forged a top-secret mission order and at the same time found a temple department secretly building teleportation passages in the Western Continent.
The forged instruction letter was used to prove that the transmission channel that was attacked last night complied with the temple's laws.
And the temple department that secretly built the transmission channel became the scapegoat.
Their teleportation channel will be placed with traces of strange demons by the August family, creating an unjust, false and wrong case in which the teleportation channel was secretly used by strange demons due to the accidental leakage of the teleportation identification code.
The second method of the August family is to use strange demons to kill Rexor.
This purpose can be achieved by creating a chance encounter between Rexor and Grand Sabage.
The third method is to use a battle to divert Rexor's attention.
For example, gather an army, launch a tentative attack on the territory of the Strange Demon Church, and use an emergency war mobilization order to mobilize Rexor.
What strategy the August family will ultimately adopt depends entirely on Rexall's attitude.
If he was satisfied with the mission instructions and a transmission channel that was falsely accused of colluding with strange demons, then this matter would be over. The source of the strange demons that invaded the Western Continent this time has been finally revealed.
But if Rexor doesn't accept this result and wants to follow the so-called witcher's intuition and dig deeper for clues - study the authenticity of the mission instruction book or investigate the framed temple department in depth, then Ogu The Ste family will come up with the latter two methods.
The real way to drive away wolves and swallow tigers is not to let a wolf innocently rush up and bite a group of tigers, but to let the tigers relax their vigilance first, let a large group of wolves surround the tigers, and then make a violent attack.
For Xia Zuo, how to make Fanghuo relax his vigilance is the most difficult thing.
As for the August family, how to make Xia Zuo think that the August family has relaxed their vigilance is the most difficult thing.
It's like two passers-by facing each other, both wanting to punch each other, but at the same time knowing that the other person wants to punch themselves.
The two used methods such as expressing goodwill to each other, verbally agreeing not to punch each other, and swearing not to punch each other to make each other lose their guard. The only purpose was to actually punch the unsuspecting opponent.
This is an infernal drama in which veteran actors compete with each other in their acting skills. Only when one person is held up by a gun and the other person fails to react, this performance full of cunning and calculation will come to an end.
Xia Zuo has a unique advantage in this rivalry:
His power of time and space is too powerful, so he will not appear in the future predicted by anyone.
Bovaru's power of time and space is not as good as Xia Zuo. Xia Zuo can deduce what Bovaru did as much as he wants, but he must remember one thing:
Before Bovaru successfully led his family to leave the planet, everything he did was just to achieve this goal, instead of really surrendering to Xia Zuo, begging for mercy, and praying to put aside the past grudges.
Through the [Space-time Phase Simulator], Xia Zuo saw the whole process of Bovaru explaining to the female mage beside him that the strange demon attack last night and Rexor's early discovery of the submarine melting cave had nothing to do with Xia Zuo.
The kindness shown by Bovaru was just a disguise.
The female mage who had followed Bovaru for many years knew the reason why he said this, so she remained silent.
Xia Zuo saw through this disguise and was sure that the distance contest between himself and Bovaru had begun.
From now on, there will be a split between what Bovaru says and what he does in the dark, in response to Xia Zuo, who is a transparent person to him.
With the enemy's vision lost, can Bovarou lead the August family to suppress Xia Zuo?
…
What kind of person is Rexall?
Rough yet delicate, the seemingly rough appearance hides a meticulous mind that observes every detail;
Sophisticated and tactful, after many years of interpersonal communication, he has a deep understanding of people's hearts, discerns patterns, and is good at saying different things to different people to achieve his own purpose of conversation;
If you are loyal to your camp, as long as you find a strange monster, you will kill it without mercy;
Be loyal to the temple, and any behavior that violates the laws will attract the attention of the demon hunter master;
Perseverance and diligence, when there is a task, you must do your duty - drinking to pass the time quickly while waiting for the research report does not count as slacking off;
If you understand Rexor's personality, thinking patterns and behavior style, and give him a little guidance, you can make him walk on the designated path.
…
Early morning hours.
Early in the morning, the floating clouds in the sky and the haze on the ground call it a day and go home, leaving only the dazzling sun hanging alone in the sky, giving full play to its light and heat, and greeting everyone who gets up early with an extremely warm temperature. people.
Xia Zuo walked out of the dormitory as usual, had breakfast with Anruer, and then went to the alchemy room in the tower to do experiments.
After developing to this stage, the experience and attribute value rewards obtained through alchemy, reading, and practicing spells are no longer enough.
But in order to maintain his salty character and cope with the secret observation, Xia Zuo had to do research in the alchemy room every day like an ordinary pure-blood mage.
Last night, the mage of the No. 12 Vest Battery was arranged to meet and talk with Rexor. Xia Zuo specially made the No. 12 Vest into the appearance of a faceless man in order to give the bald head a greater sense of impact and at the same time enhance the conveyance of the No. 12 Vest. the credibility of the information.
The effect of this arrangement was remarkable. The appearance of the Faceless Man and the information he brought were enough to calm the bald head all night long. So much so that when he knocked on the door of the alchemy room this morning, Rexall had a look on his face. Full of fatigue and sadness.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Xia Zuo invited the bald head into the alchemy room and brought him refreshing tea. "Is the information found in the deep sea last night not good? This is the first time I've seen you crispy. It’s like this...”
"The situation is indeed not good...cough cough cough..." Rexor coughed hoarsely a few times, took a sip of hot tea, waited until his throat was softened by the tea, and his voice recovered and continued:
"Late last night, I found a submarine molten cave in the deep sea that emitted the light of a teleportation channel. There was a group of August family guards guarding it. They were adjusting the energy flow rate of the teleportation channel. It seemed that they were closing this place without registration. The teleportation channel on the temple list..."
Rexall described what happened last night, bent his arms on the edge of the desk, and pressed his forehead with his palms:
“The people guarding the submarine cave told me that this is a top-secret mission location with special permissions.
"I checked through my colleagues in the temple and found out that there is indeed such a top-secret mission that is not open to anyone with any level of knowledge.
"This means that we found the wrong place. The submarine cave was just above the direction of my travel, so I encountered it. The teleportation channel we are really looking for is further south of the submarine cave. .”
Xia Zuo sat at the desk and nodded thoughtfully, "Then do you want to go there again today?"
"Yes." Rexor drank the hot tea in the cup in one gulp. "Same as yesterday, I am waiting on the shore to support me. I will go to the deep sea alone to find the target. Let's set off now."
"OK."
…
The sea water in the deep sea is always in motion. The dirty blood left by the Blood Wax Lemur will flow to the distance with the sea water, and will eventually be diluted, or it will be sucked into the body by the fish without eyes, and will sink with the sudden death of the fish. Deeper ocean.
There are only traces left by the fierce battle, and they can barely stay in the aphotic zone for one night.
Rexall started from the same cliff boulder, swam in the same direction and at the same depth.
If it weren't for the traces of the blood of strange demons that corroded the stone walls on the underwater molten cave, Rexor would have almost thought that the battle that took place here last night was an illusion.
Overnight, the molten cave on the seabed was empty.
The radiant transmission channel is gone, the alchemy device is gone, and the ground has been cleaned with [Shaping Technique], erasing all traces of human activities.
The top-secret mission instruction book stated that the Holy Pattern Ministry hired mages from the August family to build a transmission channel in a remote corner of the Western Continent as a convenient channel for the Holy Pattern Department's envoys to investigate the progress of the Western Continent.
This transmission channel was established 110 years ago and was not used until the construction of the transmission hall in the Western Continent was completed.
The alchemists and family guards who appeared here last night were ordered by the Holy Pattern Department to close the transmission channel.
Because it was involved in the secret mission of the Holy Pattern Department, it was not reported to Starry Night Academy.
With written proof, Rexall chose to believe it all for now.
He bypassed this underwater molten cave and headed further south.
One thousand meters south of the submarine cave, Rexor stopped and carefully looked at the energy monitoring device in his hand.
The needle on the dashboard still pointed due south.
This shows that the energy fluctuations tracked by this device are to the south.
Passing by the underwater melting cave last night was indeed a coincidence.
Rexor looked back at the direction of the molten cave on the seabed, and then accelerated his swimming towards the distance.
…
On top of boulders on coastal cliffs.
Xia Zuo remained invisible and sat cross-legged on the ground.
He sensed Rexor's movements and breathed a sigh of relief after the opponent continued to swim south.
As long as Rexor can successfully find the transmission channel where the August family framed the blame today, then the next step of the plan will work.
In the [Space-Time Phase Simulator], Xia Zuo found the transmission channel that was framed in advance.
It was a transmission channel belonging to the Undersea Magma Research Group. It had no legal authority and no permission from the temple. It was built privately by this research group.
This transmission channel was built near an exposed seafloor magma. It relied on collecting the heat energy of the magma to maintain the transmission channel. It also relied on the huge heat energy emitted by the magma at all times to cover up the energy fluctuations of the transmission channel itself.
There is another benefit to building the teleportation channel next to the magma:
Destroying evidence is very quick.
As long as the supporting parts of the transmission channel are removed and the entire micro sub-dimensional plane falls into the magma, most of the unfavorable evidence can be destroyed.
In order to give the bald head enough time to investigate the transmission channel, Xia Zuo spent a lot of effort.
He controlled the vest to go to the magma on the seabed overnight, put down the forged traces of strange demons, and guided the alchemy instrument in Rexor's hand to point here.
Then, he asked the vest to reinforce the support parts of the transmission channel so that it could last longer after someone activated the self-destruction program.
Xia Zuo's hard work paid off. In the evening, Rexor successfully reached the vicinity of the seafloor magma.
This is a sea of fire.
Heavy seawater is above, and even heavier fiery red magma is below. A red fire dragon that emits billowing heat waves and heats the surrounding seawater to near boiling meanders on the charred seabed toward the end of the field of vision.
Undersea magma is one of the wonders of the deep sea and is full of dangers. Even with the protection of water pressure relieving magic, Rexor only dared to walk around far away from the magma.
Fire pillars spewing out from the magma underground from time to time, black flammable particles in the boiling water, and what looks like a piece of ground, but when you step on it you find that it is a layer of magma covered with ash. These are dynamic and unpredictable. Natural traps can easily and painfully end the life of every mage.
First find the specific location of the transmission channel, and then descend to the transmission channel from a place three thousand meters above the seafloor magma. This is the only action plan with a relatively high safety factor.
Xia Zuo, who was far away on the coast of the South China Sea, watched Rexor carefully explore the magma on the seabed, and the last worry in his heart dissipated.
Rexor found the transmission channel to cross. Even if the plan here on the Western Continent was a complete success, Xia Zuo achieved the two goals he set:
The first goal is to cut off the transmission channel for the alien demons to reach the Western Continent, so that the number of existing alien demons in the Western Continent will no longer expand, and GLS Beqi will have nowhere to escape.
The second goal is to interrupt the August family's idea of sacrificing the Western Continent.
Regardless of whether Bovaru is willing or not, he will not open a new transmission channel here in the Western Continent again, and other existing transmission channels will also enter a silent state.
Although Bovaru regarded Rexor as the protagonist of this matter, he knew in his heart that all this was Xia Zuo's arrangement.
If Xia Zuo can find a transmission channel that serves strange demons, he can find another one.
Continuing to use the teleportation channel to help the Strange Demon Church will only anger Xia Zuo and lead to more violent revenge.
Thinking from Bovaru's perspective, he must have a huge headache now:
If you can't sacrifice the Western Continent, then where should you go to gather vitality for the Strange Demon Church?
Xia Zuo will help him make the decision.
The answer lies in the Kingdom of Wildhammer, a high-temperature country full of ores and geothermal resources.
There are many dangerous and magnificent underground wonders such as the undersea magma belt under the Kingdom of Wildhammer.
Xia Zuo will not tell the Church of Strange Demons where the hidden dangers of the earth veins that Inster Heguman knows are exactly, and how to accurately destroy the underground magma zone and plunge the Kingdom of Wildhammer into turmoil.
This is an inhumane and cruel act that will cause disaster to many innocent humans and goes against Xia Zuo's moral philosophy.
Xia Zuo would only remind the royal family members of the Wildhammer Kingdom out of good intentions, where there are hidden dangers that endanger the whole country.
As for whether the royal family members will trust letters from strangers and take measures to prevent crises, that is their own business.
