The efficiency of the Northland Alliance was much higher than Xia Duo expected. On that day, there were mages in the Lingsi Network of the action group who began to discuss the necessity of establishing a standing mages group.

This kind of discussion has largely diluted the irritability of aimlessly waiting for the demon signal. In the discussion among senior and high-level mages, they are more inclined to agree with the establishment of a standing mage group.

After learning about this situation, Xia Duo probably understood that there should be no suspense about this proposal, because these mages from various countries are to a large extent high-level leaders of various countries, or at least a group with a fairly good say.

Their approval can also reflect the attitude of the upper echelons of the elven countries. Just like Badigal, if they can clearly see the benefits, what reason is there to oppose it?

In the end, it is nothing more than a battle for the selection of the commander. This is different from Netheril. Because the Seven Towers have the power to govern Netheril, if such a rapid response team is established, the commander will most likely be from the Seven Towers. .

However, the Northland Alliance does not have much power to govern, and no one company can have absolute dominance. Who will be the commander in the end? Xia Duo himself privately speculated that it might be someone from the five countries who takes turns to be the commander.

This is also a result acceptable to all parties.

Outside of the Lingsi Network, the Northland Alliance also revealed the news of establishing a standing mage group. However, unlike the Gray Peak Mountain Resource Management Committee, establishing a standing mage group or establishing a public computing resource pool is just a matter of The rumor is not the final result.

But even so, it caused heated discussions in the city of Evereska. Even in Xia Duo's Yunfeng Manor, the workers would chat about this topic during their breaks.

But no matter what the external rumors are, for insiders, it cannot conceal the demonic conspiracy behind the timeline fluctuation signal.

It's just that three or four days have passed, and the timeline fluctuation signal only appeared in the first two days, and rarely appeared later. This is the fundamental reason why these temporarily summoned operators, including Xia Duo, are irritable.

Because I don’t know how long we have to wait, there is no accurate estimate at all.

Even if the irritability is temporarily diluted by the discussion about the standing mage group, as long as the standing mage group is not officially established, there will always be a time when Xia Duo and his group can't bear to leave.

So when will it be?

…

This morning, Shado was distractedly using his body to trial-produce a translation device for Nese and Elf magic systems at the Tower of Time. Unexpectedly, from Everesca's side, two intelligence agents from the Action Group's Lingsi Network sent a message about Shado's latest information. News I don’t want to hear—

"The monitoring center detected fluctuations in the timeline signal again, but there was not just one, but two!"

If there is only one signal at the same time, even if it appears multiple times, you can always identify it one by one and determine whether to take action. But if more than one signal is detected at the same time, you will be in big trouble!

The most obvious question is, once two signals of more than 6 minutes appear, which one will the action team of Xia Duo deal with first?

Or is it that the demon's temptation has succeeded from this moment on, and we must check every signal next?

This is the psychology of the Northland Alliance and the demon descendants. Maybe the signal discovered now is still a test, or maybe it is actual action. If it is the latter, it will obviously be too late to wait until 6 minutes to start processing.

At least Xia Duo couldn't finish one ritual and rush to the next one to solve another ritual.

"What did the representatives say? Are we going to investigate one by one? Or should we wait for 6 minutes?"

Not only Xia Duo, but most of the mages in the action team had already started questioning the intelligence agent. After the inquiry, Xia Duo even directly sent a message to the intelligence agent's boss Doom to ask for the opinion of the alliance's top brass.

Less than two minutes later, Doom and the intelligence agent successively sent news——

"The above has decided to investigate one by one. Please be prepared for action. The monitoring center is locating the two newly discovered signals and has dispatched investigators in the general direction. Once the exact location is determined and a ceremony is confirmed to have occurred, please Everyone go and stop it immediately.”

After receiving such news, the Lingsi network suddenly fell silent, and then there was a short but long wait.

The short time means that there is indeed a lot of time. It will definitely take less than six minutes. It is estimated that it can be accurately located in three or four minutes. The long time is the mentality of waiting. No one knows whether this step of going out will successfully disintegrate the demon. The conspiracy still allowed the demon to complete the test.

But no matter what, the alliance's top management has chosen to let the demons test out the existence of the timeline fluctuation signal monitoring technology rather than take the risk of waiting, thus giving the demons a chance to complete the ritual.

Any signs that may lead to the completion of the ritual must be eliminated in time. This is also the original purpose of the establishment of the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory.

At present, the alliance has a certain amount of initiative. Unless the demons improve their technology or give up the ritual, the ritual will not be successful.

Even if the technology is improved, the alliance is still researching and making progress. It depends on who is better.

…

While waiting, UU read a book www. The two intelligence officers of uukanshu.net are also constantly synchronizing the positioning results of the monitoring center and the field investigation status of the Demon Intelligence Room—

"The two signal sources are one in the northwest and one in the southwest. The one in the northwest can be roughly determined to be in the Ansai Mountains between Yerlan and Sharven, while the southwest one may be on the southern border of Sharven."

When the timeline fluctuation signal first appears, it can only roughly determine a range. The longer the duration, the more accurate the positioning accuracy becomes.

Shado temporarily gave up all activities on the body side, transferred all consciousness to the incarnation of Everriska, and calmed down to wait patiently.

Of course, other members of the action team also gathered around Sha Duo at this moment. Everyone was waiting quietly in a secret room in the alliance headquarters, ready to set off at any time.

…

In this way, time passed little by little, and the range of the two signal sources gradually became smaller and smaller from the northwest and southwest directions at the beginning.

Soon, the signal in the northwest direction was first determined -

"The signal in the northwest direction turned out to be at the demon base discovered before! Although it had been destroyed before, the alliance still set up a secret monitoring post nearby. Now the signal position in the northwest direction is combined with the secret post The report and the positioning of the monitoring center were finally determined.”

Only a little over a minute has passed, and the position of the first signal has been determined. It has to be said that there is a bit of luck, but if luck comes, do we still have to push it out?

"The outpost over the Ansai Mountains reported that not long ago, a group of mysterious people in black robes appeared outside the demon base, and then some abnormal spiritual light fluctuations came from the direction of the base."
