Arcane Lord

As soon as Iolum finished speaking, there was a commotion in the hall. The federation directors who were listening on the periphery only dared to communicate with each other with their eyes, but the great arcanists could communicate directly and openly.

Skum looked at everyone in the Seven Towers without any scruples, with a sense of joy in his eyes. Who would have thought that not long ago, he was still panicking and fearing the attack from the Seven Towers that might come at any time.

Now that he gained power, he immediately vented all his unhappiness, not just because of some unspeakable plan, but——

Being able to see people in the Seven Towers being unhappy is his greatest joy!

On the other side, Iolum's truthful answer made Badigal feel a little embarrassed. Although he did not criticize Iolum's behavior itself, everyone has emotions, and when it comes to himself, his reaction Still very real.

Facing the various eyes of everyone, Badigal lamented in his heart. He did not expect that Seven Towers made no mistakes in the investigation report, but he was caught on this issue.

But there is still a remedy. Thinking of this, Badigal adjusted his mood, glanced at Iolum, and said slowly to everyone:

"The main body of the Sevington Mystery Lock has indeed been built, but there are still a few modifications that have not been completed. Strictly speaking, it is not completed. What's more, such a large project requires more testing to verify the completeness of its functions. ,stability!

"As Master Iolum said, the Mystic Lock was completed a few days ago, but later modifications, tests, and even adjustments and retests cannot be completed in a short period of time."

After speaking, he paused and focused on Iolum, as did everyone else.

In this regard, Iolum's expression remained unchanged. Of course, he knew that this was Badigal's excuse, but in his heart, this excuse was quite right.

No matter what Lord Hawke's real thoughts are, in the current situation where Cliff suffered an unexpected death and people's hearts are unstable, it is undoubtedly inappropriate to ask the Severington Council to relax the restrictions on tower construction!

Strictly speaking, what Badigal said is not wrong. The Severnton Mystery Lock does require later testing. Therefore, Iolum did not object to Badigal's current explanation just because he confirmed Lord Hawke's words. .

So, he nodded to Badigal and said clearly to everyone: "The Severnton Mystery Lock has indeed been completed, but subsequent testing and adjustments will indeed take time."

With Iolum's proof, the atmosphere in the hall changed again, but compared to the previous undercurrent, it has become a lot more relaxed now.

Badigal continued:

“When the test is completed and the Sevington Council will announce it to the public, the application process for the construction of the Mage Tower will be greatly streamlined.

"If Lord Hawk still wants to build a mage tower in Severton, I will order the relevant personnel to approve your application as soon as possible."

This still does not clearly answer whether a tower can be built, but this is already the most sincere answer Badigal thinks.

Since the completion of the Severnton Mystery Lock, the Seven Towers have been testing the interaction between it and the mage towers within the range, trying to find a balance between (mystery lock) order and (mage tower) independence.

If this problem is not resolved, the Seven Towers will not easily relax restrictions on tower construction.

…

When things have developed to this extent, Hawke has realized that it is no longer realistic for everyone in the Seven Towers to promise to immediately relax the restrictions on tower construction.

But he was not without gains. At least he pointed out the fact that the Sevington Mystery Lock had been completed. As a dialogue platform complementary to the Sevington Parliament, the Austrian-French Federation had the Mystery Lock authority.

As the Grand Arcanist of the Arcane Federation, he can theoretically have certain authority and participate in the Mystery Lock test.

Hawke really wanted to force Seven Towers to distribute the secret keys to everyone now, but some things went too far and were not good for him. He wanted to step on the bottom line but not cross it.

The Seven Towers are enemies, but elves may not be friends. After becoming the Grand Arcanist, Hawke's mentality has undergone some subtle changes. If he can be a master in Netheril, why should he go to the elves to do it? Where is the dog?

During this period of time, he had deeply realized the various benefits of the Grand Arcanist, but thinking of what Ambassador Atlan mentioned, Hawke gritted his teeth and said again:

"There's another thing. I believe you all received an invitation from Prince Pasteur yesterday. I don't know if you went, but I did.

"Prince Pasteur mentioned that Danzo's underground war situation is becoming increasingly difficult and asked me for personal assistance.

"Then I have to ask, how long will the Northland Alliance negotiations last? If the alliance is not established, will the support given to Danzo not be realized?

"The drow race is aggressive and resorts to extreme measures like demon summoning. Have you not forgotten what happened in the Snowmelt Competition? Do you really have to wait until the drow conflict underground and reach Netheril before you start regretting it?

"You must know that there is an underground passage in Zenis. There are still many hidden passages in other places. The threat of drow is not far away from us!"

"The Seven Towers have always been in charge of the Northland Alliance negotiations, and most of the people here are lords. Shouldn't the Seven Towers give us an explanation?"

Hawke's words were righteous and upright, especially when he talked about the scene when he met Prince Pasteur, he showed his true feelings.

Even Badigal, who was facing off against the opponent just now, couldn't figure out Hawke's true intention for a while, but he instinctively felt that there was a problem here.

Do you want to cause trouble while assisting Danzo? Or do you want to unite everyone to intervene in the negotiations of the Seven Towers?

Or maybe he was simply moved by Prince Pasteur and did some personnel work?

Badigal communicated privately with several other great arcanists in the Seven Towers, and they all agreed that Hawke could not have any good intentions and that there must be some kind of conspiracy.

At the same time, everyone in the Seven Towers is not prepared to be led by Hawke all the time. Although this matter indeed deserves an explanation, it doesn't matter if it doesn't.

After all, under the current situation, the Northland Alliance negotiations have the greatest impact on Denzo, and the impact on Netheril is not as great as imagined.

As for the lords of Netheril, if they have not paid any attention to it, this matter is almost as if it does not exist.

It doesn't matter if the negotiation takes a long time. Anyway, it's not Netheril that's anxious now, but Denzo, or even——

Cormanso!

Thinking of this, Badigal seemed to understand something. He glanced at Hawke with a deep look and said to everyone: "I'm too tired today. Let's stop here. Regarding the Northland Alliance negotiations, Severn will discuss it later." The Dayton Council will have its own explanation.”

After saying that, he gave a slight salute to Iolum, and then teleported away first.

After Badigal, everyone in the Seven Towers left one after another. At the same time, the door of the conference hall quietly opened. The hint was so obvious that the Federation directors who were listening on the periphery also left one after another.

Then came Magna and others, until finally only Hawke, Iolum and Director Hatchernis were left in the hall, waiting for Iolum's further instructions.
