Arcane Lord

I don’t know how much time passed, but news came from Oripus that they had completed cooperation negotiations with the Yueguan family, and Lord Collins finally got on the same page. He said to Shado excitedly:

"Lord Shado, you are right. As humans and as the lords of Netheril, we should indeed clarify our position and draw a clear line with the elves."

Speaking of which, the relationship between the two has taken a further step. At least at this moment, the two have the same position.

However, Shado did not discuss in depth how to deal with the potential hidden competition or even war between Cormanthor or other elven kingdoms for Netheril's magic weapons in the future.

On the one hand, he himself was not fully prepared for war and there was no need to reveal his strategic intentions in advance; on the other hand, he also needed to observe Collins again.

The discussion between the two ended with concerns about the future and an affirmation of subsequent cooperation.

…

After Lord Collins left, Shado returned to the study on the top floor of the Tower of Time. Niya was still not there. He sat quietly in front of the projection window, meditating for a long time.

Whether it is speculation about the nature of the world or worries about the future of the current environment, it has put considerable pressure on Xia Duo.

But at this moment, looking at the busy Daxia leaders in the image on the projection window, his mood seemed to become much more relaxed.

At dusk, Iolum sent a message, saying that he had negotiated with the Seven Towers, but Badigal wanted to see Shado. In addition, the experiment that was supposed to be launched yesterday should also continue, and invited Shado to go to Severn tomorrow morning. pause.

Shado did not block his own communications. Receiving Iolum's subpoena meant that Iolum was currently free, so he immediately "called back" and asked the other party:

"Teacher, what is the attitude of the Seven Towers?"

"The Seven Towers are positive about the new nature concept, and they are willing to use their own resources to provide cover for Atwood, but equally, they need all the details about the new nature concept and Atwood's acquisition of the holy power. "

"no problem."

Xia Duo agreed immediately. There was nothing to hide in the first place. Strictly speaking, the new natural concept only provided a feasible idea. If Qita was willing, he could experiment with other ideas and theories.

If you try a few times, you will always get the hang of it. Xia Duo does not think that the new natural concept is the only ideological theory that can obtain holy power.

However, it is true that the new natural concept restrains the extreme ideas of elven druids, but it is a pity that it cannot be widely publicized yet.

"By the way, does the teacher know what Mr. Badigal wants from me?"

If you just want to get the new nature concept and the details of Atwood's obtaining the holy power, there is no need to meet him. There must be other things.

To this, Iolum’s answer was——

"Seven Towers wants to ask you for Atwood. Regardless of whether you refuse or not, Seven Towers will also provide cover for Atwood as agreed. How you choose is entirely up to you."

Although he said that, Shado also heard Iolum's hidden intention and wanted him to hand over Atwood, the source of trouble.

The exposure of the new natural concept is still a small problem. It is just a theory for elves. At most, it can expand the domain of the elves.

But once the existence of the new natural holy power is exposed, the elves may stick to it like a leech that smells blood. After all, the holy power that is born without relying on God is too special, and may even change the pattern of divine power.

"Thank you, teacher, for dealing with me. I still need to think about this matter again."

In fact, it was a polite refusal. Of course, the thank you was genuine. Without Iolum's help, it is conceivable that Xia Duo would not be able to sit here and enjoy the scenery so leisurely.

The Seven Towers have come to arrest people a long time ago. They don't necessarily want to arrest Shado, but Atwood definitely has no chance of running away. How could he not control this unstable factor in his own hands!

Even if Xia Duo revealed his identity as the Grand Arcanist in the end, the best result would be to switch from the control of the Seven Towers to the joint supervision of both parties. It is more likely that the Seven Towers would force him to hand over Atwood.

Of course, if that's the case, Shado can also ask Niya to invite the princess, or ask Jenna or Byron to join the negotiation, but in that case, the situation will be more complicated, and no one can guarantee what will happen in the end. .

Fortunately, Iolum came forward to deal with it, so that the trouble would not end. Now Xia Duo is very satisfied with the result, and his thanks are completely from the heart.

…

Meanwhile, far away in Comanso.

In the village where the Elf Court is located, Farro finally gathered thirteen high-ranking mages who knew all about the ritual. Compared with last time, this time with the support of King Cormanso, there were four more who had not been there before. A gold elf high mage who participated in the Omniscient Ceremony.

What worries Farrow is that his control over the organization is getting lower and lower. Correspondingly, after publicly announcing the principle of "equality and common prosperity of the five races" many times, he has received support from a group of high-ranking moon elves. The crowned king of Ilyseer is becoming more and more influential within the organization.

As time goes by, it’s hard to say whether this organization belongs to King Ilisel, the Lord God, or him.

Thinking of the Lord God, Farrow made up his mind to find out the truth about the fate revealed by the oracle. Only in this way can he continue to control the organization so that the organization will not become a personal tool for the crown prince to achieve his ambitions.

In the process of achieving this goal, it is necessary to introduce more high mages from other countries. For now, the proportion of Ilfarang elves in the organization is too high.

In the past, Farrow wouldn't have minded this happening. But now, he is very concerned, very concerned, and wishes to immediately introduce more high-ranking mages other than Cormanthor to dilute the influence of the crowned king of Ilisel within the organization.

"Are you ready, Farro? All the materials for this ceremony are provided by the Tower of Domination. Don't forget King Mian's request!"

Perhaps it was because more colleagues had arrived, but when Jerrynis spoke to Farrow, he lost all his previous courtesy and became very arrogant and rude.

In this regard, Farrow could only pretend that he did not see it, but he became more determined in his heart to introduce more foreign high-level mages.

As for Mian Wang's request, compared to the huge material consumption and powerful detection effect of the Omniscient Ceremony, it is nothing at all.

All we need to do is to search for the possible instigator behind Hand Istar, the remnant of Uvilen, while exploring the fate revealed by the oracle.

This is nothing at all. In fact, all the high mages who are willing to participate in the omniscient ceremony, one by one, have their own detection needs. If there is no need, they will not be willing to participate!

After all, the ritual of omniscience is not free.

In addition to those magic circle materials that match the ritual, all ritual participants must contribute a certain degree of compatibility with the magic network. Compared with the former, the latter is valued more by high mages.
