Arcane Lord

So, should Comanso, who inherited all the territory and people of Jelenstad, also inherit this alliance of never betraying?

But the fact is exactly the opposite. The establishment of Cormanso involves the merger of multiple forces and cannot be completed overnight.

Long before the final trial of the Divine Sword, King Jelensta revealed the idea of ​​​​merging to King Akora, but was rejected by King Akora at that time. The real reason why Akora closed the country in seclusion. this.

After the Divine Sword Trial, King Ilisel rose to power. Even his predecessor (the last King of Jelenstar) didn't care about the so-called never betraying the covenant. How could he admit it himself?

But no matter how much you deny something like a covenant in private, you will never ignore it openly, otherwise it will be too ugly.

In the past, if Cormanthor had any unreasonable demands or conspiracies, Akora would always point to the [Never Betrayal Alliance] as an excuse. This time, he specifically allowed Cormanthor's envoy to pass there, perhaps just to clarify his intentions once again.

And this time, with Chateau here, it’s hard to say whether it will irritate Cormanso!

…

Soon, Prince Foss returned to the Hanging Garden with the Cormanso envoys. There were three envoys in total, and Shado already knew their identities in advance.

One is the special envoy of the Cormanthor Crown King, the other is the priest of the main elf god, and the last one is the sword guard mage.

The first two are easy to understand. The so-called sword-guarding mages are not necessarily supporters of the current crown king of Cormanthor. They support the divine sword trial system.

It's because Divine Sword chose Mian Wang that they will not oppose the selected Mian Wang. As for whether they support him, it depends on Mian Wang's subsequent actions.

Or to put it another way, they are actually the common will of the Cormanthor ruling class, at least until the collapse of the Excalibur Trial system.

As a human being, Xia Duo was naturally very conspicuous among a group of elves. The three Cormanzo envoys noticed Xia Duo as soon as they arrived.

Of course, Xia Duo also looked at them without fear. Among them, the elf priest had a normal expression, and the sword mage just glanced at them without any special action.

Only the special envoy of King Mian looked like he wanted to eat someone, with all his dissatisfaction and resentment written in his eyes.

Then, without waiting for King Akaola to speak first, the special envoy of Comanso couldn't wait to ask: "I wonder how King Kelsek has considered my king's proposal?"

Perhaps it was because he was accustomed to being arrogant, or maybe he just wanted to force Akora to be crowned king. In short, the rude behavior of this messenger really angered the Akora elves present.

Not to mention that most of the people present were high-ranking mages from the advisory group, so naturally they would not give him a good look. One of them, Sha Duo, an ancient etiquette consultant who had been quite friendly before, immediately reprimanded:

"Did King Elisir ask you to be so rude? Then is there any sincerity in his so-called proposal? Go back and forth from where you came!"

The compatibility between the high mage and the magic network has reached a level that is difficult for ordinary spellcasters to match. With the scolding of the etiquette consultant, the magic network in the courtyard automatically transformed, creating a depressing spiritual field.

When the Comanso envoy saw this, he mumbled and was speechless for a long time. He could only look at the other two envoys who came with him for help.

The sword-guarding mage didn't react at all, as if the person being oppressed at this time was not his companion at all, while the other priest frowned: "That's enough!"

Hearing the main priest's words, the ancient etiquette advisor of King Akaola snorted coldly, but also put away the invisible field of oppression.

At this time, the Comanso envoy seemed to have recovered from the suffocation, gasping for air, and then put away his previous crazy attitude and said honestly, "Sorry, it's me. Lost your temper."

Immediately afterwards, the envoy acted as if what just happened had never happened and continued to ask questions, but his tone was much better than before:

"King Kelsikemian, do you have any other opinions on my king's proposal?"

"I answered it last time. Maybe the messenger didn't hear it clearly last time. So this time, I'll answer it again. Akora has the tradition of Akora. We just want to live in the only remaining Akora forest. Go down, King Ilisel’s proposal is good, but it is not suitable for Akora. Please apologize to him on my behalf.”

When the Cormanso envoy heard this, he became a little anxious again. He subconsciously pointed at Sha Duo and said, "Is it because of him? King Kelsike, you actually turned to humans?"

cough--

Sha Duo knew it was his turn to say, "Messenger Max, please pay attention to your demeanor and don't lose the face of King Irisel. I can answer your questions!"

"It's really because of you!"

There was resentment in the eyes of the Cormanthor envoy, but as if he had thought of something, he asked tentatively, "Are you from Netheril, or the south?"

"I'm from Netheril!"

"Hmph, you're just a humble servant, what qualifications do you have to be on the same page as me!"

"Haha, it's not up to you to decide whether you have this or not. It's only been a while, have you forgotten the lesson just now?"

Xia Duo stared at the opponent, and projected the shocking effect of the psychic spell into the opponent's eyes with his eyes as the source. Although the effect was not as oppressive as the large-scale response of the magic network, it could remind the opponent that he was not that easy to mess with.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is on an important occasion in another country. It is impossible for Xia Duo to cast spells without any scruples. Otherwise, wouldn't he be just another rude envoy of Max?

However, Xia Duo is still a human being after all. Even with the real effectiveness of the deterrent, the Cormanso envoy remained unmoved and continued to propose to the Crown Prince of Akora:

"Humans should not be involved in the internal affairs of the elves. Please also ask King Kelsike to expel this Netherese!"

"hehe!"

This time it was Asbylan who took action, and immediately expelled the Cormanthor envoy from the courtyard. But this time, the elf priest did not speak for him anymore.

The subsequent negotiations were conducted by the sword-guarding mage, "It was indeed out of consideration for King Irisel to send this jester here.

"But his proposal for the unification of Listal Forest was unanimously approved by the Sword Guard Mage. Today, I am here to represent the Sword Guard Mage to make a promise to King Kelsek. After the merger, any Akorazi The people can participate in the Divine Sword Trial without any restrictions, and the next Sword of Dominance Trial will start with the people of Akora first!"

At the end, the elf priest added, "My lord witnesses!"

Although Xia Duo still doesn't know the specific conditions Comanso has given to Akola's upper management, judging from the conditions already known, Comanso is not without sincerity.

Just the priority of the Excalibur Trial may make the next generation of Excalibur holders all come from Akora. After all, the Excalibur Trial is not a scoring game, but first-passed, first-served.

But the problem is that being able to pass the trial means that one agrees with and is suitable for the unified concept put forward by Cormanthor at the beginning of its establishment, and is already considered a petitioner of the order "Cormanthor".

Perhaps it would be beneficial to the long-term development of all the elves in Listal Forest, but for the upper levels of Akora, it might not be of much benefit.
