Arcane Lord

However, Xia Duo does not deny that as long as the operation is correct, this is indeed a rare opportunity for Evereska to shine, and it is even possible for it to unite a number of small countries to form a sixth-party force comparable to the big countries!

Although this is not the result that Shado wants to see, for now, such a result is completely good news for Netheril.

Small countries are not without strength, but compared with large countries, it is difficult for them to continuously exert their strength. But if multiple small countries unite, they will have the capital to fight against big countries.

With the addition of such an alliance of small countries that may also be regarded as a threat in the eyes of Cormanthor, at least the pressure from Cormanthor on Netheril will be reduced a lot.

…

Sha Duo lamented in his heart that Everesca was not willing to settle for mediocrity and tried to embark on an unprecedented path of using small things to achieve great things. As for whether they could become the Sixth Pole of the North, Sha Duo could only say that he wished them success.

"Great Elder Ankalita, I will convey all your words to the Seven Towers. In addition, I believe that the Seven Towers have no reason to refuse the convenience in the management of the permanent portal that you mentioned."

"Then thank you Lord Xia Duo for your hard work."

After saying that, Ankarita waved his hand, and a stream of light flew in from outside the hall, and fell into his hand quickly and slowly, but it was a beautifully wrapped gift box.

He stood up and left his seat, walked all the way to Xia Duo, handed the gift box to Xia Duo, and said in an easy-going tone: "I hope Lord Xia Duo will accept it."

Xia Duo did not see the magical aura from the gift box. Although the possibility that the aura was deliberately hidden was not ruled out, for such a gift given in public, Xia Duo felt that there was a high probability that there was no need to hide the aura.

Even if I did give you a magic item, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Considering that there was a greater possibility of non-magical items among them, Xia Duo accepted the gift, but he didn't know whether the gift was considered as an apology from before or as a token of appreciation now.

"Thank you Great Elder Ankarita for the gift. If there are no other instructions, Shado will leave now."

"Lord Xia Duo, please excuse me."

After saying that, Ankarita looked at Larian next to Shado, handed over the scepter in his hand, and said: "Elder Larian, please send Lord Shado to me."

Larian bowed and replied, "Yes."

Shado noticed that the scepter was not just a symbol of power or envoy, but a certificate of authority for the Mystic Lock of Everesca.

However, in front of all the elves, it was not convenient for Shado to take out the secret lock authority certificate that Badigal had given him before for comparison and study.

…

When leaving Cloud Crown Palace, Shado and Larian still took the flying disc they came from, and set their destination to the teleportation hall where the Nese teleportation gate was located.

During the flight, Shado contacted Iolum and Badigal successively and gave a brief report of everything that happened here.

Iolum and Badigal also responded promptly.

At the same time, Larian also confirmed some details about tomorrow's visit, "Lord Shado, I will attend the Midsummer Celebration in Severton tomorrow at noon and before noon. I want to visit your territory in the afternoon. Is it convenient? ?”

"Conveniently, Daxia Leader welcomes Elder Larian at any time."

Xia Duo knew very well that Larian went to Daxia Territory to deal with the follow-up of arms procurement, and of course to make up for the negative effects of the sinister bet in the morning.

The content of the bet has been circulated, but it is obvious that Xia Duo is not going to send anyone, so only Larian, one of the parties involved, will go to the human territory on Midsummer Day.

Although this is still far from the way Sha Duo expected, it is probably the limit of what Larian can do, and Sha Duo is still happy to accept it.

…

Arriving at the portal, Sha Duo found that the other side, the Austrian Law Federation, was ready to start.

And here, Larian took the Great Elder's scepter and also unlocked the portal management program under special circumstances. After some not-so-easy operations, the portal erupted with a strong magical aura.

But it stabilized in a very short period of time and turned into a calm mirror, reflecting the scene at the Austrian Law Federation.

"Elder Larian, there is no need to send him off anymore, I'm leaving."

After saying that, Xia Duo added in a low voice, "Looking forward to meeting tomorrow!"

After that, he walked into the portal without looking back.

…

Offa Union, Iolum Study Room.

As expected, Badigal also came. When Sha Duo came in, he saw him chatting quietly with Iolum. Seeing Sha Duo's arrival, the two immediately stopped talking.

"Welcome our ambassador to return victorious!"

Badigal made no secret of his praise for Shado. After some business bragging, he asked about the details of the trip after being reminded by Iolum. Shado did not hide it and said:

"Evriska may be much more powerful than we thought! The eldest son of Elder Larian is now a high mage, and there are still many other high mage in their prime!"

Badigal was not surprised by Sha Duo's statement, "It's expected, after all, the elves live so much longer than us, and they can endure the time better than us!

"Did you find anything else?"

"Also, Elder Ankarita, as a golden elf, can still get strong support from other elders even when Cormanso becomes more and more domineering. This is not easy!"

Hearing this statement, Badiga suddenly frowned, "In the early years, Ankalita was indeed in power because of his identity as a golden elf. I have met him several times before. In my opinion, he is not that kind of person." A kind of elf who is obsessed with power."

"Then Mr. Badigal may have seen it wrong!"

Then, Xia Duo told what he had just seen in Yunguan Palace, focusing on the performance of the great elder Ankalita when he talked about some details of the visiting mission.

"The elder Ankalita seems to have taken a liking to the small countries in the alliance and is preparing to become the sixth pole of the North!"

"Is the change so big?" Badigal couldn't help but wonder.

“Perhaps it was performed for me, but it doesn’t stop ‘becoming the sixth pole of the North’ from becoming Everriska’s most promising future possibility!”

Under normal circumstances, Xia Duo would not just look at people's superficial attitudes, but would examine the motives behind them. Obviously, Everesca now has such an opportunity to develop and grow, and even get rid of the control of the five major powers.

It's hard for Xia Duo to believe that the other party won't be tempted.

To a certain extent, this is actually the result of Xia Duo's intentional or unintentional promotion, choosing this path for them, even if they don't go, the situation will force them to go.

For Shador and Netheril, this is enough!
