Arcane Lord

Although the Lord of Radiance may become a solid backing for the main plane or Netheril, Shado is still very wary of the Illuminati.

After sending away the God Envoy Ted, Shado was no longer prepared to meet with representatives from various countries. He just told Brundes about the reminder from Pasetia and asked him to notify the Northland Alliance to send people here to guard the Holy Seal. .

Of course, the Holy Seal itself has powerful power, and may be able to directly contact Parsetia, but it is only for the sake of safety that it is left to mortals to take care of it.

It won't take long. As long as nothing unexpected happens in the next six months, the hidden dangers in the abyss here will be completely resolved.

…

Back in the Floating City, Sha Duo was thinking that he could finally go home, but he didn't expect to receive Badigal's invitation to meet again. Sha Duo couldn't help but sigh:

"You really don't have a moment to spare!"

The pass key to the floating city teleportation circle was sent to Badigal. After a while, Sha Duo saw him in Hengchun Square.

As soon as they met, Badigal opened his heart and told the current difficulties of the Seven Towers: "The Sluvende War ended too abruptly, and the Seven Towers were not fully ready for Master Yerevan's ascension ceremony.

"Before, the situation in Sluvende was tense. All countries focused on the war and did not pay much attention to Netheril's actions. But as the war ends, countries will inevitably pay attention to Netheril again."

"Then what Mr. Badigal means is——"

In fact, Xia Duo had already guessed Badigal's intention, but there was still a big difference between him saying such a thing himself and Badigal saying it.

And Badigal could also see that Xia Duo had guessed his purpose of coming, but wasn't the reason why he came just to tell it personally? Otherwise, why bother coming here in person!

So he stopped beating around the bush and put forward his needs:

"Although the various countries have not raised any objections at the moment, the ascension to God is a relatively sensitive matter after all. When the ceremony begins, no one can predict what the attitudes of various countries will be. So I would like to ask Lord Shado to publicly support the ascension of Master Yerevan. god."

Shado used to support Yerevan's ascension to the gods, but his support at that time was more inclined to "not opposing". If he wants to support it publicly now, the score cannot be settled as before.

In addition, publicly supporting Master Yerevan's ascension to God also means that Seven Towers is preparing to make the plan to ascend to God public, letting the outside world and even the people of Nese know the inside story.

Is this really good?

Shado told Badigal his doubts, and his explanation was——

"With the precedent of the princess, it will not be difficult for the people to accept the ascension of mortals to gods, but will be more willing to support it. In addition, making the ascension to gods public is also to avoid future competition for god ascension from going beyond the limits and causing unnecessary losses."

Badigal's answer was almost without thinking. It was obvious that this was not a temporary decision, but a more careful consideration before coming. If nothing else, it should have been discussed and approved within the Seven Towers.

Shado thought about it carefully and believed that the disclosure of the inner story of God Ascension would indeed help orderly competition within Netheril, but it would also make it easier to form the so-called "God Ascension Order" - that is, the "prototype of the God System."

This may be a good thing for the current high-ranking spellcasters, but it may not be a good thing for the future of Netheril or even the entire main plane.

Once a god system is formed, it will almost certainly inhibit the development of magical civilization.

Because this is a "mutated" god, not a "god-level existence" naturally occurring within civilization.

Although Xia Duo is now considered a vested interest, and if he wants, he can occupy a "god position" with great potential in advance, but his ideal is not to become a god, but to explore the limits of nature and civilization.

Becoming a god may become an intermediate step in the process of realizing his ideal, but if it is not suitable, he will not create obvious difficulties for the larger goal in order to achieve this intermediate step.

What I am talking about is that at present, the great arcane masters of Netheril, headed by the Seven Towers, may have reached a subjective consensus on establishing the "God Ascension Order". Shado did not directly or publicly oppose it due to the needs of his own development, but he wanted to Ask him to support it, and all he can say is that he can't do it.

And he also tried to persuade Badigal: "Revealing the inside story of God's ascension may be suspected of blasphemy. If the gods are angry about this, I am afraid that it is not something that a mere Netheril can bear."

This is also a very real problem, but Sha Duo is very pessimistic that if Badigal can openly talk to him about the issue of making God Ascension public, he may have already considered this issue.

Perhaps even through the princess, the pioneer of ascension, some definite guarantees were obtained that were conducive to making the ascension public.

Such speculation made Shado feel even more dissatisfied with the current and future environment of Netheril, and this also strengthened his determination to carry out "civilized seizure".

Sure enough, in response to Shado's attempted persuasion, Badigal almost immediately gave a rather ambiguous but meaningful answer: "The gods will not be angry over such trivial matters!"

So Sha Duo could only throw out Yin Orem as a shield, "Personally, I support Master Yerevan's ascension to God, but I must consider the identity of the teacher. Public support is really against the principle of neutrality. This Please don’t mention this matter again.”

Xia Duo knew very well that if there was no floating city, even if he was a student of Yin Olum, the other party would probably not come to him in person to ask him to publicly support the Ascension of the Gods (the Ascension of the Gods in Yerevan has been regarded as the order of the Ascension of the Gods after the game between the parties) materialized).

But who makes Floating City perform so well recently? Shado even thought about whether Brundes had just summoned the divine envoy from him, and then reported the situation of the divine envoy summoning the divine envoy again.

Maybe the Seven Towers still have the idea of ​​letting him summon the divine envoy and then use the Lord of Glory as an endorsement!

It's not that Xia Duo thinks too much, but the hearts of politicians are all black. Badigal, who has now succeeded the princess as the talker of the Seven Towers, is obviously not the Badigal that Xia Duo met during the snow melting competition.

…

Sha Duo refused very simply, leaving Badigal speechless with many of the words he had prepared. However, this result was still within his expectation.

"Since Lord Shado wants to practice Master Yin Orem's principle of neutrality, let's stop publicly supporting the ascension! But if various countries take actions against Netheril, I hope Lord Shado will not hesitate to help."

"You can have this."

Xia Duo did not refuse this time, but the availability of support is not the key, the key is whether it is timely.

In fact, Xia Duo hopes that the Northland Alliance will make another treaty restricting the ascension to gods. However, the elven countries may still want to watch another god ascension ceremony to determine the feasibility of mortals' ascension to gods.

"God's Coming"

If it is determined to be feasible, there will most likely be no institutional restrictions in the future, unless only Netheril or one party has an advantage.
