Arcane Lord

In those broken scenes, Xia Duo saw a large number of floating cities made from mountain peaks fighting. The sky turned dark red and the earth became fragmented.

It's just that these pictures are so incomplete that it's hard to tell whether the battle is taking place between floating cities or with other enemies.

Or to be more precise, Sha Duo did not see a single intelligent creature, whether human or elven, in those broken pictures, and there were only a large number of messy and mutilated scenes of tragic battles.

Perhaps through careful analysis, we can draw more specific conclusions from the use of spells on the battlefield, some characteristics retained in the broken earth, and other details that can be unearthed.

But this is a possibility in the future, and it does not mean that it will definitely happen. Especially if Xia Duo knows about it, it will be even harder to happen.

Shado is more concerned about the floating city made from the peaks. If nothing else, it should be the work of Netheril. What he really wants to predict is not a certain war in the future, but the impact of the Seven Towers on sustainable development. manner.

The deviation is so huge, but it also illustrates one problem, that is, this proposal may not be as smooth as he imagined when returning votes.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be a floating city with an inverted mountain peak format. Instead, it would be all kinds of things with no specific shape. This shows that in the future represented by these pictures, Netheril is intercepting a large number of mountain peaks.

Of course, it is also possible that those mountains are man-made. After all, everything is possible in the future. If Xia Duo is willing, he can even deliberately shape that kind of future.

This is the regrettable thing about prophecy. No matter how accurate your prediction is, the real future has changed quietly the moment you know the prophecy.

Xia Duo's view is that no matter how gratifying or hateful the result of the prophecy is, it can only be used as a reference and should not be taken for granted, otherwise you will fall into the trap of prophecy.

…

Next, Xia Duo rested for a while and made the next prediction without stopping, and then made many predictions until the wire reached the casting alert and stopped.

A total of seven predictions were made before and after. Although the goal of the predictions was to understand the attitude of the Seven Towers towards sustainable development, it was similar to the first time. Most of the predictions obtained in the subsequent times were not directly related to the goal.

He needs to conduct a secondary analysis from the broken picture.

For example, for the second prophecy, the prophecy picture he got was similar to a top view, and the time was extremely short. The only thing he could analyze was that the development progress of Netheril was gratifying, and it was difficult to know anything else.

In addition, war scenes were not only present in the first prophecy, but also appeared later, but no specific humans or elves appeared. However, through specific scene analysis, it can be judged that it should be a civil war in the Northland Alliance.

The only scene where humans appeared was the last prophecy. Sha Duo saw Yin Olem talking to Badigal, and there seemed to be a dispute, with both sides refusing to give in.

And this also made Xia Duo understand that the prophecy picture might not even have sound, just pictures. Some pictures were dynamic, and some were still static.

It can be seen that the subject of prophecy is indeed broad and profound. There is a special prophecy analysis major in the Red Heart Alliance University, but prophecy itself is an unpopular field, and there are even fewer people who study prophecy analysis.

In fact, this also has an ideological impact. The members of the Red Heart Alliance have extremely firm beliefs about how the future will develop, and they are more willing to use their own hands to change the future, rather than placing their hope in prophecy.

In addition, Xia Duo didn't like those magical analyses, so when he was in the Red Heart Alliance, he only had a general understanding of it, and more importantly, he wanted to understand the principles of learning prophecy spells.

In the last prophecy just now, although there was no sound, there were dynamic images of characters talking and arguing. You can completely understand what happened through lip reading.

Of course Shado himself can't read lips, but he knows who can, and they are all among his own people. One is his follower, the high-level wanderer Ava, and the other is the high-level official of the Ministry of Culture and Education in his territory. Lawrence the Bard.

The former is traveling in the mainland of Netheril at the moment, and of course he has accepted Shado's mission to inspect the situation in various places; while the latter has finished his exchange and study in Akora, and only needs some finishing work before he can return to Netheril.

And those finishing tasks are actually all kinds of entertainment, banquets, exchange meetings and the like.

Shado decided to recall Lawrence in advance to interpret the lip information in the prophecy screen for him. As for Ava, he just let him continue traveling.

…

the next day.

Yin Orum has not come back from the Seven Towers yet. Knowing that Yin Olem and Badigal are arguing in the prophecy scene, Shado is sure that Yin Olem in reality will definitely fight with Badigal. Dispute.

But at least it can be judged that Yin Orem's trip is not going well.

Near noon, Yin Oulem returned to the Offen Law Federation. Sha Duo received the news immediately. When he came to Yin Oulem's study, he saw a tired Yin Oulem. This made his heart sink.

"Teacher, the Seven Towers don't agree?"

"No, they agreed, but the process was not smooth, and I feel that they may repeat it again." Yin Olem rubbed his eyebrows, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

"How specifically?" Xia Duo asked again.

"Except for Randall, no one is easy to talk to, especially Skum. I didn't even meet him in person. I spent most of the time discussing with Badigal."

As he spoke, Yin Orem further explained, "They have made several demands that I think you may not agree to. For example, even if sustainable development is implemented, the past cannot be recalled. The Seven Towers need to retain New Severn." The main body of Dayton is at least a hundred years old.

"Even if I proposed trading with Floating City, it would be difficult for them to let go. I never thought that maybe your previous performance was too conservative. They are very confident in New Severington and don't want to simply trade.

"But they also proposed a plan, which is to exchange the main body of New Severington for your mysterious lock of Chang'an City. I definitely can't agree to this."

Just from what Yin Olem said, Sha Duo could see how difficult the negotiation was. The conflicts between the two parties were almost impossible to reconcile, which made him curious. How did Yin Olem convince them in the end? ?

"Teacher, since the deal couldn't even work, how did they finally agree?"

"Randall proposed a compromise plan, which allows us to agree to the sustainable development proposal, and put the rest on hold for the time being. Moreover, this proposal also requires you to give a detailed explanation and give it to them before convening a joint meeting of the Grand Arcanists."

"Can this be called consent?"

Xia Duo was surprised at first, but then he understood that it was good to be able to negotiate like this. The Seven Towers underestimated the value of the adaptive mystery lock and overestimated their own background.

There is a large information gap between the two parties, and it is most difficult to reach an agreement in this case.
