Arcane Lord

After thinking about it again and again, Xia Duo felt that the only possible variable that he could think of was Puman. Perhaps the external threat from the elves could also be regarded as a variable, but now that the Northland Alliance has become increasingly stable, this argument is obviously not convincing enough. force.

Moreover, this incident only involves three planes and will not completely expose the hidden strength of the Seven Towers. In addition, as the centralization reforms of the countries in the North continue to advance, pressure can be felt within Netheril.

If you don't want to learn from the elves, then you can only put more power on the table. Mythra War Spell Mobile Platform is one option, as is more population and more top spellcasters.

This is actually a bit similar to an arms race, but it is more inclined to healthy competition. Others have already started, and you have to keep up if you want to maintain your status as a great power.

It can be said that whether internally or externally, the return of those three planes is the general trend.

The only variable that has a chance to change all of this is Puman, because the source of this issue and recent events is Puman. As long as Puman says it is not a joke and he is joking, Seven Towers will stop him forcefully.

As long as they don't want a civil war to break out on the spot, other people's attitudes may not be so resolute. Even Xia Duo will feel embarrassed when he thinks of that possibility.

"Then just shut up Pullman."

As long as Puman does not appear, leaving aside whether the three planes will return, the Seven Towers have no reason to prevent the connection of the three planes in the first place, because in order to show that there is no need for the connection of the three planes, at least let the main plane Let's go over and take a look at the situation.

And as long as people from the main plane have passed, it is actually the same as being connected. Once those planes are connected, the people inside want to return, and the Seven Towers have no reason to refuse, because the true situation has been revealed. .

…

After that, Xia Duo continued to predict several times, but no scenes related to this issue appeared. After finishing the prediction, he hurried back to the Tower of Time before the afternoon meeting started.

After explaining the whole story to Puman, he invited him into the [Station Room] to stay for a few days. He didn't want to bet on whether Puman would jump back, and Puman didn't want to face that kind of difficult decision situation, so He voluntarily lived in the stasis room of the Tower of Time and came out after the incident settled.

…

Returning to Severton again, Shado told Yin Olelum that Pullman might not be there. Yin Oleum thought for a moment and agreed.

"If you don't come, don't come. It might be more troublesome without him, but it won't change the final result."

"Thank you for your understanding, teacher."

"Let's go to the venue, it's almost time."

"Um."

…

In the afternoon meeting, the number of participants changed a lot. Firstly, most of the outside observers were reduced, and secondly, there were also fewer directors of the Austrian and French Federation.

These Xiaduo are easy to understand. After all, the Arcane Federation also has normal work to do, and the directors are actually senior managers who handle these general affairs. As for the observers, it may be that the great arcanists do not want to be in front of too many irrelevant people. Let's argue later.

But what makes Xia Duo a little incomprehensible is that Horn, who had only gone to see him at noon, was absent in the afternoon!

He thought about it and didn't think that he had convinced Horn. He only thought that something might have happened to Kilan Tower and that Horn needed to deal with it personally.

Although Horn's absence did not change the Seven Towers' choice to fight against the general trend, it obviously had some visible effects on everyone in the venue.

The most obvious one was the rebuttal from the Seven Towers. The attitude of others became firmer and their voices became harsher. Correspondingly, the Seven Towers seemed to be somewhat powerless.

Skum even made a gaffe and said, "Who can prove that the descendants of the pioneers want to return to the main plane?" Who else needs to prove it? Just let the people present go over and take a look and you’ll know!

From the moment Skum made the mistake, the Seven Towers were completely at a disadvantage, and they were unable to save the situation even though they were struggling. This was much smoother than the heated debate that Shado had expected.

"No wonder the teacher said it's the same with or without Puman."

…

Soon, the meeting entered the third stage.

The first phase of the discussion was a procedural issue, that is, whether the issue of whether to accept the return of the alien pioneers to the main plane could be discussed at the Grand Arcanist Joint Meeting.

At this stage, Seven Towers could barely maintain the situation, but the problem had already been resolved from the moment Seven Towers arrived. Any further quibbles by Seven Towers would only be a waste of time.

In the second stage, this is the substantive discussion stage of the topic of this meeting, that is, whether to accept the return of the alien plane pioneers to the main plane.

This is divided into multiple small stages, from demonstrating the rationality and necessity of the return of the alien plane pioneers to confirming the acceptance of the alien plane pioneers' return.

At this stage, due to Horn's absence and Randall's silence, the Seven Towers' resistance almost failed.

After that comes the third stage, and this is the real home of the Seven Towers.

No matter how loud the moral slogans are, they still have to be implemented into specific operations, that is, how to receive the return of the alien pioneers.

There are too many problems here.

First of all, how to determine who wants to return is a big problem. Then there is the question of who will pay for the losses that the Seven Towers have invested in those planes over the past hundreds of years. If too many people are moved at once, .

The final issue is the placement of the main plane. This is actually the simplest. Anyway, the territory of Nese is vast and sparsely populated, and there are so many unowned lands. You can just find a place with good terrain and open it up.

"Later we will put forward an investigation plan to see how many people actually want to move back to the main plane. In addition, those planes still have important information and facilities of the Seven Towers. We will not consider opening the plane until the processing is completed. Connected.”

As Sha Duo thought, this stage is indeed the home of the Seven Towers. Skum easily proposed various delaying plans. If the planes are not connected and if people do not flow, then all the results discussed before will be lost. meaning.

After all, the Seven Towers have been running those planes for hundreds of years. They have too many reasons to find. In addition to the ones raised at the meeting now, even if the negotiations are temporarily settled, they can also find a temporary reason to "capture the important criminal" Continue to block the plane.

Although the discussions at this stage are more practical issues than before, the level of wrangling is far greater than before.

From the moment he saw Skum "quarreling with the scholars", Shado knew that this meeting would probably, maybe, should last for a long time.

This is the last dignity of the Seven Towers. It is unrealistic to take it away completely at once.

…

After the afternoon adjournment, Yin Olum called Shado, Cliff, Byron, Congenio and Badigal, and held a small meeting in private. This was the time for real bargaining.
