Arcane Lord

"What plan do you think is special?" Xia Duo continued to ask.

He knew that what made Yin Aolum say "special" was actually more than just "special", and it would definitely have a great impact on the current situation.

"The Seventh Tower proposed to merge the Great Archmage Joint Conference and even the Union of Arcane Law into the Seventon Council." Yin Aolum said slowly.

This seemingly plain remark aroused great waves in Xia Duo's heart. Integrating the Union of Arcane Law and the Seventon Council was actually one of the follow-up operations that he and Yin Aolum had discussed before.

After the Seventon Covenant was renewed, after all, the current dual structure with unclear rights and responsibilities could easily leave hidden dangers for the future, and change was inevitable.

It was just that he didn't expect that the Seventh Tower would be the first to propose it, and it was at this time point, but after careful consideration, this was also reasonable. The Seventh Tower had a chance to break through here.

The Seventh Tower was not stupid. Did it have to follow the route designed by him and Yin Aolum completely? If that was the case, there would be no current tug-of-war.

"What are their conditions?"

Since the Seven Towers have made such an outrageous request, they will definitely give extremely relaxed conditions, at least on the surface.

In response, Yin Aolum said, "In response to the new Seventon Council plan they proposed, the condition they gave was to completely open up the three sub-planes. Not just open them, but transform them into free territories."

"Free territories? What new concept is this?"

"It's actually another way of saying no man's land. The three sub-planes have actually been developed and mature, and there is no real no man's land. But the Seven Towers decided to give up some of the land. After deducting the land of the outstanding pioneers over the past hundreds of years and the land of the free people who gave up their land and returned to the main plane to develop, there will be a part left to give to the main plane. lords. "

"But what's the point? Do the Seven Towers expect to use part of the land of these three sub-planes to deal with those lords and archmages who actually want to make the Seven Towers fall from their ruling position?"

"This is just a part."

Yin Aolum sighed lightly, "Don't you want to hear how the Seven Towers want to merge the Union of Arcane Mages into the Seventon Council?"

When Yin Aolum mentioned this, Shaduo immediately reacted. Before, he and Yin Aolum discussed the re-establishment of the Seventon Covenant. The so-called cancellation of the Seven Towers' ruling status actually means merging the Joint Conference of Archmages into the Seventon Council.

As for the Union of Arcane Mages, it will exist as a subordinate institution of the Seventon Council.

But whoever brings this up first can win over those archmages with it, as long as they can see the actual increase in power. As for what the proposer gets in the process, it is not the key.

Because as long as there is a first time, there will be a second, third, and even more, and sooner or later it will move towards the situation of the Republic of Advanced Spellcasters.

"Teacher, how will the Seven Towers establish the new Seventon Council?" Shado had actually guessed it in his heart. The so-called new Seventon Council is actually the new Seventon Covenant System. The only difference is who is in charge.

Shado and Yin Aolum's plan is not to grant anyone privileges. They only need to add an executive agency to pave the way for future changes. The major events are still discussed by the archmages, but it is more legitimate.

The Seven Towers' plan will probably not be too extreme. It is a bottom line to let the archmages officially include seats in the Seventon Council, but they will definitely ask to retain the Seven Towers' ruling status. Even if it is only in name, it is enough for them to maintain enough dignity and practical interests.

This is not unacceptable to other archmages. After all, the Seven Towers have been in power for a long time in the past, and the benefits obtained through this are limited, not to mention that the archmages have obtained seats in the Seventon Council.

Yin Aolum's answer was exactly in line with what Shado had guessed. The Seven Towers really wanted to retain their ruling status, and there was a key point -

On the surface, the ruling status that the Seven Towers wanted was only reflected in the position of Speaker. In other aspects, Yin Aolum's description did not show any privileges.

The Seven Towers would decide who would be the Speaker internally, and the rest would sit in ordinary seats like other archmages, and their voting rights would not be special.

It can be said that, at least in the eyes of most people, the Seven Towers have made concessions to the extreme.

Considering that the archmages of the sub-plane were largely cultivated by the Seven Towers, although there was a little misunderstanding now, as long as this knot was untied, even if they became independent, there would still be a sense of incense.

But in return, the Seven Towers completely unified the entire Netheril in terms of legal theory, unlike in the past, when issues involving archmages had to be discussed at the joint meeting of archmages even if they were passed by the Seventon Council.

Regardless of whether the latter discussion supports the previous decision or not, it will cause an impact on the current system. If the Great Arcanist Joint Conference is merged into the Seventon Council, everything will be justified.

Through such operations, the Seven Towers have become a truly transcendent force in Netheril. As long as the neutral attitude of the arbitrator is maintained, the prestige will continue to accumulate and no one can shake it.

This is similar to the classical feudal kingdom on Earth. As long as the king does not mess around, all lords will consciously maintain this order. Unless the challengers of later generations can overturn the entire system, they can only obey the existing order.

Not to mention that in Netheril, the lords are more independent, and even Shado himself is more inclined to maintain this system rather than the other way around.

As for whether the Seven Towers will deviate from neutrality, instead of worrying about this, it is better to worry about whether ambitious elements among the lords or grand arcanists will provoke a civil war for the ruling position.

…

After understanding the core content of the seven-tower plan, Xia Duo had a hunch that the negotiations in Severington might soon end. In fact, compared to the changes in the political system, the ownership and arrangement of the three sub-dimensions were simply too much. Insignificant.

Although those three sub-dimensionalities were the fuse, the fire has been ignited for a long time now. It doesn't matter what the reason is. The next distribution of power in the new system is the key.

"What do you think now?" This is what Yin Olem asked Xia Duo before ending the communication.

Xia Duo understood that the reason why Yin Orum asked this was actually because Yin Olem himself was already more inclined to agree with the Seven Towers plan. If he insists on canceling the Seven Towers' ruling status, compared to the current situation, it may do more harm than good. profit.

Xia Duo was very open-minded about this. He had never made things difficult for the Seven Towers in order to gain a ruling position, although in his plan Yin Orem would become the first speaker of the New Severington Parliament.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, so it's not unacceptable to do this now. Yin Olem himself agreed!

And his purpose from the beginning was to help Puman, connect the three secondary planes with the main plane, and lead the trend to ask the Seven Towers to hand over the intercepted peaks for sustainable development.

And now, his goal seems to have been achieved!

Those three secondary planes are connected to the main plane. Although the Seven Towers requested that it be done in their name, no matter whose name it was done in, the matter was considered accomplished. Correspondingly, Puman's request was also fulfilled.

As for the sustainable development initiative and the return of the intercepted peaks, Seven Towers has also explained this. This is actually one of the main reasons why Yin Orem contacted him today——

Seven Towers will also put forward sustainable development initiatives in its own name and lead by example in returning the mountain that has become the base of the new Severnton.

Although the process seems a bit unpleasant, Xia Duo is an adult and naturally understands that the current situation can be regarded as the best ending.

All parties compromised, and each party got what they wanted.

As for how the situation will develop in the future, let time tell!
