Arcane Lord

From this book, Shado saw the sincerity of the Seven Towers, but he also saw the ambition. He could already guess what Netheril would be like after the new covenant was established.

It is mostly just a battle between centralization and independence. Although the new covenant also clarified the independent status of the territory, with the development of the times, the country as a whole does have a lot of power that needs to be returned to the central government.

For example, unified commercial taxation, the current situation where lords in various places do their own thing is very detrimental to the development of business. Business is actually the economy. If the economy is not good, it will be difficult to develop in other aspects.

Another example is the standing army that Shado had been concerned about before. The war mobilization capabilities of other countries in the Northern Alliance are constantly improving. Netheril will not start recruiting until war is coming, right?

Of course, for now, the so-called combat effectiveness largely refers to the high-level spellcasters themselves, but Sha Duo has experienced the training in the projection plane of the Red Heart Alliance, and he is very clear about the difference between the standing army and the temporarily recruited spellcasters. .

Let's not talk about weapons and equipment. In terms of fighting will alone, it is impossible for temporary soldiers to be as good as full-time soldiers who have been trained for a long time and have long been aware of fighting.

Anyone can fight with a favorable wind, but once there is a slight headwind, temporary recruits who lack the will to fight may become a fatal weakness.

Therefore, in Shado's vision, even in the magical world, a standing army ready to go to war at any time is indispensable, and the sooner the spellcasters' combat and research responsibilities are separated, the better.

Those who are good at fighting and those who hate fighting should be allowed to fight full-time; those who are good at research should be allowed to study full-time.

Letting professional people do professional things is what Mr. Xia has always advocated and advocated.

At this time, when she heard Mr. Xia's clear statement on the division of power between the First Tower and the lord's power, Jenna was stunned for a few seconds before she subconsciously said:

If those problems were delayed and explained properly, even if they were postponed to the Junior Arcanist Joint Meeting, there would be no improvement.

"That--"

"As for the lord, as long as it is an act that is explicitly prohibited by a vote of parliament, it should be regarded as the abnormal scope of the lord's rights."

After thinking for a while, Xia Shaohe took down the one-tower plan manual on his watch and handed it back to Jenna. Jenna was stunned and asked cautiously:

Specific to the lord-territory, in reality, the same set of logic cannot be applied to limit the power of the lord. However, one of the principles of the caster's covenant is not the independence of the territory, and the content rarely involves the internal affairs of the territory.

…

"How to solve the problem of Young Lord Yixia?" Jenna asked directly.

The reason why Mr. Xia said that was naturally not to push public power out of the cage as much as possible and allow private rights to be extended. Of course, that was from the parliament-lord level.

"Yes, you think it's bad, but some of the terms are still debatable."

However, it is possible for Yita to see the centralization reform that the elven countries of the Northland Alliance have completed long ago. Once he sees it, it is naturally difficult to think of the key areas where the masters must centralize power in the future.

At this time, after being reminded by Shao Xia, Jenna re-examined herself and even the relationship between Nese Cui Gui and Yita. Indeed, as Shao Xia said, Yita is the ruler and the master.

In Jenna's perception, the power is so limited and requires complete authorization from the other party. It is really not the same role as a housekeeper or a servant. Although she is not surprised by Mr. Xia's bold proposal, but for some reason, Jenna Subconsciously, I felt that maybe it should be like that.

The rational source of One Tower's ruling laws came from the original Spellcaster Covenant, but at this time, Netheril only had one town of power, and the people who came to respect the Netherese family as kings were only rulers in name.

Although Yita's ruling status has been confirmed by the old caster covenant, there has never been any saying that we naturally have the legal principles to govern.

"Speak frankly in front of President Jenna. The boundaries between the ruling power and the power of the lords in the New Covenant are not clear. It seems to list the rights and obligations, but there is a small amount of Mohu zone in between. "

…

When Mr. Xia said that, Jenna also realized that she had just stood in the position of Yita. You are willing to come over and be a middleman just because Mingshui Chamber of Commerce and Yita have no wrong business dealings, and such behavior is What kind of bad impact will it have on the relationship between you and Mr. Xia?

In the Yita plan manual provided by Jenna, there are almost many references to areas that require centralization in the future. Perhaps it cannot be said that Yita has not thought of these.

"According to you, for the Speaker of the Caster Parliament, the typical representative of Yi Tower's ruling power, and the various permanent agencies under the Parliament, any act that is not approved by the vote of the Parliament needs to be regarded as our covenant.

Master Xia also intends to design a system for Netheril that is universally fair and benefits everyone. That is a reality. And once the system is too perfect, how will my Little Xia collar and Little Xia order win over?

Then you are willing to come over and be the middleman, but it is because you are a subordinate of Yita.

The caster's covenant is not a matter of principle. Mr. Xia has objections to the terms of the caster's covenant. Naturally, I have principles for the one-tower plan.

"Is that true? If so, what does President Jenna think the role of the First Tower should be? Is there a defensible ruler in Netheril? A master who holds a chain over your head?"

Not to mention the transfer of royal power, the Cui Guihao Council is the legitimate ruler of that country, and Yita is just an alliance of lords that inherits the name of the original town.

If Yita must have sent someone directly, it is of course possible to ask, has Yita seemed too capable for a long time? But Jenna has it all. You just need to understand Mr. Xia’s true thoughts and convey them to Yita.

In fact, it is not the "law can be done if authorized by the law" for Yi Tower, and "can be done if the law prohibits it" for the lords. The other "law" is certainly not the lowest authority of Nese Cui Gui - the Spellcaster Council. .

…

"In that case, will Yita become no one's steward or servant?"

To put it bluntly, the interests of the Spellcaster Council and the interests of the Nese lords are not completely consistent, and the difference between the interests of the Nese people is even smaller.

At this point, it is difficult to say that it was deliberately buried.

Because once a tower is allowed to pass the current level, fully integrate Netheril, and master the name of Xiaoyi, it will actually be similar to the ancient vassal reduction in Shao Xia's hometown. As long as you think about it, you can always think of the future. The following is a legitimate excuse.

"Lord Xia, are you satisfied with the plan below?"

Jenna looked at the unread manual that was still under the table, and after a moment of determination, she still said: "Young Lord Xia has no objections to which clauses, so why don't you tell me clearly? I will tell them to the First Tower, and I will definitely be able to get them in the future." Resolving some principled issues after formal consultations will not help slow down my recent chaos."

At this time, Nese Cui Gui is about to usher in a new spellcaster covenant. In order to ensure the smooth integration and transition of power, it is not necessary to maintain the ruling position for a day, but is it natural to make corresponding restrictions?
