Arcane Lord

Two days later, good news came from Severton. More than forty great arcanists finally reached an agreement on all the details of the new covenant. It seemed that all parties were willing to make concessions in order to have the new covenant signed as soon as possible, and the date was set. Midsummer's Day at the end of the month.

Among them, Xia Duo focused on "nothing can be done without legal authorization" for public power and "nothing can be done without prohibition by law" for private rights. Because of the participation of the three great arcanists of Tianshui, it was passed with a high vote almost without any setbacks. .

Facing the three great arcane masters of Sweetwater who had just come into contact with the blockade not long ago, any objections from the Seven Towers were untenable. The blockade not long ago was exactly an abuse of the power of the ruling public.

Even though many of the twenty-six great arcanists from the three sides of Sweetwater still agree with the Seven Towers, when it comes to this issue specifically, they do not want to experience a second blockade.

Moreover, the content that Niyadaixiado insists on is to increase the power of the Grand Arcanist. The only restriction is the Seven Towers, or only the governing power of the Seven Towers. Other powers are also enhanced and guaranteed.

Perhaps because of this, the Seven Towers finally agreed to add this part of the content to the new covenant.

In addition to this issue that Shado is most concerned about, there are also provisions related to future centralization. Many patches have been laid in advance under Niya's suggestion to ensure that the new power will not have too rigid boundaries and to minimize its influence. Possibility of abuse.

The last thing is about the content related to Erlan in the new covenant. Compared with the old covenant, all the content was deleted at Niya's strong request and the acquiescence of others.

As for other people's disagreements about the details of the new covenant, most of them are not issues of principle, but more about disputes of private interests. There are proposals on limiting public power and protecting private rights, and the three-faced Grand Arcanist of Sweetwater With the addition, the Grand Arcanist of the main plane maintained great restraint this time.

After all, the new covenant cannot deliberately target a certain person. It is mainly to ensure the common interests of all parties. Even if it suffers a slight temporary loss, it is much better than the covenant.

…

In the Tower of Time, Sha Duo also completed writing the spellcasting instructions for the communication mystery lock in the past two days.

When he handed this thick set of spellcasting instructions to Niya, who had returned from Severton, Niya's eyes suddenly widened, as if to say, "What do you mean by this!"

Xia Duo said very calmly:

"I am an injured person now. You will need to work hard to build the myth lock. Moreover, the process of becoming familiar with the spell-casting instructions is actually a process of understanding the design of the mystery lock. You won't refuse, right?"

After Xia Duo said this, Niya agreed coyly, and then continued to talk about how she negotiated the details of the new covenant in Severington, and finally asked:

"Aren't you going to go to the signing of the new covenant on Midsummer Day?"

"We still have to go to this. It would be a pity to miss such a rare historical moment. We will go there together when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Niya immediately started teasing, "Midsummer Festival is only two days away, aren't you going to recuperate?"

"It doesn't matter if others don't know. You know it and you still say that. I'm so sad!" Xia Duo pretended to be exaggerated, and then explained seriously, "This is also part of the plan."

The appearance of the body can also give a clear reply to those who want to know his true status. He is really injured, not fake.

Shado understood that even within Netheril, there were people who had doubts about his current true state, not so much about the assassination itself, but about the condition of his injuries.

When Niya was in Severton, she used his "injury" to gain a lot of advantages in negotiating the details of the new covenant. In this case, others would indeed respect the victim, but it was reasonable to be suspicious.

…

"By the way, will this year's Midsummer New Year Recruitment continue?" Niya asked suddenly.

Seeing Niya's serious expression, Xia Duo immediately understood what she wanted to say, and then gave an affirmative answer, "The introduction of new things in midsummer must not stop, let alone how much the sudden interruption of the tradition that has lasted for many years will have on the people's hearts. The impact of the suspension itself is also very detrimental to the popularity of magic in the Southern Territory.

"I understand that you want to introduce new citizens from the three dimensions of Tianshui, but that is unplanned in itself and does not affect our original plan. We cannot stop the spread of magic within the company just because a group of new citizens suddenly appear. process.

"In addition, after many selections in the territory, the number of young people of suitable age has basically stabilized. This time there will not be many more new recruits than this year's Rongxue new recruits."

Niya understood Sha Duo's explanation, but in fact she still had doubts or worries about why she asked this question. That was because with the rapid expansion of the Tower of Time, she always felt a little powerless.

This feeling did not mean that the Tower of Time suddenly became so powerful that she was unable to master it, but that the expansion speed beyond her cognition made her feel a little confused about the future, and even a little afraid.

Sha Duo saw the worry in Nia's eyes. He gently took Nia's hand and put it on his lap. His big hand covered the small hand. Nia's uneasy mood stabilized a lot. Then Sha Duo continued:

“It is not easy to be a pioneer in any field, especially pioneering the future. There is no ready-made road ahead. Every step forward requires us to walk there in person.

"Although I have some experience from my hometown, there is no guarantee that those experiences will be used here. Pioneers need to be cautious, but they also need fearless faith. If you don't believe in yourself, how can you let others believe in your pioneering work?" What about this new way out?"

The attempt to magnify the southern territory into the development trend of the entire era is actually not that outstanding. Although such a change of perspective makes the pioneers even smaller, Niya's heart calms down.

As a young and accomplished Grand Arcanist, Niya naturally had her own beliefs and expectations, but Sha Duo's ideas convinced her and made her willing to fight for Sha Duo's ideals.

Now being reminded by Xia Duo that she has become a pioneer in the new era, an unprecedented sense of responsibility as a pioneer of history has surged into Niya's heart, making her no longer worried about the confusion in front of her, let alone going beyond her cognition. Fear of a future that is beyond our control.

"Xia Duo, I feel like I have grown up now!" Niya leaned her head on Sha Duo and murmured.

"Yeah, I think so too."

Niya spent almost all her time in the Tower of Time before, and even if she occasionally went out to come into contact with people or things, she was very limited. During this trip to Severnton, she personally participated in the top-level design discussion of Netheril, which really showed her growth. A lot.

Xia Duo was sincerely happy for Niya's growth.
