Arcane Lord

Tower of Time.

Xia Duo made preparations for the prophecy ceremony after Midsummer Festival. When he returned to the study on the top floor, he happened to meet Niya there. Xia Duo immediately understood something and hurriedly asked:

"Is there news from the Seven Towers?"

"Well, Seven Towers notified us to go to Severton. They said they were worried that something might happen to the ceremony tomorrow. They planned to sign the covenant today and then confirm the process for tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go there now!" Xia Duo said calmly.

The original arrangement for the Seven Towers was to sign a new covenant after the blessing ceremony at noon on Midsummer Festival. The plan changed temporarily, but it was not too surprising.

In fact, according to Xia Duo's idea, the contract should be signed directly when the terms of the new covenant are finalized. Even if there is a ceremony later, it can be done later. This does not affect the validity of the covenant itself.

…

Severington, Hall of Parliament.

Xia Duo and Niya arrived relatively early. It had been more than two years since he last came here. When Xia Duo saw the long relief murals on both sides of the hall, he really felt like he was in another world.

At that time, the princess had not yet ascended to the gods, and he was just an ordinary pioneer. It was in front of the altar at the end of this hall that the princess personally held a simple ceremony for him to transform a pioneer into a lord.

Apart from Niya, there are no other witnesses. Of course, if it is another pioneer, you only need to go to the agency under the Severington Council to apply for regularization. It is unlikely that the princess will do it in person.

Although he was an ordinary pioneer at that time, and some of his conditions were not even up to the standards of a pioneer, at that time he was one of the first pioneers in Netheril in the past century. This led to Princess attention.

Of course, there is also the reason for Savileland.

The mood of revisiting Shado was complicated. In just two years, the princess who was still introducing him to the development history of Netheril had successfully ascended to the gods, and he was no longer the little person he used to be, and became a Netheril. A very important person.

Although only two years have passed in the main plane, Xia Duo has experienced multiple projection planes and perceives that decades have passed.

Therefore, Niya didn't have too complicated emotions when she was revisiting the old place. She even took Xia Duo with her, who had opened up new buildings on both sides of the hall in the past two years.

The last time Shado came here, the Netheril expansion displayed in relief twice in the hall only progressed until Yin Orem wiped out the orc tribe. This time when he came here, he found three more paintings.

One of them is inserted in the front, showing the scene of the Nese ancestors pioneering the alien plane, and the corresponding one shows the scene of the descendants of the alien pioneers returning to the main plane.

These two pictures are not directly related to Chateau, but the third picture is different. It is a pioneering picture, showing multiple scenes, such as cutting down trees, building houses and fighting wild beasts, etc.

The center of this relief can be said to be the absolute C position. What is shown is exactly the scene of selective breeding and nursery first advocated by Xia Duo Territory.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the "Daxia Territory Standard Exploration Guide" written by Xia Duo to the princess in his early years. It recorded in detail all the details and precautions for territory development, including agricultural seed selection and seedling technology.

Later, the book was widely disseminated at the princess's initiative, which was also an important driving force for Xia Duo's bloodline to be awakened many times at that time.

Looking at the relief in front of him, Xia Duo always felt like witnessing history, and this could indeed be called history. A few years later, if a new lord came here, he might feel the same way.

And today, there may be a new relief in this pioneering hall!

…

In the history of the development of Netheril, the importance of the Seventon Covenant cannot be ignored. The reliefs on both sides of the development hall show scenes of the signing of three covenants.

The earliest one was the beginning of relief and Netheril, and the most recent one was hundreds of years ago.

The signing of these three covenants is certainly unknown in the history of Netheril, but they are only displayed here because of their important historical significance.

For example, the first covenant symbolizes the origin of Netheril. I don’t know if the second covenant scene is the first, but there are already elves in it, while in the third, there are no elves.

This new covenant is almost comparable to a mature constitution. Xia Duo feels that it is completely worthy of leaving a memorial here. Even if it cannot be left today, history will remember it in the future.

Just like the painting of Nese ancestors exploring foreign lands, wasn't it just added in?

…

Shado and Niya visited the reliefs and recalled the history of Netheril, and soon reached the end of the hall. There was an altar of unknown significance. There was a section in front of the altar, and outside there were more than ten rows with their backs to the door. bench.

Of course, based on the area of ​​this development hall, hundreds of rows of seats can be accommodated, not to mention a dozen rows of seats, but here there are only a dozen rows inside, and they are all empty outside.

There are only stone pillars that serve as support for the dome, and ribbons and flags hanging from the top of the dome.

It seems that this place can be used for some small but grand activities, but Sha Duo has almost never heard of it before. Even the last time he came here, the princess promoted him to lord status at the altar, but the real function of the altar was not used.

There were no other bystanders except Niya.

This time the Seven Towers announced that they were here to sign a new covenant, and there were actually no bystanders. When he and Niya came, only a few great arcanists from the Sweetwater Plane came.

One of them was visiting the relief, and the other two just sat on the bench and waited. After Xia Duo came over, he only nodded to the two of them and did not do anything else.

The main reason is that the two parties are not familiar with each other, and although this pioneering hall looks empty, the atmosphere is particularly solemn and quiet, with a heavy sense of history. It seems that just making the slightest sound here will make you feel guilty.

But just after Sha Duo and Niya sat down, the two people took the initiative to come closer. Niya introduced him in Sha Duo's ear. They were both from the sweet water plane. One was named Lamanni and the other was Green.

Xia Duo actually knew the names of the more than twenty new great arcanists. After all, they all came out of the portal he provided, but he couldn't match their specific faces one by one.

Niya, on the other hand, went to Severton to participate in the new covenant negotiation and recognized all the twenty or so people. Of course, now Shado also matched the names and faces of two of them.

"Lord Shado, and Mrs. Niya, thank you for your help in the Sweetwater Plane."

"You're welcome. This is what every conscientious Nese person would do, and I didn't help much. If you want to thank me, just thank this era. It was the development of the era that made the Seven Towers make concessions."

Niya didn't speak, but Xia Duo's words revealed his understanding and expectation of the current situation. Since the other side has taken the initiative to come closer, Xia Duo naturally doesn't mind trying to win over.

Under his guidance, the two parties quickly turned to the new situation in the future under the new covenant system. Shado used the classical style that the three planes of Sweetwater still retained as an entry point, hinting that he hoped to improve the main plane of Netheril. Conservative ethos makes changes.

Ramani and Green both responded positively to this. Ramani said, "The development of magic cannot be separated from an open communication environment. The signing of the new covenant is indeed an opportunity for change."

Green further proposed, "I will initiate relevant motions at the first meeting after Midsummer Festival, and I hope to get the support of Lord Chateau and Lady Niya."

Xia Duo and Niya readily agreed, and the subsequent communication between the two parties became even more harmonious.
