Arcane Lord

Chapter 2756 Another discussion on the Elemental Tower, the fog of time and space

When it came to transforming gems, Filipa's eyes suddenly lit up, "I heard that Calimshan in the south uses a unique elemental tower to produce various types of gems, and the output seems to be quite good!"

"Speaking of this, I remember that almost forty or fifty years ago, the Calimshan people sold me the Elemental Tower, but their request was too excessive, so I didn't agree. Now that I think about it, I wish I had agreed first. "

There was a trace of regret in Helion's eyes, and Philipar also seemed to have thought of something, "I remembered that King Mian was talking about what happened when envoys from the four southern countries visited forty-five years ago?"

"Yes, that was at that time. The four countries were at war, and they all hoped to gain new forces from the North to join the war. So not only me, but all the countries in the North clearly rejected the request of the four countries in the South to establish diplomatic relations. In the following years, the four countries in the South The envoy never came to the Northland until the Northland Alliance was established. "

"What did the Calishites demand then?"

"The request they made is almost a free gift for a small country, but for Yeerlan, it is very uneconomical. They want 90% of the gems produced within a thousand years after the Elemental Tower is built. What do you think of such a request? Will I agree?"

"Won't."

Philipar himself didn't want to agree. Even if the Elemental Tower might solve Ye Erlan's need for gems, the requirements were too harsh, and it could easily get involved in the disputes in the south.

At that time, Erlan had just recovered from the pain of the war, and of course it was impossible for him to fall into the quagmire of war again.

In addition, there is another reason why Helion and Philifar are unwilling to resort to words, that is, the overall strength of Yeerlan is not as good as Calimshan in the south, and they do not even have the ability to breach the contract.

"But it's different now!"

Helien told Phillipa his plan, "The Northland Alliance was established, and the whole does not belong to any country in the south. Even the four southern countries may not be able to retain much actual strength due to the long-term war!

“If we purchase elemental tower-related technology from Calimshan in the name of the Northland Alliance, we may be able to get a more favorable price.

"After all, gems are also an important resource in the North, and once the elemental tower is built, it can also suppress the import price of arcane crystals. To be honest, universal energy gems like arcane crystals are currently the most suitable for arcane magic. !”

After speaking, Helion paused for a moment and then told Philifa, "After Midwinter, you will go to Calimshan in person and try your best to find out as much as possible about the parameters of the Elemental Tower and the need for such a large amount of elements in Calimshan. The reason for the gem.”

The former is of course to make it easier to negotiate with Calimshan, and the latter, Helion is actually still holding on to the idea that once Erlan develops a device similar to Mythra, he might be able to export gems to Calimshan. A new specialty has been added to Yerlan.

However, if they are to really research it, they need to reach a gem export alliance with Netheril. The two companies cannot lower each other's prices to make Calimshan easier.

Helion's little calculation was good, and Shado also gained a lot at this time. By cracking the authority credentials left by Philipa, he successfully parsed multiple sets of high-level authority elements.

After that, we tried to "investigate" the Taivi Mansa Mystery Lock using these high-level authority elements as clues. During this period, Ambassador Fermaei came once, mainly to reply to his previous inquiries.

Before today, Fermae did not know about Yeerlan's arrangements, but after meeting with Queen Helion, Fermae also got an accurate answer from the other party——

It is true that a high-ranking family must be attacked during the banquet, but Ye Erlan is fully prepared to ensure that no accidents will happen.

At the same time, Fermae mentioned the list of people attending the grand banquet two days later. They were mainly dignitaries in Yeerlan, such as upper-level family members, city lords, local councillors, etc.

In addition, there are foreign guests, including ambassadors from various countries, and members of the Northland Alliance investigation team who played a major role in the last Metril incident, that is, Shado and the others.

Finally, there are some special envoys. For example, Fermae mentioned that Badigal sent a special envoy this time, saying that he was preparing to negotiate something with Yeerlan. Fermae did not say what it was.

If the midwinter dinner was still an ordinary banquet, then Xia Duo and the others would be the protagonists of the banquet, but now that the banquet has become a grand banquet, Xia Duo and the others can only be the foils.

However, Xia Duo didn't care about being a foil. He just wanted to get the reward he deserved and go home as soon as possible. Of course, it would also be great if he could capture the important figures of the demon descendants.

It's a pity that this operation was led by Ye Erlan, so even if someone was caught, it would not fall into his hands.

Compared to the elves' interrogation, he still believed in himself more, because he could be 100% sure that he had not been infiltrated by the demons!

However, he was not sure whether the elf interrogators were infiltrated by demons. It was not necessarily blood infiltration. They might have been bribed, coerced, or even inspired by faith.

Bloodline infiltration inspection is more convenient, but the latter is too difficult, especially the faith-inspired infiltration. The person being infiltrated is completely voluntarily serving the devil from the heart. How to review this?

In addition to matters related to the banquet two days later, Fimaai also brought back a piece of news that may be more important in Chateau's opinion -

Erlan has submitted an investigation report on the mysterious fog to the Northland Alliance, and through research on the secret book previously obtained from Dax, he characterized the mysterious fog as the fog of time and space.

It is the product of the demon subverting the timeline, but whether it is a product of success or failure requires further research, and this part of the research will be transferred to the Northland Alliance.

That is, the newly established time-related magic research laboratory of the Northland Alliance.

If Xia Duo is willing to participate, he can go for a "physical examination" after the Midwinter Festival and then join the job.

Xia Duo had made many speculations about the mysterious fog before, and even guessed that it might be related to the timeline. This time it was half solid.

The reason why it is said to be only half is that this conclusion needs further verification. Ye Erlan's investigation results are not necessarily correct. His previous prophecy also mentioned that the Northland Alliance can't do anything about that mysterious fog!

Now a result suddenly appears. Although it may be a breakthrough due to the existence of time-related ritual books, it still needs to be verified by many parties before a conclusion can be drawn.

"Let's wait until after Midwinter!"

Chateau did not linger for long because of the news brought back by Ambassador Fermae, but quickly devoted himself to the investigation of the Mystery Lock of Taivi Mansa.

In the next two days, he stayed in the guest room of the Nese Embassy without going anywhere. He concentrated on investigating the local mystery. Naturally, such an investment would not lead to nothing.
