Arcane Lord

After a while, Badigal sent another remote meeting notification, and this time it was not just a notification, but the official start of the conference room.

Niya still did not attend this meeting, but entrusted Sha Duo to vote on her behalf.

At the meeting, Badigal introduced to everyone the current progress of negotiations on the mithril mine in the Gray Peak Mountains. In addition to those mentioned with Sha Duo before, there are more details. Sha Duo also took this opportunity to comment on the current situation in the North. A better understanding of the local situation.

"In view of the current situation, Lord Shado proposed that a portion of the mithril mine share can be divided separately, and then all countries can compete for it through arcane competitions. Currently, our main recommendation is the snow melting competition."

Afterwards, Xia Duo explained to everyone his idea of ​​"resolving the dispute in the North through a more peaceful arcane competition." Although he failed to get everyone's approval, no one really opposed it.

After all, everyone is an arcanist and a researcher, not a naturally violent person. If disputes can be resolved through more peaceful means, who would refuse?

The reason why it is not recognized by everyone is not that they are opposed to this idea, but that they are not very optimistic about the prospects of this idea. After all, if the problem can be solved through arcane competition, why can't it be solved through negotiation?

Competitive conflict is also a conflict, but with a lower intensity. Low-intensity conflicts cannot resolve disputes, and they must ultimately be resolved by war.

However, for now, resolving disputes through arcane competitions can indeed be an important supplementary method to negotiations, rather than directly transitioning to war.

In the end, this proposal was passed with a high vote, and the next step was to authorize Ambassador Tirion to use the latest principles in negotiations.

…

This meeting only talked about one thing, and it was actually a continuation of the topics of the previous meeting. In fact, there was no need to convene this meeting. But now that communications are so convenient, Badigal still convened it even for the sake of the members’ right to know. .

In this regard, Xia Duo is actually more inclined to convene a meeting to discuss it openly.

After the meeting, Sha Duo continued to interpret Puffin's consciousness. At the same time, since there were only some fragments of consciousness left to be interpreted, Sha Duo's energy was not as much as before.

While interpreting Puffin's consciousness, he also separated part of his consciousness and used it as an incarnation to act in Everesca. He had received an invitation from Elder Larian to attend a small family banquet.

For Xia Duo, this small banquet is certainly not necessary, even if it is a small banquet for the Jin Feng family, but combined with the early completion of the Friendship Tower, it is obvious that Larian does not just want to treat him to a meal.

That night, Xia Duo arrived at the Jinfeng family manor on time, and the small banquet went on as scheduled. The Jinfeng family was attended by Larian, the patriarch, and Larian's eldest son, the high mage Lierles.

In addition to Chateau, the guests also included Schneider, the person in charge of Cole Construction, and Elder Urban of Evereska, whom Chateau had met a few times but was not familiar with.

Upon seeing this situation, Xia Duo once again confirmed that tonight's small banquet was just a pretense, and in fact they still wanted to talk about matters related to the Friendship Tower.

Sure enough, after a simple meal, Larian took the initiative to point out the theme of the small banquet, "Currently, the negotiations between the countries in the Northland are at an impasse, and Everesca intends to use the opportunity of the delivery of the Friendship Tower to promote reconciliation among the countries.

"At the same time, the Council of Elders also approved a new district construction plan. In the future, a brand new commercial district will be built with the Friendship Tower as the core."

As soon as these words came out, not only Schneider, but also Sha Duo's face was slightly moved. He originally thought that today they were just talking about the Friendship Tower, but he didn't expect that Everriska would actually come up with a new district construction plan.

However, if you think about it carefully, Evereska's approach is understandable. The south of the city has always been one of Evereska's underdeveloped areas. This does not mean that the ground is good, the ground is actually full.

What is really developed is the upper urban area.

Like many elf cities, Everiska is also a three-dimensional city, and its scale is far larger than that of ordinary cities. After all, most of the citizens of Everiska live in this city.

From the ground to the upper floors, some places have been developed with three or four floors, and some places are still on the ground. The southern area of ​​the city originally had only two technical schools, the Magic Academy and the Combat Academy, as well as surrounding communities and business districts.

But they are all on the ground.

There is only one Taltat Swordsmanship Academy on the second floor, which is much less open than other urban areas.

Of course, the south of the city has been underdeveloped for so many years. The Friendship Tower was even specifically chosen to be located here. Obviously, the Friendship Tower was not the main reason for the development of the south of the city.

There is only one real reason that Shado can think of, and that is the newly discovered mithril mine in the Gray Peak Mountains not far north of Everesca. The development of the mithril mine in the future will definitely attract a large number of outsiders.

Just like Shado said to Larian before, as long as we seize this opportunity, Evereska will definitely have the opportunity to become the most important commercial center in Northland.

At present, Evereska can be regarded as a commercial center in Northland, but it only has the characteristics of a wide variety of goods and wide channels, and a large part of the actual commercial potential has not been developed.

What can be done in Evereska can also be done in Comansol and Tevimansa, but what can be done in the latter two cities may not be possible in Evereska. This is just a purely commercial level.

Therefore, Evereska was able to quickly pass the development plan for the upper new area in the south of the city. Although it was somewhat beyond Sha Duo's expectations, it was actually an inevitable choice that Evereska could make at the moment.

It's just a question of where to locate the new district. This just happens to be a tower of friendship that integrates multiple races and cultures. If we don't take advantage of this, wouldn't it be a wasted opportunity?

"I would like to ask Elder Urban to introduce the specific plan to you two."

As he spoke, Larian made a "please" gesture to Urban. Urban's ranking in the Everesca Council of Elders was much lower than Larian, but if this time the development plan for the upper new area in the south of the city is successfully completed, , his ranking can definitely move up a few places.

This is also the main reason why Urban will personally attend the Larian banquet and personally explain to Chateau and Schneider. Apart from the fact that this plan cannot bypass Chateau, he is also a little impatient.

"Lord Chateau, Director Schneider, regarding this development plan, I think it can be briefly summarized as "one core, two main roads, and three levels of development."

“One core refers to the Friendship Tower as the core and expands to the surrounding areas; two main roads refer to the construction of two suspended main roads from the north and east directions to connect the new area with other urban areas.

"Three-story development refers to starting from the ground reconstruction and building up to the third floor above."
