Arcane Lord

Chateau speculated that there must be the influence of the Illuminati. The Illuminati imagined that the Elamite civilization unified the entire main plane. In that case, a modern system would most likely develop, which is also the basis for the existence of personal income tax.

In addition, there is the popularization of magic. Although Evereska has tried to open up the door to popularize magic, it has not become popular all at once.

These countries are not like Xia Duo, who starts from scratch and can draw on a blank sheet of paper. These countries have existed for too long, and the mage group has monopolized the inheritance of magic. It is not easy to let the vested interests relax.

Not to mention the elven society where class solidification has long been ingrained, even the emerging Netheril is beginning to show signs of this.

The previous stolen scroll of Nese was just an opportunity. The fundamental reason was that the mage group wanted to have a monopoly, so they began to become conservative.

That is to say, the establishment of the Northland Alliance has made exchanges between countries more frequent, and competition has become more frequent. The spread of magic may dilute one's own interests, but compared with the consequences of failure in international competition, some personal interests will be diluted. It’s nothing.

Not to mention that even if magic is popularized, the superior will still be the superior. At most, the power will be diluted, and it will not be directly reduced to dust. After all, this is still a world where great power belongs to oneself.

Although individuals cannot fight against the group, the group here does not refer to ordinary people, but to a certain level of spell casters (high-level). No matter how many ordinary people or middle- and low-level spell casters there are, it will be difficult for them to fight against those at the top. What threat does it pose?

Like Xia Duo, the practice of cultivating all the people in the territory to be advanced is unlikely to be possible even if the countries in the North loosen their restrictions and start to popularize magic in the future.

And according to Tomedes, in order to make money from the computing power pool, to develop industries in short supply, and to quickly catch up with the overall strength of other countries, Elan is really ready to popularize magic!

Such a plan, even in Xia Duo's opinion, is very radical.

After all, even in Xia Duo's own territory, the popularity of magic did not spread all at once, but gradually started with children of school age.

As the hometown slang goes, "If you take too big a step, you'll easily break the egg." Xia Duo is very suspicious that the Illuminati is having another crooked idea. It may be related to the last ceremony, or it may be to distract the alliance.

But for Xia Duo, it is also an extremely rare opportunity. He will not deliberately follow or go against the Illuminati's ideas, but follow his own heart and do what he wants to do.

He wants to see how the Illuminati will end up!

…

"I said when we first met, but if the situation in Elam is really serious, I can provide assistance to Elam through other channels. Now after listening to Ambassador Tomedes' story, I decided to provide some assistance to Elam. ”

Finally, when Sha Duo said these words, Tomedis's eyes suddenly lit up. Without any regard for etiquette or manners, he quickly asked: "Excuse me, what kind of assistance does Consultant Sha Duo provide?"

"There are two parts, both of which are very consistent with your strategy of growing the mage community, but one of them requires your full initiative. I wonder if Ambassador Tomedes can take the initiative?"

When asked whether he could make the decision, Tomedis straightened his body and replied seriously: "When I came, I had already handed over the credentials signed by the seven elders to the alliance, and it was also recognized by the alliance. I have full authority to handle all issues related to Elan. Please ask Consultant Shado to elaborate on what kind of assistance it will provide.”

Hearing such an answer, Sha Duo couldn't help but be a little surprised. Just now Tomedis said that he was just an ordinary sculpture teacher before, but now he said that he could handle all matters involving Elan with full authority.

Is this really a permission that an ordinary sculpture teacher can obtain?

Xia Duo didn't know much about the representatives of other countries, but the representative of Netheril in the alliance, although it was also a plenipotentiary representative, could participate in the decision-making of many things on behalf of Netheril in the alliance, but it was said to be full power, but the actual power was Very limited.

The Sevington Parliament has specifically discussed the authority of ambassadors abroad. Tirion, for example, firstly does not have the right to declare war unless authorized by the Parliament. Secondly, some resolutions and contracts directly related to Netheril also need to be reported to the Parliament in advance. Deliberation.

The only things Tirion can really make the decision are the handling of some daily affairs, and those things that are not directly related to Netheril, he can also handle them himself. (Some of them seem unrelated, but are actually related, and this is where Tirion’s real power lies)

Other countries have always been very different. The plenipotentiary does not mean that he really has all the power. Otherwise, why wouldn't he be the head of state?

This makes it even more special that Elan represents Tomedis. No matter what situation Elan is currently facing, leaving all decision-making power on external affairs in the hands of an ordinary sculpture teacher, even if Xia Duo exhausts his imagination, he still wants to There is no such operation.

So there is no doubt that the so-called "ordinary sculpture teacher" is most likely a humble remark.

Starting from this point, Sha Duo also thought of the so-called seven elders of Ellan. In fact, only four were high mages, and the remaining three were found from the local elves with high reputations.

This is probably the case with Tomedes, who somehow gained the trust of the Seven Elders and most of the Elamite elves.

Although there is a saying in Xia Duo's hometown that "weak countries have no diplomacy," in fact, weak countries need diplomacy more and actively seek all favorable conditions from the outside world. In this case, the requirements for diplomats are particularly high.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo once again looked at the serious-looking golden elf in front of him, thinking that maybe this was the most true mental state of the other person!

The fear, nervousness, loss of etiquette, and relaxation that I showed before are probably just appearances.

However, Xia Duo was not angry from the beginning. Even if there was no Illuminati incident, if Elan still had the idea of ​​​​power pool subsidies, then he would not be angry. He would respond however he wants. It is not worth getting angry over such a thing. .

Unless someone attacks the computing power pool network, then Xia Duo will be angry. This is a stab in his heart. If he is not angry or angry, what is the difference between it and a stone.

…

Although Tomedis claimed to have all the power over Elam's external affairs, it was impossible for Shado not to confirm such a thing, and it was entirely based on what the other party said.

He asked Charles to confirm the scope of authority involved in the credentials handed over by Tomedis, and also asked Charles to check the background of Tomedis.

This is indeed because Xia Duo was not prepared enough in advance, and it is not too late to check now.

While Charles was taking action, Shado had already begun to introduce his aid project to Tomedis. "I wonder if Ambassador Tomedis knows about the existence of the Thorn Society?"

"learn."

Just hearing the name Thorns Society, Tomedis guessed what Shado's project that required Elan's initiative was, and he quickly confirmed with Shado:

"The first project that Consultant Shado mentioned was the introduction of Nese magic to Elan?"

"Yes, that's it! The advancement of elf magic is slow. Even with the help of a computing power pool, how long will it take to become a talent? My suggestion is to directly implement Nese magic, so that Ellan can catch up quickly!"
