Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1015 The Final Trial of Peaceful Unification

This time, the new round was not in the grand hall before, but in a garden courtyard, where a kind-faced elf elder was introducing guests to Xia Duo——

A high mage from the Kingdom of Reese.

Of course, this person has another identity, that is, the former foreign affairs advisor of King Reese Mian. This time, he came to the Kingdom of Tal as the special envoy of King Mian at the invitation of the Great Elder of the Elven Court.

After a little perception of the surrounding environment, Xia Duo figured out the situation in front of him. The former foreign affairs adviser from a neighboring country visited the Elven Court not entirely in response to the elder's invitation, but more importantly, to find out what King Talmian was thinking. , that is, my own thoughts.

Soon, the two parties finished their introduction, but Xia Duo found that time in this garden seemed to have stood still, except for him, the other elves were motionless.

"Thinking time?"

Xia Duo was thoughtful, but at this moment, it was only a moment before he issued the order. He couldn't be more clear about his thoughts at that time. After thinking about it for a while, he said to the special envoy of King Reese:
"The relationship between Tal and Reese has a long history, and now the Ty'Quese family is facing various tests, whether it is the increasingly complicated situation in the Northland, or the drow army that may rush out of the ground at any time to have another feast of slaughter,

"Or the gradually declining magical civilization, urging us to unite and deal with the challenges of the future with a closer whole.

"Now that Tar is on the right path, why doesn't the Kingdom of Reese follow the trend of history and work together to forge a better future?"

After a pause, Xia Duo said again: "As for the interests of the families in the Kingdom of Reese, I promise in the name of the Akarama family that they will definitely continue in the new kingdom."

After speaking, he discovered that almost every speech in this meeting was a round, and he needed to take the initiative to end the round before the deduction would continue and there would be a new round.

After the round ended, Envoy List spoke with a deep tone and a firm attitude, "King of Akarama, I believe that everything you said is true, but Daniels has inherent traditions, please allow us to refuse, this is not only The will of our king is also the will of most of our Reese elves."

In this regard, Xia Duo smiled slightly. He had known for a long time that the Reese Kingdom in the trial corresponded to the Akola Kingdom outside.

Akola in the projected plane rejected the invitations of Jaronstar and other forces, and did not want to be part of the emerging Cormanthor.

On the main plane, thousands of years later, in the era of Xia Duo, Akola has already sealed the Listar Forest (the northwest part after the destruction of Uvelen) with a mystical lock, denying any outsiders (elves) from entering.

Then in this trial, there must be performances in this regard, but the envoy Lister expressed his refusal so firmly and directly, which surprised Xia Duo.

He thought the other party would say some polite words!
After thinking for a while, Xia Duo said: "Although the integration of political entities cannot be implemented for the time being, we can still have many common topics in dealing with the Starr Forest, fighting against drow, and non-governmental exchanges.

"Now I have stopped the development of the Thar people in the northwest direction. I intend to establish several trading cities on the border between the two countries. The resources of the two sides complement each other and share a win-win situation. I wonder what your opinion is?"

This proposal is actually very difficult for the Reese Kingdom to refuse. Whether it is Akoala on the projection plane or Akoala on the main plane, their largest territory is only a small part of the northwest corner of the original Listar Forest.

And this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that there is not much room for development around Akola, and Comanso, after merging Jeronstar and other forces, the rest of the Ristar Forest The vast majority of regions, legally, belong to its jurisdiction.

The theoretical territory of the two differs by six or seven times.

Xia Duo didn't know how the crowned king of Cormanthor in the history of the main plane did, but he was more willing to use kingly means to gain legal rule over the Kingdom of Reese.

With constant exchanges and cooperation, assimilating each other culturally, dominating each other economically, and coupled with their strong military capabilities, there is no reason for the Reese elves not to attach themselves.

In fact, in the elven society, Mian Wang does not have absolute authority. To a large extent, as long as the major families reach an agreement, Mian Wang has no choice but to follow.

In the final analysis, King Mian is just a representative of one of the stronger families, and it is not necessarily the strongest family. Of course, it is very possible to say that it is the most prestigious and credible.

……

Sure enough, after Xia Duo ended, the scene jumped back to the original grand hall, and the consultants once again fed back to him the results of the deduction after the end of the last round——

"The two countries signed a framework agreement to deepen exchanges, covering border trade, non-governmental exchanges, resource development, combating orcs, and tracking drow."

Once you get off to a good start, things will follow suit.

The high-ranking mages behind the trial did not cause Xia Duo any unexpected events such as sudden mutiny or disasters from heaven, and most of the follow-ups were premised on his actions.

This also means that as long as you think carefully (covering the imagination of the mage behind the trial), you are basically in control.

Soon, in the deduction, the Kingdom of Reese became more and more dependent on the Kingdom of Thar, not only economically but also more and more integrated into the Thar system, but also culturally.

Often what is popular in the capital of Tal will soon appear in the capital of Reese, and the voices of the people for joining Tal or forming the United Kingdom are getting louder and louder.

This situation continued until a Reese elf who had studied abroad at the Higher Magic Academy in the capital of Tal and returned to China as a senior mage appeared.

This directly broke the psychological defense of the few people in power in Reiss. They couldn't fight again and again, and if they continued to procrastinate, they would just die slowly.

Anyway, by joining the Kingdom of Tar, their own interests will not be lost much, but may increase additionally.

In this way, the Kingdom of Reese merged into the Kingdom of Taal almost without any disturbance. In the end, Xia Duo named the unified country the Kingdom of Listar, which also corresponds to "Kormanthor".

……

"Lyle, your performance surprised us very much, and now I believe that you are the prophesied true king of Cormanthor.

"But the trial is not over yet, there is one last trial waiting for you, if you can pass it, then I will offer my loyalty!

"I have to remind you that Kephm before you fell in this last item. Of course, his performance in the first two items is far worse than yours."

To be able to send a message to the tester during the trial process, there is no doubt that this must be one of the two high-ranking mages who presided over the trial ceremony.

When he heard that he might have a follower of a high-ranking mage, even Xia Duo's state of mind was calm, and he couldn't help but feel ripples at this moment.

You must know that his incarnation of "Lyle Akarama" is only an elite mage, equivalent to a high-level mage among humans, while a high-level mage of an elf is equivalent to a great arcanist among humans, and the upper limit may be even higher. Some.

Even just having a High Mage follower on the Projected Plane is exciting.

"Could it be that the source of this trial is really the prophecy of King Osens, not a gimmick?"

Xia Duo could not help but have such a guess.
