Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1164
Of course, Xia Duo will not underestimate himself. Although he is not a genius, it does not mean that he will definitely lose to a genius.

First of all, the definition of victory or success is not limited to the academic field. You cannot be the top frontier explorer, but you can also be the most successful civilization guide.

Secondly, even in the academic field, with the existence of life extension spells, there is no knowledge that cannot be mastered, only undiscovered knowledge.

As long as you can follow up quickly, you can also tie for the first place at the same time!
And this requires a relatively mature environment for academic exchanges and achievement sharing, or in other words, becoming the leader of this order naturally obtains this part of authority.

Just like the current Tower of Time, when the members of the Tower of Time make achievements, Xia Duo can also share them simultaneously.

If this model is expanded, or there are exchanges between multiple systems, it will be similar to the academic environment on Earth.

Before the arrival of the new era, Xia Duo, who has become a senior arcane artist, has already stood at the end of most people in the future, so what is he dissatisfied with?
He is full of confidence in whether he can create the "Xia Duo Era"!
……

Taking a step back, even if it is surpassed by countless people in the future, being able to live in a civilization that surpasses senior arcanists and even grand arcanists is much better than it is now.

It is similar to asking a modern person on the earth whether he would like to be an ordinary member of the future science fiction era or an emperor of the past feudal era. It is estimated that most people will choose the former.

After all, the more the times develop, the various experiences of the advanced era will completely cover all the experiences of the past.

For example, in the current magical world, if you become a god and live forever, is it going to be static and not enterprising?How do you know that in the future, all the people will not become gods, and on top of that, there will be more and newer scenery appearing.

In the final analysis, as long as the "I am the only one" thinking is overcome, the vast majority of people will make choices that best suit their own interests and the interests of the times.

Xia Duo has a psychological need to be respected by others, but his need for this kind of respect is far from the point of "I am the only one".

In fact, even if he wanted to, it was impossible to achieve it. There was a god above his head, and in front of him, there were now more than a dozen great arcanists sitting, and there were even many senior arcanists like him around him.

Xia Duo wasn't sure if he would do that when he really had the opportunity to "supreme himself", but at least now, starting from his heart, he would not do that!
……

After briefly stating the future governance philosophy and principles of handling affairs, Iolum officially began to perform the duties of the president: "Let's start a new topic——

"Regarding Ilfaron's invitation to Nether Mage to go to Alintar for a magical exchange, the Severton Council has entrusted this matter to the Arcane Federation. If you have any suggestions and opinions, you can speak freely."

After Iolum finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while. Xia Duo looked at the information in his hand and roughly knew that this topic had only been discussed in the last one or two years. About once every six months, twelve people went to Alintar for a short exchange. .

Before that, it was usually Yeerlan, but since Netheril gave up elven magic, the relationship between Yeerlan and Netheril has been declining day by day.

Going to Yeerlan for exchanges is nominally an exchange, but in fact it is more about inquiring about the development of Yeerlan. This activity has been under the sole responsibility of the Severton Council, which is the Seven Towers, since decades ago.

Most of the things that can be discussed at the Austrian Federation are "civilian events" or "unofficial events". With the current relationship between Netheril and Ilfaran, there is no need for members of the Seven Towers to go to Alintar official channels.

This exchange activity is more like an opportunity for spellcasters outside the Seven Towers.

Soon, Iolum made a conclusion: "Since everyone has nothing to say, let the council deal with it!"

This is also a common practice. The 25 members of the council, in addition to representing the will of the fifteen great arcanists, also represent the will of ten other larger mage tower organizations.

The general direction of the various affairs of the Arcane Union is determined by the fifteen great arcanists, and the specific completion is the responsibility of the 25-member council and its subordinate team of deacons.

……

Next, no one spoke for several topics until——

"Dollison Hawk v. Seven Towers has repeatedly violated the rules in the negotiations on the introduction of new communication spells by the Arcane Federation, and the relevant personnel of the Seven Towers are required to apologize in person!"

When Iolum read this issue, the air in the hall was a bit colder. It’s not that no one dared to challenge the Seven Towers at the Grand Arcanist Joint Conference. In fact, there are many times every year. !

The Seven Towers family has a big business, and there will always be conflicts of interest with other mage tower organizations, and troubles with the Arcane Federation are also common.

But Doraison Hawke is different. Strictly speaking, he does not have much conflict of interest with the Seven Towers. Anyone who understands the so-called illegal operation of communication spell negotiations understands it.

So who is there who doesn't understand?
At least at this time, everyone in the hall of the venue, including those listening outside, almost all knew about it.

The matter involved the elves, especially Comanthor, who was deeply hostile to Netheril among the elves. For such a topic, one must be cautious when speaking.

Even a grand arcanist pays attention to what he says.

But this does not include the other party of the issue - the Seven Towers!
Just when Xia Duo frowned at the unreasonable demands of Doraison Hawke, Badigal of Gustav's Tower in the Seven Towers couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and stood up immediately regardless of the presence of outside spectators. Pointing at Doleson and yelling:
"You really have the guts to say this! The communication spell that you got by licking the ditch of the elves, is that yours? Do you dare to register a patent? Still negotiating? Do you really think that others don't know your little thoughts? You really want to tear your face, I tell you, you are the first to die!"

"Badigal! Watch your words!" Iolum scolded in a deep voice.

"Humph!"

Badigal gave Doleson a cold look, then turned around and gave Iolum a slight salute, and then sat down without saying a word.

Immediately afterwards, Schom, the new controller of Gilles High Tower, spoke: "During the negotiations between the Arcane Federation and Lord Hawke about the introduction of new communication spells, Lord Hawke has always been secretive about the details of the spells, and only used the demonstration Form is not enough to justify its existence.

"I don't think this negotiation should have existed from the very beginning. The Seven Towers stopped the negotiation just to stop the losses of the Austrian Law Federation in time. There is no illegal operation. This issue is groundless and should be dismissed!"

"Doreson, do you have any objection to Schom's answer?" Iolum asked Lord Hawk again.

"No."

Dorleson is very clear about the whole story of this matter, and it is enough to mention it once, and he will be the one who is unlucky if he keeps messing around. But at the same time, he has no intention of letting Badigal go just like this:

"I ask Badigal to apologize for insulting me just now! If the dignity of the Grand Arcanist is so cheap, then I have nothing to say!"
