Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1165
As soon as Doleson said this, the atmosphere in the venue became colder and weirder, and almost everyone turned their attention to Badigal.

Xia Duo is no exception, but judging from his brief contact experience with Badigal, the other party does not seem to be someone who will easily compromise, let alone apologize to Doleson in front of everyone present. Slapping himself in the face.

But contrary to many people's expectations, Badigal didn't immediately get angry when he heard Doleson's request for an apology. Instead, he got up and looked at Doleson calmly, and asked calmly:
"Do you really want me to apologize?"

This appearance seemed to many people to be a sign that he was about to explode when he was extremely angry, and it happened that Doleson thought so too.

Facing Badigal's calm gaze, the corners of Dolleson's eyes twitched involuntarily, and some bad experiences in the past came to his mind instantly, and he subconsciously gave the answer that best suited his heart:
"No, I was just joking! Hehe!"

But as soon as these words came out, he immediately realized that he was already a grand arcanist, and the other party really scolded him in front of everyone just now, his answer immediately made himself look like a clown .

At this moment, Doleson had already forgotten the main purpose of attending the Grand Arcanist Joint Meeting today, and he didn't dare to look at the expressions of everyone in the venue. He just said "I have something to do at the moment", and hurriedly teleported away.

This tandem performance is simply a farce.

Seeing this, Badigal spread his hands, indicating that it had nothing to do with me, and then sat down quietly.

He did have the idea of ​​doing something just now, but he also knew that neither the newly appointed Iolum nor the other people in the Seven Towers would allow him to do it here, but he didn't expect Doleson to be so timid and directly scared Ran.

……

After Doleson left, the atmosphere in the venue became a lot more harmonious, and most of the subsequent topics were related to the macro policies and plans of the Austrian Law Federation, and the disputes between the Mage Tower organizations were much less.

"Last topic—"

Having said that, Iolum temporarily paused, looked up and glanced at the outside observers, and then said: "The observers leave first."

Xia Duo was about to get up when he heard the words, but received a summons from Iolum again, "This matter is also related to you, stay and continue to listen!"

With the current layout of the venue, Iolum is at the innermost side facing the gate, while Xia Duo, who is sitting behind him, is further inward. Staying in the venue at this moment has not aroused any wait-and-see or discussion.

Soon, the rest of the spectators all withdrew, and the door that had not been closed before was also closed at this moment.

At this time, Iolum continued to say: "The last topic involves many aspects, so let me briefly introduce what happened——

"First of all, the Severton Council proposed to the Austrian Law Federation to punish the tower of wisdom that threatened the personal safety of the lord and subverted the rule of the territory, as well as compensation for related losses, and demanded that the mage tower should be returned to the mage tower, and the rule should be returned to the rule;

"Afterwards, Kieran Tower replaced Rodney to lead the Mage Tower, and sued the Wisdom Tower for malicious occupation; Braun, sued Vader for maliciously manipulating the mind;

"Finally, the Tower of Wisdom is suing Braun for maliciously interfering with the operation of the Mage Tower and undermining the consensus of the Federation's ruling."

This information is no stranger to grand arcanists, and they will know the reason after just listening to a brief introduction, only Xia Duo is still a little unclear.

But he can also infer one or two from it, for example, the conflict between Braun and Vader that was rumored last year, now it seems that the initial reason may be that Vader used some kind of psychic spell on him, and caused some consequences.

As for the Tower of Wisdom v. Braun for disrupting order, it is actually Braun's counterattack against Vader.

Similarly, there is also the request from the Sevington Council to punish the Tower of Wisdom, most likely because of the subversive behavior of Vader and his subordinates in Rodney and Savile.

Of course, Rodney collar was the main one, and Savile collar didn't succeed.

……

"Vader, do you have anything to say?" Iolum asked.

"No."

"Brian, what about you?"

"nor."

In fact, the dispute between Braun and Vader has been roughly resolved, and it is only a final determination of the matter when it comes to the Austrian Law Federation, indicating that it will stop here.

So Iolum declared at last:
"Cancel the resource share of the Wisdom Tower for three years, including the high-level authority of all Wisdom Tower members within the Federation;

"Repeal Braun's personal high-level authority within the federation for one year;
"Finally, the compensation requested by the Severton Council is a total of 20 gold coins. Vader, you need to complete the payment within one month, otherwise the Federation will lower the credit rating of the Tower of Wisdom."

Hearing the last sentence, Vader, who had always been calm since the beginning of the meeting, showed a cautious expression for the first time.

Even when Iolum mentioned that he would cancel the three-year share of the Wisdom Tower before, he was not moved at all, but now, he showed such an expression.

Xia Duo, who had been paying attention to Vader, immediately realized that there might be a problem with the reserve fund of the Tower of Wisdom!
In Netheril today, there is no electronic payment for the time being. It is very inconvenient to carry gold coins for large transactions. Not everyone has a dimensional bag. Even if they have, the delivery of a large amount of metal coins is very troublesome.

So there are gold coin exchange vouchers issued in the names of various subjects, similar to paper money on the earth.

Under normal circumstances, whether it is a mage tower or a territory, as many gold coin exchange vouchers are issued, as many gold coins need to be prepared, so that those who get the gold coin exchange vouchers can exchange them at any time.

Once the Austrian Law Federation announces that the credit rating of the Wisdom Tower will be lowered, it is almost conceivable that it will definitely trigger a series of runs.

If the Wisdom Tower has insufficient reserves, bankruptcy is not impossible.

Of course, the actual situation is likely to be the federation's cover, in order to maintain the overall credit of the gold coin exchange certificate system.

But even if the federation has the backing, the Tower of Wisdom and even the Grand Arcanist Vader will definitely pay a heavy price.

After all, the Austrian Law Federation is not owned by someone, but by everyone. No one wants to see their own interests damaged?

At that time, there may be a situation where eighteen mage tower organizations jointly force Vader to make concessions.

But it is a pity that neither Vader himself nor the Austrian Federation will allow this to happen, and even the Seven Towers will not allow it.

No matter what the real situation is, it is still necessary to give the Grand Arcanist some dignity.

Otherwise, if a great arcanist with no bottom line is forced out, even if it can be suppressed in the end, what price will Netheril pay?

In this regard, Xia Duo can only imagine the bankruptcy of the Wisdom Tower in his heart.
