Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1178 The Dwarf Requests a Mysterious Pattern
Hearing Badigal's question, Prince Pasteur twisted his non-existent waist, moved a little out of the seat, and then held the hammer handle and said to the group of great arcanists:
"It's not necessary. Given the current situation that Dan Zuo is in, even a later notification won't have much impact."

After finishing speaking, Prince Pasteur jumped off the chair again, walked up to the great arcanists, saluted solemnly, and continued:

"It just so happens that you are all here. I would like to convey my father's request to you all. I hope that Netheril will give Danzo the necessary help in the discussion of the Northland Alliance and in dealing with drow and other issues based on the centuries-old friendship between the two countries. support and assistance!"

Although Netheril established diplomatic relations with Danzo in a shorter period of time than Yeerlan, the relationship between the two countries is much more stable than that with Yeerlan.

The most important factor is that humans live on the surface, while dwarves live underground or in the mountains. There is no conflict between the two sides, and there will be no competition in the foreseeable future.

Dwarfs need food, wine, and ore from humans, and humans need metals, gems, and weapons from dwarves. The trade between the two sides basically takes what they need, and they can complement each other.

On the contrary, humans and elves naturally have a competitive relationship in the choice of living places. When one side grows stronger, it will inevitably reduce the living space of the other side.

The relationship between Netheril and Yeerlan eventually became estranged, even to the point of discord on the surface. It was not just that Netheril gave up the elf magic and hit the elf teacher in the face, but more importantly, Netheril had separated from the elves. The idea of ​​mastery, and the possibility!
If Erlan supports Netheril again, she would be really stupid!

Up to now, Ilfaran has firmly stood with Netheril in his attitude towards Comanthor. It's the honeymoon phase, but that's just the moment.

No matter who is powerful in the future, it is impossible to treat an ally who may grab territory and benefits with him in this way. It is considered conscientious to accept him as a vassal and treat him as one with his own people.

Only dwarves are the ideal allies of humans!
This time Prince Pasteur came to Severton. In addition to negotiating with the Northland Alliance related affairs and seeking assistance to deal with the drow problem, he also took the initiative to express goodwill to mankind.

While Badigal, Iolum and other great arcanists were thinking about it, Pasteur spoke again: "When I came, my father specifically told me that due to the impact of the drow offensive, the export volume of mithril in recent years will be reduced. will be affected.

"In order to compensate Netheril's loss in this regard, Danzo is willing to provide a mithril extraction technology suitable for humans.

"In addition, the secret contract of the Three Kingdoms that we signed with Yeerlan, if Netheril needs to renegotiate the contract, Danzo will also support it!"

Hearing the last sentence, several great arcanists were shocked. They didn't care about the dwarf's mithril extraction technology, and they had already mastered part of it before mentioning it, and Ilfaran also provided part of it.

What they really care about is renegotiating the Mithril Contract of the Three Kingdoms. This contract was fair and beneficial to Netheril earlier, but now it is extremely unfavorable to the growing Netheril!

Moreover, the contract lasts for 700 years, which is just over half of the time now, and there are still more than 260 years before it expires!
However, the cost of breaching the contract is too high. Even though the three countries have negotiated countless times on this contract in the past, in the end, it has only slightly improved, and there has been no essential change.

The main contents of the contract are——

During the validity period of the contract, all the mithril mines discovered by Netheril will be ignored. Once mined, the ore will need to be sold to other two countries, and the other two countries will provide Netheril with finished mithril. The quantity depends on the quantity of ore exported.

At the same time, on the basis of this contract, there are a series of contracts that are very beneficial to Netheril and difficult to give up.

The reason why the Mithril contract of the Three Kingdoms is difficult to negotiate is that apart from the frequent intervention of Cormanthor, it is also difficult for the Three Kingdoms themselves to give up their interests.

But now, Danzo is willing to voluntarily give up his own interests to fulfill Netheril, so there is no problem. Let alone Comanthor's intervention, it is difficult for even Yeerlan to raise any effective objections.

Of course, it is obvious that Netheril eats meat, and Yeerlan takes a sip of soup, and only Danzo suffers.

But from a more macro perspective, Danzo will also gain more sincere support and assistance from the two countries in other aspects.

And this also shows how much pressure drow has brought to Danzo in the underground world!

……

Several grand arcanists did not refuse Danzo's request conveyed by Prince Pasteur, but they also proposed that a new three-nation contract should be renegotiated before the alliance was established.

Before that, Netheril will give Danzo the necessary assistance in dealing with the drow problem in advance.

……

And on the other side.

Xia Duo, who returned to the residence of the Austrian Law Federation, still couldn't let go of the unhappiness he felt in the arena just now. After talking to Niya, he immediately started memory retrieval.

From going out in the morning to entering the arena, and then to El Carmon announcing the start of the game, the last picture in my memory was frozen when I passed by the area where the Ilfaran elves were:

Apart from the dry, gray-black blood and flesh stains on the light blue ground, and a small amount of foul-smelling turbid translucent liquid, what impressed him the most was——

On the ground and the stone seats, there are some gray-black patterns that appear or disappear everywhere, some of which are like abstract lines of the monster summoned by Drow's self-destruct, and some are mysterious runes with completely unknown meanings.

At this moment, in Xia Duo's memory, those monster line drawings and mysterious runes are exuding bursts of gray-black mysterious glow. This light makes people feel uncomfortable at first sight.

More importantly, when he was in the arena before, he didn't find any luminescence in those patterns, even under the magic vision!
That is to say, there was nothing abnormal in the normal recollection and watching on the spot, but something abnormal appeared when the memory was traced back!

Xia Duo had never encountered such a bizarre situation before, and this ungraspable situation made him a little uneasy.

Then, he sank himself into the subconscious again, and carefully discerned the source of that unpleasant emotion, but after wandering in the subconscious for a long time, he couldn't find anything abnormal.

It was as if the emotion just came up naturally.

Just as the ungraspable situation made him uneasy, the monster line drawing and mysterious runes also made him inexplicably unhappy.

But the former can be explained, the latter is completely unreasonable.

However, an objectively existing phenomenon cannot be without a reason, it can only be due to the wrong perspective and accuracy of one's own observation, understanding, and perception.

Afterwards, Xia Duo continued to concentrate, and continued to focus until he felt the soul.

He believes that those patterns only show visions in memory tracing, and must be related to the soul, and perhaps some abnormalities can be found from the perspective of the soul.
