Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1357 Change of Attitude of the Envoys of the Four Kingdoms
As for the envoys of the four southern countries, they were arranged on the other side of Ilfaron, and there was no special division. There, Xia Duo met humans outside the Northland for the first time.

Among the four envoys, the middle-aged man with a resolute expression and an unsmiling expression was dressed in armor and had a sheathless translucent long sword hanging from his waist. If nothing else, he should be a psionic master from Zamdas.

The moment Xia Duo's gaze fell on the other party, the other party turned his head to look at him immediately, and at that one glance, Xia Duo felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

It is similar to the awe-inspiring aura of dragons and demons, but it is different. As for the difference, Xia Duo couldn't think of it for a while. He just nodded slightly, and then looked away.

Another human messenger, Xia Duo's impression is much better
A head of disheveled hair is windless and automatic, with a rather elegant temperament. There are several blue lines on his face, whether it is deliberately tattooed or naturally existing, which adds a lot of mystery to him.

Like the psychic master of Zamdas, the other party also noticed Xia Duo's gaze almost instantly, the difference was——

The blood warlock from Calinshan seemed to have sensed Xia Duo's blood traits related to wind, and while showing a friendly expression in his eyes, he also stirred up a slender wave of air and shot towards Xia Duo.

The moment it hit the breeze barrier on Xia Duo's body, he analyzed a gentle and friendly voice on his own, greeting:

"My Arcanist friends from Netheril, if you have the opportunity, you must come to Calimshan to play. The Maired family will not let you down."

The operation of the Calinshan messenger surprised Xia Duo. The sound wave of the message was quite standardized, but it was indeed inspired by the bloodline ability.

It seems that the development of bloodlines by the Calishans has long been freed from the shackles of bloodline instincts and has become a special bloodline magic system.

For a while, Xia Duo became very interested in the country of Calinshan, and he really took the invitation from the Calinshan envoy to heart.

When the floating city is built, maybe the first stop is to go to Calimshan first.

……

The other two envoys from the four southern countries, an elf and a dwarf, may not have simple identities, but Xia Duo's human identity may not be destined to urinate in the same pot as them.

It is said that the dwarf kingdoms in the north, such as Danzo and Amarinda, originally originated from Santana in the south, and they fled to the north only to avoid continuous wars in the south.

To a certain extent, today's Santana may still have quite a strong influence on the dwarven kingdoms in the north.

On the contrary, Katemir may have little impact on the northern elf kingdoms.

Not to mention small countries, big countries like Comanthor claim to inherit the unfinished business of Arivandar and unify the world of elves, and Yeerlan is built on the homeland of Arivandar.

Ilfaran, like Katemir, survived the Crown War. Although the surviving strength is different, the spirit is not necessarily high or low.

Ilfaran doesn't like Arivandar itself, but he doesn't necessarily reject Arivandar's unified concept. This point can be deduced from the phenomenon of power concentration that has already begun to appear in Irfaran.

Under such circumstances, who would be willing to be at the mercy of Katemir?
The Northland Alliance's covenant oath includes "maintain independence" and "oppose foreign interference." There may be disagreements among the member states of the alliance, but their attitudes are very consistent in the face of foreign interference.

If there is no such opportunity as the Drow War, the Northland may spontaneously form an alliance in the future to deal with possible invasions from the South.

Of course, it is also possible to deal with Netheril's floating city threat.

But now, everyone has come together. With the political wisdom of the Seven Towers, it shouldn't be possible to make the world's enemies after the Floating Void City appears.

However, we still need to think twice about the opening up of Miser Energy's nuclear technology, lest one person drag the whole country into the water, which would be no fun.

Today's Xia Duo has regarded Netheril as the basic platform for his social practice, so he is naturally very disgusted with things that exceed the rules.

……

As noon approached, there were already more and more spectators in the Dawn Square, of course mainly elves, and only by observing the expressions of the elves, Xia Duo could tell which country the elf came from.

The Comanthor elves, whether they are gold elves or moon elves, always look at humans with unfriendly eyes; Yeerlan is second, with a touch of alienation in the closeness.

The elves with the most human attitude and the best attitude are the Elfran elves. Although they are all golden elves, at least the vast majority of them have not been influenced by the elfism.

When looking at human beings, especially the Netherians, there is even more a sense of friendship and camaraderie against the remnants of Arivandar.

As one of the few humans in the square, Xia Duo has endured the gazes of too many elves behind him. Occasionally, when he looks back, the elves of Elfaran will look at him in a friendly way.

The Yeerlan elf stepped aside without a trace, and only the Comanthor elf would continue to stare at him without fear, even viciously.

As for the elves of the small country, except for Evereska, they rarely appear here. Without close communication and contact, Xia Duo can't deliberately distinguish them.

But on the whole, the harmony of the atmosphere in the Dawn Square has exceeded his expectations. At least the elves of Elfaran and Comanthor present did not break out any substantive conflicts.

At most, they were hostile to each other and taunted each other, even if no one stopped them, they didn't fast-forward to fight, unlike last year's snowmelt competition, if no one stopped them, they would fight to death in the audience on the spot.

Xia Duo felt that the change in the attitude of the Ilfaran folks towards Cormanthor may have been due to the establishment of the Northland Alliance, but it is more likely that they were deliberately shaped by their officials to pave the way for the later promotion of the concept of unifying the elf world.

It is hard to say whether it is the unified concept of the Great (Golden) Elfism or the unified concept of the five races' common prosperity.

Comanthor is nominally a legal system for the common prosperity of the five races, but in fact it follows the "Great Elfism route". Almost all the people of Ilfaran are gold elves, and theoretically it may be more appropriate to take the Great Elfism route.

But the reality is that Great Elfism hardly has any audience in Ilfaran, and the people of Ilfaran even hate Arivanda, who is also a golden elf.

But if we take the route of co-prosperity among the five races, how can the status quo of almost all the golden elves in Ilfaron be trusted by other elves in other countries who have already had prejudices against the golden elves?
In other words, outside of Ilfaran, the Elf kingdoms almost acquiesced that the gold elves are superior to other elves, and they are all inferior elves. As long as they can live on, why do they need to change their masters?
