Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1493 Eastern Proverb Green Tower Alliance
Setting a relatively clear version for the independent Olympic fire device made everyone's goals clearer, the project no longer procrastinated, and Xia Duo became more motivated.

As for the new achievements of the David string project team, it is temporarily sealed up as a reserve technology, which can be used when the independent Austrian fire device is updated in the future.

……

In the evening, Xia Duo went to the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce as scheduled. This time the meeting place was changed to the Hall of Spring. Maybe he felt that the reception was not good last time. This time Xia Duo was arranged for a dinner as soon as he came.

During the dinner, Jenna talked about how she met Horn, and she laughed at the misunderstanding: "It turns out that Horn thought I was the daughter of Master Byron for so many years!"

"Then does he intend to become a god in the business field?"

"No, it's just that the Zilan Tower has made some adjustments to the affiliated chamber of commerce in response to the new situation of the underground war. As you said, the misunderstanding will naturally be resolved. But—"

Speaking of which, Jenna deliberately paused, then raised her wine glass, stared at the slightly trembling liquor inside, and said with a hint of resentment:

"However, Horn suggested that I go to the Austrian Law Federation to update my personal information, so that I can no longer hide behind the scenes. Do you think this is a loss or a profit?"

"Of course I made money. The creed of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce is 'integrity-based'. There is a similar saying in my hometown, but there is an additional sentence of 'peace is the most important'. Dissolving a possible conflict is more important than anything else. "

Jenna nodded, thoughtful, while Xia Duo continued: "As for whether it is hidden behind the scenes, I actually have a different opinion on this point?"

"Oh? What do you think?"

"It is true that hiding behind the scenes can gain a first-mover advantage that is difficult to obtain at the front stage, but in my hometown, there is a very famous proverb called 'sitting in the well and watching the sky'!"

"Sitting in the well and looking at the sky, wouldn't you only be able to see a small area at the mouth of the well?"

"Yes, we have always been hidden behind the scenes, and our perspective will be restricted behind the scenes. As the few starters in Netheril, if we don't even have the courage to face our opponents head-on, how can we make things happen?"

In fact, there is one thing Xia Duo didn’t say, that is——if you keep hiding behind the scenes, you may get used to using all kinds of conspiracies and ingenious means to get things done.

When it really comes time to deal with it head-on, it may wither.

Lu Xun once said, "Those who achieve great things through conspiracy have never existed since ancient times." Whether it is the road to ascension to the gods in terms of individuals, or the road to prosperity in terms of organizations and countries, they can all be called major events. Tricky.

"You're right, but now I have a question—"

"What's the problem, President Jenna, please tell me!"

"I have met many Orientals in the past, but they are not as eloquent as you. Can you tell me why?"

"Haha! President Jenna is thinking too much, you can't ask an apprentice who has just been exposed to magic to argue with a prestigious mentor?"

Xia Duo used the apprentice mentor as an example to talk about high and low status. He himself does not think that whoever has a high status must have a high status and whoever has a low status, but in Netheril, even if they are both apprentices, there will be a distinction between high and low Come!

When Xia Duo said this, Jenna immediately understood that no matter how eloquent the oriental people she had met in the past, if they did not have an equal identity with her, they might not be able to say anything, but——

"I'm becoming more and more interested in your hometown. I saw the ancient and mysterious 'Oriental Kingdom' mentioned in elf literature before. I always thought it was an elf's fantasy. Now it seems that the Eastern Kingdom does have mystery! Shall I tell you about your hometown?"

"Of course, if President Jenna wants to hear it, it's just that I'm just an ordinary person in my hometown. There are many secrets that I can't touch. I hope President Jenna can understand."

There were a lot of evasive words in Xia Duo's words, but his attitude was sincere, but he was not annoying. Seeing this situation, Jenna no longer insisted, "That's fine, I hope that one day I can personally travel to the mysterious Eastern Kingdom."

"I will not let you down."

……

In the following time, the two began to chat, from the underground war to the price increase of surface materials. It was not until nearly midnight that Xia Duo said goodbye and left.

On the second day, the discussion on the new plan for integrating the generation mechanism of the arcane energy field continued. At noon, during the meal, Xia Duo and Broad were still discussing intensely.

Although Iolum seldom spoke during the meal, he listened carefully, occasionally nodding his head in response, and Luo Wei and others could intervene a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After lunch, Iolum suddenly said: "I have something to do with the Austrian Law Federation this afternoon, so I won't go to the laboratory, you guys discuss it first!"

"Teacher, is there anything you need to deal with in the Austrian Law Federation? Can't you hand it over to Director Hatchenis?"

"Another Grand Arcanist was born, do you think I want to go?" Iolum gave Brod a white look, and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Xia Duo hurriedly asked, "Is it President Jenna of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce?"

"Well, I know about Jenna's situation. This time there is another one, the elder brother of Director Kaboer, Cross from the Southern Verdant Tower Alliance. He just submitted the latest information." Iolum explained .

"Cross? And Jenna?"

Brod on the side suddenly cried out in surprise. Fortunately, these two people have already disclosed their identities, otherwise he might be the biggest source of leaks.

Iolum didn't blame Brod for making a fuss, he was surprised by it, Jenna forget it, he already knew, but Cross was different.

The Southern Verdant Tower Alliance is an interest alliance headed by the Verdant Tower, more than a dozen Mage Tower organizations, and based on many territories in the south.

In this alliance, senior arcanists are actually not uncommon, the only thing lacking is a grand arcanist who can become the spokesperson and leader of the alliance.

In the past, the outside world agreed that the person closest to the Grand Arcanist was Lord Hawke, and he did become a Grand Arcanist later on.

But the Verdant Tower Alliance doesn't think so, they always firmly believe that the next great arcanist must come from within the Verdant Tower Alliance.

In addition to the fact that the alliance has many well-known senior arcanists, a more realistic problem is that the Verdant Tower Alliance desperately needs a great arcanist.

Unfortunately, the reality is often not as expected,

First Lord Hawke, and then Schom of Gilles Tower. Gradually, the outside world's insistence on the Verdant Tower is more like watching a joke. This situation even affects Iolum to a certain extent. affected.

It was once thought that the potential of the Verdant Tower might come to an end.

Unexpectedly, just a few days after Xia Duo's identity was disclosed, Cross submitted an information update. Is this an accidental breakthrough under the expectations of everyone?Or is it under the expectation that it has to be made public?

Iolum is more inclined to the former, but why must it be Cross instead of others? Maybe there are other great arcanists hidden in the Verdant Tower Alliance.

But no matter what, as long as the other party does not make it public, it should be regarded as the other party does not exist.

　That sentence was really said by Lu Xun. . .
