Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1494 An Angry Cross Digging the Wall

The appearance of a great arcanist can often have an extremely profound impact on the area where it is located, and even has a considerable impact on the entire Netheril.

The Southern Verdant Tower Alliance has a relatively long history, at least 200 years ago. At first, it was just a defense alliance formed spontaneously by the lords of that area in order to deal with the tide of orcs.

Later, after all the large orc tribes in the territory of Nether were wiped out, the large-scale orc tide no longer appeared, but the form of the Verdant Tower Alliance was still preserved.

So far, it can be regarded as the largest group of forces in the south of the core area of ​​Nai Se.

Once such a force has a great arcanist leader on the bright side, its cohesion will be unprecedentedly strong, and it will definitely have more interest demands.

And where more benefits come from, it can only be squeezed out from the surrounding territories, or even from the entire Netheril.

After Iolum briefly introduced Cross and the Verdant Tower Alliance he was in, Shaduo immediately thought that the next Seven Towers might be about to bleed.

The rise of the Verdant Tower will hardly have any impact on the territories far away from the Verdant Tower. After all, this era is more about self-sufficiency.

At most, the benefit from the Austrian Law Federation is less, but that actually has little impact. As for its surrounding territories, perhaps joining the Alliance would be a good choice.

It's not a hard decision to make.

The only thing that will be greatly affected is the Seven Towers. To be a leader and a ruler, one must naturally take into account the overall situation. If others can't get the benefits that the Verdant Tower needs, they can only get out from the Seven Towers.

Xia Duo kept thinking about the impact of this incident on the southern border and the Tower of Time, but did not notice that Iolum had left at this time.

Seeing Xia Duo lost in thought, Brod found it a bit difficult to understand:

"Xia Duo, what are you thinking about so much? Even if the Green Tower rises, it won't affect us. The Seven Towers should be the one to worry about. For us, we should be happy. This will highlight the existence of the Arcane Federation. value."

"..."

Xia Duo was speechless. In fact, in his heart, he was more inclined to the Severton Council than to the Austrian Law Federation. Once the Austrian Law Federation gained actual power, it would have stronger control over the subordinate units, which was not conducive to his development.

As for the Severton Council, as long as it does not change its feudal nature, it can only be regarded as a ruler in name for Xia Duo.

This is conducive to the birth of a real civilization from within and to replace it. In a sense, Xia Duo and the Seven Towers are the real alliance of interests.

Of course, he was also unequivocal when it was time to reach out to the Seven Towers. In other words, what Xia Duo had to do was to constantly pry the corners of the Seven Towers until he hollowed out the so-called "Sevington Parliamentary System".

It can only be said that even if Brod has applied to become a pioneer lord, he still does not have the consciousness of a real lord.

Regarding the rise of the Verdant Tower, Xia Duo is relatively optimistic for the time being. Just like Brod just said, no matter how he rises, it will be difficult to affect the neutrality of the Arcane Federation.

For the time being, as long as Xia Duo picks up Iolum's bus, he doesn't have to worry about the rise of the Verdant Tower having any adverse effects on him. Instead, he can take advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's rise to benefit himself.

He knows that the rise of a power and the process of gaining more benefits cannot happen suddenly, and there will definitely be a continuous process and a relatively stable method.

A mage organization that wants to gain more benefits can only sell products if they can't directly grab it, and use some of the shares or discounts given up by the Seven Towers to realize profits.

In the process, the competition may become fierce!Perhaps this is how the industry developed!
This is probably the benefit that Xia Duo is looking forward to the most.

Of course, Xia Duo didn't expect the Green Tower to open up the market and let him reap the harvest. The Tower of Time would definitely participate in the competition, and maybe it might conflict with the Green Tower.

What to do in the future, Xia Duo decided to wait and see, and see the reaction of the green tower.

At the same time, he is more aware of one thing, that is - the birth of the independent Austrian fire device will have a far-reaching impact than the rise of the Verdant Tower.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo is even more looking forward to the practical use of the independent Austrian fire device.

……

Two days later, the Southern Verdant Tower.

The newly-promoted Grand Arcanist Cross, who was supposed to be glorious, was sitting in the study with a gloomy face at this moment. The light in the study was a bit dim, which further showed Cross's mood at the moment.

At the alliance meeting yesterday, he vigorously promoted his in-depth integration plan to the lords and senior mages in the alliance, but before he said "whoever agrees, whoever opposes", objections appeared one after another.

What disturbed him even more was still to come. After the meeting, he originally wanted to have a private conversation with those opponents and ask them what their dissatisfaction was.

Unexpectedly, one of the opponents suddenly turned into a grand arcanist, and warned him not to forget the original intention of the alliance, which was to gather the crowd to protect themselves, but to satisfy someone's ambition.

This change caught Cross by surprise. He thought that he was the only Grand Arcanist in the alliance, and he should be the only leader, but now another one appeared.

Then when the alliance needed the opponent most, why didn't the opponent stand up?

Why now?Isn't this aimed at him deliberately!

Later, Cross didn't bother to meet the opponents behind him. He returned to the territory depressed, and called his younger brother Kaboer back from Sevington. He asked Kabole to go to the Test those naysayers.

But the results are predictable.

Even Cross himself can object to it, and what difference can it make if he loses his younger brother.

The only advantage is probably that Cross doesn't need to experience that embarrassing scene in person.

While thinking about what to do next, the light in the study suddenly became brighter. Cross subconsciously narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure appearing in the light. He knew that his younger brother Kaboer had returned.

"How? What did Lord Koch say?" Cross asked with concern.

"Ugh--"

Kaboll shook his head, "Lord Koch said that it is good for the alliance to maintain the status quo, and there is no need to make any changes."

Upon hearing this, Cross's anger, which had gradually subsided, suddenly surged again, "Do these stubborn old antiques really think that I value their fortune? The times have changed, and if we can't adjust and adapt in time , will definitely be abandoned by the new era!"

The furious Cross got up and walked around in the study, as if venting his anger. Finally, he stopped in front of his younger brother Kaboer, stared into his younger brother's eyes, and asked:

"Do you also think I'm radical and ambitious?"

"I—" Kaboer hesitated.

When Cross saw this scene, he didn't know his brother's intentions, and he became angry again in an instant, and shouted: "Go away! Go back to your Severton!"

He didn't expect that his own younger brother, whom he had always believed to understand and trust him the most, would choose to trust others at this time!
This blow is even worse than all the opponents in the alliance combined.
