Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1703 Awakening of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence
Compared to Ambassador Cormanthor's unreasonableness, although Xia Duo's words were not so pleasant, they also contained a considerable degree of respect.

Larian may have been intimidated by Xia Duoyi's questioning, but he can become one of the most powerful seven elders in Evereska. As long as he puts aside the elves' prejudice against humans, how could he not feel Xia Duo's feelings? sincerity.

As a result, Larian's attitude eased, and he no longer looked at each other with resistance or even hostility. He lowered his posture again and asked sincerely:
"Lord Shador, what do you think Evereska should do to survive the turbulent situation in the future? I'm sorry about the incident in the morning. I will go to Netheril to attend the Midsummer Celebration in person tomorrow."

"The incident in the morning was just a trivial matter to me, but it had a great impact on Evereska. Elder Larian should deal with it carefully. As for what Evereska will do next—"

Xia Duo glanced at Larian, who was lowering his eyebrows, without any trace, and continued:
"I think that the relationship between countries, especially the countries of the Northern Alliance, should follow the principles of 'mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity', 'mutual non-aggression', 'non-interference in each other's internal affairs', 'equality and mutual benefit', 'peaceful coexistence' ' and other five basic principles.

"Based on this, I will not ask Evereska what to do or what to do next, I just make a suggestion."

Hearing the five basic principles, Larian was immediately shocked. He never expected that human beings have such a heart. Although he was not optimistic that this principle would be widely accepted in the Northland, as a member of a small country, he hoped that One day.

At this point, Larian had a little more trust in what Xiaduo said before, so he said sincerely and solemnly again: "I also ask Lord Xiaduo to give advice!"

"Efreska is unfortunately the location of the headquarters of the Northland Alliance, but also, just because it has become the location of the headquarters of the Northland Alliance, it has obtained a special neutral status that ordinary countries do not have."

Xia Duo mentioned what he said before, and seeing La Ryan's expression, this time the other party seemed to have no intention of refuting, so he continued:

"On the topic of 'neutrality', Evereska has the same position as all other countries in the Northland Alliance. In other words, it is not Evereska who needs neutrality, but the Northland Alliance needs Evereska. Riska is neutral.

“Once you understand this, it is not difficult to know what to do in the future.

"As long as they don't deviate from the neutral position, all countries need such a ready-made neutral place, and on this basis, if they can maintain closer cooperation with all countries, then Evereska will be invincible .

"Of course, when it comes to details, what Evereska needs to do most now is to ensure the existence of the Northland Alliance. If the Northland Alliance does not exist, then the special status that Evereska obtained through this will no longer exist. up.

"This is actually not easy to do. At present, the major powers are fighting openly and secretly. What happened in the morning may also be seen as Comanso forcing Evereska to stand in line.

"In the end, Comanthor doesn't necessarily need the existence of the Northland Alliance. As long as their goals can be achieved, they naturally don't mind abandoning the Northland Alliance at any time."

Xia Duo's words immediately reminded Larian that the meaning of the Northern Alliance to big and small countries is completely different, just like the current Evereska.

Once the Northern Alliance ceases to exist, it may immediately become a battlefield for great power games, and the situation of the people of Evereska can be imagined at that time.

At the same time, Larian also thought that although Lord Xiaduo just proposed the five basic principles for the relationship between countries, in fact, for a special country like Evereska, it is often impossible to just hope to stay out of it. , but to give full play to its own special advantages and strive to maintain the balance among countries, or peace.

At this time, Larian suddenly realized the real purpose of Lord Shador coming to Evereska as a Nether envoy this time.

If nothing else, it's for the Magic Restriction Treaty!The Naithers are dissatisfied with the magic restriction treaty!What happened in the morning should be just an excuse!

After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this treaty is almost based on Netheril. Once Netheril finally no longer accepts the treaty, it will use this as an excuse to withdraw from the Northern Alliance.

Perhaps they themselves will be more severely excluded and restricted by the northern countries, but it is always the group of small countries in the alliance that is worse, because the state of being beyond hostility and closer to war will make the big countries force the small countries to stand in line.

Although there are also standing in line now, it is relatively peaceful now, and the big powers are still tactful. As for the state of war, Evereska, as a country established to avoid war, can't be more clear.

Moreover, because other small countries had a tendency to stand in line later, it was just that the current "sovereign country" was incorporated into the national system to a greater extent, but Evereska was different.

In the past, Evereska has always avoided the world, and of course it can be said to be neutral, but after experiencing the experience of the Northern Alliance, no one will ignore such an important fulcrum in the Western Region of Nether.

Yeerlan will not, and Comanthor will not. With these two, there is a high probability that Ilfaron and Netheril will also intervene.

Without the Northern Alliance, the countries have torn off their disguise, and for Evereska, it will definitely be a disaster.

Thinking of this, Larian was extremely terrified. He never thought that the peaceful life that had lasted for hundreds of years would be broken one after another in the past few years.

Turbulence, war, and almost all the terrifying scenes he could imagine appeared in his mind one by one, making him even more frightened.

"Lord Xia Duo, Lord Xia Duo, what should I do?"

The expression on Larian's face was a little flustered at the moment. Afraid of hearing the envoy of Nether say "it's hopeless", he looked at Xia Duo expectantly, his eyes full of longing.

At this moment, he couldn't tell whether he acted out of instinct or from the heart, but what was certain was that he never wanted Netheril to withdraw from the Northern Alliance, even if he had to pay a certain price for it.

cough--

Feeling that the time is almost here, Xia Duo finally explained his intentions, "At the next Northland Alliance meeting, Netheril will propose to renegotiate the magic restriction treaty, amend the obviously unreasonable clauses, and improve a series of follow-up processing procedures. Hopefully Everesca can find a place that suits him."

Xia Duo did not explain in detail what Evereska needs to do, nor does he need to analyze it. In fact, at this point, it doesn't matter what Evereska wants or can do.

It's what all members of the Northland Alliance except Comanso need Evereska to do!
