Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1761
Seeing Cross get up, Horn immediately stared at the opponent vigilantly. Although he didn't believe that the opponent dared to make a move on this occasion, it at least showed that he was not convinced by the ruling of the Seven Towers, and wanted to make a final struggle.

I only heard Cross say impassionedly: "Nowadays, in the northern countries, it has become the general trend to reform and establish a more efficient organizational method. Now that we are one step behind, we may have to take countless steps to make up for it in the future.

"Everyone of you here has selfishness, you only know how to stick to your own little territory, but you don't know that only true unity can make Netheril win the future competition.

"Your Excellency Horn, I know you are very dissatisfied with me because I challenged the old order of building the Seven Towers, but what I want to say is that what I do today may not necessarily be what the Seven Towers will do in the future!
"Also, everyone, the Seven Towers are powerful now, and you all agreed to sanction me, but when the Seven Towers want to annex you in the future, do you still dare to unanimously oppose it?

"Could it be that this kind of thing is only done by the Seven Towers, so I can't do it, and everyone here can't do it?"

Cross seemed very unwilling to have his career interrupted forcibly, but there was nothing he could do about it now, so he walked back and forth in the circular hall, as if venting his extremely aggrieved resentment.

And his words also left deep ripples in the hearts of everyone present. It is true that the Seven Towers are already so powerful, and today they are sanctioned on the grounds of upholding tradition.

Only those with strength have the right to speak. If the current Verdant Tower Alliance is powerful, would the Seven Towers dare to treat Cross with an attitude that is almost open to trial?
In this regard, Horn immediately retorted:
"The so-called situation in the North is all an excuse. The most difficult time in the past has passed, can it be worse in the future?
"The Covenant of Sevingdon is the basis for the existence of Netheril, and it is also the guarantee of your interests. I can tell you clearly here that if the Seven Towers take the lead in breaking the covenant in the future, you must unite to overthrow the Seven Towers.

"But before that, any behavior that violates the covenant will be regarded as a provocation to all the lords of Netheril. Cross, you don't need to quibble anymore, just ask you——

"If the Seven Towers did the same thing as you now, are you willing to obey this new order?"

Cross didn't answer this question, but the disdainful expression on his face can already explain the thoughts in his heart. The new order led by himself and the new order established by others are completely two concepts.

Xia Duo also asked himself the same question in his heart, if the Seven Towers did exactly what he planned, would he be willing to obey this new order?

For this question, it is not difficult for Xia Duo to answer. He has already reached the stage of understanding his mind and seeing his nature. He is able to recognize his true heart. Do he want to see the ideal new world, or enjoy controlling the fate of countless people with one hand? pleasure.

There is no doubt that what he really wants is the former.

If Qita is really enlightened enough to do what he wants to do but may not be able to do, then what's the matter if he is willing to be driven!

But there are no assumptions in reality, at least for now, the Seven Pagodas are still a little far from Xia Duo's requirement of "willing to be a vassal"!
However, just now Horn said that if the Seven Towers violated the covenant, everyone must unite to oppose it, which was somewhat beyond Xia Duo's expectations.

According to his judgment on the Seven Towers, if the future situation changes, it is really possible for the Seven Towers to take the initiative to merge.

When Horn said this now, he didn't know if it was to kill Cross's last bit of luck, or if it was true that the old covenant hundreds of years ago would be strictly adhered to in the Seven Towers.

Although it doesn't mean that the old covenant can only be fixed and cannot be changed, but it may not be so easy to change the key clauses involving territorial independence.

The most likely change is probably that the situation will change in the future. Most of the lords of Netheril have unanimously demanded that the Severton Council make changes.

If this kind of situation can really happen, then the Seven Towers is probably what everyone expects.

Xia Duo does not think that this kind of situation may appear in reality, especially the emergence of floating cities in the future will further strengthen the independence between different territories.

On the contrary, the biggest variable is that the southern border is ready to truly popularize magic education. When the strength and prestige reach a certain height, isn't it a matter of course that the order of the Great Xia will radiate the whole territory of Naise?

……

Perhaps because Horn exposed his selfishness in public, Cross did not return to his seat in the end, leaving only a sentence of "you will regret it" before preparing to leave.

But before leaving, he seemed to have thought of something, turned around again, looked at Xia Duo, and said meaningfully: "Among all of you here, I am most optimistic about you, Lord Xia Duo, and I hope there will be cooperation in the future." Opportunity."

After finishing speaking, he ignored the others and teleported away directly.

After he left, it was Kaboer who stood up and said to Cross, "Brother is willing to accept your sanctions because he doesn't want the elves to take advantage of the turmoil in Netheril, but Time will prove that brother is right, please don't make a decision that your future self will regret."

Kaboer's words seemed a little redundant. After all, no matter what he said or what he said, it would not change the established result, but everyone in the auditorium may not know so much inside information.

His words can be regarded as forcing a little bit of whitewashing for Cross, and leaving a little foreshadowing for the future recovery.

Regarding this, the attitudes of the great arcanists present were not the same. Horn and Harris were obviously a little dissatisfied. The rest of the people were either thoughtful and silent, or they were euphemistically pleading for Cross. .

In the end, the sanctions against the Verdant Tower did not change at all, and Horn proposed the sanctions in the form of suggestions in name.

But in fact, this is almost a unilateral sentence from the Seven Towers. Even the few people who have euphemistically defended and interceded for Cross have not expressed objection to this.

As a result, the sanction case that could barely be called "triggered by a magic weapon" finally came to an end, and Iolum, on behalf of the Austrian Law Federation, announced the results of the previous twelve charges—

First, the Verdant Tower needs to evacuate all intruders from the relevant territory and the Mage Tower within the specified time; second, it promises that similar situations will not occur in the future; and the third is to give due compensation to the relevant parties.

It does not involve the handling of the Verdant Tower Alliance. After all, the Verdant Tower Alliance is not a formal organization, at least in the concept of the Severton Council and the Austrian Law Federation. It was originally formed in the Southern Territory to deal with the tide of orcs. defensive alliance.

Moreover, based on the Severton Covenant, the Severton Parliament cannot interfere with the alliance between territories.

But after the sanctions of the Seven Towers are implemented, the Verdant Tower Alliance will actually exist in name only.
