Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1834 Equity Buyback
"Join the Council of Elders?"

Xia Duo's first reaction was yes, but he immediately denied the idea. His current identity cannot withstand scrutiny. Joining the Council of Elders is tantamount to being put under the spotlight and subject to various tests.

Xia Duo is not too worried about other things. What worries him most is Sha Erwen. The spell of Schilling's incarnation comes from Sha Er Wen, and it belongs to Schilling alone. He is very worried about being recognized.

Schilling's body is still on Sharvin's side and can't move easily. Once it is recognized, there will be many more variables out of thin air.

Furthermore, the current Evereska Council of Elders has eleven members. If he is added, it will become twelve. Than 6, that is also troublesome.

Of course, the latter problem is not so serious in Xia Duo's view. Evereska's independence is not a sure path to success. In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a beheading.

Under such circumstances, Ogus and the others can still conclude a covenant. Presumably, the thinking in all aspects is very close, and it is difficult for there to be differences of opinion that are close to splitting.

But this is also a possibility, although this possibility is much smaller than Xia Duo being recognized by the Salvin elves.

After thinking about it, Xia Duo still rejected Ogus. Of course, he did not mention the two issues he was worried about, but said:
"Elder Ogos, I don't like all kinds of daily affairs, and I prefer to devote my time to magic research. Of course, I know that Evereska is at a critical moment, and I am willing to do something more practical. "

In addition, Xia Duo also proposed to join the covenant, which he believes is what Ogus is more concerned about.

Although at the level of a high mage, words represent an oath to a large extent, but it is safer to have covenant restrictions, especially in some major events.

"Master Athos, the covenant is easy to talk about, but please reconsider joining the council of elders. I believe other companions will agree!"

"Well, I'll think about it."

Saying that considering is actually refusing, Xia Duo believes that Ogus can understand.

……

Next, Xia Duo didn't chat with Ogus any more. He had already talked about what he had just talked about. If he went deeper, he would touch the actual affairs of Evereska. The covenant has not yet been concluded, so he still has some sense of propriety. of.

Of course, Ogus was also very measured, and when he realized that the topic was coming to an end, he resolutely offered to leave, "Master Athos, there is no news from Katnidt, I will go to remind you.

"In addition, I want to introduce you to other companions later, I believe they will be very happy to have another companion."

"Well, then I'll send Elder Ogus off."

Xia Duo knew that what Ogus said later was the key point. The so-called introduction was probably the signing ceremony, and he was also looking forward to it. Things have developed to this point, and it has gone much smoother than he expected. What else does he have? Not satisfied!
……

After Ogus left, Xia Duo continued to organize the Mysuo project, trying to turn the issues involving the floating city into routine issues.

Near noon, the servant mentioned by Ogus arrived, and a moon elf who called himself "Lisa" brought a group of moon elves and a group of wood elves to the gate of Athos Manor.

Xia Duo let them in and didn't care anymore, but the experience of having a waiter pouring sweet tea and preparing meals is not bad.

It's just that Xia Duo's current avatar doesn't need food and drink, and he just tastes something new. Judging from his current perspective, Ogus still cares about him, and the chef's skills he sent are completely up to par Master level.

For other elves such as gardening and weaving, although Xia Duo has not seen their achievements, he can guess one or two, and there is a high probability that they are also masters.

……

As dusk approached, Xia Duo was still sorting out the Mystic project in his study, and he was likely to join Evereska's Mystical project next, so he had to pave the way for an idea as soon as possible.

"Beep bell-"

Xia Duo looked up, and the ornaments on the table made a crisp sound again, but this time it was not a visitor, but a message from Ogus.

Xia Duo opened it casually, and then fell into deep thought.

During the arraignment, Ogus mentioned that Katnidt, the elder of Evereska who is in charge of foreign affairs, had contacted the envoys of the five countries, and that the arrival of the other side was not the testimony and blessing mentioned by Xia Duo when he comforted Ogus during the day. , but claims.

For Evereska, this is actually a good thing. The other party's condition, in Xia Duo's view, is actually acquiescing to the fact that Evereska is about to become independent.

The only point of contention is the amount of compensation.

At the beginning, Evereska existed as a refuge for refugees from the countries of the Northland Elf, so it naturally accepted investment from the countries.

This includes most of the ancient kingdoms, as well as some current countries, even including Shruvand. Although the opponent did not invest during the Crown War, they did invest afterwards.

And even some ancient kingdoms that have long since disappeared in the long river of time, most of them still have remnants left behind.

In the terms of the earth, Evereska is a listed company with very dispersed equity. Now that the company's executives want to privatize the company, or even hold the company, they have to take back the original shares from each shareholder.

Small shareholders can ignore it, but major shareholders can't get around it.

Now the envoys of the five countries are coming together to demand compensation, and they want to recover all the investment in Evereska in the past.

Of course, there are many issues worthy of discussion.

For example, in the past, Evereska also assumed the responsibility of asylum for refugees from various countries. Can this cost offset the investment and how much it can offset?

For another example, Evereska has also sent a lot of talents to various countries over the years, especially some descendants of elves whose motherland died and settled in Evereska, how to calculate this increase.

Even the "shares" owned by various countries can be discussed again. The inheritance of original shares cannot speak for itself, and all lines can be completely clarified with the ability of the caster.

Of course, Xia Duo didn't want to pay too much attention to these nonsense issues. When he knew that the envoys of the five countries were here to demand compensation, he knew that Evereska's independence process had passed a critical point and could really be put on the agenda up.

It’s just that with the efficiency of the elves, Xia Duo is not sure how long this time will take. If it is calculated strictly according to the Independence Day time of the main plane, Evereska, it will take at least one or two hundred years.

"Perhaps Mylock is also an important factor in the delay!"

Thinking in this way, Xia Duo became a little more confident about his next plan. Of course, he was still indifferent to the invitation to the dinner mentioned in the Ogus communication.

The envoys of the five countries will also be present at the dinner, and it will be bad if the envoy of Sharvin finds out.

Although it is also possible to use ordinary force fields and illusion avatars, it would be too rude to use such crude avatars on such occasions, it is better not to go.
