Lord of Arcane

Chapter 187 Unifying the Mind
"My lord, maybe we can contact the elves from Conifera City, and then resolve it through discussion."

Business Director Derrick suggested.

His field is business, and he has not dealt with elves once or twice. Derrick knows very well that elves, who seem far away and unapproachable to outsiders, are actually no different from humans in essence.

There are elves who are hostile to the territory, of course there can be ones who are close to the territory.As for the so-called settlement through negotiation, it is only out of the instinct of businessmen.

The words of the business director reminded Lord Epps that he died in the territory of Felbers, and that the Liadon Chamber of Commerce had a good relationship with the elves.

So the elves who opposed the territory this time came for Felbus?If not, it seems that Mrs. Patty can help to send a message to the elves.

Lord Epps calculated various possibilities in his mind, and then the military director Ke Yan also put forward his own views, but his views were much more radical.

"My lord, I think the territory must enter a state of combat readiness. Not only can the patrols in the Green Pearl Forest not be stopped, but they must also be stepped up. I suggest that the casters of the Tower of Time be invited to participate in the patrols. Elves are not men of steel, and they also need to Rest, eat, as long as you force him out, you can kill him."

These words almost made everyone in the conference room frown. The low-level people may think that the elves are beautiful and elegant, but they can all come into contact with the reality of the world.

The truth is that there is no purely beautiful and elegant creature, and if there is no strong strength, beauty and elegance itself is a disaster.

And the elves can have such a status today, not because of the mercy of human beings.

After hearing this, Lord Epps shook his head in his heart. Ke Yan still knew too little about the caster. If he could not guarantee his own safety, that unknown elf mage would not reveal his existence at all.

However, Lord Epps still likes the fighting spirit of his followers very much. The key moment is to dare to fight, so he said:

"Ke Yaen, your idea is very good, but there are no spellcasters for the time being. I will let Sean open the first armory, give priority to the patrol team to equip it, and report back immediately when encountering elves. The soldiers in the territory are not worthless consumables. I will Send spellcasters to fight."

The lord's support made Ke Yaen happy, but he also felt great pressure. The so-called first armory contained the most sophisticated equipment that the territory could obtain, including a small amount of magic equipment.

Seeing the lord's attitude, other people also understood it, and expressed their opinions one after another. Most of them were inclined to head-on with the elves.

But the real thoughts in the lord's heart, only he himself knows.

At the end of the meeting, no rigorous plan was discussed, but it roughly unified the thoughts of all the leaders in the territory, laying a psychological foundation for possible conflicts in advance.

However, when he returned to the Mage Tower after the meeting, Lord Epps still expressed his true intentions to Eberke, "The risk of going to war with the elves is too great. If everything goes well with Conifera, it may not happen. conflict."

"But Epps, the elves took the initiative to come here this time. It's not up to us to decide." Eberke was quite cautious and worried about this matter.

"When my grandfather opened up the Savile Territory back then, elves also came to stop it. In the end, with the mediation of the Silver Leaf Family, it was successfully opened up. The current situation may be the same as before."

"But now, Epps, you are not a grand arcanist!"

Eberke's words stung Lord Epps, but he also knew that Eberke didn't mean any sarcasm, but was very worried, "Abeck, don't worry, Her Royal Highness Princess will also send someone to come to the ceremony ten days later. , and Archmage Auron, the elves will not act rashly."

"What about [Blessings of Pleasure]? Others are calling, don't tell me, Epps, you still have absurd illusions of peace?" Abuke's words were quite blunt.

"Abeck, you—" Lord Epps sighed. Running a territory is not just about fighting and killing. It would be a pleasure to start a war rashly, but the final result is unpredictable!
At this moment, Lord Epps hated himself extremely, why couldn't he become a grand arcanist with powerful power like his grandfather?

"Ebuke, this matter is settled for the time being. As long as the other party stops provoking, we will use peaceful means to deal with it as much as possible."

Lord Epps patted Eberke on the shoulder, and left on his own, leaving Eberke standing there alone, thinking for a long time.

……

On the other hand, Xia Duo enjoyed the blessing of a sense of crisis for a few days, and his spellcasting training progressed by leaps and bounds. Although he could not catch up with his accumulated experience for the time being, he felt that he had improved a lot.

This morning, as soon as the practice with Niya's mentor ended, Ganal couldn't wait to leave, perhaps because he already knew that his younger brother didn't have much time, and Ganal came and went in a hurry every day these days.

But Xia Duo, who was also about to leave, was stopped by Niya, "Teacher, what else can I order?"

Niya had a weird expression, hesitating to speak, Xia Duo secretly thought something was wrong, this kind of expression was not good at first glance, and immediately wanted to avoid it.

"Teacher, if there is nothing else, I will go back first. There are still many things to deal with over there."

After finishing speaking, Xia Duo wanted to run away, but was called back by Niya with a "wait a minute".

"tutor?"

"Xia Duo——" Niya was still hesitant at this time. A few days ago, she personally told Xia Duo not to leave the Mage Tower in the near future, but she turned around and wanted him to go out.

But this was what her father ordered, and Niya refused, but failed. Now she has to break the original words, "Xia Duo, I have a task for you."

really!Xia Duo knew that there was nothing good to do, but he couldn't refuse, "Teacher, please tell me."

"I want you to leave the Mage Tower and invite Mrs. Patty to the Mage Tower."

Isn't it very simple?What's the problem?Xia Duo was a little puzzled. Furthermore, for the inviter of the Mage Tower, did he need to be invited by an official mage like him?

Just because he is Mrs. Patty's personal mage advisor?So what is the real identity of Mrs. Patty?

Xia Duo hasn't thought about Niya's difficulties for the time being. One is that although he remembers Nya's warning before, he will not stick to it. If he is asked to go out, can he still object?
Moreover, he didn't think that leaving the Mage Tower would be dangerous. If the safety of the town could not be guaranteed, then the Savile leader would be finished long ago.

"No problem, mentor, but I can't guarantee whether Mrs. Patty will come."

"It's okay, you can just invite me, and you don't have to be responsible for the follow-up." In fact, Niya was also a little dissatisfied with her father's behavior.

The murderer who killed Felbers has not been caught so far, and he even wanted to suppress the matter before, but now that the other party is going to be used, and he can't bear to go in person, he can only embarrass her apprentice!
And Xia Duo agreed to leave the Mage Tower without thinking, and didn't mention what he warned a few days ago, which made Niya feel relieved, and also had a little more affection for this obedient apprentice.

If Xia Duo brought it up, then she would lose face to the alien side.

Of course, if Xia Duo can win a better ranking in the arcane competition, then Niya will be even happier!
