Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1954 Breaking the filter and paying the fine in advance
It is not difficult to surpass elves in strength, but it is not so easy to surpass elves in thought and spirit.

It can be said that the reason why Netheril can appear is inseparable from the elves.

For a long time, in the eyes of most Nether people, elves have always been cast with a layer of deification, powerful, wise, noble, and even enlightened and outstanding. All positive descriptions can be used on elves.

If this pair of positive "colored glasses" see your own people, that's fine, but if you see potential powerful competitors, it's not good.

Spiritually, it is natural to be a dwarf, this is not something that a normal civilization should do!

Xia Duo wants to break the deification filter of elves, and let the people know that elves are just another kind of human beings with a different appearance from them, and they are also mortal things, not some superior and perfect race.

What the elves can do, humans can do the same; what the elves can't do, humans can too!
A correct understanding of the essence of elves and the relationship between humans and elves is the basis for future magical civilization not to lag behind elves in terms of ideology and spirit.

Xia Duo has been making efforts in this area, in addition to holding various exhibitions in the territory, so that the citizens are familiar with the daily life of elves.

The elves of the Silverleaf family who had already settled in Savile Town were also often invited to the territory to participate in various activities held by the government affairs hall, which were actually for the citizens to see.

When the Cormanthor refugees flooded into the Savile Territory in the early days of the Drow War, many Saviles saw it, but the people of the Great Xia Territory did not experience it. Although they have heard of it, they have not seen it with their own eyes. thing.

If he could bring back a group of elf refugees, moreover the legendary golden elves, Xia Duo could almost imagine the shock of the citizens.

If this kind of thing happens more times, coupled with the repeated publicity of the real situation of the elf society, it will be just around the corner to break the filter in the minds of the people!

……

But since Hechenis had clearly mentioned that the Severnton council would not allow the Sluvand elves to leave Severnton, then Xia Duo temporarily rested his mind.

After all, accepting refugees involves both Sluvand and Yeerlan, which is still somewhat sensitive.

If everything goes well in Iolum, Xia Duo may not fail to meet a group of elf refugees who need shelter when he drives the floating city equipped with strategic weapons to Sruvand!

Now there are less than a few, it would be more convenient to meet by chance.

Therefore, Xia Duo did not continue on the topic of elf refugees, but instead asked about the situation at Sluvand:
"Director Hatchenis, you just said that some of the Shruvande refugees on the Sevington side are real refugees. Does that mean that there has been a fight over there?"

"There hasn't been a real fight yet, but the army sent by Ye'erlan has been taking over the cities of Shruvand!" Haichenis replied.

"Is it possible to escape in this situation?" Xia Duo asked again.

"Through the descriptions of those refugees, we learned that the Yeerlan army did not impose restrictions on civilians, or even spellcasters. In fact, Lord Xiaduo should have noticed that the word I just said was 'accepting', not 'occupation' !"

"take over?"

If Hatchenis didn't remind, Xia Duo really didn't notice this detail for a while, he just thought that Ye'erlan's offensive was very smooth!
Hearing what Hechenis meant now, it seemed that there was no resistance at all in Sluwende?

In those "received" Shruvand cities, the lives of civilians and even spellcasters are no different from the past, except that the top nationality has been changed.

After thinking for a while, Xia Duo asked again: "Based on the judgment of Director Hechenis, can Sluvende survive this time?"

"It's hard to say. There has not been any rumors from the Northland Alliance. If the countries agree to the invitation of Sluvand to jointly develop the ancient fortress, it will definitely have an impact on this war that is not a war. If all countries do not If you react, Nasru Wende is probably going to disappear this time!"

Hearing this, Xia Duo frowned subconsciously. He didn't care if Sluwende was there or not. What he cared about was the first incident of extermination of the country within the Northern Alliance, which would be a bad start.

It will even make the Northland Alliance exist in name only, and the Northland will return to the previous state of original confrontation.

This is not a good thing for the rising Netheril, nor is it a good thing for the budding magic civilization.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help raising his doubts: "Did Yeerlan disregard the Northland Alliance's charter? What did the Seven Towers say? Is it inevitable that Komanso's placement of Sluvand in Severton will deliberately intervene in this matter?"

"The Seven Towers will not make a statement for the time being, let alone take the initiative to intervene. The same is true for Danzo. Only Ilfaran and Comanthor seem to be trying to do something. I don't know the specifics. Maybe I will receive it soon. news."

At the end of the interrogation, Hatchenis, who should have waited for Xia Duo to inquire further or to end the conversation, suddenly thought of something, and then sent another message——

"By the way, Ye Erlan has already paid a large sum of super magic fines to the Northland Alliance in advance!"

"..."

The attitudes of the other major countries in the Northern Alliance, except for the Seven Towers, which were a bit beyond Xia Duo's expectations, were not far behind his initial expectations.

Danzo is an underground dwarf country, and he doesn't care much about ground affairs. Unless he goes to the Underdark this time, Danzo should not be biased towards any side.

Irfaran and Yeerlan are close neighbors. Some time ago, a large-scale avalanche suddenly broke out in the Spine of the World mountain range north of Irfaran, and then the crazy orcs started the orc wave ahead of time.

If this matter has nothing to do with Ye Erlan, Xia Duo would not believe it even if he beat him to death, let alone the fact that the existence of Sluwende itself is a restraint on Ye Erlan.

Yi Erlan should not let Ye Erlan eliminate the hidden dangers around him so easily!
As for Comanthor, there is still a huge Netheril between Yeerlan. If you really want to intervene, it may be beyond your reach, but as the most powerful country in the Northern Alliance, it should not be a shit-stirring stick. hard.

And this is also in the interests of Cormanthor, at least before he unifies the Listar Forest, he should minimize the integration of external elf forces.

From Comanthor's point of view, it is best for the outside forces to fall apart, and only wait for the only true king of the elf world in the prophecy to unify the Ristal Forest first, and then recover the outside one by one.

As for the "Yerlan paid the super magic fine to the Northland Alliance in advance" that Hechenis specifically mentioned, it never appeared in Xia Duo's expectation.

But Ye Erlan is willing to pay the fine, at least it shows that they are still willing to respect the order of the Northern Alliance, and perhaps they want to remind the other major countries in this way——

First, I’m serious this time, please don’t interfere with me; second, I’ve already paid the super magic fine, so just pretend you didn’t see it, and you can play like this in the future.

As for whether the extermination of the country would violate the constitution of the Northland Alliance.

Knowing that Ye Erlan is willing to pay the super magic fine, Xia Duo speculates that although Ye Erlan is playing for real this time, she should still retain the name of Sluwende, and treat it as a pure puppet.

Or countries that only exist on relevant documents!
