Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2017 Sudden Accidental Independent Argument
Early the next morning, Xia Duo was still trying to analyze the consciousness information of those mysterious spellcasters. Although he could not fully analyze it, he also got some definite information.

For example, those mysterious spellcasters are indeed demon descendants, and they are from different countries. Except for Sluvand and Akola, all other elf countries in the Northern Alliance have a share.

Xia Duo can understand without the Akoala elves. After all, Akoala has been closed to the outside world a long time ago, and the limited opening is just a matter of one or two years.

but--

Without the Sruvande elf, he was very puzzled. Could it be that the Sruvande had already interrogated the information of those demon-born spellcasters, and found out that it was from Sruvande, and then disposed of it by itself?
But it doesn't make sense, since those magic-born casters have never been out of Xia Duo's sight since they appeared, if Sluwende can do some secret operations on the bottom line of his eyelids, he won't stay Such a big flaw.

If you carry yourself out, you will be caught by everyone, and if you carry yourself too clean, you will attract suspicion.

Perhaps in response to what Sepetia said before, the problem of the upper-level demons in Sruvand has been eliminated, so there are no Sruvand elves among the demon-born spellcasters who tried to intervene in the war between the two countries this time.

But in any case, it is an iron fact that the devils have penetrated into the Northern Alliance.

……

Time soon came to the morning. Originally, Xia Duo didn't intend to participate in or just watch today's multi-party meeting. He planned to concentrate on analyzing the collected copies of consciousness as soon as possible.

But a sudden news disrupted his original plan. Badigal personally sent a message to inform Xia Duo of an assassination incident in Yeerlan last night.

"Assassination again?!"

Xia Duo was deeply shocked by this, not only because the identity of the assassin was a demon, but also because the assassination took place in Taivimansa, the capital of Yeerlan, and he killed a man who was at his peak in public. High Mage.

The information Badigal learned was quite detailed, and there were even eyewitness reports at the scene. According to eyewitnesses at the scene, the assassin was able to get close to the high mage only by disguising as a servant serving wine.

During the assassination, the witnesses only saw a burst of black mist, and then there was the scream of the high mage, and the final news of his death.

"How can we be sure that the assassin is a demon?"

"Of course outsiders like us who weren't there couldn't be sure, but Ye'erlan stopped the assassin almost immediately after the assassination. The unique evil power of the demons, the news was first spread by the ambassadors of the northern countries to Taivi Mansa, so it should be true."

When Badigal said this, Xia Duo also believed most of it. After all, the Netheril ambassador of Tavimansa is a member of the Seven Towers. He should personally confirm the authenticity of the news when reporting to the higher authorities.

Even if he is not sure, there are envoys from other countries, so it should not be difficult to draw a preliminary conclusion.

The only pity is that the assassin was not caught. If he could be caught, he should be able to discover the secret behind the assassin by using the [Consciousness Cage] to extract the copy.

Knowing the identity of a demon is not very useful now, at least for Xia Duo.

But this is completely different for Ye Erlan.

……

Xia Duo still did not participate in the following meeting, but he also watched with the help of magic.

Perhaps it was due to the loss of a high-ranking mage by an assassin just now, the commander of Ye Erlan, Adariel, kept a straight face the whole time, and from time to time, he uttered vulgar words of cursing the demons during the meeting.

But none of the other representatives at the scene raised any objections. After all, he had just experienced something bad, and he had to let him vent.

This matter is indeed a bad thing, but Ye Erlan used it to win sympathy, which can be regarded as a disguised proof that he has nothing to do with the demons.

After all, no country is so stupid as to use the death of a high-ranking mage in his prime to prove anything.

Perhaps because they also felt the threat of the demons, the negotiations in the morning went surprisingly smoothly. Before entering the topic, the representatives of various countries finalized the establishment of the demons' information sharing platform.

It was not like at the dinner party yesterday, when Ye Erlan was asked to give up the right to review the demons on the grounds that the demons had infiltrated seriously before agreeing to continue the negotiation.

Although only a preliminary framework agreement has been reached so far, the information sharing platform has been quickly "online"——

The Northland Alliance headquarters has opened up a private information exchange space in the alliance fanlock covering the Northland, which is only linked by a specific interface.

As for the subsequent formulation of more specific rules on the use and maintenance of the information sharing platform, you can take your time.

This shows the vigilance of all countries against the infiltration of demons, as well as the determination to completely eliminate the infiltration of demons!

In the ensuing negotiations, the representatives of various countries did not unanimously target Yeerlan like yesterday. It is true that they can continue to target now, but it seems more important to solve the threat of the demons.

It was also at this time that Badigal proposed in a timely manner, "As for the final ownership of the southern area of ​​​​Sruvend, I think both parties can take a step back and take the city of Terminos as the boundary, and directly return the north to Sruven. De, the south-"

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sepetia on the spot - "The south is also the inherent territory of Sluvand!"

There was a hint of displeasure in Badigal's eyes, but he still patiently explained, "The elves advocate freedom and respect the people's choices. Maybe the south of Terminos City belonged to the territory of Shruvand before the war, but now , the people there voluntarily gave up the identity of Sluvand, I hope Elder Sepetiya will recognize this fact."

Although what Badigal said was not completely accurate, it was still part of the truth. The area south of Terminos City quickly surrendered to Yeerlan at the beginning of the war.

Maybe Sruvand can say that it was planned by Yeerlan, but that area was greatly influenced by Yeerlan, and after the "referendum" incident, it is an indisputable fact that it is separated from other areas in Sruvend.

Even if Sluvande takes it back, it will be difficult to go back to the past, so why not——

Badigal continued: "But Yeerlan's battle does not conform to the Northern Land Alliance Charter. There is nothing wrong with expanding the territory, but it cannot be done in a way that hurts other countries. If all countries follow suit in the future, the Northern Land Alliance Charter will It is no different from waste paper.

"Therefore, I suggest that since the area south of Terminos voluntarily gave up the status of Sruvand, and because of the constitution of the Northland Alliance, it is impossible to join Yeerlan, it is better to establish an independent country. Isn't this how all the countries in the Northland came here in the first place! "

"Independent founding?"

In fact, the representatives of various countries had already faintly heard rumors that Netheril intended to promote the independence of the southern region of Sruvand, but they did not expect to establish an independent country.

Sepetia was even more dissatisfied at the moment, and immediately confronted him: "Don't you, Lord Badigal, worry that the lords all over Netheril are becoming independent?"

"I am worried, but what I am more worried about is that the Seven Towers are unable to maintain the Severton Covenant. If there is a day when lords from all over the world become independent, it will not be their fault, but the fault of the Seven Towers. I fully support this! Of course in Prior to this, as long as the relevant provisions of the Severton Covenant are met, the Nether Lords can also declare independence."
