Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2039 Lobbying refused
Although the Lord of Radiance may become a solid backing for the main plane or Netheril, Shaduo still has great vigilance against the Illuminati.

After sending away God Envoy Ted, Xia Duo was not going to meet with the representatives of other countries anymore, so he just told Brundes about the reminder from Pasetia just now, and asked him to notify the Northern Alliance to send someone here to guard the holy seal .

Of course, the holy seal itself has great power, and it may be able to directly contact Pasetia, but it is only for the sake of insurance that mortals are allowed to take care of it.

The time is not long, as long as there are no accidents in the next six months, then the hidden danger of the abyss here will be completely resolved.

……

Back in Floating Void City, Xia Duo was thinking that he could finally go home, but he didn't want to receive another invitation from Badigal, Xia Duo couldn't help sighing:

"I really don't have a moment to spare!"

He sent Badigal the pass key of the Floating Void City teleportation circle, and after a while, Xia Duo saw him in Hengchun Square.

As soon as they met, Badigal opened his heart and told the current embarrassment of the Seven Towers: "The Shruvand War ended too abruptly, and the Seven Towers are not yet fully prepared for Master Yerevan's ascension ceremony.

"The situation in Sruvand was tense before, and the focus of all countries was on the war, and they didn't pay much attention to Netheril's actions. But with the end of the war, it is inevitable that all countries will pay attention to Netheril again."

"The Lord Badigal means—"

In fact, Xia Duo had already guessed Badigal's intention, but there is still a big difference between him saying this kind of thing and Badigal saying it.

And Badigal could also see that Xia Duo had guessed his reason for coming, but wasn't the reason why he came here just to tell it himself?Otherwise, why come here in person!

So he stopped making rounds and put forward his own needs:
"Although the countries have not raised any objections at the moment, ascension to the gods is a relatively sensitive event after all. No one can predict what the attitudes of the countries will be when the ceremony begins. Therefore, I would like to ask Lord Xia Duo to publicly support Master Yerevan's ascension. god."

Xia Duo supported Yerevan's ascension to God before, but at that time, his support was more inclined to "no objection". If he wants to support it publicly now, the score cannot be settled like before.

In addition, publicly supporting Master Yerevan's ascension to the gods also means that the Seven Towers are preparing to make the plan of ascension to the gods public, so that the outside world and even the people of Nether can know the inside story.

Is this really good?
Xia Duo told Badigal about his doubts, and his explanation for this was——

"There is a precedent for the princess. It is not difficult for the public to accept mortal ascension to the gods, but they will be more willing to support it. In addition, making the ascension of the gods public is also to avoid future competition for the ascension of the gods beyond the limit and cause unnecessary losses."

Badigal's answer was almost without hesitation. Obviously, this was not a temporary idea, but a more careful consideration before coming here. If there is no accident, it should have been discussed and passed within the Seven Towers.

Xia Duo thought about it carefully, and believed that disclosing the inside story of Ascension God would indeed help the orderly competition within Netheril, but it would also make it easier to form the so-called "Order of Ascension God"—that is, "the prototype of the god system".

This may be a good thing for the currently high-ranking spellcasters, but it may not be a good thing for the future of Netheril or even the entire main plane.

Once a god system is formed, it will almost 100% inhibit the development of magic civilization.

Because this is a "mutated" god, not a "god-level existence" naturally produced within civilization.

Although Xia Duo can be regarded as a vested interest now, and as long as he wants to, he can occupy a "divine position" with greater potential in advance, but his ideal is not to become a god, but to explore the limits of nature and civilization.

Becoming a god may become an intermediate step in the process of realizing his ideal, but if it is not suitable, he will not create obvious difficulties for the greater goal in order to achieve this intermediate step.

What I'm talking about is that at present, the great arcanists headed by the Seven Towers of Netheril may have reached a subjective consensus on building the "Order of Ascension". Xia Duo did not directly and publicly express his opposition due to his own development needs, but wanted to Ask him to support, he can only say that he can't do it.

And he also tried to persuade Badigal: "It may be suspected of blasphemy to disclose the inside story of the ascension to the gods. If the gods are angry about it, I am afraid it is not something that a mere Netheril can bear."

This is also a very real problem, but Xia Duo is very pessimistic and thinks that if Badigal can openly talk to him about the issue of raising the gods to the public, he probably has already considered this issue.

It is even possible that through the princess, the pioneer of Ascension, some definite guarantees were obtained in favor of making Ascension public.

Such speculation made Xiaduo feel more dissatisfied with the current and future environment of Netheril, and this also strengthened his determination to "seize civilization".

Sure enough, Badigal almost immediately gave an ambiguous but meaningful answer to Xia Duo's tentative persuasion: "The gods will not be angry about such trivial things!"

So Xia Duo could only use Iolum as a shield, "Personally, I support Master Yerevan's ascension to the gods, but I must consider the identity of the teacher. Public support is really against the principle of neutrality. Please don’t mention this matter again.”

Xia Duo is very clear that if there is no floating city, even if he is a student of Iolum, the other party probably will not come to ask him to publicly support the Ascension God (Erevan's Ascension God has been considered as the order of the Ascension God through the game of all parties. materialized).

But who made Floating Void City perform so well recently!Even Xia Duo thought about whether Brundes had just summoned him to summon the envoy, and then the envoy reported the situation of recruiting the envoy.

Maybe the Seven Towers still have the idea of ​​asking him to summon the envoy, and then use the Lord of Radiance as an endorsement!
It's not that Xia Duoduo thinks about it, but that politicians have dark hearts. Badigal, who is now succeeding the princess as the speaker of the Seven Towers, is obviously not the Badigal that Xia Duo met during the snowmelt competition.

……

Xia Duo refused very simply, and many words that Badigal had prepared were blocked, but this result was barely within his expectation.

"Since Lord Xiaduo wants to practice Master Iolum's principle of neutrality, let's let it go if he publicly supports Ascension to God! But if other countries have actions against Netheril, I hope Lord Xiaduo will not hesitate to help."

"This can be."

Xia Duo didn't refuse again this time, but whether there is support for this kind of thing is not the key, but whether it is timely is the key.

In fact, Xia Duo very much hoped that the Northern Alliance would come up with a treaty restricting ascension to the gods, but right now the elves may still want to watch another ascension ceremony to determine the feasibility of mortal ascension to the gods.

If it is determined that it is feasible, there will be no institutional restrictions in the future, unless only Netheril or a certain party has an advantage.
