Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2057 Changes in Yeerlan

If the arcane garden in the mage tower is only for such an additional plantable area, it is actually unnecessary. Only the growth circle is built to be of practical value.

The several farms in the floating city have vast land, so it is not necessary to build a growth circle, but whether to have it or not is completely different.

However, in a short period of time, Xia Duo only planned the growth circle of the first farm to alleviate the food shortage in the territory, and the other farms can be considered later.

Of course, what Xia Duo really meant was that when there are more high-level mages in the Tower of Time, these things can be handed over to those high-level mages.

This can not only exercise their practical ability, but also prevent them from being idle and doing nothing.

……

After a day's rest, Xia Duo brought Cecily to prepare the growth circle materials in advance, and came to the first farm. Savile and Niya came to help.

But when the three of them were busy until noon, news came from the Seven Towers that they would send Brunders to deliver some important news.

As a last resort, Xia Duo could only temporarily return to the Tower of Time. As for the work on the First Farm, he could only trouble Savile and Niya first.

The Tower of Time, the reception room.

At that time, Xia Duo saw Brundes pacing back and forth in the room. He seemed very anxious, and at the moment he had some guesses about the purpose of the other party's visit.

"Director Blunders, I haven't seen you for a few days, what orders does the Seven Towers have?"

"Lord Xiaduo was joking. This time, he was ordered to ask Lord Xiaduo to go to Severton on the first day of next year to participate in Master Yerevan's ascension ceremony."

"The first day of tomorrow?"

When Xia Duo heard it, he was inevitably a little shocked, "Has the time for the final ceremony been fixed?"

"Yes. In fact, judging from the whole process of the Ascension Ceremony, the ceremony had already begun when I set off here."

"I see, what else can you tell me from the Seven Towers?"

"This--"

Blunders hesitated for a moment, with a look of struggle on his face, and finally said: "Master Horn, let me tell you, if it is convenient, you can come to Severton a few days in advance."

Although Brunders did not say some things clearly, but combined with his previous experience in Sluvande, Xia Duo can fully guess that Horn asked him to come over a few days in advance, either to deal with some problems or for the Seven Towers. Ascension God Order platform.

Xia Duo didn't want to choose either, so he shied away and said, "I'm busy with the construction of the floating city recently, I'm afraid it's hard to separate myself, but I will not miss Master Yerevan's Ascension Ceremony."

Not only would Xiaduo not be absent from Master Yerevan's Ascension Ceremony, but most of the other great arcanists in Netheril would not be absent.

However, the attitude of the elves towards Netheril's second ascension ceremony may be known by that day.

……

Soon after discussing the business, the two sides exchanged some of the latest information they had as usual. Of course, on Xia Duo's side, it was mainly Brunders who said, and he listened.

"The domestic turmoil in Yeerlan has gradually subsided. According to what we have learned, King Helien intends to make concessions to his opponents in order to complete the real unification of Yeerlan as soon as possible."

"Does Director Brundes know what specific concessions are there?"

"I know, even if I don't say anything, Lord Xiaduo should receive relevant news after a while."

Blunders managed to force a smile, and continued: "Originally, King Helien of Erlan wanted to establish a system similar to the ruling advisory group of Ilfaron.

"It's just that the real power of Ilfaran's ruling advisory group is greater than that of the Crown Prince, but Helien wants to use the name of the advisory group to truly grasp the absolute power of Yerlan.

"But now King Helian has given up his previous plan due to the recent defeat in the war, and instead compromised with the opponents, drawing experience from Cormanthor and Ilfaran respectively, setting up mage leaders, war commanders, and a team that includes various The Tall Tree Elder Council of the Fang faction.

"If I remember correctly, there was a council of tall tree elders in Ye'erlan before? Is there any difference between this one and the previous one?" Xia Duo asked.

"Lord Xia Duo remembers correctly. The previous Gaoshu Elder Council also included all forces. The difference lies in the actual power."

Brundes further explained: "In the past, the Council of Elders of the High Trees in Yeerland was actually just a quarrel place for various upper families to vent their dissatisfaction and had no real power. Now, the Council of Elders of the High Trees that King Helien wants to establish has The power to formulate new rules, as long as the Gaoshu Elders’ Council approves, Mian Wang must also obey, and at the same time has the power and responsibility to supervise Mian Wang.”

"Then what is the difference between it and Ilfaran's ruling advisory group?" Xia Duo asked again.

"There is a big difference. The ruling advisory group of Ilfaran is in charge of almost everything in Ilfaran. The crowned king only has the power to supervise, while the Yeerlan High Tree Elder Council can only formulate new rules and supervise the crowned king. The Crown Prince of Ye'erlan is the one with most of the real power."

"I see."

Xia Duo understood all at once. Centralization of power was almost an inevitable choice for Yeerlan to integrate the forces of all parties in the country. However, King Helien initially wanted to use the name of the advisory group to centralize all power in his own hands. Ruwend lost the war, so he had to compromise, but even so, Helien still held far more power than the crowned king of Ilfaran.

But no matter what, Yeerlan finally started the process of centralizing power. From this perspective, the defeat in the Sluvand war may not be a bad thing for them.

Of course, for Xia Duo, this may not be a good thing.

If you want to come to the Seven Towers, you will feel great pressure. Before switching to Netheril, although there were many conflicts of interests that were difficult to ease with Ye Erlan, but with some high-ranking families in Ye Erlan, they maintained relatively good opportunities.

After all, Ye Erlan's interests are not equal to the interests of the superior family, and the collective interests of the superior family are not necessarily equal to the interests of a particular family.

But once the centralization of power is completed, it will be difficult for the upper families in Yeerlan to have any public interest involvement with Netheril, and it will be done by Yeerlan officials.

As for private, because of the centralization of power, Yeerlan will inevitably restrict and even punish this. Compared with the past, the price is much higher.

But compared to the domestic changes in Yeerlan, Xia Duo is more worried about whether the Seven Towers will be stimulated by this, and what centralization reforms will be carried out in Netheril.

Although this is indeed beneficial to Netheril as a whole in the long run, Xia Duo does not have much approval for Netheril. Once the seven towers implement centralized reforms, what should the great Xia leader do?

Even if Xia Duo now has a floating city, the floating city is not omnipotent. The reason why Xia Duo's floating city can act as a deterrent is largely because it belongs to Netheril. I'm afraid the first one will jump out and trouble him.
