Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2122 Take in Grand Vizier
However, judging from the villager's begging attitude, Xia Duo felt that the sink in the cellar might not be connected to any desert spring, but that girl was maintaining it.

They even inferred maliciously that it might be because of the accidental discovery that the girl had awakened the blood of the water element that these villagers chose to hide outside the oasis.

As for the group of sand robbers, even if it wasn't for the support of the surrounding pashas, ​​it might not be so easy for those pashas to wipe them out.

Speaking of which, this is not the first time that Xia Duo has seen sand bandits in the desert of Calimshan, and it often happens that two oases fight each other.

It's just that this time, there are more villagers who are enforcing revenge on the girl who has heard about the source of life for them, and Niya happened to see it, so Xia Duo paid attention.

In fact, in this desert, I don't know how many situations are worse than that girl!

The evil of the system is the root of all evils. Even if Xia Duo took care of this matter at Niya's request, as long as the regime of Karin Shansir Pasha does not fall, today's scene will last forever in this land. Repeat endlessly.

Xia Duo himself has a bottom line and ideals, but the reality even says that his current awareness cannot support him to project this part of his ideals beyond the people he can influence.

But no matter what, he still has to support Nya's compassion for ordinary people, but after taking all the people in that village to the floating city and temporarily stagnating, Xia Duo also asked Nya one question:
"You saw that girl just now, so I intervened. But in other corners of this world, similar incidents may have happened countless times, and they will continue to repeat countless times in the future. The significance of you being able to save this one is huge. Where is it?"

Regarding this question, Xia Duo did not ask Niya to give him an answer immediately, but said that he would have a good chat on this topic after the trip was over.

……

Soon, the floating city arrived in the sky above Karim.

After approaching Xia Duo, it turned out that the palace of Sil Pasha was hidden in a cloud in this airspace, which was called "Cloud Palace".

It's just that although Fadilla invited him in the name of Sil Pasha (later called the Great Emperor) this time, the person who actually received him was not the Great Emperor himself as he thought at first, but Karinshan Grand Vizier (equivalent to Prime Minister, Prime Minister, Consul, later called Consul).

Therefore, the reception place is not the cloud palace that Xia Duo expected, but in a palace with pointed vaults in Kalim City. Grand Consul Fahd, wearing a loose white robe, received Xia many.

"Welcome the guests from the north!"

"It's a great honor to be invited by the great emperor. Karim left a deep impression on me, and my wife also likes the architectural style here."

"It is also an honor for Calinshan to be affirmed by Lord Xiaduo and his wife."

Fahd's Nether language was very bad and all kinds of blunt. Xia Duo seriously doubted whether he was repeating the translation. In fact, it might not be far from his guess. He proposed to communicate in Elvish language.

Xia Duo has nothing to do. In his opinion, the expression of Nether language is not as rich as that of Elven language. Especially for mages, they often need to borrow words from Elvish language, so that they can prepare to express what they want to express. .

Fahd's elf language is relatively smooth, and compared with Fadilla he has seen before, he has no special accent from Calishan at all.

If you don't look at the other person's appearance, and at the same time the other party claims to be an elf, even Xia Duo, who has a full understanding of elf society and elf language, will not have the slightest doubt.

Of course, Xia Duo would not suspect that the other party was an elf in disguise. After all, what he can do by himself, why do he think that others must not be able to do it?
In Netheril alone, he knows more than one person who is more proficient in Elvish language than he is. The Grand Consul of Calimshan can speak Elvish language fluently, and has extremely profound knowledge of various elves' code words and rhetoric. The mastery is also completely understandable.

"Lord Xiaduo, Calinshan is located in the southern part of the mainland, and has a completely different living environment from the northern land, but our demands for development are the same, and we may have more opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Naturally, it is impossible to exchange shallow words when meeting for the first time. From the beginning to the end, Fahd basically repeated what Fadilla said about Karinshan before, but added some expressions of wanting to cooperate with Beidi.

But after Xia Duo saw the actual situation in Calimshan, he became firmer in his previous thoughts. The gradually solid Northland Alliance does not need to be involved with any country in the south for the time being.

Not to mention that there is Katemir between the two sides. If there is any cooperation, Xia Duo is worried that Calinshan is going to attack from north to south.

Now that the prince of Katemir is being assassinated in Calimshan, perhaps Calimshan is anxious to take care of such an ally who can share the pressure!
Therefore, it is impossible for Xia Duo to promise anything to the other party. Even when expressing his attitude towards the topic of cooperation between the Northland Alliance and Calinshan, he was very cautious to ensure that he would not leave any talk.

Fortunately, he had also been baptized by various classic diplomatic rhetoric before crossing, and all kinds of routines basically came out of his mouth. First, he read a paragraph of the alliance concept that had been prepared in the Northern Land Alliance Charter, and then emphasized what Netheril said. I respect the principle of neutrality, and finally I would like to say that I am only here for tourism, so I don't have much influence on the Seven Towers.

He could see the almost unconcealable disappointment in Fahd's eyes after hearing these words, and this also made Xia Duo feel a little disappointed.

Sure enough, it's been too long!

……

After the meeting, Fahd asked Xia Duo to arrange a palace near the sea as his temporary residence during his stay in Karim.

Xia Duo was very satisfied with this residence. After the servants left, he walked up to the terrace on the third floor. Looking at the sparkling bay, he relaxed a lot from his depressed mood.

It's just that this rare quiet atmosphere didn't last long, and a servant came to ask for instructions after a while—Prince Tarafu of the Mered family asked to see him.

Talaf was the Calishan envoy who made friends with Xiaduo in Evereska on the founding day of the Northland Alliance and invited them.

Of course, the identity of the prince is because the Mai Ruide family also has the title of "Pasha", but only the patriarch of the Mai Ruide family can be called "Pasha", and others can only be called princes, princesses, princes, and wives.

Xia Duo was actually not surprised by Tarafu's arrival, how could a Pasha family be dealt with before the war!
If you really want to deal with it, at least it will be possible after the war between Calimshan and Ketmir is unfavorable.

As for whether or not to see the other party, Xia Duo was actually a little conflicted in his heart. On the one hand, the other party must have come here with troubles, and there is a high probability that he would think that he was involved in it.

On the other hand, Talaf did help him before, although it was not a big help, but he had a certain amount of friendship, and he couldn't see each other when he came to see him, which was not in line with Xia Duo's principle of doing things.
