Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2168 Villain's Heart Node Test
Alinthal.

After completing the centralization reform, all internal and external affairs of Ilfaron were concentrated in the hands of the ruling advisory group, and diplomacy was no exception.

However, Tai Lun, who represented Ilfaron to participate in the Northland Alliance Conference this time, is a subordinate of Mian Wang, so this time the advisory group also invited Lorian Mian Wang over.

In the center of the hall, Tyron had projected here early, but what he was facing at the moment was not the crowned king, but the ruling advisory group headed by the chief ruling advisor Wazele.

After listening to Tai Lun's statement, Wazele thought for a moment and discussed with other consultants for a while, before asking: "Master Tai Lun, just now you said that Lord Xiaduo intends to promote the delineation of the borders of the countries in the Northland as soon as possible. ?”

"Yes."

"Then, in your opinion, does the Shadow lord want to use this to expand the current borders of Netheril, or is it purely for the so-called order in the Northland?" Wazele asked again.

"The former is not ruled out, but I think the other party should not have too much selfishness. After all, as long as he is willing, he can ask for whatever he needs. According to the past tradition of the Northland, the powerful have the right to ask for everything."

Tyron's answer made Wazele frowned, and then he changed the subject, "We'll talk about this later, do you think that if our countries unite to put pressure on him, ask for technology related to the floating fortress or he uses it in the south? Will he compromise with that kind of war spell?"

"This—I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

Tai Lun had already said it very euphemistically, but Wazele heard that he could try it, so he asked again: "The ruling advisory group has given you full authorization. How sure are you of doing this?"

"..."

Tai Lun was speechless for a moment, and he glanced in the direction of the crowned king asking for help, but at this time, although the crowned king of Lorien was sitting on the throne, his mind was not at all here. Seeing Tai Lun asking for help, he just A symbolic nod of support.

Tyron had no choice but to bite the bullet and meet Vazel's tough eyes: "Consultant Vazel, I'm afraid you forgot one thing. Just a few days ago, the Shadow lord just destroyed Zamdas in the south. A city guarded by artifacts, do you think Ilfaran is capable of resisting it? Or do you think that the other party's modesty is weakness?"

As a senior mage, if he hadn't been working under Mian Wang, Tai Lun wouldn't even have to stand here and be questioned at will like a criminal being interrogated.

It's just that this time I'm happy, and I will inevitably ask the other party for something in the future, and then I will be distressed.

However, to Tyron's surprise, Wazele did not show any dissatisfaction after hearing his successive rhetorical questions. Instead, he was thoughtful and finally sighed:
"If Ilfaran has mastered such a sharp weapon, I will definitely not bind myself like the other party! There is a remarkable figure among human beings, and perhaps the Northland will change because of him."

At this time, King Mian of Lorien, who was originally in the shape of a wooden figure, suddenly spoke, and interjected: "Is Advisor Wazele planning to support the other party's proposal and demarcate the border as soon as possible?"

"Yes!"

Wazele nodded, and then changed the topic, "But negotiations, after all, take time. The more modest that Lord Xiaduo behaves, the more some countries may delay, and even have some unrealistic ideas. Just like they've done before."

"Haha, but it's not a bad thing for us."

"Prince Mian, please lead the team yourself for the upcoming negotiations on the division of territory in the Northern Land Alliance. By the way, let's observe Lord Xiaduo for us. I will ask Itino to assist you."

"This is what I should do."

Lorian didn't think the other party's words were any different. Several generations of Ilfaron's centralization reforms had passed, and the Crown Prince only had the right to supervise, and it was naturally his duty to act as a facade occasionally.

Then Wazele turned to Tell Tyron again: "Please also ask Master Tyron to inform Evereska as soon as possible that King Ilfaran's crown is visiting, and you must not neglect the etiquette."

"Yes."

Tai Lun responded, and then released the projection.

In the main hall, the governing advisers continued to discuss for a while before they began to arrange the specific travel plan of Mian Wang.

……

In Yeerlan, a similar dialogue also took place between the Taivimansa monarch and his ministers, but Yeerlan's Helien Mianwang made compromises in the centralization reform, and he still holds power.

But because of the concessions made, the Council of Elders Gaoshu also has real power. If there is no disagreement between the two sides, it's fine. Once there is a disagreement, Helien has already begun to regret the compromise.

It's a pity that Ye'erlan is no longer his authority, and of course it wasn't in the past, but anyway, Helien had far more authority in the past than he does now.

"Elders, you only see the threat of the floating city fortress, but you don't see the threat of our northwest. Once the territory of each country is demarcated, our original land expansion plan will die halfway. Under the protection of the Northern Alliance, is it impossible for us to control it?"

"Why not? All their current high-level officials are appointed by us, and we can just find any reason for them to merge Elan into Ye'erlan." An elder immediately retorted.

But Helien just shook his head, "Elder Ansai, the current situation is obviously that Lord Xiaduo wants to create the order he wants in the Northland, do you think he might allow us to host an independent country for a long time?

"Besides, don't underestimate Elan, they were also Sruvande elves before, don't think they have lost the courage of Sruvande just because they changed their names!

"We may be able to control Elan for one or two generations, but as long as we don't fully integrate into the Yeerlan system, the other party will awaken a sense of independence sooner or later. You should understand, how did Sharvin appear? How did Yeerlan appear?"

Helien is actually out of anger now, he found out that making Elan independent was completely caught in a well-designed conspiracy, and the wait may be now.

Ye Erlan paid a huge price for that war, is it just for the independence of Erlan?
In Helien's view, there is obviously no such reason, so he firmly disagrees with any actual territorial negotiations now.

If you want to talk about it, at least wait until Yeerlan completely annexed Elam, and even Sluvand. As long as this country exists for a day, Helien will always be worried.

The current situation is——

Helien did not agree to negotiate the territory and boundaries, and the high-level elders' council had no power to act alone, but correspondingly, the final decision on what Helien wanted to do was in the hands of the council.

This mutual containment system is the result of Helien's compromise, and now it's time for him to pay for the decisions he made.
