Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2425 Convince Iolum
"To what extent does the teacher think the Seven Towers can do it?"

"It's hard to say. If I mentioned it, perhaps the Seven Towers would agree to prohibit others from intercepting the mountain in the future. In this case, it might not be a sign of authority for them to retain the only natural mountain."

Iolum said a result that was not easy for Xiaduo to accept. If the Seven Towers were allowed to keep the mountain, it would be difficult to achieve the restrictions on other people.

After all, according to the Severton Covenant, the local lords and the Seven Towers are equal, but the division of labor between the two sides in this system is different.

The opening of privilege is not so easy to open. Since it is necessary to restrict other people from intercepting the mountain, it must go back to the past, that is, let the Seven Towers hand over the mountain that they intercepted.

As for Iolum's mention of letting him mention it, Xia Duo didn't really care about it. Although this matter can increase his reputation, it is easier to get the hostility of the Seven Towers.

His original intention was actually that if Iolum wanted to, let Iolum bring it up, how convenient it was, if the other party didn't have such a mind, then he would do it himself, and he wasn't afraid of confronting the Seven Towers.

In other words, if he didn't have the awareness to confront the Seven Towers, why would he have the idea of ​​seizing Netheril?
"Teacher, what you said is to allow the Seven Towers to keep the mountain, but to restrict other people, I am afraid that other people will not agree, and it is not good to let the Seven Towers retain their privileges. I still think that since the Seven Towers are to be banned, even the Seven Towers together banned."

Xia Duo pretended to be relaxed, but his attitude was quite firm. Iolum couldn't help frowning slightly after hearing this. In fact, he didn't care much about whether or not Nether Mage was forbidden to intercept the mountain. The reasons Xia Duo said were far from enough to convince him Desperate to help.

The reason why he is willing to help Xia Duo is more because Xia Duo is his student, and the future scene that Xia Duo once described to him, but for now, those are still unknown.

It was only then that Iolum began to seriously consider the impact of this matter on the future, but even though he was in the classical era with extraordinary magical talents, his social and humanities were not much different from laymen.

With his current experience, he can foresee the future scene where the mountains will not be enough, but what does this have to do with the future of Netheril?

Nether people don't live on the mountain, it's nothing more than a lack of natural scenery. Do human beings have to learn from elves if they want to develop?

Iolum shook his head. He couldn't understand this question, but there was someone in front of him who could explain it to him. Thinking of this, he looked at Xia Duo solemnly:
"Do you really think this question is important?"

"Of course, I mean it."

Xia Duo understood that if even Iolum couldn't convince him of this issue, trying to convince the Seven Towers might not be much better than dreaming.

Iolum's questioning didn't make him feel shocked, on the contrary, he felt happy, because if Iolum didn't even ask, it meant that the other party didn't actually take this matter to heart, even if he could improve his help, he wouldn't be able to. very limited.

But now, when asked so carefully, it shows that the other party deliberately mobilized some forces beyond the normal teacher-student relationship to support him. Of course, the premise is that he can convince the other party.

After thinking about it, Xia Duo didn't directly start from the question of whether to intercept the mountain itself, but went around in a circle and asked Iolum:

"Does the teacher consider himself one of the common people?"

"Is it one of the common people?"

As soon as Iolum heard this question, Iolum knew that Xia Duo wanted to convince himself of his territory. Although he really believed that he was not an ordinary person, he still followed Xia Duo's words.

"According to what you said, I should also be one of the ordinary people."

"Yes, but here I still have to explain. The ordinary people I am talking about are not distinguished by strength or ability to cast spells, but from the perspective of 'human beings' and 'self'. We are all ordinary human beings with self-awareness. Does the teacher agree?"

Xia Duo changed the term, and Iolum completely understood. Although there are still special bloodlines in this world, as far as the human race is concerned, there is indeed no superhuman existence. Everything can be placed in the framework of human beings. to discuss.

Not to mention that he had already heard about the bloodline sequencing plan of Kilan Tower. Bloodline cannot be regarded as a superior reliance. For example, he himself does not have any special bloodline, so he has reached the current level?

It’s just that this kind of statement is a bit foolish, but it’s true. From Iolum’s own point of view, it might be more appropriate to replace Xiaduo’s statement with “human beings are an ordinary race”, and it will be easier to be accepted by others.

"Teacher, since we are all ordinary people, do you agree that ordinary people born in our later generations have the same rights as us?"

"This—" Iolum hesitated for a moment, and raised an objection, "You can't compare people who don't exist with people who exist now?"

"Pure comparison is of course unnecessary, but if a civilization wants to develop, it can't just rely on our generation, right? We must leave some room for future generations, right?"

"That's right. I know what you want to say. You want to say that if our current people use up the mountains in Nether, future generations will have no use for them, right?"

"Yes, not only mountains, but also various resources that are difficult to regenerate quickly in nature, such as Mithril mines. The right decision, but people now feel that they have suffered a great loss, why does the teacher think?"

"People always instinctively want to possess more."

After finishing speaking, Iolum couldn't help sighing, "Actually, I don't think it was a bad thing to sign the Mithril agreement back then, but so much time has passed, and the current situation is already different from the past."

"Yes, the Netherese in the past had no choice but to sign such an agreement with Yeerlan and Danzo if they wanted to develop. Now that Netheril has developed, they can naturally seek to change or even abolish the agreement."

Speaking of this matter, Xia Duo was also quite emotional. Regarding the Mithril Agreement, one cannot say which of the three countries did something wrong. It can only be said that everything is the fault of time. The world is developing and changing, and of course the agreement can also change.

Publicly speaking, this is Seven Towers fighting for the interests of Netheril. Privately speaking, Seven Towers and other lords with mithril mines are dissatisfied with their current income and want more.

But one thing, if there is no moral support, even if the Seven Towers and the few lords who own Mithril mines think about it, it may be difficult to do it.

Leaving Danzo aside, Yeerlan is definitely unwilling to give up the meat in his mouth. As long as there is no consensus within Netheril, it can completely pay part of the benefits in exchange for those lords who do not have mithril mines to oppose the agreement in the Severton Council renew.

As long as the benefit paid is less than the gain from the Netheril Mithril mine.

But in fact, this is not as simple as imagined, and almost none of the Nether lords objected, including those lords who did not have mithril mines.

No matter how good Ye Erlan's wooing is, it's just a one-shot deal. If the family finds a mithril mine in the future, I'm afraid they will regret their decision now.

It can be said that every lord, including the Seven Towers, has selfish intentions, but countless selfish intentions converge into morality. As long as Yeerlan does not want to start a war with Netheril immediately, he will definitely agree to renew the agreement.
