Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2426 Sustainable Development Invitation to Visit

Although the subsequent negotiations went through several twists and turns, the final result was that the Mithril Agreement of the Three Kingdoms was revised. (Also influenced by the establishment of the Northland Alliance)
If Netheril, Yerlan, and Danzo renegotiated the Mithril Agreement, it was an act of selfishness that converged into morality, then forbidding Netherist mages to intercept the mountain was more inclined to pure morality.

The so-called "morality" is actually the morality and justice recognized by countless ordinary people. The ordinary people in Nether may not feel that the mage's chopping of a mountain will affect them, but it may not be so in the future.

As Xia Duo said, spellcasters are also ordinary people, not to mention that new spellcasters will definitely be born in the future, including powerful spellcasters. It is not unacceptable to download enough resources.

In the current era, although there are various life-extending spells, they cannot live forever after all. When almost every Nether lord handles various resources in his territory, he will consciously leave some for his descendants.

Instead of mining all of them in one generation.

In fact, this already has the embryonic form of sustainable development, but Xia Duo now wants to extend the object of sustainable development from the private precious mineral deposits in his personal territory to a wider field.

Not only one's own territory, but also other people's territories and unclaimed lands should be treated in the same way; not only for precious mineral deposits, but also for resources that are difficult to regenerate even if they don't seem so important from the current point of view. do it.

Xia Duo explained his concept of sustainable development in detail. After listening to it, Iolum wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

Before that, he knew that Xia Duo was interested in establishing a magic civilization where everyone was a spellcaster, but he had always thought that what the other party wanted to establish was just a new country that was more powerful than all known civilizations in the past and present.

In the past, Xia Duo also asked him about the new natural concept, but he only regarded it as a sharp weapon to fight against the invasion of elf culture and the Nether people to dispel the worship of elves.

Now it seems that his student has ideas that are completely different from the current era, and those ideas can't be fully understood even by an old guy who has lived for hundreds of years.

"It seems that I have time to visit your territory!"

Iolum suddenly thought that although he often heard Brod, Hechenis and even Xiaduo talk about the southern border, he had never been there himself!

Just based on other people's introduction, he has already developed a strong special feeling for the territory located in the south and independent of the core territory of Nether. If he goes to experience it himself, he may have a deeper feeling.

"Da Xia Ling welcomes the teacher to come and guide at any time."

As soon as Iolum mentioned this, Xia Duo also remembered that he seemed to have never invited the teacher to his territory. The two of them were either busy with you or busy with me, and it was rare to delay until now.

Right now seems to be a good opportunity. Thinking of this, Xia Duo sent another invitation to Iolum, "The person in charge of cultural and educational work in my territory will soon come back from an exchange study in the Kingdom of Akola. Did you learn anything over there?"

"I have the impression that the person you mentioned is called Lawrence, right?"

Iolum tilted his head as if recalling something, "By the way, I remembered, Lawrence, the wild poem Lawrence who wrote "The Epic of Zilean", I didn't expect him to join your territory!"

Netheril's style of writing is not strong, and there are a few outstanding bards who will often join even grand arcanists. Otherwise, if they are just incompetent people, can Zilan Tower allow Lawrence to arrange and tease like that?

Iolum hadn't heard the performance of The Wild Poetry in recent years, and he thought that the other party might have traveled abroad to collect music, or was quietly killed by someone dissatisfied with the arrangement in Zilan High Tower.

Unexpectedly, he joined the Xiaduo territory and went to Akola for exchange and study!

Iolum remembered that last year he told Hechenis that Xiaduo sent a person to Akoala, but at that time he failed to connect Xiaduo's Lawrence with the wild poet.

Now that Xia Duo deliberately mentioned it, he immediately reacted.

"Why did you send Lawrence to the elves? Aren't you always wary of elves' things?" Iolum asked curiously.

"Let's wait for the teacher to go to the southern border to ask Lawrence himself this question!"

Xia Duo deliberately kept it a secret, and he also didn't think that asking Iolum to ask Lawrence was an insult to Iolum. In terms of magical achievements, Lawrence was far inferior to Iolum.

But in terms of artistic achievements, Iolum is far inferior to Lawrence, not to mention that Lawrence is still the head of the Daxia Lingwen Education Department. Now he is responsible for the education of a place, and he will master the education of a civilization in the future. responsibility.

In Xia Duo's view, the two of them just have different development directions and social division of labor, and there is no distinction between high and low.

……

The visit to the territory was said to be just a small episode in the conversation between Xiaduo and Iolum, and the two quickly returned to the original topic.

"Does the teacher think that the sustainable development I mentioned will have a great impact on the future?"

"I can't make a conclusion now, but I can say that if any civilization can do this, it is undoubtedly a great civilization."

Xia Duo heard the meaning behind Iolum's words, so he struck while the iron was hot, "Then teacher is willing to support me?"

"I am willing, but the Seven Towers are different from you and me. Even if they accept this set of theories, it is almost impossible for them to return the mountain they have cut off."

"If the resolution on sustainable development is passed in the Austrian Law Federation and the Severton Council first, can't they be forced to give up that section of the mountain? As long as the resolution is passed, other people should not allow the Seven Towers to have privileges, right?"

"It's true to say so, but it's about face, the Seven Towers will not give up easily, and it is impossible for other people to persecute us too much for us. In the end, this matter may be dragged on indefinitely."

What Iolum said was the reality, and Xia Duo had to admit that even if the resolution on sustainable development was passed, the Seven Towers would most likely not hand over that section of the mountain.

This is indeed a difficult knot.

So, besides letting the Seven Towers passively hand over that section of the mountain, is there any way for them to take the initiative to hand it over?

If they take the initiative, there will be no problem of face or disgrace, that is voluntary, but it is not easy to let the Seven Towers voluntarily hand over the base of the floating city that has been shown in front of the Northland Alliance and exists as a face strength!
It is no easier than oppressing with the general trend.

Do not--

Xia Duo suddenly thought of a possibility, maybe he could exchange his floating city with the seven towers. His own floating city has invested a lot of resources, and it is more advanced than the seven towers, but he has to build a new one. How to deal with the old one? Also a problem.

Just before he came to Severton, he was discussing with the Tower of Time's senior management how to deal with the old floating city. It is certainly a choice to keep it for his own use, but if he can get more things, he may not be able to sell it Lose.

Of course, if you make up your mind to trade with the Seven Towers, you can't just exchange for a primitive floating island that is destined to be demolished, at least you need to add the latest plane exploration technology.

Due to the limitations of the projection plane itself, the Red Heart Alliance has not been able to make great progress in the field of plane exploration. This is a shortcoming, and compared to other fields, the accumulation of the Seven Towers may not be able to make up for this shortcoming.

But how much can be supplemented first.

And besides plane exploration technology, the Seven Towers still have a lot of things that Xia Duo covets. The Red Heart Alliance is not omnipotent, just like the plane exploration field, there are always areas that it cannot reach or has not been deeply cultivated. It just so happens that the Seven Towers have accumulated .

However, even if he is already considering exchanging the Floating City for the Floating City, Xia Duo is not prepared to push for a sustainable development resolution, and not only Netheril, but also the Northland Alliance, he is also prepared to do so.

Excessive mining, excavation, and endless arms race are meaningless, but development must be considered as a top priority and sustainable development.

Of course, the current mutual trust among the countries of the Northern Alliance is not enough. There is no need to worry about this issue for the time being. Perhaps enough mutual trust can be accumulated after the demons are resolved.
