Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2432 Horn's Shock

Xia Duo is a person who takes the overall situation into consideration, but he doesn't want to put himself in a disadvantageous situation because of the overall situation. He will try to avoid the "difficult to both" choice from the very beginning.

If it is unavoidable, he also has his own judgment.

Just when Xia Duo was thinking about whether to leave now, Lawrence sent a message saying that he had canceled all the banquets and exchanges at Akoala's side, and was rushing to Severton at the first time.

If Xia Duo hesitated before, but Lawrence's news immediately made a decision for him, he was not going to wait here any longer, he had already shown enough sincerity.

He's been disappointed by Kieran Tower's attitude, and now he's leaving.

But just as Xia Duo walked out of the reception room, before his body came out completely, the magic net in front of him shook, and a middle-aged man with a mustache appeared in front of Xia Duo——

It's Horn.

"Lord Xia Duo, I'm sorry I just received the news, I rushed back immediately."

Horn stopped in front of Xia Duo with sincere eyes and a sincere attitude. For a while, Xia Duo couldn't figure out the other party's true intentions, so there was no need to delve into it.

He hesitated for a moment, but still stopped in his tracks, but he couldn't help but sneer, "Since Your Excellency Horn is so busy with business, why do you need to see me again?"

"Lord Xia Duo, you misunderstood."

Horn invited Xiaduo into the reception room while explaining to him, "I was indeed dealing with a very urgent business just now, but I have heard the proposal about Lord Xiaduo from Master Iolum before.

"That is also a major event related to the survival and development of countless people in the future, so I came here as soon as I received the news. I hope Lord Xia Duo can understand."

Horn specifically mentioned Iolum, just to tell Xia Duo that the two things he said exist, and the other thing is not a perfunctory word.

Xia Duo was noncommittal when he heard the words. Although judging from Horn's performance at the moment, it seemed that there was no element of acting, and there was even a hint of anxiety in his eyes that could not be concealed, but Xia Duo also had his own attitude.

"Your Excellency Horn, what do you want to tell me?"

This was originally what Xia Duo took the initiative to say, but he used it to ask Horn back. Horn couldn't react for a while, and he was stunned for a few seconds before he said with a wry smile:
"Lord Xiaduo, I think you already know the result of the negotiations between Master Iolum and the Seven Towers, but what I want to say is that the Seven Towers are not monolithic, each tower, and even each individual has its own ideas.

"Over the years, we have been united through the Severton Covenant, and on this basis, we have produced more and more stable interest connections, but we are not one after all.

"Personally, I agree with the concept of sustainable development you put forward. Even most of the individuals in the Seven Towers are willing to accept it, but the combination of individuals has new demands."

There was something in Horn's words, but Xia Duo didn't want to make so many detours with him, but directly peeled off that layer of skin, "Is it because New Severton has already made an appearance in front of the envoys of the northern countries?"

"Yes."

Horn nodded with difficulty, "Most people in the Seven Towers are attached to the Seven Towers as a whole, because of the existence of the Seven Towers as a whole, they have a special status today, but any behavior that may harm the Seven Towers as a whole will not be accepted by them, even This behavior is beneficial in the long run."

"I see."

In fact, Xia Duo is no stranger to what Horn said. In his hometown, there is a saying that "there are only individuals who betray the class, and there is no class who betrays the interests of the class."

The disappearance of New Severton as soon as it appeared, for whatever reason, would compromise the authority of the Seven Towers.

For individuals inside the Seven Towers, it might be beneficial for him to compromise the authority of the Seven Towers, but for the Seven Towers as a whole, it is an inevitable loss.

This is the will of the collective and the organization, and even the Grand Arcanist as the controller is difficult to change by himself.

Xia Duo saw that Horn even said things that would be impossible under normal circumstances. He realized that what the other party said before was tied up by some important matter should be true, but he couldn't figure it out. The empty city has been created, what else is there to do?
It's not like there is any new news from the demons, right?
The Northland Alliance has established a targeted dialogue and cooperation mechanism because of the devil's problem, but Xia Duo did not join the newly established department, so the timeliness of getting news has always been a bit short.

In addition to the seven towers taking the initiative to share, it mainly depends on Evereska's "old friend" La Ryan.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo suddenly asked: "Your Excellency Horn, is the important matter you dealt with just now related to the demon descendants?"

"Devil?" Horn's eyes were a little dazed, but he reacted in the next moment, and said quickly, "It's not a demon, but that is indeed an important matter."

Horn's tone was a little tight, he revealed it but didn't reveal it, Xia Duo knew that he probably couldn't ask anything from the other party's mouth.

So I went back to the topic, "Your Excellency Horn just mentioned the seven towers as a whole, can I understand that as long as the overall interests are enough, even if some people object to it, it will not help?"

"Yes."

Horn nodded affirmatively, and mentioned the unspoken rules that have been passed in the Seven Towers for a long time and are actually widely known to everyone outside the Seven Towers, "As long as the majority of people in the Seven Towers agree, it is useless for a few people to object."

"I understand. Before the teacher came here, some things might not be clear. Now I will re-introduce my chips."

Speaking, Xia Duo asked Horn about the spell-casting authority in the mage tower. In fact, he could ignore the spell-casting restrictions of the Zilan Tower, but it would be too scary to do so.

Horn was very interested in what Xiaduo said about the bargaining chip. The only possibility he could think of was the floating city Mysuo. In his opinion, New Severton was only one Misuo away from Xiaduo's Chang'an City.

But the Seven Towers are already on the way of research, and the Mystic in Sevington City on the ground was a practice before, and he didn't believe that Xia Duo could come up with anything better.

Do you really think that if you have a ruin of a mysia at home, you will be able to research a usable mysia?

So many lords in Netheril have mythical ruins in their homes, and I have never seen even the simplest mythal built in any territory before the appearance of the Severton mythal.

In addition, there is another most critical problem, that is, when it comes to the study of mythos, elves are far superior to humans. If they can't understand it thoroughly, even if they get a new mythos, the seven towers can't be easily used on the floating city.

Not to mention a ready-made fan lock, the hidden danger is too great.

This is also the main reason why Iolum lacked interest in trading the Seven Towers with the Floating Void City.

But Xia Duo's next move almost overturned Horn's cognition.

After obtaining the authority to cast spells, Xia Duo directly pointed to the void between the two. At the same time, under the macroscopic perspective guided by this guidance, the magic net changed rapidly within this square inch.
