Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2463 The Third Stage
After thinking about it again and again, Xia Duo felt that Pullman was the only possible variable that he could think of. Perhaps the external threat of the elves could also be regarded as a variable, but now that the Northern Alliance has become increasingly stable, this statement is obviously not convincing enough force.

Moreover, this incident only involves three planes, and will not fully expose the hidden strength of the Seven Towers. In addition, as the centralization reforms of the countries in the North continue to advance, Netheril can also feel the pressure.

If you don't want to learn elves, then you have to put more power on the surface. Mythra's war magic mobile platform is an option, and more population and more top spellcasters are also an option.

This is actually a bit similar to an arms race, but it is more inclined to benign competition. Others have already started, and you have to keep up if you want to maintain your status as a big country.

It can be said that no matter internally or externally, the return of those three planes is the general trend.

The only thing that has a chance to change all this is the variable of Pullman, because the source of this issue and these recent incidents is Pullman. As long as Pullman says there is no such thing as a joke, the Seven Towers will stop it firmly.

As long as the civil war does not want to break out on the spot, other people's attitudes may not be so firm. Even Xia Duo would feel embarrassed when he thought of that possibility.

"Then tell Pullman to shut up."

As long as Puman does not appear, let alone whether the three planes return, the Seven Towers has no reason to prevent the connection of the three planes, because to explain that the three planes do not need to be connected, at least let the main plane Let's go and see the situation.

And as long as the people from the main plane have passed, it is actually equivalent to being connected. Once those planes are connected, the people inside want to return, and the Seven Towers have no reason to refuse, because the real situation has been revealed. up.

……

After that, Xia Duo continued to prophesy several times, but none of the pictures related to this topic appeared. After finishing the prophecy, he hurried back to the Tower of Time while the afternoon meeting had not started.

After explaining the whole story to Pullman, he invited him to stay in the [Stay Room] for a few days. He didn't want to bet on whether Pullman would bounce back, and Pullman didn't want to face that difficult situation, so He voluntarily lived in the stasis room of the Tower of Time, and came out after the events settled down.

……

Returning to Sevington again, Shadow told Iolum Pullman that he might not be there. Iolum thought for a moment, but agreed.

"If you don't come, don't come. It may be more troublesome without him, but it won't change the final result."

"Thank you teacher for understanding."

"Go to the venue, it's almost time."

"Ah."

……

At the venue in the afternoon, the number of participants has changed a lot. Firstly, the number of outside observers has decreased by more than half, and secondly, there are also a few fewer directors of the Austrian Law Federation.

Xia Duo is easy to understand. After all, the Arcane Federation also has normal work to do, and the directors are actually senior managers who handle these common affairs. Let's wait and argue.

But what made Xia Duo a little difficult to understand was that Horn, who had only visited him at noon, was absent in the afternoon!

After thinking about it, he didn't think that he had convinced Horn, but that something might have happened to the Tower of Kiran, and Horn needed to deal with it urgently.

Although Horn's absence could not change the choice of the Seven Towers to fight against the general situation, it obviously had some visible impact on everyone in the venue.

The most obvious one was the rebuttal against the Seven Towers. Others' attitudes became firmer and their voices became more severe. Correspondingly, the Seven Towers seemed to be a little bit powerless.

Schum even made a slip of the tongue and said "who can prove that the descendants of the pioneers want to return to the main plane", who else needs to prove it?As long as the people present have a look at it, don't you know!
Since Schom's slip of the tongue, the Seven Towers had completely fallen into a disadvantage, and they were unable to save the situation despite being overwhelmed. This was much smoother than the fierce debate Shaduo had expected.

"No wonder the teacher said it would be the same with or without Pullman."

……

Soon, the meeting proceeded to the third stage.

The first stage discusses procedural issues, that is, whether the issue of whether to accept the return of the pioneers of the alien plane to the main plane can be discussed at the joint meeting of the Grand Arcanists.

At this stage, the Seven Towers can barely maintain the situation, but this problem has already been resolved the moment the Seven Towers arrived, and it would be a waste of time for the Seven Towers to quibble.

The second stage, this is the substantive discussion stage of the topic of this meeting, that is, whether to accept the return of the pioneers of the alien plane to the main plane.

This is divided into several small stages, from demonstrating the rationality and necessity of the return of the pioneers of the alien plane to confirming the acceptance of the return of the pioneers of the alien plane.

At this stage, due to Horn's absence and Randall's silence, the resistance of the Seven Towers was almost completely defeated.

After that is the third stage, and this is the real home court of the Seven Towers.

No matter how loud the moral slogan is, it still has to be implemented in specific operations, that is, how to receive the return of the pioneers of the alien plane.

There are too many problems here.

First of all, how to determine who wants to return is a big problem. After that, there are hundreds of years of investment from the Seven Towers in those planes. If too many people are relocated at one time, who will pay for this part of the loss? .

The last issue is the placement of the main plane, which is the easiest one. Anyway, the territory of Nether is sparsely populated, and there are so many unowned lands. Just find a place with good terrain and you can open it up.

"We will propose a survey plan later to see how many people actually want to move back to the main plane. In addition, there are still important information and facilities of the Seven Towers on those planes. We will not consider opening the plane until the processing is completed. connected."

As Xia Duo thought, this stage is indeed the home of the Seven Towers. Schum easily proposed various delaying plans. If the planes are not connected, if the people are not flowing, then all the results of the previous discussions will be lost. meaning.

After all, the Seven Towers have operated those planes for hundreds of years, and they have too many reasons to find, except for what was raised at the meeting now, even if it is temporarily negotiated, they can still find a temporary reason to "capture the wanted criminal" Continue to block the plane.

Although the discussion at this stage is a more practical issue than before, the degree of wrangling is far more serious than before.

From the moment he saw Schom's "talking against the Confucians", Xia Duo knew that this meeting probably, maybe, should last for a long time.

This is the last dignity of the Seven Towers, and it is unrealistic to completely take it away at once.

……

After the afternoon adjournment, Iolum called Shadow, Cliff, Byron, Conjenio, and Badigal, and had another private meeting. This was the time for real bargaining.
