Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2464 Bargaining
Although the third stage is the home field of the Seven Towers, due to the lack of morality, there is actually only one way left to delay, and it gets narrower and narrower.

It is impossible to pretend that this incident never happened, so what the Seven Towers need most now is a decent ending.

What Xia Duo and others need is relatively simple. They only need to connect the three alien planes with the main plane, so that the descendants of the pioneers there can migrate freely.

Of course, it is still relatively difficult for the two parties to reach an agreement. After all, for the Seven Towers, no matter how decently this incident ends, it will actually suffer a big loss, so compensation is essential.

Bargaining should also be here.

It's just that this kind of matter is generally not suitable for discussion in public, so there was a private meeting invited by Iolum.

"Master Iolum, you may have gone too far this time!"

Privately, Badigal didn't need to maintain the demeanor of the chief controller, and he began to complain to Iolum after entering the waiting room. He had every reason to believe that today's incident must be related to the rejection of Shaduo by the Seven Towers.

Thinking of this, Badigal couldn't help but glared at Xia Duo again. He should have agreed to the other party if he had known that this situation would lead to today's situation, but it was too late to regret it now.

And Iolum was left behind, the last one to enter the waiting room. Hearing Badigal's complaints, he couldn't help but feel a bit of resentment. It's just that he controlled his emotions well, but his tone But not so happy:

"Whether this matter is too much has been publicly discussed in the daytime meeting. The descendants of the pioneers of the different planes are also Nethers, and they should have the right to choose.

"In addition, I should have discussed this matter with you more than once, but what about your attitude? And Pullman, he was not brought here by me, right? As long as you treat him better, how can he ask for my side? come?"

Iolum's words attracted the attention of other people in the waiting room. Indeed, it must be impossible to reach the point of convening a joint meeting of grand arcanists.

At this moment, Xia Duo also interjected that he could not let Iolum bear the blame of the Seven Towers alone, "I was the first person Puman sought out, and I was shocked to hear the current situation of the sweet water plane he described. , which introduced him to the teacher.

"In addition to me and the teacher, there are actually people who have seen Pullman. Even if the teacher doesn't mention this, others will mention it, and if others don't mention it, I will mention it!"

In this matter, the Seven Towers are actually at a loss. The so-called "justice and freedom of the heart" are not in the same world, but the general rules are the same. According to many principles of the Severton Covenant, the Seven Towers have indeed done poorly .

Even if Badigal doesn't admit it with his mouth, he actually understands it in his heart. The reason for the current stalemate is nothing more than the loss of face and the loss of actual benefits.

As for the latter, it is already inevitable. Even if other people can compensate, it is impossible to return to the past state. However, the former may be more important to the current Seven Towers.

Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, Byron hurriedly stood up to smooth things over, "Okay, now that this matter has come to this point, let's stop arguing about who is right. The most important thing now is how to end it!"

Byron reminded not only Shadow and Iolum, but also Badigal. If this matter is not handled properly and the prestige of the Seven Towers is lost, it will not be as simple as the loss of personnel from the three livable planes.

"I understand, Master Byron, you also belong to the Seven Towers, what do you think we should do in this situation?"

In front of Xia Duo and others, Badigal showed a little weakness, but tried to win over Byron, obviously wanting to struggle a few more times.

"I think the most important thing is to maintain the stability of the current order. The appearance of people from different planes will definitely make the balance of power in Netheril unbalanced, and it must be handled properly."

What Cliff said seemed to be neutral, but it was actually neutral, but in reality, he was more inclined to support the Seven Towers, maintain the existing order framework, and even support the idea of ​​​​continuing to block the three planes.

But the few people present, although they all need stability and order, are not the kind of people who only care about order and don't care about good or bad.

Right now, the Severton Covenant represents morality above order. If it is abandoned, the current order can be maintained, but in the long run, it is indeed the beginning of the collapse of order.

Cliff may not be unable to see this, but the philosophy he insists on does not support him to think and do that. If he thinks and does the same as Xia Duo, he will become the second Layton.

Even if it does not become a heresy, a sudden drop in divine favor in a short period of time will be inevitable.

Unless Xia Duo can convince the Lord of Radiance to agree with "morality above order" and "order above order", any statement by Cliff, who is almost a bright card, can actually be ignored on this issue.

"Master Conjenio, what do you think?"

"You young people, you can handle this kind of thing yourself, but the phrase that Xia Duo said just now, 'the descendants of the pioneers also have the right to choose', I think it is very correct, and it is time for those planes to return."

After finishing speaking, Congeigno took a look at Byron and added, "Isn't the Golden Plains in the hands of the Nether family? Didn't the girl Shiyana leave any arrangements?"

"Shia, uh—"

Regarding the title of the princess, Congeigno, who is currently the oldest senior in Netheril, can of course call her by her first name. As the princess' teacher, Byron may also call the princess by her mortal real name in private. But in the presence of other people, it is also necessary to maintain the dignity of the true god.

"His Royal Highness did not see the current Netheril due to the advance plan of ascension to the gods. At that time, she was a little conservative about the arrangement of the Golden Plain, but in principle, she still supported connecting with the main plane as soon as possible."

When the princess was mentioned, everyone fell silent, let alone Congeinio's direct name calling just now, Xia Duo could even feel an invisible and almost substantial line of sight projected from an infinite distance.

Xiaduo didn't know if other people felt it, but he did. Fortunately, Netheril had a precedent for similar perception of calling names.

For example, Sandro who uses the ritual of longevity to transform into an inhuman, Vader who specially arranges the perception array, and so on.

Not to mention God, there have been rumors for a long time, so after a moment of silence, Badigal proposed, "I have a meeting for a day, everyone is a little tired, let's go here first, tomorrow I will be in Gustav The Tower awaits you."

It was somewhat sensitive when it came to gods, and the others also agreed to Badigal's proposal, and soon there were only Xiaduo, Iolum and Conjenio left in the lounge.

"Master Conjenio did it on purpose?" Xia Duo asked curiously.

Because he felt that the princess's eyes still seemed to be fixed here, but he didn't think it would be a good way to lead the princess to the end. The only thing he was lucky about now was that the princess just cast her eyes and did not take any further actions.

Otherwise, today's matter may be self-defeating.
