Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2515 I have read the above terms and undertake to abide by them
Xia Duo came earlier, but it was impossible for others to be too late. When he talked with Lamani and Grian about a special festival called "Wind Praying Festival" in the Tianshui plane, other people also followed suit one after another. continued to come.

Several great arcanists who also came from the sweet water plane also came to Xia Duo to say hello. In this case, Xia Duo did not favor one another, but talked with everyone decently, and tried to find possible potential allies through verbal communication .

Before the arrival of the people from the Seven Towers, Xia Duo had almost recognized the great arcanists of the sweet water plane, and even the great arcanists of the golden plain plane had several more familiar faces.

As for the strange cliff plane, because the population is too small, there are only two great arcanists who were born there, and these two people did not grow up in the strange cliff plane, but in the golden plain plane.

It can be said that even a great arcanist has not been cultivated in the Qiya plane.

This fact to a large extent also verified Xia Duo's theory, that is, population is an important factor in the development of civilization, and the development of magic is naturally among them.

With the arrival of Badigal and other people from the Seven Towers, the new covenant can finally be signed, and Xia Duo felt relieved. This matter has been on his mind for a while, until now it seems like a stone has fallen land.

However, the arrival of Badigal and others also brought some new faces. In addition to the two summoners wearing priestly attires, there were seven more unfamiliar faces in the Seven Towers team.

Of course, the unfamiliar faces to Xia Duo and Niya may not necessarily be to others. Grian directly communicated with Xia Duo to reveal the old background of the Seven Towers:

"Those people were all the past controllers of the Seven Towers. This time, they should come to the foreground again for the seat of the Severton Council. And as far as I know, the Seven Towers still has a great arcanist hiding. Maybe one day in the future A few will be released."

That's it!

For Grian's explanation, Xia Duo actually didn't doubt it at all, because the great arcanists who came out of the three planes of Tianshui this time were all born in those three planes, which is obviously unreasonable.

The Seven Towers used various means to hide so many main plane arcanists behind the scenes. Could it be that there is only one who failed to become a great arcanist?Not to mention that the controllers of the past dynasties can't disappear completely, right?

Xia Duo has every reason to suspect that there are still some great arcanists hidden in the Seven Towers, and of course there will not be too many. It is impossible for dozens of them to come out at once like the opening of the three planes of Tianshui this time.

But a dozen or so should still be possible!

As for the undisclosed livable planes mastered by the Seven Towers, Xia Duo thinks that there should not be too many. Even if there are many, it is impossible for the population to have as many as the three planes of Tianshui.

After all, there are roughly traces of the population of Netheril in the past, except for a few occasions, it is impossible for a large number of people to migrate to the alien plane.

That is to say, the total number of Nethers on the different planes is roughly limited. The 700 million people on the three planes of Tianshui is already an exaggeration, and the main plane only has more than 1000 million people. Even if there are more other livable planes, there are still many How much can I get?
Xia Duo estimates that there may be at most only a dozen or 20 people who are still hiding, and these people should not be ordinary people, they may be the family members and descendants of the hidden power of the Seven Towers.

It is conceivable that as the order of the new covenant is gradually stabilized, geniuses and the like may continue to be hidden, but it is estimated that it will be difficult for grand arcanists to be willing to remain anonymous.

If you want to gain more voice in Netheril in the future, a seat in the Severton Council is undoubtedly the fastest way. There are mainly two types of seats here, one is the seat of the Grand Arcanist, and the other is the Take the chair.

Obviously the former is more decisive, because as long as two-thirds of the grand arcanist agrees and the other one-third does not object, certain decisions can be forced.

The presidency is basically only qualified to be an observer. Only when the Grand Arcanist cannot reach a consensus, the Lord needs to vote, and the Lord's vote has higher priority than the Grand Arcanist.

In this case, as long as the grand arcanist is not so stubborn, there is a high probability that a compromise can be reached before entering the lord voting session.

Unless someone can steadily win over one-third of the great arcanists—according to the current number of great arcanists who are about to sign a new covenant, it is counted as 18, it is possible to push the vote to the lord voting.

However, if the 18 Grand Arcanists can be steadily attracted, there is no need to use this method to indirectly gain the right to speak through the lord's vote. There is a high probability that the 18 Grand Arcanists who advance and retreat together will directly prevail in the vote of the members.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Grand Arcanists are almost absolutely dominant, and only a few dozen people can easily make the lord's voting session a fake. But as the number of Grand Arcanists increases, a more mature political group will inevitably form. Its political orientation will also be more biased towards the lord's side.

If it develops further in the future, the lord chair may also become an elected representative, and the lord himself will directly become a councilor, alongside the grand arcanists.

All in all, this system accommodates Netheril's current and future main power classes to the greatest extent, and from the system design, the weight of all parties does not appear to be suppressed at the crushing level.

Leaving aside other things, this system alone should survive for a long time if there are no accidents, and it is very likely that it will become more and more stable as Netheril grows stronger.

Foreseeing this trend, Xia Duo can also imagine what kind of form he will intervene in the development of Netheril in the future, probably through entering into an organization with such a common concept.

As long as you keep filling the parliament with your own people, the right to speak will naturally gather, and the influence will naturally increase.

Under such rules of the game, there is a high probability that the local lords will actively train their own people. Although they will not immediately follow the example of the southern border for universal compulsory education, compared with the past, they will also change their conservative style.

At least they won't train apprentices as handymen on the spot, and they will use snacks to some extent.

At the same time, the exchanges between lords and territories will become more frequent, because the alliance of lords is the only chance to counter the decision of the grand arcanist, so it won't be as disorganized as it used to be, right?

……

Xia Duo pondered silently, and soon the text of the new covenant was delivered to him. The covenant carrier used golden pages similar to Nether scrolls, and the documents of the lord's territory were also preserved in this carrier.

Although many people had already signed and signed before him, Xia Duo carefully read through the full text and the golden book page itself as a carrier.

After confirming that there was no problem, he used the seal at the end of the pioneer's scepter to leave a mark on the covenant document, and then pressed the document with his hand to solemnly announce to Greta and the glorious priest who witnessed the ceremony:

"I have read and understood all the contents of the covenant, and promise to abide by the principles shown in the covenant, respect and maintain the existence of the covenant."

"My Lord witnesses!"*2
