Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2516 The Seed of Equal Rights

At this time, in the opening hall, Greta, as the follower of the princess in the mortal world and the guardian priest after the princess ascended to the gods, witnessed the signing of the new alliance on behalf of the princess, while the other priest of brilliance witnessed here on behalf of the lord of brilliance. .

Before Xia Duo and other great arcanists signed the contract, the lords of the main plane and the three planes of Tianshui had already signed the covenant documents. Tomorrow's ceremony is more of a performance and a declaration.

"Niya, it's your turn!"

Xia Duo handed over the covenant documents to Niya, and then watched Nya check, sign the contract, and then pass it on to the next person. In fact, even if Niya did not disclose the identity of the great arcanist, she would still be in this covenant today. signature.

The reason is very simple. Grand Arcanists don't need to sign. After all, they are more representatives of power, but lords must sign, and none of them will work, because they represent the territorial jurisprudence inherited from the old and new covenants of Netheril.

The birth of a new lord in the future also needs to be approved by the parliament representing the Severton Covenant. Before that, Lord Xiaduo's "conversion" was presided over by the princess who was still the speaker of the Seven Towers at that time. At that time, the Seven Towers actually represented The Covenant of Sevington.

But after the signing of the new covenant, the seven towers can no longer fully represent the new covenant. Only the Severton Council can represent the new covenant. Although the seven towers still retain their ruling status, their power has been more checked and balanced.

For example, a certain pioneer has completed the pioneering task and is about to apply for promotion to the lord. In the past, he could go to the Seven Towers and complete the relevant procedures by himself, but in the future, it needs to be handed over to the parliament to vote for approval.

Of course, considering that the parliament is not actually an administrative institution, and it is impossible to control everything, the first thing the parliament will do after the Midsummer Festival is probably to authorize the establishment of a lower-level administrative institution.

The authority to promote the lord for the pioneers may be directly delegated to this administrative agency, or it may remain in the parliament. After all, it takes a long time to open up a territory, and the parliament will not be too busy with this matter.

If it is decided by the council, if Xia Duo is dissatisfied with a certain pioneer, he can persuade other grand arcanists to vote against it together. As long as more than one-third of the opponents, the pioneer will definitely not be able to be promoted.

The promotion of the pioneer is just a trivial matter. For the Grand Arcanist, there will be more "major events" involving their own interests in the council. As long as Xia Duo firmly opposes it, other people will naturally not mind if they want him to cooperate in major events Let's cooperate in this small matter first.

It can be said that at a time when the number of great arcanists is not enough, almost any great arcanist has almost absolute power to dispose of trivial matters in Netheril that do not involve the interests of the majority.

Compared with the past, this kind of power has undoubtedly been greatly improved. After all, major matters are related to interests, and it is impossible for a few people to act arbitrarily at any time.

The decision-making power in major matters is often compromised, making people's perception of power less obvious.On the contrary, those ordinary "little things" that do not involve the interests of most people make it easier for people to feel the existence of power.

And this kind of power is also supported by the Severton Covenant. At this time, the great arcanists who hold legal principles and righteousness can be regarded as achieving "I am the overall situation."

Whether it is a spellcaster or an ordinary person under the Grand Arcanist, their power is suppressed to the extreme. This is of course not a good thing, but the new covenant itself has planted the seeds of equal rights.

It is only limited to the current status quo of Netheril. In the future, with the development of the times, this already somewhat advanced system will play its due role more and more.

……

Soon, the text of the new covenant spread to every grand arcanist present, and with the last person taking the oath, the new covenant was officially established.

As the first speaker of the New Severton Council under the new covenant order, Badigal was more or less excited at the moment. He held up the golden text of the new covenant and announced in public:
"Everyone, welcome to the new era!"

What a distant word the New Age is to the old Netheril!But now that the new covenant has been signed, who can say that this is not a new era!
At this moment, whether it is the people from the Seven Towers, the people from the three planes of Tianshui, or even Xia Duo, they are all infected by Badigal's "new era".

Because no matter from which point of view, the next Netheril will usher in an era of great development. Although this is still some distance from the new era expected by Xia Duo, there is no doubt that the era of new order is better than the past. We welcome the real new era that he advocates.

At this moment, maybe everyone got what they wanted. The Seven Towers truly unified the whole of Netheril legally. It is more dangerous outside the system.

And the great arcanists of the third plane of Tianshui got the freedom they longed for for a long time, and the rest of the great arcanists have also been greatly improved in power and gained legal support.

But only Xia Duo understands that he is the biggest beneficiary of this new order change.

Originally, he had to worry about his career in the southern border being opposed, suppressed and even destroyed by the conservative forces in Netheril, but under the new order, especially in the early days of the new order, no one was conservative.

Even the Seven Towers brought the previously retired former controller back to the front of the stage. Not to mention the three planes of Tianshui, even the main plane has emerged a new great arcanist like the advisor of the lord of Kangqi City.

Xia Duo believes that more and more people will recognize the new order and actively participate in the construction and maintenance of the new order. During this process, the changes in the southern border almost perfectly fit this development opportunity, and even to exceed.

Using the theory on Earth to explain, this is probably the role of the advanced superstructure in promoting social development and the change of the production relations of the casters.

To a certain extent, the original backward production relations are continuously optimized to match the current more advanced productive forces, and in this process, the productive forces are continuously liberated and developed until a new balance is reached.

A sage in Xia Duo's hometown once pointed out that reform and opening up is a long-term, arduous and arduous undertaking that must be carried on from generation to generation.

The reason why we attach great importance to reform is because reform can adapt the production relations to the development of productive forces and the superstructure to the development of the economic base (the sum of the dominant production relations).

And the New Covenant of Sevingdon is without a doubt the most important reform of Netheril in the past hundred years!
It effectively bridges the split trend within the ruling class, unites all people from all walks of life to the greatest extent, and has a high degree of foresight, which can play a long-term role in promoting the development of Netheril.
