Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2626
"Maintaining external technological advantages is the bottom line. Mythra is no better than other technologies. If it is at the expense of Mythra, even if it is at the expense of the potential purchase right of Mythra, no one in the council will be willing to make such a precedent. .”

What Iolum said was very straightforward. Not only him, but also other members of parliament would probably not agree, so there was only one option, to negotiate with Ketmir and Zamdas in the south to let the water vapor pass through the border.

Migrate to Calimshan with water vapor to offset the opponent's efforts.

Although it seems that Netheril only needs to pay a little arcane crystal for the time being to move the water vapor to the Narrow Sea or the North Pole. The transaction itself is fair, but outside of the transaction——

Netheril needs to solve the snow disaster, and Calimshan needs Mythra. Both parties know the other's needs, which actually becomes a hidden transaction condition.

If the migration of water vapor can solve the snow disaster, it would be regarded as a favor owed by Netheril to Calimshan. Of course, only human favors can offset the favor, such as Mythra, or the huge water vapor, or the passage of water elements.

The weight of the three decreases gradually.

Solving the snow disaster alone is not enough to change to Mythra, but it can accumulate this part of the favor. If you accumulate more in the future, then you don't need to change it.

If it is not changed, it will almost inevitably lead to the ending of the two sides turning their faces.

Of course, it can also be said that a transaction is a transaction, and there are no factors other than the transaction, but the transaction between countries is not so simple. The two parties are neither allies nor have any historical relationship. Who is sadder?

In this kind of psychological bottom-line game, quite a few Nether lords would say that they don’t care about it without hindrance, but it is impossible for Xiaduo and Iolum, the lords who value ordinary people, to do so.

In other words, since Xia Duo took the lead in using [Light of Annihilation] to annihilate the dark clouds, he has already fallen into a disadvantage in a sense, and anyone who has the conditions to do better can use this to control him.

It's just that whether the scale is "extreme pressure" or "just right" is the choice of different people. Judging from the current practice of Calinshan, what they do does not make Xia Duo hate it.

"Then who do you want to send to the south? Teacher, you know that there is still a grudge between Zam Dass and me. Although it seems to be calm now, who knows the real situation?"

"This is indeed a problem, but it's useless for us to close the door here and discuss on our own. We also need to communicate with other members of parliament."

So Iolum proposed, "I'm going to touch the attitude of the Seven Towers, and you also hurry up to talk about the tone of other members. When I come back from the Seven Towers, I will call an impromptu meeting of the members."

"Well, teacher, you can go, I will contact other congressmen right away."

……

If it was in the past, if Xia Duo wanted to contact other great arcanists, he might not be able to contact all of them. After all, not everyone had exchanged contact information with him.

But today, after the signing of the new covenant, at the official meeting of the members not long ago, the remote conference system of the Tower of Time was passed. With the help of this system, it is easy to contact other members of the assembly.

What Iolum said about calling an ad hoc meeting was actually through this teleconferencing system, which is indeed much more convenient than going to Sevington in person or using a projection to hold a meeting in person.

As long as the time is coordinated with all parties, a meeting can be started almost anytime, anywhere.

……

Not long after, Iolum came back, and the two had a brief chat, and then they separated. Xia Duo returned to his exclusive laboratory in the Arcane Federation and started the remote conference system of the council.

Almost all the councilors were present, including Niya, who was far in the south, and also participated using the teleconferencing system.

At the meeting, Xia Duo succinctly described what happened. Of course, it was different from the angle he introduced to Iolum at the beginning. At the meeting, he talked about how to solve the upcoming snow disaster.

Counting the private contact with other congressmen just now, I don't know how many times he has introduced this, but in doing things, there must be a beginning and an end.

After Xia Duo finished his speech, some members immediately expressed their approval. This was actually done in advance. Except for a very small number of people, almost all members were in favor of taking the initiative to solve the snow disaster in advance instead of waiting for the snow to fall to make up for it.

"It seems that everyone has no objection to Mr. Xia Duo's proposal. Next, I will ask Mr. Xia Duo to introduce how to take the initiative to solve the snow disaster. I think this is also of interest to many people."

Badigal was in control of the meeting process, and because he had communicated with Iolum in advance, he was more interested in advancing the meeting process at this time. After all, even he didn't know much about the details of the so-called water vapor migration, let alone other people.

"Okay, everyone."

Xia Duo saw that everyone was looking at him, so he said the water vapor migration plan, "This plan was originally proposed by a scholar from Calimshan. It can use the powerful wind element to cover the whole of Netheril. The dark clouds in the surrounding area will migrate to other places, thus avoiding the heavy snowfall that will start in half a month."

"This plan sounds good, but can the Calishans really do it? Even if they can, we can all imagine the difficulty of such a thing, so what do we need to pay?"

Of course, this is also a question that Xia Duo communicated in advance. The purpose is to reveal the whole story of the matter, and at the same time form a joint force and consensus to force other congressmen who are resistant to this proposal to agree to this matter.

"Different from your impression of being rich and wanting nothing, Calimshan is actually a desert country that is extremely short of fresh water resources. It is not difficult for us to face the elemental plane of water, but it is not so easy for them , and because their land is not a naturally formed desert, but caused by elemental wars, it is far more difficult to govern than a normal desert environment."

Xia Duo talked eloquently, and casually projected the scenes he saw during his previous travels in the south, and then continued to answer the question from the congressman just now—

"In this case, Calimshan only asks us to set the destination of water vapor migration in Netheril in Calimshan, and is willing to help us deal with this matter for free."

"Then if so much water vapor is removed, will it cause any irreversible damage to Netheril's own environment and climate?" Another MP questioned.

"There will be a certain impact, which may reduce the precipitation next year, but if there is any irreversible damage, it will not be possible."

Although Xia Duo didn't explain this in detail, everyone is a spellcaster at the pinnacle of the Nether magic system, so they naturally understand the difference in difficulty between addition and subtraction.

If it is just a lack of water, Netheril has a lot of means to solve it. In fact, except for places with a high degree of development like the mainland, most of the other places are still a primitive landform, with patches of forests, which can be Keep plenty of water.

For example, there are too many undeveloped forests around Daxia. Even on the Kangqi Plain, there are fewer forests and more grasslands, but there are also dense water networks, so droughts are unlikely.

For Netheril today, it is far less difficult to solve the scarcity of certain resources than it is to solve the overflow of certain existence.

The thick dark clouds covering the whole area right now are one of them. Nether Mage can hardly solve it. If there is a lack of water, it will be easier.

Another example is the murloc problem and the beastman problem that have not been completely resolved until today. The latter caused more damage, but the solution is actually not as difficult as the former.

Every summer, a large number of murlocs would attack the mouth of the Nether River. Although they would not cause much damage, they would come once a year, which not only blocked the sea transportation, but also caused a lot of pollution.

Of course, there will always be a few unlucky people who die at the hands of murlocs every year.

This is still near Sevington, and there are many murlocs in the inland river basin. Lake Mecht used to be the breeding base for the murlocs of Kilan Tower, and it is normal for one or two to escape occasionally.

If there is any black hand, even the inland river basin will encounter a wave of murlocs, just like what Xia Duo encountered in the southern border.
