Lord of Arcane

However, with Xia Duo's current status, many times it is no longer "what he needs", but "whether he wants to or not".

In the current situation, Xia Duo simply gave way to Larian's extended hand, and returned a relatively simple Nether mage salute.

Larian is not the lord of the elves, not to mention the Naishi return gift based on equality, even if he angrily reprimanded the other party for not understanding the taboos of Neishi mages, for Xia Duo, there is no unacceptable consequence.

Of course, doing this is also telling Larian, don't try to use the elf's discourse system to trap him. If you want to cooperate seriously, you should start from the principle of equality between the two parties for mutual benefit, rather than unilateral use.

Regarding this, La Ryan's face changed, but he calmed down quickly, and then invited Xia Duo to sit in the living room in a more acceptable way.

……

"Lord Xiaduo, I heard President Orepus mention the street lamp advertisement before, and I think there is a lot of meaning in it, so the invited Lord Xiaduo wants to learn more about it."

After the two parties sat down, La Ryan spoke first, but he didn't directly mention the cooperation, but asked about the street light advertisement mentioned by Orepus before.

Xia Duo had expected Larian to ask this question a long time ago, so he repeated what he said to Orepus before, "About the street light advertisement, I first thought of it from the ribbons hung at the celebration.

"In ordinary cities, ribbons may not necessarily be hung, but there can also be some similar things. If certain products are displayed on it, wouldn't it be a good means of publicity?
"Considering that this kind of booth specially set up for advertising should not be bounded by sacrificing the beauty of the city, I thought of street lights. This is the easiest place in the city to maintain a consistent style and become a booth."

"I see!"

Larian showed a thoughtful expression, and then added: "In addition to street lights, maybe we can also set up some special booths, such as sculptures based on a certain product or chamber of commerce, or even a sky projection."

Hearing this, Xia Duo smiled immediately, "Elder Larian said that this is actually just an idea and an introduction. Once you think about it, the specific application methods are actually very extensive."

"But the first person to think of it is the talent of Lord Xia Duo!"

Xia Duo didn't take Larian's compliment seriously. He believed that elves must have proposed similar ideas in the past countless years, but the business form of elf society was still relatively primitive.

The "primitive" here is not only the business itself, but also the society. The phenomenon of the strong preying on the weak is everywhere, and there are definite numbers for how big the power is and how big the chamber of commerce is.

After a long period of running-in, there has long been a set of fixed rules, no matter whether it is a large chamber of commerce or a small chamber of commerce, it will abide by it. For things like professional advertising space, the large chamber of commerce does not need it, and the small chamber of commerce cannot afford it. It is really useless.

That is to say, Xia Duo is a human being, and completely ignores these unspoken rules inside the elves. If it were an ordinary elf, even if he could raise it, he would not raise it.

It is almost impossible to change fate through commercial means in today's elf society, because there is no pure business here.

However, after the establishment of the Northland Alliance, the situation of each country is different, especially Evereska, as the headquarters of the Northland Alliance, can be called "the best place in Kyoto".

After all, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at it, so there should be some relatively pure commercial operations.

In fact, it doesn't matter if there is one or not. Xia Duo's real purpose is not to standardize the business operation rules for Evereska, but the streetlight advertisements themselves.

Of course, it would be great if a set of effective norms can be formed, and it can be implemented in other countries when he leads the Northern Alliance in the future.

……

In this meeting, street lamp advertisements were not the focus, and neither side had any intention of going deeper into this topic. La Ryan quickly mentioned the real purpose of this meeting——

"Not long ago, the Council of Elders discussed the intention to introduce the Great Xia Law Code. I was entrusted by the Council to negotiate with Lord Xia Duo on the exchange of codes. In fact, if President Oripus hadn't asked for an interview this time, I would have invited Lord Xia Duo to Everey Scar to discuss."

"Efriska wants to introduce the Great Xia Law Code?" Xia Duo was shocked.

This is not a trivial matter. Before coming here, he thought of many possibilities in the meeting, but he never expected to talk about this!
"Can I ask why Evereska did this?"

"There are two main reasons. One is that the Great Xia Code is currently recognized as the most complete code, and the other is that Evereska needs to change. Two reasons contributed to Evereska's decision to introduce the Great Xia Code. .”

Later, Elder Larian further explained why Evereska needed to change, "All the countries in the Northland are undergoing reforms, the nearest one is Yeerlan, and the distant Netheril and Comanthor are all changing.

"Although Evereska's national power is not as strong as those of the major countries, its wisdom is not weaker than others. The current Northland is at an unprecedented historical turning point.

"If Evereska wants to keep pace with the development of various countries, the first step is of course to clarify the internal order. The introduction of the Great Xia Code is a good entry point."

"I see!"

Xia Duo once had the idea that even if he does nothing to the outside world, as long as he manages his territory well, everything in the outside world will change because of him.

And now, that idea seems to be coming to fruition, and with increasing impact.

Why there are so many changes in the current Northland, all the source is because of the establishment of the Northland Alliance, and the establishment of the Northland Alliance may not be known to others, but Xia Duo himself is very clear.

Although he was not the main factor in the establishment of the Northern Alliance, he also gave a small push.

The establishment of the Northland Alliance has intensified the exchanges between countries and provided a more stable development environment, which has also brought about more intense but relatively positive competition.

The competition between countries, on the one hand, depends on the volume, and on the other hand, the mobilization efficiency of various resources. In this regard, the centralized system is undoubtedly the most advantageous.

Therefore, countries have carried out centralization reforms one after another. The new covenant of Netheril was signed not long ago, which can be regarded as laying the foundation for centralization. Now it is Evereska's turn to do so.

Of course, Xia Duo is happy to see Evereska's reform and improvement, and the introduction of the Great Xia Law Code by the other party is also conducive to the expansion of the Great Xia's order. He agrees and cannot refuse.

After carefully considering the possible impact of this matter, he still agreed.

There is no need for Evereska to go through Xia Duo if he wants to introduce the Daxia Codex. After all, the Codex has been made public a long time ago, and there are no patents. Whoever wants to use it can just use it directly.

But the exchange of codes is different. This is not only the process of learning Evereska, but also the process of Xia Duo exerting influence on Evereska.

Countries may complain about this, but he really can't refuse. (end of this chapter)
