Lord of Arcane

Of course, in this case, there is another possibility, which is to keep hiding until the family produces a high-ranking mage, but even so, it is not a real high-ranking family.

Because this is just an example, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is luck. The real upper family needs to have a stable inheritance, and the high-ranking mages can be passed down from generation to generation.

If it is only one generation, although it can also attack the upper family, once the only high-ranking mage passes away, the fate of being carve up is unavoidable.

The so-called "virtue does not match, there will be disasters", nothing more than this.

Therefore, the real rulers of the elf world are not individual countries, crown kings, or parliaments, but high-ranking families.

No matter what kind of reform is carried out in a specific country, as long as it cannot touch the upper family, it is basically a change of soup but not a change of medicine. This is the main reason why Xia Duo is not very optimistic about Evereska's reform.

Because there are too few high-ranking families in Evereska, there are so few variables, let alone misjudgments, that they can sit down and trade frankly.

Moreover, Evereska's basic board is too small, so small that even if one family is unsatisfactory, all upper-level families may be unsatisfactory. In this case, it is easy to reach a compromise.

And the same reform, Yeerlan's situation is different, there are enough high-ranking families, and Yeerlan's basic board is big enough, even if someone wants to overturn the chessboard, the big deal is to fight a game, as long as the hostiles are killed, the broken basic board is enough to survive The family was divided.

In addition, there are enough high-ranking families, and it is extremely difficult to want the interests of all the families to be completely consistent. In this case, forming a clique is almost an inevitable choice.

But once the camp is separated, it will be very difficult to bridge it. Not only is the opponent worried, but also those in the own camp will not be happy.

Ye Erlan's successful reforms all have seized the most critical moment in the development of the situation, such as the crisis of the demons, the rise of Nether, and so on.

But even so, Yeerlan Mianwang did not complete all his achievements because of the rudeness of the Sluwende War. The centralization of power was centralized, but it was only externally centralized, and internally there were still opposing camps - Mianwang and Gaoshu Council of Elders.

This is the difference in the difficulty of reforming countries of different sizes, and it is actually the difference in the difficulty of birthing emerging upper-class families.

Evereska is too small, and there is no extra room for development for emerging upper-ranking families. In this case, even if the Great Xia Code is introduced, it will be difficult to produce qualitative changes-popular education or the emergence of new upper-ranking families.

On the contrary, big countries like Yeerlan still have ample room for development and can accommodate more high-ranking families.

Of course, this only refers to the present, and there may be new opportunities in the future!

According to Xia Duo's cognition, universal education may produce more high-ranking families to usurp the current interests of Evereska, but universal education also means that Evereska's comprehensive national strength has become stronger.

It is completely possible to expand externally to add new development space. In addition, development space is not either/or, but exists in various parallel fields.

As long as a new field is opened up, it will be a brand new development space, enough to accommodate more than one high-ranking family.

If Evereska's existing high-ranking families can figure out the development opportunities, it may be the opportunity for Evereska's real rise.

Of course, rising is one thing. If it wants to surpass regional powers such as Yeerlan and Irfarang, Evereska's own size is still too small.

Perhaps an alliance of small countries is their real path to development.

Of course, Xia Duo only reminded them deliberately. After all, if a new field appeared, he would also want a share of the pie. Not only he, but also Yeerlan and other countries could not get around it. It might not be Everest's turn. Cards occupy development space at will.

As for now, the Northland Alliance takes the supreme inheritance as a reward, which is actually giving them an admission certificate for a high-ranking family endorsed by the alliance!

Xia Duo felt that there must be someone with malicious intentions, perhaps because he felt that he was close to Evereska, and wanted him to keep this certificate in Evereska, thereby disrupting Evereska's normal life. The pace of development.

A small family in a big country can get this certificate, but a big family in a small country can't get it. Once they get it, they will either leave the small country to develop in a big country, or there will be civil strife in the small country.

If someone really has such thoughts, then this guy's heart is really dark!
……

After sighing, Sha Duo weighed the Secret Scroll of the Supreme Heritage of Elf Magic in his hand, and then asked Doom tentatively: "Do you know what this is?"

"I don't know, I have never dealt with this remuneration, but according to the usual practice, the Northland Alliance generally only provides standard mithril as a temporary invitation remuneration. If you become an employee of the alliance, you can get additional benefits within the alliance."

Dumu briefly introduced the compensation mechanism of the Northland Alliance. The reward given to Shado this time was actually a pile of standard mithril ingots worth more than [-] gold coins. As for the extra, Dumu also had an explanation——

"The extra should be the compensation given to the alliance by the country concerned, and the alliance will generally share this part of the compensation with the corresponding parties."

The implication is that Dum doesn't know what the extra remuneration the Northland Alliance gave Xia Duo is, but what is certain is that the extra remuneration comes from Ye Erlan, and Xia Duo is only getting part of it now.

"Who has the right to decide what extra compensation to give?" Xia Duo asked again.

"Under normal circumstances, the director of the corresponding agency involved in the incident, such as me, has the authority to adjust the extra remuneration for you, but this time I am the person involved, and I am from Netheril like you, so I avoided it."

"Does this mean that one of the other two directors of the Demon Intelligence Research Laboratory is the one who selected these extra rewards for me this time?"

"No, Brad was also a witness to the incident. He should have avoided it too. It should be McGlore who really made the decision. Of course, it may also be the director or even the representative above."

After finishing speaking, Doom added, "Any decision made by the Northland Alliance will be recorded. This is easy to check. Do Lord Shadow need me to check?"

"Then if you go to check, will you leave a record?"

"I will too."

"Then there is no need!"

In fact, Xia Duo already has the answer in his heart. If there is no accident, it should be McGlore, one of the three directors of the Demonic Intelligence Research Office. This guy is from Ye Erlan, and this alone can roughly judge.

But in any case, this incident shows that the interior of the Northland Alliance is not as harmonious as outsiders imagined, and there will always be some discord.

However, Xia Duo had a bolder idea—that McGlore might be a demon descendant, and he was trying his best to sow discord within the alliance.

This time, he seized the opportunity to give him extra rewards and sent out the supreme inheritance, but if you think about it this way, there must be demons in Yeerlan cooperating with him.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Xia Duo has already written down this matter, but he will not deliberately pursue it, because he has more important things to do, and it is more important to grasp the key points.

As far as the Northern Alliance is concerned, it is the most important thing to promote research related to the timeline as soon as possible. The demons hide so deeply, and it is too passive to keep investigating.

To hit a snake is to hit seven inches, and to clarify the issues related to the timeline, no matter how deep the demons hide and cannot complete the ritual to subvert the timeline, it is useless. (end of this chapter)
