Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2750 Goodbye Philifa Local Spellcasting Permissions
Xia Duo guessed that a high-ranking family in Yeerlan might really be in trouble this time. King Mian would use this to establish his authority and speed up the process of gathering local power.

The parliament may feel at a loss, but as long as the crown prince has a tough attitude and has sufficient reasons, it will be difficult for the parliament to completely unite.

The Mianwang camp is not limited to the administrative system. In fact, there are many staunch supporters of Mianwang within the Gaoshu Council of Elders, but these elders do not constitute the majority.

It may not be easy to get them to push for something, but it may not be that difficult to disrupt the decision-making process of the parliament itself.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of schadenfreude for the Yuejiao family's situation.

Of course, in front of Hildalanna, he wouldn't show it so obviously, but he also looked like he didn't care:
"so what?"

"Lord Xia Duo's words of support will have a great impact on the Yuejiao family's situation."

"Your request really makes me feel very embarrassed."

Chateau once again expressed his refusal, but this time he changed his perspective, "You should know that I abide by the five principles of peaceful coexistence. One of the most important ones is complementary interference in internal affairs. I really have no reason to do this."

"Don't you want to promote the Void Warehouse of the Tower of Time to Ellan? Just like you did in Everriska. You must know that the market in Ellan is far from that of Everriska."

"Is this a threat?" Xia Duo expressed his position without hesitation, "To be honest, if we have to use principles to make transactions, then I would rather never enter the Yeerlan market!"

Of course, Xia Duo knew that with the help of the Yuejiao family, the Void Warehouse could easily enter the Yeerlan market. Even if it only occupied a small part of the market share, it would still be better than in Everesca.

But as he said, principles cannot be traded.

Previously, when Evereska announced the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence after his reminder, he had publicly expressed his support.

Therefore, even if it actually violates the principle, it cannot be said publicly. This is a huge loss of credibility.

"No, Lord Xia Duo, you have misunderstood. I also fully agree with the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, but the favor I want to ask you for does not involve interfering in internal affairs. It is just to protect Yue when King Mian violates the contract. The Horn family would like to express a word or two of solidarity and allow us to apply for arbitration from the Northland Alliance.”

Hildalanna's tone was sincere. She had sacrificed too much for the survival of her family.

But Xia Duo asked instead: "Do you think King Helianmian will do anything that violates the contract?"

This is not easy to answer. Hildarana naturally cannot leave such an obvious clue. "I don't think he will do this, but this does not prevent me from reminding you to make some preparations. The survival of the family is a big deal, no matter how safe it is, It’s too much.”

"Okay, I understand. But I still refuse, for the reasons just mentioned. In addition, I don't think King Helion will do anything specifically to target the Moonhorn family at the grand banquet, unless the Moonhorn family interferes. Into the Metrill incident.”

"Impossible, the Yuejiao family is definitely not involved in any conspiracy related to the demon descendants!"

Upon hearing that Xia Duo actually suspected that her family had an affair with the demon descendant, Hildalanna's expression suddenly changed, "If someone else said this, I might not refute anything, but Lord Xia Duo, you should know very well that back then, We raided the secret base of the demon together, and even one of my loved ones died at the hands of the demon. Anyone in Erlan could have an affair with the demon, but I would never!" A loved one died at the hands of the demon?
Sha Duo had never heard Hildalana mention this before, but he knew that a member of the Moon Horn Family died at the hands of a demon descendant, and maybe it was that beloved one.

The raid on the demon base was indeed carried out by him and Hildalanna, along with Puman, who came from the Sweetwater Plane and has now become independent from the Seven Towers.

Judging from Hildalanna's sensitive attitude towards the demon descendant issue, Shado was willing to believe that the other party would not have an affair with the demon descendant, but this was also not the reason for his agreement, but he proposed another plan -

"It is impossible for me to interfere in the internal affairs of Ye Erlan, but based on the friendship between you and me, if a member of the Yuejiao family comes to Daxia Territory, I will give him the status of a distinguished guest to protect him from any external factors. .”

In layman's terms, it means that they are willing to provide political asylum, provided that members of the Yuejiao family can go to Daxia territory, instead of letting Xia Duo take the initiative to fish for people in Yeerlan, even if he just opens his mouth to fish for people.

This promise is actually very important. At the very least, it can ensure that the Yuejiao family can live a stable life in Daxia Territory, just like the Silver Leaf family where Oripus belongs.

It is rare, but not unprecedented, for elves to settle in Netheril. The closest ones include the Silverleaf family and the Stardew family, also from Cormanthor, now settled in Severton.

Far away, there was a honeymoon period between Netheril and Erlan in the past history. Humans and elves combined to give birth to half-elves who were not suitable for elven society. Later, the relationship between the two countries took a turn for the worse, and only a few half-elves followed them. The elven father or mother returned to Erlan, and the rest basically stayed in Netheril.

But not all elves who combined with humans returned to Ellan, and some chose to stay in Netheril without leaving their children and significant other.

Today, Gustav's Tower, one of the seven towers, is where half-elves gather. Of course, after so many years of reproduction, the elves' blood has been diluted a lot, and the majority is still human blood.

The current leader of the Seven Towers, Badigal, is such a human with elven blood. His hatred for elves, especially the Yelan elves, almost permeates his blood.

However, since taking over the leadership responsibility of the princess, he has made fewer and fewer remarks in public that are not conducive to the relationship between the two countries.

Xia Duo is actually happy to see the Yuejiao family settle in the Daxia Territory. After all, the Daxia order he established is not based on blood identity, but more on cultural identity and order identity.

……

Regarding Shado's new plan, Hildalanna was silent for a long time, as if it was difficult to accept the possibility that her family would become a protected person, and also a human protector.

"Lord Xiaduo, I—"

"I personally have no prejudice against elves, and I welcome any elves who are willing to abide by the order of Daxia to travel or settle in Daxia."

Hearing this, Hildalanna vaguely remembered that this was not the first time she heard such words from Sha Duo. She might have disdained it before, but now, she feels that this human being is really different from other human beings. .
