Lord of Arcane

Larian also expressed his understanding of Shado's speculation, because Evereska thought the same way, "We checked and found no traces of being affected by psychic spells. For this reason, we also specially found a psychic mage. examine.

"As for whether he is a demon, we have also entrusted the Northland Alliance Demon Intelligence Research Laboratory to conduct an inspection. The inspection is second only to the recruitment conditions of the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory. That is, except for direct spiritual inquiry, other inspections are required. All checked.

"In addition, we also asked Danzuo to conduct a detailed investigation on the tribe where the adventurer belongs, and no suspicion was found."

From the time the adventurer broke the news about the giant mithril mine in the tavern to when Sha Duo came to learn about the situation, it only took one night.

And on this night, various countries first sent people to confirm the existence of mithril mines, and then began to investigate the matter. This efficiency was extremely fast even in the human country, let alone in the elven world.

……

"What about the four adventurers he traveled with? Have they also done some research?"

To this question, Larian also gave an affirmative answer. Of course, no abnormality was found in the result. Everything showed that this time was a complete accident.

Whether it is an unexpected surprise or an unexpected surprise depends on the attitudes of various countries.

But no matter what, even if it is an unexpected surprise, all countries are willing to work together to carve up the mithril mines. Sharing the cake itself is also a laborious and laborious task. No one can say who will get how much share.

Every country hopes to get the largest share. When all countries think so, disputes arise.

Even how to distribute it within the country is also a problem. This is different from the mineral vein discovered somewhere in the country. There is always a saying about who belongs to it. Who doesn’t want to get an extra share of this kind of unexpected wealth outside the territory?

This also includes Xia Duo, whose territory is currently building the parking base of Yongle City, namely Yongle Plaza, which requires a large amount of gold and mithril. In addition, the subsequent construction of Yongle City also requires a large amount of mithril.

Even if these two things are not available, there is nothing wrong with collecting more Mithril. This is what every force will do.

Even Xia Duo is excited and wants to occupy the largest share, let alone others. Xia Duo knows restraint, but others may not.

As if something suddenly occurred to him, Sha Duo quickly asked: "By the way, what is Amarinda's reaction to this news?"

"Amarinda——"

Larian glanced at Shado thoughtfully and replied: "Amarinda has not responded at all to this, but Danzo has been lobbying various countries to support Amarinda's attack on the Gray Peak Mountains at the Alliance Conference. Enjoy the right of first possession.”

"You're now lobbying other countries?"

Xia Duo secretly laughed. Sure enough, you can't underestimate anyone. Even the dwarves are not honest these days. You must know that the first issue after the establishment of the Northland Alliance was to determine the boundaries of each country.

Although this issue has been discussed for a long time before the final result is reached, after all, there is a result and a conclusion.

Amarinda is different from the other three dwarf countries in the alliance. This country's territory is completely underground and in the dark area. If the dwarves of Amarinda want to get to the surface, the easiest way is to go to the neighboring country Danzo. Then come out of Askol.Or it can be said that Ascor is the exit from the Underdark shared by Danzo and Amarinda, but the ownership belongs to Danzo.

Danzo will not talk about the other three dwarf countries. Ascor is its surface city, Besmore also has its own surface city, and Shafir is a little more special. It also has a surface city, but it is in Cormanthor. within the territory.

Moreover, the surface of the earth belongs to Cormanso, and the underground part belongs to Shafir.

But this does not affect the fact that Amarinda is a member of the Northland Alliance. The Northland includes the surface and the underground. In fact, there is also a branch of dwarves underground in Netheril, but it is a branch corrupted by drow.

Danzo, Amarinda, Shafir, and Cormanso are all enemies, so it is naturally impossible for them to join in.

If we strictly follow the previous agreement reached by the Northland Alliance on the delineation of the boundaries of various countries, although Amarinda is located exactly under the Gray Peak Mountains, it does not have ownership of the Gray Peak Mountains on the surface.

That area is divided into a neutral buffer zone and does not belong to any country. The reason why the buffer zone can be divided there is that Netheril also made concessions and promised to allow the Langath people to establish an independent country and join it if conditions are suitable in the future. Northland Alliance.

In this way, they obtained a vast territory that encompassed the entire Langas Plain and its southern forest. They also received the promise of independent nation-building and the dwarfs on the Yellow Maple Hills in the southern part of the Konchi Plain in Nese.

However, the establishment of an independent nation by the dwarves was a unilateral commitment of Netheril and had nothing to do with the Northland Alliance. The reason was because the dwarves had made contributions to Netheril in the snowmelt competition, and Cormanthor had been playing tricks on the dwarves. At that time, seven The tower simply liberated the dwarfs and gave them a place to recuperate, namely the Yellow Maple Hills.

In other words, the Northland Alliance can have at least two more member states in the future, and both of them are close to Netheril, which can further consolidate Netheril's dominant position in the Northland Alliance.

Unlike the areas that have been promised to establish a nation, the Gray Peak Mountains area has no similar commitment at all. Even if it is really Amarinda's territory, it is very likely that it will be possible when the previous discussions on the division of territories between countries were so intense. was taken out as a buffer area.

What's more, that place is not Amarinda's territory. Just because it occupies the Dark Territory, it cannot claim sovereignty over the surface above the Dark Territory. This is unreasonable.

On the other hand, just because it occupies the surface of the earth, it does not mean that it has sovereignty over the dark areas below the earth's surface.

The Northland Alliance has clearly defined the boundaries, and it is impossible to make an exception for Danzo, so this time Danzo lobbied all countries and asked them to support Amarinda's preemptive right to the Gray Peak Mountains.

Regardless of whether the preemptive right can really be obtained, at least it can be used as an argument when dividing the cake in the future, which can allow Amarinda to share more. However, Amarinda has limited strength and cannot really eat the cake, so it will naturally be up to the brothers. Danzuo of Zhiguo did it for him.

However, Chateau did not ask Larian Everesca what they thought of Danzo's lobbying. It would be useless to ask now. It is impossible for Everesca to express his position easily before the situation becomes clear.

And he felt that Evereska might not have the idea of ​​using this incident to strengthen herself.

After that, Xia Duo asked some more details about the investigation of the dwarf adventurer before saying goodbye and leaving. As for the location of the mithril mine, there was no need to ask, because it was no longer a secret and had been spread everywhere.

He already knew about it before meeting Larian, but he just hadn't gone to check it out on the spot. (End of chapter)
