Lord of Arcane

Sha Duo first contacted Puman and asked him to help meet other people. Although Puman was not outstanding among the great arcanists in the three planes of Tianshui in the past, Puman played a huge role in the independence of the three planes. As a result, he gained a lot of reputation.

The relationship between Puman and Xia Duo was also in the process of becoming independent in three dimensions. It was a safer choice to ask Puman to help meet other people instead of meeting directly.

Regarding Xia Duo's request, although Puman knew that he might be a lobbyist for the Seven Towers, he still helped contact Avarus, one of the three sweetwater councilors who had the highest demand for compensation from the Seven Towers.

And from Puman's mouth, Shado also learned that Avarus was the main leader of the three-faced congressman from Sweetwater who used the mithril mine incident to threaten the Seven Towers.

There was no way around each other, so Xia Duo chose to meet him directly.

……

Severton South.

A mage club that was built and opened not long ago. This is where Puman helped Sha Duo make an appointment with Avarus. Sha Duo arrived at the club early, found a secluded corner on the second floor, sat down and waited.

Before the first glass of wine was finished, a middle-aged man with a burly build and a majestic face appeared in front of Sha Duo. This was Avarus. Sha Duo had met him several times before and had private talks with him, but What is discussed is more superficial.

I never thought that this guy would be so indifferent between public and private affairs, but Xia Duo didn't show anything strange on his face. He stood up to welcome him, "Congressman Avarus, long time no see, let's sit down and chat."

"Long time no see indeed."

Shado also played a key role in the independence of the three dimensions of Sweetwater, so even on the surface, Avarus never showed any disrespect to Shado. .

After the two parties sat down, Sha Duo summoned the attendant at the mage club to serve another bottle of fruit wine. When the wine glass was full, Sha Duo did not go around in circles and went straight to the point:
"What does Congressman Avarus think of the mithril mine discovered in the Gray Peak Mountains?"

Avarus was somewhat surprised that Xia Duo was so direct. He said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Seven Towers would ask you to be this lobbyist."

"The Seven Towers are not looking for me, but I am looking for the Seven Towers. This Mithril Mine incident seems to be a pie falling from the sky, but it also contains a huge crisis. Once handled improperly, the countries in the North will fall into eternal In the midst of endless war.”

Of course, Shado would not admit that the purpose of his meeting with the other party was to be a lobbyist for the Seven Towers. In fact, it was not the case. What he really cared about was how to reach an agreement within Netheril and then propose his plan to the Northland Alliance. .

Even if he had not met Badigal, his original plan was to meet the remaining three sweetwater councilors, but now he found Avarus more accurately.

"It's just a mithril mine, but the reserves are slightly larger. Is it as serious as what you said?" Avarus obviously disagreed with Shado's crisis theory.

So, Xia Duo brought up the demon descendants again, "The Northland Alliance had just established a slight advantage against the demon descendants, and then suddenly this mithril mine that destroyed the unity of the countries suddenly appeared. Even if it was not designed by the demon descendants at the beginning, wouldn't they? Will you seize this opportunity to stir up trouble?"

Most of the people from the three sides of Sweetwater have not personally experienced the demon descendant incident, but the relevant information of the Northland Alliance is public. After the new covenant was signed, the Severnton Council also systematically synchronized a large amount of information from there.

Shado didn't believe that Avarus really knew nothing about the existence of the demons and had no sense of the threat of the demons. If the other party really said that there was no such thing, he would get up and leave immediately, because the other party had no idea at all. The concept of the big picture.The great arcanist says that he is the overall situation. This is true, but it is also a lie. There are so many great arcanists in Netheril, which one can truly represent the overall situation?
It’s not that we need to compromise with all parties. Since there is a compromise, why should we say that we are the overall situation?
If any Grand Arcanist really has no concept of the overall situation and only cares about his own selfish interests, he is actually cutting himself off from everyone else, including other Grand Arcanists like him. (In other words, he is a complete sociopath)

This is of course the time to take advantage of public opinion and kill someone, and Xia Duo doesn't want to get to that point.

"What's wrong with the Northland Alliance? Sorry, I usually pay less attention to matters related to the Northland Alliance. What is the advantage against demons? I don't quite understand. I would like to ask Councilor Xia Duo to explain."

Avarus did not directly deny the threat of demons, but he also raised questions. As for the real-time monitoring of timeline fluctuations, Shado had already revealed it to Iolum, and he did not care to talk to one more person.

The Northland Alliance has not made it public yet, and they are just delaying the announcement as much as possible in order to try "fishing". But obviously if this news is not unexpected, the demon should have known about it, or taken it into consideration.

It has been some time since we established real-time monitoring of timeline fluctuations, and no abnormalities have been found for the time being, but the demons will definitely not stop there and will definitely think of other ways.

That's why Xia Duocai speculated that the mithril mine incident was caused by the demons. The purpose was to disrupt the attention of the countries in the North and even cause conflicts and wars, so that they could take the opportunity to complete the remaining rituals.

Even if this was caused by the demon, it was still an excellent opportunity for the demon. Xia Duo didn't believe that the demon would be stupid enough not to take advantage of it.

……

After learning that the Northland Alliance had been monitoring the key rituals of the Demon Subversion timeline in real time, the expression on Avarus's face became a little solemn.

Indeed, any rational person will remain vigilant at critical time points. At present, the demon descendants have not suffered heavy losses. The individual actions of the Northland Alliance can only eliminate some scattered individual demon descendants. For the demon descendants, this group The real leadership, the Illuminati, remains elusive.

"So what Representative Chateau wants to say is——"

"I will first tell you my own views on the mithril mine. Representative Avarus can listen to it first. If there is anything unreasonable, or if you have anything to add, you can interrupt me at any time."

Then, Xia Duo once again recounted his views on the mithril mine that he had mentioned repeatedly in the past two days. There were nothing more than two points. One is that the mithril mine itself is a crisis and an opportunity. We must try to avoid crises and take advantage of them. opportunity.

The other one is about the specific distribution plan of the mithril mine.

……

Avarus did not interrupt during Shado's narration. When Shado finished speaking, he seemed to still be immersed in thinking. After a while, he came back to his senses and sighed:
"I believe now that you are not here to be a lobbyist for the Seven Towers. I'm sorry, I misunderstood you earlier."

"It doesn't matter. Anyone who knows me well knows that in my eyes, public and private matters are separated. The Mithril Mine incident is not only related to the internal stability of the Northern Alliance, but also related to the future development of Netheril. It is closely related to each of us. Of course, the first First priority." (End of chapter)
