Lord of Arcane

Next, Shado continued to interpret Puffin's consciousness, but this was a big project. While the ontology was interpreting the consciousness, he was incarnated in Everesca and frequently visited the public library, trying to find the possible identity of the wise man.

Needless to say, the result is that for a person who is proficient in prophecy, it couldn't be easier to erase the traces of his own existence.

Not to mention that the Illuminati has also mastered a more sophisticated method, which is the so-called correction of the trajectory of fate, and can even make an event look like it never happened.

There is such a facility in the Devil's Secret Palace. After the Devil completes the mission, the first thing he needs to do is not to receive the mission reward or anything else, but to go back to the Secret Palace to correct his own fate and avoid being traced by the outside world.

Although he already knew that his actions might not have any consequences, Xia Duo still did it. As the saying goes, "A wise man will make a mistake after thinking a lot." What if the so-called wise man really made such a "mistake"!

And it's not just Evereska, he will also find ways to check public libraries in other places one by one. The reason on the surface is of course the so-called "well-read". As long as he doesn't tell the real purpose behind the scenes, is it possible that the Illuminati will Can you still get into his belly?

……

Time often flies when people need it. A week has passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Xia Duo wanted to get a copy of Puffin's consciousness for interpretation like he did some time ago, but unexpectedly received a message from Everesca - —

The Friendship Tower was completed ahead of schedule, and Schneider, the person in charge of Cole Construction, notified Chateau to send someone to inspect it!

"So soon?"

Chateau was a little confused, because according to the original plan, it should be delivered around the end of the month, and if you take into account Cole Construction's habitual delays in the past, his original expectation was to deliver it before May. Thank God.

I didn’t expect it to be so far in advance!

So he couldn't help but wonder why Cole Construction was so efficient this time. Thinking about this, Shado sent a message to Schneider and asked why the progress of the Friendship Tower was advanced.

During this period of time, he has been busy interpreting Puffin's consciousness at the Tower of Time, and has paid little attention to the movements of the outside world. At most, he has listened to some rumors that reached the ears of researchers from the Lingsi Network of the Time-related Magic Research Laboratory.

But these rumors never involve the Friendship Tower.

The best person to ask this question is the person involved. It happened that Schneider had just summoned him, so he asked back.

Schneider's answer was completely unexpected by Shado. He originally thought that it might be the supervision effect of Clark and the others who were sent there to study, but the actual situation was not like this.

"Recently, negotiations between various countries have reached a deadlock. The Everesca Council of Elders has put a lot of pressure on us, hoping to complete the Friendship Tower as soon as possible as an opportunity for a breakthrough in negotiations."

Although this answer was unexpected, it was also reasonable. What Xia Duo didn't expect was that the elves would also play this trick, so he replied that he would arrange for acceptance as soon as possible.

Then he turned around and handed over this task to Oripus. Of course, Oripus did not need to do the specific acceptance. He just needed to find a construction workshop with relevant qualifications in Everesca. .

The Friendship Tower construction project was not given to Vidas Workshop before, so it would be good to hand it over to Vidas for the acceptance process now.

...After explaining the acceptance matters, Sha Duo wanted to continue to interpret Puffin's consciousness, but after thinking about it, he sent a message to Badigal asking about the specific situation of the negotiations between various countries.

After a while, Badigal sent a message and replied, "All countries basically agree on the distribution principles of Netheril, but we can't agree on who will get how much."

"What about our plan? Do other countries not agree?"

"Including Elfaran, the other four countries do not accept the same share as Netheril." Badigal's tone was helpless, but Netheril could not give in on this issue.

From the beginning of the Northern Alliance, Netheril has belonged to the five major countries. Although everyone knows that there are differences between the countries, at least they are all on the same line.

And now if Netheril's share is obviously less than that of the other countries, no matter how much less, as long as it is less, it means that Netheril is one level lower than the other four countries!
Netheril would rather go to war than accept such terms.

Xia Duo also didn't expect that the negotiation stalemate mentioned by Schneider would actually be deadlocked here!The other four countries obviously still have the idea of ​​​​suppressing Netheril, but Netheril still refuses to give in.

This is different from the previous magic restriction treaty. Although everyone knows that it is aimed at Netheril, at least it is fair to all countries.

In other words, because its own strength is indeed inferior to the other four countries, Netheril can accept some implicit concessions, but it can never accept concessions of even one copper coin on the surface. We have to hold on, otherwise the character will collapse and the result will only be worse.

Xia Duo can understand, but how to solve this dilemma now?
……

After thinking for a moment, a flash of light suddenly broke into his mind. Sha Duo suddenly had an idea. He felt like contacting Badigal and putting forward his own suggestions——

"The other four countries believe that Netheril does not have enough strength to get the same share as them, so on the basis of the five countries getting the same share, they will leave another part of the share and let each country send representatives to compete for this part of the share through the snow melting competition, and even Small countries can also reserve part of their share for the snow melting competition.”

This is of course done to resolve differences. Since you think Netheril is not strong enough, whoever of you is strong enough should come and participate in the snowmelt competition, and seize the share you deserve in the competition.

The original origin of the Snow Melting Competition was a magical exchange event between Netheril and Ellan during their honeymoon period. However, as the relationship between the two countries turned, it became an important way for Netheril and Ellan to resolve their differences. Later, countries such as Cormanthor also Got involved.

It now seems that this snow-melting competition can develop into an important event similar to the Olympic Games on Earth. Through participation in the competition, differences that are difficult to resolve through normal channels can be transformed into a relatively peaceful competitive confrontation.

If this method can be realized, the order in the North will be further consolidated, and Netheril will also gain prestige.

Of course, in the future, the snowmelting competition does not have to be held in Severington. Other cities in other countries in the Northland Alliance can also apply to host it, just like the Olympics on Earth.

While introducing his idea to Badigal, Shado was also sorting out and improving this plan. In the end, he felt more and more that this method was feasible.

The most important thing is to find a theoretically feasible solution to the differences that will be difficult to bridge between countries in the future!
I think other countries also hope to have such a method. Even if it is only theoretically feasible, they can at least give it a try. Whether it is good or not is another matter later. If it really doesn't work, just adjust it.

Is there a better solution than this now? (End of chapter)
