Lord of Arcane

Evereska.

After more than half a year of preparation and several months of non-stop construction, the Friendship Tower in the south of the city was finally completed, and a grand delivery ceremony was held at the end of March.

On the day of the ceremony, guests from all over the North gathered together, and there were also a large number of tourists who came from all over the world to witness this moment, as well as more local elves in Evereska.

In the official promotion of Evereska, the Friendship Tower brings together the diverse styles of all ethnic groups in the North and will become the best place for exchanges and integration of all ethnic groups in the North.

To this end, Evereska even has a larger new district construction plan, preparing to build a Northland multicultural integration center with the Friendship Tower as the core.

If it were just the handover ceremony of the Friendship Tower, it would not be able to attract so many tourists and spectators. Local spectators would be the only ones who could come and watch the excitement nearby, but foreign tourists would have to pay for a visit.

Most of them came here for the ambitious Northland Multicultural Fusion Center plan. Regardless of whether the purpose promoted by Everesca was true or not, the construction of a new city always brought a lot of opportunities.

Before becoming the headquarters of the Northland Alliance, Evereska was an important business center in the North; after becoming the headquarters of the Northland Alliance, Evereska's status became even more important.

In addition to the tourists who were immediately attracted, there are also more small chambers of commerce, down-and-out families and even well-known adventurer teams. They have begun to gear up and wait and see the results of this delivery ceremony to decide whether to transfer chambers of commerce, families, and teams to The next development direction is bet on Everesca.

In comparison, the six-month Daxia New Style Art Exhibition, which was originally the protagonist and will be held after the handover ceremony, now looks a bit bleak.

But in any case, due to the announcement of the new district plan, the New Style Art Exhibition, which was originally just a cultural and artistic exchange between Daxialing and Everriska, may now have a more far-reaching impact.

……

The day after the handover ceremony of the Friendship Tower, Xia Duo rarely walked out of the secret room of Yunfeng Manor, not because the [Boundary Protection] war weapon had been cracked, but because of Badigal's visit.

For this delivery ceremony, Evereska took great pains to invite many heavyweight guests, but very few actually attended in person, and Badigal was one of them.

After all, the handover ceremony of the Friendship Tower was half as good as his own home. Badigal was willing to come to support it, and even if Sha Duo had really important matters, he wouldn't be unable to spare time for the two of them to meet.

Outside Yunfeng Manor, Sha Duo personally greeted Badigal. Considering that Aiboike might have to deal with Badigal in the future, Aiboike was also by his side.

"Your Excellency Badigal, welcome to Yunfeng Manor!"

"Congressman Chateau, I didn't expect you to have such an industry in Everesca. I'm really envious of you!"

Badigal sighed while looking around at Yunfeng Manor, to which Shado laughed, "I have a good personal relationship with Elder Larian of Everriska, so I took over this manor from him.

"As a place of residence, it's indeed pretty good, but as an industry, it's actually not that good. Mr. Buddy Price, please, let's talk as we walk."

With that said, Shaduo took Badigal to the inside of the manor. On the way, Shado formally introduced Aibo to Badigal, and also explained the past position of the manor——

In fact, it is just a stepping stone for small chambers of commerce to expand the scale of their industries and get in touch with upper-class families. It is actually not profitable for them to buy this manor or an industry specially released by such upper-class families.

Xia Duo's manor was a gift from the Jin Feng family, which provided positive income. However, compared to the output of the Tower of Time, this income itself was only a small consolation and was not taken seriously by Xia Duo.What is really valuable about this manor is that it has an independent area in Evereska and the channels through which the manor's products are sold to various countries in the North. The latter, if used properly, can bring benefits far beyond the manor itself.

……

When they arrived at the reception room, as soon as the two parties sat down, Badigal released a shocking news, "Last night, various countries reached a compromise on the distribution of mithril mines in the Gray Peak Mountains!"

Xia Duo was also surprised when he heard this, and asked quickly: "What is the plan now?"

"The revenue from the mithril mine will be divided into nine parts. Each of the five major countries including Netheril will receive one part. The remaining small countries will be divided into two parts based on the data they submitted and verified. The remaining two parts will be split into multiple parts and placed in the arcane." In the competition, representatives from each country will compete, but there is still controversy over which arcane competition will be used, but we will strongly promote the snowmelting competition."

This plan is very similar to the one proposed by Xia Duo, except that some of the specific proportions are slightly different, but in general it is relatively fair, with big countries eating meat and small countries drinking soup.

However, the share that was put up for competition in the arcane competition was much higher than Xia Duo expected. This is obviously because the other four countries are bound to get two-ninths of the proceeds.

But that doesn't matter. The other four countries have confidence, but doesn't Netheril have confidence?

The arcane competition is generally fair. If you really can't compete for it, it can only mean that your skills are inferior to others and you don't deserve more.

But because this part of the revenue share is placed in the arcane competition, it is not permanently fixed. It can naturally be taken back when it becomes stronger in the future.

Without this part of the flow share, it would not be a good thing for the strong to become stronger. Now it can encourage Netheril and other small countries to work hard to develop themselves. If they can win the arcane competition, they will at least get everything. Double the fixed share of the great powers.

It is conceivable that once this plan is announced, it will definitely cause a great sensation in various countries in the North, and a large number of spellcaster organizations may even change the direction of future development.

The share gained from winning the arcane competition certainly belongs to the country, but don’t the winners and their organizations get a little share of the profits?

Obviously impossible.

During the conversation with Badigal, Shado had already planned to open corresponding competition courses in the Tower of Time. No matter which arcane competition is ultimately used for profit distribution, Netheril will always conduct an internal selection first. .

As for Netheril's internal selection, there is no way to escape the Snow Melting Competition. You can never go wrong by training according to the Snow Melting Competition events first.

The only problem now is that if you want to participate in the Snow Melting Competition, you must at least be an arcanist. In the future, the divisions may be more precise, such as the arcanist group and the senior arcanist group, corresponding to the elite mage group and senior arcanist group on the elven side. Mage group.

There are only five arcane masters in the Tower of Time, including Shado, Niya, and Savile. The other two are Aibok and Depak.

I'm afraid there won't be members of the Tower of Time in the previous games, but in the future, the Tower of Time, with the explosion in the number of arcanists trained by the academy, will definitely become the focus of attention in Netheril and even the entire North. .

As for now, maybe we can find some foreign aid? (End of chapter)
