Lord of Arcane

"What are the alliance's specific preparations?" Xia Duo asked.

This question was not a secret, so Tirion answered casually: "If nothing major happens, the Northland Alliance will establish a special "Grey Peak Mountains Resource Management Committee" to coordinate the resources of the Gray Peak Mountains. Development, we are talking about mithril mines now, but in fact mithril is only part of it, and there are many other resources.

"After the Gray Peak Mountain Resources Committee is established, it will invite bids for mineral development. Unfortunately, our mining industry in Netheril is not developed. I am afraid that a considerable part of the development matters will be monopolized by dwarven countries such as Danzo.

"Even in the later stages of mithril smelting and purification, although we have made technological breakthroughs, it will be difficult to catch up with the elves and dwarves in a short period of time, and it is probably difficult for us humans to intervene in this aspect.

"Fortunately, we already have a seat on the committee that will be established. As long as we do a good job in supervision, our actual share will not be lost. It is just that it will be difficult for private chambers of commerce and workshops to participate, and we will lose an opportunity for development. .”

Tirion was not without regrets about this current situation, but both he and the Seven Towers were prepared to forcibly insert the Nese Chamber of Commerce and Workshop into the Gray Peak Mountains development project.

After all, it is a fact that technology is backward, and ensuring the development of the Huifeng Mountains is the key point. If some chambers of commerce and workshops with backward technology are forcibly promoted, the gains will outweigh the losses in the end.

After listening to Tirion's story, it seemed that the Northland Alliance had a preliminary plan to open the Gray Peak Mountains. Shado couldn't help but be curious, "If this incident hadn't happened, when would the Alliance have established the Resource Management Committee?"

"According to the original schedule, a resource management committee will be established in early April, and then bidding information will be released to various countries. The bidding information will be reviewed in mid-April, and then workers will enter the site to start construction before the end of April."

Now that the plan has changed, Tirion doesn't mind revealing the original plan. In fact, even before this incident, Shado had channels to know the specific plan. Tirion would not be there. Xia Duo was embarrassed by this small issue.

"The actual work will start within a month. This efficiency is really unaccustomed!" Xia Duo sighed.

Even humans may not be able to achieve such efficiency, not to mention that the people responsible for specific development matters this time are mostly immortal species such as elves and dwarves.

It's not that long-lived species are inefficient, but the concept of time is different from short-lived species, and they often appear to be inefficient. But in fact, once you encounter a situation like this, you can use it if you want to be efficient.

If the Northland Alliance's original plan is followed, I am afraid that within a month or two, Xia Duo will be able to use the mithril mine from the Gray Peak Mountains. This is considering the difficulty of smelting and purifying mithril.

If it were gold or silver, it might be faster.

And this also brings a certain sense of urgency to Sha Duo. The credit currency logo based on the power of order that he and Aibo are working on at the Tower of Time has not yet broken through!

We still need to find ways to speed up research!
But just thinking about it, the research on the power of order can benefit very little from the Lingsi network. This is mainly because except for the order master, almost no one else can operate the power of order. In fact, most mages in the main plane can even Don't know the existence of the power of order.

Maybe they can realize that the power of order is real, but they don't know what the real power of order is like and what attributes it has.

However, the power of order is, after all, a brand new research field, with the greatest room for progress in the early stages and the easiest time to make breakthroughs.

Xia Duo has now passed the threshold of primitive power, and the further application of the power of order is also being perfected. If he wants to conquer the credit currency mark, it is actually just a matter of time.

Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, or no more than a year at the latest, we will be able to develop a belief currency symbol. …

The distance from Yunfeng Manor to the Northland Alliance headquarters is not far, but Shado deliberately chose to walk because he wanted to inquire about the alliance's trends from Tirion.

When the two of them walked down the suspended walkway on the second floor, the alliance headquarters complex not far away was already in front of them. When they got here, Sha Duo suddenly thought -

"There must be a lot of activity in the elven countries calling for volunteers. Will the demons be aware of it? I think it is necessary for the alliance to announce the development plan of the Gray Peak Mountains immediately to find a more reasonable excuse for this call for action, and at the same time, the demons will be aware of it." focus on the open plan.”

Hearing what Shado said, Tirion paused, and then immediately followed him. His eyes became a little anxious, and he said to Shado in a hurried tone:

"Indeed! No matter how good the reason is for suddenly summoning volunteers who are senior mages or above, it seems that it is not enough. In addition, the demon is now testing again, so it is really necessary to find some excuses to distract the demon.

"Lord Xia Duo, I'm sorry I have to take a step ahead. I will discuss this matter with other representatives as soon as possible. After you arrive at the headquarters, there will be a dedicated person to take you to the lounge. I will visit you later."

After saying that, Tirion teleported away directly. Seeing this scene, Shado couldn't help but feel envious and sigh.

Of course, the envy was because he did not have the authority to teleport, but the lament was that Everriska could not even keep his own Mystery Lock authority. Anyone who was not authorized by (Everriska) could teleport at will in the city, which was actually equivalent to a sovereign takeover. To the violation.

Although Evereska is also looking for ways to recover the lost myth lock authority, it is foreseeable that as long as the Northland Alliance headquarters does not move from Evereska, they may not be able to recover the myth lock authority.

Of course, on the other hand, because they have obtained Everriska's secret lock authority, the five major countries also have a high tolerance for Everriska's various behaviors, which includes trying to win over other small countries to establish a small country alliance. Behavior.

The five countries were in the wrong on the issue of the Mystic Lock authority of Everesca, but even Shado had to admit that unless a new headquarters was built, how could the security of the alliance headquarters be ensured if there was no local Mystic Lock authority?

How can representatives from other countries in the alliance dare to work locally with confidence?
Of course, this does not mean that Xia Duo supports this behavior, but that this behavior has a certain rationality. The best solution is actually to build another headquarters in an unowned neutral area.

The Huifeng Mountains are actually very good!

Or, after Xia Duo takes charge of alliance affairs in the future, he may donate a floating city as the alliance headquarters.

……

When they arrived at the Northland Alliance headquarters, Intelligence Director Doum was already waiting at the door. In fact, as Doum, there was no need to receive Sha Duo in person, but not long ago Sha Duo visited the Langas Plains for the Demon Intelligence Research Laboratory. Action provides support.

And there will be more support in the future, so it won't be out of the blue for Doom to come in person.
