Lord of Arcane

Chapter 837 God War May Respect
"Your Highness, if we continue to fight for the green field plane, it will inevitably lead to war. Why can't we take a step back? When we get stronger, what we lose now can be regained in the future!"

This is what Harris really thinks. He is deeply aware of the war potential of the elves, if it is not for those immortal species who are too spared their lives, and the difference in the concept of time between the two sides.

If it were a human being, it would be impossible for Netheril to develop to its current state at the door of its own house.

In addition, once a war breaks out, you have to face a more serious problem, that is, the main god of elves!

Although he didn't want to admit it, Harris knew one thing very well, the elf god has the ability and determination to actively intervene in mortal disputes.

When it comes to gods, people have to be more cautious. In the past, the main god of the elves may not have chosen to directly attack Netheril out of respect or fear of the Lord of Radiance.

But once a large-scale war breaks out, who can guarantee that the other party will not make a move? ,
At least the Lord of Radiance did not show any intention to actively intervene in the mortal world.

What a difficult decision it is to let mortals fight against gods!

However, although Harris was a little pessimistic about Netheril's current situation, he was very optimistic about the future. As a great arcanist, he deeply understood that magic is to enable mortals to obtain extraordinary power.

Now it is impossible to use mortals to fight against gods, just because the development of magic has not yet reached that stage. Once it does, it may not be impossible for mortals to kill gods.

Of course, whether mortals at that time can still be called "mortals" is another matter.

In short, Harris is very disapproving of a war with Cormanthor now, which will greatly affect the normal development of Netheril.

……

Faced with Harris' firm opposition, Shia was about to refute, when Hadlaine of Janik Tower suddenly spoke in a very sharp tone:

"What is lost now, can be regained in the future? Then how do you know that you won't lose everything until you gain the power to regain everything?
"And with such a step-by-step retreat, how can you guarantee that Comanso will be satisfied with this and will not push forward step by step?

"Past history has told us that what you get in exchange for concessions is not respect and timely withdrawal, but intensified greed. Is this result really what you want?"

Hadleyn's words made Harris a little silent. He knew that he couldn't answer these questions. At this time, Badigal, who had been silent for a long time before, finally spoke:

"Well said! Rather than being forced to a dead end where they are powerless to resist step by step, it is better to kill them when they can resist. I don't believe that all the elves are not afraid of death! When they die to a certain extent, they must die. Compromise! In addition to safeguarding our interests, we have also won our dignity!"

Between dying with pride and dignity, and living in humiliation and humility, Badigal will undoubtedly choose the former. He really can't imagine what it will be like on the day when he loses his pride!

And his words also aroused everyone's desire for dignity. There is no doubt that the great arcanist is extremely noble in Netheril, but in the eyes of the elves, even if they have the power similar to the high mage, they still manipulate magic. Savage figure.

The superficial respect may be just to set off the noble, elegant and civilized posture of the elves, but once interests are involved, the superficial camouflage is instantly torn away without any hesitation.

What is true respect, between countries and races, there is only one true respect, and that is strength, and victorious battles forged with blood and fire!
As for the respect that comes from personal morality, the archarcanists do not deny this, but it is much weaker and smaller among countries, civilizations, and races.

"you--"

Harris' complexion changed a few times, but after all, he didn't say any objection. In fact, he was also longing for such a vigorous battle and even a war for dignity.

It's just that Netheril must also have an opponent, a conservative, and a guardian who can pull everyone's gradually fanatical will back to rationality at any time.

However, at this point in the meeting, Harris also knew that it was almost coming to an end. The seven great arcanists of the Seven Towers, Shia, Badigal, and Hadlaine, undoubtedly supported this conflict between the planes. Even war.

And Randall, with a calm personality, put almost all his thoughts on the field of magic, and seldom objected to everyone's decisions.

Horn seems to be at odds with Badigal from time to time, but it is more out of personal grievances because Horn hooked up with two of Badigal's apprentices.

However, in matters involving the Seven Towers and even Netheril, these two seemingly at odds can often come together.

Up to now, although Horn has not made a statement, Harris, who is familiar with Horn's character, knows that if Horn wanted to object, he would have jumped out to accuse Badigal, and now he has not, which is already a tacit attitude up.

Among the seven people, four supported, one was neutral, and the last two, besides himself, were Pastro of Nasif Tower.

Thinking of this, Harris glanced at the thoughtful Pastro again, and already had the answer in his heart.

……

Then, as Harris expected, after provoking Badigal, Horn finally agreed with Badigal's point of view, and made it clear that he was willing to participate in the war between the Green Pearl and Cormanthor.

As for Pastro, although he did not express his willingness to participate directly, he also expressed his willingness to provide material support on behalf of Nasif High Tower, specifically to fight against the Cormanthor elves.

As for Harris, now that the resolution has been reached, he also said that he would provide a batch of supplies, the quantity referring to the Nassif Tower and the Moraine Tower.

Of course, no matter whether it is sending out people or supplies, Gustav High Tower will eventually have to pay the bill. Everyone knows this very well. After all, the Green Field Plane belongs to his family, not shared equally by everyone.

If it was shared equally by everyone, then this meeting might be another scene!

……

Seeing that everyone reached an agreement, Shia finally made a conclusion, "Since this is the case, this matter has been decided. Finally, I have one more thing to tell everyone!"

"What's the matter?" Badigal immediately asked with concern.

Shia glanced at Badigal, knowing that the other party was eager to repay her favor, but this matter really needed the other party's help.

"The sanctification of the statue is about to be completed!"

As soon as Shia finished speaking, the secret room suddenly fell into a strange silence. It took a long time to hear the sound of rapid breathing, but it was Randall who rarely spoke before:
"Your Highness, are you saying that the statue of your faith is about to be consecrated?"

"Yes." Shia nodded.

"That, that—"

Randall didn't say the following words, but everyone else knew what he wanted to say——

Is the Ascension Ceremony coming to an end?
