Lord of Arcane

Chapter 954 Developing Traditional Amulets

"His Royal Highness is so radiant, Xia Duo is bound to be in awe!"

Xia Duo didn't know what the princess's real research field was, but judging from the pioneer scepter, she should be quite good at psychic spells.

It should not be difficult to see the truth of his statement.

Fortunately, the princess didn't delve too deeply into this question. After Xia Duo answered, she put it down lightly and changed the subject:
"Take out the territorial documents!"

This Xia Duo had already prepared for it, and quickly took it out of the dimension bag, and handed it to the princess with both hands, "Your Highness, this is the territory document of Daxia Territory."

"Ah."

The princess took the document, but did not update it immediately, but brought Xia Duo to the side wall of the development hall, and said to Xia Duo: "Although the situation is special this time, there are still necessary procedures. Look at the wall!"

Xia Duo heard the words and looked at the wall. When he and Niya came in just now, his attention was attracted by the princess. After that, he was rude and didn't look at the wall again.

Only now did he discover that the walls of the development hall were engraved with wild people's development pictures, showing fire, fishing, hunting, taming, and even reproduction.

"What you are seeing now is the original source of Netheril - Gilles, Gustav, Moraine, Kieran, Janik, Nasif, Fenwick, the birth of these seven villages!
"It is precisely because the ancestors continued to forge ahead and seek development and growth that these seven villages came together, and there was the later Severton Alliance, and today's Netheril."

Starting from the left wall of the pioneering hall, the princess led Xia Duo and Niya to review the history of Netheril, or the history of pioneering.

Xia Duo is no stranger to these histories. He has seen many of them in Gilles High Tower, the Arcane Federation, and even the library of the Tower of Time, but those are not systematic, and even mixed with many authors. Biased subjective assumptions.

Now the princess personally explained the past history of Netheril, and brought Xia Duo a new perspective to examine that period of history.

A mere development hall, with only two walls on the left and right, certainly cannot fully show the history of Netheril for nearly a thousand years, even with the explanation of the princess, it is not enough.

In fact, the princess only selected a few events of great historical significance to explain, from one wall to another, from the ancestors at the source of Netheril, to the theft of the [Nether Scroll].

At this time, the carvings in the hall also came to an end, and although there was still room ahead, it was indeed blank.

Of course, the theft of the [Nether Scroll] did not appear in the engravings in the pioneering hall. The last engraving was the scene of Netheril exterminating the largest orc tribe in its territory more than 100 years ago.

Here's what the princess said about it——

"Since the extermination of the largest orc tribe in the territory, Netheril's external expansion has almost come to a halt. Savile Territory is the closest pioneering territory to the present, and it has been nearly a hundred years, but due to some reasons, It didn't make it here."

Having said that, she paused for a moment, turned around to look at Xia Duo, and showed a meaningful look: "Next, Da Xia will appear here!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Duo suddenly felt flattered.

At the same time, he also thought that the resumption of foreign expansion is not just an expansion of territory and territory, but also a change in thinking!

It is necessary to reverse the current conservative attitude of Nether mages towards knowledge, and return to the open state before the [Nerther Scroll] was stolen, when the magic is developed rapidly and fully!

In the past, even the most ordinary commoner could come to Sevington to read the [Nerther Scroll], but now, the [Nerther Scroll] is locked in the secret room of the Arcane Union, even high-level mages are very It is difficult to take a look, let alone ordinary people.

At this moment, Xia Duo deeply felt that he was at a critical juncture in history.

"Pioneer Xia Duo, are you willing to inherit the legacy of the ancestors and continue to expand the territory for our Nether people?"

"I am willing!" Xia Duo agreed without hesitation.

"it is good!"

With a reply, a silver scepter appeared in the princess's hand, and she used this scepter to touch Xia Duo's territory document.

In an instant, the silver rune suddenly trembled on the golden paper document made by imitating the Nether scroll, and when it recovered, a new line of text was added on it——

"On January 837, 1 in the Nether calendar, Xia Duo, the lord of Daxia, was promoted to the Severton Council."

Of course, this is just a brief written record similar to a thumbnail. On the back of the document, there are bilingual notes of Nether and Elf, explaining in detail the rights and obligations of the Nether lord.

"I hope you really live up to your lord's responsibilities!"

Finally, with a word of encouragement, the princess handed over the updated territorial document to Xia Duo. Xia Duo took the document, glanced at it briefly, put it away, and solemnly replied: "It must be irresponsible!"

"That's good, let's go back!"

"Yes!"

……

Walking out of the development hall, Xia Duo raised his head and looked at the sky. It was cloudless and clear, and he was in a good mood.

Although I just glanced at the contents of the territorial documents, those contents have been deeply imprinted in my memory, among which Xia Duo cares most about only one sentence——

"As long as the lord recognizes the Severton Council's dominance over Netheril, the Severton Council will also maintain the lord's rule over the territory!"

The meaning of this sentence is that as long as you become an official lord, you can be regarded as the true ruler of Netheril.

Even the Grand Arcanist is under such a system and exerts great power through this system. Once someone violates the will of this system, even the Grand Arcanist may not be able to benefit.

Of course, the actual situation may be somewhat different from the theory, but as an official lord, the maintenance of the Severton Council will not only recognize the lord's dominance, but also include practical personal safety guarantees.

If a non-lord kills a lord, even a grand arcanist must pay a heavy price.

The lord's document did not clearly state this point, but the relevant interpretation clauses did not exclude the grand arcanist, unless the grand arcanist himself was the lord, then the relevant exemption clauses of the lord could apply.

Xiaduo didn't want to understand why the Lord Rodney defected to and betrayed the Arcanist Vader before he didn't die, even if he later passed the position of Lord Rodney to his son, he still didn't die.

It's not that Grand Arcanist Vader couldn't kill him, but that Grand Arcanist Vader was not a lord, and he probably couldn't bear the price of killing the lord.

Although this is just Xia Duo's guess, it may not be impossible.

Although the Grand Arcanist is powerful enough to formulate rules, since the rules are called rules, they must have a certain degree of stability and will not be changed at will.

Judging from the current rules and past history, the Grand Arcanist has not been given the privilege of killing the lord at will without punishment.

Xia Duo carefully reviewed the contents of the territorial documents, and he found that the status of the lord might really be a life-saving talisman!
There is only one biggest reason. In the words of the earth, the Severton Council is the highest authority in Netheril, which is guaranteed by the Seven Towers Group.

Although the power is scattered and not centralized, the highest is the highest, and it must have a certain degree of authority.

The Seven Towers are Netheril's strongest and closest violent alliance, compared to the Arcane Federation, which is just a loose alliance of spellcasters.

There may be traditional inertia in this, but what is more important is the power of the seven towers. As long as the seven towers do not fall, the Severton Council will not fall.

At the same time, the various lords that make up the Sewington Council will not fall (relatively).

This is very similar to the United Nations in Xia Duo's hometown. No matter how weak the country (lord) with a seat is, its sovereignty will be respected by all major countries on the surface.

When a small country is bullied, the United Nations (Severnton Parliament) will come forward to mediate and intervene.

Isn't this the protector?
