Arcane Lord

And now, Shado has arrived at the embassy area, but still received identity verification requirements from Tevimansa's maze, and the requirement to expel him if he did not verify.

If this happened normally, it would be enough to cause a diplomatic incident. If he encountered this kind of thing normally, Shado would not compromise at all. After all, this is no longer his own business, but is related to the national system of Netheril.

However, at present, Yeerlan used martial law as an excuse, and Shado really found it difficult to refute it. Long before today, Yeerlan had issued a notice to various countries, saying that it would temporarily close its territory, and internal martial law also began at the same time.

Fortunately, this was just a small episode, or it could be said that Tevimansa was vigilant about every outsider. The general operation was not deliberately targeted.

After Shado verified his identity in the maze, he was not further questioned. Of course, he didn't know whether Yeerlan actually conducted an in-depth investigation. At least he felt that there was no follow-up.

Since he was an embassy staff member at the time, Fimae did not arrange anyone to greet Xia Duo at the airport. When Xia Duo entered the embassy building with the Richie Envoy, Fimae appeared in front of him.

"Welcome Councillor Xia Duo to inspect the embassy!"

"It's not an inspection, but I'm sorry to bother the ambassador."

Xia Duo had a good impression of the gray-haired ambassador in front of him. Although he was from the Seventh Tower, he did not have the arrogance that many Seventh Tower people had. This was not because he did not have it when facing him.

In fact, Xia Duo had seen so many Seventh Tower people. The arrogance of those people was engraved in their bones. It was not directed at a certain person, but was mixed with the dual identities of the Seventh Tower and the caster, and the natural recognition that other people who were not in these two identities were superior.

Even if it was not shown on the face, it would be exposed in words and actions, which was more annoying than the elites that Xia Duo hated the most.

Elites at least still treat ordinary people as human beings, but many people in the Seven Towers no longer treat ordinary people as their own kind. This difference even exceeds the difference between lords and subjects, and is almost the difference between species.

But Fimae is not so arrogant. Shado can see that he still treats himself as an ordinary person. As an arcanist, Fimae even gave up the magic career that most arcanists would not give up, and turned to diplomacy as his lifelong pursuit.

If there is no affection for Netheril and ordinary people, and he only thinks about himself, how could he make such a decision!

It is not that Shado heard Fimae say so himself, but that he has been the ambassador of Netheril to Yeerlan for nearly 20 years.

Before, Yeerlan used the Mithril Agreement to make things difficult for Netheril, and it was also thanks to Fimae's mediation that he delayed the progress of Yeerlan and bought time and relatively favorable conditions for Netheril.

Later, the three countries signed the Mithril Agreement again, and Fimae also provided a lot of help again, such as his understanding of the domestic situation in Yeerlan, the Mithril market in Yeerlan, and the bottom line of Yeerlan negotiations, etc.

A good fighter does not have great achievements. Before seeing Fimae in person, Shado's understanding of Fimae was limited to a name on the intelligence document and a very brief introduction.

After meeting him, he found that the information was far from enough to describe Fimae's achievements, so after the new covenant was signed, he specifically retrieved more information about Fimae from the Seven Towers.

After that, he had a better impression of Fimae.

Similar to this is Tirion, the plenipotentiary representative of Netheril to the Northern Alliance, but compared with Firion, Tirion is still more utilitarian.

But it is undeniable that compared with other Seven Towers people, Tirion's public spirit is far greater than his selfishness.

This is very precious for a Seven Towers person who has not yet sat on the top of power.

People who sit at the top of power can make public spirit greater than private interest, not because they really have such a far-reaching public spirit, but because public interest is directly related to the private interests of the superiors, and their private interests just happen to be in line with the public interest.

Rather than the other way around.

Shado does not deny that there are superiors in Netheril who care more about public interest, but most of them still care more about their own private interests. From this, it can be seen that there are actually many coincidences that Netheril can form such a situation (New Covenant).

Therefore, although the Seven Towers people such as Fimae and Tirion who are public-spirited and private-spirited are not completely consistent with Shado's ideas, compared with others, Shado is still more willing to win over these people and give them respect.

…

Although he was concerned about the clues of the Moon Shadow Family, Shado still took out only one hour to talk with Ambassador Fimae, asking him about the recent situation of Tevimansa and the changes in the upper echelons of Yeerlan.

At the same time, he also provided some of the outside news he had, such as the troubles caused by the Illuminati in various countries. Except for the situation in Yeerlan, which Fimae knew more about, the situation in other countries was probably difficult to be transmitted to the Naise Embassy.

Perhaps Fimae had information channels from the Seven Towers, but since Shaduo was working at the Alliance Headquarters and even temporarily led a rapid response force of the Alliance, the information he had was not worse than that of the Seven Towers, and even more.

After a conversation, Fimae couldn't help but sigh: "This Illuminati is really a disaster! Now I am actually a little worried. Even if the Illuminati is eliminated, the influence they left behind may not be completely quelled for hundreds of years."

"What did the ambassador think of?"

"Nothing. Some time ago, before the civil strife in Yeerlan, voices calling for liquidation of the demons appeared again in Yeerlan. I had a bad feeling at that time, and now this feeling is even stronger."

"Liquidate the demons? Are all the agreements reached by various countries invalid? How can Yeerlan have the confidence to do such a thing of breaking the contract and breaking the promise?"

Before the comprehensive inspection of the demons, the countries had reached an agreement to give the demons equal status as northern citizens. As long as they had not committed bloody crimes, other minor issues would not be pursued.

This is also a compensation for the discrimination and persecution suffered by the demons in the past.

You must know that the original demons were completely victims of war. It was the normal elves who discriminated against and persecuted those of their kind who were infected with the breath of the abyss during the war, which led to the tragedy that lasted for thousands of years.

If the elves who were not infected at the time had more sympathy, understanding, and help for those infected who were also victims of the war, the concept of demons might not even have emerged in the future.

Because it is difficult for demons to produce offspring, if they were cared for by their own people at the beginning, Xia Duo believed that those first-generation demons would either be completely cured or voluntarily give up the blood inheritance, leaving the pollution in the past and giving more descendants of the tribe a clean future.

But the reality is completely different. Those war victims who should have been cared for by their own people were discriminated against and persecuted by their own people. In this case, they hope to pass on their bloodline, even if it is polluted bloodline.
