Arcane Lord

Not long ago, Shado proposed in the Seven Towers to "force Cormanthor to give up the evaluation and investigation rights attached to the Demon Limitation Treaty". On the surface, it did not bring intuitive benefits to Netheril.

It just dispelled Cormanthor's power, and relieved a certain amount of super-magic pressure for the rest of the alliance at the beginning of the chaos when the treaty was first implemented.

Whether Comanso is willing to accept it or not, unless he "retires" immediately, it is almost impossible to resist the collective will of the alliance.

This approach is the same as Comansor's proposal to sign a "restriction of magic treaty" before - other countries, even Il Faran, who is an ally of Nether, expressly agree with it. As long as Netheril does not withdraw immediately, it can only be Boldly accept it.

So, will Comanso withdraw from the group?

of course not.

It's just different from Netheril's reason for not quitting the group because he wants more development opportunities, Comansor's reason for not quitting the group is to a large extent to use the alliance's power to suppress Netheril within the framework of the alliance. rising momentum.

In other words, as long as Netheril doesn't retire, Cormanthor won't.

Correspondingly, even if Netheril withdraws from the group, Comanthor may not necessarily withdraw. Wouldn't it be more labor-saving to join the alliance to suppress Netheril?

At the same time, you can use the resources of the alliance to develop yourself.

It's just that once Netheril withdraws from the Northland Alliance, Il Farang will almost certainly quit, and will not continue to stay in the alliance to be angry. At that time, the Northland Alliance will really exist in name only.

...

During the second half of the meeting, Shado didn't talk much about the current situation with Larian, but turned to topics related to Everiska's local life.

Such as the journals purchased here when Chateau hid his identity before, the sky garden sun rose, or topics such as mystery locks.

The atmosphere was not as serious as it had been at first, and Larian later called in his eldest son Lyleus, who was Lunasis' father.

"Lord Shado, I will go to the Cloud Crown Palace and let Lyle show you around the city first. The Council of Elders will give you a satisfactory answer later."

"Elder Larian, please do it yourself, Lyle and I can chat very well, waiting for your good news."

...

After Larian left, Lyle offered to take Shado to go for a walk in the city, but Shado refused and stayed in this small garden, waiting for news from Larian.

Of course, the more important thing is to chat with Lyle about the topic of the lock. After all, you can go to visit anytime, but it is not always possible to communicate with a high-level mage who focuses on the field of mystery.

Lyleus, as the eldest son of Elder Larian, has received a systematic magical education since he was a child, and he has a lot of attainments in the field of magic.

Although Larian didn't introduce it just now, Shado was keenly aware of the powerful power that Lyleus deliberately concealed.

Perhaps it was not long after he became a high-level mage, and Lyleus had not yet had a good grasp of the power to control the magic net, but after all, it was elf magic, and it focused on the coordination with the magic net itself.

If you were another great arcanist, you might not be able to notice this, but Xia Duo has incarnated as an elves many times in the projection plane, and has also received a complete education in elves magic, even more in-depth.

When he found out that Lyleus was also a high mage, his surprise was not a bit or two.

As far as Xiaduo knew, this Lyleus was only in his early 300s, which, in terms of human lifespan, was around 40 years old.

To become a high-level mage at this age is not unique in the elf world, at least it can be called excellent talent.

When Shado communicated with his high-mage follower Elfitch in [The Birth of the Projection Plane: Cormanthor], Elfitch had mentioned more than once that there were almost no elf high-mages younger than 300 years old.

Lierlus was just 300 years old, and this talent was almost top-notch. Of course, this was still incomparable to Hildarana becoming a high-level mage before she was 300 years old.

But it is extremely rare for such a genius mage to emerge in a small country.

At the same time, it also gave Xia Duo a whole new understanding of the potential of these small countries.

Due to the long lifespan of elves, a small country may be able to accumulate no less than the number of high mages in a large country. The difference between a large country and a small country may only be the proportion of true elders who have only one breath left.

Of course, the influence of the population factor is also there, but in an elf society that also does not have universal universal magical education, the influence of the population size is almost negligible compared to the time. (Only a few elites in the upper class have the opportunity to receive a complete magical education. These elves are always in the minority, and there is no order of magnitude gap between big countries and small countries)

Although the static strength, a small country may not be weaker than a big country, but once it really starts to fight, a small country that does not have enough high-level mages who can continue to make shots will almost certainly be hanged by the big country.

And the most important thing is that once those true elders are consumed, they cannot be replenished for a long period of time, and that is the crisis of subjugation of the country.

Of course, correspondingly, big powers generally do not go to war directly with small powers. Although from the perspective of the results, they are destined to win, the losses caused during this period are immeasurable. Maybe they will be wiped out by another big power after the battle. .

Therefore, Shado deduces that the future hostilities between the northern kingdoms will be carried out in the form of covert operations and low-intensity conflicts, and large-scale formal wars are unlikely to occur.

Like the general national war in [Projection Plane Arcane Empire], it is almost impossible to appear on the main plane.

The war on the projection plane was completely planned by the "great sages" of the main plane in the past from the birth of the empire, and it took the initiative to initiate it after nearly a thousand years of preparation. Anyway, no matter how fierce the projection plane was, it would not affect the main plane.

If it is the place where he lives, Xia Duo does not believe that someone can really drag everyone including himself into the water. If there is such a person, Xia Duo will be the first to kill each other. He believes that the Seven Pagodas will also will do so.

...

The communication with Lierlus was very smooth~www.readwn.com~ At the beginning, Xia Duo just asked the other party with some superficial questions, but the other party didn't mean to be perfunctory and answered seriously, which exceeded Xia Duo's expectations.

So, he naturally went deeper and asked about the content related to distributed nodes, and even some questions about the design of the Floating City Mystery Lock, which he just started to project.

In this regard, although Lyleus was surprised by a human being's understanding and proficient in Mystery Lock, he still did not refuse to answer, and from his answer, Shado could see that the other party was not perfunctory.

"Lyle, I didn't expect such a big surprise this time. If there is a chance, please be sure to come to the Tower of Time as a guest."

"There will be a chance."
