Arcane Lord

This is different from Comanso's previous proposal of the Magic Limiting Treaty. The Magic Limiting Treaty is only a painful problem for the elves whose magic system has been relatively complete and are eating their old expenses.

But for Netheriel, which is developing rapidly, the more it goes on and the more it needs to develop, the more expensive it will be. It can be said that at that time Netherel was the most staunch opponent of the Magic Limiting Treaty.

Just because the arm can't twist the thigh, I have to pinch my nose to agree.

But now, with a little advantage in war spells, Shado demands to limit war spells, and he believes that it is almost impossible for the elves to object.

The magic-limiting treaty is only limited in terms of resources, but war magic is a real threat of force. In the case that you are not sure of resistance, it is really good to allow capable people to set limits on their own initiative.

The only thing Xia Duo is more worried about is that the elves will recklessly go to war against him and kill him in the bud.

Didn't you just encounter the city barrier in Zaamdas? Although it can only resist the light of annihilation of low energy level, no one knows whether the elves will have a stronger trump card.

Not to mention that the elf also has a living Lord God, who knows if that one will suddenly come to the main plane and slap him to death.

In short, Shado never thought of a full-scale war with the elves, and even if there was competition, it would not hinder the possibility of cooperation.

Therefore, after receiving the visit application from the elf, he endured the strong discomfort at the conscious level and did not rest, but immediately asked Niya to agree to the other party's application and made a formal invitation on his behalf.

The purpose is to avoid misjudgment by the other party as much as possible.

…

Floating City, Hengchun Square.

Nia helped Shado to the temporary reception venue here, and when Shado met the elves, she wanted to return to the Tower of Time to meet the seven-tower messenger Brendes on behalf of Shado.

Now that she is a senior arcanist, she will naturally not feel restrained when facing an archmage, but she is a little worried about Xiaduo.

"Why don't you take a few days off to see them again? I'm really worried about you now!"

"Don't worry, Savile will be here soon, don't worry about me. It's you, you should think about how to respond to Brendes later."

"you-"

Niya took a step and stared straight into Shado's eyes, "You know that's not what I'm worried about. No matter how bold the elves are, they won't use the official messenger as an assassin. I'm the only one worried about you!"

"Uh- okay." Shado avoided Nia's fiery eyes and made a promise, "I'll go to rest immediately after seeing the elf messenger!"

"…"

Niya didn't speak, she just kept staring at Xia Duo, but Xia Duo didn't give in an inch, the two kept looking at each other until the elf messenger and Brendes arrived at the Tower of Time, and in the end, Niya was the first to lose. .

"Long story short, I'll come over after seeing Brendes, don't make me do something rude."

After Nia finished speaking, she returned to the Tower of Time. Soon, Shado met four elf messengers and a dwarf messenger accompanied by Xavier.

Although he has never been interested in the affairs of the surface, Danzel has shown enough attention to the dangerous forces that can endanger him.

The messenger who came this time was Prince Pasteur, whom Shado had met but had no communication with, and the messengers from the elves were also "acquaintances" of Shado—

Suviris of Cormanthor, Hildarana of Yerlan, Tyron of Ilfaron, and Larian of Everesca.

"I can probably guess some of your intentions. As you think, I made the movement in the south just now. As for the reason, I think you should have already received some news from Master Suweiris."

Xia Duo is now considered a "patient", and with the "threat" of Niya, he naturally doesn't want to go around in circles, and try to talk as straightforwardly and frankly as possible:

"Zamdas attacked me for no reason. I was lucky not to die, but I also received great damage to my soul. To be honest, I am using a treasure from my teacher to support me when I meet you now. ."

Saying that, Shado also raised the focus gem in Yang's hand, and then continued: "According to the principle of reciprocity, Zamdas has to pay for this, so he has just acted in revenge."

"But revenge on civilians is too cruel!" Tyron said a little reluctantly.

Before he came, he had already obtained some relevant information. According to conservative estimates, Shado's revenge had caused at least 200,000 Zamdas deaths.

This is still because the core of the outbreak of war spells is confined to the center of the city, only Toxent City and some nearby satellite towns have been completely wiped out, and there are still a large number of villages and farms surviving in the distance.

It is conceivable that if the constraints on that war spell are released, Zaamdas may directly lose more than one-twelfth of the population.

Even as an elf, Tyron felt great sympathy for the 200,000 humans who were implicated to death. In fact, he was a commoner himself.

In other words, Il Farang did not have a real upper-level family. At this time, Il Farang was deeply afraid of the extremely efficient means of killing civilians that Shado had, so he had this visit.

…

For Tyron's question, Xia Duo smiled slightly and did not answer directly, but asked Tyron instead:

"If I don't retaliate, can Tyranid Mage guarantee that Zamdas will not make further moves? Can you guarantee that my other existing or potential enemies will not challenge my bottom line again and again?

"If I just take it lightly, does Mage Tyron think that Zamdas's domineering will continue to retaliate? If they retaliate, do I need to continue to retaliate?

"Mage Tyron, please answer me!"

Tyron was silent, not only Tyron, but other envoys' eyes towards Shado changed more or less, especially Prince Pasteur of Danzo, who greatly agreed with Shado's approach:

"Actually, in the Underdark, UU reading www.uukanshu.com also has a method similar to that of Lord Shado. Everyone knows that whether it is us dwarves, or the drow or other creatures that are hostile to us, they all live in relatively independent underground. In the space, since there are different environments from the surface, the most significant point is the space itself—

"I don't know if you have experienced the scene of the collapse of the sky and the earth, but I have experienced it, and the surface friends who assisted us in the war against the drow two years ago have also experienced a lot of experience, the kind of collapse from the material to the element level, Except for a handful of skilled spellcasters, hardly any survived.

"Inferred from this, the most efficient method of warfare in the Underdark is actually to send a spellcaster to sacrifice himself to collapse the space where the enemy is.

"But we all know that the end result of such a war is the destruction of everyone, so I can fully understand what Lord Shado is doing—

"Sometimes, it's because of some of the cruelest methods that some of the cruelest things are avoided."
