Arcane Lord

In the temporary lounge on the fourth floor of the Friendship Tower.

Chateau had a heart-to-heart exchange with Prince Foss on the comprehensive testing and how to deal with the demon descendants afterwards. There was absolutely no need to hide anything about issues involving positions and principles.

Otherwise, if someone misjudges it, is it because he didn’t speak clearly? Or do you blame others for not being considerate enough?

As for whether after clarifying one's own position and principles, one will infer the opposite from others, it can only be said that there is no need to worry about it. If a person cannot even stick to his own position and principles, then what can he do? what?

Since you have adhered to your position and principles, do you still worry about the enemy?

A sage from my hometown once said, "I will retreat even if there are thousands of people, but I will go." The "shrink" here does not mean retreat, but integrity. In other words, if I feel justified after self-examination, I will still do it even if tens of millions of people oppose me. Go forward with courage.

Xia Duo was convinced.

Therefore, although he hopes to have more friends and allies, he does not want to distort his position to cater to allies who should not be together in the first place.

This is what the saying "different ways do not lead to mutual conspiracies".

…

After Fox chatted for a while, Shado also understood the attitude of the Akora Kingdom. In addition to worrying about being implicated in the turmoil caused by the comprehensive testing, they were not extremely hostile to the demons themselves, and even sympathized with them to a certain extent.

This is not difficult to understand. Akora has been living in a corner for thousands of years. Even if it has persecuted demons in the past, it has been in seclusion for thousands of years, and many things have probably been forgotten.

There are no other countries in the North that constantly stimulate the sensitivity to demons. Of course, the most important thing is that Akora is now considered a half vassal of Netheril, and it is an inevitable choice to follow Netheril's footsteps.

And Shado now represents Netheril in front of Prince Foss, and expressing his stance to Shado is also expressing his stance to Netheril.

…

After chatting about the topic of comprehensive testing, Xia Duo couldn't help but mention the construction of Akaola's public computing resource pool network. Prince Fox was already prepared for this and immediately replied:

"The other purpose of my visit this time is to come to the Alliance Lingsi Network Research Center to collect relevant information manuals. My father gave me the task of dividing the domestic component network. If everything goes well, it will be initially completed in May."

Akola has a smaller population, only slightly larger than Evereska. If the connectors, gateways, and transfer devices necessary for networking did not take time to manufacture, it might have been completed before May.

Now, Prince Fox has once again shown Akora's high support for the public computing pool. Shado is very satisfied with this. He told Fox:

"Before May, the main network of the alliance will be completed. When the Akaola sub-network is completed, the network connection test can be carried out first, so that if any problems are found, they can be solved in advance."

It didn't take much for Chateau to figure out the benefits of entering normal operation in advance. This was another time for him to express his gratitude to Chateau.

Soon, ten minutes were up. Chateau and Foss had almost said everything they needed to say. What was left was just some random chat, which was not very interesting.

"Let's go to the ceremony. Others have been waiting for too long."

…

The opening ceremony of Akaola's boutique handmade products is not much different from the traditional opening ceremony. It just has some unique features unique to each country.

According to the process, the shop owner first introduces the origin of the shop, business scope, and excellence to onlookers, and then asks some respected elders to congratulate him for a few words, which is basically completed.

Here, Xia Duo played the role of a respected elder. In order not to overshadow the guest, he simply said a few words according to the speech Oripus had prepared for him in advance.

Then comes the essential part of the traditional opening ceremony, the "flowers to welcome guests". Ordinary stores will present all kinds of prepared flowers to passers-by, while high-end stores will prepare flowers on site.

It is absolutely impossible to hire a few mages who are good at growth spells to use pre-prepared seeds to grow flowers on the spot. It is absolutely impossible to hire a druid. This will actually lower the quality of the store.

Generally speaking, it is better to prepare flowers in advance than to ask a druid to induce flowers on site.

Xia Duo was very disdainful of such prejudice, but for now, this kind of prejudice could not be reversed by him as an outsider, but required self-awakening within the elves.

After [Flowers Welcoming Guests], there will be discounts and promotions. With the previous welcoming process, most guests will not refuse to go in and take a look even if they don’t buy anything.

It's just that there are a lot of people watching the opening this time. If a team of city guards hadn't been borrowed from Larian in advance, it might have caused riots.

…

After the ceremony, Xia Duo returned to the alliance headquarters, while Fuchs stayed at the store for the time being. Xia Duo ignored this and returned to his own territory, which was the Lingsi Network Research Center, and went straight to the gateway.

There are currently four or five elf mages here observing and recording the status of the gateway. When they saw Xia Duo coming, they saluted immediately and reported at the same time:

"Consultant Xia Duo, everything on the mainnet is normal!"

Xia Duo nodded, glanced quickly around the hall, and then asked the elf in front of him: "How many nodes are online now?"

The nodes here are not the accessors to the Lingsi network, but the gateway nodes. For network security, the new architecture designed by Xia Duo uses one hundred accessors as a basic unit.

In other words, one hundred mages form the smallest Lingsi network ~www.readwn.com~ and are connected to other networks through at least one gateway magic weapon.

There is at most one gateway between the main network of the alliance and the sub-networks in each country, and there is no direct connection between the sub-networks in each country.

The reason why we ask how many nodes are online is to a certain extent also to ask how many users are connected to the main network, but it is more focused on the gateway level.

"Four are already online. The alliance can only reach this level. The rest require cooperation from Everesca. I will send someone over to urge them later. I believe the results will be seen soon."

It is difficult for only four nodes to support the parallel connection of multiple large-scale sub-networks, but the existence of nodes also requires the support of accessors. It is impossible for each accessor to use one node, which is unrealistic.

Therefore, it is necessary to use Evereska’s local access users as the cornerstone of the main network. Everesca, as the location of the alliance headquarters, should also assume such obligations.

The advantage of this alliance is that it has a solid main network foundation, which is enough to support the parallel connection of sub-networks in other countries. However, Everesca does not need to consider the construction cost of a public computing power pool, but can share in the operation of the computing power pool. dividends.

Just sitting and collecting money.

"Hurry up and hurry up. Don't forget, our goal is to complete the main network before the end of the month. After that, debugging will take time. If nothing happens, a branch network will be merged in early May. Hurry up! "

"Yes, then I will urge them."

This mage is also impatient. After hearing what Xia Duo said, he did not consider asking others to urge him, but went there in person. Xia Duo watched the other person leave, and after thinking about it, he sent a message to Elder Larian, which was also intended. urge.

After doing this, Xia Duo began to check the activated gateway magic weapons in the hall one by one.
