Arcane Lord

——It will be later~~

Taking advantage of the atmosphere where the two sides were chatting about off-topic topics, Xia Duo didn't want to waste any more time and went straight to a showdown with Horn, "I've thought about what I said before, and I will fully cooperate with you, but please let me know first. try it."

The "try" that Xia Duo said meant trying to communicate. He had mentioned it before when the two met. If he arrested someone without even communicating, he wouldn't be able to do it.

After saying that, he looked at Horn with resolute eyes that refused to give in. Under his gaze, Horn was first surprised, then frowned, and then remained silent.

Seeing that Horn didn't speak, Xia Duo allowed the other party to let him go, but he silently counted the time in his heart. He sat there for about ten minutes. When Horn didn't respond, he stood up and said:

"If the Seven Towers don't even agree to such a request, then you should find another way to do it. I will not be involved in this matter."

Although he said he would not participate, Xia Duo had already decided that if the Seven Towers did not agree to his request, he would find a way to contact the dragon in advance. This was his ideological belief.

In essence, he and Seven Towers and other related forces came together based on the same interests, but the interests of all parties may not be completely consistent. Xia Duo has his own persistence. He will compromise where he can compromise, if it is not core interests. How much.

But he was determined not to compromise where he couldn't compromise, such as some issues of principle, such as the restrictions on lords' power when negotiating a new covenant, and the current practice of arresting suspected alien dragons without asking.

Once you give in to a principled issue, it will never end. Even if it is temporarily impossible to implement these principles due to objective conditions, you must at least let others know your attitude and persistence.

When Xia Duo was about to leave, Horn couldn't sit still. He quickly stood up and stretched out a hand to stay, "Lord Xia Duo, this matter still needs to be discussed, why are you so impatient!"

"Why am I impatient? I'm staying at home well. You came to me first. I just made my request normally, and my request is not too much, right?"

"Not too much, not too much."

Horn continued to follow Sha Duo's words, and also made movements with his hands to ask Sha Duo to sit down. Sha Duo didn't want to get too stiff with Qita, so when he saw that Horn seemed to give in, he sat down again.

"Since it's not too much, let's do it like this!"

"But, what if the other party runs away due to early contact?" Horn's face showed embarrassment again, as if he wanted to ask for a guarantee from Xia Duo.

But it was impossible for Xia Duo to give such a guarantee, not because of strategic considerations, but because he was really not 100% sure, even if it was a direct sneak attack without contact.

Who knows what tricks that mysterious dragon hides? He can only promise that he will do his best, and the rest can only be left to fate.

Seeing that Horn was still insisting, Sha Duo spoke again, "Since that mysterious dragon has mastered the ultimate technology in the suspected bloodline field, why do you think it has no other means? Even if it is a sneak attack, you can guarantee that it will be caught ?"

The ball was mentioned to the Seven Towers again. Horn wanted to say that as long as Xia Duo gave his full support, he would definitely catch it, but it was enough for him to talk about this kind of anger in private. If he really brought it up to the table, it would seem like he was talking about it. People are too ignorant.

After a moment of silence, Horn was finally defeated, "Then we'll have to trouble Lord Shado next."

"Um."

Xia Duo nodded, then went straight to the topic, "When will we act?"

"Of course, the sooner the better. Is it convenient for Lord Xia Duo tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'll visit again tomorrow. You should hurry up tonight and choose an envoy who can represent the Seven Towers. I may need to use him when I contact the other party."

Xia Duo didn't ask where the mysterious dragon was. This kind of key information couldn't be released casually by the Seven Towers until the moment before the action, so he simply didn't ask.

As for the envoy of the Seven Towers mentioned by Sha Duo, Horn's answer was somewhat beyond Sha Duo's expectation, "I will be with you tomorrow. I can represent the Seven Towers."

"Okay, then it's settled, I'll come find you at 12 noon tomorrow."

Xia Duo didn't think much, and left the tavern alone after agreeing on a time with Horn.

…

Back at Azure Manor, Niya was still waiting for Xia Duo. The Seven Towers discovered that mysterious dragons and the existence of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire were also known to Niya. Now when Xia Duo came back, she immediately asked about the result of the meeting between the two.

"Seven Towers gave in. The ultimate technology in the bloodline field is too tempting and they can't afford to wait. However, this is not entirely because of my request. If we can communicate, communication will actually be more beneficial to everyone."

Again, the Seven Towers were so jealous of the bloodline technology displayed by that mysterious dragon that they wanted to devour it all at once. Unfortunately, they were still a little behind in terms of mobile war spell platforms, so Xia Duo There is an opportunity to get involved.

"Then when will you act?"

"tomorrow."

"So urgent?"

"There is no hurry. The longer we delay, the greater the risk will be. If that mysterious dragon finds out that we are plotting against him, it will not be a good thing for us, no matter whether he is from the Holy Golden Dragon Empire or not."

Qita was anxious because of his bloodline technology, and Xia Duo was anxious because he wanted to verify as soon as possible whether the other party was from the Holy Golden Dragon Empire. The two sides knew each other and had found the right person.

But Niya is still a little worried about this matter, "If that dragon comes from the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, what should we do?"

"What else can I do? I can only encourage the growth of my own territory. As for others, I'm afraid the Holy Golden Dragon Empire is really coming. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net may not be willing to make any response. Maybe they want to be the leader. Woolen cloth!"

What Xia Duo has established in his territory is a centralized system. Once a war breaks out, the centralized system will definitely be more efficient. However, the problem is that others may not be willing to join Xia Duo's system.

And Xia Duo is even less likely to accept being blindly directed by others, so there must be a conflict.

In peacetime, he can develop and assimilate slowly, but how could the enemy give him such ample time during war? If they were a little more hasty, the others might not want to defend themselves against the enemy, but would have to defend him first, Xia Duo.

Therefore, the only hope that Xia Duo could think of was to speed up the territory, use all means to fully industrialize the territory, and at the same time start inheritance rituals as much as possible to first build the consumption and regeneration foundation needed for war.

As for the rest, we can only consider it slowly after the war.

It's just that this will inevitably have an indelible impact on the development of the territory. The good aspects can only be obtained some time in advance, but the bad aspects may be eliminated at an unknown cost in the future.

If possible, Xia Duo still hopes that there will be no war, at least not a full-scale war.
