Arcane Lord

Seeing Hawke stand up, Scoum immediately frowned. He immediately realized that Hawke's next words might be his real intention.

As a result, Scoum looked at Hawke with an increasingly unkind look. Remembering his previous experience of being interrupted many times by Hawke, he immediately interrupted Hawke's speech:

"Hoke, I convened this temporary meeting just to announce the results of the investigation into Cliff's death. If you have anything to do, you can call everyone together next time to discuss it. Now we all have to go back and rest!"

"Next time? When is the next time?"

Hawke glanced at Scoum with disdain, then glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "It's rare that everyone is here this time. What I want to say is not only my personal matter, but also closely related to you all! "

Hearing this, Magna and others paused their thoughts of leaving immediately and looked at Iolum in unison. Iolum had no objection to this, but nodded and said to Hawke:

"Since everyone is here this time, Lord Hawke, if you have anything to say, you can say it now instead of waiting until next time."

Even Iolum spoke. Although Skum was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything. He just sat down bitterly, his face getting darker and darker, showing his malice towards Hawke with little concealment.

"Everyone, I checked the royal power transfer agreement signed between the Nese family and the Sevington Council. It clearly mentioned that Sevington has certain public attributes, and any Nese lord has the right to build a mage tower in Sevington!

"But in the past hundred years, the Severnton Council, or the Seven Towers, have obstructed in every possible way the power that should be enjoyed by all lords. To this, I express serious protest!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Skoum, but also the rest of the Seven Towers looked at Hawke with very unkind eyes.

Even Iolum was quite dissatisfied with this, but he did not show it. Although he was neutral, he also had the premise of maintaining the stability of Netheril.

Now that Hawke is raising such a question, is it possible that he is trying to make Netheril more stable?

However, no matter how dissatisfied everyone in the Seven Towers and Iolum was, the eyes of Magna, Braun, and Wade suddenly lit up, and even the federation directors who were listening outside the conference hall all showed their displeasure to each other. A knowing look.

You must know that most of the directors who came to listen this time are not affiliated with the Seven Towers. They all represent a force behind them. Now someone finally breaks through the nature of the Seven Towers' monopoly and wants them to gain greater authority and benefits.

It’s too late for them to be happy, so how can they object or be dissatisfied!

Today, most of Severnton's mage towers are concentrated in the old city, which is the private area of ​​​​the Seven Towers. The number of mage towers in the new city is almost handful.

But which archmage doesn't want to have his own mage tower in Severton!

If it’s not for anything else, even if it’s just a temporary residence, it’s great!

"I hope that the Seven Towers can relax control and interference on the construction of the Mage Tower, so that the legal system of the Seventon Council will not be tarnished!"

Regardless of Lord Hawke's past performance, just looking at his words, it really makes people think that he is a decent person who has been wronged but bravely and firmly continues to pursue justice!

But no matter what, now that these words have been said, the Seven Towers must respond.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the conference hall gradually became weird, Badigal immediately stood up and argued: "The Severnton Council has never prohibited any Nese lord from building a mage tower in Severnton. If Lord Hawke intends to build a mage tower in Severnton, If you want to build a mage tower in Dayton, you can first submit an application to the Severton Council."

"Submit an application? Can it be approved by submitting an application?" Hawke asked rhetorically.

"I think as your Excellency, it will not be difficult to pass." Badigal still did not give a clear answer.

But Hawke didn't care, and continued: "So what if it passes, all the quarries around Severton belong to the Lord of the Seven Towers, and the cost of elemental transformation is too huge!

"This does not include whether a thief will come to the construction site at night to cause damage, or the price of mithril and gemstones on the market will suddenly increase, or the Severnton Mystery Lock will fluctuate, causing the element pool to be poorly connected!"

After speaking, Hawke turned to look at the dozen or so federation directors who were listening outside the hall, and asked: "Who do you think can build a mage tower in Severton under such circumstances?"

The directors all bowed their heads in silence, and no one answered, but they all had a common answer in their hearts, that is - only if the Seven Towers belong to it, a mage tower can be built in Severton!

However, Badigal had a plan for this and immediately explained: "Since you mentioned the Mystery Lock, you should know that the construction of the Severnton Mystery Lock was only started in the past hundred years and has not yet been completed.

“In order to reduce interference to the construction of the Mystery Lock, any site selection for a new mage tower must go through multiple verifications to confirm that there will be no serious interference with the Mystery Lock, and only then will the Severnton Council agree to the application.

“The problem you just mentioned about the misconnection of the elemental pool caused by the fluctuation of the Mystery Lock is because the construction date of the Mage Tower is earlier than the construction date of the Mystery Lock, so it is inevitable to receive interference.

"Mage towers built after the construction date of the Mystery Lock, or those that have been transformed and maintained by the Seven Towers, do not have such problems!"

This explanation seems reasonable at first glance, but in fact there is a very fatal loophole. If Hawke had not received the information in advance, he would probably have been bypassed.

As for what the loophole was, Hawke did not shy away and pointed it out directly in front of everyone: "Your Excellency Badigal, if my information is correct, the Severnton Mystery Lock should have been completed not long ago! "

Saying that, he further pressed Iolum: "Master Iolum, as the president of the Austrian Law Federation, you should have the secondary authority of the Seventon Mystery Lock, and you should also know the secret of this secret lock. Is it finished? I would like to ask you for a clear answer!”

Being forced like this by a junior, although Iolum showed no joy or anger on his face, he was very dissatisfied in his heart. However, if this kind of problem is really serious, it is not difficult to investigate, so——

He cannot hide anything on this issue, otherwise it will damage the foundation of the existence of the Austrian-French Federation.

Even if this kind of problem cannot be investigated, he doesn't bother to lie, and he will do whatever he wants!

"Master Iolum!"

For the first time, there was a panicked look in Badigal's eyes, but Iolum still shook his head slightly and gave the answer that was difficult for Badigal to accept:

"Yes, just a few days ago, the Severnton Mystery Lock, which took nearly a century to build, was completed!"

Of course, strictly speaking, today's Severington Mystery Lock has little to do with the Severington Mystery Lock planned a hundred years ago, but it is not wrong to say that it took nearly a hundred years to build.

However, the Seven Towers' research on the Mystery Lock has been very limited in the past hundred years, and only breakthroughs have been made in recent years, which also contributed to the rapid construction of the Seventon Mystery Lock.
