Arcane Lord

These issues do not involve interests, and precisely because of this there is no basis for negotiation.

For example, the final signing place when the Northland League was formed.

Most of the elven countries hoped that the signing would be in the Elf Court, but Ilfarang did not agree from the beginning to the end that the final signing place would be in the Elf Court.

There are three claims in Elfaran, one is the capital of Elfaran, Erintal, the other is Severington, the capital of Netheril, and the last one is the neutral city-state of Elves, Evereska.

Danzo, on the other hand, did not have any requirements for the signing location, and only hoped to receive assistance from various countries as soon as possible.

Of course, there are also issues such as the common language of the alliance, the location of permanent agencies, etc. Although the Northland Alliance is only a loose alliance organization, these issues do not involve direct interests, but the indirect impact is also very far-reaching.

With no party willing to make concessions, the Northland Alliance negotiations have reached a deadlock.

Among them, the attitude of Netheril plays a very important role. In addition to Danzo, the four northern countries are the strongest: Cormanthor, Erlan, Elfaran, and Netheril.

And the relationship between these four countries is also very complicated——

Cormanthor has the deepest hostility with Elfaran, followed by Netheril; and Netheril has the closest relationship with Elfaran, followed by Ellan.

As for the relationship between Ellan and Cormanthor, it is not very close. The first point is that Ellan is too far away from Cormanthor and too close to Elfaran. Although they have drifted away from Netheril, they are still full of ambiguity.

It is almost impossible to forcefully combine these four countries.

And if these four countries do not participate in the alliance, the alliance itself will not have much meaning.

Not the five countries of the alliance (including Danzo), but the alliance of the five countries!

…

In the reception room, Prince Pasteur asked again: "I hope Your Excellency Badigal can help persuade Ilfaran. Danzo will definitely not forget the dedication of the Seven Towers."

"let me consider it."

Hearing this sentence, Prince Pasteur's heart suddenly became cold, but then he heard another sentence - "But I will give you an answer today."

Prince Pasteur was immediately overjoyed. Based on his understanding of the Seven Towers, if he had not made a decision, he would never have left any room.

At the same time, considering the current situation in Netheril, it is highly likely that they will agree.

"Thank you, Lord Badigal!"

…

After Prince Pasteur left, Badigal ignored the rest and immediately informed the other six tower leaders that the drow might be hoarding demons.

Not long after, six more projections appeared in the reception room. After discussing for a while, the seven great arcane masters urgently summoned Lucian, Ambassador of Ilfaran.

As soon as they met, Badigal broke the news, "Danzo may not be able to hold on any longer!"

"How can this be?"

Lucian suddenly showed a surprised expression, "Elintal has been transporting supplies to Denzo through the Riven River. How can they not persist?"

Badigal recounted the information Prince Pasteur had just provided, but Lucien still refused to believe it. He said: "This must be a conspiracy by Cormanso to make us make concessions in the Northland Alliance negotiations."

Badigal and others exchanged glances with each other, and then Randall spoke, expressing the attitude of the Seven Towers, "The Northland Alliance negotiations cannot be delayed any longer. We have decided that as long as the alliance venue is not located in Comanso, all parties will acceptable."

The venue here actually also includes the location of the subsequent permanent institutions of the alliance.

When Randall said these words, Lucian immediately realized that Netheril might have accepted Danzo's lobbying. He had expected this, but he did not expect it to come so quickly.

"Is Netheril also leaning toward Evriska?"

"It's not where we prefer, but now, besides Everesca, is there another location that can be accepted by many parties?" Badigal asked rhetorically.

In fact, at the end of the negotiation, the biggest difficulty was that Cormanthor was unwilling to give up the Elven Court. At the same time, the Elven Court was the most desired meeting place for all the other elven countries except Elfaran.

At this time, Randall also persuaded: "If the venue is in Everesca, Erlan may not continue to support Comanso. This is a win-win situation for all parties except Comanso.

"If Ambassador Lucian does not have the authority to make a decision, I hope you can convey our opinions back to Eilintal as soon as possible."

"Let me think about it." Lucien lowered his head and thought quickly.

For Ilfaran, it is undoubtedly the most advantageous for the venue to be in Erintal, but it is also undoubtedly the least acceptable to Cormanthor.

Correspondingly, the Elf Court is also the most unacceptable to Elfaran.

As for Severnton, which Netheril had previously advocated, there would be almost no other countries to unify except Ilfaran. Now it seems that each party takes a half step back, and Cormanthor takes a step back, which can be considered a good ending.

But in this way, my achievements will be much less!

Lucian was originally sure that Cormanthor would make various concessions because he was worried that the drow would break out of the surface, but this was only the most ideal situation. Now no one wants the drow to break out of the surface, including Ilfarang. Inside.

After thinking carefully for a while, Lucien still didn't want to bet on whether Cormanthor would give in completely. After all, he couldn't bear the consequences of losing the bet.

Although the achievements are less now, the risks are also lower, which may not be unacceptable, but the specific details need to be carefully considered.

"Everyone, since the underground situation has changed, Irfaran will naturally focus on the overall situation. However, I need to report this matter to the country first before I can give you a formal reply. In addition, when it comes to the negotiation table, we need both you and me. Let’s discuss it carefully with our staff.”

"Okay." Badigal exchanged opinions with everyone, then nodded and looked towards the door, indicating that Lucien could leave.

Lucien immediately understood, bowed, and left.

…

After Lucien left, the projections of Randall and others did not dissipate, but the Northland Alliance issue was temporarily resolved. Only then did Badigal think of asking Skum about the cause of Cliff's death. Follow-up to findings:

"Did Magna and the others go to Giles Tower for review?"

"Magna went, but the others didn't." Skum's face was rather ugly.

Magna was going to review, which was obviously a distrust of the Seven Towers. When he thought that there was still another Hawk that had not been solved, his mood became even worse.

"By the way, Hawke just mentioned the Northland Alliance negotiations at the meeting. Do you think he was entrusted by Prince Pasteur or ordered by Comanso?" Skum said meaningfully.

"Who cares about him? Anyway, the overall situation has been decided now. It doesn't matter what purpose he has. We just need to be ourselves. I'm tired, let's go first."

Harris replied casually and dispelled the projection. After him, the rest of the people also left, including Badigal.

In the end, only Skum's projection was left in the reception room, and Skum's face instantly became extremely ugly.

He looked at the location where Harris's projection had just been, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.

"snort!"

Then, the projection disappears.
