Arcane Lord

Yongle City was teleported back to the main plane from the blue crystal plane. The movement was naturally quite big. Almost at the moment Yongle City appeared in the sky above the southern border, the Northland Alliance detected a large-scale super-magic event that occurred in Netheril.

It's just that when it was discovered that the super-magic incident occurred in the southern border of Netheril, the discoverer did not report it immediately. After all, there would be a super-magic incident alarm in the southern border every three to five, including in many areas of the five major countries. in this way.

The Northland Alliance is currently discussing amending the magic restriction treaty, so as long as these super-magic incidents do not occur in sensitive areas, the discoverers generally only record them and do not report them.

It wasn't until Yongle City was teleported to the sky above the Langas Plain in the far west of Netheril that the Northland Alliance's super-magic incident monitor realized something was wrong, because a little past the Langas Plain was the extremely sensitive Gray Peak Mountains.

The area where the giant mithril mine is located!

As a result, there was a rush in the monitoring room, and the discoverer immediately reported it to his superiors.

…

In Sevington, in the private reception room of the Austrian and French Federation, after Shado sent Yongle City to the sky above the Langas Plain, not surprisingly, he received an invitation from Badigal——

"I happened to be at the Austrian Law Federation to do something. Does Mr. Chateau have time to meet?"

Of course, Chateau didn't believe that Badigal came to the Austrian-French Federation by such a coincidence, otherwise he would have already met several members of Congress here, and he didn't see Badigal proactively inviting him to meet.

But Shado did not refuse Badigal's invitation. Instead, he told the location of his reception room. After a while, Badigal walked in from the outside with a trace of solemnity on his face.

Xia Duo stood up to greet them. After the two sat down, neither party took the initiative to speak at first. In the end, Badigal couldn't help but asked first:

"Is the magic network shock that just appeared in the southern border and Langas Plain your new floating city?"

"Yes, what did Speaker Badigal have to say?" Sha Duo admitted this frankly, and he was not prepared to hide anything about it.

After all, the floating city has arrived near the Gray Peak Mountains. If you still think about hiding it at this time, you will think everyone is a fool!

After receiving Sha Duo's affirmative answer, Badigal breathed a sigh of relief, but the shock in his heart did not calm down at all, but became more intense.

"I didn't expect that Representative Xia Duo would build another floating city in such a short period of time. This efficiency really puts Seven Towers to shame!" Badigal said with emotion.

Since the main body of the first floating city was returned to the Straits Mountains, Seven Towers has been trying to build a second floating city. So far, it has only built a prototype. It can be used to bluff people, but it cannot deceive itself.

He couldn't figure out how Xia Duo could build a new floating city like this. The only explanation was that the planning and construction had started long ago, even when the first floating city was built.

However, he came to see Xia Duo this time not to discuss the efficiency of the construction of the floating city, but directly asked Xia Duo about the purpose of sending the floating city to Langas Plain:

"Does Congressman Xia Duo have any thoughts about the mithril mine discovered in the Gray Peak Mountains?"

"Of course I have ideas, but I respect and obey the resolution of the parliament. I sent Yongle City there just to deal with accidents. If nothing happens, Yongle City will not leave the territory of Nese."

After speaking, Sha Duo also introduced the name of Yongle City to Badigal.

Just like the name of the first floating city "Chang'an" was taken from "long-term peace and order", Yongle naturally also has a moral meaning, which means "the country will always be peaceful and the people will always enjoy peace and happiness".

If a new floating city is built in the future, it may be named "Taiping", "Yong'an", "Kaiyuan", or "Jianwu". Of course, it may also be named by other names. It has not yet been determined.

In fact, explaining to Badigal the meaning of the name of the floating city is also to express to him his attitude towards Netheril and the situation in the North, which is to want long-term stability, peace and happiness, and to avoid turmoil.

No matter how dull Badigal was, he would not think that Sha Duo had no intention at all in introducing him to the naming of the floating city. He understood Sha Duo's intention almost instantly, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief again.

"The Seven Towers have reached a consensus. As for the mithril mine discovered this time, as long as there is no conflict, Netheril will fight if they can. If they can't fight, they must at least guarantee a guaranteed share. There is no need to be in the current situation. If you conflict with the elves during rapid development, no matter what the outcome is now, there will always be a time of reckoning in the future.”

"Wise move!" Xia Duo praised.

But when Badigal heard such words, he did not seem relaxed. Instead, he frowned and showed a wry smile, "The current Severnton Parliament is no longer like the past. The Seven Towers can no longer completely dominate. The Seven Towers are willing not to fight. Others may not be willing to do so, especially those from the Three Faces of Sweetwater. They have just returned from the secondary plane and are in urgent need of various accumulations. The newly discovered unowned mithril mine this time is like a pie falling from the sky. How can they May give up easily.”

"Have Seven Towers already talked to them?" Sha Duo asked.

Just before meeting Jenna, he had met several sweetwater three-faced congressmen who were interested in getting closer to him. He did hear some bad news from those congressmen, but those congressmen Before leaving, he said that he was sure to convince the other three sweetwater councilors.

So what is Badigal worried about now?

In this regard, Badigal's next answer explained this problem, "The Seven Towers have indeed talked to them. They asked the Seven Towers to either compensate for the resources they owed to the Three Dimensions of Sweet Water, or to support their newly discovered To gain more shares in the mithril mine, they will not suffer any loss no matter how they choose.”

After saying that, Badigal seemed to be worried that Sha Duo didn't understand the inside story, so he explained a few more words, "In the past, the three dimensions of Sweet Water were owned by the Seven Towers. We should invest a lot of resources. For those secondary We owe nothing to the ordinary people there, and we even treat them more favorably than we do at home.

"Even for the Grand Arcanist who hides behind the scenes, we have tried our best to provide them with treatment that is consistent with their status. Now the compensation they are asking for is completely based on their possible income from standing at the front desk from the beginning and running everything independently. They are asking for analogies. As the assets of the local great arcanist, does Councilor Xia Duo think Seven Towers should agree to such a request?"

"I see!"

Shado had only heard about the conflict between the three representatives of Sweetwater and the Seven Towers from his teacher Iolum before. As an outsider, Iolum didn't say much about the details.

Now that I heard more details from the person involved, Badigal, I couldn't help but be surprised by the greed of the three sweetwater councilors.

However, this is only Badigal's unilateral account. There may be other hidden secrets in it that Badigal is inconvenient to mention. Who is right and who is wrong? As an outsider, Chateau does not know the whole story, so it is difficult to comment. ()
