Arcane Lord

"Elder Hildalanna has already gone to Netheril. She will try her best to mediate this matter, but there must be an explanation for this matter. I can be sure that I did not do it. What about you?"

The calm but suppressed angry voice of King Helion echoed in the meeting hall, and the elders all frowned. The matter itself was nothing. In the past, both Yeerlan and Cormanthor had targeted them. Nese Elite Mage Assassination Operation.

But this time it was different. The target's identity was a Grand Arcanist, which was unprecedented at this time. Moreover, he was also a student of Yin Orum, and his influence was even more unusual.

Secondly, the target has an extremely flexible and powerful war spell platform. Without the control of the target, this power is very likely to be out of control. Various factors make the consequences of this matter extremely serious.

After King Helion made it clear that this matter had nothing to do with him, the elders also expressed their opinions one after another, claiming that it had nothing to do with him. Helion generally believed what the elders said.

Although after the system reform, these elders and he sometimes had differences and even conflicts on various domestic affairs in Yeerlan, the general direction of their interests was consistent.

No matter how they fight internally, they will not destroy their common platform for gaining interests - Ye Erlan!

"Elders, who do you think might have done this?"

"King Mian, I think the demon descendant is very suspicious, because the number of high-ranking mages from various countries in the North is roughly certain. Even if there is something concealed, some traces can still be found."

"Yes, I agree with Elder Darien's point of view. I am afraid that except for demons, no other country can produce such a high-ranking mage who is almost a dead soldier. When I feel the attraction of Avandor's homeland, I will sacrifice for my family and Erlan. I would, but I don’t want to die so anonymously.”

"Indeed, the current suspicion of this matter is all on me, Ye'erlan. No other country dares to claim it, and there is no possibility of any internal compensation. Otherwise, if we are caught, we and Netheril will be offended at the same time."

"Even with the arrogance of King Yin Lisel of the East, he would not do such an unwise thing!"

"They must be demons. They are trying every possible means to plunge the North into war, so that their evil plan can be realized."

"I suggest convening a Northland Alliance meeting immediately and conducting another demon investigation. I believe that as long as they do this, they will definitely find clues!"

The elders just said something to each other, and quickly identified the demon as the mastermind behind this incident. After all, the saint form of the high mage in this incident was obvious to everyone present, and only the demon was the most powerful person in the entire North. It’s easy to pass the blame.

Other countries, even if they are really responsible, as long as there is no evidence, once they fall into a war of words, Erlan himself will be the biggest suspect.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to do it in one step. It was directly done by the demon. The motive is to disrupt the Northland Alliance so that they can implement their evil plan. The ability is also - more than one high-ranking mage has been infiltrated and transformed by the demon.

The opportunity is even better - the demons are hiding in the dark. Not long ago, when Netheril performed the ascension ceremony, weren't there demons who came to cause trouble? Wouldn't it just show the evilness of the demon descendants if we do it again now?

…

Just as Ellan was discussing a plan to transfer hatred, Hildalanna, who came to comfort Netheril on behalf of the Parliament and the Crown King, had already arrived in Severton.

Because the Tower of Time refused to attend any negotiation, Hildalanna and her group of elves had seven towers responsible for reception and subsequent negotiations.

But when both parties sat down, the first issue was almost broken down. In response to Badigal's statement that Erlan participated in the negotiations as a party, Hildalanna made a serious protest:

"I was entrusted by King Helion and the Council of Elders of Gaoshu to come to provide assistance and condolences to Severington and the families of related personnel who suffered a terrorist attack. Instead of negotiating as a party to deal with the aftermath, please Badigal Your Excellency, watch your words.”

"I know you have your excuses, but the reality is that the assassin chanted Yeerlan's fanatical slogans and assassinated our lord. I can tell you clearly that we must give us a satisfactory explanation for this matter."

As a diplomat, Badigal's words were somewhat inappropriate, but he was not an ordinary diplomat. He was one of the parties who was being stared at by Yin Olum and wanted to explain.

Although the Seven Towers are unlikely to be the mastermind behind the attack, it is impossible for the Seven Towers to be completely disconnected from the incident, and the light of annihilation that fell from the Chateau Floating City not long ago is very convincing.

Badigal knew very well that if this matter was not handled well, not to mention Netheril itself, not even the Northern Alliance would be able to live in peace.

But the problem is that Ye Erlan now completely refuses to admit that this matter has anything to do with them, and only pretends to come to support and express condolences, which really makes him upset.

And out of caution, Badigal did not dare to let Yeerlan's investigators participate in the investigation of this incident. Although in his opinion, Yeerlan could not be so unwise as to assassinate Chateau at such a critical moment, but what if?

If Erlan's investigators destroyed the evidence they found, just a few slogans from the assassin would not be enough to arouse the sympathy of the countries in the Northland Alliance.

Once a war breaks out, Netheril may also be subject to sanctions from other countries.

In fact, in Badigal's view, war, or at least a short-term intense conflict, is inevitable. Let alone him, no one in Netheril has the right to prevent Shador's followers from taking revenge.

The only question is whether the real target of revenge can be found.

Taking all things into consideration, Badigal hoped that Erlan would directly admit it and then give Shado adequate compensation in time, so that even if a conflict occurs, it can be settled quickly. Netheril is currently at a critical moment, and it is really not suitable for a war.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Xia Duo did not suffer irreversible damage, otherwise it would be troublesome.

If Ye Erlan doesn't admit that he did it, it would be great if he can help find the mastermind who can convince the people in the south.

…

The meeting between the two parties in Severton did not make much progress. They only reached a consensus that the incident itself should be investigated first, and the investigators who came here from Ye Erlan this time could not participate in the investigation.

Instead, they were rehired from other countries in the Northern Alliance, and Yeerlan was responsible for all the expenses.

Because of the Tower of Time's declaration of revenge, in addition to acknowledging the assassination, Ye Erlan also provided support as much as possible in order to find out the matter as soon as possible.

The Seven Towers seem to have nothing to do with them, but the new covenant is about to be signed. If this matter is not handled well, let alone the continuation of the ruling position, I am afraid that the entire covenant system will be threatened.

In this case, only by persisting in the investigation and finding out the truth as soon as possible can the matter be quickly settled and the reputation of the Seven Towers restored.
