Arcane Lord

After receiving the princess's reply of approval, Erlan Ambassador Ivoryaris secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while Ambassador Cormanso on the side showed obvious joy and said impatiently:

"Please also ask Your Highness the Princess to issue passage vouchers for our personnel!"

As soon as these words came out, not only the representatives of the Seven Towers and all the lords and lord representatives in the hall frowned, but also the elf Ivoryaris was also a little unhappy.

Although the country of Ellan is also dissatisfied with the rise of Netheril, humans are short-lived species after all, and who can guarantee that there will be great arcanists from generation to generation!

On the contrary, immortal species like elves have no such doubts. As long as any elves are well cultivated, they are almost the seeds of high wizards. As long as they recover from the decline after the Crown War, the leaders of this world will still be elves.

It would be extremely unwise to use the opportunity for recovery to fight humans and exchange the lives of long-lived species for the lives of short-lived species.

Ivoryaris has always disapproved of repeated conflicts with Netheril. It would be best to cut off contact and completely block him in the Alabaster Tower. But after all, he is just a small person. Although he is sad about the choice in the country, there is nothing he can do about it. .

Looking at Ambassador Cormanzo again, Ifoyaris almost saw the appearance of those in power in the country. Are humans now still as free as they were in the past?

From the time when the first Nese Grand Arcanist was born without choosing to suppress it, the situation has changed, so that humans now have more than a dozen such beings.

"Your Highness, there will be specialized personnel in China to contact you later about the Snow Moon Arcane Competition."

Ifoyaris said this to the representatives of the Seven Towers, but more to Ambassador Comanso. If you want to join the competition between the two countries, you must follow the rules.

Regardless of the basis for such a decision in the country, Ifoyaris still has his own principles. Perhaps after this time, he should return to the country to recuperate.

Ambassador Cormanso obviously heard the meaning of Ifoyaris's words, but he didn't take it to heart. How could Ivorialis, who came from a small Yeerlan family, convince him!

Even if it was in the past, an ordinary [Se-Tai'Quisser] would never have the chance to be in the same room as a noble [Al-Tai'Quisser] like him.

But now, he still had to use the other party, so he took a step back and motioned for Ivoyaris to continue. Although Ivoyaris was dissatisfied, he had to accept the order from the country:

"Your Royal Highness, please provide us with a seat!"

The princess did not move at all. She stretched out her hand and an independent seat appeared next to the seat of the representative of the Seven Towers. If it were in the past, this would be the seat of King Nese and the Elven Ambassador.

But from ancient times to the present, even when Netheril gave up elven magic and turned to learn the new magic system studied from the "Scrolls of Netheril", and when the two countries even broke off diplomatic relations for a time, Erlan never really asked Severnton This is the first time for a seat in parliament.

No matter what the historical origin is, if an elf is placed in a high position, most of the lords below him will not look good. They are spellcasters and rulers, not the lowest common people.

In their eyes, elves are not "messengers of God", "embodiments of goodness and beauty", or "symbols of noble spirit" at all, but another kind of "human being" wearing a different "skin" from them.

However, there are also some who turn their heads to look at others from time to time, showing a tacit smile.

…

The court discussion is still going on, but this time there are two more elves, one sitting in the upper position and the other mixed in the crowd.

The representative of the Seven Towers, Grand Arcanist Badigal, continued to ask Lord Hawke. This was already the third time. If there was still no answer, he would be liable for false accusation. Although the punishment was not painful, the humiliation was certain.

And he was still embarrassed in front of all the lords. It can almost be said that from now on, Hawke Lord Doleson is completely famous in Netheril.

"I -" Doleson glanced at Ambassador Cormanso, who was sitting not far from him, "I have evidence!"

In terms of strength, Ambassador Cormanthor was far inferior to him, but somehow, upon seeing the elf, Doleson calmed down almost immediately, and the regulations he described became clearer and clearer.

"Your Highness, my student has a death curse amulet made by an elf mage. It will leave a mark on the murderer. Just check Lord August or his brother Wilder and you will know everything!"

After saying that, Doleson stared at Lord August, as if he was asking if he dared me to verify it.

Lord August was also present in person. He didn't care about Doleson's accusations. Instead, he laughed twice. "The Elf magic system has long been proven to be unsuitable for Nese people. Now no one is learning it." Elf magic, but you want to use elven magic to verify the arcanists of Netheril, isn’t it ridiculous! Who doesn’t know your relationship with the elves!”

Anyway, it is impossible to admit it, and it is impossible to accept verification. Lord August knows very well that once he admits or is confirmed, he will have violated everyone's taboo, not to mention being abandoned by Gustav Tower. , he himself can't survive.

As long as it is not admitted or confirmed, it can be covered up by accidents. Anyway, the person who died was not a good person, so it will not cause anger and resentment.

So let's just break up the relationship and put the relationship between the Hawke Territory and the elves in the open. This not only reminds the lords that there is an alternative among you, but also can avoid being checked by the elves' spells.

That's not all. Thinking of this, Lord August bowed to the representative of the Seven Towers, and then added: "I, Lord August, have never targeted the Hawk Territory, let alone assassinate their spellcasters. To prove his innocence, I am willing to personally pay Archbishop Benedictus to use [Realm of Honesty]!”

Archbishop Benedictus is the oldest cleric in the Temple of Glory in Severton and the most respected old man. When Lord August mentioned Archbishop Benedictus, many lords instinctively believed him. .

But many people expressed disdain in their hearts. [Realm of Honesty] can indeed verify whether it is a lie, but it is not impossible to fool around, even if the archbishop personally presides over it.

The mainstream belief in Netheril is the Lord of Radiance. In a sense, the Lord of Radiance is even more popular than the goddess of magic. After all, the goddess of magic may be an obstacle to the advancement of arcanists, but the Lord of Radiance is not. .

Doraisin is also the radiant Lord of Faith. Of course, that is on the surface. In private, he has already dedicated his loyalty to the Elf Lord. However, it is impossible for him to question the authority of a highly respected archbishop in front of everyone.

Even now, it is difficult for him to even question Lord August for lying. After all, the other party is willing to let the archbishop verify it, but it is impossible for him to accept such verification.

Who doesn't know that the Temple and the Seven Towers always breathe out of the same nostril. Doleson's mind is confused, what should he do now?

Almost subconsciously, he looked at Ambassador Comanso again, but he didn't know that Ambassador Comanso was also glaring at Ambassador Ivoryars of Yeerlan. He had not said a word until now. Could it be that he was asked to come here just to be a statue?

For a moment, there was silence in the parliament hall.
