Arcane Lord

Back in the study, Badigal sat quietly for a while and clicked on the communication device in the corner of the desk. After a while, several projections appeared in the study.

Horn's projection immediately expressed dissatisfaction as soon as it appeared, "Badigal, if you have anything to do, you can't say it during the day. I'm conducting an important experiment. If it fails because of you, the loss will be yours!"

Badigal did not respond and remained silent. After seeing this, Horn was not ready to continue his attack. It was not until everyone arrived that Badigal slowly spoke:

"I still think we can't open this hole. Dwarves are not half-elves. They are completely different from us and it is difficult to integrate. When they develop and grow, there will inevitably be more demands. I suggest that we intensify the search and completely eliminate the spellcasting among dwarves. Or, completely eliminate their resistance.”

Badigal, who had just promised to protect the dwarf, now said the opposite of what he had said before. But the problem was that the promise was not made by Badigal alone, but the decision made by the great arcanists of the Seven Towers.

It was agreed at the beginning, but now he wants to object again. Horn, who has always been at odds with Badigal, seized the opportunity again, "Badigal, I remember you were the one who asked the dwarf to participate in the competition, right? What do you mean by saying this now? ?”

"Horn, you know what I mean! Asking dwarfs to participate in the competition and giving them a piece of land are completely different things. I regret it now, can't I?"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Randall from Jilan Tower immediately stood up and stopped the two of them, "Can you guys not start arguing as soon as they meet? Let's first listen to the explanation from Her Highness the Princess. Last time, she was in a hurry. The decision has been made, and I feel a little hasty now.”

Everyone looked at Princess Xia. Xia's expression remained unchanged. Like today, it was not the first time that something had changed after a decision was made before.

Most of the time, proposals between the Grand Arcanists of the Seven Towers are easily passed. Everyone knows each other's bottom line and boundaries, and some suggestions and decisions are mostly in line with the common interests of the Seven Towers.

Basically, if it is proposed and passed, no one will object easily. But once something changes, even if they regret it later, the original proposer must give everyone an explanation.

In essence, the Seven Towers Group is a small Austrian-French Federation. This explanation can basically be regarded as "reconsideration." As long as most people can be convinced, maintaining the original decision is certain.

If not, then it would be reasonable to overturn the original decision.

Although Sia didn't expect anyone to question her previous decision, this matter was originally her proposal, and naturally she had many considerations. She was indeed in a hurry last time and didn't have time to explain in detail. Now that someone is questioning it, it happens to be an opportunity to explain. :

"Before explaining, let me introduce you to some Yellow Maple Hills——"

The projection used in the meeting between the seven great arcane masters was naturally not an ordinary projection. Shia's projection had a spell-casting ability similar to that of the main body. As soon as he pointed it out, a projection map appeared in Badigal's study.

The map keeps changing, and finally the perspective stays at a suitable angle.

"If you pay a little attention to the development progress of the Kangchi Plain, you should be able to recognize where this is. The southernmost part of the Kangchi Plain is where the Yellow Maple Hills are."

Shia pointed to a corner of the map, highlighted the area at the same time, and continued, "The gnolls are entrenched here, and the land is not fertile. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the elves have actually intervened in the territory of Nether. The dwarf!

"It is not easy to completely eliminate the dwarfs in the territory, and it is not necessary. What I mean is that we can cultivate an obedient dwarf tribe and gather the scattered dwarfs to prevent the elves from randomly interfering and making things uncontrollable. "

There is actually another issue hidden in this, and that is about the issue of defining the territory of Nese. Although Princess Shia did not say it explicitly, others more or less felt it.

Regarding the Nese territory, the definition of the Nese people and the definition of the elves are obviously not the same thing. The Nese people believe that the surrounding unowned lands belong to the Nese territory, and even the owned lands can be discussed.

The definition of elves is just the existing living land opened up by the Nese people. Specifically, it is the collection of all Nese territories.

Land is the place of survival, and it is the most inalienable. In order to achieve substantial occupation as soon as possible, it is okay to be a little radical.

It's not enough to just call on the Netherese people to explore. Even foreigners can also explore as long as they obey the order and rule of Netheril.

As long as it is developed, it will be Nese territory, and even the elves cannot question it.

"We are still in control now. As for the future, do you have confidence?"

Although the others did not answer, their eyes were full of determination.

At this moment, Badigal suddenly took the initiative and said, "I will always keep an eye on those little things. If they dare to have any objections, I will destroy them with my own hands, and those with long ears. As long as they dare to come over and cause trouble, I will kill them all." one."

This means that he has agreed with Sia's approach.

But at the same time, some of his actions also made Shia frown, "Needless to say, this is not your responsibility alone, it is the responsibility of the Seven Towers and even all Nese mages."

After a pause, Sia's tone became slightly tougher, "However, it is better to be more cautious when it comes to elves. If you irritate our neighbor to the east again, I will not clean up your mess again."

cough--

Badigal smiled awkwardly, "I will be careful next time and won't let them get the hang of it."

snort--

Shia was indeed a little dissatisfied, "The God Ascension Plan cannot be the reason for me to endlessly force them. Next time you take action, can you inform me in advance so that I can be prepared!"

The plan to ascend to the gods was well proposed by the elves, and they indeed needed the cooperation of Netheril. However, this plan may have some unknown conspiracy, but at least from now on, it seems that it is mutually beneficial to both parties.

Shia couldn't rely on this to endlessly ask the elf to give in. It only happened once in a while. It was like this every time. Even if she were an elf, she wouldn't be able to bear it.

Seeing that Princess Shia didn't seem to be joking, Badigal knew that he had indeed gone too far in the past, "Don't worry, I will go to the underground passage next, and I will ask the people below to stop their actions. We will see you next time." Action, I will definitely tell you in advance.”

snort--

Princess Shia snorted again and canceled the projection.

Seeing this, everyone else also canceled their projections. Only Horn stayed at the end and said meaningfully, "Don't overestimate the rationality of those with long ears."

This time it was Badigal's turn to snort, but Horn's projection disappeared in time, and the only target of his snort was the empty study room.

Picking up a book on the desk, Badigal was about to open it when his face suddenly changed and he disappeared in an instant. Only the book that had just been picked up slowly fell down, making no sound when it came into contact with the desk.
