Sevington.

From the beginning of the month to now, the snowmelt competition has reached the last project - "Magnificent Illusion".

The competitive nature of this project is not as good as the previous "Spell Showdown" and "Arcane Puzzle", but for the vast majority of audiences, "Magnificent Illusion" is actually better for viewing.

Outside of the competition, the atmosphere of confrontation between the participating parties has also become much weaker than before. Ambassador Yeerlan even invited Master Nether to the embassy for dinner many times, and the ambassadors of other countries in the Northern Alliance also took more actions.

Even Ambassador Cormanthor has shown his goodwill to Netheril many times in public, but on the other hand, the negotiations of the Northern Alliance on the magic restriction treaty are also advancing unstoppably.

For Netheril, who wants to strive for the maximum easing conditions, the biggest resistance is also Comanthor.

At the same time, Comanthor's representatives continued to ask Netheril to hand over the previously captured elf invaders to all parties in the Northland Alliance, and their intentions were self-evident.

While showing favor, while exerting pressure, while sowing discord, it seems contradictory, but in fact this is the reality. Human hearts are very complicated, and the hearts of elves are not so simple.

Even due to their longer lifespan and longer tradition of court struggles, they are more adaptable to the power game under this alliance order than humans.

…

Austrian Federation.

In the just-concluded round of the Grand Arcanist Joint Meeting, only one Grand Arcanist was present in the Seven Towers, but the negotiations on the share of large-scale magical activities in the Northern Alliance's Magic Restriction Treaty have already had a clear tone. Right now-

Distributed in units of Grand Arcanists!

Regardless of the outcome of the Northland Alliance meeting on Evereska's side, the allocation will be made according to the existing negotiation tone on Netheril's side.

In the study, Iolum casually picked up a mithril pen scattered on the table, and scribbled on the paper, but his mind wandered far away.

I don't know how long it has passed, but the sound of a visitor outside the door woke him up from his contemplation, and what he saw was the abstract painting he had just drawn on the desk.

Ordinary people might not care about such random graffiti content, but Iolum re-read it very seriously and solemnly, and solemnly put it away.

Afterwards, he sighed slightly, and opened the door of the study. As soon as the door was opened, Hechenis stepped into the study, and stopped before Iolum's desk, and said softly:

"President, the Seven Towers have agreed to our plan."

In this regard, Iolum knew it well, and had expected it a long time ago: "It should be agreed. Comanthor has put a lot of pressure on them in the Northern Alliance, and it will not be good for anyone if it continues."

"President, I also inquired about a piece of news. Although I am not sure whether the news is true or not, I think it is necessary to tell the president..."

"What news?"

"It is said that several companies have already obtained the guarantee from the elves about the transfer of shares."

After only saying this sentence, Hatchenis stopped talking, but Iolum already understood what the other party meant, and couldn't help sighing, "You're not stupid!"

After the news spread, the Seven Towers must be the first to feel the pressure, and secondly, the elves, regardless of whether they have such plans now, will definitely take some share in the future to win over the so-called influenceable forces.

"Eternal God Emperor"

No wonder the Seven Towers quickly compromised in all aspects of the negotiation without waiting for the end of the snowmelt competition, whether it was about the distribution plan for the share of large-scale magic activities, or the investment and ownership ratio of the forward base in the ether overlapping area.

"I know about this matter, it has nothing to do with us, and we don't have to participate in anything, let them go!"

"Yes." Hatchenis replied.

"Any thing else?"

"There is another matter related to Your Excellency Broad. Not long ago, he asked the Severton Council to gather a group of new citizens for him. The Seven Towers just contacted me and wanted to ask if it was the president's instruction."

"Call for new citizens?"

Iolum didn't realize it at first, but after he did, he realized something was wrong, "It has nothing to do with me, I don't know, and, is it necessary for the Seven Towers to let you ask me about this kind of thing?"

"Broad wants too many people. This is not in line with the general development process. It is not easy for the Severton Council to question it directly, so it transferred the question to the Seven Towers, and then to me."

In fact, in this matter, Hatchenis also somewhat couldn't understand the way of the Seven Towers, Brod wants someone, just give it to him.

Today, many territories in Netheril are saturated with population, which is completely a burden for many lords who are hard to make up their minds to expel or oppress.

It is only necessary to issue a convening order in the name of the Severton Council, and those lords will rush to send people over, and there is no need for the Seven Towers to pay any price.

After listening to Hatchenis' explanation, Iolum was very curious about how many people Brod wanted, so that the Seven Towers also felt embarrassed, so he asked again:

"The Seven Towers said how many people Brod wanted? Also, did you contact Brod before you came to me?"

"After the Seventh Tower contacted me, I asked Brod to confirm the news. It was indeed consistent with what the Seventh Tower said. As for the number of people, the Seventh Tower told me that it was 50,000, but Brod said that the more the better. .”

"50,000 people?" Iolum subconsciously raised his volume, obviously shocked by this number.

You must know that his current territory has only a few hundred thousand people after it has been in operation for nearly two hundred years. He is well aware of the current development situation of Yibrod's territory. feed.

Unless an arcane garden is built for them, is this necessary? Even if it is to be built, there is still a problem with the time. How can Broad be confident that he can feed these 50,000 people?

"Tell Seven Towers that if you refuse an unreasonable request, you should refuse it, and don't influence their judgment because of me."

After finishing speaking, Iolum told Hatchenis to leave, but before the other party reached the door, he immediately stopped the other party: "Wait, don't contact the Seven Towers yet."

"President?" Hatchenis turned around and asked in confusion.

"I'm talking about Brod, I'll check with Brod first."

"I understand~lightnovelpub.net~ I will wait for the president to inform me before contacting Seven Towers."

"Well, let's go."

…

After Hatchanis left, Iolum sat there for a while, and then cast a summons, but the target of his summons was not the Brod he just mentioned, but—

"Xia Duo, is it your idea that Broad applied for a convening order from the Severton Council? Fifty thousand people at a time, what are you thinking?"

At the same time, the Tower of Time in the southern border.

Xia Duo, who was thinking about how to solve the conflict between the floating city's own suspension and its internal gradient gravity field, suddenly received a summons from Iolum.

After seeing the content, he couldn't help smiling wryly. It wasn't because of Iolum's questioning, but because of Brod. This guy was too honest. He had clearly said before that the 50,000 would come first, but it would be done in batches.

I didn't expect this guy to ask for 50,000 people from the Severton Council at one time. Who can stand it!
