Not long ago, Shado proposed in the Seven Towers to "force Cormanthor to give up the evaluation and investigation rights attached to the Demon Limitation Treaty". On the surface, it did not bring intuitive benefits to Netheril.

It just dispelled Cormanthor's power, and relieved a certain amount of super-magic pressure for the rest of the alliance at the beginning of the chaotic early stage of the treaty's implementation.

Whether Comanso is willing to accept it or not, unless he "retires" immediately, it is almost impossible to resist the collective will of the alliance.

This approach is the same as Comansor's proposal to sign the "Magic Restriction Treaty" before - other countries, even Il Farang, who is an ally of Nether, expressly agree, as long as Netheril does not withdraw immediately, it can only be forced Accept with the scalp.

So, will Comanso quit the group?

of course not.

It's just different from Netheril's reason for not withdrawing from the group because he wanted more development opportunities, Comansor's reason for not withdrawing from the group is to a large extent to use the alliance's power to suppress Netheril within the framework of the alliance. rising momentum.

In other words, as long as Netheril doesn't retire, Cormanthor won't.

Correspondingly, even if Netheriel withdraws from the group, Comanthor will not necessarily withdraw. Wouldn't it be more labor-saving to join the alliance to suppress Netheril?

At the same time, you can use the resources of the alliance to develop yourself.

It's just that once Netheril withdraws from the Northland Alliance, Il Farang will almost certainly quit along with him, and will not continue to be angry in the alliance. By then, the Northland Alliance will really exist in name only.

…

In the second half of the meeting, Shado didn't talk much about the current situation with Larian, but turned to the topic of Everiska's local life.

Such as the journals that Chateau bought here when he hid his identity before, the sun rose in the sky garden, or topics such as mystery locks.

The atmosphere was not as serious as it was at the beginning, and Larian later called his eldest son Lyleus, who was Lunasis' father.

"Lord Shado, I will go to the Cloud Crown Palace. Let Lyle show you around the city first. The Council of Elders will give you a satisfactory answer later."

"Elder Larian, please do it yourself, Lyle and I can chat very well, waiting for your good news."

…

After Larian left, Lyle offered to take Shado to walk in the city, but Shado refused and stayed in this small garden to wait for news from Larian.

Of course, the more important thing is to chat with Lyle about the mystery lock. After all, you can go to visit anytime, but it is not always possible to communicate with a high-level mage who focuses on the study of the mystery lock field.

Lyleus, as the eldest son of Elder Larian, has received a systematic magic education since he was a child, and he has a lot of attainments in the field of magic.

Although Larian didn't introduce it just now, Shado was keenly aware of the powerful power that Lyleus deliberately concealed.

Perhaps it was not long after he became a high-level mage, and Lyleus still did not have a good grasp of the power to control the magic net, but after all, it was elf magic, and it focused on the coordination with the magic net itself.

If you were another great arcanist, you might not be able to notice this, but Xado has been incarnated as an elves many times in the projection plane, and he has also received a complete education in elves magic, and even more in-depth.

When he found out that Lyleus was also a high mage, his surprise was not a bit or two.

As far as Xiaduo knew, this Lyleus was just in his early 300s, which in terms of a human lifespan would be around 40 years old.

To become a high-level mage at this age is not only unique in the world of elves, but at least it can be regarded as an excellent talent.

When Shado communicated with his high-mage follower Elfitch, Elfitch had mentioned more than once that there were almost no elf high-mages younger than 300 years old.

Lierlus is just 300 years old, and this talent is almost top-notch. Of course, this is still incomparable to Hildarana becoming a high mage before the age of 300.

But it is extremely rare for such a talented mage to emerge in a small country.

At the same time, it also gave Xia Duo a new understanding of the potential of these small countries.

Due to the long lifespan of elves, a small country may be able to accumulate no less than the number of high-level mages in a large country. The difference between a large country and a small country may only be the proportion of true elders who have only one breath left.

Of course, there is also the influence of population factors, but in an elf society that also does not have universal universal magical education, the influence of population size is almost negligible compared to time.

Although the static strength of a small country may not be weaker than that of a large country, once it really starts to fight, a small country that does not have enough high-level mages who can continue to make shots will almost certainly be hanged by the big country.

And the most important thing is that once those true elders are exhausted and cannot be replenished for a long time, that is the crisis of the country's subjugation.

Of course, according to UU reading www.uukanshu.com, big countries generally do not directly go to war with small countries. Although from the results, it is destined to win, but the losses caused during this period are immeasurable, and maybe the fight is over. was destroyed by another great power.

Therefore, Shado deduces that the future hostilities between the northern kingdoms will be carried out in the form of covert operations and low-intensity conflicts, and it is unlikely that a large-scale formal war will occur.

Like the kind of general national war in , it is almost impossible to appear on the main plane.

The war on the projection plane was completely planned by the "great sages" in the past of the main plane from the birth of the empire, and it took the initiative to initiate it after nearly a thousand years of preparation.

If it is the place where he lives, Xia Duo does not believe that someone can really drag everyone including himself into the water. If there is such a person, Xia Duo will be the first to kill each other. He believes that the Seven Pagodas will also will do so.

…

The communication with Lyleus was very smooth. At first, Xia Duo just asked the other party with some superficial questions, but the other party did not mean to be perfunctory and answered seriously, which exceeded Xia Duo's expectations.

So, he naturally went deeper and asked about the content related to distributed nodes, and even some questions about the design of the floating city fan lock that he just started the project.

In this regard, although Lyleus was surprised by a human being's understanding and proficient in Mystery Lock, he still did not refuse to answer, and from his answer, Shado could see that the other party was not perfunctory.

"Lyle, I didn't expect such a big surprise this time. If you have the chance, please come to the Tower of Time as a guest."

"There will be a chance."
