Fortunately, Xia Duo immediately asked Niya to return to the southern border after Schombe came to power, and basically never appeared in Severton again, expressing her position to Schombe and the princess's followers with such a gesture.

Especially the latter, after all, the two sides still have some friendship, such as Archmage Oron, who participated in the orc war in Savile, and Greta, who also gave Shaduo the inheritance of mind spells.

Although Xia Duo is not sure that the other party will definitely use Niya, cutting off this possibility can maximize the friendship between the two parties.

Unless it is an enemy, Xia Duo will not easily test people's hearts.

Just like this time, he wanted to promote the ban on mountain interception and even the proposal of sustainable development, so he came to Iolum immediately to ask for his opinion, instead of using the identity of teacher and student to kidnap him.

At his stage, everything can be put on the table. He said that he went to the Seven Towers, not pretending to be a gesture, but really thinking so.

It's just that Iolum's attitude seems to be extraordinarily firm, Xia Duo also needs to respect the other party's choice, and fulfill the other party's love and love for the students.

…

Next, Xia Duo argued a few more words, but failed to convince Iolum. In the end, Xia Duo agreed to let Iolum try the tone of the Seven Towers first, but he made it clear again that he could use the floating city to trade .

With enough bargaining chips, plus Iolum personally acting, there would not be too many surprises in this matter.

The only accident that Xia Duo could think of was probably Schom. This guy did more than fail, but as long as he persuaded the other six controllers of the Seven Towers, Schum would not be able to cause any big waves.

Soon the two acted separately. Iolum went to the Seven Towers to negotiate, and Xia Duo himself would not be idle. After Iolum left, he contacted his current allies one after another—

Cliff, Magna, Vader, and Jenna.

The first three, like Xia Duo, are relatively resolutely opposed to the order of the Seven Towers of Ascension of the Gods. Among them, Vader's attitude is the most steadfast, followed by Cliff. It is because he is not the leader of Ascension Order.

As for Jenna, Xia Duo is actually an ally in choosing the path of ascension to the gods. Although Xia Duo and Cliff both oppose the order of the seven towers of ascension to the gods, they still hold a more or less positive attitude towards the ascension itself.

Since he took a positive attitude, he definitely needed to make some preparations for Ascension to God. Even if he didn't need it now, it wouldn't be a troublesome thing to prepare first. This required allies.

Only Vader is a staunch opponent of the order of ascending gods. Not only that, he also opposes ascending gods themselves. Vader firmly believes that arcane art is the least, and gods are nothing more than stronger arcanists. He believes in pure The arcane path can also reach the realm of gods.

So in terms of Ascension, Vader is no longer Shaduo's ally.

The real world is extremely complicated. Even allies may have completely different views on the same event, but Xia Duo has always advocated the idea of ​​seeking common ground while reserving differences.

If you can cooperate in any aspect, then cooperate in that aspect, and put aside the discussion of other aspects for the time being.

Now, for the issue of sustainable development, Xia Duo believes that his allies should support it, at least they should not oppose it in their true opinion.

After all, who in this world would really oppose sustainable development, except for the arrogant single husband?

Even if it is not for ordinary people, it is more beneficial to support for one's own children and grandchildren.

…

Xia Duo contacted the four people one by one, and briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter and the possible far-reaching impact. Except for Jenna who was a little hesitant about the attitude of the Seven Towers, the others clearly expressed their support.

This kind of support is not just a verbal solidarity, but that as long as Xia Duo convenes a joint meeting of grand arcanists, they will vote in favor.

It's just that when it's time for the meeting, this matter has basically reached a definite result. Otherwise, would we still have to go to the meeting to argue?

As for the other great arcanists, Brod is one of his own. Whether he supports it largely depends on Iolum's attitude. Now that Iolum is already working on this matter, if Brod doesn't support it Wouldn't it be treasonous.

As for Byron and Congeinho, the former has withdrawn from the public eye long ago, and the latter is also in retirement, but both of them can take care of the overall situation. As long as it is beneficial to the overall situation, it is not difficult to get their support.

Braun should be regarded as a variable. He and Wade don't get along very well. Although sustainable development is beneficial in the long run, a person's specific attitude towards a matter will also be changed by his position.

Let's just take him as objection.

The rest are Hawk and Cross. The relationship between the former and the elves is unclear, and the latter is suspected to be launched by the Seven Towers to carry out centralization reforms.

Hawke will largely use his position to decide whether to support or oppose, but at the moment the relationship between Xia Duo and the elves is not bad, even if the two have had grievances before, it should be covered by harmonious scenes.

Furthermore, the relationship between Hawke and the Seven Towers is not very good, and Xia Duo is still sure that the other party will support his proposal.

And Cross, located in the south of the core area, has won over a group of lords from the Verdant Tower Alliance to jointly develop southward. Even if there is some secret relationship with the Seven Towers, sitting in the other party's position should give birth to a heart of independence.

The more stable the Netheril order is, the more opportunities Cross has to become independent. After all, it is already independent in name, and the rest is nothing more than constantly confirming this point.

Taking a step back, even if Cross and even Hawke, Braun, and Jenna all object, this is only four votes. As long as the Seven Towers don't all object, even if the Grand Arcanist Contact Meeting is called to vote, Xia Duo is sure to win. get above.

It's just that it's somewhat inappropriate to go directly to the meeting without fully exchanging views with all parties on such a major issue.

The most important thing is that Xia Duo's private vote now largely comes from his subjective judgment. Even if Cliff and Magna have clearly supported him, wouldn't UU Reading www.uukanshu.com be rejected? The seven towers win over and vote against it?

Even Vader, who firmly opposes the order of the Seven Towers' Ascension God and even the Ascension God itself, may not be unable to choose to oppose it because of the Seven Towers' compromise in some other aspect.

In short, until the Seven Towers know about this and fully exchange opinions, everything is variable, but from the surface, Xia Duo seems to have the upper hand.

After all, sustainable development has moral support.

It's just that morality also has to fall into reality. It doesn't mean that one can win with the support of morality. The actual situation is often the other way around, and the winner is morality.

…

After communicating with several allies, Iolum hadn't returned yet, and Xia Duo was not impatient. Instead, he left Iolum's study and borrowed a high-standard magic laboratory from the Arcane Union.

He is going to make a prophecy here to see how the Seven Towers will react, which is a preview of the future prophecy of the Illuminati.
