Hearing Badigal's question, Prince Pasteur twisted his non-existent waist and moved a little outside the seat, then he held the handle of the hammer and said to the great arcanists:
"It's not necessary. With the situation Danzo is currently facing, even if we notify him later, it won't have much impact."
After saying that, Prince Pasteur jumped down from his chair again, walked up to the great arcanists, bowed solemnly, and continued:
"It just so happens that you are all here. I am conveying my father's request to you. I hope that Netheril will give Danzo the necessary treatment in view of the hundreds of years of friendship between the two countries in discussing the Northland Alliance and dealing with drow and other issues.
support and assistance!”
Although Netheril has established diplomatic relations with Danzo for a shorter period of time than Ellan, the relationship between the two countries is much more stable than the relationship with Ellan.
The most important factor is that humans live on the surface, and dwarves live underground or in mountains. There is no conflict between the two sides for survival, and there will not even be any competition in the foreseeable future.
The dwarves need food, wine, and ores from humans, and humans need metals, gems, and weapons from dwarves. The trade between the two parties basically takes what they need, and they can complement each other.
On the contrary, there is a natural competitive relationship between humans and elves in the choice of living place. When one party becomes stronger, it will inevitably compress the living space of the other party.
The relationship between Netheril and Ellan finally went to the point where they seemed to be inseparable and even outwardly discordant. Not only was Netheril giving up elven magic and slapping the elf teacher in the face, but more importantly, Netheril gave birth to separate elves.
The idea of control, and the possibility!
If Erlan continues to support Netheril, he would be really stupid!
Nowadays, Ilfaran firmly stands with Netheril in its attitude towards Cormanthor. At the same time, there is an Ellan between the two countries, and there is no territorial dispute. Therefore, it is with Netheril that
We have entered the honeymoon period, but this is only the moment.
No matter who becomes stronger in the future, they will never be able to treat an ally who may compete with them for territory and benefits like this. Being able to accept them as a vassal and treat them as one with their own people is considered a conscientious one.
Only dwarves are mankind's most ideal allies!
This time Prince Pasteur came to Severington. In addition to discussing matters related to the Northern Alliance and seeking assistance in dealing with the drow problem, he also took the initiative to show goodwill to humans.
While Badigal, Iolum and other great arcanists were thinking, Pasteur spoke again: "When I came here, my father specifically told me that due to the impact of the drow offensive, the number of mithril exports in recent years will be
will be affected.
"In order to compensate for Netheril's losses in this area, Danzo is willing to provide a mithril refining technology suitable for humans.
"In addition, if Netheril needs to renegotiate the Secret Contract of the Three Kingdoms signed by both of us and Erlan, Danzo will also support it!"
Hearing the last sentence, several great arcanists were immediately shocked. They didn't care about the dwarves' mithril refining technology. Not to mention, they had already mastered part of it before, and Ilfaran also provided part of it.
What they really care about is the renegotiation of the Mithril Contract of the Three Kingdoms. This contract was fair and very beneficial to Netheril earlier, but now, it is extremely detrimental to the growing Netheril!
Moreover, the contract lasted for seven hundred years. Only half of this time has passed, and there are still more than two hundred and sixty years before it expires!
However, the cost of breach of contract was too high. Even if the three countries negotiated this contract countless times in the past, in the end, it was only slightly improved, but there was no fundamental change.
The main contents of the contract are——
During the validity period of the contract, all mithril mines discovered in Netheril will be forgotten if they are not mined. Once mined, the ore will need to be sold to the other two countries, and the other two countries will provide Netheril with finished mithril.
The quantity depends on the quantity of ore exported.
At the same time, on the basis of this contract, there are a series of contracts that are very beneficial to Netheril and are difficult to give up to this day.
The reason why the Mithril Contract of the Three Kingdoms is difficult to negotiate is that, in addition to Cormanso's frequent intervention, it is also difficult for the Three Kingdoms themselves to give up their interests.
But now, if Danzo is willing to give up his own interests to fulfill Netheril, there will be no problem. Not to mention Cormanthor's intervention, even Erlan will find it difficult to raise any effective objections.
Of course, it is obvious that Netheril eats meat and Erlan takes a sip of soup. Danzo is the only one who suffers.
But from a more macro perspective, Danzo will also receive more sincere support and assistance from both countries in other aspects.
And this shows how much pressure the drow put on Danzo in the underground world!
…
Several great arcane masters did not reject Danzo's request conveyed by Prince Pasteur, but they also proposed that a new Three Kingdoms Contract need to be renegotiated before the alliance is established.
Before that, Netheril will provide Danzo with the necessary assistance in dealing with the drow issue in advance.
…
And on the other side.
When Xia Duo returned to the residence of the Austrian Law Federation, he still couldn't let go of the unpleasant emotion he just felt in the arena. After talking to Niya, he immediately started to recall his memory.
From leaving the house in the morning to entering the Coliseum, and then to El Carmon announcing the start of the game, the last scene in my memory was fixed on the scene I saw when I passed by the area where the Elfran Elf was when I left:
Apart from the dry, gray-black flesh and blood stains on the light cyan ground, and a small amount of foul-smelling turbid translucent liquid, the thing that impressed him the most was——
On the ground and on the stone seats, there are some faint or visible gray-black patterns everywhere, some are like abstract line drawings of the monster summoned by the drow's self-destruction, and some are mysterious runes with completely unknown meanings.
At this moment, the monster line drawings and mysterious runes in Xia Duo's memory were emitting bursts of gray-black mysterious light. This light made people feel uncomfortable at first sight.
What's more important is that when he was in the arena before, he didn't notice any luminescence in those patterns, not even under magical vision!
In other words, there is no abnormality in normal recall and on-site viewing, but something abnormal occurs during memory retrieval!
Sha Duo had never encountered such a bizarre situation before, and this uncontrollable situation made him a little uneasy.
Then, he sank into his subconscious again and carefully identified the source of that unpleasant emotion. However, after wandering in his subconscious for a long time, he could not find anything unusual.
It's like this emotion arises naturally.
Just as uncontrollable situations make him uneasy, so do the monster line drawings and mysterious runes make him inexplicably unhappy.
But the former can be explained, while the latter has no reason at all.
However, an objectively existing phenomenon cannot have no cause at all. It can only be caused by the incorrect perspective of one’s own observation, understanding, and perception.
Afterwards, Xia Duo continued to concentrate, and continued to concentrate until he sensed the soul.
He believes that those patterns only show visions in memory tracing, and must be related to the soul. Perhaps some abnormalities can be found from the perspective of the soul.
