Chapter 1357 Messengers from the Four Kingdoms, Change of Attitude
As for the envoys from the four southern countries, they were arranged on the other side of Irfalan, and there were no special divisions. There, Shado met humans outside the Northland for the first time.
Among the four envoys, the middle-aged man with a resolute expression and an unsmiling look was wearing armor and had an unsheathed translucent sword hanging from his waist. If nothing else, he should be the psychic master from Zhamdas.
The moment Xia Duo's eyes fell on the other person, the other person immediately turned around and looked at him. With just one glance, Xia Duo felt an indescribable sense of oppression.
It is similar to the intimidating aura of dragons and demons, but different. As for the difference, Xia Duo couldn't think of it for a while. He just nodded slightly in greeting and then looked away.
Another human messenger gave Xia Duo a much better impression.
His messy hair is windless and has an elegant temperament. There are several blue lines on his face that are either deliberately tattooed or naturally present, which add a lot of mystery to him.
Like the psychic master of Zhamdas, the other party also noticed Shado's gaze almost instantly. The difference was——
This Calimshan bloodline sorcerer seemed to have sensed Shado's wind-related bloodline qualities. While showing a friendly expression, he also stirred up a wispy wave of air and shot toward Shado.
The moment it hit the breeze barrier on Xia Duo's body, he parsed out a gentle and friendly voice and greeted:
"My arcanist friends from Netheril, you must come to Calimshan if you have the chance. The Maired family will not let you down."
Shado was surprised by the operation of the Calimshan envoy. The sound wave of the message was quite standardized, but it was indeed inspired by the bloodline ability.
It seems that the Calishans have developed their bloodline to such an extent that they have long since broken away from the shackles of bloodline instinct and become a special bloodline magic system.
For a time, Shado had a very strong interest in the country of Calimshan, and he really took the invitation from the Calimshan envoy to his heart.
When the floating city is built, maybe the first stop can be to go to Calimshan.
…
The identities of the other two envoys from the Four Southern Kingdoms, an elf and a dwarf, may not be simple either, but the identities of the humans in Xia Duo may be destined to be different from them.
It is said that the dwarf kingdoms in the north, such as Danzo and Amarinda, originally originated from Sanata in the south. They only fled to the north to avoid the continuous wars in the south.
To a certain extent, today's Sannata may still have quite a strong influence on the dwarf countries in the north.
On the other hand, Katemir's influence on the northern elven kingdoms may be minimal.
Not to mention small countries, large countries such as Cormanthor claimed to inherit Arivanda's unfinished business and unify the elven world, and Ellan was built on Arivanda's homeland.
Ilfaran, like Katemir, survived the Crown War. Although the surviving strength is high or low, the morale is not necessarily high or low.
Elfaran doesn't like Arifandar itself, but he doesn't necessarily reject Arifandar's concept of unity. This can be deduced from the concentration of power that has begun to appear in Elfaran.
Under such circumstances, who would be willing to be at the mercy of Kate Mill?
The Northland Alliance's covenant oath includes content such as "maintaining independence" and "opposing interference from external forces." There may be disagreements among the alliance member states, but in the face of interference from external forces, their attitudes are still very consistent.
Without the opportunity of the Drow War, the North might spontaneously form an alliance in the future to deal with possible intrusions from the South.
Of course, it may also be to deal with the threat of the floating city in Netheril.
But now, everyone has come together, and with the political wisdom of the Seven Towers, they should not be able to make the whole world an enemy after the floating city appears.
However, we still need to think twice before opening up Miseron nuclear technology, lest we trust someone else and drag the whole country into trouble by one person, which would not be fun.
Nowadays, Shado has regarded Netheril as the basis for his social practice, and is naturally very disgusted with things that are outside the rules.
…
As noon approached, there were already more and more spectators in Dawn Square, of course mainly elves, and just by observing the expressions of the elves, Xia Duo could tell which country the elf came from.
Cormanthor elves, whether they are gold elves or moon elves, always look at humans with unfriendly eyes; Erlan, secondly, is close but also a little distant.
The ones with the best human attitudes are the Cormanthor elves. Although they are all golden elves, at least most of them have not yet been influenced by the ideas of Great Elfism.
When looking at humans, especially the Netherese, there is a sense of friendship and comradeship in the fight against the remnants of Arivandar.
As one of the few humans in the square, Shado suffered the gaze of too many elves behind him. Occasionally, when he looked back, the Elfaran elves would look at him in a friendly manner.
The Ellan Ellan moved away from his sight without any trace, while only the Cormanthor Elf would continue to stare at him without fear or even viciously.
As for the elves from the small country, except for Evereska, they almost rarely appear here. Without close communication and contact, Shado cannot deliberately distinguish them.
But overall, the harmony of the atmosphere in Dawn Square has exceeded his expectations. At least the Elfaran elves and Cormanthor elves present did not break out any substantive conflict.
At most, they were just hostile to each other and taunting each other. Even if no one stopped them, they didn't rush into a fight. Unlike last year's snow melting competition, if no one stopped them, they would be beaten to death in the audience.
Shado felt that the change in the attitude of the people of Elfaran towards Cormanthor may be due to the establishment of the Northland Alliance, but it is more likely that they were deliberately shaped by their officials to pave the way for the subsequent promotion of the concept of unifying the elven world.
It's hard to say whether it is the unified concept of the Great (Golden) Elfism or the unified concept of the five races' co-prosperity.
Cormanthor is nominally a legal system for the co-prosperity of the five races, but in fact it follows the "Great Elfism Line". Almost all the people in Ilfaran are golden elves. In theory, it may be more appropriate to follow the Great Elfism Line.
But the reality is that Great Elfism has almost no audience in Elfaran, and the people of Elfaran hate Arifandar, who is also a golden elf.
But if we follow the path of co-prosperity of the five races, with the current situation of almost all golden elves in Irfaran, how can we make other elves trust others who already have prejudices against golden elves in other countries?
In other words, outside of Elfaran, the elven countries have almost acquiesced that the golden elves are superior to other elves, and they are all inferior elves. As long as they can live their lives, why do they need to change their masters?
