Neither Chateau nor Leiden told anyone about the appearance of the Lord of Glory yesterday. Strictly speaking, this was already a miracle and should be widely publicized.
But in this miracle, Leiden did not get any benefits. Instead, he was deprived of the holy power. Speaking of it would only attract unnecessary prejudice, and he would get nothing else.
As for Xia Duo, he didn't want other people to know about this experience of talking to God, so as not to cause trouble.
After this incident, the territory remained as usual, and he returned to Severington to continue his previous local simulation test experiments of the arcane fire device based on new materials.
Because he was delayed for two days in returning to the southern border, he had to hurry up to make up for it, otherwise it might affect the progress of the entire project.
…
Just as Shado was immersed in work, far away in Cormanthor, the elven mages of the Faro organization once again gathered at the Elf Court.
However, this time they did not come for the Omniscient Ceremony, but received a notification from Farrow, the leader of the organizer, saying that there was a new oracle.
The Elf Court in late autumn is still as green as spring and summer, and even the breeze caused by the swinging branches carries the warmth that is unique to spring and summer.
Since some elves had not yet arrived, Hildalanna, who arrived first, found a piece of grass to sit on the edge of the village. Not far away, there was an elf elder basking in the sun.
Although the environment here is still the same, the atmosphere is not as good as before. After the establishment of the Northland Alliance, most of the elven elders chose to return to their homeland to shine again instead of staying here to "wait to die".
Hildalanna had not long ago attended the welcome banquet of two elf elders in Tevimansa. She thought that this land of elves, which was supposed to be a permanent neutral land, might soon be completely included by Cormanthor.
Management, and there will no longer be any gaps in the Cormanso Mystery Lock, Hildalanna has a faint, lingering feeling of discomfort in her heart.
At this moment, a clear female voice came from behind and said, "Hildalanna, can I sit here?"
Hildalanna looked back, frowned, but still nodded gracefully, "Of course, Master Villanse, feel free to sit down!"
She recognized the person who came here, Villanse, one of the youngest high mages of Cormanthor, but he was from a humble background and had an open style, so his reputation in the circle was not good.
If it were in the past, Hildalanna would not even have the thought of looking at the other person, but as she became more and more familiar with the rules of getting along with high mages, she could still say a few words to the other person calmly.
"Villanse, just say what you want to say!"
Villanse heard Hildalanna's alienation, but was not moved. Instead, he sat down leisurely and said meaningfully: "I heard that you have a good relationship with Netheril?"
Upon hearing this, Hildalanna's breathing paused for a moment, her expression became a little unhappy, and her tone was not as easy-going as before, but became sharp:
"The Moonhorn family has a long history with Netheril, so naturally they have a good relationship. Villanse, what exactly do you want to say?"
Now that the Northern Alliance has been established, the views within the elven kingdoms about other countries have also changed a lot, especially towards regional powers like Netheril.
Maintaining a positive attitude has become a tacit and commonly maintained political correctness.
In addition, the Moonhorn family itself has huge trade relations with Netheril. Even if Hildalanna knew what Valanthe wanted to hear, she would not follow what the other party said.
Not all high mages get along well with each other, not to mention that she and Villanse belong to two countries!
"Hildalanna, don't be angry, it's not what you think."
Villanse explained sincerely: "My relationship with Netheril was somewhat tense because of something. Cormanthor just signed an open trade agreement with Netheril not long ago. Although there is no written record, I
The family was specifically excluded."
After saying that, he looked at Hildalanna expectantly, but this time Hildalanna was unmoved. What did the other party want to do?
Pretending to cover it up? Or do you want her to help mediate the matter with just one sentence?
As for the open trade agreement just signed between Cormanthor and Netheril, Hildalanna was a little surprised. This is actually an agreement within the framework of the Northland Alliance. It will definitely be signed, but when will it be signed and what are the specific conditions?
, all need to be negotiated and decided by the parties to the agreement.
She originally thought that with the relationship between Netheril and Cormanthor, the agreement would drag on for at least ten years, but she didn't expect that it had already been signed.
On the other hand, Erlan, because many high-ranking families have a pretty good relationship with Netheril, even though there was some discord between the two parties before, they still managed to maintain it.
But now, these upper-class families have become opponents of the open trade agreement. Without open trade, the benefits of trade will naturally be monopolized by them.
Of course, Hildalanna can think about this matter so peacefully because the Moon Horn family is one of them.
However, Hildalanna also knew that this matter could not be delayed for too long.
Regarding the domestic situation, they are sure to oppose it to the end, but in an external environment like the Northern Alliance, if Erlan behaves too differently, it may shake the confidence of the vassals, and they may turn to other regional powers.
At least, she had heard that Irfaran seemed to be in contact with Sruvind, but no further news had been received yet.
And Sruvinder has always been very obedient, so it did not cause much reaction from Tevimansa.
…
"Villanse, why didn't you ask Mr. Farro for help? Instead, you came to me? Or maybe you simply turned to King Ilithel. I believe Netheril won't be too stubborn if they come forward, right?"
"them?"
Villanse forced out a smile and said helplessly: "They would rather get the 'understanding' of the Netherese people, so they will ignore my request!"
"What's going on?" Hildalanna asked curiously.
As far as she knows, even families that have participated in the hunting of human elites will not be liquidated separately as long as they are retaliated by the Nese people's revenge actions.
Farrow's Mooncrown family is the most obvious example. The Mooncrown family, which was once very keen on hunting down human geniuses, was not able to interact with Netheril normally after being retaliated by the Netherese people's revenge actions?
So what happened to Villanse?
At this point, Villanse had to tell an old story. In short, it was that there was a conflict between the Stardew family of Cormanthor and the Savile Territory, and the relationship between Villanse and the Stardew family also changed.
not too good.
Therefore, Farrow planned to have the surviving members of the Stardew family escape to Sevington, bringing some information to Sevington that might be useful in the future.
In order to make the performance more realistic, Valanthe, who had become a villain, had to meet the target of the Stardew family - Princess Shia of Netheril who had successfully ascended to the gods.
In this situation, Villanse guessed that either Princess Shia was making things difficult for her, or the survivors of the Stardew family who were still in Severington were causing trouble.
