Chapter 1493 Eastern Proverbs, Green Tower Alliance
Setting a relatively clear version for the independent arcane device made everyone's goals clearer, the project was no longer delayed, and Xia Duo was more motivated.
As for the new achievements of the David String project team, they are temporarily sealed as reserve technology, which can be used when the independent arctic fire device is updated in the future.
…
In the evening, Xia Duo went to the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce as scheduled. The venue for this meeting was changed to the Spring Hall. Maybe he felt that the reception was not good last time, so this time Xia Duo was arranged for a dinner as soon as he arrived.
During the dinner, Jenna talked about how she met Horn, and laughed at herself about the misunderstanding: "It turns out that Horn has always thought that I was the daughter of Master Byron for so many years!"
"Then does he intend to become a god in the business field?"
"No, it's just that Kiran Tower has made some adjustments to the affiliated chamber of commerce in order to cope with the new situation of underground war. As you said, once the words are spoken, the misunderstanding will naturally be resolved. But -"
Speaking of this, Jenna paused deliberately, then raised the glass, stared at the slightly trembling wine inside, and said with a hint of resentment:
"However, Horn suggested that I update my personal information at the Austrian Law Federation so that I can no longer hide behind the scenes. Do you think this is a loss or a gain?"
"Of course I made money. The creed of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce is 'honesty is the basis'. There is a similar saying in my hometown, but there is an additional sentence of 'peace is the most important'. Resolving a possible conflict is more important than anything else.
"
Jenna nodded, thoughtfully, while Xia Duo continued: "As for whether to hide behind the scenes, I actually have different opinions on this point?"
"Oh? What do you think?"
"Being behind the scenes can certainly gain first-hand advantages that are difficult to obtain by standing in the foreground, but in my hometown, there is a very famous proverb, which is called 'sitting in a well and watching the sky'!"
"Sitting in a well and observing the sky, wouldn't it mean that you can only see a small area at the mouth of the well?"
"Yes, if you have been hiding behind the scenes, your perspective will also be restricted behind the scenes. As one of the few pioneers in Netheril, if we don't even have the courage to face our opponents head-on, how can we accomplish anything?"
In fact, there is one thing that Xia Duo did not say, that is - if you remain hidden behind the scenes, you may become accustomed to using various conspiracies and clever means to achieve things.
When it comes time to face it head-on, you may wither.
Lu Xun once said, "There is no one in ancient times who can achieve great things through conspiracy." Whether it is the road to spiritual ascension for an individual, or the road to prosperity for an organization or a country, it can be called a big event.
Using tricks.
"What you said makes sense, but I have a question now -"
"What's the problem? President Jenna, please tell me!"
"I have met many Easterners in the past, but they are not as eloquent as you. Can you tell me why?"
"Haha! President Jenna is overthinking it. You can't ask an apprentice who has just come into contact with magic to argue with a mentor with a high reputation, right?"
Xia Duo used the example of apprentice mentor to talk about the status. He actually did not think that whoever has a higher status must have a lower status, but in Netheril, even if they are both apprentices, they will be distinguished.
Come!
When Xia Duo said this, Jenna immediately understood that no matter how eloquent the Oriental people she had met in the past were, if they did not have the same identity as her, they might not be able to say anything, but——
"I am becoming more and more interested in your hometown. I saw the ancient and mysterious 'Eastern Kingdom' mentioned in elven literature before. I always thought it was the imagination of the elves. Now it seems that there is indeed something mysterious about the Eastern Kingdom! Can you and
Can I tell you about your hometown?"
"Of course, if President Jenna wants to hear it, it's just that I am just an ordinary person in my hometown. Many secret things are not accessible to me. I hope President Jenna can understand."
There were a lot of evasive words in Xia Duo's words, but his attitude was sincere and not annoying. Seeing this, Jenna no longer insisted, "Forget it, I hope one day I can travel to the mysterious Eastern country in person."
"You will not be disappointed."
…
In the following time, the two began to chat, ranging from the underground war to the price increase of materials on the surface. It was not until nearly midnight that Xia Duo said goodbye and left.
The next day, the discussion on the new plan for integrating the generation mechanism of the arcane field continued. By noon, during the meal, Chateau and Brod were still having a heated discussion.
Although Iolum rarely spoke during the meal, he listened attentively and occasionally nodded in response. Luo Wei and others also intervened in a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After lunch, Iolum suddenly said: "There is something going on at the Austrian and French Federation this afternoon, so I won't go to the laboratory. You can discuss it first!"
"Teacher, is there anything that the Austrian Law Federation needs you to handle? Can't you leave it to Director Hatcherness?"
"Another great arcanist has been born. Do you want me to go?" Iolum rolled his eyes at Brod and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Xia Duo quickly asked: "Is it President Jenna of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce?"
"Well, I know about Jenna's situation. There is another person this time. He is Director Kabor's brother, Cross from the Southern Green Tower Alliance. He has just submitted the latest information." Iolum explained.
.
"Cross? And Jenna?"
Broder on the side suddenly screamed in surprise. Fortunately, both of them had already made their identities public, otherwise he would probably be the biggest source of leaks.
Iolum didn't blame Brod for making a fuss. He was also surprised by this incident. Forget about Jenna, he already knew it, but Cross was different.
The Southern Green Tower Alliance is an interest alliance headed by the Green Tower, with more than a dozen Mage Tower organizations united, and based on many territories in the south.
In this alliance, there are actually many senior arcanists. The only thing missing is a great arcanist who can become the spokesperson and leader of the alliance.
In the past, the outside world unanimously believed that the person closest to the Grand Arcanist was Lord Hawke, and he did become the Grand Arcanist later on.
But the Green Tower Alliance doesn't think so. They always firmly believe that the next great arcanist must be from within the Green Tower Alliance.
In addition to the fact that the Alliance has many well-known senior Arcanists, a more realistic problem is that the Green Tower Alliance is in great need of a Grand Arcanist.
But unfortunately, the reality is often not as satisfactory as expected.
First it was Lord Hawke, and then Skoum of Giles Tower. Gradually, the outside world's insistence on the Green Tower became more like a joke. To a certain extent, this situation even made it difficult for Iolum. had an impact.
I once thought that the potential of the Green Tower might end here.
Unexpectedly, just a few days after Chateau's identity was made public, Cross submitted an information update. Was this an accidental breakthrough that was expected by the public? Or was it forced to be made public because of the public's expectations?
Iolum prefers the former, but why must it be Cross and not others? Maybe there are other great arcanists hidden in the Green Tower Alliance.
But no matter what, as long as the other party does not make it public, then treat the other party as not existing.
