Chapter 1964 Break the filter and pay the fine in advance
It is not difficult to surpass the elves in strength, but it is not so easy to surpass the elves in thought and spirit.
It can be said that the reason why Netheril can appear is inseparable from the elves.
For a long time, in the eyes of the vast majority of Netherese people, elves have always been cast as gods. They are powerful, wise, noble, even enlightened, and outstanding. All positive descriptions can be used for elves.
If these positive "tinted glasses" are looking at one's own people, that's fine, but if they are looking at potential strong competitors, that's not good.
In spirit, he is naturally inferior to the dwarves. This is not something a normal civilization should do!
Xia Duo wants to break the deification filter of the elves and let the people know that the elves are just another kind of human beings with different appearances from them, and they are also mortal objects, not some superior and perfect race.
What elves can do, humans can do too; what elves can’t do, humans can do too!
A correct understanding of the nature of elves and the relationship between humans and elves is the basis for future magical civilization to not lag behind the elves both ideologically and spiritually.
Xia Duo has been making efforts in this area. In addition to holding various exhibitions in the territory, the people in the territory are familiar with the daily life of elves.
The elves of the Silverleaf family who have settled in Savile Town are often invited to the territory to participate in various activities held by the Government Affairs Office, which are actually for the people of the territory to see.
When the Cormanthor refugees poured into the Savil Territory at the beginning of the Drow War, many Savil people saw it, but the people in the Bactria Territory did not experience it. Although they had heard about it, they had not seen it with their own eyes.
thing.
If he could bring back a group of elf refugees, and they were the legendary golden elves, Xia Duo could almost imagine the shock of the people in the territory.
If this kind of thing happens more often, coupled with repeated publicity about the true situation of elf society, it will be just around the corner to break the filter in the hearts of the people!
…
But since Hechenis has clearly mentioned that the Severnton Council does not allow the Sluvend elves to leave Severnton, Shado has temporarily calmed down.
After all, accepting refugees involves both Sluvender and Yeerlan, which is still somewhat sensitive.
If everything goes well on Yin Olum's side, Shado may not be able to encounter a group of elf refugees in need of shelter when he drives the floating city equipped with strategic weapons to Sluwende!
We don't need a few now, so it would be more convenient to meet them by chance.
Therefore, Xia Duo did not continue on the topic of elf refugees, and instead asked about the situation at Sluvende:
"Director Hatcherness, you just said that some of the Sluvender refugees in Severton are real refugees. Does that mean there has been a fight there?"
"The fight hasn't really started yet, but the troops sent by Erlan are already taking over Sluvend's city!" Hechenis replied.
"Can you still escape under such circumstances?" Xia Duo asked again.
"Through the descriptions of those refugees, we learned that the Yerlan army did not impose restrictions on civilians, or even spellcasters. In fact, Lord Shado should have noticed that the word I just said was 'receive', not 'occupy'
!”
"take over?"
If Hechenis had not reminded him, Xia Duo would not have noticed this detail for a while. He would have just thought that Yeerlan's offensive was going very smoothly!
Now, hearing what Hechenis means, it seems that there is no resistance at all in Sluvend?
In those "accepted" cities of Sluvende, the lives of civilians and even spellcasters are no different from the past, except that the nationality at the top has been changed.
After thinking for a while, Shado asked again: "Based on Director Hechenis's judgment, can Sruvend survive this time?"
"It's hard to say. There hasn't been any news from the Northland Alliance yet. If all countries agree to Sluvende's invitation to jointly develop the ancient fortress, it will definitely have an impact on this war that can't be called a war. If all countries don't
If you react, Nasruvind will probably be dead this time!"
Upon hearing this, Shado frowned subconsciously. He didn't care whether Sluvende was there or not. What he cared about was the first national annihilation incident within the Northland Alliance. This would be a bad start.
It will even make the Northland Alliance exist in name only, and the Northland will return to its original state of confrontation.
This is not a good thing for the rising Netheril, nor is it a good thing for the budding magical civilization.
Thinking of this, Shado couldn't help but raise his own doubts: "Did Ye Erlan ignore the Northland Alliance's charter? What did the Seven Towers say? Did Cormanthor intentionally interfere in this matter by placing Sluvender in Severton?"
"The Seven Towers will not express their position for the time being, let alone take the initiative to intervene, and the same is true for Danzuo. Only Yin Erfalang and Cormanso seem to be trying to do something. I don't know the details yet. Maybe they will receive it soon.
News."
After the interrogation was over, Hechenis, who was supposed to wait for Chateau to ask further questions or end the conversation, suddenly thought of something, and then sent another message——
"By the way, Ye'erlan has already paid a large amount of super-magic fines to the Northland Alliance in advance!"
"..."
Except for the Seven Towers, which were somewhat beyond Xia Duo's expectations, the attitudes of the other major powers in the Northern Alliance were quite different from what he had initially expected.
Danzuo is an underground dwarf country, and it doesn't care much about surface affairs. Unless it goes to the Dark Territory this time, Danzuo will not be biased towards any party.
Yin'erfarang and Yerlan are close neighbors. Some time ago, a large-scale avalanche suddenly broke out in the World's Crest Mountains north of Yin'erfarang, and then the crazy orcs started the orc tide in advance.
If this matter has anything to do with Ye Erlan, Xia Duo would not believe it even to death, not to mention that Sluvende's existence itself is a kind of constraint on Ye Erlan.
Yin Erfa Lang should not let Ye Erlan eliminate surrounding hidden dangers so easily!
As for Cormanthor, there is still a huge Netheril between it and Erlan. If you really want to intervene, it may be beyond your reach, but as the most powerful country in the Northern Alliance, it is probably not appropriate to be a troublemaker.
hard.
And this is also in Cormanthor's interest, at least until he unifies the Listal Forest, to minimize the integration of external elven forces.
From Cormanthor's point of view, it would be best if all the external forces fell apart, and only waited for the prophesied only true king of the elven world to unify the Star Forest and then recover the outside one by one.
As for the "Yerlan paid the super-magic fine to the Northland Alliance in advance" that Hechennis specifically mentioned, it never appeared in Shado's expectation.
But Ye Erlan is willing to pay the fine, which at least shows that they are still willing to respect the order of the Northland Alliance. Perhaps they also want to use this method to remind the other major countries——
First, I'm serious this time, so don't interfere with me; second, I've already paid the super magic fine, so just pretend you didn't see it, and you can play like this in the future.
As for whether destroying the country would violate the Northland Alliance's charter.
After learning that Ye Erlan was willing to pay the super-demon fine, Shado speculated that although Ye Erlan was playing it real this time, he should still retain the name of Sluvende and treat it as a pure puppet.
In other words, countries that only exist on relevant documents!
