There are many types of power, among which the right of definition should be regarded as the most core part. The current dispute among the countries in the North over the definition of some prerequisite concepts that restrict war magic is essentially a struggle for independent power.
Xia Duo saw it and was participating in it, but he was not optimistic about the final result, or it was not exactly what he thought. To reach an agreement, all parties must make compromises.
It is conceivable that large countries with various advantages will never make too many concessions on core issues. In the end, small countries will end up with greater compromises.
Now let's see who can't stand it first.
Of course, the reason why Xia Duo returned to the Floating City was not only because the current situation was clear, but the final result still had to be compromised by all parties, but also because the infrastructure construction of the Floating City had reached a critical moment.
And in order to cope with future crises, he has already prepared to build a time acceleration area and an inspiration room on the floating city. Both of these things are difficult to do without others.
Especially the latter, when it comes to his copy of consciousness, even Niya, he doesn't want the other party to get too involved, and the former also has extremely high requirements on the material carrier of the spell because it involves time.
Even Savile can only do auxiliary work, and others can do even less. Most of the work still needs to be done by Chateau himself.
In addition, there is the promotion assessment of the Tower of Time, which takes place once a month. Although Xia Duo does not need to be present in person, it is of extraordinary significance if he can be present in person.
Chateau has almost never been absent before, and this time is certainly no exception.
…
Floating City, Public Area, Hengchun Plaza.
On this day, Xia Duo called all the members of the Tower of Time's high-level mages and above, the five-person committee of the Institute, and the chief officers of various departments in the territory, including Leiden, to come here to announce a major event -
—
"Everyone, it's been a while since the Floating City was built. We can't keep calling it 'Flying City'. It's time to give it a formal name! I want to hear everyone's opinions!"
Upon hearing this, Niya immediately beamed with joy, "I have had this idea for a long time, but you never asked, and I was too embarrassed to say it."
"Then what name do you want to give this floating city?"
"What do you think about calling it [Blue Sky Conqueror]? This is a miraculous creation that not even the elves can build!"
Niya said a name as if she was claiming credit, but Xia Duo felt full of trouble when he heard it. Of course it was not unreasonable to put such an arrogant name on a certain weapon, but if it was used on a civilian facility, it would be somewhat unreasonable.
Too much.
"Too high-profile, change it to another one!"
Not only Niya, Xia Duo also put forward restrictions on others, "This name needs to be used for a long time. Try not to use words that are too high-profile or too extreme, otherwise you will not be able to bear to look at it in the future."
"Lord, why don't we just call it 'Daxia', which corresponds to the Daxia territory on the ground."
It was Leiden who said this. In his opinion, the floating city is not only a new space for living and living, but also the embodiment of the order of Daxia. There is nothing wrong with calling it "Daxia".
But Xia Duo still shook his head, "If nothing else happens, this floating city should not be the only floating city in Daxia Territory. There should be more perfect ones in the future. Will we have to give up this name to the next one by then?
?
"Just think of this as an ordinary city. As long as it has a little meaning and can be used, this city may become a very inconspicuous city in the future!"
Of course, this is not because Xia Duo is pretending to be modest, but he does have a lot of dissatisfaction with this floating city. Even if he is very satisfied, things are always in a state of development, and there will definitely be better things in the future.
Of course, under the current situation where there is only one floating city, this floating city still has extraordinary significance.
"City of Glory?"
"The name is too big and too high-profile."
"Is that called the City of Peace?"
"The elves already have one, so it would be inappropriate for us to call it this, and it would also give people the feeling of being a crude imitation."
"A city of peace?"
"This is okay. Although it is a bit common, it can be used as an alternative. Write it down and talk about the others first."
"City of Order?"
"How dare you say that with this name, you won't be afraid of fanatic believers in the Lord of Glory coming to cause trouble every day?"
The other names of the Kingdom of Glory are "City of Order", "Eternal City" and "City of Law". Calling this name in the mortal world is really a big deal. Maybe the Lord of Glory doesn't care, but there are always people who care.
Fanatic believer.
Besides, when you talk about order, others may not agree with it. Of course, Xia Duo would not give such a controversial name to the floating city.
"This won't work, that won't work, then just name it after you. How simple! If there is another floating city in the future, you can use Niya's name. If there are more, you can have more children. Don't worry about not having enough.
!”
Although Sha Duo has always presented an approachable image, making fun of him and Niya in this way is definitely something that ordinary people would not be able to do. Only an old guy like Savile, who has achieved several levels in his generation, would say such a thing.
Of course, if Niya's father were here, he might say the same thing, oh, this has been passed down!
In fact, Xia Duo does not object to being named after a person, but he does not want to be named after a living person. No matter what, there is a saying in his hometown called "the coffin is sealed". Unless a person dies, he will do anything in the future.
unpredictable.
How authoritative it would be to come up with shovel quotations and shovel inscriptions that appeared in his hometown!
As for why he himself can't do it, of course he doesn't want to be overly deified. It won't be a problem for a while. If it continues like this, it will inevitably affect his judgment.
Of course, guarding against the slightest is not just talk, but practice.
Chateau categorically rejected Savile's proposal without any hesitation. After that, he no longer asked in general terms, but named them one by one, asking each of them to come up with at least one name.
This way the efficiency is much higher.
Things like "City in the Sky" and "City of Miracles" are considered normal, but there are still people who are so imaginative that they call it "City of Magic Mechanics".
However, although this name does not sound very pleasant, it actually reflects some of the profound essence of the Great Xia Territory and the Floating City. It can be said to have touched some of Xia Duo's thoughts, and he included it among his options.
"Is there any new name? If not, then choose one between [City of Anju] or [City of Magical Mechanics]!"
"These two names are too common. If you really have no choice, why not call it [Chang'an]!"
It was Niya who spoke, and the most important thing was that she said the last "Chang'an" in Chinese. This made Xia Duo suddenly realize that there were so many names with beautiful meanings and low-key names in his hometown for him to choose from, and he chose the name from his hometown.
A name is a continuation of civilization and is of great significance.
The reason why Niya chose [Chang'an] first also illustrates the special status of Chang'an in the context of Chinese characters. It is also the most authentic expression of Xia Duo's innermost feelings when teaching Niya Chinese.
It's just that Xia Duo understands this Chinese name, and Niya who has been taught by him can understand it, but others have no idea at all.
But before Xia Duo could speak, Niya began to explain: "[Chang'an] comes from the language of Xia Duo's hometown, which means long-term peace and stability. It is the best blessing for a country. I think it should be used for the first building.
A city built entirely by magic is very meaningful!"
