Yin Olem's words temporarily had a certain effect, and the venue quickly became quiet. After all, this joint meeting of Grand Arcanists was convened in his name, but if the Seven Towers never come, no matter how patient you are,
It will also be wasted.
Xia Duo saw this situation and was anxious in his heart, but he also believed that since Yin Olem had convened a meeting, there must be a way to get the people from the Seven Towers to come.
Even if only one person comes, it can mean that the Seven Towers are "forced" to accept the resolution of the meeting. If nothing else, the person who can break the situation should be Randall.
With this in mind, Xia Duo gradually calmed down. Although no one spoke at the meeting, the vibrations of the magic network caused by the communication spell were becoming more frequent. Even Xia Duo himself was in contact with many others.
Almost a quarter of an hour later, Randall, wearing a plain robe, appeared at the venue, which caused a commotion in the venue, but it soon subsided.
Everyone knows that Randall's appearance at least means that today's meeting will not end in vain. Now it depends on whether the other members of the Seven Towers will come.
After Randall arrived, he just nodded to everyone and then sat in his seat without talking to the people around him. However, many people, including Chateau, were guessing what Randall's coming alone meant.
Xia Duo felt that it would be best for the Seven Towers to be divided, so that the resistance would be greatly reduced when the Seventon Covenant was rebuilt in the future. Of course, this kind of thing is okay if you think about it, but it is still very difficult to actually achieve it. The interests between the Seven Towers
It's hard to break up the entanglement.
At least they won't break up suddenly today or tomorrow.
…
After waiting quietly for a while, Xia Duo saw that Yin Olem had not yet announced the start of the meeting, and guessed that other people from the Seven Towers might also come.
The result was as he expected. Almost half an hour after Randall arrived, the second Grand Arcanist from the Seven Towers appeared. As expected, the second one to come was Badigal.
"Sorry everyone, I'm a little late."
After Badigal finished speaking, the remaining five great arcanists from the Seven Towers all arrived and took their seats. At this time, Yin Orem finally announced that the meeting had begun.
As for the directors of the Austrian Law Federation who belong to the Seven Towers have not come yet, it will have no impact. Yin Olum's quiet voice echoed in the venue——
"Everyone, now that everyone is here, let's get started. I believe you have received the news before today. What we are going to discuss today is whether to accept the return of the descendants of the alien pioneers of Netheril to the main body.
It’s a matter of plane.”
"be opposed to."
Before Yin Orem could introduce the specific background of the incident, Skum was the first to jump out and express his objection. However, he was not opposed to whether the descendants of the alien pioneers would return, but to the fact that the matter was placed here.
discuss.
"In the past, Netheril's development of the alien plane was strictly speaking, the Seven Towers opened up the alien plane. Whether to accept the alien plane pioneers' return to the main plane should be handled by the Seven Towers themselves, rather than being left here for everyone's entertainment.
"
Although Shado had strong objections to Skum, he had to admit that the other party had found a good entry point. The question he raised was actually aimed at the procedural issues of the Grand Arcanist Joint Meeting.
In principle, the Joint Council of Grand Arcanists serves as a supplement to the Sewington Council, and the principle respected by the Sevington Council is territorial independence.
Although the Seven Towers are not one or seven territories, they are also a combination of multiple territories and should enjoy the right to be independent in their internal affairs.
And the most important thing is that the Seven Towers were indeed responsible for the original discovery and development of the alien plane. The current Seven Towers and the Seven Towers back then are just a different combination of territories, but it is not the same as back then.
The territory has been passed down within the Seven Towers Group to this day.
In other words, there is no need to bring this issue to the Joint Meeting of Grand Arcanists for discussion, or even to the Seventon Council. The Seven Towers have every right to handle it on their own.
Of course, Sha Duo had already made plans in his mind for the procedural issues raised by Skum and thought of a countermeasure. He glanced at Yin Olem and saw that the other person's face was still calm, so he knew that this was not beyond the opponent's preparation range.
.
"Everyone, Skoum raised an objection. Before answering this question, considering that there are still many people who don't know much about the history of Netheril's development of alien planes, I need to introduce it to you first.
.”
Then Yin Orem began to talk about history, starting from the discovery of the Netherese Scroll, the original Netherese mages' decision to give up elven magic, and the pressure that Netheril faced from all sides.
Later, we talked about the discovery of habitable planes, focusing on the fact that all the Nese mages had always agreed to open up the alien plane, and had the support of almost all the Nese people, either intentionally or unintentionally.
In addition, Yin Orem also specifically introduced the situation of the Seven Towers at that time. It was not composed of some spellcasters in Netheril as it is now, but all the mages in Netheril were in the Seven Towers at that time.
"So, my answer to Skoum's objection is - the Seven Towers at that time represented the entire Netheril, or everyone here now can trace the history of their ancestors at that time.
The Seven Towers find the source.”
Yin Orem's meaning is obvious. He does not deny that the Seven Towers have the right to decide whether to accept the descendants of the alien pioneers to return to the main plane, but other territories outside the Seven Towers also have the right to decide.
In other words, there is no problem in discussing this issue in the Grand Arcanist Joint Meeting or the Severnton Council.
…
Of course, the Seven Towers are definitely not willing to admit defeat so easily. Next, Skoum starts from the basic fact that those pioneering planes have been managed and assisted by the Seven Towers for hundreds of years, and believes that other territories have become independent over the past hundreds of years.
He has voluntarily given up the control rights to develop the plane.
This is actually a basic principle mentioned in the Covenant of Sevington, that is, as long as someone actually occupies a piece of land for a certain period of time, it can be considered to be legally occupied by that person.
Previously, Lord Rodney established a stronghold in the Green Pearl Forest in the south under the control of Vader, based on this article in the Seventon Covenant.
Although under the generally recognized unspoken rules, the Green Pearl Forest, which has been cleared for a long time, should belong to the Savile Territory, but because it has not been actually occupied, it is still an unspoken rule. Once someone actually develops it, it will be brought to the table.
The Saville Territory is actually unreasonable.
Sha Duo had actually had such worries before. Fortunately, the unspoken rules existed for a reason. After he became the Grand Arcanist, subsequent pioneers tacitly agreed not to explore south of Lake Macht.
Of course, if someone really did this, it would be difficult for Xia Duo to refuse legally.
The point Scoum is raising now is to refute the historical origin theory proposed by Yin Olum, pointing out that the actual occupation state under non-conflict conditions can better represent ownership and jurisdiction.
To put it in layman’s terms, it’s been hundreds of years. If you wanted to take care of this matter, you would have taken care of it a long time ago. Doesn’t it mean that if you don’t take care of it, you will default to the Seven Towers?
