Chapter 2629 Avoiding War Temporarily Strong Winds
Previous prophecies have shown many future scenarios of all-out war. Xia Duo believes that the current only uncertain factor in the North is the demon race, which may lead to war.
But he still couldn't figure out how to cause the war. Anyway, it was impossible to directly control the leaders of various countries, but with their deep penetration, it might not be impossible to use Netheril to transfer water vapor.
As long as the water vapor migration process is interrupted and it causes a natural disaster, if the intention is more sinister, you can also use spells to increase the destructiveness. In this case, it seems that Netheril has caused public outrage.
It's hard to say that this won't be the trigger for all-out war.
Although even if there is a major accident in the Netheril water vapor migration plan, the current tacit understanding between the countries in the North will not intensify the conflict to that extent, but this will not be able to withstand the devil's instigation.
As long as something happens again in Netheril, even if the two sides want to sit down and talk, they may not be in a good mood.
Due to various considerations, Xia Duo finally decided that the water vapor migration route should not pass through the northern countries. Of course, it is also possible that his current behavior led to a full-scale war.
But there was nothing he could do about it. Prediction spells were not omnipotent and could not be trusted. He could only make relatively more reasonable decisions based on the currently known information.
If this decision ultimately leads to unfavorable consequences, it can only be said that the occurrence of such consequences is far beyond Xia Duo's control.
War is bound to be the product of conflicts that are intensified to the point of being difficult to reconcile. It has little to do with a specific matter. If you want to avoid war, you must try your best to reconcile the relationships, or interests, between the countries in the Northern Alliance.
.
As long as the benefits of cooperation are greater than the benefits of war, there is a high probability that war will not start.
The current situation is actually like this, but there is an additional element of uncertainty about the devil. As long as all countries maintain close communication, enhance mutual trust, and properly handle differences, there will be no major miscalculations or war.
The Demon Intelligence Research Laboratory jointly established by various countries has made a good start, and it will be enough to continue to deepen exchanges. This is actually what Xia Duo hopes to see.
…
After talking to Tarafu, Shado continued his previous research on the automation of spirits, while also waiting for news from Severton.
No matter what the outcome of the negotiations between Seven Towers and the South is, the water vapor migration plan itself will not change. It is nothing more than where to move the water vapor.
However, if the negotiation fails and the water vapor is moved to the Narrow Sea or the North Pole, Chateau will only remember the Mairead family's favor.
Xia Duo does not shy away from owed favors to others. As long as he is able to repay and adheres to the bottom line, then this is a normal relationship. Just one or two favors are not enough to exchange for Mythra from him.
If Calimshan is really willing to pay a huge price, it is actually not impossible to sell Mythra to them, for example, to come up with a habitable plane, or a more advanced method of plane exploration.
Or, Xia Duo considers the ethereal navigation technology to be strategic-level resources or technologies.
Others, such as elemental breeding, are also important enough, but they are not very strategic. The main reason is that the threshold is not high enough and it needs to be coordinated with the automation of the essence.
As for the Jingso Automation, Calimshan itself has not yet matured, and Shado has now begun related research, and it is a universal version that is more suitable for the Nese magic system. The two parties can be said to be on the same starting line.
It's just that Calimshan ran a few steps ahead of schedule, and the qualitative gap has not yet opened up.
…
Just as Shado entered the laboratory to continue the previously interrupted research, Calimshan had already left the floating city and returned to the Yunding Palace parked high in the south of Daxia Territory.
In the conversation just now, Shado talked to him about the dilemma of the floating city, and Taraf said that he could solve it himself. It happened that the preparations for the water vapor migration plan in Netheril could also start in advance.
The two are actually the same thing.
Soon, Talaf drove Wind Lord Rohasi to move eastward, stopping almost fifteen miles southeast of the Great Xia Territory.
Then, under the command of Tarafu, the wind lord Rohasi spread the area little by little, bringing the wind elements in a larger area around him under his control.
Of course, in this process, the clouds of matter are also brought under control.
After a while, a hurricane that was still growing was formed. Almost at the same time, the casual crowd in the Daxia Code Square observed the elemental phenomena produced after the sky was annihilated by the [Light of Annihilation], and began to change from disorder to chaos.
Gotta be in order.
It was as if a powerful force was attracting them little by little from the southeast. Soon, an unknown wind blew in the square, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger.
Finally, some people couldn't stay any longer, especially some women who were worried about drying clothes at home. They ran home one by one, killing the people around them while running -
"It's windy, I feel like putting on my clothes!"
It was not just about collecting clothes. After receiving the news about the strong wind, Leiden immediately realized a bigger problem. Most of the houses used to temporarily house the new territorial residents were prefabricated wooden houses created during the earliest territorial development.
The biggest feature of this kind of wooden house is that it is easy to manufacture and assemble, but its shortcomings are also obvious. The foundation connected to the ground is not strong, and it is almost only fixed to the ground by four wooden piles.
And because the early technology was relatively backward, the wooden houses themselves were not strong enough. Later, after the territory's brick-making workshops expanded, many people began to think about brick houses, especially those who had been granted land.
Now that there is a sudden strong wind, there is probably nothing to worry about in a brick house. At most, a few tiles may be blown off. The house itself is strong enough.
But those temporary resettlement houses are not so lucky. The strong wind may not blow for long, and maybe even the house and the occupants will be blown away in the night.
At this moment, Xia Duo walked out of the laboratory again. It's not that he expected this kind of scene in advance. Although he had expected it before, he didn't expect the movement to be so big. After all, when Tarafu demonstrated before, it was just a demonstration.
, it is impossible to completely simulate it.
He only knew the seriousness of this matter when he received news from Savile. Previously, Savile was entrusted by him to help monitor the atmospheric conditions around Daxia Territory.
Now this is obviously an abnormal situation, and the strong wind caused by the Wind Lord is enough to adversely affect the Great Xia Territory.
Xia Duo immediately left the floating city and first went around the territory on the ground. The wind speed on the ground was now ridiculously strong. He himself felt like a fish in water in such an environment, but other people in the territory felt very uncomfortable.
It was almost unsteady to even walk normally.
This situation is not only for ordinary people, but also for mages, unless there is a targeted wind protection spell, but not every mage has this spell.
Especially new mages, who usually have so many things to do, how can they have so much time to learn such an obscure spell.
