After understanding the basic background of the various chambers of commerce in the Dia Business Group, especially the Xinnong Chamber of Commerce where Eli is located, Sha Duo is actually inclined to cooperate with them.
Although he has now become the person in charge of the alliance's public computing resource pool project and has a large say in related matters, not everything can be decided by him alone.
At least, when it comes to the establishment of branch networks in various countries, he can set standards and check and accept them afterwards, but it is difficult to intervene directly. Basically, it still has to be left to relevant personnel in each country.
Xia Duo has a good impression of Mai Yeli Tower, and also towards Uweilun. The Sinon Chamber of Commerce and even the entire Tia Business Group can at least have some relationship with Mai Yeli Tower and Uweilun.
Naturally, I inherited this good impression.
Those specific construction projects are not given to anyone. Since the Tiya business group has taken the initiative to come to cooperate, what reason does Xia Duo have to refuse?
As for other chambers of commerce that have visited him recently, they have also mentioned cooperation, but they are limited to the construction of public computing resource pools. Such cooperation is not called cooperation, but rather begging for food.
When there is a better choice, Xia Duo will naturally choose a better collaborator.
…
In the next few days, Eli and other representatives of the Tia business group visited again. Although Xia Duo still did not promise anything, he introduced them to Nese Mining, which had just been established. In fact, it was a tacit agreement to cooperate.
During this period, the last few tests on the public computing resource pool are about to reach the end. If nothing unexpected happens, a perfect answer will be handed in before the end of the month.
As the news spread, more and more elves, both familiar and unknown, visited Xia Duo. Xia Duo was annoyed by this, and finally hid in the alliance headquarters, using the excuse to wrap up the final test, and then everything was quiet.
Quite a few.
In the second half of April, in addition to the issue of the public computing power resource pool that affects people's hearts, there is another major event that cannot be ignored, and that is the demon mage captured by the alliance in two time-related raids some time ago.
We have been conducting a secret investigation before, but recently news finally came out that countless elves were involved, including many high-ranking families in the elven countries such as Cormanthor.
This result is so shocking that even if the news comes out, few elves dare to discuss this matter in public, not because they are afraid of the exposed high-ranking families, but——
This preliminary investigation has revealed so many elves involved in demons. Once a comprehensive inspection is carried out, we still don’t know how many will be discovered!
You must know that there have been rumors since a few months ago that the alliance countries are preparing to conduct comprehensive inspections of demons in their own countries, but the volume of the noise has become smaller and smaller now.
Especially the recent leakage of investigation results has made people in the North even more panic-stricken.
…
Alliance meeting room, closed-door meeting of representatives.
While the outside world is already panicking in response to some of the investigation results, the league is also feeling embarrassed by this shocking investigation report!
If it is made public, it is likely to cause greater uneasiness. If it is not made public, it is unreasonable. When such a big thing happens, there must be an explanation for the outside world.
"What do you think we should do now? I said at the beginning that the identities of investigators should be strictly restricted, but now it's okay. Before the investigation is over, someone started spreading random rumors!"
As the only human present, Tirion had every reason to complain, because at this stage almost all incidents involving demons were not directly related to Netheril.
The same goes for Danzo, but Danzo is habitually neutral and cannot take the initiative to raise such a sharp issue.
What Tirion meant was that the elves had leaked the secret. Unfortunately, all the representatives were well aware of this. It did not necessarily mean that the elves had leaked the secret. After all, there were humans and dwarves among the investigators.
But at least everyone agrees that it is more likely that the elf will leak the secret. There are only five representatives present in the conference room, and it is a closed-door meeting and will not be made public, so there is no need to engage in verbal disputes.
The three elf representatives could only respond with silence.
Seeing that the elf representative didn't speak, Tirion didn't care. Anyway, the elven countries would be most affected by the leak, not Netheril. However, the problem of demons is something that the entire Northland needs to face.
Although no demons have been discovered in Netheril so far, no one can guarantee that there will not be any in the future. There may even be demons infiltrating now.
"The biggest problem now is not that the investigation results are leaked, but whether to continue the investigation and how to deal with the discovered demons and demon protectors!"
This issue cannot be avoided not only in Netheril, but also in the elven countries, because this is what is happening right now. When Tirion said this, the three elven representatives could no longer remain silent.
"The investigation must continue, but how to deal with it-"
Speaking of this, the elf representative hesitated a little. Tirion couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this, and then joked: "The impact is too broad, it's a bit unbearable?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the three Elf representatives suddenly changed, and Representative Cormanso responded unceremoniously——
"Tirion, don't be too proud. That is to say, the demon descendants have not spread to Netheril yet, but it is not there now, which does not mean that it will not be in the future. What we encounter now is what you will encounter in the future. What are you so proud of?
It’s there!”
After saying this, Tirion also stopped smiling and his expression became serious. It is true that there are no cases of demons in Netheril yet, but that doesn't mean there won't be in the future.
More importantly, the country is still hesitant about whether to conduct a comprehensive inspection. According to the news coming from the country, this decision does not seem to be easy to make.
"I made a mistake. So what is the Three Kingdoms saying now? Netheril and Denzo are waiting for the results of your Three Kingdoms. It may also be a reference for us in the future. This is not a joke. I am serious.
Talk about it."
"Cormanthor's consistent attitude towards demons is that they will never tolerate them. Once discovered, they will be eliminated immediately, and those who protect demons must also be dealt with strictly!"
As soon as this was said, before Tirion and Engir (representatives of Danzo) said anything, Ilfaran's representative Septalis immediately expressed his objection:
"Clear them all. Do you know how many elves will be killed?"
In fact, so far, the number of demons discovered in Ilfaran is actually the smallest. However, even if the hidden danger of demons in the country is the smallest, Ilfaran cannot make the decision to eliminate them all.
In the past, the ones who dealt the hardest blows to demons were Cormanso and Erlan. There were almost no demon incidents in Elfaran, nor did they suffer any demon disasters. More importantly,——
The current Ilfaran originated from the ancient Ilfaran civilians who rebuilt their homeland. To a certain extent, they are sympathetic to the demons who were also victims of the conquest of Arivandar.
The reason why we want to attack the demon descendants is mainly because of joining the Northland Alliance, which is a decision made by the alliance. In addition, in recent years, the demon descendants have become more and more active, and even carry out indiscriminate attacks.
The most intolerable thing for Ilfaran is the time-related ceremony.
But all this was not enough for Elfaran to make the decision to completely eliminate the demon descendants.
