In the end, the ruling given by the parliament was indeed similar to what Niya had guessed. Both parties shared this small territory. In addition, Danas was required to compensate Ferdinand for the cost of development during the lead period and the losses caused by the attack.
After that, lords or lord representatives continued to stand up and speak, most of them asking for parliamentary arbitration. For example, a certain territory specifically charged more tolls, a certain lord's son hooked up with another lord's daughter, a certain lord's treasure appeared in another territory, etc. wait.
Niya noticed that some problems were solved on the spot, and some of them were solved through magic, but there were still many problems that were dragged on for about a year.
Just when Niya was thinking about why even someone as powerful as a great arcanist was delaying, a familiar name appeared in her ears. Niya immediately stopped her random thoughts and cast an inquiring look at the person who was speaking.
"Your Highness, I want to accuse the August Territory. Over the years, they have been assassinating my mages from the Hawk Territory. Last year, my talented student who was about to advance to become an arcanist was also killed by them. I demand that August Territory be prosecuted immediately. Special leaders are conducting review, their existence is simply a cancer on Netheril!"
Hawke Lord Doleson almost gritted his teeth and said these words, completely ignoring Badigal's gradually gloomy expression. It's not that he didn't know that behind the August Territory was the Gustav Tower, but he also had a back-up. , to some extent, it is even stronger than Gustav's Tower.
The princess still didn't speak. Badigal secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his face returned to calm. He looked at Doleson and said without any emotion: "Lord Hawk, do you have any evidence for what you said?"
Spellcasting is strictly prohibited in the meeting hall of the Sevington Council. Even the Grand Arcanist will respect this rule. At this time, Badigal did not cast any magic, but Doleson felt a heavy pressure that made it difficult for him to Open your mouth.
The cold sweat on his back ran down and soaked a large area. Even though Doraisin had already stood on the threshold of the Grand Arcanist and often boasted of being a Grand Arcanist, but now, in front of a real Grand Arcanist, He is no better than an ordinary person.
In fact, because I know more, I become more frightened.
For a time, the atmosphere in the parliament hall also dropped to freezing point, and it was no longer the joy it had been before.
Among the Seven Towers Group, a lord who was dissatisfied with Gustav Tower wanted to say a few words for Doleson, but was immediately stopped by a familiar lord. After whispering in a low voice, he resumed his acting like watching a show. .
Niya was also a little stunned. If Doleson wanted to accuse, he might also add the Tower of Time, or the Aquilaine Arcanist from the Daxia Territory and the Hawk Territory is still locked up in the Tower of Time!
"Damn it! Why didn't anyone say anything?" Doleson was completely desperate for his so-called allies. If he didn't have a trump card, he would not be able to hold on anymore and collapsed to the ground.
"Lord Hawke, you want to accuse August Territory, do you have any evidence?" Badigal asked again.
Doleson was still speechless, as if his mouth had been sealed, but he knew very well that he was not affected by any magic, he was simply intimidated by the title of Grand Arcanist!
Realizing this made him feel ashamed and angry, but it was of no use and was powerless.
At this time, almost everyone in the parliament hall was looking at Doleson, which made him even more embarrassed, "I, I——"
He struggled to spit out a few syllables, but he couldn't say the rest of the words. He could only keep saying "I, me, me", which was quite funny. Some people even laughed out loud in the hall.
Just when the scene was about to turn into farce, two emerald-green figures appeared in the council hall, between the lords and representatives of the Seven Towers.
"Elf?!" someone couldn't help but exclaimed.
At this moment, no one cared about Doraisen. Everyone turned their attention to the two elves that had just appeared, including the princess. At this time, the princess finally spoke:
"Ambassador Ivoriaris, this is the Sevington Parliament. Is it rude to rush in?"
Ivoryaris smiled faintly, bowed, and then said slowly: "Your Royal Highness, I apologize for my lateness, but the elves should also have a seat in the Sevington Parliament. I am not intruding."
Ambassador Ivoryaris behaved politely and politely. Not only did he speak Nese language, but his attitude was also quite kind. If you ignore his appearance, he almost looked like a human being.
But the other elf was a little impatient. He almost didn't wait for the great arcanists to speak, and then continued what Ivoryaris said:
"Did the transfer of royal power make the Severnton Council forget the promise made by King Nese? Others can forget it, so will Her Royal Highness the Princess who inherited the name of Nese forget it?"
"I have not forgotten, and I remember it very clearly!" Princess Xia's eyes were sharp, and her tone was a little unkind, "The elves that the ancestors talked about were only the Ellan elves, not the Cormanthor elves."
After saying that, Princess Shia spat out a series of syllables of Elvish. The Elvish spoken from the human mouth is elegant and smooth, not inferior to that of the elves. In particular, this quote from the original words of the ancestor King Nese clearly shows that possessing
The elves who sit in the Sevington Council are specifically the Elan elves.
There is no strict distinction between the word "elf" in Nese language, but in Elvish language, "Ellan Elf" and "Cormanthor Elf" have completely different written expressions and phonetic syllables.
For those who are familiar with the Elvish language, as long as they see the Elvish words for "Elf" or hear the Elvish pronunciation of "Elf", they can clearly determine what Elf they are, and even some of their geographical features and historical origins.
It can be judged without any ambiguity.
"Then, maybe I made a mistake!" Ambassador Cormanso did not apologize at all, and his attitude was still arrogant. He seemed to want to say something more, but was stopped by Ambassador Erlan.
Although Ivoryaris was shocked by the poor performance of Ambassador Cormanthor, he was also an elf and he would not let the elves be humiliated by humans, so he took over the topic. This was his business:
"Your Highness Princess, everyone, I am here on behalf of King Mian. The Moon of Melting Snow is approaching. King Mian believes that starting from this year, some changes will need to take place in the arcane competition between you and me."
"What changes?"
"The crowned king proposed that the Cormanthor elves also join in. For this reason, we are willing to provide additional prizes to this year's winners."
"Yes!" Princess Shia agreed immediately, without even discussing it with the other representatives of the Seven Towers. However, this kind of issue hardly requires discussion, because the arcane competition is not just the competition itself, but the prizes are not worth mentioning at all.
This is a confrontation between the two countries. It is not only a competition of the potential of grassroots spellcasters, but many frictions and disputes between the two countries are also resolved in the arcane competition.
In the early days, the competition between the two sides was mainly based on the guidance of the Nese mages by the Ellan wizards of Yeerlan. Until the Nese people obtained the [Scroll of Nese] and gave up the elf magic, the nature of the competition changed somewhat.
In the early stage, Nese lost more and won less, but later lost more and won more. This was already an excellent result when the Elf High Mage and Nese Grand Arcanist did not take action.
It's just that now that Ellan is pulling in Cormanthor, he may have the idea of suppressing Netheril, but Netheril is unlikely to give in. Even if Ellan hadn't proposed it, the Seven Towers would have proposed it in the future.
A competition with restrictions and rules is better than an open and secret fight without restrictions and rules.
