Chapter 536: New meaning, negotiation

The temple area of ​​Sevinton, more accurately the temple area of ​​the new city, is said to be a district, but in fact there is only one large temple of the Lord of Radiance, and the others are annex buildings related to the temple.
Such as the residences of clergy, training places, relief stations, courts, etc.
There is also an area in the old city that can also be called the temple area, but the Lord of Death enshrined there is generally more used to call it the "mausoleum area."
After judging that the exchange meeting was under the Great Temple, Xia Duo was very unbelievable and immediately contacted Niya, but Niya did not sleep at this time, and she immediately responded.
"I didn't calculate the specific location. If it is really under the Great Temple, it is indeed a bit strange. I will ask Bellera."
There is no conspiracy or anything. It’s just that this problem is not clear. Xia Duo is always uneasy. Belera belongs to Giles Tower, and Nia is a student of the princess. Naturally, he can easily contact each other. He waited for Ni. Ya's recovery, while casting spells to create Arcane Crystals.
It is still less than the size of a grain of rice, and the meat on the legs of a mosquito is better than nothing.
Throwing the Ao Neng crystal into the portable space, Niya has not yet responded, and Xia Duo has started to check the status of the Ao Hu again. After completing the advancement for four or five days, his Ao Hu is fairly stable. The only shortcoming is probably the magic net. The complexity of the string is gone.
This determines whether Xia Duo can unfold the extra string of the magic net and perform a spell similar to the magic net cast. It is still a bit too cumbersome to cast the spell purely with arcane power.
However, he also asked Niya about the string of the magic net. Niya's answer is that there is currently no way to actively change the string of the magic net. It can only wait for it to increase, extend, and become more complicated.
The string of the magic net is not only the energy running device, but also the energy storage, almost regarded as the most precious possession of an arcanist.
Compared with it, Ao Neng Crystal is a bit trivial.
After several days of exploration, Xia Duo had a general understanding of the state of her own Arcane Fire, as well as a general concept of the string of the magic net, the upper limit of Arcane energy, and the consumption of spells.
It's just that the number of experiments is relatively small, and the specific quantitative attributes have not been measured yet. However, Xia Duo believes that it won't take long before he can come up with an Olympic flame upgrade system.
Of course, this upgrade system can only be used for information display, and it does not really allow him to upgrade.
I was considering whether to suspend the "feeding" portable space and use Aoneng for the experiment, Niya's reply came over
"Bellela told me that there is a small temple of the goddess of magic under the big temple, where the exchange meeting is held, and Gu said that if there is magic communication there, it is possible to get the goddess' grace."
"Really?" Xia Duo couldn't help but move some thoughts.
In the past, he felt that God’s grace was useless. It was because he felt that he would definitely be able to upgrade, and he didn’t need to rely on God’s grace. But when he truly understood the situation of the Olympic Fire, he also felt that it would be good to have God’s grace. Complexity.
It is equivalent to increasing the complexity of the string of the magic net and the upper limit of the arcane energy it can accommodate.
Of course, for an arcanist like Xia Duo who has the potential to continue to upgrade, deliberately pursuing divine grace is a bit unworthy, but this way of trying luck in the exchange meeting is still good.
Maybe someday you will accumulate more, and you will be able to directly upgrade to one level.
"I also asked other people just now, and they all know this information." Niya's voice suddenly became a little deep here, "We don't know only from small places like us, and we don't know information like this. How many are there!"
"..."
Indeed, this kind of information similar to common sense is usually not recorded by someone, unless it happens to be encountered, otherwise you don’t know if you miss it. Hearing that Niya's mood is a little low, Xia Duo also has a sense of urgency in her heart, perhaps she should keep it. In Sevinton.
But on a second thought, he denied this idea. What is his identity here? The husband of the great arcanist apprentice? Chateau did not want to stay in Seventon in this capacity.
Besides, there is also the responsibility of the pioneer. He has not been invited to join the Sevinton Parliament so far. It also shows that the pioneering career has not been recognized by the princess and needs to continue to work hard.
If you give up rashly, you may be in direct contact with the princess, but this is something that several student husbands can't make up.
"Don't underestimate yourself, how many arcanists are in Netheril's early 20s, and how many students have become major arcanists? How do you think so, so how do you make others live?"
"I didn't underestimate myself! I just think the mage in the small place is so pitiful."
After speaking, Niya left a short, arrogant "hum".
Xia Duo tentatively sent another "rest early", but there was no response. Xia Duo shook his head and began to wash, until he lay on the bed, Niya's reply came.
It is also a phrase "rest early".
...
Even in the middle of the night when most people had already rested, the Nether Palace was still brightly lit.
In the reception hall, Princess Shia, Great Master Greta, as well as many clerks, staff, representatives of the Seven Towers, and even representatives of the Austrian and French Federation, sat on one side of the negotiating table, looking straight ahead.
The other side of the negotiating table does not really exist, it is just a projection of a group of elves, among them, the representative of Comanso and the high mage Suvirish who have also appeared in the arena during the day.
It's just that now, the state of the elves seems to be inferior to Netheril's side, and the headed elves kept frowning. This time Netheril didn't know how to suddenly become so strong.
Coinciding with the expiration of the once-decade trade agreement, Netheril’s requirements this time mainly include two aspects. One is to increase the transaction volume of high-grade Mithril, and the other is to increase the art transaction tax.
The former doesn't matter. Anyway, I don't know how many high-grade Mithril is imported into Netheril in the form of works of art each year. Increasing the official transaction volume only clarifies this form.
But the latter has directly hit Comanso’s income. Art works are not only mithril products, but wood, stone or other metal works of art have a larger transaction volume and higher profits, because most of the elves produce It is classified as an artwork, and the premium is extremely high.
More importantly, this deliberately levied tax on Comanço’s art will inevitably hurt Comanço’s influence. Those humans can’t distinguish what is Comanço art and what is Yeerlan art, as long as it is Elf, long-term replacement is easy.
Influence, this invisible and intangible thing, is sometimes the most deadly thing.
...
Comanso’s negotiator could not accept the increase in transaction tax~EbookFREE.me~ In addition, he knew that the country would definitely not be willing to classify goods in detail and classify non-art objects that do not require an increase in transaction tax. The finished Mithril ingots should also be considered as artworks.
Knecerel was bitten to death and wanted to increase taxes. Even if he threatened to reduce the amount of mithril trading, Netheril did not retreat at all, which made it difficult for him to handle it.
Even as a high-level mage, when encountering such a negotiation, it is impossible to do anything that will harm all the elves, unless he is willing to take responsibility for himself.
With reference to the past ten years, it is impossible to be responsible for trade losses in the next ten years.
The situation cannot be stalemate forever, and the representative of Comanso, who is temporarily at a disadvantage, had to speak actively:
"His Royal Highness, I suggest that the negotiation be postponed. The conditions you put forward are not within my jurisdiction. I must discuss with China."
In fact, what he wanted to do more was to find the reason why Netheril was so strong, to break it, and the negotiation would naturally follow his wishes.
On the other side of the negotiating table, Princess Shia smiled, "Since your request is so, based on the principle of friendship, of course we will not refuse. I hope the next negotiation can proceed smoothly."
The Komanso side requested a delay in the negotiations. She had expected that a trade agreement would be completed smoothly, and even secret wars were not rare.
Only this time, Comanso was going to make a mistake. She already knew that Comanso was at war with Zall, and she couldn't deal with it separately.
In addition, Ilfalang has agreed to trade in Mithril, and the amount is still quite large, and even the method of Mithril extraction can be discussed.
The only thing she regrets now is that she did not contact Ilfaran a few years earlier. Of course, the situation in the early years may be different from now.
The world is so complicated.
