Chapter 837: Probability and respect

"Your Royal Highness, fighting on the Green Field will inevitably lead to war. Why can't we take a step back? When we become stronger, what we have lost now can be retaken in the future!"
This is what Harris really thinks. He deeply knows the war potential of the elves, if it weren't for the longevity species to be too life-saving, and the difference in the concept of time between the two sides.
If it were a human being, it was impossible for Netheril to develop to this state at his doorstep.
In addition, once a war breaks out, you have to face a more serious problem, that is, the Elf Lord!
Although he didn't want to admit it, Harris knew one thing very well. The Elf Lord God had the ability and determination to actively intervene in mortal disputes.
When it comes to gods, people have to be more cautious. In the past, the Elf Lord God may have no choice to directly attack Netheril out of respect or fear for the Lord of Radiance.
But in the event of a large-scale war, who can guarantee that the opponent will not take action? ,
At least the Lord of Radiance did not show any intention to actively intervene in the mortal world.
What a difficult decision to let mortals fight against God!
But although Harris is a bit pessimistic about Netheril's present, he is very optimistic about the future. As a great arcanist, he deeply understands that magic is to enable mortals to obtain extraordinary power.
It is impossible to use mortals to fight against gods now, just because the development of magic has not reached that point. Once it reaches that point, it may not be impossible for mortals to kill gods.
Of course, whether mortals at that time could be called "mortals" is another matter.
In short, Harris strongly disagrees with a war with Comanso now, which will greatly affect the normal development trajectory of Netheril.

Faced with Harris’s firm opposition, Shia was about to refute, when Hadrian of Jennick Tower suddenly spoke with a sharp tone:
"What is lost now can be regained in the future? Then how do you know that you will not lose everything until you gain enough power to regain everything?
"Furthermore, with such a step-by-step retreat, how can you guarantee that Comanso will be satisfied and will not push it step by step?
"The past history has told us that the return of concessions is not respect and timely termination, but intensified greed. Is such a result really what you want?" First published www.m.
Hadrian’s words made Harris somewhat silent. He knew that he could not answer these questions. At this time, Budigaal, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke:
"Well said! Rather than being forced by them step by step to the path of being unable to resist, it is better to kill them when they can resist. I don't believe that the elves are not afraid of death one by one! When they die to a certain extent, they will definitely Compromise! In addition to safeguarding our interests, we have also won our dignity!"
Between dying with pride and dignity, and living with humiliation and humbleness, Badigar will undoubtedly choose the former. It is hard for him to imagine what the day he would lose his pride!
And his words also aroused everyone's desire for dignity. The Great Arcanist is undoubtedly very noble in Netheril, but in the eyes of the elves, even if he possesses the power similar to that of a higher wizard, he still manipulates magic. Barbarian image.
The surface respect may be just to set off the noble, elegant and civilized posture of the elves, but as soon as the interests are involved, the surface disguise is instantly torn up, without any hesitation.
What is true respect? There is only one true respect between nations and races, and that is strength, and battles for victory with blood and fire!
As for the respect that stems from personal morality, the great arcanists do not deny this, but it is much weaker and smaller among nations, civilizations, and races.
"you guys--"
Harris' face changed a few times, but after all he didn't say anything against it. In fact, he was mentally eager for such a vigorous battle for dignity and even war.
But Netheril must also have an opponent, a conservative, and a guardian who can bring everyone's enthusiastic will back to reason at any time. Xia Ke Novel Network
However, when this meeting has reached this point, Harris also knows that it is almost over. The Seven Towers and the Seven Great Arcanists, Shia, Badigar, and Hadrian, undoubtedly supported this conflict of planes. Even war.
Randall, who has always had a calm personality, puts almost all his mind on the field of magic, and rarely opposes everyone's decisions.
Horn seems to antagonize Badigar from time to time, but it is more of a personal grievance, and the cause is simply because Horn hooked up with two of Badigar's apprentices.
However, in official affairs involving the Seven Towers and even Netheril, these two seemingly uncomfortable people often get together.
Up to now, although Horn has not expressed his position, Harris, who is familiar with Horn’s character, knows that if Horn wants to oppose, he would have jumped out to accuse Budigaal. There is no such thing. This is already a tacit attitude. Up.
Among the seven, four supported, one was neutral, and the last two, except for themselves, were Pastero of the Nasifu Tower.
Thinking of this, Harris glanced at the thoughtful Pastello~EbookFREE.me~ and already had the answer in his heart.
...
Then, as Harris expected, Horn, after provoking Badigar, finally agreed with Badigar's point of view and made it clear that he was willing to participate in the battle between the Green Ball and Comanso.
And Pastero, although he did not express his willingness to participate directly, also expressed his willingness to provide material support on behalf of Nasifu Tower, specifically for fighting the Komanzo elves.
As for Harris, since the resolution has been reached, he also said that he will provide a batch of materials, the quantity will refer to the Nasifu Tower and the Morion Tower.
Of course, no matter whether it is a person or a material, it will eventually need to pay for the Gustav Tower. This is clear to everyone. After all, the Green Field is his family, not everyone is equally divided.
If it is divided equally, then this meeting may be another scene!
...
Seeing everyone's opinions reached an agreement, Xia finally made a summary, "In this case, this matter is so decided. Finally, I have one more thing to tell you!"
"What's the matter?" Badigar asked immediately with concern.
Xia glanced at Budigaar and knew that the other party was anxious to pay back her favor, but the other party's help was really indispensable for this matter.
"The sanctification of the statue is about to be completed!"
As soon as Xia finished speaking, the secret chamber fell into a weird silence. After a long time, there was a rapid breathing, but it was Randall who had rarely spoken before:
"Your Royal Highness, are you saying that your faith statue is almost consecrated?"
"Yes." Xia nodded.
"That, that—"
Randall didn’t say anything afterwards, but everyone else knew what he wanted to say—
Is the ascension ceremony coming to an end?
