Chapter 1498 Limiting Magic Proposes Ally Attitude
Therefore, Xia Duo asked hesitantly: "Teacher, are you being too sensitive? If the elves want to restrict us, why not choose before the project starts instead of when the project is about to end?"

It's not that he doesn't believe in Iolum, but out of rational thinking, the independent Austrian fire device can basically be put into practical use now.

What is lacking is more just some stability tests, as well as detailed optimization in the process of production, installation, debugging and practical use.

The elves are only now proposing restrictions, isn't it too late?

"I also hope that the elf's proposal has nothing to do with us, but unfortunately, I just made a shallow prediction, and the results show that the elf's proposal is very related to our project and has a great impact."

"How could this be? Did the elves notice something?" Brod wondered.

"I want to know too! The only good news now is that Cormanthor's proposal was not passed at the Northland Alliance meeting, but—"

Iolum sighed, and continued: "Just in the morning, I learned from Badigal that Ilfaran had sent a hint of interest in the proposal through the Netheril embassy in Alintar. Do you know what that means?"

"Ilfaron and Cormanthor are together?" Brod asked.

"That's not likely to happen, but on this issue, they obviously have common interests. Not only them, including Ye'erlan and Dan Zuo, have shown interest in this proposal, especially Ye'erlan, who expressed support at that time."

"This--"

Not only Brod, but even Xia Duo was a little silent. This is the joint suppression of the rising forces by the first-mover countries, and it does not waver just because the two sides are allies.

It is interesting enough to give a hint in advance.

The elf magic system is relatively mature, and various advanced technologies are mostly preserved in old papers and relics, but the Nether magic system is relatively immature and needs to be continuously improved.

For various advanced technologies, even if they find inspiration and reference from elf magic, if they want to completely transform them, they have to rely on a lot of experiments.

If large-scale magical activities are restricted, wouldn't the future be "bright"?
Of course, what Xia Duo cares more about is the elves' definition of large-scale magical activities, and how to determine whether there are large-scale magical activities, which requires extremely sophisticated detection methods.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo quickly asked Iolum, "Teacher, what are the large-scale magical activities mentioned by the elves? Badigal mentioned how the elves judge whether there is such a thing?"

"Mainly refers to the magical activities involving the tenth layer of the magic net. Comanthor said that such magical activities would cause irreversible damage to the magic net. We all know that the magic net has a tendency to recover by itself, but I want to refute Comanthor's claim This sentence is also very difficult, because the traces involved in the magic activity on the tenth layer of the magic net will take longer to recover."

"Teacher, it's more than that!" Speaking of this, Brod suddenly interjected, "They didn't even consider that arcanists can also actively sort out and repair the magic net."

"Yeah, why would they take the initiative to consider us? Even if they consider it, they only consider our shortcomings and how to limit us!"

Iolum sighed again, and continued to explain to Shaduo, "As for how the elves judge whether there is a large-scale magical activity, hehe, they proposed two solutions——

"One is to install a monitoring tower in an area with more magical activities, and the other is to have a preliminary judgment by the elven priest who has special magical skills, and then the Northland Alliance will send a joint investigation team to verify it."

After finishing speaking, Iolum also added, "Human countries don't have to worry about the absence of human supervisors, as long as they are druids, they can go to the main temple of Cormanthor to receive the baptism of divine arts, so as to master that special divine arts. "

"Good Comanthor!"

Xia Duo couldn't judge for a while, whether Comanthor had noticed the clues of the independent Austrian fire device project, or after the underground war was over, he had nothing to do to trouble Netheril.

It is absolutely impossible to agree to the monitoring tower plan. Normally, it may be just a monitoring tower. At critical moments, it may not be the coordinates of spell guidance, or the special elements of ritual spells.

This is simply a mine that buried the enemy's house in advance.

As for the priest supervisor, it is actually useless to oppose it. Since Comanso made this proposal, I am afraid that the supervisor has already been prepared.

It's just a matter of whether the follow-up investigation was conducted openly in the name of the Northland Alliance, or secretly in the name of Cormanthor.

Xia Duo never expected that once the underground war was over, Comanso would be so disgusting!

"What is the attitude of the Seven Towers?"

"The attitudes towards this matter within the Seven Towers are not consistent, but the opposition still accounts for the majority. If this matter is not handled properly, it is not impossible to cause Netheril to fall apart!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Duo was silent again, but Brod, who was still a little ignorant, asked strangely: "This matter is obviously not good for us, why can't the Seven Towers unanimously oppose it?"

"It's bad for us, but not necessarily bad for the Seven Towers!" Xia Duo said pointedly.

The Qita family has a big business, even with these restrictions, it is completely possible to move large-scale magic activities to a different plane, but other people do not have this ability.

Not to mention whether it is possible to find a sub-plane suitable for large-scale magical activities, the additional research costs caused by the differences between different planes are not affordable by ordinary organizations.

Do you dare to move the achievements of the other plane directly to the main plane without verification?

For example, the independent Austrian fire device, if it is a [true independent Austrian fire] that takes another route, it may be possible, but now this kind of [Imitation Austrian fire plan] that is just a larger magic item needs to consider different planes difference.

Once the proposal to restrict large-scale magical activities becomes a resolution, there may be a mage tower organization that abandons the Northland, or even the main plane.

Or they are willing to bear higher costs and not leave, and use the interests of other places to make up for it.

But no matter what, this matter is a bad thing that can't be worse. Even if the Seven Towers finally become the winner of Netheril's last take all, their strength will inevitably be damaged.

I'm afraid this is also the reason for the disagreement within the Seven Towers!
……

In Iolum's study room, Xia Duo and the three discussed for a long time, but in the end they could only end with three sighs.

The next day, good news came from the Seven Towers. Ilfaron sent a priest of the main god to demonstrate the special monitoring magic, of course, to assist Netheril in the research of shielding and monitoring.

The news is indeed good news, but from another perspective, it just proves Ilfaran's attitude on this matter!

It's just that Netheril, an ally, is still needed, so he has to express it.
