Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1790 Different positions are not a good thing

"Yes, Asker has the safest underground passage, and Danzo, which is connected to it, is also one of the safest areas in the Underdark, and on the surface—

"To the east, there is an underground channel leading directly to Netheril, and there is a narrow sea that ensures the exchange of bulk goods; to the west, there is a water trade route in the Raven River Basin, connecting Yeerland and Ilfaron.

"You can see that Ascor may not be as prosperous as an elf city, but you have to know that Ascor has almost no local residents. It is a city that exists entirely because of commerce and trade."

The messenger shook his head, looking like a wise man, but Gelu was a little impatient, "But uncle, what's the use of saying this?"

"Ugh--"

The envoy shook his head helplessly, and glanced at Gru in disappointment, "What I want to say is that the existence of Asker certainly has certain geographical factors, but the main reason lies in - Danzo has always adhered to the principle of neutrality !
"Think about it, if Danzo falls to Comanthor, will the Elfran elves come to Askor to do business? Will the people of other small countries come here with confidence?
"For example, Evereska's food, Netheril's wine, ore, these bulk commodities, will they hand over to us?
"If there is a war, I mean if, the biggest possibility is demons and orcs. The former is related to the drow. Comanthor himself can't take care of it. How much support can he give us?

"The latter is actually the common enemy of the northern countries, including Ilfaron, Yerlan, Netheril, and even Comanthor itself. Because we only have a stronghold of Asker on the surface, and because of the special nature of the business , is actually protected by many countries.

"Do you think that Danzo can fall to Cormanthor just because a prince disappears in the arena of courage?

"One last thing to remind you, don't forget who created the demons in the Underdark! It's the drow, but how did the drow come here? Who does the drow want revenge most?
"It's Arivanda, and where is the last remnant of Arivanda? Think about it yourself!"

The envoy's last words were almost clear. Gru rubbed his head, thoughtful. Although he didn't hear Danzo's true thoughts on Comanthor from the envoy's words, he understood one thing——

Danzo will not accept Cormanthor's threat, even if the other party wants to hold the Arena of Courage accountable, he will not back down!
"But uncle, what about me? Will the king protect me?" Gelu asked innocently.

The envoy immediately rolled his eyes when he heard this, "What do you think? If Wang Wuyi protects you, there is no need to send me over! Not only you, everyone in the arena of courage will be fine, but Prince Sel did He was attacked and disappeared here, so if you feel wronged, please bear with it!"

The messenger is Gru's distant uncle, but what is more important is another identity - King Pasteur's first teacher of martial arts, and also the first teacher of the king's most outstanding second son.

His arrival means that King Pasteur is highly concerned. This time, the investigation team that Comanthor came over was led by Alicante. Someone's brother.

If it wasn't for the presence of the envoy, even if Gru was a hammer warrior, he would probably have to suffer some spell interrogation. Now that Gru can sit comfortably in the lounge drinking and chatting, he should be most grateful to his brother-in-law.

……

The elf of Comanthor had already left, and the messenger continued to work for a while before preparing to leave, but just as the two got up, the person in charge of the arena rushed over:
"Sir, it's not good."

"What happened?" It wasn't Gelu who asked the question, but the king's envoy from the Underdark. After all, Gelu just came to watch the arena temporarily, but the real owner of the arena is the king.

"this--"

The person in charge glanced at Gelu who was present, as if hesitant, but the emissary smiled slightly, "Tell me, Gelu is not an outsider, if the king doesn't trust him, why would he send him here?"

"Yes."

The person in charge actually felt a little regretful in his heart. He lowered his head and glanced quietly at Gru, who was still holding the wine glass. Seeing that the other party didn't seem to care about his behavior just now, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief:

"My lord, just now Mage Sade discovered that he was affected by psychic spells, but it was not the Comanthor elves just now, but before the arrival of the elves, I asked him to check for others, and found one again, that person was the arena The gatekeeper, but that person may be affected by different psychic spells at the same time, his thinking is a little confused, and he can't say anything, but it is certain that they must have seen the attacker."

"Got it, go get busy!"

As soon as the messenger waved his hand, he was about to send the person away, but the person in charge was a little anxious, "My lord, this is a clue about the assailant. If we can find the assailant, it will prove that this matter has nothing to do with the arena."

"Got it, go get busy!"

Different from the first time, this time the messenger's tone was obviously more severe. The person in charge didn't dare to hold his head to continue arguing, but turned his eyes to Gru for help.

Gelu saw it, but hesitated to speak, thinking that his uncle had spoken just now, and he felt that his uncle was a wiser person than him, so he didn't speak.

Seeing that Gru was unwilling to speak for him, the person in charge gritted his teeth and withdrew. He decided to go to Master Sade to investigate on his own, and he couldn't let the elves slander him.

……

After the person in charge left, the messenger greeted Gru and sat down again, "Are you wondering why I didn't let him continue the investigation?"

"why?"

"No need. For Cormanthor, evidence is important, but the absence of evidence does not prevent them from freely testifying. The suspects who can do this kind of thing are very limited."

The messenger raised the wine glass, put it down without drinking, and continued: "I guess this matter is likely to be related to Yierlan, and it is very likely that evidence related to Yierlan will be found.

"But whether it's Ye'erlan or Irfaron, we don't need to offend them. As long as we don't participate, they will naturally give gifts afterwards. This is a tacit understanding.

"If they don't compensate, then next time, if there is such a situation, we will have an excuse to participate and ask for more benefits from Cormanso.

"As for now - Comanso can find the best evidence, and it's none of our business if we can't find it. If we do more, we just want to take advantage of it. Is the son of the rock afraid of this?

"Of course we don't want to be hostile to Comanso, but does Comanso want to be hostile to us?
"Then just keep your eyes open and take a good look. The elves' infighting is much more exciting than our dwarves!"

After the messenger finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Gelu looked at his distant uncle who usually had no contact with him drinking in a cool way, and for some reason, a thought popped up in his heart——

"There is nothing good about this group of politicians!"
