Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2185 reserve an excuse
Soon, the adjournment time ended, and the representatives of various countries returned to the covenant hall.

The representative of Ye Erlan did not change, it was still the land consultant Solzamis, but there were two more strange faces behind him.

As soon as he came up, Engir informed the identities of the two new members of the delegation submitted by Ye Erlan. One was the special envoy of King Helien, and the other had the title of advisor, but was actually a special envoy of the Gaoshu Council of Elders.

"Representative Solzamis, just now you asked to adjourn the meeting to go back to discuss. Does coming back now mean that you have a final attitude?"

"Yes, we generally agree with the borders delineated by various countries, but Ye Erlan will respond accordingly to the comity of various countries."

Afterwards, Solzamis submitted the latest demarcation plan discussed within Yeerlan on the spot, and Engel reviewed it and projected it to the center of the hall.

Everyone has seen Ye'erlan's plan, and the more striking one is that Ye'erlan gave up the ownership of the Ansai Mountains, making it an unowned buffer zone with Sharwen.

However, Yeerlan is not the only neighboring country of Selvin, and it basically follows the usual practice with Irfaran in the west, but the border division with the newly independent Kingdom of Elam is not even mentioned.

"Representative Solzamis, why is there no boundary division between Yeerland and Elam in your proposal?"

"Speaker Engil, and all representatives, although the Kingdom of Elam has become independent, the territorial dispute with our country that it inherited from the time of Shruvand has not been resolved. However, in order to support this demarcation operation, we have decided to temporarily Put aside the dispute and wait until the future situation is clear before resolving it, this is also what the Kingdom of Elam hopes."

"Representative Erlan, do you agree with what Representative Erlan said?" Engel asked.

"agree."

Representative Elan couldn't see any anger on his face. Even though he knew that the so-called shelving of the dispute was to wait for future occupation, he could only agree with a smile.

Of course, this is just an appearance. Xia Duo, who knows Elan's essence as the lair of the demons, thinks of a deeper level. Maybe the demons want to use this to fully infiltrate Ye'erlan, or some other ulterior conspiracy.

But in any case, at the alliance meeting, consent—only its superficial meaning, and this kind of issue between the two countries, as long as the two sides have no objections, and at the same time do not violate the alliance charter, outsiders have no way to intervene.

When the last two countries of the fourteen countries of the Northern Alliance also submitted the demarcation plan, this matter was basically settled. As for what will happen to Yeerlan and Elam in the future, that is a matter of the future.

"As for the current result, if you have no other opinions, then the demarcation issue has reached the last stage."

Engier looked around in the hall and saw that the representatives of all countries were speaking out, so he read the demarcation plan of each country again, and then said:

"Start the covenant now!"

The so-called covenant is not only a form, but also has realistic binding force under the supervision of spells. From this point of view, Ye Erlan, who only sent a land consultant, seems to have taken advantage of it.

But the covenant is protected by the constitution of the Northland Alliance. If Yeerlan does not recognize it in the future, it will be against all countries.

Xia Duo witnessed the whole process of the covenant. He had always thought that the dwarven magic system was rough in style and not good at fineness, and it was not easy to cooperate with other magic systems.

But this time he saw the subtleties of dwarf magic, which complemented Nether magic and elf magic. He guessed that this might be because of the need of the covenant, and Nether mages and elf mages participated in the design of the ceremony.

Soon, the ceremony was over, and Xia Duo discovered that there was an additional system in the Northland Alliance Myslo, which fed back the specific content of the covenant and the status of the breach.

It seems that the covenant ceremony just now was linking the covenant with the mysia. Unfortunately, the Northern Alliance is not a centralized and unified regime after all. It is not enough to rely on magic to supervise the covenant, and it also needs to rely on the joint supervision of all countries in the alliance.

Perhaps this is also the meaning of the alliance.

……

Now that the borders of the countries have been determined, the next logical issue is the issue of restricting war spells.

According to Xia Duo's idea, as long as the boundaries are determined, the definitions of invasion and resistance, justice and injustice will be easier to define.

As such, the scenes using war spells are also well drawn out.

But the reality is far more complicated than he imagined, especially when it comes to core issues such as war magic, some concepts that seem to be so at first glance need to go through many discussions and make extremely detailed definitions.

For example, "invasion" cannot be simply defined as the entry of one country's troops into another country's territory.

For example, "resistance", if only because a businessman of one's own side was killed in another country, can the action initiated be called "resistance"?

If it is just an ordinary issue, then it may be possible, or it may not be possible, but when it comes to major issues between countries, the attitude must be clear, and ambiguity means that there is no position and no definition.

If resistance cannot be defined, if justice and injustice cannot be defined, it will obviously bring chaos to all international affairs.

Xia Duo listened in for two days, but still hadn't waited for a specific discussion on war spells, and the countries have never been able to reach a consensus on some pre-definition issues.

Regarding this aspect, representatives from various countries have also asked him for his opinion, but he is actually not good at this aspect. He pays more attention to the spirit of specific rules rather than the rules themselves.

In reality, he allows loopholes in the rules themselves, but he doesn't want anyone to take advantage of these loopholes, and if found, they must be patched immediately.

But in practical problems, finding loopholes and fixing loopholes requires cost. Xia Duo, as a bystander, of course accepts it now, but the representatives of various countries in it cannot ignore those loopholes that are related to their own interests and even their survival.

Always hope for perfection.

Xia Duo can't say anything against this, and can only hope that all countries can negotiate a definite result as soon as possible. Even imperfect rules are hundreds of times better than no rules.

……

mid-January.

The Northland Alliance Conference is still going on, but Xia Duo has returned to the Floating Void City. Of course, this does not mean that he is indifferent to the Alliance Conference. In fact, he is still highly focused. One of his avatars is placed in Everest Card.

He has never missed the discussions at every meeting, and now he understands the appeals of all countries. The reason for the stalemate is that the fear of the intervention of the big countries by the small countries is almost endless, and the big countries are still unwilling to give up. The idea of ​​leaving room for manipulation in the rules.

This makes it impossible for the two sides to reach an agreement. The only consensus now is probably "definitely limit the use of war spells"!

However, Xia Duo's power alone is limited. Even if this discussion was originally caused by him, the final direction of development is difficult for him to control.
