Lord of Arcane

Chapter 491 The new project of the snow melting competition is the supreme inheritance
Not long after Lord Doleson left the elf embassy, ​​in another hidden place, the great arcanists from the Seven Towers gathered and began to discuss some arrangements for the snowmelt competition.

The Snowmelt Contest was originally just a teaching-type arcane competition for the elf mages of Yeerlan to guide the Nether mages. Later, the Netherers discovered the [Nether Scroll], and then abandoned elf magic.

Regardless of whether it was because of Qi or other reasons, the subsequent snowmelt competition gradually lost its original flavor until it developed into a game field for the two countries to resolve various disputes.

The biggest conflict between Netheril and Yeerwen is not the rise and suppression of new forces, but a trade dispute. As the largest trade exporter of Netheril, Yeerwen has been from Netheril for hundreds of years. Countless raw metal ores and raw gemstones have been obtained.

Afterwards, it is converted into finished products and sold back to Netheril, which also includes magic items, artworks, and even high value-added products such as spices and wine.

The unit price of the product is nothing, and what the snowmelt competition competes for is the share of trade and the amount of trade tax.

Yeerlan hopes to increase imports and exports, but at the same time reduce the tax rate, while Netheril not only wants to reduce the import and export of some specific commodities, but also increase the tax rate additionally.

The Netherese are more inclined to turn part of their trade to the dwarves than to the elves. After all, the dwarves live in the mountains and underground, and have no natural territorial competition with humans.

On the other hand, dwarves also need human food, while elves do not.

In recent years, the Netherese have lost less and won more in the snowmelt competition, and have transferred a lot of import and export shares to the dwarves in the northwest. Today, the dwarves have even become the largest source of high-grade Mithril in Netheril.

The ever-increasing trade tax on elf goods also made Yeerlan very dissatisfied in the country, but based on the historical relationship between the two countries, it only increased the participation in the snowmelt competition in the end, and did not launch any substantive threats.

It's just that now that Cormanthor is involved, no one can predict how the situation will develop.

The great arcanists of the Seven Towers met frequently after the New Year's meeting of the Severton Council. In a sense, they represented the entire Netheril. Although there may be conflicts of ideas among them, when facing the elves, They will still put aside the controversy.

Today's meeting was mainly to discuss the format of the competition. No one expected that the snowmelt competition would be held in less than two months, and the format of the competition has not yet been discussed.

The previous arcane competition with Ye Erlan was extended from the guided practice hundreds of years ago, but now it is more intense than in the past. Except for the limited venue and the use of foreign objects, it can almost be regarded as a one-on-one actual combat.

And with more Cormanthor, is there a three-way melee?
Or repeated battles, but Comanso has clearly rejected repeated battles, and Yeerlan is also tired of the past game format. If they use this format again, they will still lose more and win less, and they cannot change the status quo.

Therefore, the elves strongly demanded to change the competition system, three to two, and the Nethers could not refuse. In addition to the traditional magic duel, two new competitions would be added, proposed by Netheril and Comanthor respectively.

The elves' plan hasn't come out yet, but the great arcanists of the Seven Towers are almost certain that it must be in favor of elf mages.

Although the opponent seemed fair enough to ask the Nethers to propose a new contest, since it was an arcane contest and magic was involved, the Nether mages did not have an absolute advantage.

Except for the old project that has been honed for hundreds of years-spell duel, if you change to other projects, you may not necessarily be able to compete with the elf mage.

Therefore, the discussion of the great arcanists is no longer about how to design a more ingenious confrontation with magic, but about designing a game that is more advantageous for humans.

But after discussions and discussions, the great arcanists found that even in the traditional event of spell duel, the Nethers might still have a certain advantage against Yeerlan, who had been fighting for hundreds of years, but against Comanthor Not necessarily, let alone new projects.

So, what form of competition is more beneficial to human mages?
Just when everyone was deep in thought, Princess Shia suddenly said: "You don't have to worry too much about the spell duel with Comanthor. I have an elf mage from Comanthor. I will ask him to give the arcane spell to the competition. Master for counseling and practice, familiarize yourself with the spell-casting habits of Master Cormanthor."

The elf mage that Princess Shia mentioned was actually the Tower of Fenovia brought back from the Tower of Time.

The Stardew family has experienced disasters, and after being exiled to Severton, they quickly voted for the princess. Orlando, the patriarch, only wants the family to continue, and doesn't care about serving mankind at all.

To show his loyalty, he even married a human wife.

As for Fenovita, although he is not used to human life, he is obedient under the pressure of the patriarch's brother.

For the princess, the Xingdew family's refuge is not in the acquisition of a few elf mages, but in the judgment of the domestic situation of Cormanthor and a set of elf magic inheritance that is enough to advance to a high-level mage.

This is something that Yeerlan could not provide in the past. The elves were unwilling to open up the supreme inheritance, which was also an important reason why the Nethers abandoned elf magic. Of course, the main reason was the discovery of the [Neither Scroll].

The sudden utterance of the princess also reminded the representatives of the other seven towers that an elf family was exiled to Severton last year, but they only now knew that the elf family came from Cormanthor.

When the princess uttered the name of the Xingdew family, the representatives of the other seven towers showed stunned expressions, but then frowned again, "Comanso's Xingdew family was destroyed overnight, and the survivors turned to Nai Cyril? Is there any conspiracy here?"

"I already know the details here. Regardless of whether there is a conspiracy behind it or not, there is nothing wrong with the Xinglu family itself. In addition, a set of supreme inheritance cannot be false!"

"Supreme inheritance?!"

All the great arcanists suddenly forgot the new item of the arcane competition that was supposed to be discussed, and turned the topic to the supreme inheritance. One of the great arcanists immediately said:
"Those long ears have been hiding the supreme inheritance, Your Highness, are you sure it is the supreme inheritance? I have traveled to the kingdoms of elves when I was young, and I know a lot about elf magic. Do you want me to take a look at it?" ?”

"Just you?" Another great arcanist retorted immediately, "Who here has never studied elf magic, but if you want to say that you know it best, it should belong to me, Moraine Tower, Your Royal Highness, please let me see the supreme inheritance, I will make the most professional judgment!"

Soon, the other great arcanists also spoke one after another, requesting to watch the Supreme Legacy, Princess Shia did not refuse, "I have left the Supreme Legacy in Giles Tower, if you want to see it, go and see it yourself!"

Although there is competition among the Seven Towers, there is also cooperation. They are collectively referred to as the "Seven Towers Group" to the outside world. It is common for personnel to communicate with each other, and even to transfer each other.

For example, Byron, the great arcanist of Gilles Tower, was originally born in Gustav Tower.

As for why the Supreme Legacy was not placed in the Arcane Federation, it is naturally because the composition of the Arcane Federation is more complicated, and because you don't want to touch the sensitive nerves of the elves, you can study it in private, and it is best not to make it public.
