Arcane Lord

Using the meeting with Daphne in Dali's memory as the starting point, Shado used the "vein method" to keep tracking this clue, all the way back to Dali's first contact with the Illuminati.

Unlike the expected Illuminati "seeking sponsorship" everywhere, Dali took the initiative to contact the Illuminati.

From the moment he learned that there was a special existence of land walkers among the sea elves, Shado realized that Belluno would never live in seclusion under the sea for a long time as they showed.

Even if the elves on land had less contact with them, they could go ashore to observe themselves, which was also confirmed in Dali's memory.

Not only Dali himself, but also the Belluno officials often sent land walkers to conduct research on land, and not only in the north, but also in the south.

And to the east, Belluno even knew about Imaskar, not completely ignorant. Such a country, but repeatedly sought the offshore territory of the north instead of other places, obviously had a plan in mind.

You know, there is no unified force in the main plane. Even in places like the Northland, where a unified alliance has been formed, there are still many undeveloped or even unowned lands, not to mention other places.

In the southern continent across the ocean, south of Calimshan in the south, ancient elves once established civilization there. The most famous of them is of course Ilysri, who once competed with Erivanda for the crown of the continent.

But after Erivanda's victory, most of the elves in the Ilysri camp - mainly the Sre elves, wood elves, and a small number of gold elves and moon elves - were exiled to the Underdark.

The entire southern force has been subjected to the most brutal cleansing. Today, Katemire, which is close to the Northern Alliance, has become the southernmost elven civilization, but in fact they belonged to the northern region in ancient times.

In this case, it is self-evident what the southern continent, which was originally the home of Ilysri, is like.

When Shado traveled to the main plane before, he also tried to find the ruins of the former Ilysri, but he found nothing. There were only large tracts of primeval forests and some scattered elven tribes.

Perhaps they are the survivors of the war, but now, those elf tribes are said to have inherited magic, and even civilization and culture have not been passed down, and they look completely like primitive people.

Although such a southern continent is in an undeveloped state and requires a lot of effort to develop, compared with the entire western continent, the biggest advantage there is that it has no owner.

That continent (located in the south of the western continent, separated by the Guangyao Sea in the middle, but connected to the western continent by land in the east, it is not an independent land) is not only ownerless, but also has no competitors.

As far as Shaduo knows, the four southern countries (Katemire, Zhamdas, Calimshan, and Sanata) have fought to the death in the past, but none of them thought about developing the southern continent further south.

Even Calimshan, which is the closest and only separated by a sea, has never had such a plan. Even if it has, it has never been implemented.

This gives outsiders an opportunity. Belono's strength is not considered to be weak in the north. Even if the magic system is improved, it can become a powerful country in the north.

Such strength can be placed in the southern continent, and it can completely reduce the dimension of those primitive tribes.

Even if we don't want land, wouldn't it be good to occupy some territory near the sea?

The result is no. Belluno not only did not go to the southern continent to open up land, but also did not occupy the sea. This is somewhat unreasonable.

The only explanation is that the ocean over there has an owner. Unless you can go directly to open up land, otherwise, as long as you pass through the ocean, you may be regarded as an invasion and suffer a blow.

It is difficult for Belluno to go directly to open up land, but it is not insurmountable. The real difficulty lies in the fact that not all Belluno elves are land walkers.

Moreover, even the children of land walkers may not necessarily become land walkers. In this case, opening up land becomes a kind of chicken rib. Even if land walkers are sent from generation to generation, will the territory finally opened up listen to the natives?

The Belluno elves certainly don't know the history of the bald eagle on Earth, but the reason is the same.

The only difference is that the Western Land people on Earth can spontaneously go to America to open up, while it is difficult for the Belluno elves to go to the land to open up alone, but as long as they gain a foothold, it is almost inevitable to break away from the natives.

So Belluno has only one choice, which is to choose to develop in the North Sea, which is closest to the mainland. However, the North Sea already has an owner. In this case, if Belluno wants to use the sea, it has to get the consent of the North Sea Alliance and even Sinaria.

This is probably the truth why the Queen of Tides agreed to join the North Sea Alliance so readily. There is really no other choice.

...

But no one expected that there would still be variables in such a only choice. The variable is the land magic weapon that Dali carries with him, which can make the sea elves adapt to the land environment, and as time goes on, the effect can become permanent.

This is equivalent to Belluno's entire population becoming land walkers.

In this case, the difficulty of directly developing the southern continent or other unowned continents is directly reduced to almost nothing. As long as the traditional concept is overcome, how did they go to the sea from the land in the past? Now it is nothing more than going ashore again, and Belluno can also become a land country.

But in this way, joining the North Sea Alliance is no longer the only choice for Belluno to develop.

Of course, it is impossible to regret what has been agreed upon at will. At least before the North Sea Alliance clearly refuses, Belluno does not have the strength to regret it.

Because of this, Shado was more determined to bring Belluno into the alliance.

In addition to being a catfish to promote the popularization of magic in the northern countries, Belluno's joining can also allow the Northern Alliance to naturally get involved in the Southern Continent.

If his guess is correct, Belluno may have established observation points in the Southern Continent a long time ago. Those observation points are the entry qualifications. Even if there are no observation points, it doesn't matter. Just let them build a few before Belluno officially joins the alliance.

This is a win-win situation, and Belluno is unlikely to refuse.

The only ones who may have objections are the four southern countries, especially Calimshan and Zhamdas. The former is only separated from the Southern Continent by a sea, and the latter can directly attack the Southern Continent in the south.

In fact, Zhamdas has already done this, and Zhamdas may have already regarded the Southern Continent as its own possession. The involvement of other forces may cause them to strongly resist.

But this is also a key step for the Northern Alliance to move from a regional alliance to a world alliance. Shado certainly cannot miss such an opportunity.
