In the end, the ruling given by the parliament was indeed similar to what Niya had guessed. Both parties shared this small territory. In addition, Danas was required to compensate Ferdinand for the cost of development during the lead period and the losses caused by the attack.
After that, lords or lord representatives continued to speak, and most of them requested parliamentary arbitration. For example, a certain territory was overcharging tolls, a certain lord's son hooked up with another lord's daughter, a certain lord's treasure appeared in another territory, etc. .
Niya noticed that some problems were solved on the spot, and some of them were solved through magic, but there were still many problems that were dragged on for about a year.
Just as Niya was thinking about why someone as powerful as a great arcanist was delaying, a familiar name appeared in her ears. Niya immediately stopped her random thoughts and cast an inquiring look at the person who was speaking.
"Your Majesty, I want to sue the August Territory. Over the years, they have been assassinating my mages from the Hawk Territory. Last year, my talented student who was about to advance to become an arcanist was also killed by them. I demand that August Territory be prosecuted immediately. Special leaders are conducting review, their existence is simply a cancer in Netheril!"
Hawke Lord Doleson almost gritted his teeth and said these words, completely ignoring Badigal's gradually sinking expression. It's not that he didn't know that behind the August Territory was the Gustav Tower, but he also had a back-up. To some extent, it is even stronger than Gustav's Tower.
The princess still had no words. Badigal secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his face returned to calm. He looked at Doleson and said without any trace of emotion: "Lord Hawke, do you have any evidence for what you said?"
Spells were strictly cast in the meeting hall of the Sevington Council. Even the Grand Arcanist would respect this rule. Badigal did not cast any magic at this time, but Doleson felt a heavy pressure that made it difficult for him to Open your mouth.
The cold sweat on his back ran down and soaked a large area. Even though Doraisin had already stood on the threshold of the Grand Arcanist and often boasted of being a Grand Arcanist, but now, in front of a real Grand Arcanist, He is no better than an ordinary person.
In fact, because he knew more, he became more frightened.
For a time, the atmosphere in the parliament hall also dropped to freezing point, and it was no longer the joy it had been before.
Among the Seven Towers Group, a lord who was dissatisfied with Gustav Tower wanted to say a few words for Doleson, but was immediately stopped by a familiar lord. After whispering, he resumed his acting like watching a show.
Niya was also a little stunned. If Doleson wanted to accuse, he might have to add the Tower of Time, or the Aquilaine Arcanist from the Great Xia Territory, and the Hawk Territory is still locked up in the Tower of Time!
"Damn it! Why don't you say anything!" Doleson was completely desperate for his so-called allies. If he didn't have a trump card, he would not even be able to hold on and collapsed to the ground.
"Lord Hawke, you want to accuse August Territory, do you have any evidence?" Badigal asked again.
Doleson was still speechless, as if his mouth had been sealed, but he knew very well that he was not affected by any magic, he was simply intimidated by the title of Grand Arcanist!
Realizing this made him feel ashamed and angry, but he was helpless and powerless.
At this time, almost everyone in the parliament hall was looking at Doleson, which made him even more embarrassed, "I, I——"
It was difficult to spit out a few syllables, but the following words could not come out at all. I could only keep saying "I, me, me", which was quite funny, and some people in the hall actually laughed out loud.
Just when the scene was about to turn into farce, two emerald-green figures appeared in the council hall, between the lords and representatives of the Seven Towers.
"Elf?!" someone couldn't help but exclaimed.
At this moment, no one cared about Doraisen. Everyone turned their attention to the two elves that had just appeared, including the princess. At this time, the princess finally spoke:
"Ambassador Ivoryaris, this is the Sevington Council. Is it rude to barge in rashly?"
Ivoryaris smiled faintly, bowed, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty, I apologize for being late, but the elves should also have a seat in the Sevington Parliament. I am not intruding."
Ambassador Ivoryaris behaved politely and politely. Not only did he use Nese language, his attitude was also quite kind. If you ignore his appearance, he was almost a human being.
But the other elf was a little impatient. He almost didn't wait for the great arcanists to speak, and then continued what Ivoryaris said:
"Did the transfer of royal power make the Severnton Council forget the promise made by King Nese in the 19th century? If others can forget it, will the princess who inherited the name of Nese forget it too?"
"I have not forgotten, and I remember it very clearly!" Princess Xia's eyes were sharp, and her tone was a little unkind, "The elves that the ancestors talked about were only the Ellan elves, not the Cormanthor elves."
After that, Princess Shia spit out a series of syllables of Elvish. The Elvish spoken by humans is elegant and smooth, not inferior to that of elves. In particular, this quote from the original words of the ancestor King Nese clearly shows that possessing Severn The elves who sit on the Don Council are specifically the Ellan elves.
There is no strict distinction between the word "elf" in Nese language, but in Elvish language, "Ellan Elf" and "Cormanthor Elf" have completely different text expressions and phonetic syllables.
For those who are familiar with the Elvish language, as long as they see the Elvish words for "Elf" or hear the Elvish pronunciation of "Elf", they can clearly determine what Elf they are, and even some of their geographical features and historical origins. It can be judged without any ambiguity.
"Then, maybe I made a mistake!" Ambassador Cormanso did not apologize at all, and his attitude was still arrogant. He seemed to have something else on his mind, but was stopped by Ambassador Erlan.
Although Ivoryaris was shocked by the poor performance of Ambassador Cormanthor, he was also an elf and he would not let the elves be humiliated by humans, so he took over the topic. This was also his business:
"Your Majesty Princess, everyone, I am here on behalf of King Mian. The Moon of Melting Snow is approaching. King Mian believes that starting from this year, some changes will need to take place in the arcane competition between you and me."
"What changes?"
"The crowned king proposed that the Cormanthor elves also join in. To this end, we are willing to provide additional prizes to this year's winners."
"Okay!" Princess Shia agreed immediately, without even discussing it with the other representatives of the Seven Towers. But this kind of issue hardly requires discussion, because the arcane competition is not just a competition book, and the prizes are not worth mentioning at all.
This is a confrontation between the two countries. It is not only a competition of the potential of grassroots spellcasters, but also many frictions and disputes between the two countries are resolved in the arcane competition.
In the early days, the competition between the two sides was mainly based on the guidance of Nese mages by Ye Erlan's Elf Mage. Until the Nese people obtained the [Nese Scroll] and gave up the elf magic, the nature of the competition changed somewhat.
In the early stage, Nese lost more and won less, but later lost more and won more. This was already an excellent result when the Elf High Mage and Nese Grand Arcanist did not take action.
It's just that now that Ellan is pulling in Cormanthor, he may have the idea of suppressing Netheril, but Netheril is unlikely to give in. Even if Ellan hadn't proposed it, the Seven Towers would also propose it in the future.
A competition with restrictions and rules is better than an open and secret fight without restrictions and rules.
