"The next topic is about the magic restriction treaty."
Iolum's words immediately attracted the attention of the people in the Seven Towers. This was different from the order of the topics disclosed in advance. Especially Skum, there was obviously some emotion in his eyes.
But Iolum pretended not to see it at all and continued:
“The Northland Alliance recently established a new [Super-Magic Incident Assessment and Investigation Department], and the person in charge is a high mage from Evereska, who is of course also a respectable elder.
"Below the person in charge is the [Audit Committee], which is composed of spellcasters with a certain reputation in the North. I was fortunate enough to be nominated by Badigal, and was recognized by the representatives of the North Alliance countries, and I was also among them.
"All review committee members will have several investigation teams under their names, responsible for investigating supernatural incidents outside their country."
Having said this, Iolum paused for a moment and glanced at the different faces of everyone, "Maybe some people want to say, what does this so-called investigation team have to do with us?
"What I want to say is that the results of the investigation team's work are directly related to the share of super magic in Netheril. For details, you can look at the information sent by Hachenis. Hachenis——"
"Yes, President."
Hechenis in the auditorium immediately stood up, first hand-delivered a stack of manuscripts to the great arcanists, and then cast a spell to give each of the senior mages in the auditorium a copy.
Chateau opened the manuscript and looked at it. He noticed immediately that the document specifically mentioned that although Cormanso also had mages on the review committee, they did not have a role in the investigation team.
The work process of this newly established department is that the main elf priest hired directly by the alliance headquarters is responsible for monitoring the super-magic events in the North and recording them.
After that, an investigation team from a non-party country will go to investigate, and the review committee will decide whether to identify it as a supernatural incident based on the investigation report.
There is a special comment in the information on how to identify the incident. The general idea is that if the person directly responsible cannot be found, it will be treated as if it never happened.
Take Sha Duo's use of equation magic near Wolf God Mountain as an example, which was monitored by divine magic. As long as the investigation team cannot confirm that he cast the spell, even if the incident occurred within his direct territory or presumed territory, it will not be considered as his doing.
In other words, the future magic restriction treaties will be more about restricting high-end magic facilities and equipment, rather than a specific spell cast. After all, the caster will run away after one cast, making it difficult to track.
Do you expect a group of "second-generation magicians" who may just be gilded in the Northland Alliance to track down and investigate high mages or great arcane masters?
Of course, if there are a large number of witnesses who have not been cleared, or if the spell is cast in public, there will undoubtedly be no way to cover it up.
But it is difficult to hide magic facilities for a long time. Even if the second generation of the investigation team is not good enough, there are "parents" who can help. This is easy to determine.
Basically, seeing this, Xia Duo understood the nature of this so-called investigation team. It was probably for private transactions with various countries. If you remember me less, I will remember you less.
Iolum was serious, saying that it was directly related to the share of super magic in Netheril, but Cormanthor, the most malicious person, was excluded from the investigation team, which left a lot of room for imagination.
Of course, Shado felt that Iolum might really want to use these metamagic incident investigation teams to gain more room for maneuver for Netheril.
At the end of the manuscript, Xia Duo took a brief look at it, mainly about the work process and benefits of the investigation team. From his perspective, this was indeed a very good second-generation gold-plated place.
The job is simple, the benefits are excellent, and you can often go abroad and come into contact with all kinds of spell casters, which will help broaden your horizons.
You can mess around if you want, and you can have room to play if you want to work hard.
If Xia Duo hadn't been considered "successful and famous" now, he would have thought of hanging out there.
Just when he was daydreaming about the manuscript on the table, someone was already eager to ask about the quota, "Master Iolum, how many quotas are there in the investigation team under your name?"
"There are a total of 40 places. I can give each of you a place, and the rest will be placed in the Austrian Law Federation. Those who are interested in this aspect can register on their own, and I will select suitable candidates."
After Iolum finished speaking, Magna, who had just asked about the quota, immediately spoke again, "Master, can you give me a few more quotas? I can understand the master's concern, but this matter is closely related to us. I am not worried about only one quota. "
With Magna taking the lead, Braun immediately followed, "Master Iolum, the members of the investigation team need strong investigative abilities. Most of these people are under us, so why not allocate quotas directly?"
There are many people who have the same idea as Braun, including Shado, who also thinks it is better to allocate quotas directly. How many "loose cultivators" are there in Netheril now?
All mages who "grow" normally belong to various wizard tower organizations, and it can even be said that they are inextricably linked to the Seven Towers.
Of course, there is something wrong with allocating it all to the Grand Arcanist. Perhaps it would be more reasonable to divide half of it first, like the super magic share, and then leave half for free registration.
It's just that the quota is too small, and one person only takes up half of it.
Thinking about it this way, Iolum's allocation is not unreasonable.
Shado figured it out, but others didn't necessarily think it through, or they just didn't want to. First Magna, then Braun, and then Hawke and Vader also expressed their need for more (certain) Quota.
In the end, except for the three people from the Seven Towers, Brod, Shado, and Byron, everyone else, including Jenna, all questioned Iolum's distribution plan. In particular, even Cross jumped out.
Seeing Cross jumping out, Sha Duo immediately realized that these people were probably not interested in drinking.
Iolum also thought of this, and his face became a little ugly. At this moment, he realized that he had just temporarily moved this issue to the front, which might have given these people a chance.
As for the three people from the Seven Towers, Scum looked like they were watching the fun, while Horn and Harris realized that if the Seven Towers were not willing to give in on the number of spots on the investigation team, the next sanctions against Cross would be I'm afraid there will be twists and turns.
Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but glance at Iolum with some resentment. Finally, they looked at each other and saw the determination in the other's eyes, so Horn said immediately:
"I personally give up the quota given by Master Iolum, but I still retain the right of members of Kiran Tower to sign up on their own."
Harris later said something similar to Horn.
This was a little hard for Skoum to accept, but in this case, unless he was willing to show off the discord within the Seven Towers in public, he would have no choice but to give up.
Obviously Skoum was not that stupid. The lively expression on his face disappeared in an instant, and he announced with a cold face that he would give up the fixed quota.
As for those who didn't come, Iolum didn't get assigned to them from the beginning, so there's no question of giving up or not.
