In the past, Erlan had a seat in the Sevington Parliament, but in the past, the Sevington Assembly was more about mediating and arbitrating conflicts between lords, and did not have much say in major matters.
For example, in the Drow War in the past few years, various decisions were made directly through discussions between the Seven Towers and other great arcanists. Later, in order to correspond with other countries in the Northland Alliance, they were announced in the name of the Severnton Council.
Therefore, in the past, Ye Erlan could not actually intervene in anything even if he used his seat in the Sevington Parliament. But if Ye Erlan still stays in the Sevington Parliament after the new covenant is signed, it will be a big trouble.
After the signing of the New Covenant, the Sevingdon Council integrated the Grand Arcane Council and essentially became the highest authority in Netheril.
Not to mention Ye Erlan's seats in the Seven Towers, even ordinary lords, once they have the right to vote, may cause results that no one can imagine at critical moments.
In other words, once Erlan is involved in the new Sevington Parliament, it will be a nail that cannot be removed even if he wants to.
The more likely scenario is that someone proposes to remove Yeerlan's seat, and then Yeerlan objects, and then under the new covenant order, it will enter the lord voting process.
There are so many lords, most of them have a good impression of the elves. They don't know enough about the relationship between Netheril and Ellan. They believe that the elves are out of goodwill to help the Netherese people, and retaining the seat of Ellan also symbolizes the relationship between the two. country’s friendship.
And it's not just a simple good impression. There is a high probability that Ye Erlan will deliberately manage this good impression, using historical origins, artistic achievements, magical memories, and even direct money to manage it.
By then, each lord will become a walking 500,000, then whose country is Netheril?
Therefore, the best way at present is to keep the elves out of this new covenant consultation meeting. The subsequent new covenant has nothing to do with Erlan, but is the internal affairs of Netheril, and no outsiders are allowed to interfere.
…
Austrian-French Federation.
In Iolum's study, Shado and Iolum were chatting about the new covenant terms of the Seven Towers Plan. The magic network outside the study shook violently, and then Brod opened the door and rushed in.
"Teacher, Xia Duo is here too!"
Brod nodded to Shado, and then couldn't wait to tell Iolum about his recent experience, "Ambassador Yeerlan's adjutant Vika Veli came to see me!
"He said that Erlan is willing to work with Netheril to build Zenith in the west into a trade hub that radiates many countries in the North, comparable to Ascor!"
"Zhenis? I dare to think about it. Isn't it afraid that Danzo will have objections?" Iolum shook his head, as if he was not optimistic about such a suggestion, and then he asked Brod, "What are the conditions on Erlan's side?" ?”
“For one thing, let us support retaining the Erland-related elements of the old covenant in the new covenant.”
"I'll just say it!"
Iolum glanced at Shado, "When Ambassador Ivoryaris came over just now, he mentioned that the two countries were united in the Northland Alliance. Now he talked to Brod about building Zenis. I don't know. What kind of words will they and others use!"
"Yerlan has too many cards to play, and the influence of hundreds of years cannot be seen in a short while." Sha Duo said with some helplessness.
Even though Netheril is now included in the top five of the Northland Alliance, Netheril's development is extremely uneven. In terms of politics, the new covenant order has not yet been established, and the economic structure is extremely shallow and simple.
Not to mention the military, which is basically still at the level of human-to-human combat between top spellcasters, while the elves, just the Cormanso whom Shado knows about, at least have an organized army of spellcasters.
The deterrence in peacetime may be enough, but once war does come, Netheril's mobilization ability and war potential are not as good as the elves.
Once the fight begins, Netheril may be able to cause great damage to the elves in a short period of time, but if the fight continues, the top casters below will soon be wiped out by the elves. If the few top casters do not want to be surrounded and wiped out, The only option is to flee.
Of course, the emergence of Mythra is a huge variable, which changes the shape of war. In the future, war will be a war between various war weapons, and the importance of spellcasters will be reduced to a secondary position.
This is why the Seven Towers can’t wait to invite countries to visit the new Severington in this year’s snowmelt competition before it is completely completed!
No matter how many reasons there are on the surface, it will not change the essence of the demonstration.
But Mithra is not omnipotent. Even the new technologies and theories that Shado brought back from the projection plane of the Red Heart Alliance are not omnipotent. Otherwise, the Red Heart Alliance would unify the main plane in that projection plane.
Although no elven country in the main plane has found the Dragon Madness Lock Control Center yet, other than this, their trump cards are far more than those elven countries in the projection plane of the Red Heart Alliance.
After all, in the projection plane, the Red Heart Alliance was established earlier. It also participated in the excavation of the war relics in the North and found many ancient heritages. There was little left for other countries.
The war relics in the north of the main plane have basically been cleared by the existing elven kingdoms, and no one can tell how many things have been obtained.
That is to say, the competitive atmosphere in the North was not strong in the past, and the elven countries have been in the stage of resting on their laurels. But once Netheril rises, the elves will naturally not treat it as invisible.
The current centralization reforms in Yeerlan and Comanso of the Northland Alliance are proof of this. Internal unification and centralized power means that the ability to mobilize various resources has been qualitatively improved.
And this can basically be equated with development potential. Xia Duo often says that he lacks time for development, but in fact, the current elven countries also lack time for development.
Only Netheril is still slimmer now, even though there is Mythra, but so what? It is simply a fantasy to win the competition between countries and civilizations with just one powerful weapon.
Fortunately, due to the opportunity brought by Soman, the new covenant order has emerged. Although this new covenant order still has many shortcomings in Xia Duo's view, it is a unified order after all.
Only under a unified order can progress and healthy competition be possible, otherwise internal friction alone would be enough to sap most people's enthusiasm.
Ye Erlan may have noticed this, so he emerged at this critical time point and tried every means to maintain the strongest influence in Netheril.
As Brod said, Ye Erlan promised him the conditions for building Zenis into a ground trade hub. What he was sure of was that Brod, as a student of Iolum, would make concessions for the overall situation.
The surface trade hub is indeed good, but the development of Xenis relies largely on trade with Ascor, and Ascor is the important trade hub in the North, whether on the surface or underground.
