Chapter 2185: Many Help the Righteous, Few Help the Unrighteous

The official representative sent by Shafeier to attend the Alliance Assembly this time was Prince Yinbeike, the biological younger brother of the contemporary King of Shafeier; perhaps this speech was at the request of Keman, or perhaps it had been arranged well in advance.

However, his speech did not contain much that was new; it merely conveyed Keman's attitude toward the issue of territorial demarcation from the perspective of an ally of Keman, facilitating further elaboration by Jialanuode, who was to follow.

And after Yinbeike, Enjier did indeed call upon Jialanuode to speak, though by this time, after two rounds of attrition, Jialanuode no longer possessed his earlier impatience.

He was seen rising slowly from his seat with a calm expression, his gaze sweeping across every representative in the hall; when it passed over the Crown King of Eaerlann, it paused for only a fleeting moment before quickly moving away.

"Everyone, Keman has always followed tradition, viewing the people as the cornerstone of governance. The efforts that Crown King Yinlise'er has made in the past for the 'Five Races Equality and Prosperity' should be something that everyone present has witnessed with their own eyes."

"As for this opportunity for territorial demarcation, our side's attitude is very clear: as long as it is conducive to maintaining the stability of the Northland and as long as it is conducive to perfecting the Alliance system, we are willing to put forth twelve times the effort."

"The so-called 'Empire Fantasy' is nothing more than groundless slander by petty people who do not understand the profound righteousness of our King! The so-called 'racial superiority' is also nothing more than malicious speculation by base commoners without status against those noble ones who possess heritage and glory."

"Here, I would also like to advise certain countries not to rely on the simple situation of a single ethnic group within their own borders to wantonly interfere in the complex national conditions of other countries."

"If you truly identify with 'Five Races Equality and Prosperity', what you should be doing right now is not pointing fingers at other people's business, but rather quickly abandoning the use of a single ethnic group as an excuse to reject the normal entry and settlement needs of other ethnic groups."

"Of course, if you only identify with 'Five Races Equality and Prosperity' in words, while in practice you use a closed, single ethnic group to place yourselves above other countries, then I can only say that you have won; you have successfully let the various countries of the Northland see a unique drama of double standards!"

After Jialanuode finished speaking, there were not many people in the hall who paid attention to this main speaker who had just finished; almost everyone, whether intentionally or unintentionally, turned their gaze toward the location of the Eaerlann delegation.

Or more accurately, they let their gaze fall upon Crown King Luoruian.

Xia Duo was no exception.

To tell the truth, he was indeed a bit surprised by Keman's attitude; although he had received word before the meeting, it was only after hearing Jialanuode say the words of support himself that it could be considered certain.

【To be honest, I have been using Wild Fruit Reading to catch up on books recently. The source switching is good, and there are many reading voices.. wildfruitreading works on both Android and Apple.】

However, the point Jialanuode mentioned about Eaerlann using its own conditions as a closed, single-ethnic state to demand that other countries fully realize 'Five Races Equality and Prosperity' was indeed a bit excessive.

In fact, Xia Duo had always been curious in the past: how exactly did Yinerfalan maintain the proportion of Gold Elves within its borders? The convenience of personnel flow in a magic world is no worse than in modern society, especially in the Elf Kingdom.

It is a common occurrence for Elf families to migrate from one country to another; if they are not migrating to another country but going to a land without an owner, they can even establish a brand-new country, just like Yierlan and Shaerwen did.

If there was no "racial prejudice" in Yinerfalan as Crown King Luoruian just mentioned, then why is the proportion of non-Gold Elves always so low? Shouldn't a large number of non-Gold Elves who are discriminated against and prejudiced elsewhere be migrating there?

From this, it can be seen that the "double standards" mentioned by Jialanuode were not just made up on the spot.

In the past, Xia Duo had not pondered this question deeply; everything was covered up by the background of Yinerfalan's single race. In fact, thinking about it carefully, even if Yinerfalan originated from the commoner class of ancient Yinerfalan, could it be that "Gold Elf Supremacy" would not spread among the commoners?

'Five Races Equality and Prosperity' does not mean equality and prosperity among all classes. It is actually quite normal for Yinerfalan, this single Gold Elf country, to have a tendency toward "Gold Elf Supremacy".

Thinking about it this way, most of the Elf countries in the Northland are really birds of a feather! Only a few Elf countries do not have a tendency toward "Gold Elf Supremacy", but the discrimination against Druids derived from this tendency is also a universal phenomenon.

In a sense—

"This really is a world of choosing the lesser of two evils!"

Xia Duo sighed in his heart, truly not knowing what to say. The more it was like this, the more he realized the purity and preciousness of Daxia Territory, and at the same time, the more he could foresee the setbacks and blows he might encounter in the future.

But regardless, the Northland Alliance has already been established and is still constantly improving; the future is still infinitely bright!

……

Logically speaking, after Jialanuode finished his mockery, Yinerfalan should have immediately struck back, but Crown King Luoruian sat as steady as a mountain without moving a muscle; while the onlookers were relieved, they could not help but feel a little disappointed.

After Jialanuode, Enjier called upon the Evereska representative again. This time, the one representing Evereska at the Alliance Assembly was Dewen, the former Grand Elder of the Council of Elders.

After Ankalita was assassinated, the Evereska Council of Elders, after experiencing a brief period of chaos, found Elder Dewen, who had long since retired to recuperate, and brought him back to serve as the Grand Elder of the Council once again.

At this time, Dewen already showed his advanced age, but his eyes were still sharp, and his speech was not vague. After decisively expressing his support for the territorial demarcation, he took the opportunity of this speech to declare the philosophy of the Small Nations Alliance.

Of course, during this time, he did not forget to bring up the "Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence" again, and this once again caused Xia Duo to receive a baptism of gazes from all the representatives.

The subsequent speeches by the representatives of various countries had no obvious traces of artificial intervention; in fact, there was no need for intervention at all, as everyone remaining, except for Dan Zuo, was a small nation.

Xia Duo, who did not discriminate against small nations, did not attach much importance to the speeches of those small nation representatives, let alone the representatives of other major powers.

The only thing with some interest was the Ailan representative, but that was limited only to the other party's identity; the other party's speech was lackluster, and the country itself would be unable to shake off Yierlan's control for quite some time.

Only Xia Duo, because he knew that Ailan might be the lair of the Demon Descendants, paid a little more attention, but it was clear that the Demon Descendants could not be so stupid as to cause any trouble at the Northland Alliance Assembly.

Xia Duo believed that even if that Ailan representative were dragged out and completely dissected from body to consciousness, it would be unlikely to find any problems, so he just treated it as watching a show.

Finally, it was Dan Zuo's turn. Enjier did not continue to sit in his seat but stood up, bowed to the representatives of various countries, and then said: "I am now speaking in the capacity of the Dan Zuo representative—"

"Dan Zuo has always maintained a neutral attitude toward the affairs of the countries on the Surface, and this time is of course no exception. But neutrality does not mean having no stance or no demands; the stance of the Northland Alliance is our stance, and the demands of the Northland Alliance are our demands."

"Territorial demarcation is conducive to the long-term stable development of the Northland Alliance. Dan Zuo will undoubtedly give its support to the greatest extent possible; in this regard, I also hope that all countries will not misjudge."
