Chapter 2511: Characterization, Transaction

"The Seven Towers hopes you will remain silent on this matter and defer to the content publicly announced by the Seven Towers and the Northland Alliance. In exchange, they agree to temporarily place the portals to the Tianshui Three Planes in Floating City Chang'an."

The Northland Alliance's announcement has already been issued, and they will not be too concerned with Xia Duo's thoughts; basically, the various countries will negotiate and discuss how to phrase it, but the Seven Towers must consider the impact of Xia Duo's words being inconsistent with their announcement.

Therefore, they had Yinaole come ahead of time to give a heads-up. Xia Duo expressed his understanding of this; in fact, this was a consensus formed during the previous New Covenant negotiations, but the sudden assassination incident caught the Seven Towers off guard.

"Then what is the Seven Towers' characterization of this incident?" Xia Duo asked.

This needed to be clarified, otherwise, if the Seven Towers added their own private agenda at will, would he have to continue to remain silent against his conscience in the future?

Yinaole saw Xia Duo's concerns and took out a document prepared in advance, "Most of the content remains consistent with the Northland Alliance, only the part regarding Yierlan has been deleted."

"After all, the trail of the Demon Descendants only ended within Yierlan, and there is no absolute evidence to prove it is necessarily related to them. Considering the future relationship between the two countries, the Seven Towers decided to delete the relevant content."

"Understandable."

Xia Duo nodded. If it were him doing it, he would likely do the same. Moreover, although this incident was triggered by Yierlan's desire to join the New Covenant, the assassination itself was, in the final analysis, a trick he had staged himself.

There is indeed a basis for cooperation between Yierlan and Netheril, and the conditions proposed by Yinaole to continue the status of the Old Covenant within the New Covenant cannot be said to be anything less than generous.

In fact, there was another Arcanist Xia Duo had identified, not the Chief Advisor of the Ming Shui Chamber of Commerce, Saide; Saide also came this time, but he had no intention of revealing his identity at all.

As Xia Duo expected, almost all senior Arcanists are potential Arcanist candidates; the only difference is whether they choose to reveal their identities.

And besides the characterization of the assassination incident, this time the Seven Towers' public announcement also mentioned the Tianshui Three Planes, as well as the opening times and methods for these three planes.

Not to mention that the coordinates of the Tianshui Three Planes had already been parsed by him from the prophecy visions; even if they hadn't, those three planes had reached the verge of opening by now. It was merely a matter of who would build and open the portals.

Especially Puman, who was originally from the Tianshui Plane and a descendant of the Pioneers; tears had unknowingly welled up in his eyes. The Tianshui Plane still maintains its initial state of pioneering today.

"Yes, when they let me come over, they gave it to me in advance, and even said that regardless of whether you agree or not, these three coordinates are to be handed to you first."

Most of the high-level Mages of the Tower of Time, and even the immigrant teams led by Yilaidun and Jiake summoned from the Territory, were already busy to the point of chaos at this moment.

The Mage Consultant to the Lord of Kangqi City, who was registered as a senior Arcanist at the Arcane Union, Saituo Kangsilialuo.

Installing and activating a portal is not a big deal in itself; the portal in Hengchun Square has long since ceased to be a novelty, but what is being opened now is the portal to the Tianshui Three Planes.

Three openable Habitable Planes—although most of those in the know do not understand the true situation of these three planes, this does not prevent them from looking forward to the prospect of traveling to, living in, or even settling in these three planes after they open.

And in Xia Duo's Floating City Chang'an.

Before today, even within the Seven Towers, only a few people knew of the existence of these three planes, and even fewer had been there in person. But today, everyone remaining in Yierlan knew.

Now that there are three more Habitable Planes, there is a strong trend of celebrating the Midsummer Festival within Chang'an City.

And as these people move within Netheril, this news will surely spread throughout the entirety of Netheril.

If Yinaole had no prerequisites when proposing these cooperation matters, then for Netheril, that would be the best thing possible.

It can be said that these three planes will eventually fall into Xia Duo's hands, whether the Seven Towers are willing or not.

"How generous!" Xia Duo said without irony.

This incident was the work of Demon Descendants.

On this day, apart from Xia Duo, who was still "recovering from his injuries" and appeared in the form of a Projection, almost all of Netheril's Arcanists, including Niya, were present, and even a new Arcanist emerged—

Although these cooperation efforts may not see any hope of landing in the short term, they can also serve as a direction for future efforts. After all, while competition will exist in the future Northland Alliance, it is actually dominated by stability and development.

Of course, the fact that the Seven Towers were willing to hand them over in advance also shows that they still have a bit of sincerity in this matter, or rather, they have already attained the resolve to hold the moral high ground.

In any case, the official Netheril statement on this matter has already been released: it was indeed the work of the Demon Descendants. Any other conspiracy theories or rumors are purely civilian behavior and have nothing to do with the authorities.

To use that person's words—he has already retired, so he won't be meddling in these minor matters.

Besides this, there is also Saville, who did not reveal his identity. For the time being, only the Arcanist, Bailun, knows his identity outside the Tower of Time. Kangjienio might also know, but Kangjienio did not appear at this Plane Connection Ceremony.

With historical significance completely different from ordinary portals, the Seven Towers specially held a Plane Connection Ceremony.

Yierlan.

"The Plane Connection Ceremony begins now!"

Seeing that Xia Duo had agreed to the Seven Towers' conditions, the Arcanist once again took out three Arcane Crystals, inside which were densely condensed several Arcane Geometry Diagrams. Xia Duo's eyes lit up immediately upon seeing them:

As for Yinaole, he did not mention a single word, but regarding the rumors about Yinaole that had been spreading wildly in Yierlan over the past few days, the Seven Towers did not make any clarifications.

Although Saituo Kangsilialuo was somewhat surprised, considering that the other party had often been active as a senior Arcanist, it was not too abrupt for him to suddenly become an Arcanist at this moment.

Badijiaer's speech began from the situation of Netheril several hundred years ago, continuing to the discovery of the Tianshui Plane and the sacrifice of the Pioneers. The most realistic historical details were recounted, and everyone present wore a solemn expression.

……

After the Arcanist returned from Chang'an City, the Seven Towers officially issued an announcement to the outside world in the name of the Yierlan Council, characterizing the assassination incident—

Preparing for war and famine, supporting the Main Plane at any time—but those were the vast majority of ordinary people. Most Spellcasters already knew the situation of the Main Plane and wanted to return but were blocked by the Seven Towers for various reasons. The current time node was the end of the first month, and the Midsummer Festival was approaching. Although the assassination incident had caused ups and downs, the overall atmosphere in Yierlan was still relatively relaxed and happy.

【Stable novel app running for many years, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, a source-changing app used by all old bookworms,】

Although it was in Xia Duo's Floating City, the first to speak was still Badijiaer. Of course, this was also considering that the New Covenant was about to be signed, and if nothing unexpected happened, Badijiaer would be the first Speaker of the new Yierlan Council.

……

And if one wants to carry out large-scale cross-plane migration, besides the David String Portal, is there currently any better plan?

"Are these the coordinates of the Tianshui Three Planes?"
