Chapter 2517: Envoy of Yimaska

And on the other side, Seventon.

To ensure that no accidents would occur during the next day's Midsummer Festival, Badijiaer summoned his follower Aodisi once again to inquire about the security of the Arcane Plaza, the site of tomorrow's Covenant Ritual.

"Is the renovation of the Arcane Plaza without issues?"

"No issues!"

Facing Badijiaer's inquiry, Aodisi said without hesitation:

"We completed the renovation three days ago, and all techniques used are mature techniques of the Seven Towers. Over these past three days, we have conducted extensive testing on it; it is absolutely foolproof!"

"What do the security consultants of the Northland Alliance say? Did they participate in the testing as well?" Badijiaer asked again.

Because of the recent assassination attempt on Xia Duo, the Seven Towers were extremely sensitive to Demon Descendant attacks, but regarding the issue of Demon Descendants, Netheril itself did not have much accumulation, so Badijiaer chose to seek help from the Northland Alliance.

The so-called security consultants were actually experts from the Demon-born Intelligence Office, an agency specifically established by the Northland Alliance to deal with the increasingly severe Demon Descendant problem.

Netheril had also sent people to help establish this brand-new agency, and this time, at the request of Netheril, the Demon-born Intelligence Office specially dispatched a group of experts with deep research into Demon Descendants and Magic Energy magic to serve as security consultants for the signing of Netheril's New Covenant.

Mentioning those experts, Aodisi did not hide his praise, nor did he avoid the role of those experts when reporting; he told Badijiaer:

"The security consultants of the Northland Alliance provided us with many valuable suggestions during the plaza renovation process, and they even participated in the subsequent tests personally.

"The techniques of the Seven Towers themselves do not have any major problems, it is just that our understanding of Demon Descendants in the past was truly too little. After the reminders from those security consultants, we have now initially established an early warning system for Demon Descendants as well as a protection and countermeasure system for encountering Demon Descendants.

"These experiences can be used not only in tomorrow's festival but also in the future when the Seville Mythallar is rebuilt or the protection system is renovated."

"Very good!"

Badijiaer stood up with satisfaction. He patted Aodisi on the shoulder, looked at him with loving and expectant eyes, and still said solemnly:

"But having these external objects is not enough; the human factor cannot be ignored. Never lower your guard. You must treat guarding against Demon Descendants as a routine task—do it today, do it tomorrow, and do it every day thereafter!"

"Yes, I understand."

Aodisi's expression was resolute, and he responded to Badijiaer with equal solemnity. Only then did his expression relax slightly, and he looked at Badijiaer with hesitant eyes, "Then—Uncle, may I go now?"

"Wait, there is one more thing I almost forgot to mention."

Badijiaer called Aodisi back, picked up a document from the desk behind him and handed it to him, then urged: "This is the list of envoys from various countries attending the ceremony tomorrow. There are still a few people who haven't arrived yet, but they will definitely arrive in Seventon one after another before tomorrow. You go take a look later, and once they have all arrived, visit them in turn to confirm the procedures for tomorrow's festival and the Covenant Ritual with them."

Aodisi took the document and flipped through it quickly. Seeing two relatively unfamiliar names, he immediately asked curiously: "I know Calimshan; Jilan Tower has cooperated with them before, and Lord Xia Duo has also had dealings with Calimshan in the south previously. I can understand them coming to observe the ceremony, but what is going on with Yimaska? I remember that Netheril and Yimaska have never had any contact, right?"

"I am also very surprised, but from another perspective, isn't this exactly a manifestation of Netheril's expanding influence?"

Badijiaer cracked a rare joke, and then revealed the inside story of why Yimaska sent people to observe the ceremony, "This time Yimaska sent people over, ostensibly on the recommendation of the Ambassador of Cormanthor, but I have already met that Prince Aben privately. He said that he had already met Xia Duo before and had a relatively pleasant cooperation.

"In fact, Prince Aben coming to Xilu this time is not just because of Netheril; to a large extent, it is because of the establishment of the Northland Alliance. In just a few short years, the landscape of Xilu has undergone tremendous changes.

"Prince Aben is here this time representing the Master of Craftsmen and Grand Emperor of Yimaska to establish diplomatic relations with the countries of the Northland Alliance, and at the same time, to discuss with various countries how to deal with the crisis of the collapse of the Dragon Madness Mythallar."

Hearing this, Aodisi asked subconsciously: "Has the climate anomaly caused by the collapse of the Dragon Madness Mythallar already affected Yimaska?"

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

At present, the one most affected by the climate anomaly is Netheril, followed by Cormanthor and Yierlan. Other countries may also be affected, but under the cover of their Mythallars, this problem has not become prominent.

In addition, the cold-resistant seeds made public by Master Eriwen at the Ascension Ritual not long ago have also to some extent dissipated the impact of the crisis in Xilu.

But whether the climate anomaly has spread to Yimaska, Badijiaer is not entirely certain, "Prince Aben did not mention the crop harvest situation inside Yimaska, but I guess there should be some impact, more or less. Just know this, don't go around talking about it."

"Mm, I understand." Aodisi nodded thoughtfully.

The Seven Towers had always been relatively passive in dealing with the Dragon Madness Mythallar crisis in the past. The main reason was that the Dragon Madness Mythallar itself was an Elf creation; apart from knowing about a climate anomaly, the Seven Towers had almost no other relevant data.

Moreover, there was a very critical problem here, which was that Netheril was a human kingdom. Even if they found the data, it would be very difficult to conduct research independently, and ultimately, they would still need to cooperate with the Elves.

And for a super Magic Creation like the Dragon Madness Mythallar that covers the Main Plane, the benefits generated by research are unimaginable. It is still a bit too thin for just Netheril, a human kingdom, to participate in it alone. If Yimaska joined, that would be even better; as fellow human kingdoms, there is naturally a better foundation for cooperation.

There is also Calimshan in the south; they could also be invited to join. After all, the crisis of the collapse of the Dragon Madness Mythallar is something that every country living on the Main Plane must face.

In fact, within the Seven Towers, the priority of solving the Dragon Madness Mythallar crisis is actually higher than the Demon Descendant problem. After all, the claim that Demon Descendants could subvert the Time Line is too bizarre; the Seven Towers have not reached a unified opinion on it to this day, and a considerable number of people are skeptical.

Coupled with the fact that Demon Descendants themselves have an irreconcilable hatred with the Elves, Netheril does not need to be so proactive.

On the contrary, regarding the Dragon Madness Mythallar, the climate anomaly has already affected domestic crop production, and it is unknown what will happen later. The Seven Towers know too little about the Dragon Madness Mythallar, so they naturally hope to gain something on this issue.

Afterwards, Badijiaer gave a few more instructions before letting Aodisi leave. He himself did not stay idle, but continued to maintain close contact with multiple lines, paying close attention to all intelligence both at home and abroad.
