Chapter 2538: Revisiting the Transaction

Finding a liaison alone is enough to give Xia Duo a headache. Currently, both Daxia Territory and the Tower of Time are in a period of rapid development. It is truly not easy to spare someone with a flexible mind, and Xia Duo is also a bit reluctant to let anyone go.

Of course, this does not mean he will not do it just because he is reluctant. If an official, legitimate intelligence agency cannot even spare a single liaison, that would be too much of a failure!

……

As the assembly concluded, the lords from various regions began to return to their territories one after another. However, the councilors remained in Seventon for the time being, either to build connections, discuss cooperation, or negotiate affairs.

Xia Duo had originally planned to return to Nan Jing with Niya as soon as the assembly ended, but he was kept behind by Badijiaer. Needless to say, he knew the Seven Towers must want to talk about the previously deadlocked Floating City transaction.

It just so happened that Xia Duo also wanted to delay for a few more days. Over in Nan Jing, Laidun had already made several trips to the Tianshui Three Planes. Under the vigorous promotion of the recruitment team and Puman's endorsement, a large number of people from the Three Planes wanted to join Daxia Territory.

Migration is currently being stepped up. Originally, he intended to go back to help bring people out personally. Now that the Seven Towers have stepped in, he can openly and honestly extend the handover time for the Portal, which is enough for Laidun to get things done.

Inside the Council Building, in the Illuminati Parlor.

Xia Duo, Niya, and the Seven Towers' Badijiaer and Huo En sat on opposite sides. Since he had been invited, Xia Duo did not take the initiative to speak, merely focusing his attention on the teacup at his side.

Xia Duo did not speak, and naturally, Niya would not say anything. The so-called "husband sings, wife follows" was not quite like that. Panxinfan'er wore a wry smile and signaled for Yiner to speak, but Yiner, having had an unhappy parting with Xia Shao last time, felt a bit unable to let go of his pride at this moment.

It is a very simple principle, just like brothers dividing family property. How one's own brothers divide it doesn't matter; even if they break each other's heads, it's fine. But if an outsider also wants to come and take a share, that is an entirely different matter.

It is not just a problem of subsequent usage; the construction itself is also a problem. Yet, these problems seem to be non-existent in Xia Shao's Mythallar.

Wanting to find a habitable plane in the vast Ether Interlayer that is comparable to the Main Plane and has no powerful forces within it—such a good thing probably only exists in dreams.

And if one is lucky enough to find a habitable plane comparable to the Main Plane, whether that is actually good luck or bad luck is still hard to say!

Hearing Saivendun'er say this, Xia Shao felt a sudden joy in his heart. Come to think of it, Panxinfan'er's attitude is relatively sincere. After all, he does not know much about the plane exploration technology possessed by the Seven Towers, and it is difficult to judge whether it is the latest.

"Having no desires makes one strong!" "Lord Xia Shao, just at the assembly that just ended, Saivendun'er announced that they will return the base of Xinsikumu and dismantle a Floating City that is already nearly half-built. During this period, the Seven Towers will lose a large part of their deterrent power. If the Floating City transaction mentioned by Lord Xia Shao before still holds, I think we can have a good talk."

"Of course it is for the Seven Towers to share. Regarding this, I think Lord Xia Shao need not worry. We will trade with you in the name of the Seven Towers. Just as I said just now, if it is not limited to the latest technology, I can agree to it right now."

Last time, when signing the alliance in the Pioneering Hall, he felt embarrassed to talk to Xia Shao, but this time he had to. Saivendun'er had already announced the return of the Xinsikumu base, so what should the Seven Towers do about their Floating City?

It is not that the Seven Towers lack the ability to artificially create a new city base, but after experiencing an assassination incident, the Seven Towers have an extreme craving for mature Mythallar technology.

The Floating City is not important, and even those special War Spells are not important; the Seven Towers can find other substitutes. Only the Mythallar—the Seven Towers truly have no other way.

This is just like the current Main Plane; if an Other Plane force suddenly arrived, saying their home was gone and they wanted to settle in the Main Plane, even if the Main Plane currently has a large amount of ownerless land, the existing forces of the Main Plane would most likely not be willing to agree.

Moreover, there is also a problem of Mythallar compatibility. Elven Mythallars are, after all, built using Elven Magic. Although the essence of magic is unique, this does indeed pose compatibility problems for Netheril Magic.

Of course, when negotiating conditions, one must ask for an exorbitant price and pay back the money on the spot. As long as it is possible, he still hopes to obtain the Seven Towers' latest plane exploration technology, and if it can be demanded from Badijia, it will make him feel even more comfortable.

Thinking of this, the last bit of awkwardness in Yiner's heart disappeared. He also thought that if this transaction regarding the Floating City (Mythallar) could proceed smoothly, the Jilan High Tower might also be able to use this opportunity to cooperate with Xia Shao again.

"If Lord Yiner says so, does that mean you refuse the conditions I proposed earlier?"

Because most of the goals had been achieved beforehand, Xia Shao's current state of mind can be said to be very relaxed. It is true that he wants the Seven Towers' plane exploration technology, but this technology is not that urgent for him at the moment.

This made the Seven Towers have even greater expectations for Xia Shao's Mythallar, not to mention the remote meeting that was one of the topics of this assembly, and the other type of Communication Mythallar mentioned by Xia Shao. All kinds of situations reveal that Xia Shao has already mastered a more advanced, or at least more suitable, new Mythallar technology for Netheril.

After experiencing the Tianshui Three Planes return incident, Xia Shao finally understood: without the Main Plane, even if he found ten or eight more habitable planes, it would be useless; the plane's carrying capacity is completely on a different order of magnitude.

Thinking of this, the corners of Xia Shao's mouth could not help but rise slightly. He asked Panxinfan'er, "Is the Seven Towers preparing to trade the Floating City as a shared asset, or something else? If it is for shared use, why should Badijia not have to pay? If it is for the exclusive use of the Gustav High Tower, then my conditions can be changed a bit."

"So there is nothing to talk about?"

Without a doubt, Xia Shao's Floating City had the ability to mediate the Siluwende war, which must mean the Elven Mages could not find any obvious flaws, at least it was more mature than the Mythallar the Seven Towers built in Sikumu.

Before looking for Xia Shao again, the Seven Towers had already talked with the Sluwen ambassador, wanting to try to obtain mature Mythallar technology from Sluwen. The result was as expected: Sluwen almost unhesitatingly refused.

"This—" Yiner hesitated for a moment. Saivendun'er finally found an opportunity to speak, "Lord Xia Shao, regarding your request for the Seven Towers' latest plane exploration technology, it is not that it cannot be discussed. Actually, if you are not limited to the latest, I can agree to it right now, but to get the latest, we still need Badijia to loosen his stance."

As long as it is better than what the Tower of Time is currently using, he is actually very satisfied.

Therefore, although Xia Shao still treats discovering new planes as a long-term plan, its importance is not what it used to be. That is why he can now easily manipulate the Seven Towers.
