Chapter 2805: Re-discussing the Magic Restriction Treaty

Fortunately, that Mist Region does not expand outward; otherwise, given the fact that it is currently impossible to stop, it would be a world-ending crisis even more troublesome than the Dragon Madness Mythallar.

Xia Duo and the six Researchers from the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory spent a total of three days outside the Mist Region, using various means to probe the Mist Region.

The result was that, apart from physical matter being able to enter it, no other external force could affect that region.

And the so-called "mist" was only mist in appearance; after careful examination, it was actually more like a scene or image that had been "cut" into fragments, similar to a mosaic.

Therefore, the Mist Region looked no different from before at first glance, but if one let their gaze linger for a little longer, they would feel as if that region were covered by a thin veil or a light fog.

In addition, another discovery was the peculiarity of the Magic Net in that region; the Magic Net appeared normal on the surface, and the flow of Magic Net Strings did not seem to be affected by the existence of that region, but—

The fact that spell effects could not be transmitted through it was enough to explain the problem.

This indicates that the Magic Net also possesses a deeper essence that the two major magic systems of the Elves and Netheril cannot currently explain.

This is undoubtedly good news for Xia Duo, but if such good news must be bought at the cost of a threat like the Mist Region, which would end the world if it went out of control, he would rather not have it.

But the Mist Region is already a fact, so discovering a new characteristic of the Magic Net is at least some small consolation.

……

Afterwards, Xia Duo returned to Evereska, and four of the six Researchers also returned; after all, what needed to be surveyed at the Mist Region had been surveyed, and what needed to be probed had already been probed.

What followed was analysis and research within the Laboratory, and occasionally they might go over to collect new information, so there was no need to be stationed outside the Mist Region for a long time.

And after this trip to Siluwende, the various countries of the Northland Alliance had seen the threatening nature of time-related magic with their own eyes; on the second day after Xia Duo returned, more than ten new "people" joined the Northland Alliance Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory.

Among them were two High Mages, and the rest were veteran Mages; counting those who were already there, the magic research capability of this institution had now reached another level.

At the same time, the Northland Alliance also held a new plenary meeting.

In addition to the expected agenda of strengthening the search for Demon Descendants and monitoring abnormal situations in various places, the countries also successively condemned Yierlan's behavior of refusing to share intelligence on the mist.

It was also at this meeting that the Yierlan representative agreed on the spot to synchronize all the intelligence Yierlan had previously learned about the mist; this was actually a case of locking the stable door after the horse had bolted, now that the Siluwende Mist Region had been discovered, but the various countries did not pursue it further.

Everything was for the sake of dealing with the Demon Descendant problem; that could be considered the biggest theme of this meeting!

Besides this, the Netheril representative Tili'ao also proposed at the meeting to renegotiate the Magic Restriction Treaty, which also received unanimous support from the major countries, including Yierlan.

It can be said that this proposal was the time Netheril won the most "popular" support in the Northland Alliance.

But support is support; how the treaty should be specifically amended cannot be settled in one or two meetings. The countries that originally proposed this treaty certainly could not be willing to let Netheril completely shake off the restrictions, and they would certainly think of other tricks.

The premise is to try to make themselves live as comfortably as possible.

From this point of view, the Magic Restriction Treaty, which has been implemented for two or three years, is not entirely useless; at least it has given all countries a rough understanding of the super-magic situation of other countries, and now it remains to be seen where the guillotine will fall.

……

Netheril Southland, Daxia Territory.

Xia Duo's avatar is active in Evereska, while his main body spends most of his time in the Laboratory; during this period, the changes in Daxia Territory have also been very obvious.

First is the Linshui Village-Linshui Town reconstruction project, which has already proceeded to the residential area; it is mainly composed of three communities, expected to accommodate about fifty thousand residents.

Priority is given to the original residents of Linshui Village, the families of workers in the Industrial Zone, and Territory government personnel and their families.

And the School that Xia Duo has always given hope to, or more accurately, the current Linshui Junior High School in the town, has also received the best resource investment from the Tower of Time under Laidun's special attention.

At present, it is only a matter of time before all the Magic Facilities are completed, and it will be no later than the end of this month.

In addition, there is the Village Primary School; a total of three schools have been approved for establishment so far, all using the village's surplus rooms as classrooms, and they can start classes at any time once the relevant Teacher training is in place.

……

This day, Xia Duo suddenly walked out of the Laboratory and hurried to the Government Hall in Linshui Town, finding Laidun in his office, "Call Jiefu and Kelake; we are going to the construction site."

At the same time, over at the Tower of Time, the Tower Spirit also began to issue the latest task—Evereska translation, requiring proficiency in Elvish, and the reward is the most coveted Permission Level for the Spirit Thought Network.

For a time, it sparked heated discussion within the Tower of Time, and the number of applicants was countless.

And at the construction site in Linshui Town, Xia Duo explained to Laidun and the others while inspecting, "The Tower of Time has a construction project in Evereska, and they found an Elf team to do it, but after negotiation, the other party allowed our people to follow the team to observe and learn. There are six spots in total; one is needed for translation, and you find the remaining five as soon as possible."

In Evereska, Xia Duo had already met with the designer and the design team of Ke'er Construction again; he had already seen the revised plan, and the ideas were more or less the same, with only some small adjustments made to the overall style and local details.

Xia Duo had already agreed to that plan, and the next step was construction; Ke'er Construction had already begun to take action. Time waits for no one, and Xia Duo hoped that his people could participate in the whole process to the maximum extent.

So he returned urgently to "grab" people.

"Does the Lord have any requirements for the candidates?" Laidun asked.

"The first requirement is that they are interested in working in the construction industry; secondly, it is best to have some construction experience; and finally, age—the younger, the better."

After speaking, Xia Duo walked aside alone, leaving space for Laidun and the others to find people and discuss.

……

About half an hour later, Laidun and the others found Xia Duo, "My Lord, the people have been found."

Xia Duo took a look; apart from Laidun, Jiefu, and Kelake, there were only four more people. He couldn't help but frown, "Why only four? Where is the other one?"

"My Lord, I would like to try."

The one speaking was Kelake, a former Slave and now the actual person in charge of the Territory Development Department. Xia Duo still thought very highly of Kelake and was just waiting for an opportunity to find a place for Jiefu to retire and vacate the position for Kelake.

As it turned out, Kelake actually wanted to go to Evereska to study architecture, which was somewhat unexpected to him, but after Xia Duo thought about it carefully, this was not unfeasible.
