Chapter 3005: Words Unfavorable to Unity Should Not Be Said
When Badijiaer proposed this motion at the meeting, the local councilors were almost all silent, while the councilors from the Tianshui Three Planes, on the contrary, showed joy on their faces.
However, the Council has its own rules; even if the councilors from the Tianshui Three Planes could account for more than half of the total number of councilors, appearing to have formed a mainstream, in reality, they still could not get a certain resolution passed.
Because the required number of votes for passage is not only more than two-thirds, but it also requires that the number of opponents does not exceed one-fifth.
Currently, the Seventon Council has a total of 51 councilors, and one-fifth is ten; as long as ten people firmly oppose it, nothing can be done.
At present, the local councilors, including the Seven Towers, can also account for about half, and now, the silence they have shown regarding the issue of ownership of new planes actually already speaks volumes.
The reason they did not immediately express opposition is likely because they are considering which ten people should play the villain!
Seeing this situation, Xia Duo knew he could no longer sit still; once someone took the lead and allowed voices of opposition to appear one after another, this motion would likely be aborted.
"Everyone, I know that some people have already verified the Ether Boundary Exploration in the data from Xisulaitisi after returning yesterday, and I am the same; that is indeed a highly efficient way of Plane Exploration."
"But precisely because I have verified it myself, I realized how simple the discovery of new planes will become in the future. To speak bluntly, with the Mythallar I possess, I could have marked a considerable number of new planes in advance before today's meeting."
"I believe that in this regard, no one can surpass me."
"Furthermore, the future is a very long time; if you occupy all the new planes discovered, will the councilors who come later be willing?"
Furthermore, having returned to the Main Plane for so long, I also hold respect for Pulitamu. At this moment, hearing Pulitamu's reminder, I also took the opportunity to stop speaking; in any case, I had not finished saying what I needed to say.
"If someone really wants to turn the originally public new planes into their own private property, then you can each rely on your own means. The Main Plane is not that small, and the collaborators may not only be Netheril. Moreover, I think Xisulaitisi would not want the road home to become someone's private property, right!"
"This is not because I am so noble, but because I know well that the occupation of new planes cannot be so simple and crude. Now that I have only proposed such a hypothesis, some people are already angry. If I really did that, would you, or others who heard about this, sincerely recognize my ownership of those new planes?"
"If we occupy all the new planes as our own, then is the construction of the Cross-Domain Teleportation Link to be abandoned? If it is not abandoned, what kind of scene will it be when the node planes are determined and it just happens to select the planes you occupy?"
"It won't, and accordingly, I will not recognize you occupying a large number of new planes without paying any price. If this new technology were developed by yourselves, the Arcane Union would have long had a resolution in the past, and there would indeed be patent rights."
After saying these things, Xia Duo deliberately paused for a moment to observe the expressions on the faces of the other councilors, and sure enough—"Some people are angry! But I didn't do that!"
And now, the councilors of the Main Plane seem to want to engage in their own small actions outside the Plane Exploration Center, turning new technologies that should have been used for public undertakings into shortcuts for their own private gain.
But the more this is the case, the more Xia Duo must insist on his own point of view.
The rest depends on everyone from the Main Plane.
Among the councilors of the Tianshui Three Planes, with Lamani taking the lead, others also spoke up one after another; some further refuted the unreasonableness of the old rules based on Xia Duo's exposition, and some tried to propose new rules.
His well-reasoned speech naturally received the support of the councilors from the Tianshui Three Planes, and Lamani was the first to stand up and express support:
It is conceivable that doing so would not help the construction of the Cross-Domain Teleportation Link in the slightest, but would instead become a huge obstacle to this project.
"The reason is very simple: we have no experimental grounds and no experimental facilities. Although the Seven Towers is willing to provide them, it requires us to conduct experiments under their supervision, so many of us refused."
What will happen in the future is even harder to say.
"But now, the new technology was not developed by any one of us, but came from Xisulaitisi, and the direct reason he provided this technology was to help the construction of the Cross-Domain Teleportation Link."
Not to mention anything else, the project has not actually started yet, and just by seeing more possibilities for the discovery of new planes, Netheril was almost in internal strife.
"You must know that our current number is uncertain, while the number of future new councilors is fixed, but it is almost certain that their number will inevitably exceed ours."
Just now he was worried that someone among the opponents would take the lead and let voices of opposition appear one after another, so now he was the one taking the lead as a supporter first, and the subsequent scene was predictable.
Such an attitude is no different from a betrayal of his active "defection." If this kind of thing were really allowed to succeed, wouldn't he be a pure clown!
Although Yiaole's words were a bit intense, they also raised a new reason for opposition, which is how Xisulaitisi would view this after knowing about it!
Xia Duo also specifically pointed out the Seven Towers, because the councilors of the Seven Towers had also been silent just now, and their expressions were very intriguing, as if they thought they had already occupied an absolute advantage and it was just right to determine the absolute authority of the Seven Towers in one fell swoop.
The person who reminded Yiaole was Pulitamu, and Yiaole, even if he had never had the experience of getting along with Pulitamu in the past, had more or less heard of the person Pulitamu.
Maybe after Xisulaitisi knows about this, he will find a way to seek cooperation with the Elves!
"It is even possible that a few more habitable planes will pop up on the side of the Seven Towers, and then dozens of Great Arcanists will jump out; I wouldn't feel strange at all."
The most intense was Yiaole; at yesterday's meeting, he clearly supported the establishment of the Plane Exploration Center and even proposed to take all his subordinates to participate in it actively.
"Councilor Xia Duo is absolutely right! In addition, I will add one more point: most of us councilors from the Tianshui Three Planes did not verify that data after returning to the temporary residence yesterday."
People are single-mindedly thinking about returning to their homeland, but as a result, the Netheril side started small actions when the project only had a slight clue, wanting to turn all new planes into private property.
"What I want to say is that we have no foundation in the Main Plane, and the conditions of the Tianshui Three Planes are also very limited. If you all in the Main Plane rely on the new technology provided by an outsider to completely monopolize the ownership of all new planes discovered in the future, I will be the first to express opposition!"
Therefore, under such circumstances, Yiaole had no retreat at all; he almost criticized them by name as soon as he started. Although he did not name them directly, those who listened knew he was talking about those people.
"Councilor Yiaole, speak with caution! Do not say things that are unfavorable to unity!"
"Although this is not a scene that can be encountered in the near future, as long as the construction of the Cross-Domain Teleportation Link is not abandoned, this kind of thing will be encountered sooner or later. Will we have to argue again then?"
Finally, Yiaole even laid down the words—
