Chapter 624: Promoting Communication, Magic Weapon Embryos

Seventon, Arcane Union Headquarters, inside the conference hall.

In the blink of an eye, the agenda items passed one by one, and soon the highlight of this meeting arrived: the issue regarding the request proposed by Giles Tower to promote 【Magic Net Background Communication】.

Just as Kangjienio finished introducing the basic situation, a Great Arcanist named "Weide" immediately requested to speak. While everyone thought he would firmly oppose it again this time, Weide unexpectedly expressed his approval.

The reason was simple: he needed Plane Crystal, and he had already received news in advance that Princess Xiya had persuaded quite a few people this time. Although it was not certain that the agenda would pass, the possibility was indeed not small.

Additionally, there was the most critical issue: Weide himself did not oppose promoting 【Magic Net Background Communication】, and was even quite yearning for more open magical exchange.

In the past, he had only firmly opposed it for other reasons; seeing that the situation had changed, he had to reconsider his stance.

Afterwards, the other six Great Arcanists of the Seven Towers also expressed their approval one after another. Although they were a small step behind Weide, it once again proved to everyone that reconciliation within the Seven Towers was far easier than making deals or compromises with others.

On the contrary, Braun, who had supported Princess Xiya last time, found it somewhat difficult to speak up this time. He could not bring himself to make such a sudden change like Weide, even though he might have been influenced by some other factors just now, leading him to say things that almost caused a falling out with the Seven Towers.

But now, was he supposed to change his stance again? Changing again and again was not his style.

Even if only for the sake of face, he could not do something like supporting them immediately after having just confronted the Seven Towers, though softening his stance slightly was possible.

Thus, Braun chose to abstain.

However, by the step where the Seven Towers reached a consensus, Braun's choice could already be said to be irrelevant.

Ultimately, the agenda regarding the promotion of 【Magic Net Background Communication】 passed in the Arcane Union with a result of 11 votes in favor, 1 against, and 3 abstentions.

Everyone knew that it should actually have been 12 votes in favor, but Kangjienio, in his position as President of the Arcane Union, was not suitable to express his stance directly.

There was also Braun, who had previously approved but abstained this time, with an ambiguous attitude, but generally speaking, only one person remained firmly opposed.

But the opposition of only one person basically could not change anything; at least four or five people would need to oppose it simultaneously for this agenda to be discussed again.

In this regard, the Seven Towers undoubtedly occupied a very large advantage; as long as the Seven Towers did not agree, basically no decision could be made, and as long as the Seven Towers agreed, most decisions could be made.

However, there were differences within the Seven Towers on many issues, which was also an important reason for the existence of the Arcane Union, but relatively speaking, reconciliation within the Seven Towers was easier.

……

After the agenda regarding the promotion of 【Magic Net Background Communication】, a few more items passed, and only then did it reach the final issue of whether to support Komansuo.

However, on this issue, the Seven Towers had already reached a consensus, and most others, regardless of their motives, also agreed, having even communicated before the meeting began.

The meeting was just going through the motions; what was truly important was the negotiation immediately following the meeting, for which the Komansuo Mianwang had specifically sent a Special Envoy to be in charge of this matter.

"Does anyone else have anything to say? If not, I will notify the Komansuo Mianwang Special Envoy to come over!" Kangjienio said at the end.

"Wait a moment!"

"Lander, what do you have to say?"

"Master Yierfalang just gave me a list of conditions that Komansuo might accept, which I can provide for everyone's reference. Additionally, he said that even if the Drow are repelled and the Magic Core is destroyed, the King-Slaying Star will not dissipate immediately, but will continue for several months."

Just as Lander finished speaking, Badijiaer sneered, "It really is 'elves are one family'!"

"Hahaha!"

The rest of the people also laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively. Everyone was even more looking forward to the upcoming negotiations.

……

Nan Jing, Savile Territory.

At noon, Xia Duo received the remaining four 【Dragon Hunting Rune】s from Buloutuo. Next, Buloutuo would not continue to forge Dragon Hunting Runes, but would forge weapons for Xia Duo.

Once the weapons were finished, he would continue to forge Dragon Hunting Runes.

Actually, 8 pieces were about enough; the Perception range of the 【Dragon Hunting Rune】 was not small. After all, judging by a dragon's flight speed, if sufficient reaction time could not be reserved, such an early warning would not have much meaning.

Xia Duo placed the 8 runes in the north of Savile Territory, the south of Daxia Territory, and the west common to both. As for other places, the possibility of dragons appearing was too low.

Especially the area between Daxia Territory and Savile Territory, which seemed quite large, had actually been combed through by people sent by Savile Territory I don't know how many times. If there were dragons in there, they would have been discovered long ago.

To the east was Konnifila City, and the possibility of dragons appearing near Konnifila City was also very low. To ensure trade, neither humans nor elves would allow overly powerful creatures to exist.

If a dragon were to attack, the most likely directions were from the west, south, and north, among which the possibility from the west was the greatest, the north second, and the south the smallest.

Therefore, Xia Duo placed 2 Dragon Hunting Runes each in the north of Savile Territory and the south of Daxia Territory, 3 in the west, and only 1 in the east, just in case.

……

Regarding weapons, according to Xia Duo's requirements, Buloutuo first forged the Flying Shuttle, because the Flying Shuttle was a Magic weapon embryo, and there were some subsequent processes that Xia Duo needed to do himself to make it a true Magic weapon.

Unlike forging 【Dragon Hunting Rune】s, just forging some ordinary objects without Magic was a very easy thing for Buloutuo when he was serious.

If it weren't for the fine grooves reserved on the surface of the Flying Shuttle for the Mithril Component being troublesome, it might have been completed in an hour or so.

When Xia Duo had finished a round at the Temple and the Military Camp, and had exchanged the latest situation with Bishop Anbulier and Keyaan, and then returned to the smithy, the two Flying Shuttles had already been forged.

Xia Duo took the Flying Shuttles and hurried back to the Tower of Time, diving into the workshop. Only then did he have the heart to carefully examine these two almost identical Flying Shuttles—

The overall shape was a sharp, streamlined form, only one arm long, and the thickest part was about the same thickness as an arm. The surface was covered with dense, tiny grooves, like some kind of strange Fuwu, adding a bit of mystery to these two Flying Shuttles.

He didn't know how Buloutuo had treated them, but neither of these two Flying Shuttles had the blue metallic luster unique to ordinary Adamantine weapons; instead, they had turned into a lusterless gray-white. If they flew at high speed, they might be even less conspicuous.
