Chapter 536: New Meaning of Divine Grace, Negotiation

The Divine District of Severington, more precisely the Divine District of the New Town, is said to be a district, but in fact there is only one great god of the Lord of Radiance, and the others are god-related outbuildings.

Such as the residence of the clergy, training grounds, relief stations, courts, etc.

There is also an area in the Old Town that can also be called the Divine District, but the Lord of Death is enshrined there, and in general, people are more accustomed to calling it the "Mausoleum District".

After judging that the exchange meeting was under the great god, Xia Duo was deeply incredulous and immediately contacted Niya, and Niya did not sleep at this time, she immediately replied.

"I didn't calculate the exact location, if it's really under the great god, it's a bit strange, I'll ask Belera."

It's not that there is anything to do, but this problem is not clear, Xia Duo is always uneasy, Belera is from the Gilles Tower, and Nia is a student of the princess, so he can naturally easily contact the other party, he waited for Niya's reply, while casting a spell to create an arcane energy crystal.

It's still less than the size of a grain of rice, and the mosquito's legs are better than nothing.

Throwing the arcane energy crystal into the space, Niya hasn't replied yet, Xia Duo has started to check the state of the arcane fire again, and after four or five days of advancement, his arcane fire is quite stable, and the only shortcoming is probably the complexity of the string of the magic net.

This determines whether Xia Duo can unfold the redundant magic net strings and cast spells similar to magic net casting, which is still a bit too cumbersome to cast spells purely with arcane energy.

It's just that he also asked Niya about the String of the Magic Net, and Nya replied that there is no way to actively change the String of the Magic Net, and can only wait for it to increase, extend, and become more complex on its own.

The Strings of the Magic Web is both a runner and a reservoir of energy, and is almost the most precious possession of an Arcanist.

Compared to it, the Ao Neng Crystallization is a bit worthless.

After a few days of exploration, Xia Duo has a general understanding of the state of his arcane fire, and he also has a general idea of the string of the magic net, the upper limit of arcane energy, and the consumption of spellcasting.

It's just that the number of experiments is relatively small at present, and the specific quantitative genus has not been able to be calculated, but Xia Duo believes that it will not be long before he can come up with an Olympian fire upgrade system.

Of course, this upgrade system can only be used for information display, and it does not really allow him to upgrade.

Just thinking about whether to pause the "feeding" with the space and use all the energy for experiments, Nya replied-

"Belera told me that there is a small god of the goddess of magic under the great god, and the exchange meeting is held there, and Gu said that it is possible to get the goddess's divine grace by communicating magic there."

"Really?" Xia Duo didn't think a little of his mind was moved.

In the past, he felt that the divine grace was useless, but he felt that he would definitely be able to upgrade and did not need to rely on the divine grace, but when he really understood the situation of the Aohuo, he felt that it was not bad to have the divine grace, at least he could get a glimpse of the next layer of magic net to instantly increase the complexity of the Arcane Fire.

It is equivalent to increasing the complexity of the Strings of the Magic Net, as well as the upper limit of the arcane energy that can be accommodated.

Of course, for an arcane like Xia Duo who has the potential to continue to level up, it is not worth it to deliberately pursue divine grace, but this way of trying your luck at the exchange meeting is still good.

Maybe one day you accumulate more, and you can really go up to the next level directly.

"I just asked other people, and they all know this information." Nia's voice suddenly became a little muffled at this point, "We don't know if we came from these small places, and we don't know how much information like this is!" ”

“……”

Indeed, this kind of information similar to common sense is usually not specifically recorded, unless it happens to be encountered, otherwise you don't know if you miss it, hearing that Nia's thread is a little low, Xia Duo also has a sense of urgency in his heart, maybe he should also stay in Severn.

But after a turn of thought, he rejected this idea, what is his share of standing here? The husband of the Grand Arcanist's apprentice? Chado was reluctant to stay in Severton in such a way.

In addition, there is the responsibility of a pioneer, and he has not been invited to join the Severynton Parliament, which also shows that the pioneer career has not been recognized by the princess, and he needs to continue to work hard.

Giving up hastily may directly anger the princess, which is something that several students' husbands can't make up.

"Don't underestimate yourself, how many Arcanists are in their early 20s, and how many are students of Grand Arcanists? You think so, how do you let other people live? ”

"I didn't underestimate myself! I just think the mages in small places are so pitiful. ”

After saying that, Nia left another proud short "hum".

Xia Duo tentatively sent another sentence of "Rest early", but there was no response, Xia Duo shook his head and began to wash until he lay down, and Nia's reply came.

It is also a phrase "rest early".

……

In the middle of the night, when most people were already resting, the Naese Palace was still brightly lit.

In the reception hall, Princess Thea, Master Gretta, as well as a number of clerks, staff, representatives of the Seven Towers, and even representatives of the Austrian Alpha Federation, sat on one side of the negotiating table, facing straight ahead.

On the other side of the negotiating table was not real, but just a projection of a group of elves, among whom the representative of Comanso, the High Mage Suveris, who had also appeared in the arena during the day, was listed.

It's just that now, the elves don't seem to be in a good state as well as Nesser's side, and the elves led by them keep frowning, and this time Nessera doesn't know why they suddenly became so strong.

Coinciding with the expiration of the once-in-a-decade trade agreement, Nesser's demands this time were mainly two-fold, one was to increase the trading volume of high-grade Mithril, and the other was to increase the art transaction tax.

The former doesn't matter, anyway, I don't know how many high-grade Mithril is imported into Nesseril in the form of art every year, and increasing the official trading volume only clarifies this form.

However, the latter directly hit Comanso's income in an all-round way, and the art was not only Mithril products, but wooden, stone, or other metal artworks were traded in larger quantities and more profitable, because the vast majority of the elves' output was classified in the art category, and the premium was extremely high.

And more importantly, this kind of deliberate tax on Comanso's art will inevitably hurt Comanso's influence, and those human beings can't tell what is Comanso art and what is Yerlan art, as long as it is elf, it will be easy to replace it in the long run.

Influence, the invisible and untouchable, is sometimes the deadliest thing.

……

The Comanso negotiators couldn't accept the increase in the transaction tax even after thinking about it, and he knew that the country would definitely not be willing to classify the goods in detail and divide them into non-works of art that did not require the increase in the transaction tax, and it would be better to count even the finished Mithril ingot as works of art.

But Nesser's side bites the bite and wants to raise taxes, even if he threatens to reduce the volume of Mithril transactions, Nessera will not back down at all, which makes it difficult for him to do it.

Even as a high-ranking mage, it is impossible to do anything that harms all the elves in such a negotiation, unless he is willing to take responsibility himself.

It is impossible to think about the past decade and to be responsible for trade losses in the next decade.

The scene could not be stalemate forever, and the representative of Comanso, who was temporarily at a disadvantage, had to take the initiative to speak:

"Your Majesty, I suggest that the negotiations be postponed, the conditions proposed by your side are not within my authority, and I must discuss them with the country."

In fact, what he wanted to do more was to find the reason why Nessera was so strong, and if he broke it, the negotiation would naturally come as he wanted.

On the other side of the negotiation table, Princess Xiya smiled, "Since you have asked for this, in line with the principle of friendship, of course our side will not refuse, and I hope that the next negotiation can go smoothly." ”

Komanso's request to postpone the negotiations was exactly what she expected, and any trade agreement would be completed smoothly, and there would even be a secret war.

Only this time, Comanso's side was about to make a mistake, she already knew that Comanso was at war with Drow, and she couldn't deal with it at all.

In addition, Ilfarrang's side has agreed to trade Mithril, and there are quite a few of them, and even the Mithril refining method can be discussed.

The only thing she regrets now is that she didn't have contact with Ilfaron a few years ago, and of course, the situation in the early years may be different from the current one.

The world is so complex.
