Chapter 955: Political Ecological Balance, Half-Plane Field
Becoming a lord, theoretically, in the Nessera state system, you can already be on an equal footing with the princess.
The title of "princess", after the transfer of royal power, is only a symbol of honor and has no actual power.
Princess Thea's identity in the current Nethrel system should be the Lord of the Seven Towers Group - Gilles Alliance - Nesser (family) Lord, and the other Grand Arcanists of the Seven Towers also have their own lordship identities.
In Nesser, the vast majority of lords have a strong connection to the Seven Towers, and some still have vassal relationships to this day.
Some of them have been disconnected from the Seven Towers Group for a long time, have fewer contacts, or have paid some price, and no longer have any vassal relationship, and have become independent.
Others are the more general pioneer mode, which has been independently developed and established from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the Seven Towers Group, of course, if you want to choose this mode in the past, you must at least be an archmage to be qualified.
But even so, the first lord can easily trace the relationship between the characters related to the Seven Towers when he traces it upwards.
Like the Savile Collar.
Savile is an independent pioneer and has no direct connection to the Seven Towers, but he is a student of Iolem, and although Iolum also developed and built a territory independently, it can still be traced back to his relationship with the Seven Towers.
He was born in a civilian family in Severton, and theoretically can be regarded as a subject of the Nexe (family) territory, the Gilles department, and his subsequent study experience has always been in Severnton, and he is inseparable from the Seven Towers.
However, no matter how much a lord has a relationship with the Seven Towers, they are all members of the Council of Severington, and theoretically they are all on an equal footing with those Grand Arcanist Lords.
Of course, when dealing with daily affairs, you can't call all the lords together to deal with it, there must be a representative, and this representative is the Seven Towers.
This is somewhat similar to the difference between the Xia Duo Township Committee member and the Standing Committee member.
And this is also the real reason why the Seven Towers maintain the legal system of the Sevilton Parliament.
As for the ordinary lords, they will basically only maintain this system more than the Seven Towers, and the real dissatisfaction may only be a few people in the Arcane Federation.
Most of the capable people can become lords and share in the real power, while the less capable people may have recognized the status quo and accepted the reality.
The rest are either very self-conscious, or extremely capable and ambitious enough to challenge the current relatively stable system, and there are always few such people.
……
After learning about the various contents of the territorial documents, Xia Duo not only had a clearer understanding of his current situation, but also had a comprehensive reflection on the current political ecology of Nesser.
Not to mention anything else, just knowing the true meaning of lord status, he understood that those powerful spellcasters who did not obtain lord status must have all kinds of secrets on their bodies.
Of course, this does not mean that becoming a lord will be fine, but it is just that the lord will maintain the existing system such as the Council of Severington.
As for whether or not to safeguard the overall interests of Nessreel, it is not necessarily.
In essence, the lords are still for themselves and for their own territories, which is also the premise of the existence of the Severynton Council, which recognizes the independence of each lord and territory.
On the premise of ensuring its own interests, there will be the overall interests of Nessreel.
Ordinary lords don't have to be narrow-sighted, they just "don't plan their politics if they are not in their position", as long as they take care of themselves.
The Seven Towers have the position of leadership, so they naturally have to assume the responsibility of leadership, and be a good coordinator of the relationship between all parties, as well as the defender of the overall interests of Nesser.
And during this period, the Seven Towers obtained some due benefits that could also be accepted by other lords.
Otherwise, if it were only forcibly suppressed by violence, the Severynton Assembly would have fallen apart long ago.
All in all, the current Nessera is a relatively complex, but also relatively stable, dynamic equilibrium state.
It is not difficult to upset this balance, and even force is not a necessary condition.
As long as you prove to the entire lord of the Council of Severant that he can do better than the Seven Towers, then that's fine, and no one will not support someone who can bring more benefits to themselves.
Theoretically, if a person has excellent talents, he can completely open up a country.
Of course, in reality, if you are not even a Grand Arcanist, then who is qualified to participate in such a big event!
Or just engage in a small conspiracy and become a little joke after dinner for the real power.
After understanding this, Xia Duo knew that only by becoming a Grand Arcanist could he truly have a stage for his own performance.
……
The way back from the Severton Assembly to the Gill Tower, Chateau walked slowly, even more than the two of them spent walking around the Old Town when they arrived.
However, Nia didn't say anything, just silently followed him, and when the magnificent Gilles Tower almost hit Chador, he came back to his senses, stopped, and cast an apologetic look at Nia:
"I'm sorry, I was too preoccupied with thinking about things just now."
"It's okay, do you figure it out?" Nia said.
"Not yet, but you can think about it slowly!"
After saying that, Xia Duo laughed and pulled Nia into the Gilles Tower.
……
After that, the two of them went to see Archmage Wauyd.
Archmage Wauyd looks like a kind old man, and after seeing Xia Duo and Nia, he also behaves very kindly, and after some greetings, he can be regarded as getting to the point:
"The two of you should already know that this New Year's celebration is being held at Offa Square, but there may be some changes in the details."
There are some changes?
Xia Duo didn't quite understand what Archmage Wauyd meant, but it didn't matter, he didn't need to ask, so Archmage took the initiative to explain:
"The official celebrations that followed, as well as the rehearsals that preceded them, took place in the half-planes, except that on the day of the celebrations, the half-planes would overlap with the square of Offa."
Huh-
That's it!
Xia Duo immediately thought of the previous snowmelt competition, in which the spell duel was placed in the half-plane, and that half-plane overlapped with the area where the battle platform was located in the center of the arena in the new town of Severten.
With this arrangement, this upcoming New Year's celebration doesn't look like it will be very calm!
Is it to prevent the time from breaking up and destroying Severton?
Of course, Xia Duo didn't ask this directly, but he still kept a few more eyes, and when it was time for the rehearsal, he had to take a good look at what was going on in this so-called New Year's celebration!
"Your Excellency Woyde, we are ready, take us to the celebration rehearsal!"
"Young people are just anxious! Okay, let's go to the half-plane first, and then we'll talk about it the same over there! ”
With that, Woyd cast a teleportation spell directly in the reception room, in front of Xia Duo and Nia.
