Chapter 1014: Komanso's Suspicions, the Second Stage of the Trial
So far, Shado is still in the midst of trials, and he thinks that nothing has gone wrong, and that everything is happening as he expected.
Of course, this is only a trial after all, and behind this is either some reactions are preset in advance, or it is controlled by a high-level mage in real time, and it will definitely not be able to completely simulate reality, and it must be simplified a lot.
But from another point of view, this also means that Xia Duo's approach has satisfied the senior mages who presided over the ceremony and witnessed the trial, at least not to the extent of opposing and then suspending the trial.
……
After a few rounds, Xia Duo has gradually figured out the routine of the trial, but changes have followed.
"King, the crown king of the Northwest Lisi Kingdom has once again summoned us to question whether we are bent on expansion, and ask us to immediately withdraw from the neutral zone between the two countries as a buffer."
To quit or not to quit?
Xia Duo thought about it, this so-called Northwest Lis Kingdom is a reflection of the Akora Kingdom in this projection plane.
Originally, this large area was called the Riskal Forest, but after the destruction of Uveron, the forest was divided into two parts, the smaller one was the Akora Kingdom, and the larger one was distributed by Jaylenstad and other forces that were now going to merge.
However, the name of the Riestal Forest was inherited by the smaller forest.
When it comes to history, the Akora was founded hundreds of years earlier than Jalenstadt, and in addition to the Elven Court, it seems that the Kingdom of Akora is more representative of this Ristar Forest.
For this reason, the Akora side is very resistant to the unification of the Ristal Forest, at least they believe that they should also unify it, not belong to a living Comanso.
From this, Xia Duo understood that his trial was about to reach the second stage.
Since the crown king of Osens predicted that the future crown king of Komanso would unify the entire elven world, then for the elves who want to pass the trial, the Ristar Forest should be just a piece of cake.
Even the Rystal Forest can't be unified, so how can the entire elven world be unified?
Shado didn't know how the Comanso crown king of the main plane had passed the trial, but it was clear that almost a thousand years had passed, and the akoras still existed.
Not to mention, there is also Ilpharang, which is separated by Nessreal and Yerlan to the west, this ancient country that survived the Crown War, although it is also the country of the Golden Elves, they have always had a great hatred for the Erevanda who hurt them.
And the Comanso of the main plane is undoubtedly dominated by the golden elves, and it is the hiding place of many remnants of Erevanderda.
In fact, there are not a few hiding places like this, after all, in its heyday, Erevander almost unified the entire elven world.
Even Ilfarang, who survived the War of the Crowns, was in a state of slaughter of high-end forces and enslavement at the bottom.
It's just that later, the leader of Erivanda was too ambitious, and began to secretly clean up the high mages who threatened the rule of the empire, and after the matter was revealed, he received a backlash from almost all the high mages.
This is also the origin of the last Crown War.
In fact, there is another elven state on the main plane that is closer to Erivanda than Comanso, and that is Sruvend, but this country was effectively defeated by Yerlan and became a vassal of the latter long before Comanso was founded.
Ilfarão did not show much hostility towards Sluvend, on the one hand, Sluvender was no longer a threat, and on the other hand, Comanso was too high-profile.
From this point of view, the Cormanso crown king of the main plane not only failed to complete the unification of the Richstar Forest, but also laid a hidden danger for the division of different races within the elves.
At this point in the trial, Xia Duo really couldn't figure out how the Cormanso crown king of the main plane, Kaifum Elisel, passed the trial!
Unifying the Ristal Forest is beneficial to Comanso, if it can really be done, it will not be done, and now there are only two possibilities, either the trial of the projection plane and the main plane is different, or the trial and reality are too far apart.
Even if unity can be achieved in trials, it may not be possible in reality.
However, Comanso on the main plane has a tendency to follow the old path of Erivanda's "elf imperialism" and does not advocate harmony among races, which is obviously very different from the trials that Xia Duo is currently experiencing.
In the projection plane, although Erevanda has been falling apart for thousands of years, and the elves' impression of Erevanda has improved a lot, it is not so good that it forgets history.
Especially for the High Mages, they certainly don't want to live in an empire like that.
Therefore, even if most of the high-ranking people in the Ristar Forest are golden elves, there may be a bias towards golden elves, but no one will mention the reappearance of the glory of Erivanda.
In Earthly parlance, this is called "politically incorrect."
So, what happened a thousand years after the establishment of the main plane, Comanso, that would be so different?
The only explanation is probably that the content of the main plane and the projection plane Excalibur trial is different!
This may also explain why, before Chado, the projection plane of Keffam Elisel, failed and died.
……
Returning to the trial itself, if the first stage is to test whether the trialist has the basic ability to govern, then the second stage has already reached the trial of unifying the Riestal Forest.
Direct conquest is the fastest way, and it can be fought, but it is not the best way, not to mention being directly judged to fail, at least it will leave a belligerent impression on the high mages.
I don't know how many trials there will be, but what if this is the straw that breaks the camel's back!
Moreover, this is not the style of kings, and it is actually not in line with Xia Duo's intentions.
In his hometown, there is an old saying that "the way of a king lies in educating all directions", Xia Duo agrees with this sentence very much, and he is very disgusted with unjust wars.
Therefore, for the second stage of the trial, he wanted to take a more royal approach, and it was also a case of real success in his hometown.
After careful consideration, Xia Duo issued the latest order-
"Exploration in the north-west direction has ceased for the time being, but there is no need to withdraw from the land already occupied by us;
"Secondly, the Academy of Magic was entrusted to prepare a communication and transmission plan between the Kingdom of Taal and the Kingdom of Lis;
"Thirdly, led by the trade consultants, representatives of domestic merchants were organized to visit the kingdom of Lis, focusing on recording its relatively scarce materials;
"Again, order the Second Theater of the Capital to step up the creation of a work on the major resolutions of the Elven Court in history, especially the highlight moment of the Akola representative at the meeting 600 years ago when the countries of the Ristal Forest Forest fought against Zour;
"Finally, contact the Grand Elder of the Elven Court for me, and ask him to invite the foreign affairs advisor of the Crown King of Lisi to visit Taal in the name of the Elven Court."
……
After the series of orders were issued, Xia Duo paused and thought for a moment before ending the round.
Then, the scene changes and a new round begins.
