Chapter 1144: Everisca, Internal Discord
There is no interest involved in these issues, and that is why there is no basis for negotiation.
For example, the final signing location of the Northland Alliance when it was formed.
Most of the elven kingdoms hoped that it would be in the elven court, but Ilfarão did not agree to put the final signing place in the elven court from beginning to end.
There are three claims of Ilfarang, one is Elinthal, the capital of Ilfar, one is Severton, the capital of Nessriel, and the last is the neutral city-state of Evrysca, an elven city.
Danzo, on the other hand, did not have any requirements for the signing location, and only hoped to get assistance from various countries as soon as possible.
Of course, there are also such things as the common language of the alliance, the location of permanent institutions, etc., although the Northland Alliance is only a loose alliance organization, these issues do not involve direct interests, but the indirect impact is also very far-reaching.
With all parties unwilling to budge, the Northland Alliance negotiations have reached an impasse.
Among them, the attitude of Nessreel plays a very important role, and in addition to Danzo, the Northland countries are the strongest in the four countries of Comanso, Jerlan, Ilfarang, and Nessreel.
And the relationship between these four countries is also very complicated -
The hostility between Comanso and Ilfaron was the deepest, followed by Nessreel; Nesserel has the closest relationship with Ilfarang, followed by Yerland.
As for the relationship between Yerlan and Comanso, it is not very close, the first point is that Yerlan is too far away from Comanso, too close to Ilfaran, and although he has gradually drifted apart from Nesserel, he is also full of ambiguity.
It is almost impossible to forcibly pinch these four countries.
And if the four countries do not participate in the alliance, the alliance itself will not make much sense.
Not the five countries of the alliance (including Danzo), but the alliance of the five countries!
……
In the reception room, Prince Pasteur pleaded again: "I hope that Your Excellency Badigal can help persuade Ilfarang, and Danzo will not forget the contribution of the Seven Towers." ”
"I'll think about it."
Hearing this, Prince Pasteur's heart suddenly cooled in half, but then he heard another sentence - "But I will give you an answer today".
Prince Pasteur was overjoyed, and with his knowledge of the Seven Towers, if he hadn't made a decision, he wouldn't have left such a spare.
At the same time, combined with the current situation of Nesseril, the possibility of agreement is very high.
"Thank you, Lord Badigarh!"
……
After Prince Pasteur left, Badigar did not bother to rest, and immediately informed the rest of the leaders of the Six Towers that Drow might be hoarding demons.
In a short time, there were six more projections in the reception room, and after a while of discussion, the seven Grand Arcanists urgently summoned Lucian, the ambassador of Ilfaran.
As soon as they met, Badigarh broke the news, "Danzo may not be able to hold on!" ”
"How is this possible?"
Lucien suddenly showed a look of surprise, "Elinthal has been sending supplies to Danzo through the Raven River, how can they not hold on?" ”
Badigar repeated the information that Prince Pasteur had just provided, but Lucian still didn't believe it, saying, "This must be a plot by Comanso to make us make concessions in the Northland negotiations." ”
Badigar and the others exchanged glances with each other, and then Randall spoke, indicating the attitude of the Seven Towers, "The negotiations of the Northland Alliance cannot be delayed any longer, and our side has decided that as long as the alliance venue is not in the territory of Comanso, it will be acceptable." ”
In fact, the venue here also includes the issue of the location of the permanent institutions of the follow-up alliance.
When Randall said this, Lucien immediately realized that Nessera had probably accepted Danzo's persuasion, which he had expected, but he did not expect it to come so quickly.
"Could it be that Nesserel is also inclined towards Everesca?"
"It's not where we gravitate, but now, besides Everesca, is there a place that can be accepted by many parties?" Badigarh asked rhetorically.
In fact, in the end of the negotiation, the biggest difficulty was that Comanso was unwilling to give up the Elven Court, and at the same time, the Elven Court was the most desired venue for the rest of the Elven countries except for Ilfarang.
At this time, Randall also persuaded: "If the venue is placed in Everesca, Yerlan may not continue to support Comanso, this is a win-win situation for all parties except Comanso."
"If Ambassador Lucien does not have the authority to make a decision, I hope you will pass our opinion back to Elinthal as soon as possible."
"Let me think about it." Lucien lowered his head and thought quickly.
For Ilfarang, it was undoubtedly the most advantageous to be in Erinthal, but it was also undoubtedly the least acceptable to Comanso.
Correspondingly, the Elven Court is also the most unacceptable to Ilfarang.
As for Severton, which Nesser had previously advocated, there would hardly be any other country unified except for Ilfarang, and now it seems that all parties have taken half a step back, and Comanso has a good ending.
It's just that in this way, my own merits are much less!
Lucian had been convinced that Comanso would make concessions for fear of Drow breaking out of the surface, but this was only the ideal scenario, and no side wanted Drow to break out of the surface now, including Ilpharang.
After thinking about it for a while, Lucian was still reluctant to bet on whether Comanso would give in comprehensively, after all, he couldn't afford the consequences of losing the bet.
Although there is less merit now, the risk is also low, which may not be unacceptable, but the specific details need to be carefully considered.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since the situation underground, Ilfarão will naturally focus on the overall situation, but I need to report this matter to China before I can give you an official answer. In addition, when it comes to the negotiation table, you and I need to discuss it again. ”
"Yes." Badigar exchanged views with the group, then nodded and looked in the direction of the door, suggesting that Lucian could leave.
Lucien immediately understood, bowed, and left.
……
After Lucien left, the projection of Randall and the others did not disperse, but the matter of the Northland Alliance was temporarily concluded, and it was only then that Badigar thought of asking Scum about the follow-up of the results of the investigation into the cause of Cliff's death:
"Magner, did they go to the Gill Tower for a review?"
"Magna went, the others didn't." Scum looked ugly.
Magna was going to go for a review, which was obviously a distrust of the Seven Towers, and the thought of another Hawke that hadn't been solved made his mood even worse.
"By the way, Hawke just mentioned the Northland Alliance negotiations at the meeting, do you say he was commissioned by Prince Pasteur, or was he instructed by Comanso?" Scum said meaningfully.
"Whatever? Anyway, now that the overall situation has been decided, it doesn't matter what his purpose is, let's just do ourselves, I'm tired, let's go first. ”
Harris replied casually, and the projection was lifted, and the rest of the group left after him, including Badiggar.
In the end, only Scom's projection was left hanging in the reception room, and Scom's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
He looked at the location where Harris's projection had just been, and there was an inexplicable glint in his eyes.
"Humph!"
Subsequently, the projection disappears.
