Chapter 1408: The opposition meets, too young
After explaining the complicated relationship between Savile and Broad, Iolem talks to Shado about the Arcane Fire Device experiment:
"I've completed part of the construction of the device in the few days you've been away, and that Davy string preparation machine you redesigned is very useful and efficient, and I hope you'll take on more work for the next experimenters."
"No problem." Xia Duo agreed.
In fact, after the automatic preparation equipment of David's strings came out, he, the original magic mechanic, could play very little role.
If Iolum doesn't want him to quit the project, it's time to give him some new jobs, which is exactly what Xado has been looking forward to.
……
Due to an unexpected event such as Savile, the scheduled time of the experiment was postponed by Eolem by a few days.
How long it will take to wait for Iolum's notice, so Xia Duo temporarily stayed in Severington, and by the way, he was familiar with the configuration design of the multiple composite independent arcane fire device, so as to lay a good foundation for further experiments.
And on the other side, Yerlan.
Hildalana weighed it for several days, but finally decided that it was necessary to test Hydley.
After the last Omniscient Ritual organized by Farrow, when the High Mages deliberated, Hydley clearly showed closeness and even flattery towards Comanso.
After returning to Yerlan, Hildalana once questioned the other party, but the other party avoided her questioning on the grounds that "time will tell".
Now in Yeerlan, the crown king advocates the centralization of power reform, and has won the support of most of the senior mages, but there are also a small number of senior mages who have clearly expressed their opposition.
Among them were Hildalana and Hydley.
It's just that although Hildalana opposes the centralization of power by the crown, it does not mean that she has to give up the big basic plate of Yeerlan for this reason, and she will fight without breaking it and be consistent with the outside world, which is her bottom line.
At the same time, it is also the bottom line that most of Yerlan's upper-ranking families adhere to.
But Hydley seems to have violated this bottom line and has been implicated in Comanso, which makes Hildalana feel dissatisfied and at the same time feel the existence of the crisis.
If Hydley eventually becomes a traitor, then their opponents may be completely subdued by the crown, which Hildarana cannot accept.
She considers herself to be the master of Yerlan, or at least one of the masters, if she still wants to submit to the crown king in the end, then why has she insisted until now?
On a volley terrace that didn't belong to the Moonhorn family or the Stardust family on the bright side, Hildalana finally waited for Hydley, who was low-key on the road.
"You're late!" Hildalana said coldly.
But in fact, from the moment she saw Hydley appear, she knew that her guess might be a little wrong, but she didn't want to admit that she was wrong, and still faced the other party with a relatively arrogant attitude.
Hydley didn't pay any attention to this, and said what he thought was necessary: "It's not too late, the king has just come to me for a reason, and wants us to give up his demands. ”
"The crown is looking for you?"
Hildaranna was shocked, she had never heard anything about this until Hydley spoke of it today.
Subconsciously, her attitude towards Hydley slowed down a lot, "Who else did the crown king find besides you?" What conditions did he make? Did you say yes? ”
"I was the only one when I went to see the crown, and I don't know who the others were, but it looks like you didn't receive the invitation from the crown!" Hydley said meaningfully.
"As long as you don't compromise with the crown, does it matter if I'm invited or not?"
"It's really not important, because the condition proposed by the crown king is that each family will remain the same for a hundred years, and gradually liberalize their authority after a hundred years, and I didn't agree."
"Why don't you agree, it's not bad to delay it for a hundred years, right?" Hildarana asked.
"Now that I have agreed, will I still have a chance to speak in a hundred years?" Hydley asked rhetorically.
In fact, strictly speaking, he is not against reforms, but only against reforms that do not see results, and against reforms that make the long-term interests of the family unsafeguarded.
If he can foresee the outcome, if he can ensure the long-term interests of the family, then what reason does he have not to support it!
It's just that Hildalana is not the same as him-
"The crown king is too strong, if he is willing to reserve a fixed seat in the advisory group for us and other high-ranking families, we will not oppose him so much!"
It is rare for Hildalana to say what is in her heart, of course, this is also the beginning of the temptation of Hydley, the centralized reform of the crown king, will greatly enhance the authority of the advisory group, which naturally includes the integrated mystery authority.
If the upper families can occupy a fixed seat in the advisory group, it is actually not much different from now, and they can still stand up or even remove the crown king when they join forces.
Hildalana hoped for this, but this was unacceptable to the reform-minded crown, and she couldn't figure out how the crown could convince so many supporters.
"No wonder the crown king didn't look for you!"
Hydley shook his head, in his opinion, Hildalana was still too young, too focused on the interests at her fingertips, and lacked the consciousness of a long-time ruler.
For a moment, he regretted coming to the appointment, but he had come, and at the same time he was very interested in the thing that Hildalana had mentioned that was enough to change the fortunes of Yerlan, so he asked:
"Hildalana, tell me, what is the reason for looking for me this time?"
"Can I trust you?" When it came to the end, Hildalana hesitated.
Seeing this, Hydley immediately got up and prepared to leave, but in the face of this situation, Hildalana suddenly let go again, and hurriedly said:
"I probably know the true meaning of the oracle!"
"What does the oracle really mean?!"
Hearing this sensitive topic, Hydley suddenly stopped, looked directly at Hildalana with a deep gaze, and asked with a very serious expression:
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
The main oracle revealed that there will be a change in the fate of the elves in the hometown of the Alabaster Tower, once this kind of thing is confirmed, the elf kingdoms will be shaken, and the war in the north will break out instantly.
The most important thing is to determine whether the change is good for the elves or not for the elves.
If it is in favor of the elves, the nations will inevitably compete for the vital messenger of fate.
And if it is not against the elves, destruction is almost the only option, and perhaps war is imminent.
The Northland Alliance has just been established, and it may collapse on its own in an instant!
Hydley's expression was serious, no matter what the outcome of this kind of thing was, it was not a good thing for Yerlan, who was now in a critical period of reform.
"What do you know? Is there anyone else you know? ”
