Chapter 1493: Eastern Proverbs, Verdant Tower Alliance
A relatively clear version of the independent arcane fire device has been set, so that everyone's goals are clearer, the project is no longer procrastinated, and Xia Duo is more motivated.
As for the new achievements of the Davy string project team, they will be temporarily sealed as a reserve technology, which can be used when the independent Austrian fire device is updated in the future.
……
In the evening, Xia Duo went to the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce as promised, and the location of this meeting was changed to the Spring Hall, perhaps he felt that he was not entertained well last time, but this time Xia Duo was arranged for a dinner party as soon as he came.
During the dinner, Jenna talked about how she met Horn, and laughed at the misunderstanding: "It turns out that Horn has thought I am the daughter of Master Byron for so many years!" ”
"And does he intend to ascend to the gods in the business world?"
"No, it's just some adjustments made by the Kieran Tower to the Affiliated Chamber of Commerce in order to cope with the new situation of the underground war, as you said, the words are opened, and the misunderstanding will be resolved naturally. But—"
Speaking of this, Jenna deliberately paused, then raised her wine glass, stared at the slightly trembling wine inside, and said as if with resentment:
"But Horn suggested that I go to the Arcane Federation to update my personal information, so that I can't hide behind the scenes in the future, do you think this is a loss or a gain?"
"Of course it's earned, the creed of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce is 'integrity-based', and there is a similar saying in my hometown, but there is also an additional sentence of 'harmony is precious', and it is more important than anything else to resolve a possible conflict."
Jenna nodded, thoughtful, while Xia Duo continued: "As for whether it is hidden behind the scenes, in fact, I also have a different opinion on this point? ”
"Oh? What's the view? ”
"Hiding behind the scenes can certainly get a first-mover advantage that is difficult to get by standing in the foreground, but in my hometown, there is a very famous proverb called 'sit in the well and watch the sky'!"
"Sitting in a well and observing the sky, wouldn't you only be able to see a small piece at the mouth of the well?"
"Yes, we have been hidden behind the scenes, and the perspective will be limited behind the scenes, as one of the few pioneers of Nessreel, if we don't even have the courage to face our opponents head-on, then how can we succeed?"
In fact, there is another sentence that Xia Duo did not say, that is-if you have been hiding behind the scenes, it may make people accustomed to all kinds of conspiracies and ingenious means.
When it really comes time to deal with it head-on, it may wilt.
Lu Xun once said, "Those who have achieved great things with conspiracy have never existed in ancient times", whether it is the road to ascension to the gods in terms of individuals, or the road to prosperity in terms of organizations and countries, it can be called a big thing, and it is impossible to take advantage of it.
"You have a point, but I have a question now-"
"What's the problem, President Jenna, please say!"
"I've met a lot of Orientals in the past, but they aren't as eloquent as you, can you tell me why?"
"Haha! President Jenna thinks too much, you can't ask an apprentice who is new to magic to argue with a mentor of high prestige, can you? ”
Xia Duo used the apprentice mentor as an example to actually talk about the high and low status, he himself didn't think that anyone's status must be high and whose status must be low, but in Nesser, even if they are both apprentices, they will be divided into high and low!
As soon as Xia Duo said this, Jenna immediately understood, no matter how eloquent the Orientals she had seen in the past were, if she didn't have an equal status with her, she might not have said anything, but—
"I'm becoming more and more interested in your hometown, I've seen the ancient and mysterious 'Eastern Country' mentioned in the elven literature before, I always thought it was the imagination of the elves, but now it seems that the Eastern Kingdom is indeed mysterious! Can you tell me about your hometown? ”
"Of course you can, if President Jenna wants to hear it, it's just that I'm just an ordinary person in my hometown, and there are many secret things that I can't touch, I hope President Jenna can understand."
Xia Duo said a lot of prevarication, but the attitude was sincere, but it was not annoying, seeing this scene, Jenna no longer insisted, "Then forget it, I hope that one day I can travel to the mysterious eastern country in person." ”
"I won't let you down."
……
In the time that followed, the two began to chat, from the underground war to the increase in the price of materials on the surface, until it was close to midnight, Xia Duo said goodbye and left.
The next day, discussions continued on a new plan to integrate the mechanism of the Ao Neng field, and by noon, during the meal, Chateau and Brod were still in heated discussions.
Although Iolem rarely spoke during the meal, he also listened carefully, occasionally nodding in response, and Luo Wei and the others could also intervene from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After lunch, Iolem suddenly said: "There is something going on here in the Austrian Federation in the afternoon, so I won't go to the laboratory, you guys will discuss it first!" ”
"Teacher, is there anything you have to deal with in the Austrian Federation? Isn't it okay to leave it to the directors of Hechenis? ”
"Another Grand Arcanist has been born, do you think I should go?" Eolem gave Broad a blank look and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Xia Duo hurriedly asked, "Is it President Jenna of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce?" ”
"Well, I know about Jenna's situation, there is another one this time, it is the elder brother of Director Kabor, Kroos of the Southern Verdant Towers Alliance, and he has just submitted the latest information." Iolem explained.
"Cross? And Jenna? ”
Broad on the side suddenly shouted in surprise, fortunately, these two people have already made their identities public, otherwise the biggest source of leakage may be him.
Iolem didn't blame Brod for making a fuss, he was surprised by it, Jenna forgot it, he knew it for a long time, but Cross was different.
The Southern Verdant Tower Alliance is an alliance of interests led by the Verdant Tower, united by more than a dozen mage tower organizations, and based on many territories in the South.
In this alliance, veteran arcanists are not uncommon, and the only thing missing is a grand arcanist who can become the spokesperson and leader of the alliance.
In the past, it was agreed that the closest person to a Grand Arcanist was Lord Hawke, and he did become a Grand Arcanist.
However, the Emerald Tower Alliance did not think so, and they always believed that the next Grand Arcanist must be from within the Emerald Tower Alliance.
In addition to the Alliance's presence of a number of high-profile Arcanists, a more realistic issue is that the Verdant Tower Alliance is in dire need of a Grand Arcanist.
But unfortunately, the reality is often unsatisfactory,
First Lord Hawke, then Skum of Gilles' Tower, and gradually, the outside world's insistence on the Verdant Tower was more like a joke, and this situation even affected Iolum to a certain extent.
I thought that the potential of the Verdant Tower was about to end here.
Unexpectedly, just a few days after Xia Duo's identity was revealed, Cross submitted an information update, is this an accidental breakthrough under the expectations of the public? Or does it have to be made public?
Iolem prefers the former, but why does it have to be Kross and not the others, maybe there are other Grand Arcanists hidden in the Verdant Tower Alliance.
But in any case, as long as the other party does not make it public, then it is treated as if the other party does not exist.
