Chapter 1246 Reset your mood and let go of the past
"But hasn't she been sleeping soundly?" Linn asked a little puzzled, "The storm caused by Talos during that time has been blown by the big iceberg countless times, and she didn't feel it at all.
I thought Oluel was not really hiding in the sea of ice floes outside Icewind Dale as rumored!
Wasn't she always in the big glacier in the Damara Kingdom to the east?"
"If she had stayed there, she would have been found by Talos long ago." Hill smiled, "Although she was born in Damara, that country betrayed her long ago after she was weakened by Talos."
"Although it's a bit ugly... it's reasonable." Lin En thought for a moment before saying, "Evil gods, the weak always make concessions to the strong, without any reason."
He walked over and glanced at the information on the table... He didn't care what happened in the north. Linn, who was notified by Martha and saw the information, of course came up to divert Hill's attention.
Lynn gently put a hand on Hill's shoulder, bent down and said with a smile: "Now Oluer should have completely taken the cold and winter to himself, right?
The beautiful and lovely goddess Aglaia, are you willing to accept her existence?"
"Aglaia will not care about the Toril pantheon." Hill laughed, "But if she returns to the neutral camp, we will also welcome her to Luskan.
After all, there is her temple outside the city!
The undead are definitely willing to have a new god to cooperate with, they can even deal with Umberli!"
Hill has already reacted... Lin En must be more concerned about the battle in the star realm than Oluer.
My friend got the news and was afraid that he would be sad, so he came all the way.
He patted Linn's hand gently to indicate that he was fine... After so long, these things were no longer harmful to him.
On the contrary, after knowing the truth, Hill was relieved about some things... Sometimes he always wondered if he gave Alice too much freedom, what if... That time, when the two cats decided to leave Anyi together When I went to start my own business in the valley, wouldn't it be better to forcefully leave Alice behind?
This information told him the result... No matter whether Alice falls in love with Merkel or not, the final outcome will be tragic.
If he hadn't come to Toril and found the truth with the undead... the story of the White Wolf God and the Lake Goddess might have been repeated in Trasil every ten thousand years.
Even if the Earth Goddess knew something was wrong, with her always loving character, she could not kill all the monsters running on the earth.
"The pain of the past...can't be changed." Hill said softly, "I just hope that it can be cut off in the future."
"William has sent invitations to all good and neutral-to-good archmages through the Harper Alliance, and I have also agreed to make a vacant lot next to Aglaia Magic Academy available to them as a research center." Linn lowered his head to comfort him. , "We will definitely find a way to remove those magics.
Although the former goddess of magic had many shortcomings, she had a saying that has always been a truth recognized by the mage world... There is no spell effect that cannot be dispelled, and there is no spell that is absolutely invincible."
Hill smiled and nodded: "I understand. Well... since William issued the reward without asking us, it seems that he plans to provide the test materials himself.
Then...leave it to me for the research center!
Daily necessities are also provided by Aglaia and can be taken from my warehouse."
"The warehouse in the city hall is already very wealthy." Linn turned around and walked to the side and sat down.
"Needless to say, this is my private matter and there is no need to ask the public treasury to pay for it.
Let’s just talk about the bits and pieces of things in my warehouse. What’s the use besides selling them for money?
But what do I need those scattered gold coins for?" Hill blinked and said, "If you don't have to be self-sufficient..."
“A healthy city must have a constant flow of money so that residents can have the belief that they can have a good life by working hard.
No matter who you are, you can only live a healthy and happy life if you see your own value." Lin En shook his head, "If I rely entirely on you to support me, I will only raise a group of listless lazy people... Hill, elves have extraordinary abilities.
A painful lesson learned.
Why did so many elven empires treat Lansander as their guest?
Isn't it just that life is too easy, too... normal? All the time outside of eating is spent playing... The reason why elves are emotionally confused is also related to their constant pursuit of changes in life.
Especially those elven nobles.
I can't reach it upwards, I can't see it downwards, I just want to find excitement.
In the end, the lives of hundreds of millions of elves were simply stimulated.
If it weren't for their crazy pursuit, and they were more pious than the voters of the Lord of the Dawn... Lansendel's bullshit plans wouldn't be so easy to carry out... No matter how rich the Church of the Lord of the Dawn was, it would not be possible to achieve success in just a hundred years.
Collecting those precious materials is just a dream.
Many people say that AO plotted against the Lord of the Dawn and the Elf Empire, but I quite agree with what my Miriel said: AO never imagined that they could really accomplish this.
That's why we had to resort to such ruthless measures when things came to a head.
Otherwise, AO actually doesn't like to show his presence. Although he designs various things behind the scenes, he rarely stands at the front desk.
Usually... just watching the people and gods of Toril struggle with their fate, no matter what the outcome is, for him, it's 'the worst thing is to do it again'.
I know that you have never thought about raising the citizens of Aglaia together... But, Hill, if you know that no matter what, there will be money provided by you in the city warehouse to support it, there will always be people who give up their efforts.
The common people in Faerûn are not as good as the elves. At least they will pursue an improvement in the quality of life besides food and clothing.
Although I don't want to feel inferior, although the current Aglaia looks prosperous, it is actually not as good as Silvermoon City in many aspects.
That elegant and plain artistic style was slowly developed by Alustriel over hundreds of years.
For us in Aglaia, if we want to get to that point, it will take decades no matter how fast it is. That's because the residents are basically from the good camp and are easier to manage."
Hill tilted his head: "Are there already so many civilians here?"
It's not that he doesn't understand this truth, but the initial residents of Aglaia were basically professional families, and most of the refugees were arranged to farm in villages outside.
He clearly remembered that there were only a few thousand people?
Has it developed to this point in just a few years?
"You hands-off shopkeeper!" Lin En turned his head and said eloquently... It seems that he gets along well with the undead.
Hill smiled and spread his hands: "Ah, who let me have a capable mayor?"
Lin En shook his head helplessly: "Several cities have been destroyed in the Sword Coast!
In the hearts of civilians, Aglaia is the only safe place, and everyone who can come comes to us...Those who know that they are not qualified and don't want to fight with orcs every few years basically go to Bo
The Gate of Virtue.
Only those who are not afraid will go to Luskan.
Therefore, the number of civilians is already nearly 50,000."
Hill gave him a confused look: "A lot?"
Lin En closed her eyes helplessly: "Is it possible that you have had too much contact with the undead and no longer feel the problem of numbers?
I remember that Trasil's population wasn't that big either!
If you don't count the outsiders in Silver Moon City, there are only 40,000 residents in the city!
In Toril, if any city has more than 100,000 people, it can be called a megacity.
Otherwise, why do you think Waterdeep was called the City of Eternal Glory?"
Hill scratched his head: "Ah, probably because I have always lived in the countryside. In my own territory, except for the undead, the number of humans does not exceed 10.
So I don’t really have a feeling for the urban population.”
Linn suddenly paused: "Forget it...Aglaia City is my business."
Hill must have discovered that there was bound to be a conflict between Corellon and Mystra, so he purposely took himself, a half-elf from the High Forest, away before anything happened... Otherwise, his fate might not be as good as that of Azuth.
son.
There have always been many people competing for one position in Silvermoon City, not to mention that Forest Town allowed him to manage it very well... There is such a thing as peach picking in any world.
The more prosperous the place, the easier it is to get them. After all... the number of peaches is already small. Of course, people will grab the big, round and delicious peaches.
In the past, Linn had nothing to fear with the two factions of singers and elves behind him.
But if Mystra falls out with those two factions, he will be the best target.
That's why Lin En worked so hard to build Aglaia City... He would never let his friends' hard work go in vain.
Hill stood up: "Then... let's build that research center? Does William have any design drawings?
I know this place is very important, but if you ask me to design it, I have no interest at all."
"He sent over several drawings. Just choose one. I don't think there is any difference. It's either a ring-shaped building or a diamond-shaped building." Lin En took out a few pieces of paper from his ring and showed them to him.
