In fact, the elves will still maintain a respectful attitude when facing any World Tree elder. Even if they are only separated, they will still remain silent.
It is said that the silence of the world trees is very similar to dormancy. One is too lazy to talk, and the other is asleep. Or there is no difference between the two, and others cannot tell the difference.
But the dark elves are quite a strange group. In addition to being similar in physique and talent to ordinary elves, the dark elves are quite unique in terms of group structure and moral concepts.
In particular, wood elves, with very few exceptions, have taboos against using metal blades. But dark elves have no taboos and can use whatever is useful.
And those dark elves who are not under the care of Fasnas and are wandering in the underground world. Although they are not at the level of unifying the underground world, as long as there are dark elves, they will be strong enough to occupy leadership positions and let them
Others have to be convinced. Those who are really not convinced will die.
In short, Merchant, who led Ezio to the high-level meeting, behaved quite casually. There was no hint of respect and fear in front of the boss. It was as if he was strolling through his own garden, introducing various rare and exotic animals.
But when the man-eating dead tree shook, the gray and white matter originally covering the tree was shaken off like dust. The shaken off gray and white matter did not fall to the ground, but in the process of floating away, the front part of the tree fell to the ground.
In an instant, it turned into finer ash and dispersed in the wind.
This was a very light movement, but in the strange and silent environment of the dimensional gap, it was extremely eye-catching. As soon as Fasnas made a move, Maiershan noticed it.
She hugged her belly and back with her left and right hands, her feet were straight, and she bowed her head. This unique salute posture was unique to the dark elf priestess. Among the many identities of Maier, this was the most important one to her.
When Ezio saw this, he didn't panic. He took half a step back and gave a decent half salute.
Although he was born as an orphan, there was a real nobleman in that family. Although Ezio had not had much contact with the Marquise de Balan, the butlers and maids were very familiar with him. About the nobles
He also half-inquired and half-studied the etiquette education, and understood a lot. So he was able to deal with it appropriately at this time.
The reason why you don't use big gifts is because although the other party has a high status, he has no direct affiliation with you. You only need to express respect, and you don't need to use big gifts to meet him like a subject.
If you give a big gift rashly, you don't really want to be seen by others. Instead, you will get a blank look and be criticized for being rude. This is like not drinking with everyone. It's okay to drink with your sister-in-law, but drinking with a man means you have a special sexual orientation.
Many people in Li do not blame this kind of nonsense, but people in the lost area have doubts about it.
However, whether they are humans or elves, the etiquette they display does not mean much to Yggdrasil.
The so-called etiquette is actually just a link in maintaining order and class in society. Kings and nobles need their subjects to express etiquette to show their status. But Yggdrasil does not need these, especially Fasnas' false respect for the dark elves.
not interested.
So Fasnas shook himself up nonchalantly. At the same time, the mummy, which was entangled with dead trees and old vines, opened its mouth wide and yawned widely. Then he said: "Servant, what's the matter?"
Despite the fact that the elder seemed lazy, he seemed to cherish his words like gold and refused to say more. In fact, this simple inquiry already made Melson overjoyed.
According to various wood elf tribes, including dark elves, the normal communication scene with the World Tree is that the elf priest talks a lot, and the World Tree responds by moving its branches.
Even not moving is a response. Even if the elder is asleep or too lazy to pay attention, the priest has to tell him a bunch of flowers.
As for the branches swinging up and down, swinging left and right, swinging diagonally, and swinging casually, what each of them means depends on how the priest interprets it. This kind of riddle scene is the normal process of communication between the elves and the World Tree.
Isn’t it a great joy that the elder of World Tree is willing to speak, saving the elves from guessing? But if you are excited, if you lose your temper because of it, it will be more than worth the loss. So Maiershan calmly knelt down on the ground and said
: "Your Majesty, I am here to introduce Ezio. And he also hopes to learn the plan of the entire matter from your golden mouth."
"That magician avoided the matter again and put the responsibility on us, right?" Fasnas pointed out the truth behind it!
Although she is a plant, her thinking logic is different from that of humans. But her long enough lifespan allows her to have enough experience to judge the true meaning behind things.
What's more, this isn't the first time this has happened. It's just that in the past few times, no one could directly enter the high-level meeting to question. Instead, they went through layers of relationships to inquire about the mouth of any particular World Tree.
.
However, if his servant wants to introduce someone, it means that this man has some kind of value. This made Fasnas calm down, and the mummy in the tree looked directly at Ezio. He asked: "Why do you want to know about us?"
Plan?"
Asking is asking 'why', but actually asking 'what qualifications do you have'.
The Mysterious Land is not a society that the people have lived in before. Such a thing as "the people have the right to know" does not exist in the Mysterious Land.
The World Tree is not just a spy. Even though they are having an affair with a certain magician, they still have an indifferent attitude towards the elves who are more closely related to them. Then a person who has not proven his worth is running away.
What's the point of asking questions here and there in front of me?
Speaking of which, such an attitude really did not give the recommender any face. But Melson did not express any dissatisfaction, and of course he did not dare to express it.
The rest can only be performed by Ezio himself. There is no way to break through the difficulties on his own, how to make people believe that this person is worth using. For elves, all levels are the same as those of humans. There are so many talents.
Boss, the people you want to use are just excellent, but that’s not enough at all.
Ezio didn't mean to be timid at all. As an orphan raised by a black dragon, courage was the most basic quality. In his opinion, it would be good to speak his true feelings when encountering such a thing.
If your enthusiasm cannot move others, it can only mean that the ideas on both sides are not in the same line. When meeting such an opponent, you must either use greater enthusiasm to move the other person, or admit your own shortcomings and give in. How can you make friends?
Many conspiracies and calculations.
"Does His Majesty Fasnas think it is a good thing to allow the gate of the abyss to open wide and the demons to invade the Lost Land?" Ezio first asked a question. Then he continued:
"The negative impact of chaotic creatures on the Lost Land is not limited to the level of burning, killing and looting. The invasion of a large number of chaotic creatures will cause unimaginable damage to the Lost Land ecosystem. At this point, I believe You all know better than me. But the magician Tripwood claims that he has a plan related to the World Tree in this matter."
Feeling that a simple questioning was too harsh, Ezio slowed down and said: "I just want to know, is this behavior that is no different from suicide allowed by you? If you also don't allow it, then this is what we work together to do." , when you drive the devil out of the Lost Land and completely close the door to the abyss. Instead of sitting at home like the magician and watching things happen indifferently."
Although high-level demons in the abyss can imitate human nobles, they dress well, behave elegantly, eat exquisite food, and talk about ethereal topics.
However, all this is not necessary for demons! It is not even a study done out of admiration for such a culture. It is just a malicious ridicule, wanting to prove to humans that they can also do things that you are proud of. , and also having fun.
The abyss and demons are completely different ecosystems from those of the Lost Land. The difference here includes biological characteristics, the means of extending life and the methods of reproduction. These all look very similar to the creatures of the Lost Land, but they are actually fundamentally different.
Let’s talk about the types of food. All demons are omnivorous and can survive even if they eat a handful of dirt. Because what they need is not the nutrients in the food, but the energy contained in the food.
The same goes for reproduction. You can reproduce asexually, reproduce by yourself, or reproduce through intercourse. Even after death, offspring will crawl out of the remains. These methods of reproduction make the devil have a very weak concept of paternal or maternal lineage. The reason why They would like the bloodline inheritance just for the power of the bloodline inheritance.
The abyss environment itself is the biggest reason why such creatures that are so different from those in the Lost Lands are created. Its characteristic is that creatures living in it are very easy to mutate. Even before and after the change, they will look like completely different species.
If we follow the biological classification of a certain time traveler, all creatures in the abyss can be regarded as completely metamorphosed creatures. Just like a caterpillar that transforms into a butterfly. Every time a demon undergoes a transformation, not only does its power increase to a higher level, but also its appearance changes. Complete change.
The above characteristics give rise to the answers to two questions: First, why do the demons of the abyss want to invade Lost Land? Second, after the demon invades Lost Land, what impact will it have?
The answer to the first question is not a sad drama about demons living in a bitter cold land with poor resources, so they must expand outward in order to survive. The answer is very simple, just to plunder resources, and resources can help They grow.
The answer to the second question is that abyssal creatures entering the labyrinth will change their surrounding environment and make it abyssal. When abyssal creatures enter the labyrinth in large numbers, this change may become permanent, eventually turning the labyrinth into a The second abyss.
Ezio chose to make a statement to the ancient Fasnas from this point of view because he knew that the World Tree could not survive in the abyss environment. In other words, the World Tree that sprouted from seeds could adapt to the new environment, but it had already taken shape. This group will definitely be used as firewood in the new world.
Based on the principle of priority that someone constantly emphasizes, the human society in which Ezio lives is inherently capable of standing on the same front as the World Trees. As long as there is this relationship, Ezio will not worry about the most terrifying army of this era, the Elf Alliance.
Don't join this war with demons as your opponent.
But Fasnas gave him an unexpected answer: "You are going to be disappointed, boy."
