Chapter 1518 An Abyssal Threat Greater Than Imagined
After knowing the truth, the old Grand Duke said bitterly: "How many people have died in the north? Why don't we know anything about the arrival of three great monarchs? It is not so easy for any great monarch to come, right?" , what did the Guardian Lord do? None of this is reasonable."
Lin understands that the elderly have restrained emotions. If he encounters such unexpected trouble, no matter how restrained he is, he will appear to be about to collapse. But he has no confidence in his own psychological quality at all. said.
However, Lin responded helplessly to the old man's complaint: "There will be visions of heaven and earth when the king comes, but this kind of thing is not impossible to cover up. Maybe when the first one comes, the devil is not prepared, or not prepared enough, so Clues are revealed. Now that there is the first Lord of the Abyss, under its leadership, it won't be a big trouble to cover up the tracks of other Lords.
"Then the Lord of Guardians has not appeared until now. Doesn't he represent the position of certain existences? Gods are never merciful. They all have their own oaths. And these oaths do not necessarily include human beings. After all, in the past In this whole chess game, the voice of human beings is very small. The sooner we realize this, the sooner we can figure out how to play this game."
"What happened to the Lord of Guardians?" The old man suddenly seemed to change the subject and asked about something else.
Lin replied without any concealment: "Well, I didn't see the details with my own eyes. But I heard that the goddess of gold coins went to her kingdom to block the door, so that's why there is no news about the elder."
"You can guess that this is the case." The old Grand Duke nodded as if to confirm. Then he asked: "You said that if a guardian is born, there is no need to consider the issue of building a tower. You also said, You couldn't find a way to give birth to a guardian, so you settled for the next best thing and built a magic tower instead. Have you ever estimated how much time it might take to give birth to a guardian naturally?"
Lin said seriously: "I really haven't thought about this. I can only answer, keep at it, the guardian will be born naturally one day."
"But in this case, you won't help? Right."
Faced with the old man's stern questioning, Lin spread his hands and said: "Mindi can afford to wait, and the World Trees can afford to wait. Although I can't afford to wait, my responsibility ended twelve years ago. This one is considered I have worked overtime, and I have also given remedies. If you don’t want to do it according to my method, then the person who refuses should be responsible for himself. This approach should be the same no matter where it is."
I wanted to use harsher words to reprimand the magician so that he would not forget his responsibilities. However, the resentment in my heart dissipated uncontrollably after only being raised for a moment.
The old man knew very well what kind of person the person in front of him was. He also knew how insignificant human life was to the existences that had been involved. If they were to stand on the opposite side, the consequences would be disastrous.
Even though the people in front of them didn't mention it, if they only needed the Gate of the Abyss to exist, they could choose to cooperate with the demons. Humans can build magic towers, but demons can't?
So is there any reason why they must and can only cooperate with humans?
He doesn't understand the design of the magic tower... If the magician who transformed the Great Sage's Tower into a tower with enough power to rule an area doesn't understand the design of the magic tower, then no one in the world understands it.
Material issues... maybe Ricardo Kawi is not a magician, but he knows very well that there are many substitutes for the materials of the magic tower, and nothing is indispensable and can only be produced in a certain place.
Even if there is such a thing, would it be difficult to capture a place like that with the demon alliance in hand?
The logistics of the Magic Tower... this point is even more speechless. With the support of World Tree, can the people living in the tower starve?
Even if the World Tree doesn't support it, doesn't the devil also support it? On the premise that the magic tower exists, set aside a part of the land as farmland and leave some living people to cultivate it, just to support the people blocked in the magic tower at the gate of the abyss, in exchange for
The right of one's own free passage.
For me, this deal is quite worthwhile. Not to mention that I can use food as an excuse to manipulate the other party. Even if I can't offend him to death, it's not difficult to get some benefits by pulling back.
With the temperament of the person in front of him, he doesn't care about petty profits. He just gives in, so he won't worry too much.
Not all demons are idiots who only know how to fight and kill, but there are also many demons who are good at conspiracy. Will these demons who know how to use their brains find a way to deal with this magician?
Besides, if the human side chooses to go hard, it means not taking the path given by the magician and the world tree in front of them. Then it will have to face at least three abyss kings and an abyss evil god, as well as countless demons and orcs.
.
Whether the victory can be won in the end, the old Grand Duke has absolutely no doubt. With all his strength, justice will surely defeat evil. This result has been true since ancient times, the only difference lies in the price paid.
But when we really hit the door of the abyss and prepare to close it, will the elves jump out and become new enemies under the command of the World Tree? What about the magician in front of us? And what about the goddess of gold coins?
Even if these existences don't jump out to stop it. According to what the person in front of me said, as long as there is a deity like the Goddess of Gold Coin who is strong enough to a certain level, the gate of the abyss will continue to open until one day the Lost Land and the Abyss return.
balance.
Then the option for the human side, if it is not to constantly attack and destroy the opened abyss door, is to find a way to get rid of the gold coin goddess and knock down the altar... This also means that the bank is gone.
After twelve years of development, banks have penetrated into all aspects of the society of the Underworld. Not only are they used by humans, but all Homo sapiens living in this society will use them. Even in the underground world, banks have become a part of the financial system.
One of the biggest advantages is that there are no more robbers. No one can break into a powerful divine kingdom and steal even a penny from the gold coin pool that is said to be as big as the ocean.
Even if you can endure the pain of losing the divine protection of the Gold Goddess, whether you have the ability to conquer the goddess is still a big question.
In particular, this was a continuous battle after repelling the demons and closing the door to the abyss. At that time, did humans still have the strength to continue fighting, and they still challenged a powerful divine power.
It is estimated that after they are all defeated and victorious, humans can retire from the main stage of the Lost Land and see who will be the protagonist of the next generation.
So ignorance is bliss. The more you know, the fewer choices you have.
The only good thing is that before the magician spoke, he drove the others out. Although these people were all his cronies, there were many of the emperor's men among them. This was a tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers.
Kado Kawei has been pretending to be ignorant.
Although today's conversation with the magician is okay if my old friend knows about it, and I will tell him sooner or later. But when and on what occasion I tell him, there will be completely different results.
At least these things cannot be brought out too early and discussed in public.
There are anti-human remarks everywhere in and out of the words. The worst thing is that when others do the opposite, the human side is unable to resist, and the best they can do is to fight to the death. Even if it disrupts the other party's plan, the human race may not be able to survive.
In fact, for Yggdrasil and the magician in front of him, the best time for them to propose was when the demon alliance defeated the human side. In order to grab the life-saving straw, the human leaders at that time, who the hell were they?
Dare to agree to all conditions. As for the grievances and casualties of civilians, they are nothing.
Maybe when I made these demands at that time, I would be criticized for taking advantage of others. But to be honest, my family's wealth was almost gone, and my hometown was about to be looted. If someone took advantage of someone, I would take advantage of it and leave a bad life behind. The old man is right
This mentality is not unfamiliar.
The reason why the magician in front of me told him these things so early was not a sign of his unwiseness, but his choice to believe in himself. It was just that this trust was too heavy, and it was so heavy that the old man felt regretful.
So, in today's conversation, when it came to the elderly, even those who had confidence became less confident. I was so worried that I even pulled a few strands of my beard and didn't feel it.
Suddenly an idea flashed through the old man's mind and he asked: "Do you think it is possible to find a way to become a guardian from ancient books? I remember the big library..."
Halfway through his words, the old man suddenly got stuck. He remembered that the magician in front of him lived in the holy city of Estali, a city of magicians built around the Great Library.
Lin lived up to the old man's expectations and said: "I have read all the information in the big library. There are books that mention guardians. I can make a book list, if the old man needs it. But I can say,
Most of it contains information that has little reference value. It just talks about some secrets and little-known things about the existing guardians."
"Hmm~, I remember that there are some secret areas in the big library that ordinary people cannot enter. In the name of the Grand Duke... No, I asked my son to use the name of the Grand Duke, so I should be able to ask the magician guarding the tower to let me go."
Lin shook his head and refused, saying: "Old man, how do you think the big library can stop me? It just blocks some fledgling young people. I have checked all the information that can be checked. In fact, on the first day I learned about the demon invasion
For a while, I focused all my energy on the collection of documents in the big library, hoping to get some good news from them. But the result was very disappointing."
"Is there really no other way to go?" the old man asked without giving up.
"Definitely." Lin gave a hopeful answer. But he spread his hands and said, "But that's not what I can think of. The method I provided was approved by His Majesty the World Tree and was successful.
It’s the most efficient plan. But I don’t rule out that there are other capable people or geniuses in the world who can think of better methods than me. I’m not arrogant enough to do so.”
"Suppose," the old man thought carefully and asked, "-I mean, if we agree to all the requirements and you and the elves work hard, how long will it take to push the devil back to the gate of the abyss?"
Lin smiled and held up the fragrant Elf Flower Tea and said, "Tomorrow afternoon, you can sit next to the Gate of the Abyss and drink this tasteless tea with peace of mind."
