The exchange between magicians is reciprocal. This is a principle that has not changed since ancient times.
But here’s the interesting part. What counts as ‘equivalence’? Who defines value?
Even in the hometown of a traveler, most people are accustomed to the social environment of clearly marked prices. People who buy still find it too expensive and those who sell find it too cheap. The so-called market mechanism is actually a way of deceiving some inexperienced children. Who doesn't know?
The advantages of oligopoly and even monopoly trading.
So, under the premise that Ada only agreed to let the other party come to the Mysel Nuclear Area to have a look, and did not guarantee that the other party would be able to see anything, is it too natural to ask the other party to tell all the ideas he has gained?
.
Just because the other party really sees something, we cannot use this as a condition to require the other party to give equal knowledge in exchange.
What the other party gets depends on the other party's ability, and what you pay for is the key. Let's say that the other party has seen the Miser Energy Core but can't understand it. If he gets nothing, will he give up asking for reward? Ada asked herself this
.
In particular, the other party is not something that can be manipulated by others. Those heavenly soldiers who were scared away proved this point.
Besides, the other party has the ability to freely enter and leave the floating island, and even the ability to enter the Miser energy nuclear area without alerting anyone or any device. As long as the blockade cannot be blocked, it is all delusion to do anything to the other party.
In fact, if such thoughts were known to Lin, he would only laugh at the guardian for being naive. If he were a real person, he would definitely be thinking about how to take advantage and how to avoid paying.
Perhaps feeling the other party's embarrassment, Lin added another explanation and said: "I want to know the purpose of the floating island. In fact, I also want to know whether your position will harm the human side."
"If so, I will definitely have reservations. After all, I don't want to create too strong an opponent for myself. But if you don't have this intention, there is even room for cooperation in the future. Then who wouldn't welcome a more powerful partner?
Yes. Are you right, Your Excellency Ada?"
This was like an excuse to go down the stairs, which reassured Ada a little.
Of course, Lin also considered whether the other party might hide his true evil purpose and just find any excuse to evade it.
However, the floating island that had not appeared for thousands of years suddenly appeared, and instead of staying aloof, it directly participated in the major events related to the Lost Land. In this case, just finding an excuse and expecting others to believe it is to put everyone at risk.
They all must be considered idiots.
So if the other party comes up with an incompetent reason or insists on not saying anything, then you can reasonably suspect that something is going on.
If it's open to the public, that's a good thing. As a traveler, of course I understand the truth that "free is the most expensive". Not everyone can accept that kind of effort without asking for anything.
As long as the floating island states its purpose, it is like setting a price. Then everyone can discuss whether others can accept it and to what extent they are willing to accept it. This will give everyone a sense of confidence.
The current cooperation between the Vader Military and the Floating Island is only superficial. In fact, everyone is still doing their own thing. The biggest reason is that the military cannot fully believe in the position of the Floating Island. Of course, it is impossible to leave the behind to such a person.
'ally'.
Even if they cooperate to trap people from the evil camp, the strategy is such that either side can withdraw at any time, and it won't have much impact. If this ally is actually a member of the devil's side, looking for an opportunity to perform a backstab, human beings
What should one party do?
This possibility is not completely non-existent. People who can reach that level in politics will not be little white rabbits who can be slaughtered by others. Even if they don't eat people, they will choose to protect themselves first. Of course they will
Be wary of allies who appear out of nowhere and seem to have nothing to gain.
Isn't it because I asked for so much and gave the limit so early that I frightened old Mr. Kawei so much that he didn't dare to come to his door? Otherwise, according to the old man's urine, it would be wrong to catch a living person.
When you get sick, you will suffer from the disease until you die.
Perhaps Lin's reasons were too strong, and Ada finally realized the Floating Island's position and was a little embarrassed by the current human camp in the Lost Land, so she decided to express her needs.
"Requiring the Floating Island to participate in the war is the decision of the Supreme Council, which is also my decision. The reason why I made such a decision is that I hope that after the war, or without waiting until the war, the Floating Island can be restored to the surface world again.
connect."
"That's it?" Lin was really surprised this time.
For such a reason, to fight a war that does not belong to you? If this is a petition, then the things you want must be boundless.
But why in Ada's words, the main purpose sounds like a trivial matter. If you really want to restore contact, it would be better for the two sides to contact each other by restoring trade first, rather than joining a war from the beginning.
The other reason for being so impatient is that the other party is a novice who is inexperienced in the world. Another reason is that the matter is quite urgent. And Ada, a guardian who has existed for thousands of years, certainly cannot be an inexperienced guy. So,
The reason is the latter.
But of course Ada would not finish the matter in just one sentence. She would just listen to her explain the cause and effect of the matter.
According to someone's simple understanding, it is to escape from the floating island in the lost world and pursue a perfect social system.
This system rationally allocates everyone to all needs, while those low-end, low-level, repetitive tasks that do not require creativity are left to golems or magic devices to perform.
Coupled with the strength of the floating island, it seems as if there are no natural enemies, and it has developed smoothly all the way up to now. Then the problem arises...
Let’s not go into details about the harm caused by class solidification to society. In the past, on the floating island, as soon as a child was born, the path that each child should take until his death would be determined based on his ability.
The current floating island goes a step further. From the moment a child is born, depending on what kind of family the child is born into, the path he will take until his death is determined.
The reason for the transition from the former to the latter is that the heavenly beings on the floating island discovered that the education of a child's environment will affect a person's development more than personal ability.
No matter how well an outstanding child born to working parents is raised, the chance of him becoming an outstanding leader is slim. And no matter how poor a child from a leading family is, he will still have certain problems after inheriting the status of his parents.
level.
But it is this system of choosing the optimal solution that has gradually led the floating island to an indescribable situation. Ada can't explain why, she only knows that if this continues, it will be very bad.
So she spent a long time thinking about it, discussed it with the gods on the island, and tried one solution after another. But the situation did not improve.
In the end, Ada made a decision that everyone in heaven had opposed before, which was to lift the closed state of the floating island. In addition to regaining contact with the surface world, it was even necessary to conduct more in-depth exchanges, including business transactions, population movements, intermarriage, etc.
wait.
The reason why they made such a decision is that they have tried all the methods agreed by gods and humans, but they are not helpful in changing the status quo. And they can't think of any more methods. It can be said that from the perspective of gods and humans, they are at the end of their rope.
.
So Ada decided to implement those methods that the gods did not agree with. According to the Supreme Council - that is, Ada, the guardian of the Mysel Nuclear Power - and the Council - the highest decision-making organization of the gods, there are many people, and the speaker
Taking turns, - a tacit understanding of not contradicting each other's orders, the floating island Ada lifted the closed state that had lasted for thousands of years, and entered the battle against the abyssal camp as soon as it appeared.
In fact, this is not because the Floating Island deliberately participated in the war, but that the location where they were found was near the battlefield. And because although the Floating Island can move, its degree of freedom is not as high as outsiders imagined.
For a new force that wants to integrate into the surface world, it is faced with a war as soon as it appears. It seems unreasonable to just sit back and watch. Therefore, the floating island's participation in the war has become an unavoidable option, but the behavior of the heavenly people is also
Quite conservative.
The so-called conservatism here does not mean that the gods will not use force on the battlefield, or that they will retain their strength. Although at the beginning, the gods did not aim to destroy the enemy; but if they do not know how to run after fighting, they will be killed.
The helpless attitude is also quite obvious.
Until recently, geniuses have deliberately pursued lethality, striving to annihilate the enemy in every battle.
However, the battle of the Celestial Beings will not depart from the range within which they can return to the Floating Island within one day. They will not camp out overnight. No matter how late the fighting lasts, the Celestial Beings will return to the Floating Island to rest after cleaning up the battlefield.
This kind of attitude is what someone calls conservative. It also makes the threat of Heavenly Man and Floating Island in the eyes of the evil camp change from extremely high to extremely low.
However, the floating island has not thought about changing this situation. Although the guardian Ada has the command authority of the Supreme Council, he only has such power within the island. Once outside the island, the gods still decide on their own.
, Ada couldn’t even object.
In fact, as early as when Lin was listening to the guardian's story, he had roughly guessed what the problem facing the floating island was. But it was polite to listen to the person before he finished speaking, and Lin didn't dare to give it a hundred percent.
I was sure that the situation was exactly what I imagined, so I patiently acted as an audience member.
In the end, he listened to Ada's show off with the disgusting feeling of having his mouth full of shit. It felt like listening to a fat, rich man saying, 'I eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, so I'm too fat.
What to do' and so on.
Faced with the troubles of a rich man like this, Lin Bu was already polite enough by complaining, so how could he help the other person think of a solution?
What's more, Ada herself has come to a conclusion. She didn't say this to ask for help from a certain magician, but just to show that she had no ill intentions towards the world of Mystery.
Therefore, Lin Zai promised that he is willing to convey such goodwill to the floating island and hide the current difficulties faced by the floating island in order to promote cooperation between the surface world and the floating island.
It's just that Lin only serves as a microphone. The official messenger still requires the two parties to appoint candidates from each other, and he cannot be the representative of a magician.
Ada also gladly accepted this extra help.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as someone takes the initiative, everything that happens after that will be a matter of course. Ada has no reason to refuse, and of course she will not refuse. After all, they have paid the reward long ago.
