Things that should have been solved so easily have put humans on the front line and suffered such huge losses. As one of the losers, you can imagine the anger in your heart.
It's just that no one dares to vent their anger on these beings. In addition to the issue of upbringing, the most important factor is the desire to survive.
Plants like World Tree are not gentle gentlemen, otherwise they would not acquiesce in the establishment of an organization like the Turtle Dove Alliance. In the eyes of noble lords, this organization that frequently kills people and exterminates their families is not a good bird.
But there are some things that I just can't say out loud. So this great nobleman and important minister of the Gwana Empire couldn't help but say it.
It was just a rhetorical question from the magician that left everyone speechless.
Lin asked: "If at the beginning of the war, or even earlier, when the Gate of the Abyss was taking shape, I jumped out and said: Because World Tree and the entire Lost Land are in need, please let me build stable buildings on both sides of the Gate of the Abyss.
A magic tower of two worlds. Who would agree? Who would support it? You?"
Well……
The old man who originally spoke said without giving up: "We can talk about this kind of thing."
"Yes, because it takes time to negotiate, the demons can take the opportunity to invade during this time. Since the demon invasion is inevitable, what do you have to complain about?" Lin said.
"Can't we control the door first to block the demon's invasion?" The old man still refused to give up.
"Who will control it? Let the wood elves control it? That area is really controlled by the wood elves. Can you allow such a thing? Or should it be controlled by humans? If it really falls into your hands, the first thought must be to close the abyss.
Then do we still have room for negotiation? No one on both sides will control it? Then the devil will invade, and because no one will stop it, the result will be the same."
Well……
"Then in the future war, you can also contribute. Instead of only human sacrifices." The old man said angrily what he wanted to say the most.
Lin remained calm, using his huge figure to overlook a group of little people who could not reach him, and said: "In the process of sacrifice, waiting for you to nod and agree, how long will it take? How is it different from the current situation? Since it is
Same, then it doesn’t matter whether the wood elves get involved or not. Or if we bleed, sacrifice, and suffer miserably with you, you will consider our demands. Instead of using the elves as a shield and pushing them to the extreme.
If you go to the front line, it's best to die cleanly. Huh?"
In response to this torture that penetrated his soul, the old nobleman stiffened his neck and chose to avoid answering. He also said: "Then you can just go directly to the door of the abyss and block the door first. We will talk about what you want to talk about later."
"
"Haha, this is back to the situation just now, the issue of who will control the Gate of the Abyss." Lin showed a contemptuous look for the first time and said: "Do you need me to repeat what I just said (copied and pasted to cheat the word count)?"
"Then if we keep disagreeing, will you just let things get worse?"
"Why not." Lin said indifferently. But he still corrected the old man a little and said: "But I regret to emphasize one thing. The only ones who have become worse are you, or the dominant party has been obsessed with it.
For the long-lasting human society. For World Tree and Mystery, as long as that door is still there, things have not changed at all. It has not gotten worse, and of course it has not gotten better."
The most cruel part of this whole thing was pointed out by Lin in a bloody way.
Blood keeps flowing. But no matter how much or how little it flows, it has no impact on the overall situation and is all in vain.
This time it was the turn of the people from the Haider Empire to speak up. The emperor was already so shocked that he could not say anything. It was the powerful ministers below who spoke. He said feebly: "Your Excellency, since you are capable of solving this matter yourself.
, why go around in such a big circle and create such a mess? Isn't it fun to play with us?"
Now the person who felt helpless was replaced by a magician who was as huge as the incarnations of the World Tree. Lin spread his hands, his face was stained with stool, and said: "What I want to build are two magic towers, magic towers! No.
A shabby house built with mounds of earth or stones, just use local materials. You must not have forgotten that the world is as guarding against me as it is against anything else.
"Some of the key materials used to build the magic tower, not to mention that I can't buy them myself, even if the technical guild or the automobile center wants to buy them, it is very difficult and there are quantity restrictions. A lot of people feel aggrieved and dare not do it in front of me.
Complaining, don’t you think that I am really blind and deaf, that I can’t see or hear anything?”
Someone said something like a complaint, which made old Mr. Kawei feel a little embarrassed.
As Lin's closest political ally, he clearly had the ability to break through this predicament but did nothing, and even ignored the situation. This member of the great nobles was actually an accomplice, just to maintain a small tacit understanding between the nobles and the magicians.
.
Lin knew about it, but there was nothing he could say to change the situation. Fortunately, he let it all go and didn't think too much.
As the saying goes, if you don't have desires, you will be strong. In the past, I wanted a magic tower. In addition to the deep-rooted land thinking in my bones and wanting to have a home of my own, it was more to protect myself in this dangerous world.
As a single-player operable war fortress, the Magic Tower is the best choice. There is no other option that can compare. Otherwise, it is to develop your power and learn from your hometown neighbor, Mr. Takeda of the Japanese and Japanese Warring States Period, who is known as 'a city based on people'.
It's just that the difficulty between the two is too different. Your mind has to be caught in the door several times before a certain time traveler can choose the later path of fighting for kings and hegemony.
And the mind that had calmed down became active again because of this incident. That's why Lin was so active in dealing with many problems, and no longer pretended to be dead as long as he could. If he didn't delay for a few months, it was simply in vain.
My own otaku nature.
But even if you become active, it doesn't mean that the problems in the past no longer exist now. It's just that you avoided facing them before, but now you have to face them.
Lin is not the kind of character who exploits his strengths and avoids his weaknesses. As for why he does this, as long as he thinks deeply, these people who have been in the power circle for countless years will quickly figure it out. Therefore, Lin has no idea about the dilemma he is facing.
Conceal, tell everything.
It's just that when things unfolded, the person who was originally so pale that he looked as if his whole family was dead suddenly became rosy again.
They know that the most dangerous thing in the circle of power is that there is nowhere to use the strength. But as long as there is a bargaining chip in the hand and a place to use the force, then how much force can be used and how much can be gained depends on the ability of the person using the force.
.
Since we know that this magician also wants something from him, and we also know that this opportunity has been won by everyone's tacit understanding over a long period of time, there is no reason why he should not find a way to make good use of it.
But they didn't think about it. If under normal circumstances, someone could slowly collect the materials to build a magic tower. They didn't dare to say that they could collect all the materials to build a tower after coming to the holy city of Estali for more than ten years.
, but at least there is a beginning.
——Although someone's income is astonishing, to build a regular magic tower, ordinary magicians need several generations of savings, and even Lin needs more than ten years, or even decades of accumulation.
In the past, we were able to fish out a Great Sage's Tower because there was only a soil embryo left in that tower and it was still in a destroyed state. The most important thing was that the location was too remote and the local people's sentiments were not quite right.
In the hands of a certain time traveler,——
Now that he has a good start and is facing needs on official business, he can generously ask the World Trees to sponsor him. Starting with the rare materials prefixed with 'World Tree', Lin is sure to come up with various elven specialties in a short time.
The building materials of the two towers are a bit crude.
Anyway, the twin towers of the gate are built first, and the basic functions are in place. They can be gradually improved in the future. Then the gate of the abyss has been blocked long ago, and there will not be as many troubles as there are today.
When Lin boasted to old Mr. Kawei that the problem could be solved within one day, he was not talking nonsense, but telling the truth.
The fleet of miscellaneous soldiers and organics were dealt with. Although the complete Lord of the Abyss was difficult to deal with, the Haggiri with over 10,000 people was even more terrifying. Then think of a way to defeat Fen and her former Dark Legion who had always looked at each other.
The commander of the Guards, Stone, came over. Unless all the Lords of the Abyss came to the Lost Land today, there would be nothing that could not be solved.
Where do the materials for building towers come from?
Are you just wasting your energy blocking the door and begging grandpa and grandma everywhere?
Is it possible to ask for it?
Let the devil come in and play the role of raising bandits to respect yourself. To be honest, this is a last resort.
If you put in all the hard work from the beginning, and because the negotiation collapsed, you let go, giving the devil a chance to wreak havoc. At that time, you will only be scolded worse, and you won’t get any sympathy, and you will even get more nonsense and support.
The teachings of our ancestors: A good person will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridden by others. This sentence is not groundless.
Just to be frank now, a group of nobles who seemed to be seeking death for their whole family and desperate for life were all red in the face. How could Lin not guess what these people were thinking? He would have the same expression if he stood in their position.
If you don't take advantage of something, you are a bastard. Who would be stupid enough to pay if you can get a free ticket? The evil of human nature has no regard for status, time, place and race.
"Your Majesty the Great Magician." It was another old nobleman from the Haider Empire. Although he did not show the full set of noble arrogance on his face, the coquettish flavor in his bones still showed through. He said:
"I can understand how important your plan for the twin gate towers is to your Majesty the World Tree and to the entire Lost Land. But the cost of building the magic tower is not light at all, not to mention a lot of materials.
It’s quite rare. It’s impossible for us to pay for all this in vain.”
This was a price increase from sitting on the ground. Lin had dead fish eyes, pointed his hand in the air, and used skilled whiteboard writing skills to immediately outline the design lines of the war tower that had been shown before, as well as the explanatory text. At the same time, he said: "Then
Sir, how much do you think this design that can turn defeat into victory for mankind is worth?"
