Chapter 1605 The face and thinking of the old-school aristocrats
The nobleman who spoke had a more vivid mind than the others, and his ability to draw inferences from one instance to other cases was not a problem. He quickly found a few arguments and said with a smile: "With the help of Your Excellency and your Majesties, a counterattack is not a problem. This is the so-called new way of turning defeat into victory.
The design of the magic tower is not that important.
"Of course, from your point of view, I can understand that cooperation with the Lost World is not the only option. If you want to choose a suitable ally based on the outcome of the war, it is a good way not to directly intervene in the process of the war.
That's right.
"After all, whoever controls the Gate of the Abyss in the end is likely to become your partner. But what I want to emphasize is that the devil, that is, the Abyss side is by no means a good ally.
"This is a completely different concept than choosing among the many homo sapiens races in the Lost Land. Whether humans, elves, dwarves, or halflings, we all follow the basic rules of the Lost Land.
"But the demons have their own set of rules, and the abyss just wants to turn the lost land into a second abyss. From this perspective, you can really achieve your original goals from the lost land under the rule of the demons.
.
"So, since we are the best or even the only choice, then I think we should have a place in the new order that is about to be established."
The World Tree, which had been silent for a long time, allowed the magician to speak on its behalf, breaking the silence. The eight-fruit tree incarnation of the ancient Yectrasil shook the treetops, and the eight fruits made a crisp tinkling sound like wind chimes. He
At the same time, he said: "Then mortals, what else do you want?"
The tone was calm, as if there was no emotion in it. In fact, except for the relatively unfamiliar new member-the bank lady, the other high-ranking members of the alliance knew that the fact that the ancient one spoke was not a good thing in itself.
It's not that the World Tree boss is angry. It's that the seriousness of the matter must reach a certain level, and these bosses who have lived for countless years and have experienced a lot will speak.
Most of the communication between Lin and the two ancients was through the priests of their respective elf tribes. There were not many direct conversations, let alone meaningless chats.
Even if it was to say hello, the two ancients could only shake the branches to signal. Normally, they would look cold and indifferent to anyone. After all, they are plants, and no one can say anything bad about them. Is it possible that they still have hope?
This plant is like a dog, hunching down and wagging its tail all day long.
As for the communication methods between the elf priests and World Tree, they are all mysterious communication methods that can only be understood. Many elves may serve World Tree for their entire lives, and may not even hear this ancient boss speak golden words once.
Just like the way the magician shook a tree branch, it was an oracle-level revelation. Every time I saw it, there was no elf who wouldn't shed tears of gratitude, it's just that someone didn't have the consciousness.
Now one of the ancients, Uggdrasil, has spoken again. They are both high-ranking members of the Turtle Dove Alliance and share the identity of the World Tree. Of course, the other bosses did not react as fiercely as the elves. But they also had a strong reaction to Uggdrasil.
Your reaction was thoughtful.
As we all know, in human society, when the power status reaches a certain level, they do not like to have contact with gods or beings of the same level. This is because they are unwilling to bow to other beings, even if they know deep down that they are inferior to others.
But conversely, these gods or beings of the same level don't like to deal with these mortals at the top of the power pyramid.
We are obviously ordinary mortals like everyone else, but we still pretend to be different. What's the point of constantly emphasizing blood and status?
It's better to say that those beings who have gradually become gods step by step from being mortals have experienced the experience of ordinary people, and they can understand what the pride of nobles is all about.
The World Tree is just a tree, a plant. Even if they know what a noble is, how can they understand the arrogance in the noble bones?
However, the nobles who are currently diving into the whirlpool of desire have no such consciousness.
For them, how to maximize their profits is almost an instinct engraved in their souls. Seeing others extending their arms in front of them, how could they miss the opportunity to take a bite.
Before the noble Haider who was chatting in front could say anything, someone from the Gwana Empire jumped in and said, "Isn't it just building magic towers on both sides of the Gate of the Abyss? We will take care of both of our two empires one by one."
We will also be responsible for the garrison. We will also bear the threat of the abyssal demons, and we will ensure that everything is handled smoothly for your majesty from beginning to end."
…
hehe.
It seems that he was kicked away again. Someone was laughing at himself in his heart.
Let’s not talk about whether the magicians in the lost land may agree to hand over the control of the magic tower to the nobles. Once again being picked off, someone does not want to continue to endure the same humiliation as before. Lin said coldly:
"Does this mean that in the future, the two empires can use the method of destroying the magic tower as a threat at any time to make the World Tree and even the higher will of existence act according to your ideas? Well, even if not both empires want to
To cause trouble, as long as one of the empires has evil intentions, he only needs to destroy another tower to break the balance that was finally established. Are you sure you have such qualifications?"
"Then what choice do you have? Don't talk about taking refuge in the devil. The best result is the lost land and the abyss. And the nature of the devil is destined that they will not be satisfied with the current situation.
Only the human world is a suitable partner for cooperation." The third nobleman who spoke out said confidently.
There is no need for anyone to hide a private meeting like this. Especially Mi Di does not have the bad habit of asking people to guess and understand it everywhere. Therefore, when the nobles see what they want, their attitude
They all seem pretty straightforward.
And many times, strong words with subjective content can easily guide other people's thinking. As long as you can dominate the topic, then the thing is half successful. The remaining half is just a matter of eating more and eating less.
But the premise is...if you can really dominate the topic.
The one who spoke was still the ancient Yggdrasil. He directly ignored the human nobles who looked very small in the high conference center due to the projection angle problem, and asked: "Is there a backup method?"
Lin suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and used himself to calm down, but in fact he said with a bit of gnashing of teeth: "Yes. In fact, at the beginning, I thought about the possibility of cooperating with the Abyss Demon. But that thought
It is indeed impractical and unfeasible.
"So I seriously thought about feasible backup plans and made a preliminary plan. Simply put, it is to directly get rid of the possibility of involvement of both humans and demons, and let us take the lead in everything.
"The specific action plan is as follows. The first step is to eliminate all opposition and opposition. My land's blockade against me is, at best, just the actions of a small number of people in power in the local lords and magician associations. Most of them
Most people don't care at all, or even know that such a thing exists.
"So we will carry out a purge operation. In addition to the aforementioned targets, the target also includes the demons who passed through the Gate of the Abyss and came to the Lost Land. The third goal is to create a no-man's land around the Gate of the Abyss to avoid us from doing so later.
course of action is needlessly interfered with.
"The problem of building materials for the magic tower is even simpler. In one word, rob. If you don't rob one place enough, go to the next place until you rob enough. They are killing people anyway, so robbing things can only be considered casual. Even if we
If you don't take or rob, you will only give others an advantage, so there is no need to pretend to be reserved at this time.
"The third step is to build the tower and establish satellite towns around it, and immigrate to enrich the population and develop farmland, livestock and other food industries. This is to ensure the food source for the guardians of the magic tower, and it can be matched with the magic tower to form mutual support.
The power of the horns.
"And the attack range of the twin towers of the Gate in my design is no longer limited to the ten kilometers stipulated by the Magician Association. According to the example of the Tower of the Great Sage, the attack range of four hundred kilometers is actually not the limit. But consider
When it comes to actual control, a range of three to five hundred kilometers is not a problem.
"As for whether this area should be built or not, my opinion is that it doesn't matter whether it can be built or not. And not only this side of the Lost Land, but also the other side of the Abyss needs to have the same plan.
"And it doesn't matter who the immigrants are. Anyway, once the magic tower is built, if there are any opponents, they will be sent to death. I have killed them in the beginning, and there is no need to maintain a false and glorious image in the future, all the way to the dark side.
That’s good. Those who obey me will live, and those who go against me will perish.”
"Of course there is a very important issue here, that is, the necessity of the Twin Towers of the Gate is based on the premise that the ninth authority can be established. For the ninth authority to be established, banks are indispensable.
"Even if Homo sapiens other than humans also use banks, based on their belief system, whether they can support the ninth power is indeed a problem. Therefore, the human world must be maintained, but all we need is quantity.
.
"There is a saying in my hometown, antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times. That is to say, no matter what era, the value of coins made of precious metals will always exist and will not be eliminated or ignored.
"Perhaps a good economic environment can only exist in peacetime. But peacetime is not a necessary condition for the use of money. Even because banks protect private property, others cannot easily rob it. In times of war,
The importance of banks may even increase. It's just that we may need to change some of the ways we use them.
"Then we use the results of a large-scale social experiment a thousand years ago when the Demon King eliminated the old-era beliefs and caused the old gods to completely disappear from the earth. According to calculations, as long as the number of humans remains at more than 15% of today's, the banks will not disappear.
.And as long as the population remains above 60%, even if it falls into chaos, the demand for banks may not decrease but increase.”
Someone's backup plan is not just empty talk. The situations he mentioned are all explained with the map of the whole world. For example, the attack on all opposition forces and the clearing of the area around the Gate of the Abyss are all shown in real time on the map.
Effect.
When explaining the impact of population decline on the belief in the Goddess of Gold Coins, he even proposed a series of mathematical formulas based on economic and mathematical theories. This was used to prove that his purge actions would not shake the foundation of the Ninth Authority or harm the
To the will of the lost land and the benefits of the world tree.
