The thinking and reaction speed of ordinary human beings is simply an afterthought in front of a group of bigwigs in a high-level meeting.
However, the old emperor, who had seen a lot of rare things, did not ask a vague question like "What is this?", but a question with a clear direction. This actually made the big guys look at him.
The seeds of the World Tree are not just something you find on the street, you can see them everywhere.
There are not even those seeds that are scattered outside, because after receiving the induction from the World Tree, the wood elves will recycle them. Unless the source of the induction is blocked by the Master in a special way, they may be collected by private individuals.
No one likes to talk to someone who knows nothing, or is an idiot. Because that will take too much time on the most basic teaching, which is a pure waste of life.
Sometimes the person speaking is not necessarily an idiot, but they are too lazy to think and just want to be a handbag. Everything is done by others and delivered to them. Faced with such people, even if Lin doesn't break his face, he usually will
Let the other party hit a soft nail.
But since the old emperor had used his brain to make such a guess, Lin certainly did not hesitate to clear up the doubts. He said: "Yes, it is the seed of the World Tree."
"You want to make a tower spirit?" the old emperor said with a troubled expression.
From this old man's words, Lin suddenly realized that there might still be some gaps in his knowledge about the lost land. At least at the beginning, he did not think of the 'Tangling' thing so quickly, even though he also knew it.
this concept.
Since the other party had guessed, Lin followed the words and said: "That's right. It's just an existence similar to the tower spirit, but a guardian. Well, the guardian I'm talking about is the guardian of the Gate of the Abyss I mentioned before.
It’s different. It’s a soul born from a purple-level magic stone. I don’t know if you have ever seen it.”
The difference between the tower spirit and the guardian is mentioned because the former may be just a simple response device that drives some simple actions.
According to the understanding of a certain time traveler, the most basic tower spirit cannot even be called weak artificial intelligence. It is just a device that operates with a fixed pattern of bells when a switch is pressed.
Excellent tower spirits can shoulder the responsibility of managing magic towers just like humans. However, such tower spirits usually use some special methods to sacrifice the souls of higher Homo sapiens as the core to have corresponding wisdom.
It's just that this type of tower spirit is too smart, and because they were sacrificed to achieve their status as tower spirits, they often cause rebellions, betrayals, and a series of troubles. Therefore, for a long time, this kind of high-level tower spirit has become a tower spirit.
Tower spirits are taboo for magicians.
Guardians born from purple-level magic stones do not originate from living beings, so they do not carry the emotions of these living beings before death, including love, hate, and hatred. Therefore, reliability...
Thinking of Lupita, Lin felt that he couldn't discuss the reliability of the guardians. They were all equally unreliable!
However, he said this and mentioned that this guardian is not the other guardian. Lin suddenly had an idea that maybe the relationship between the two guardians was not so distant, and it really just happened to use the same name.
The names of guardians such as Ada and Lupita come from the ancient Magic Empire. That era was quite unfamiliar compared to today's Lost Land. Of course, Lin had no way of verifying how those 'Guardians' were studied and created.
of.
And it is obvious that the consciousness of guardians will be born. This is something that the designers and manufacturers knew from the beginning. It did not appear suddenly at some point in time over a long period of time, and then everyone accepted it nervously. of this fact.
Although there are records from that era in the Great Library, they are quite rare. Naturally, there is no way to verify them.
Mainly because the record carriers of that era were not paper books or similar materials that were easy to carry and move. Instead, they were various stone tablets, murals or secret carvings. These things were not within the business scope of the Grand Library.
As for the guardian of the Gate of the Abyss, its origin is the name of the first guardian Lin met, namely the Moth King Jian Moss in the Cat Forest.
The origin of this type of guardian is very mysterious. Not only is there no record, but even the rumors of officials and unofficial history have no relevant content. It is as if these guardians are of the sun, moon and stars, and they have existed since the beginning of the Mysterious Land.
The ancients can still find the source, at least they know where they came from, but the guardians of the Gate of the Abyss have no word about the source. But this is the situation of modern lost land. In the ancient era of the Magic Empire, Are there no relevant records?
Will there be records on the floating islands? After all, those five islands have been isolated from the world for a long time and have inheritance from ancient times. It is not surprising that there are relevant records.
If it were before, Lin didn't have a complete idea about the guardian of the Gate of the Abyss. He might follow this path to see if he could find a way to establish the guardian.
Anyway, he is already familiar with sneaking into the floating island. All he needs to do is find a way to avoid the island's guardian's senses. He will also look for the other four floating islands whose whereabouts are unknown. If there is no one on any of them, , then you will get an ancient heritage in vain.
Most people who time-travel are like being possessed by Indiana Jones, working part-time as a gold captain, and going for 'archeology' everywhere. However, my time-traveling is like suffering from a phobia of ancient ruins. I have never done this kind of beautiful thing many times. .Do some activities this time?
It’s just that now the twin towers of the gate are also linked to my own interests. I want to rely on the twin towers to find my way back to my hometown. This idea started when I knew that I had to build a magic tower to solve the problem of the guardian of the abyss gate. , it has been lingering in my mind and I can’t get rid of it.
Today, unless it can be proven that the plan of the Twin Towers of the Gate is not feasible, and other methods must be found to establish or replace the guardians of the Abyss Gate, Lin will be able to find another way. Otherwise, he will definitely go all the way to the end without collision. The south wall does not look back.
If you hit a wall... I'll probably pretend to be stupid, get what you want, and then think of other solutions.
Someone's chaotic and complicated thoughts will certainly not affect other people's thoughts. In fact, the old emperor knew this after receiving confirmation from the magician and witnessing the statements of the incarnations of the World Tree with his own eyes. There is no room for discussion.
In other words, even if there is room for discussion, it is not something a 'human' of his level is qualified to discuss.
Again, there is a reason why nobles do not like to face gods.
However, even if you can't get your hands on the two magic towers, you can place your own troops around them openly, which is still an improvement. At least the request you made has not been explicitly opposed.
If you can't control the two towers and completely control the traffic on both sides of the Abyss Gate, you must at least have monitoring personnel. This is the old emperor's idea.
Not to mention the World Tree and the beings on it, I am afraid that after humans take control of the Gate of the Abyss, they may use self-destruction of the twin towers or closing the Gate of the Abyss as threats at any time to intimidate those superior beings to obey human instructions.
The human side is also afraid of these existences, and threatens the human world by opening the door wide and letting the demon army enter the land.
Looking at the situation in front of us, we know that the demonic threat is not so easy to deal with. The Gwana Empire is fully prepared to face the demons, instead of being caught off guard like the Suritan Empire.
But the Abyss Demon has taken over. Together with half of the airship corps of the Haider Empire, the empire's strength alone is not enough to solve the crisis. It may be necessary to use the empire's foundation to gather more and more powerful forces.
, and do not hesitate to sacrifice in order to solve this big trouble.
Therefore, the request to leave an informant at the gate of the abyss is also in the hope that in the future, we can react at the early stage of a crisis and solve the problem quickly. Instead of letting the devil take control in ignorance and turn a good situation into a mess.
After figuring out that there was no room for negotiation on this matter, the old emperor did not give up his intention to continue bidding, and said: "Since it is not handed over to the enemies of the empire, then I can still accept it. So my second condition
It’s─”
Lin frowned slightly, showing an impatient attitude. However, he did not interrupt the old emperor's speech rudely, but listened quietly.
──Since you said that you have the ability to solve the devil's problem in a short time, please show it. Humanity has shed too much blood. Even if we are willing to provide the materials to build the magic tower, we want to transport them to the destination.
, we have to rule out being attacked by the enemy."
Lin could actually tell that Lin could tell that there were several intentions behind these remarks that seemed perfectly normal and full of compassion for a human being.
The first thing is to test whether someone's previous big words are the truth or just bragging. Being able to deal with a grand duke of the empire does not mean that you can also deal with the abyss demons and the nobles of all the land in one day.
So the old emperor wanted to make a test. If a magician didn't have the strength to solve the devil's problem in one day, it would be hard to believe that he had the ability to threaten the nobles of the whole land.
When that time comes, it is estimated that no matter how many things are promised now, it will be in vain. Even if the empire does not turn its back and refuse to admit its fault, it will drag on the matter for as long as it can.
The second point is to consume the opportunity of a certain magician to use robots. With the earth elemental plane now reconnected with the mysterious land, the robots also respond to the summons of ordinary magicians from time to time. Lin can believe that, regarding what he did in the elemental plane,
The information about the matter has long been revealed by the robot.
Firstly, I have not restricted them from revealing their own information; secondly, whether they are the former elemental elves or today's robots, their personalities remain the same as before and have not changed. In short, as long as the remuneration is in place, all of them will be the same.
If you have a big mouth, it won't help if you sew it up.
Therefore, Lin believes that many people should know that there is a limit to the number of times he can command robots. So wasting these times is tantamount to abolishing one of his deterrent capabilities, which should also be the goal of these powerful people.
.
The old emperor's last consideration was probably what he said: Humanity has shed too much blood and he is unwilling to see more sacrifices.
Not to mention that all the regular legions of the Gwana Empire are now at the forefront, and more than 70% of the private armies of the imperial nobles are on the battlefield. If the human coalition fighting against the abyss is destroyed, the Gwana Empire will be the most seriously injured.
So he must find a way to avoid such an ending.
However, even if all this is known to a certain magician, it will be difficult to refuse. Because this is an upright conspiracy. If you are unwilling to cooperate, then the insincere one will become the Yggdrasil party headed by Lin.
