It's not that there aren't elves who have some thoughts that they shouldn't have. But when they remember that the elven assassin, who is a transcendent, not only failed to succeed, but also lost his own life, all unnecessary thoughts immediately disappeared.
Regardless of whether it is the Elf Guards who have complained before and believe that someone is the source of all mistakes, or the members of the Divine Wood Guards who are indignant that the elders and strong men they admire died at the hands of a certain magician, Now all the elves seem to have collective amnesia, pretending to have forgotten everything that happened before.
In the days that followed, whenever they saw that human being passing by, the elves would stand on the roadside in fear, bow their heads and greet him: "Your Excellency Tripwood." Except for the fact that they probably didn't kneel down on their knees, the elves probably didn't kneel down to salute. They were more respectful when they saw this man than when they saw their king.
He was still able to maintain his original attitude of being neither big nor small. Apart from the lich and the two apprentices, there was the heartless silver-bearded dwarf Jermaine who had the tendency to evolve into a technology nerd. He sneaked in sneakily. At the camp, he shook up someone who was hiding on the bed and sucking the cat, and said: "Hey, big brother, I have an idea. What do you think about letting the peaceful armed forces use your new weapon?"
This stupid idea couldn't be more stupid, making someone's mood not sure whether to get better or worse. In this dazed moment, his hand was released. The calico kitten, as if it had been forgiven by God, broke free and jumped down. , he got out of the tent in a flash and ran away without looking back.
Grabbing his free hands, someone felt a little pity in his heart. However, looking at the dwarf who was squinting, Lin smiled angrily and said: "I want to install everything on the Peace Arms, but that little thing can handle it." ? Not everyone can afford the energy consumption of the M134 machine gun."
"No problem! Don't you think the picture of the Peace Arms holding the machine gun you mentioned is very majestic? It must be okay! The most valuable thing about the Peace Arms is that it comes with a small energy pool. It provides power. This is not a big problem. .As long as you agree to lend me the machine gun for research, I will figure out the complete matching parts, and I must make sure that the two are perfectly combined."
Of course you can. Powered armor and multi-barreled machine guns are standard equipment. It’s hard to find a more violent combination than this. But the question is, can the small body of the Peace Arms be able to carry this crazy version of the M134? That’s quite a lot Despite the speed of the machine gun's energy consumption, even a certain guy with a lot of money couldn't bear it.
However, Lin has always been very interested in the energy center system of the Peace Arms. But on the one hand, because he is not familiar with the Peace Arms, he dare not make rash changes; on the other hand, it is also because several silver-bearded dwarves often avoid talking about this device. Even Jermaine, a loudmouth, was very cautious in his words and deeds under Marit's supervision. Lin stopped touching this dwarf's sensitive nerves.
Since it was Jermaine who took the initiative to ask for it, Lin was happy to let the dwarf fiddle with it. Although the multi-barreled machine gun was a big treasure that he valued very much, it was not to the extent that no one could touch it. He just wanted to show it off on a regular basis. , and no one will understand its value. Every time when it is wiped and maintained, there will be a feeling of regret. Until today, it really shines... without those two annoying apprentices complaining.
After receiving the permission, Jermaine couldn't wait to get into the work of integrating the two systems. In addition, the following days were all kinds of aftermath work.
Including the Minister of War using the elven communication magic circle he regained control of, mobilizing the elven armies gathered from various places to encircle and suppress the fleeing centaur remnants.
The elves staying in the territory of the World Tree naturally cleaned up this messy battlefield. Although Halumi set a fire to burn the centaur's dead body, the corpse was not so easy to ignite, and the power contained in M134 was exhausted.
After that, there was still a large area of the battlefield that had not been cleaned up, and the elves naturally had to clean up the rest.
There is also the screening of those members of the Shenmu Guards who have fought each other with swords. Determine who can still be used and who cannot be used, how deeply involved they are, and what the corresponding punishment is.
We originally hoped that the Shenmu Guards could atone for their sins in the war against the centaurs, whether they were the king's side or the side that had betrayed them. But all the credit was taken away by a certain magician who suddenly appeared.
He left and robbed others so that they didn't even dare to say a word, so they could only choose other ways to atone for their sins.
Another unavoidable question is the attitude of the Elf Kingdom towards World Tree in the future; for someone, it is whether his work of assisting World Tree to advance can continue. Of course, Lin still maintains his consistent attitude towards this, can he
It was fine for him to continue. So during several days of discussion, he focused on the secret that the elves had not yet revealed, the communication magic circle.
When I was investigating the small village of Shushan, I originally targeted this communication magic circle. Unexpectedly, I found the magic circle used to kill the gods directly, which then triggered a series of events. Later I thought that there would be no chance to see this magic circle, but for a
During a multi-party meeting, someone who was invited to attend saw the true face of this communication magic circle.
Although there is only sound transmission, it can link to the communication magic circle in multiple places at the same time. And you can talk freely. There will be no one-way restriction that you can't talk when you are listening, and you can't listen when you are talking. So in the meeting, you are not just left behind.
The prime minister of the kingdom from the royal capital attended, as well as the six generals stationed at the six border fortresses, as well as the archdruids from the farms in various places.
It is not entirely unreasonable for the Kingdom of Pyat Jaime to choose a completely different path from that of the wood elves. In the tribe of the wood elves, those who have not received the blessing of the World Tree are not qualified to live. And the so-called blessing is the conclusion of a
Soul contract.
In fact, just mentioning this part reminded someone in the audience of the eugenics and ethnic cleansing policies implemented by a certain nation in the history of the earth. Although he did not know the details behind it, someone just thought that the elves and the world
There is some kind of cruel behavior in the symbiotic relationship between trees. The only difference lies in which party is the perpetrator and which party is the victim.
Maybe those speculations are not supported by evidence, but to use a sentence often seen in detective novels, when all hypotheses that are contradictory to the evidence are eliminated, no matter how bizarre the remaining ones are, they will be the truth.
But even if someone didn't want to go too deep, he was still found. Most of the ministers, generals and archdruids who were qualified to attend the discussion, after understanding the reason why the Shenmu Guards had not announced it to the world for a long time, they all agreed.
Maintain existing national policies and are unwilling to make changes.
However, the weak king did not think so. He hoped to liberate the shackles of the World Tree and help it successfully advance and gain more power. If we go further, it is what Lin once mentioned about all the World Trees in the land.
The growth also represents the inference of the overall growth of the land. The young king hopes that he can play his part in this matter.
But except for the young elf king and the three-flowered kitten who was involved, almost no one supported this idea. So Ridan III once again cast a look for help, hoping that he would be on the same side as him.
Human magicians can exert their influence. But when encountering a man who has been pretending to be dead, Ridan III had to ask: "Sir Tripwood, what do you think about this matter?"
The ministers present were quite dissatisfied with the king's actions. Not to mention that one was an outsider and should not express opinions or even appear in such a place. But... who dares to disobey him now? Maybe in the communication magic
The elves on the other side of the formation couldn't understand, but everyone present couldn't bring themselves to resist at all.
As for the previous hints, someone could pretend not to see it. But since they have all been asked by name, it would be quite rude to continue to pretend to be dead, so Lin had to speak. But before that, he was always
The tired little cat ran to him and held him down, then said: "If you want to ask my opinion, it is that I agree with the opinions of your ministers, Your Majesty."
The first person to react violently to the unexpected speech was of course the most important person involved, the incarnation of Lahti, the world tree. Unfortunately, Lin held down the kitten earlier, and no matter how hard it struggled, it was useless. The other one
The surprised young elf king was dumbfounded and murmured: "But... you..."
"I said, I don't have any position. And to be honest, I'm not very familiar with either of you. So if I have to make a choice, I will only choose the option that is less harmful. I believe everyone involved in the discussion
, not all of them agree to use that method to control World Tree. But why would you rather choose to maintain the past practices instead of trying to change it? Let me make a guess, that is, you are afraid. Although you don’t want to admit it,
But I am worried in my heart that if the restrictions on World Tree are relaxed, then the elves will pay the price for their past actions."
"How could such a thing happen?" Ridan III exclaimed.
"Is it possible? You can ask your ancient allies." Lin pointed to the silver-bearded dwarves standing aside, "-they have experience with the guardians' rebellion and wanting to kill the entire tribe.
Rich. In my opinion, the mistakes you have made are similar to those made by the dwarves. All judgments are based on your own 'thinking'; you have never thought about the thoughts of the Guardian, or the World Tree.
"
At this time, the struggling kitten calmed down, turned its head to the side, and looked at the deserted place, unwilling to meet the eyes of any elf. Seeing this, Lin smiled and continued: "And
Judging from my experience of helping a World Tree advance, the failure rate of helping Lahti advance is quite high."
Not only was the young king interested in such a conclusion, but other experienced elves also wanted to know why, including the kitten in his hand. Although he could not turn his head completely, the kitten still twisted as much as possible.
Turn your head and look at someone out of the corner of your eye.
