Chapter seven hundred and thirty seventh governance
"Why use a magic circle that has no effect?" This is the first question of the World Trees.
Lin replied: "There is no effect, which represents infinite possibilities. If a magic effect is fixed, it means that the characteristics of the lost land are fixed. Then the question is, from the demand side, what is the real need of the lost land itself?
What is it? It seems that any direction is possible and any method is good. When there are too many choices, it is no different from having no choice. So I would think that having no effect is the best effect."
"Then what do you mean by all-encompassing?" This is the second question of the World Trees.
"One is the position of the sun, and nine is the number of the sun, so one and nine are paired; two is the position of Shaoyin, and eight is the number of Shaoyin, so two and eight are paired; three is the position of Shaoyang, and seven is
The number of Shaoyang, so three and seven are paired; four is the position of Taiyin, and six is the number of Taiyin, so four and six are paired. Therefore, the number of Luo Shu is used to analyze Yi, the principle of Yin and Yang, and the odd and even numbers.
, the location, if it fits the knot, although the wording is not clear, it is inferred, just like pointing to the palms. With 'I (五)' as the center, the vertical and horizontal diagonals are stable and balanced, this is the four-dimensional
Theory. There are many truths behind this. If I were to explain it in detail, I would not be able to finish it in three days and three nights. Your majesties have amazing calculation skills, so why not freely deduce the truth behind this and whether it deserves the word 'all-encompassing'."
Someone said this, but there was no World Tree to figure it out with great concentration, because they had another question: "We have to do this and modify the magic circle naturally formed in this mysterious land. What is the reason?"
Lin thought for a while and said: "For example, the self-cultivation mentioned earlier does not actually involve the issue of promotion. That method is more like polishing yourself so that you can absorb and store more power. If power is water,
Your Majesty is a cup, and His Majesty Yggdrasil and Fasnas are faced with the situation that the cup is already full. If you want to hold more water, you have to find a way to make the cup bigger. And
The same situation exists for the lost land. There are eight powers, and each world tree connects eight worlds. This is the upper limit of the lost land. If you want to increase this upper limit so that you are no longer restricted, just
It is useless to work hard on your own, you must also find a way to make the container of Midi bigger."
"Then the magic circle you call 'Luo Shu' can do this?"
Faced with doubts, Lin replied: "I can't give a definite guarantee as to whether Luoshu can do this. But I can be sure that the original top-heavy primary meditation array can never do this, so it must be changed. And
There are two benefits to using Luo Shu as the Lost Land Formation. One is that there is no limit to the size of each node. This formation only cares about quantity. The strength of your majesties will not affect the function of Luo Shu.
It’s not functional anyway. It also avoids creating a situation where the present is perfect, but the future is unknown.”
For the first reason, all the trees rarely agreed. If we want to consider the situation of Quanmi Land, the condition is that we must limit our own growth. Even if we agree to cooperate, everyone is unwilling and unwilling. There can be no restrictions, yes
Best condition.
"The second benefit is that the main way to communicate and connect all nodes, that is, to connect all World Trees, is not to rely on terrain features that may change over time, but on the void channels that your majesties actively connect.
.As long as these forty-five nodes are protected, including those planned to be set up on dead trees, there will be no problem with the integrity of this formation. Relatively speaking, if any node is destroyed, or if any of your majesties
If someone is no longer willing to be bound by this and disconnects, then the Luoshu will no longer exist. It is both a weakness and a guarantee in the hands of your majesties. In addition, if the world tree develops in the future, it will not
It affects Luo Shu’s formation.”
"Then we don't want to transform the actual terrain of Lost Land?" Yushu asked.
Lin replied: "Changes still need to be made, but there is no urgency. You can do it quietly without making a big fuss and making it known to everyone. The advantage of doing this is that it can reduce possible resistance. After all, where the plan needs to be connected,
But it will cross the territory of humans, and it is not all natural environment. We only need to fight against the monsters. If we have to fight against people again, then there will be no end to this matter. Besides, even if we don’t change, we will be able to communicate with each other due to the World Tree.
Wouldn’t the influence of contact then affect the lost land, causing the topography and features to naturally change in this direction?"
"Perhaps, we can consider asking the human kingdom to join us in the transformation plan of Lost Land. They have manpower and more resources, why not use them." A World Tree suggested.
Lin shook his head and vetoed it. He said: "The so-called powerful person must be greedy, because what he considers is not the interests of one person, but the common interests of everyone who depends on him; the losses he is concerned about are not his.
The loss of one person is a loss that may happen to any of his supporters. Under such premise, how much price can your majesties pay in exchange for the help of the human kingdom or nobles? And this help can allow you to gain
Greater power, and the opportunity to reach a higher level; then how much is this help worth in the eyes of you, in the eyes of those kings or nobles?"
When the conversation changed, Lin shook his head and said: "And to be fair, I don't want the knowledge of 'Luo Shu' to be known to others. Even in this matter, there shouldn't be too many people involved, and the fewer people who know about it.
The better."
The reason why I dare to bring the scientific knowledge I know to the Mysterious Land is because the possible development of that knowledge can be predicted by myself. Since it can be predicted, it can be controlled. But what about the mystical knowledge of the earth? Seriously?
It’s the same as when you were back home, except for making people talk and pretending to be mysterious, is it useless?
If it was so useless, how could someone who knitted a Xuanwu pattern on his robe be played to the point of ecstasy?
If the earth's occult knowledge fails to exert any effect, it is like a tank without gasoline, no different from scrap iron. Then if the tank is filled with oil and cannonballs, it can still be called "scrap iron"
'Well. So if Luo Shu's array is placed on the ground, someone really doesn't dare to guarantee what will happen.
In this uncertain situation, the safest way is not to use it or mention it, just like what Lin did before. But if you have to use it, try to conceal and delay it from others knowing it.
Time. This can only be regarded as doing one's best and obeying fate.
However, the World Trees neither knew nor cared about someone's concerns. McKinen even said sarcastically: "Are you reminding us not to trust humans?"
"Of course, why should we trust humans? Cunning, selfishness, betrayal, and all the bad qualities imaginable can be seen in this race. Not to mention those pampered nobles and lords, the lives of civilian soldiers are in their eyes
They are no different from ants, so naturally we cannot expect them to have any integrity."
"What about your Excellency?" McKinnon asked pointedly.
"Of course I can't be trusted either. Why should you believe me? I'm not the world tree, I'm just a human being. Whether this group is good or bad has nothing to do with me. Under this premise, your majesties allow me to attend the high seat.
Meetings are inherently weird things. They even exposed some secrets that should be strictly guarded in front of me without hesitation. I really want to ask you, is this right?──"
Someone's confession made all the World Trees dumbfounded.
"──The difference between me and those noble lords is that I don't have the capital to repay the price of betrayal. So as long as both parties have made an agreement, I am more trustworthy than the devil."
The prompts were so clear, Yggdrasil asked directly: "What do you want?"
I finally brought up the issue of remuneration, otherwise it would always make people think that I am doing meritorious deeds. Lin did not feel any embarrassment, but said:
"Knowledge, the knowledge I gain in the process of helping you is my best reward. If I want to talk about the exact goals, there are indeed two. One is the space folding technology, which is what I have learned in Fasina
What Your Majesty has seen is that you can make a space larger or smaller, but it is not an illusion. The other thing is a landmark in a certain world. I believe these two pieces of knowledge can help you.
It was obtained in the process. But it would be great if your majesties are willing to tell the truth."
"A beacon of a certain world?" A beacon of a new world is the key to advancement for World Tree. Of course, it cannot be released casually. Even Yectrasil, who is an ancient,
There is no such authority to require other world trees to do this. If he wants it, he has to rob it.
Knowing that this request to World Tree is like asking to dig into a person's pocket. Anyone who dares to say this will be beaten to death, so high incense will be burned. So Lin explained: "Don't worry, I
It's not the World Tree, so I can't occupy this kind of thing. I think you can probably guess my origin. I just want to find a way to go back to the world where I came from."
In response to such a request, Yggdrasil said after a moment of silence: "Sir Tripwood, if you are looking for a landmark in a specific world, I can open up what I have access to for your observation and research.
But I must say that outsiders like you may not have followed the traces of any World Tree to the Lost World. In other words, your question may not be answered by us. In this way
Is that okay too?”
Lin performed the courtesy of a magician and said: "Your Majesty Yggdrasil is willing to cooperate, which is the greatest help to me. I have no reason to vent my anger on you because of any consequences, let alone on you.
Not being able to find the answer is also an answer."
"Indeed. Your Excellency, who wants to set up this huge magic circle in Mysterious Land, still has an unresolved problem. Have you ever thought about this?" asked the wise ancient man.
"Your Majesty, are you referring to the World Tree that is controlled by the Elf Kingdom and has not yet been liberated?"
