When the young Elf King, Ridan III, pushed open the door of the palace's government hall, he saw a sight he had never imagined. All the elves, regardless of friend or foe, looked like they were mourning for their heirs.
The ministers of the Kingdom of Armenia who were driven out of the government affairs hall had of course heard all the discussions between a certain human magician and the World Trees. They just didn't have the ability to stand up to that magician like Wildwalk Futeng.
That's all. But the despair is the same as that of the fat elf.
Of course, Ridan III did not know the psychological activities of this group of people. Anyway, as the losing party, it is normal for him to have an ugly face. But the wood elf coalition also had the same expression. What is going on? The young king looked incomprehensible.
.
Lin, who had been paying attention to the government hall, saw the door open and knew that there was a conclusion inside, so he went forward. Ridan III quickly put away his confused expression and said to the people outside: "Triplewood.
Your Excellencies, your Majesties, and all the lords of the Kingdom of Armenia, His Majesty Andrei has made a decision and will publicly announce it to you, please come in."
The old elf king sitting on the throne still has that solemn face. Even if he is at a disadvantage, he is still awe-inspiring and has no wavering expression. The ministers of the Kingdom of Amelan are holding the world tree clones in their hands.
The wood elves stood in two rows, on both sides of the long conference table.
Zhidan III stood on the side of the wood elves and accompanied him to the last seat. Even Liena Titov, who was holding Lahti's clone, was one seat ahead of him. Who asked this little king to sit in the original seat?
In the plan, he was an uninvited guest. Lin was sitting directly opposite the old king on the long-backed chair that had been moved from the high-seat meeting. Anyway, it was arrogant enough to lead troops to invade the house, so there was no need.
Keep pretending to be a grandson.
Seeing the two parties sitting down, both waiting for his answer. Andre Purier used his native language and said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, I have made a decision. In principle, I agree to liberate the world tree Chloe."
Bound. But——'
A twist and an emphasis temporarily suppressed the commotion that might have arisen on the minister's side.
'I have two conditions. If you cannot agree to these two conditions, then I can only regretfully reject your request and continue the fight.'
In order to express caution, the elves returned to their native language. Although Lin could also speak it, he did not want to follow the trend on this occasion and weaken his momentum. So he waved his hand and used the Common Tongue of Midi - in fact
It is also the language most commonly used by humans, - said: "Your Majesty Andre, please speak."
'You all know what the kingdom's ban on World Tree is. My first condition is that after liberating World Tree, even if we cannot continue to maintain a coexisting relationship, I hope that we can maintain a minimum level of friendship. I don't want you to
Support World Tree Chloe and launch any retaliatory action against the Kingdom of Armenia.'
With just a flash of thought, Lin reached a consensus with all the World Trees in the high-seat meeting space. He said: "We can agree to this condition. Maintaining a peaceful state will also help reduce the variables in our plan. There is no reason to disagree.
."
The old king raised his hand, continued to suppress what his ministers wanted to say, and said the second condition he proposed. 'In fact, I cannot decide what to do with the World Tree Chloe Yi alone.
.The elders in the Shenmu Guards will not obey my orders. So in terms of the attitude of the Kingdom of Amelan, I agree; but you have to convince the people of the Shenmu Guards yourself.'
This condition is a bit like dumping the blame, leaving the troubles that cannot be solved by oneself to the person who wants to take over to find a way to solve it. However, if the degree of this is not clearly understood, it may cause other troubles. So Lin asked tentatively:
"His Majesty's wishes, can we use 'any method' to persuade?"
'Rather than using any method, let's just say that you have to be ready for a fight. Those old stubborns are not as easy to talk to as I am, and there will definitely be a battle between the two sides.'
At this time, the corners of the old king's mouth seemed to have lost control, and they raised slightly. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell. But the attitude of gloating about misfortune is self-evident.
However, people here are not afraid of fighting. They are most afraid of various conditions that tie their hands and feet, and they will not be able to display their abilities. Therefore, no World Tree expressed any unnecessary opinions on the conditions proposed by the old elf king.
The attitude between World Tree and World Tree has always been to fight, with the winner devouring the loser. Like now, discussions are rare. Therefore, World Tree and the Wood Elves are not afraid of being threatened with a fight.
. It can even be said that without a fight, it would not be like a conquest and exchange between World Trees.
"Okay." Lin agreed, "Does His Majesty Andre have any other requests?"
'No, just these two points. Under the siege of the kings, it would appear to be unreasonable to impose too many conditions. In fact, if these two conditions are not met, the covenant between us will be the same.
If it doesn't exist, I really don't want to talk about it.'
"It's a covenant." Lin turned his eyes towards Ridan III. The little king was a little shy and dodgy at first. Later, he simply sat up straight, looking straight ahead like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
I just don't dare to look at other people.
The discussion was completed in an instant in the space of the high-seat meeting. Lin said on behalf of all the World Trees: "In order to protect the World Tree and allow our plans to proceed smoothly, it is imperative to form an alliance with your country. So.
On behalf of your majesties, I recognize this covenant and become a brotherly nation with your country. Your country will have the same status as the Kingdom of Pyat Jaime and all the wood elf tribes, but this also means necessary sacrifices. According to
No one can ask for the spirit of mutual assistance of the Turtle Dove Alliance unilaterally, and no one has to give it unilaterally. Is it possible for His Majesty Andre to accept this request?"
‘I agree. And I will do my best to convince the elders of the kingdom.’ Andre Priel stood up, put his hand on his chest, and bowed.
This is the etiquette agreed by the elves. There is no hugging, shaking hands, kissing on the cheek or other actions. This is because the elves' interpersonal relationships are relatively distant, and they are not willing to get too close to those who are not close enough.
Even touching the body of a king or noble person is an offensive act.
Although someone is not familiar with the etiquette of elves, at least he should understand some taboos in advance to avoid committing the absurd tradition of "if you uncover the mask, you have to marry the person back, or be hunted for thousands of miles." As for the previous elven kingdom
What the etiquette officer taught had been thrown out of the window a long time ago. So Lin only responded with the etiquette of a magician, which was the most familiar and appropriate thing for him.
After the salute, Lin returned to his usual relaxed posture and said: "Since we have decided to cooperate, please let your Majesty know the location of the World Tree in your country. We will handle the matter as soon as possible."
Regarding the anxious attitude of a certain magician, the old king was a little puzzled and said: "Your Excellency Tripwood, it will take several days to march from the royal city to the location of the World Tree Chloe. You are not in our royal city.
Spend the whole day practicing, get ready, and start again early tomorrow morning?"
Regardless of whether the other party plans to use delaying tactics, they will raid the resting Wood Elf coalition at dawn tomorrow to solve their big trouble in one fell swoop. Lin could only sneer at the old king's words. How many days will the march take? Even if
It will take a few years, but that's just the same thing.
However, since the other party was so cooperative, it would be unreasonable to have to undermine him in person. So Lin restrained his urge to complain about the other party, and instead appeared next to the old king in a flash, and smoothly pulled out the box cutter from under his small cloak.
The blade of the box-cut version of the Blue Wave Sword is not mirror-finished, but has a stone-washed non-reflective blade. It is restrained and looks more threatening. Drawing a knife next to a king will cause a lot of bad things.
Lenovo. Fortunately, the people who can enter the government affairs hall are all people with a certain status or above. Those impulsive guards or young people are still blocked out.
Andre Purier was thinking about who would win between him and the magician if he took action. Lin threw the box in his hand, caught the blade, and held out the handle.
The hilt of the knife was brought to him, and the old elf king reached out to take it without thinking. But what was the intention behind this magician's move? Was he giving the knife to represent peace? Or...
Before Andre Priel could think clearly, Lin summoned him in a flash, took Hakakiri back into his hand, and then inserted it back into the scabbard under his small cloak. At the same time, he turned to everyone and said: "I have already
Now that we know the location of World Tree Chloe, I will go over to establish the reference coordinates first, and you can follow later."
After saying that, someone who was about to leave suddenly turned his head and looked at the old elf king. Without thinking for a long time, he put his hand on the old king's shoulder and said: "Since this is the world tree of your country, I think
Your Majesty, please come and take a look together. In case there are any problems in the future, your Majesty and the people in your country will mistakenly think that we are the cause, which is not good."
Without waiting for Andre Priel's consent, Lin took the old king and disappeared from the sight of the elves.
In addition to the disappearance of the victim and the king, the allied forces of the Wood Elves and the Kingdom of Pyat Jaime scattered throughout the palace were also in chaos. Everyone gathered in squadrons near the stick holder holding the transfer staff. The count was reported with
There were constant sounds of confirmation. As soon as all the members of a team arrived, the person holding the staff would strike the ground with his staff and instantly transfer a squadron of hundreds of elves.
Just like they suddenly appeared, as one team after another flashed and moved, the palace returned to its original tranquility. Only a group of elven ministers were left looking at each other. Only traces of battle proved that there had been an invasion of wood elves here.
