Chapter 1325 Low-key hiding to find helpers, de-elvenization strategy
This is like nuclear weapons on earth. If the world does not allow them, then they will not be developed. Especially some regional powers, even if they are explicitly banned, they will still try their best to develop them privately.
Thinking about it this way, Xia Duo probably knew what he should do.
First of all, you must keep a low profile and not make any noise. Regarding this, Shado had actually been prepared before. He and Atwood had an agreement not to go to Seventon for ten years.
Otherwise, Atwood, who has now sensed the new natural holy power, must be on his way to Sevington.
Once Atwood arrives in Severton, he will inevitably have a conflict with the Order of the Golden Oak, and this will inevitably lead to being discovered by the elves.
Now that Atwood can safely stay in the southern border, it is considered a head start for Shado.
In addition to consciously maintaining the investigation, it is also necessary to prepare some proactive covert measures. Regarding this, Xia Duo has some ideas, but they are not perfect yet and cannot be perfected in a short time. He plans to ask Io when he goes to Severton.
Lem.
In addition, there is a new Druid that is different from the elves in humans. It is also necessary to communicate with Iolum. Shado does not think that he can handle this kind of thing alone, and he must pull more people taller.
The top is in front.
After clarifying his thoughts, the confusion and powerlessness in Xia Duo's heart disappeared immediately, but this matter was still like a shadow hovering in his mind, and no matter how he drove it away, it would never go away.
Looking at Atwood again, Shado felt even more complicated. He reorganized his emotions, got up from his desk, sat down opposite Atwood, and then spoke slowly:
"Elder Atwood, you gave me a big surprise this time!"
Atwood couldn't figure out the intention of the Lord's words for a while. It seemed like a compliment or a reproach, but he also had his own skills and said with a smile:
"Sir, all this is thanks to your guidance!"
"Okay, Elder Atwood, we haven't been together for more than a day or two. You should know that I am not a vain person."
Chateau waved his hand, interrupting Atwood's flattery, his expression became serious, and he said solemnly:
"Elder Atwood, in addition to the shared perception you should have guessed, there are also several very important things that I have come to see you about this time. I must explain them clearly to you face to face!"
Seeing that Sha Duo was serious, Atwood also put away his smile and gave his most determined attitude, "My lord, please give instructions. Atwood will resolutely implement them and live up to his mission!"
"Okay! Elder Atwood, I really saw you right!"
Xia Duo eased the overly serious atmosphere for a moment, and then continued: "The first thing is, from now on, don't take the initiative to use the natural holy power without my permission."
Upon hearing this, Atwood's expression suddenly changed and he quickly asked: "Sir, why is this?"
Xia Duo didn't explain much, just briefly mentioned - "Elf!"
At the mention of elves, Atwood's expression changed again, but instead of becoming more excited, he became a little defeated and a little lost.
It's not that he doesn't know what the existence of the new natural holy power means to the elves, he just doesn't want to think about it or believe it.
Before meeting the Lord, he was still immersed in the joy of gaining new natural holy power, imagining that with the protection of a senior arcanist, he would be able to ignore the threat of elves.
But now the words of the Lord Lord brought him back to reality——
The elves cannot be ignored!
Atwood's face looked a little ugly, but he still nodded vigorously, secretly swearing in his heart that everything he encountered now would be repaid by the elves in the future!
And Shado's next words made Atwood's already bad mood even worse——
"The second thing is, from now on, don't mention the term 'new natural concept', and don't deliberately promote it. If possible, it's best not to even mention the word 'nature'."
Perhaps thinking that it would be too cruel for a natural druid not to mention "nature", Xia Duo thought about it and came up with a compromise plan:
"The word 'nature' in Netherese comes from the Elvish language. Since we have expanded and extended the concept of 'nature', there is no need to continue to use the word 'nature' in the Elvish language. I think it can be used
The word '天' in Nese language refers to 'nature'."
The Nese language has developed rapidly due to the contact between the Nese people and the elves. However, because many concepts have no corresponding words in the Nese language, the Elvish language is quoted directly or in disguised form. "Nature" is the most typical example.
.
But common phenomena such as "sky", "earth", "river", and "mountain" still have corresponding words in the Nese language. Even primitive people will have such concepts.
The sky is high and far away, covering all directions, so it is appropriate to refer to "nature". In addition, "Druid" should also be renamed to prevent humans from being affected by the Elvish concept.
Language involves the right to interpret everything in the world, and the right to interpret is actually one of the most powerful forces in the world.
If the new nature concept is still swirling in the concept of elven design, then in the battle for the right to interpret, the first step will be at a disadvantage.
Changing the name, but keeping the essence, can temporarily avoid the strong elf culture, and use a new attitude to win the support of the broader human race.
It can also make the elves no longer have excuses for their intervention. If they intervene forcibly, it will definitely arouse greater will of humans to respond, which barely increases the cost of the elves' intervention. Perhaps it is this increase that makes them give up intervening!
But now, there is still a big gap in hard power between Netheril and the elven kingdoms. Forcibly "de-elvenizing" may be counterproductive.
This time, Xia Duo had the right opportunity. Of course, it can also be said that he was "forced to have no choice" and started the "de-elfinization" of the ideological field in advance.
…
Regarding Chateau's proposal, Atwood was silent for a moment and agreed, but it was not easy to make him give up the "nature" he had been familiar with for decades, especially from the bottom of his heart.
The change of thinking must be done cautiously, otherwise, the new natural holy power that Atwood has sensed may be destroyed.
The next third thing, Xia Duo proposed a plan that he had been thinking about for a long time——
"The third thing is what I thought of when I saw little Fanny. Not only him, but also other children in the territory. I hope Elder Atwood can enlighten them in magic!"
"yes."
Atwood agreed more readily this time. The new natural concept was not deliberately designed by the elves. It was a flawed Druid doctrine. The new natural concept did not resist magic.
Atwood has learned magic himself, and according to the current assessment standards of the Tower of Time, he is at least at the official mage level.
But after agreeing, he thought that if all children were given magic enlightenment, how many people would be willing to become druids in the future?
