"Jialan, I know you are very dissatisfied with my public statement on Everesca, but I don't think I did anything wrong!"
Although Elithel needs supporters very much, he will not blindly accommodate his supporters. Otherwise, who is the real ruler of Cormanthor?
It's just that his words now are in sharp contrast to his gentle attitude when he just came here.
The twelve patriarchs of the upper-ranking families were originally ready to listen to Eliser's explanation, no matter what reasons Eliser gave.
Even if those words were just made up and did not represent his true inclination, these twelve clan leaders would choose to believe him and continue to support him.
The key is still a matter of attitude!
They need Elithel's explanation or persuasion, but as for the real reason, that doesn't matter.
The interests of their family and the Ilisel family have long been highly bound together. Even if Ilisel's attitude changes, they will not be able to separate them in a short time.
Even in order to better preserve their strength in the pursuit and interception of other high-ranking families, they have to show closer to each other before they completely break up with the Elisir family!
It's just that they never expected that Eliser's attitude would actually change, which was almost difficult for them to accept.
Once upon a time, the crowned king of Ilisel, whom they regarded as their true king, who could lead them to accomplish their great cause, actually wanted to speak for those inferior races! He also wanted to give those races equal rights with them!
This is simply intolerable!
As soon as Eliser finished speaking, a clan leader suddenly stood up and walked straight towards the door without saying anything. However, he had just taken two steps when he was stopped by Eliser.
"Malores, I have a very good relationship with your father, and I watched you grow up. In your hundreds of years of memory, have I ever let you down?"
"It didn't happen in the past, but now, you make me very disappointed!"
Having said that, Malorys still stopped. He looked up at the majestic but tired face of the crowned king of Elisir, and decided to listen to the other party's explanation again.
Elisir walked down from the throne and came to the middle of Malorys, Jialan and other clan leaders. He sighed and said in a deep voice:
"From the moment the Northland Alliance was born, Northland entered a new era! But the new era did not completely change at that moment. The changes have been going on for a long time!
"It can be traced all the way back to the disintegration of Arivandar's rule, but you are unwilling to admit it, or in other words - you are willing to degenerate!
"You need to clearly understand what you are proud of? Is it the bloodline that distinguishes you from other races? Or is it the strength and power that can truly protect you from other races?
"There's another thing you need to understand clearly. Do you want Cormanthor, who unified the world in the prophecy, or Arifandar, who has long been annihilated in the long river of time?"
Having said this, Elisir paused, leaving some time for his supporters to think carefully, and at the same time, he was reflecting on his past.
Once upon a time, Osons, the crowned king of Jelensta, who was known as the "prophet", designed a "co-prosperity of the five races" route for the newly born Cormanthor.
It's just that back then, I jumped from the heir of a dilapidated family to the co-owner of all the forces in the new Cormanthor. It was inevitable that I was a little young and energetic, and I was unwilling to live the rest of my life under the prophet's plan.
Therefore, there was the idea of deviating from the "co-prosperity of the five races" and the supremacy of the golden elves, and the idea of the great elfism line, and used this to win over a considerable number of supporters.
Now he wants to go back and follow the "co-prosperity of the five races" route devised by King Ousensimian. Not to mention that these supporters disagree, even he himself has a hard time convincing himself.
Thousands of years of ruling inertia and ideological inertia cannot be changed overnight, but what Ilisel knows better is that times have changed.
It can even be said that times have changed a long time ago, but they are just unwilling to admit it!
…
The living room fell into silence. Although there was anger and dissatisfaction in the hearts of the twelve clan leaders, they were not completely unable to listen to Elisir's explanation.
While thinking about it, I suddenly heard Eliser's voice asking: "Do you know what I felt most deeply about in Everesca?"
"I don't know, is there anything in this world that King Mian has not seen?" Jialan asked doubtfully.
"hehe."
Elisir sighed secretly and shook his head, "What impressed me most in Everesca is that the human fishermen of the past are now on par with me!"
"The Crown King is talking about Netheril?" Gloriosa opened his eyes wide, and he could probably feel what Elithel was feeling.
"Yes, no matter how we influence and control humans, they are the same race after all and can be united into a whole at any time, but what about Cormanso? The problem of racial antagonism is serious enough that it must be resolved!"
"What King Mian said is a bit exaggerated. We are also a unified Tai'Quese clan!"
"Milos, now you know about the 'unified Ta'Quesser clan' again!"
Elisir did not mock the other party further. He knew very well that the reason why these supporters insisted on the Great Elfism of the supremacy of golden elves did not necessarily mean that they truly agreed with this concept!
It's more because agreeing with this concept has become the mainstream of Comanso in the past. Identifying with this concept can bring them more benefits and more stable power!
If changing their mindset can bring them more benefits and more solid power, change is not impossible, especially for those who have long been at the peak of power and have a deep understanding of power and interests.
"With the strength of your families, even if the five families are equal, it will not affect your power. On the contrary, equality will eliminate disputes. A fairer and more stable environment will also be conducive to our common rule!"
Speaking of this, Elisir returned to the throne again, looking down at the twelve golden elf clan leaders with different faces below. With the help of the Sword of Dominance, he would see the true psychology of these clan leaders.
Clearly.
Soon, the twelve clan leaders resigned one after another, saying that they needed to go back and think carefully.
…
After the twelve patriarchs of the upper-ranking families left, the living room fell into silence again. Elisir did not leave and was still sitting on the throne.
After a while, the clan leaders who left before came back here again, but a few of them were missing. Maloris, who was the first to get up and leave, was one of them!
"It's a pity that Mallorys and the others have given up on the new era!"
Jialan looked at the somewhat vague-looking but majestic King Irisel on the throne. Her heart moved, and she suddenly remembered a meaningful sentence her father once said to him -
