Chapter 898: Clan Meeting
After merging the Dragon Domain into the Dream Realm, whether or not the Wood Spirit Yuan Clan joined was not too important to Jiang Yan. However, if he could be brought under his command again, Jiang Yan would certainly not refuse.
Anyway, the other party is also a big force in the Lingzi World, even if the strength is much worse than that of the Dragon Domain and Heaven, but the help to the Dream Kingdom after accepting it is actually not too small.
However, as the exploration of the Void Spirit Relic Realm was about to begin, Jiang Yan didn't have the patience to continue to wait for the Wood Spirit Queen to think about it slowly.
Because if the Wood Spirit Queen really made a decision after the operation of the Void Spirit Relic Realm was over, it would not be in the interests of Jiang Yan and the Dream Realm.
If it was really as the Wood Spirit Queen expected, what chance did they get from the Wood Spirit Yuan Clan in the exploration of the Void Spirit Relic Realm, even if it was not enough to ensure the future survival of the Wood Spirit Yuan Clan, but only the strength of the Wood Spirit Yuan Clan was greatly improved, that was not what Jiang Yan and other high-level leaders of the Dream Realm wanted to see.
Because the stronger the Wood Spirit Yuan Clan becomes, the more chips they have to pay when they want to pull them into the realm, and the larger the 'cake' share that the other party needs to occupy after joining the kingdom.
Now if you want to subdue the Mu Ling Yuan Clan, because of the difference in strength between the two sides, the conditions required by the other party will be relatively low for the country, but after a while, the Mu Ling Yuan Clan will become stronger and have more confidence, so it is likely that the conditions discussed at that time will not be as simple as now.
Therefore, Jiang Yan naturally would not let the Wood Spirit Queen get her wish. Even if the two sides got along fairly well before, he would not show mercy when it came to the conflict of interests between the two forces.
Before the exploration of the Ethereal Relic Realm begins, forcing the Wood Spirit Queen to make the final decision now is the most beneficial outcome for him.
Even if Queen Mu Ling chose to refuse, it didn't matter, because then Jiang Yan wouldn't need to miss the old feelings too much. In the unlikely event that the two sides clash during their trip to the Ethereal Relic Realm, his side can also be free to act in the interests of the kingdom as a priority.
Listening to Jiang Yan's insipid urging words with a bit of oppression, the helplessness in Queen Wood Spirit's eyes became even worse.
"Alas...... Your Majesty, since you've been graciously waiting for so long, why don't you wait a little longer?"
Jiang Yan shook his head: "Okay, Queen, there is no need to say these words again! The patience of this seat is not as much as you imagined, now, I just want to ask you an answer." ”
"......" After being silent for a while, Queen Wood Spirit sighed softly: "Your Majesty, something happened suddenly, can you please wait a little longer and allow the concubine to communicate with the people? After all, this is an important choice related to the fate of the people, and the concubine wants to listen to their thoughts one last time." ”
"If it's just a little bit of time, it's fine. Jiang Yan thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said, "You can come back tomorrow to reply to this seat." With the Soul Communicator linked to Montnets as a means of communication, I believe that if it is used to collect public opinion, even if it is only for one day, it will be more than enough, right?"
The implication in Jiang Yan's words was that at most, he would only give the Mu Ling Yuan clan another day to think about it. If the Wood Spirit Queen really wanted to find another excuse to drag it out until the end of the operation in the Void Spirit Relic Realm, then Jiang Yan would treat her as if she had chosen to give up.
"Thank you for your understanding. Queen Wood Spirit smiled and agreed.
Subsequently, the two sides ended the communication.
In the secret realm of the Druids, in a hidden enchantment deep in the Temple of Mother Nature, the Queen of Wood Spirit sat on the throne composed of a sea of flowers, looking at the dim communication window in front of her, with a bit of pity on her pretty face.
"That's really ...... There is no room for anyone. Pinching her eyebrows, Queen Wood Spirit wiped away the gloom on her face, her pretty face quickly calmed down, and then grabbed the scepter beside her and stood up.
With the flick of his hand, the invisible and obscure spiritual power fluctuations spread out, and along a connection, it directly penetrated the enchantment and entered the perception of the elders of the highest level of the druids who were hiding in various parts of the secret realm and were concentrating on cultivation.
Outside, in the prayer room of the temple, the white-bearded, old-faced Grand Elder Hemsensingucarion I was practicing the daily prayer meditation.
Therefore, when he received the message from the Wood Spirit Queen for the first time, he immediately opened his closed eyes, and there was a little surprise in his eyes that were not cloudy at all.
But this did not prevent him from acting according to the instructions of the Wood Spirit Queen.
Dragging his gray beard that almost fell to the floor, Hemson turned and walked out of the prayer room, but instead of taking his sacrificial staff, he picked up a pendant-shaped corpse communicator that had been placed next to him, and his movements were not very skillful, but he quickly unraveled the several layers of seals he had previously placed on it.
Confirm user permissions, Lord Hemson, it's been a long time, and it's nice to see that your body is as tough as ever.
After the sealing technique was lifted, the corpse communicator heard the plain greeting of Zhi Brain without the slightest emotion.
"Hmm. I'm sorry, I've been restricting you with the sealing technique. Hemson picked up the communicator, hung it on the chest of his robe, and said apologetically.
Don't mind, this machine is already used to it, after all, as a high-level of the Wood Spirit Yuan Clan, you need a lot of space. Zhi Brain still said in an extremely flat tone, and there was no dissatisfaction in the slightest because he was often sealed and restricted.
For a brain soul like it that has completely intellectualized its thinking, even if it is almost completely limited by so many layers of sealing techniques, it is like being locked up, but it will not feel 'bored' or anything like that.
Because in the soul that has been transformed by data, there will no longer be the kind of useless emotions that are superfluous to the brain.
So, do you have any instructions this time?" Lingshu Zhizhi took the initiative to end this kind of greeting, and asked Hemson straight to the point.
"Well, help me contact the other elders in the secret realm, as well as all the high-ranking members of the Holy Sect, including the Supreme Pope of 'Karion IX', as well as the 'elders' of the major clans in the clan, and also inform ......" Heimson said in a solemn tone: "Tell them to convene a general assembly of the whole clan in the name of Her Majesty the Mother God!"
The Soul asked for the details and made a suggestion: If you can, I suggest that you put the place where the next clan meeting will be held in the dream world, so that it will be more convenient.
"No need. Hemson shook his head, rejecting the Psychic Brain's suggestion.
Although it is true that as the Lingshu Zhizhi said, if the place of the clan meeting is chosen in the dream world, it will be very convenient in terms of convening people and exchanging information, but the content to be discussed at this clan meeting, the Mu Lingyuan clan does not want outsiders to participate.
And if it is chosen in the dream world, where will the content of their clan be secret to the dream country. Especially when the subject of this meeting is deeply involved in the fantasy country, Hemson does not want to get involved.
So, where do you plan to choose the location of this clan meeting? Even if the kind-hearted suggestion was rejected instantly, the Lingshu Zhizhi did not have any unnecessary emotional fluctuations in this regard, and continued to ask very calmly.
"It's better to be in the temple as before. Hemson decided without much thought: "By the way, let the Knights Cathar also dispatch this time to escort the elders of all clans to the secret realm to participate in the clan meeting as soon as possible." ”
Good.
In less than two or three seconds, it completed Heimson's order: the message has been sent to the psychic communicator of everyone in your designated range, and as long as the other party is still within the range of the telematicator, the message should have been received at this moment. The few people who are in a state where it is inconvenient to receive the summons have also used other methods to replace the notification.
According to the information that has been handed over to other corpse communicators in various places, it is expected that in at least half an hour, and at most two hours, the members invited to participate in the clan meeting will basically arrive here.
"Well done. Hemson nodded slightly, very satisfied with the efficiency of the Lingshu Brain.
If he was to do it himself, using a special teleportation technique, although he could quickly notify those people, the efficiency was definitely not as convenient and fast as the Lingshu Brain.
As Zhi Brain said, just an hour later, all the members who were qualified to participate in this clan meeting had already gathered in the secret realm of the Druid Holy Land.
Just a rough count, there are nearly 100 people here. And the temple of Mother Mother Nature is not very magnificent, but very simple, so just the inside of the temple, of course, cannot accommodate so many people.
As a result, they were arranged into the Flower Sea Divine Domain that the Wood Spirit Queen had opened up with the divine power condensed by the divine power of the Mother Mother Goddess of Nature.
With excitement and a bit of a heavy heart, a group of people gathered in the venue specially prepared by the Queen of Wood Spirit in the sea of flowers, and sat among the tables and chairs woven of soft and comfortable vines and blades of grass, and looked at the shadow of the Flower Throne sitting not far away.
Looking at the members of the Wood Spirit Yuan Clan in front of her, who were looking at her with faith and reverence in their eyes, Queen Wood Spirit couldn't help but have a touch of tenderness in her eyes.
Among them, there are not only humans, but also many wood spirit tree people who have differentiated from wooden puppet clones that represent their will, about the size of ordinary people, and a small and slender figure with translucent leaf-like emerald green wings on their backs, delicate and pointed ears, handsome or beautiful appearances, and petite and slender figures.
Those creatures with emerald green wings are all the same clan of the Wood Spirit Queen, that is, the true form of the Wood Elemental Elves and the Wood Spirit Tree Body. As a transcendent elven race closely linked to the Wood Spirit Yuan Clan, this time, under the order of the leader of the clan, the Queen, they unusually sent all the high-ranking members of the clan to participate in this kind of clan meeting that only a few representatives had been sent to participate in the past.
"Ladies and gentlemen...... Queen of the Wood Spirit looked around, her gaze swept over the bodies of the believers and clansmen, and a heavy color appeared on her gentle and beautiful face.
"First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to you for taking time out of your busy schedule to respond to the summons of the concubine. Although there is a lot to say, we don't have much time, and the concubine body will get straight to the point. Presumably, you all knew about the situation more or less in advance before you came, right?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly, but they all maintained a harmonious silence, and did not rush to stand up and interrupt the Wood Spirit Queen's speech.
Seeing this, Queen Wood Spirit smiled and continued: "So, what we want to discuss this time is a decision related to the future fate of our clan, whether our clan should completely join the dream kingdom, devote itself to the command of that dream lord, and accept the rule from now on, in exchange for the guarantee of our clan's future?"
"I think all of you here already have some understanding of the end of this world, right? What is certain is that at present, our own people do not have the ability to deal with this calamity. As early as five years ago, several prophets of our race had already made predictions about the current situation, and received the revelation that the Dream Realm could bring our people a path to avoid the catastrophe of the end of this world and move towards a future where there is hope. ”
In the crowd, several gray-haired old men stood up at this moment, bowed slightly to the Wood Spirit Queen under the respectful gaze of everyone, and nodded, expressing their affirmation of the Queen's words.
The queen smiled back at the old men, and continued:
"But after the concubine really came into contact with her, although it was roughly determined that the Dream Realm did have the possibility of bringing a future that would bring our clan in line with the revelation, His Majesty the Dream Lord, who was in charge of the Dream Realm, put forward the conditions for our clan to be invested in the command on the grounds of a transaction. ”
Although the concubine did not directly agree to it at that time, and temporarily shelved the transaction with the other party on the grounds of careful consideration, the root of the problem still exists. ”
"If allowed, of course, it would be better for our people not to fall into the grip of outsiders. Putting one's own initiative and destiny in the hands of outsiders is a road that can only be taken as a last resort. The original plan of the concubine was to consider turning to the dream realm after the trip to the Ethereal Relic Realm, if the status quo still did not change. ”
"But it's a pity that the situation no longer allows the concubine to do that...... His Majesty obviously didn't want our clan to remain as vacillating as it is now during their trip to the Ethereal Relic Realm. ”
"So, guys, it's time for everyone to make a choice. ”
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, such as helplessness, resentment, bitterness and other emotions, Queen Wood Spirit also sighed and smiled bitterly.
