Chapter 213 The so-called ideal

Caesar's question caused a silence in Jicia, and her expression froze for a moment, and it was only after a half-sound that the black dragon heard a brief sigh.

“…… All things are created unequal. ”

Garcia sighed and stopped helping the black dragon wipe his scales: "You're right, this is indeed an irrefutable truth. ”

But even so, with our best efforts, we are doing our best to create a free, harmonious, and equal homeland, what is wrong? This is what all good races aspire to, and the Elven Forest is working in this direction. And the reason why the moon god chose me is probably because of this. ”

You're right, the world isn't equal, but we're willing to work for it to make it better – in a way that distills the central idea, Caesar mentally retraces what Garcia said, finds out what she stands for, and then thinks about it and finds that the core is true.

He suddenly admired Garcia.

It is precisely because of these good races full of beliefs and ideals, each of them doing their best and taking action, the struggle between good and evil, creating countless heart-wrenching epics and legends, that makes Eladia so colorful and magnificent, and not reduced to a boring world like the kingdom of God and hell.

It's a pity that he is Caesar, the master of the Black Wing Lair, the Elven Queen has faith that must be adhered to, and the Black Dragon Lord must also let his will be implemented, so even if he is a little unbearable, he still uses cold words as a sword: "But do you think, or rather, do you really think in your heart that the Elven Forest is on the right path?" ”

"Of course, I do."

Garcia nodded without hesitation, and the atmosphere fell into a strange silence, and after a while, she asked with a little hesitation, "Why do you ask that?" ”

"Garcia, your ideals of faith are beautiful and worthy of admiration."

Caesar sighed and said, "It's a pity, it seems to me that you are on the wrong path, and the tradition you adhere to is very stupid. ”

"Stupid? I don't understand why you say that. ”

The black dragon's words pierced her heart, and Garcia suddenly stood up, wanting to retort fiercely.

But Caesar glanced at her, and the slave girl palpitated slightly, and slowly sat down on her knees again, but she said firmly: "Our traditions and principles come from our ancestors, who were the founders of the Elven Forest, and the great heroes, warriors, and wise men of the Second Age; Even as an ancient dragon, you have no right to insult them. ”

"Maybe, maybe they were great, but now they're different. Everything is changing, humans and dwarves are on the rise, the era of dragon rule is long over, and the orcs are trampled underfoot, and even the devil and demons are hard to find. ”

Caesar said, "But you are still holding fast to the traditions and principles that were obsolete by the Third Age, waiting to perish." What would your ancestors do if they could wake up from their eternal sleep and see the Elven Forest finally burned to ashes? ”

Garcia's fingers trembled slightly, even if the queen was perfect and had no weaknesses, she could not avoid the Elven Forest becoming her weakness: "...... Could you please be more clear. ”

"Haven't I said that clearly enough?"

The black dragon grabbed the feminine Tia elf, held it in his claws, and looked at her, "Listen, Garcia. Even if there is no nest of black wings, there will be nests of red wings and nests of white wings, and the forest of elves that rely on gnawing on the savings of the past can only tremble and survive. ”

"Why did I attack the Elven Forest, and why did you appear in the Blackwing's Lair? What dragged you into the mud when you tried to make the right choice? Answer me! ”

"Yes...... Parliament? Garcia thought for a moment and subconsciously replied.

"There is no shortage of strength in the Elven Forest, but you can't even resist a lone black dragon, what is the constant delay and belated?"

"Yes...... Elders. ”

"Really?"

Caesar sneered: "Why do these stupid and rotten fellows dare to disobey your decision? Repeatedly sticking to the wrong path and bringing disaster to the Elven Forest? He had learned a number of reasons from Luna.

"The council has the power to interfere with or even veto the Elven King's decisions, but all important matters must be discussed and approved by the Council of Elders before they can be implemented."

Garcia's voice was bitter: "...... This is our traditional law. ”

"I see."

After some Q&A, Caesar shifted the focus of the conversation back to the original position, grasping Garcia's words to cut into the depths: "The elders are just minions spawned by the system, and your so-called traditional laws and equal division of power are the real culprits." ”

“……”

Garcia didn't answer, the Elven Forest system stemmed from the decisions of the ancient sages, which were the common ancestors of all creatures in the Elven Forest, and she couldn't and didn't dare to criticize herself easily.

"Looks like you still don't understand." Caesar grabbed her, crawled a little outside the palace, and said to the wyvern guards who were living outside, "Go and get that Wren guy." ”

Soon, the half-lich arrived.

Speaking of which, this was the second time Wren had stepped into the Emerald Palace, the last time it had met the Dragon King for the first time, and since this guy had scared Luna, Caesar had kept him as far away as possible.

Without being summoned, Wren could only walk to the canopy fortress and must stop.

"Show her."

When the half-lich arrived, Caesar said, "I promised you that I would send you back as soon as the Elven Forest sent a messenger to ask for it, but why are you still being enslaved by the dragon?" ”

As ordered, Wren nodded and pulled out the engram that could retrace the image.

During this time, it only did one thing, that is, according to the instructions of the Black Dragon Lord, it deeply monitored the operation of the Elven Forest, although its strength was limited, and it could not be perfect and well-understood, but it still recorded a lot of useful information.

Caesar showed Garcia the scene of the Elven Queen being taken captive by the Black Dragon Lord and the elders of the council discussing and discussing.

The whole process is that one elder raises the issue, one elder immediately opposes, and the rest mediates slowly, suggesting that the elder propose another plan, and then the elder opposes, and the rest continues to mediate......

This process is actually quite tedious, and Garcia has experienced it many times, but as a person concerned, he may not feel that there is anything wrong with it, but if you stand in the perspective of a bystander, you will immediately despair of the pedantic ignorance of these elders.

There are five or six similar clips, all with different scenes, indicating that such discussions have been going on for at least five or six days.

However, they never took action.

- Pathetic efficiency and parliamentary system.

Caesar noticed that Garcia's hands were slowly clenching.

It stands to reason that the Elven Queen is very firm about the core idea, and it is difficult for the Black Dragon Lord to influence it and reverse the corruption, but the crux of the matter is that the system itself is indeed problematic.

When the ancestors of the Elven Forest established this system, they were convinced that it was excellent and efficient, not only to indicate the ultimate ideal of equality for all, but also to help the leader himself to be thoughtful and biased.

Under this premise, they will formulate the parliamentary system and carry it forward.

Unfortunately, even the gods could not have predicted what the final development of things would be, let alone the ancestors and sages of the Elven Forest - with thousands of years of continuous alternating evolution, addition, subtraction and modification, the power of the Elven Forest Council of Elders is gradually expanding, and the power to speak is increasing from generation to generation, and so far, they have even reached the point where they can veto the will of the Elven King with one vote.

This has completely deviated from the original intention of the ancestors of the Elven Forest.

On the other hand, as the descendants of the Elven Forest, they can only passively adapt to this system, and it is difficult to grasp the true meaning of its original meaning, even if some scholars can get a glimpse of it from ancient books, but they have not personally experienced that ancient era, and cannot have a real experience of empathy.

As a result, the Elven Forest is now very vulnerable to external influences, from outside ideologies of good or evil or neutral, and after that, their original views will change more or less.

It's no wonder that today's Elven Forest is closed off from the rest of the world, minimizing its dealings with the outside world – precisely because times have long since changed, their systems are outdated and rotten, and if they accept too many foreign ideas, they can easily cause unrest.

In order to maintain harmony and stability, the top leaders can only do this.

It's a pity that this barrier has now been torn apart by the black dragon's fangs and claws, and it is the most important person in the Elven Forest who is affected today: the Divine Favorer, the Elven King, Garcia Yufeng.
