Chapter 236: Conspiracy
"......Poof" Hearing this, Marceau, who had been drinking juice quietly, directly squirted out the juice in her mouth, but she didn't care about tidying up her demeanor at all, but stared at Roger with a calm face.
Although the Great Elder did not have the same gaffe as Marceau, judging from the cup that slipped directly from his hand, the Great Elder was not as calm as he seemed.
After calming down the messy mood, the Grand Elder and Marceau looked at Roger with strange expressions, ready to listen to his explanation.
"Don't look at me like that, as you all know, I'm not a careerist, and I've never had much interest in power." Roger shrugged his shoulders very naturally: "I'm just proposing the most suitable plan at the moment." ”
The Great Elder and Marceau glanced at each other, and they both saw the speechless look in each other's eyes: Roger really has no interest in holding power, and this, just look at the current situation in Emerald City, you can understand that there is no more delegated city lord than Roger. If it weren't for Luna's provocation of government affairs, Emerald City would have been in chaos long ago. But even so, Roger's sudden proposal still startled the Grand Elder and Marceau.
Jianguo, can such a thing be said so casually?
Marceau quickly cleaned up the table, then poured two glasses of juice for himself and the Great Elder, and after pouring a glass for Roger by the way, the two of them took a sip of juice to suppress the shock, which completely suppressed the chaotic thoughts in their hearts.
"Knock!"
Putting down the empty wooden cup heavily, the Great Elder asked with a serious face, "Why do you have such an idea?" ”
"Now, Great Elder, you actually know that too." Pointing to the map on the table very casually, Roger said very calmly: "It is simply impossible to unify the entire Druid Sect in terms of faith. As long as the neutral environmentalists do not interfere, the reformers of the Great Elder and the traditionalism of the Four Elders will not win! Even if the Druidic Religion was forcibly unified by co-opting neutrals and other means. The best result is also a direct split of the Druid faction into two factions! And these two factions will become mortal enemies! ”
Looking at the Great Elder with a serious face, Roger also made a straight face: "The religious wars are one of the most brutal wars!" As long as there is a bloody conflict, the two divided factions will quickly evolve into undying enemies! The druids will shed their blood in the civil war! Therefore, the unification of Druidism in terms of faith is simply impossible to achieve in a short period of time! ”
"We are aware of this, so we have always been very restrained on both sides. After all, although there are differences in beliefs. But at the end of the day, we're all druids! Glancing at Roger very sharply, the Great Elder said slowly, "But is this necessarily related to what you want to do?" ”
"Absolutely!" Roger nodded confidently: "Because, what I want to establish is not a centralized kingdom, but a democratic republican republic." ”
"Centralization? Democratic republic? The Grand Elder and Marceau looked at each other.
Roger, who was about to continue, couldn't help but pat his head, and helplessly explained the difference between their respective political systems with the two.
After spending a lot of effort and briefly explaining the so-called "centralization" and "democratic republic", Roger drank all the juice and moistened his somewhat dry throat. Then he continued: "My idea is to elect a representative from each denomination, as is the case with the forty druid elders now, and then the delegates will vote for a president, who will lead the nascent druid nation. This is a bit like the current orc kingdom, where each orc clan does its own thing on weekdays, and sometimes it fights each other. Only after the election of the Orc King will all the Orc clans unite. Working together for a goal. ”
"Is there any special point in that?" The Great Elder couldn't help frowning: "If you can get a majority of votes, then you can directly establish a unified Druid Sect." Why do you want to do this? ”
"Didn't I tell you why? Directly establish a unified Druidism, and there will be bloodshed! This would damage the overall strength of the entire Druid lineage. Roger shook his head: "And in the name of the country is different, we can completely separate the government and the state!" We respect the beliefs of all denominations, put aside disputes, and seek common ground while reserving differences! Speak only with one voice when you are outside, and anything big on weekdays. Let's discuss it. ”
"I see what you mean, it's just about nominally uniting all the druids, leaving aside the differences of faith. The advantage of this is that in the midst of the demonic calamity, the druids can be twisted into a rope and truly advance and retreat together. After all, we are all from the same country. In the face of foreign enemies, of course, we must first unite with the outside world. The Great Elder nodded, looking up and down at Roger with a strange look in his eyes: "How did you come up with this method?" ”
"It doesn't matter." Roger pouted: "As long as the country can be successfully established, we will be able to arrest those who have contact with the demons in the name of the law, so as to prevent those devils from making a fuss under the pretext of faith to the greatest extent, and fundamentally eliminate the existence of all evil sects." ”
"In order to eliminate an evil sect like the Sheep Ming Sect, you plan to directly unify the entire Druid lineage......" Marceau shook his head helplessly: "If the rulers of other kingdoms learn that this new kingdom was established because of this kind of thing, I don't know how their expressions will be." ”
"That kind of thing, it doesn't matter." The Great Elder said with a smile, "Whether it is the Druid clan or the elven clan, they are actually a bit xenophobic and don't care much about what other realms think. ”
Everyone laughed a little and eased their mood before continuing the discussion.
"The key to this is still the original question, how do you get the consent of more than half of the druid elders?" The Great Elder asked very seriously.
After this conversation, the Great Elder no longer dared to underestimate Roger's political insights, at least the explanation of various political systems just now, if he didn't have enough understanding of politics, he couldn't do it.
Although there is no question of faith, it is still unlikely that the elders of the traditionalist will agree to this plan. After all, this is what we proposed. Roger smiled wryly, "But there's a good chance that the neutral Druid elders will agree to this plan." After all, the creation of a druid kingdom is of considerable benefit to all druids. ”
"That being said, are you really sure you're going to convince the neutral elders?" The Great Elder frowned and said, "Over the years, the fourth and fifth elders and I have spent a lot of effort trying to win them over. But the elders of these nine sects have never been inclined to move closer to the two of us. Over time, both of us have given up on them and started to woo each other's members with all our might. ”
"There is no one in this world who is truly desireless." Roger's eyes were full of confidence: "The elders of the neutral sect are like the ascetics of the Church of Dawn, who have been working hard to carry out the teachings of the druids, to heal the wounds of the earth, and to turn the desert into fertile soil. For them, the quarrel between your two factions is meaningless. The establishment of the Druid Realm was not of great significance to them, who had been wandering around. But something. But it's a temptation they can't refuse! If the establishment of the Druid Kingdom would make it easy for them to obtain those things, I am sure they would agree to the establishment of the Druid Kingdom! ”
"What is so important to them?" The Great Elder's face was a little suspicious, he had never seen the Neutral Elders have ever been interested in anything.
"This thing is ......" Roger smiled and spread his hand, "I'm sorry old man, I don't have these things on hand right now, I need to take some time to collect them." ”
The Grand Elder and Marceau rolled their eyes in unison.
Hanging people's appetite or something, the most annoying!
"Okay, okay, you'll know in a while." Roger smiled and patted the Great Elder's shoulder: "Now." Great Elder, you should first gather all the Druid Elders in the name of the Great Druid, and the location will be in my Emerald City. ”
"If I'm not mistaken. The capital of the Druid Kingdom that is about to be established is probably this Emerald City. The Grand Elder looked at Roger and stroked his beard a little teasingly.
If this can be done, there is no doubt that Roger's Emerald City will definitely be able to reap considerable benefits. With the support of all the druids, the Emerald City and the Night Elves will go from being a small force to one of the most powerful forces on the entire continent.
"Traditionalist Druid elders have always hated big cities. Even the elven city is a bit unsightly. But without the protection of the city walls, their village suffered heavy losses in every demonic plague, so the reformers led by you, the Great Elder, were able to continue to grow and develop. Until now, you have even had the upper hand completely. Roger put away the smile on his face and said very solemnly: "Continue to develop like this." The power of the traditionalists will continue to shrink until they are completely swallowed up by your reformers. ”
Looking directly into the eyes of the Great Elder, Roger said in a deep voice: "For the reformers, this is a well-deserved victory, but I am very sad to see it. Compared with the reformers, the individual strength of the traditionalists is actually much stronger, and they also have a deeper grasp of the power of their respective druidic systems. After all, they were able to block the attacks of the demons again and again just by relying on the rudimentary defense line in the midst of the demon disaster, thus continuing the druid's legacy to the present. The traditional Paidruid villages that still exist today have their own unique heritage! ”
"But due to all kinds of bad customs and unnecessary persistence, they have been unwilling to open their eyes to the world, and stubbornly abide by various traditions until they are destroyed in the demon disaster." Roger sighed: "Even if the Druid Realm is successfully established, there will definitely be a considerable number of Traditional Elders who are unwilling to join this big family. I only hope that after seeing this wonderful city where many races live in harmony, they will agree to send those old and weak women and children here to save a little spark for their faction. ”
"It's hard, those old guys aren't that easy to communicate with, and I'm afraid few old guys will accept your kindness. I'll do my best to convince you, though. The Grand Elder patted Roger on the shoulder, his eyes full of appreciation. He could see that Roger's words just now were not selfish.
It is true that each Druid village has its own unique heritage, but these traditions are not very useful to Roger today. The powerful Elemental Legion and the thriving Night Elves have made Roger quite powerful in his hands, and there is no shortage of traditional druids at all.
No matter how strong the druids are, they can't compare to the mysterious "Divine Bird Project" in Elemental City, or Roger's own legendary dragon Kisara and the transformation of the holy beast.
"Since you are going to gather all the Druid Elders, you should give notice as soon as possible, most of the neutral Druid Elders are wandering in other realms." Marceau interjected directly, breaking the slightly heavy atmosphere.
"That's just as well." The Great Elder nodded and waved his hand at Roger randomly: "Wait a minute, I will send someone to inform all the Druid Elders to gather in the Emerald City, and after dealing with the situation here, I will also go to the Emerald City." You should go back immediately, I don't know what you want to use to impress the Neutral Elders, but you better prepare as soon as possible. ”
Speaking of this, the Great Elder raised his eyebrows at Roger: "The fourth is a dragon druid who can transform into a dragon, although the dragon he transforms into cannot use dragon magic, and is slightly inferior to the dragon knight's dragon transformation, but it is definitely not an easy character to deal with." ”
Roger's face suddenly tightened.
The ranking of the druid elders is not based on strength, but according to the population of the druid villages under their command and the merits of recovering the wounds of the earth, etc., and the strength of the great elder is not as good as the second elder who has died in Shenmu City. The Third Elder, who had been immersed in the study of various potions, did not have much combat ability at all, but the druid village under his name was the most populous of all the druid villages, so he could rank third.
To make the Great Elder introduce him so solemnly, the leader of the traditional sect druids must be quite powerful! And the speed of the dragon is not slow at all, if such a strong person arrived in the Emerald City before Roger, once there is any conflict, I am afraid that only Kisara can compete with the other party.
If there are a few more strong people, the Emerald City will not be messed up?
"I know, I'll be back to the Emerald City right away." Roger nodded, and then turned into a golden-winged roc and quickly flew into the sky.
Looking at the golden-winged Dapeng who turned into a golden light and left in a hurry, Marceau couldn't help but roll his eyes at the Great Elder: "Carl, although Bian is a little impulsive, he won't mess around." ”
"Seeing that kid looks like he has everything under control, I just want to scare him, who told him to sell me a guanzi!" The Great Elder stroked his white beard happily. (To be continued.) )
