Chapter 496: Foresight (Part 2)
Late at night, in the castle, the faint moonlight passed through the window, shining right on Sun Ran's bed, sprinkling a frost-like silver glow on the linen quilt.
Sivana 'walked out' of the wall, it seemed that only a tulle dress was draped on her body, and walked slowly towards Sun Ran, when her body passed through the moonlight, the tulle dress was reflected like smoke and mist, dimly revealing the graceful body in it, as she approached, a fragrance quietly passed into Sun Ran's nose, it smelled very good.
Sun Ran didn't pretend to be asleep, opened his eyes directly, and looked at her suspiciously.
Sivana was not surprised, she sat down on the edge of the bed and smiled softly, "I have always heard that powerful warriors have very keen perceptions and will remain vigilant in any situation. It turns out that this is true. ”
"What are you?" Sun Ran sat up and asked suspiciously.
"A gift to the hero of my heart." Sivana sat on the bed, leaned on Sun Ran's shoulder, and said softly, "Tonight, I belong to you." ”
"It's abrupt." Sun Ran smiled lightly: "You know, I have a wife, and I don't want to betray her." ”
"I know. That's why I came quietly, and no third person would know about it. Sivana smiled nonchalantly.
Sun Ran was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Are you coming here, are you going to kill me directly?" Or do you want to find a way to control me? ”
Sivana's body was shocked, and she forced a smile and asked, "Why do you ask that?" ”
"In Fortress of Dawn, I saw the weakness of the elves, and this weakness is not just a matter of the number of warriors, but the inherent weakness of your race."
"We are demigods, we are strong, and the current weakness is just a sequelae of the war in the gray pine forest!" Sivana disagreed.
"No, the individual elves are strong, but the whole race lacks vitality. How long do you raise a generation? Thirty years? Forty years? Or fifty years? ”
"....... about thirty-five years." Sivana somewhat understood what Sun Ran meant, the recovery speed of the elven clan's strength was too slow. The loss of ash pine forests will not begin to recover until at least thirty-five years later.
"We Terrans, it only takes fifteen years." Sun Ran said with a smile.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Sivana's brows furrowed: "Since you don't want to, then I won't bother." ”
Sun Ran smiled: "Wait a minute, please listen to me patiently." ”
Sivana was silent, she looked at Sun Ran quietly. Show that she's listening.
Sun Ran continued: "We don't have a history of 10,000 years, and we don't have ancient and noble traditions. We are lowly in the human race, so we are industrious and dare to do anything 'lowly'. Cultivating farmland and dealing with 'dirty' dirt and manure all day long. Digging for minerals in the dark underground, your hands are full of calluses. Striking iron all day long in the blacksmith's shop, and the skin on his hands was scorched by charcoal, these menial things that the elves did not bother to do. But this is precisely the foundation of a race. ”
"What the hell do you want?" Sivana forgot her original intention, she listened to Sun Ran's words, and her heart became afraid.
Over the years, with the rise of the Highland Kingdom, many people of insight among the elves have realized this problem and want to change, but the bad thing is in the noble tradition that Sun Ran said.
The elves thought they were noble, so the elves had no real farmers. There are no real craftsmen, no people at the bottom. They have a splendid culture. But this culture is a castle in the air, with no foundation.
The power of tradition is too strong, and it will take at least three generations to change it, three generations, that is, nearly a hundred years. It's too late for anything.
Sun Ran continued to expose the truth about the elves: "The current situation is that the glory of the entire elven race is built on the unpaid labor of the human slaves. If I issued an order to recall the slaves and cut off the grain trade with the elves, the glorious elven empire would collapse in ten years. The reason is simple, because you will starve to death! ”
A large number of blades of light suddenly appeared in the air. Pointing to Sun Ran's vital point, Sivana's pretty face was frosty: "Don't say it!" Don't say it! You're killing yourself. Labcillin will not let the Terrans have wise kings, because you are terrible, you Terrans are terrible! ”
The battle at Fortress of Dawn forged a friendship between the two races, but it also shocked the elven hierarchy with the power of the Terrans. The upper echelons of the elves realized that once the Terrans truly rose, the elves would have no place to stand.
"So, tonight, your gift to me is not your body, but death, or slavery, right?" Sun Ran smiled faintly, without any anger on his face, and continued: "You sacrificed your chastity and used magic to make my life disappear while we were turning the clouds and rain, right?" ”
Sivana was stunned, the light blade in the air lasted for a while, and then turned into a point of light and disappeared again, she knew that this light blade could not help this human race king, she said weakly: "Why? Why are you so smart? Can't you just be stupid and pretend you don't know? Let me leave quietly? ”
"There are things that have to be faced. The dark legions were repulsed, the pressure of the foreign enemy disappeared, and the contradiction between the human race and the elves was highlighted. You are gone, just running away, and this contradiction will not disappear, it will only become more and more acute. I am afraid that in less than ten years, war will break out between our two peoples. ”
Sivana leaned back on the bed and said bitterly, "If I hadn't been an arena warrior and killed you, I would have been killed by the werewolves." How good would it be that we were all dead and wouldn't face the difficult choices we have today? ”
"Killing me still won't stop the rise of the Terrans."
"No, without you as a leader, the Terrans will decline rapidly until they collapse!" Sivana retorted.
Sun Ran laughed: "Sivana, you only saw the surface, but you didn't see the essence of the matter. Let me tell you, there is a truth in this world: hard work can make the lowliest race stand up, and greed and laziness can bring down the noblest race. Even without me, another Thar would come forward, and it was only a matter of time. ”
This is true in any world, from a small person to a family, to a nation and race. If you indulge in indulgence and indulge in enjoyment, any prosperity is a firework.
Sun Ran looked at Sivana and cruelly revealed the truth: "The Elven Empire has long been decayed. The battle of the Grey Pine Forest was just a fuse. In fact, in a world full of races, any major blow can bring an elf to its knees. Even if the Terrans do not rise, if the Elven Empire declines, the dwarves in the south and the centaurs in the west will take advantage of the situation to invade. The world is so cruel! ”
Sivana didn't think so deeply about Sun Ran, she just sensed the crisis and wanted to resolve it, and when she heard Sun Ran's words, she really understood the current situation, which also made her even more desperate.
"Could it be that our elven clan is not saved?" She asked Sun Ran.
By now, she had fully acknowledged the foresight of the Terran king. As long as he is still the king of the Highland Kingdom, the elves have no chance of defeating the Highland Kingdom.
Sun Ran laughed, looked at the bright moon outside the window, and asked rhetorically: "Even if there is salvation." Will this Terran king tell you the way? ”
"The friendship between our two races?"
"Friendship between races is a hoax, you and I know that."
"Ten years from now, what are you going to do?" Sivana asked.
She suddenly remembered a elf, and his name was Eliza. Many years ago, he insisted on killing Thor at all costs, but she didn't. She didn't regret it, because without Thal, Fortress of the Dawn would not have been able to win.
But she also admits that Eliza has a similar vision as this Saar, but it was too late, and Eliza had already died in the gray pine forest.
"Ten years from now?" Sun Ran smiled: "Ten years from now, the Highland Kingdom may become the Highland Empire, an expanding empire is like a fierce lion, if there is another weak male lion lying next to him, what do you think will happen?" ”
Sivana's face turned pale, and she couldn't imagine what would happen.
"If you tell me all this, aren't you afraid that we will be on guard?"
"An old man who is about to die, no matter how much he guards, it is in vain." Sun Ran smiled and raised his hand to send off the guests: "Sivana, it's late at night, you can go back." What happened tonight will not happen to me, and it will not affect the friendship between our two races. ”
"No, I'm not going back. Thor, as long as you can keep my people alive, let me do anything! Sivana pleaded, her eyes were full of tears, her beautiful face was full of sorrow, and her hands were tightly grasping Sun Ran's arm, looking extremely pitiful.
Sun Ran was indifferent, and was about to refuse, but he suddenly felt that the suggestion technique of the game company fell on him, and the content of the hint was to help and give the elves a way to live.
Why help? Sun Ran thought about it and understood, the game company didn't want the elves to be extinct, and the beautiful elves were a big selling point of the game World of the Gods.
Since it means 'Creator', Sun Ran naturally has no problem playing the game.
His attitude immediately softened, as if he was moved by Sivana, patted her hand lightly, and let out a long sigh: "Sivana...... Alas...... You are a noble elven lord, an astromagician, don't cry, you will be laughed at when you are seen by others. ”
"And you promised me?" Sivana choked up, she noticed the change in Sun Ran's attitude, and her heart was overjoyed.
"There is no room for an old man who is dying. There is no rebirth without suffering. The Elven Empire is decaying and collapsing like this, so you just let it go. Go and gather those wise elves, break away from the elven empire, and start over like the gnomes in the Highlands. Sun Ran said.
Seeing that Sivana hesitated, Sun Ran said: "While there is still some false friendship between our two clans, while I am still alive, I can still shelter you, hurry up and do it, and lay some foundations, otherwise it will be too late." ”
Sivana's face became firm, and she nodded heavily: "Okay, Thal, I listen to you." ”
Game Management Department.
The administrator looked at this scene and sighed: "This Saar, the method of fooling people is amazing, this elf was sold by him, and she is grateful to help him count the money." ”
Another administrator sighed, "Alas, the Terrans must be very prosperous when they have such a leader." If it weren't for the fact that we still had control over the details, if it weren't for the fact that this Thar would only have lived for a hundred years, I would have to start worrying about the safety of the other races.
