Chapter 1249: Based on Talks
These three days are destined to be like a pot of boiling porridge, and everyone is not at peace, but as long as it is not too much, they don't want to interfere.
This parliamentary system will never be implemented in such a peaceful and stable manner, even if there is no opposition on the surface, the seats have already been decided, but if those guys who are eyeing each other, such as the Holy Spirit Temple and the Longyuan Empire, think that they have done their best to fight for interests, this parliamentary system cannot be implemented.
In three days, the eight immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers, buying, seducing, intimidating, spying, coercing by force, or persuasion, and the competition for seats in the council allowed everyone to engage in a crazy war.
Of course, don't make it difficult for Fire Leaf City, don't make too much of a move, and quietly solve the problem in the dark, which is also a manifestation of strength.
Now the three giants of the human continent have only one seat, which can be said to be an absolute disadvantage among all sixteen seats, but after three days, this situation is likely to change dramatically.
There is a very high chance that the other seats will completely fall into the hands of the other powers.
However, if they are smart enough, they should not do this, and everyone in the mission should stay in Fire Leaf City honestly, as long as people are in Fire Leaf City, then they will be protected by Fire Leaf City, this meaning, presumably smart people can hear it.
Tian Xian instructed Tu Ge to pay attention to the security of the city in the past three days, and the elven sentinels were all dispatched to patrol, and the 20,000 soldiers of the human race fully cooperated with the activities of the lion and elves.
"Anyone who violates the ban of Fire Leaf City, if you can catch it, you will be arrested immediately, and if you can't be caught, you will report it immediately, and I will arrest it myself!"
This is Tian Xian's command to everyone.
So the mixed escort of lions, elves and humans, a total of more than 30,000 people, began to patrol the city aggressively.
In the evening, the prison of Fire Leaf City was half full, and most of them were stunned young people who didn't know what to do, and as soon as the meeting ended, they began to shout for the seats in the council, and they also claimed to have the permission of the Lord of Fire Leaf City.
I don't care, these guys should learn to be obedient when they are released tomorrow, and there shouldn't be so many stupid people coming out to make trouble after dawn.
Prepare some refreshments early, then call everyone and gather in the small garden on the rooftop, chatting and waiting.
The night was getting darker, and a layer of warm lights floated in Fire Leaf City, but today it seemed a little solemn.
Soon, a carriage stopped in front of the town hall.
Tian Xian was a little surprised, I thought that the other party would come directly to the garden, but I didn't expect such a formal visit, and now there are envoys from many other countries outside the town hall.
The appearance of the Great Elder outside the town hall caused a moment of confusion, and the Lion Warrior stopped the agitated crowd in time to prevent further confusion, and the Great Elder was dressed in a gorgeous robe, and his hair was meticulously combed, just like the head of a large family.
Without looking at the crowd around him, the Great Elder strode into the hall and went straight to the top floor.
"Welcome, welcome!"
Tianxian stood up to greet the guests, "I'm really sorry that I can't greet you at the door, there are too many people outside, please take a seat." ”
The Great Elder smiled and sat down calmly, his movements were calm and smooth, without the slightest unnaturalness of just transforming into a human form, if it weren't for the pair of eye-catching dragon horns on his head, no one would doubt his human identity.
"Lord Castle, it seems that I need to apologize, I really didn't expect our arrival to cause such a big reaction. The Great Elder glanced outside, and here he could see the situation in the streets, and even saw that the envoys of some countries were crowded there.
"I expected humans to be surprised by our arrival, but if we were humans, everything would be natural, and I guess I took it for granted. The Great Elder bowed slightly to express his apology.
Tian Xian just smiled, "It's okay, the arrival of the dragon clan did surprise us, but this is not the first time that people on the continent have been very surprised by Fire Leaf City." ”
The Great Elder's gaze couldn't help but fall on Luna, obviously when the lion and elf appeared in Fire Leaf City, the people of the continent were fiercely surprised.
The Grand Elder kept smiling, "If our arrival causes any unnecessary trouble, I hope that the City Lord can give us a chance to make amends, and we hope to be friendly for a long time." ”
"No, there is no trouble!" Tian Xian said with great certainty, "even if there is, it is just some painless little trouble, which has been solved, come on! Try human snacks and herbal tea, there are absolutely no such things on Moyun Mountain." ”
The Great Elder happily picked up the snacks......
Although the Great Elder came alone, he did not lose his momentum in the face of the managers of Fire Leaf City, and it seemed that he also had a deep understanding of the human world, and everyone would not be cold at all when they talked about anything, and he also had his own unique opinions on many things, especially in terms of history and religion, which made Tian Xian and the others very surprised.
After a short conversation, Tian Xian led the topic to today's topic, "There is one thing that I still haven't figured out. ”
"If the lord of the city asks questions, I will definitely know everything. ”
Tian Xian smiled and shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, this is just an idea of mine, if it is inconvenient for you to answer, please don't force it." ”
The faint brilliance in the Great Elder's eyes spun twice, "Okay." ”
"I don't know if you can tell us completely, why did the dragons come to the human world?" Tian Xian showed a puzzled look, "I was born in the Moyun Mountain Range, my ancestors lived there, and I have been listening to the legends about the Cloud Swallowing Beast since I was sensible, and it seems that since there was the Moyun Mountain Range, the Cloud Swallowing Beast has been living there, and there has been no change for two thousand years." ”
"Hmm......" the Great Elder fell silent, and for the first time, the atmosphere that had been pleasant and relaxed became dull.
"Sure enough, it's a problem, and I think it's time for the lord to officially raise this issue. The Great Elder picked up a small piece of snack and sighed softly, "Although a single human being does not have any great strength, a naturally weak body, and a greedy and warlike character, human beings have really created miracles and dominated this vast land, whether it is desire or wisdom, this is all a fact, and our Swallowing Cloud Clan has been guarding Moyun Mountain for generations, not to mention such dim sum, even decent food is difficult to find." ”
Tian Xian frowned slightly, seeing that the Great Elder looked at the dim sum in his hand with emotion, his eyes quickly looked at Long Si and the four girls beside him.
The two of them were also puzzled, and they didn't seem to understand what the Great Elder meant.
Only then did Tian Xian determine that it was not that he was too stupid, but that the Great Elder was vague......
"Guarding Moyun Mountain for generations?"
Xiang, who had never spoken on such occasions, suddenly said today, "Your Excellency the Great Elder, could it be that the Swallowing Cloud Clan, like our Highland Clan, is there something guarding it?"
Everyone on Tianxian's side was stunned for a moment, this statement ......
Faith turned, and suddenly everyone's eyes fell on the Great Elder.
Xiang's clan guards that special mountain peak, and what has been worshiped and guarded for generations is the totem of the clan, the silver crystal spirit.
The Cloud Eaters seem to be guarding something, but they seem to be migrating back and forth in different seasons......
The Great Elder looked at the incense, a soft light flashing in his eyes, "The girl of the Highland Clan, she is indeed very similar to your ancestors. ”
Xiang was stunned for a moment, "Xiaosheng...... Xiaosheng's ancestors?"
"Well, the Highlanders have always been so forthright and enthusiastic, and have been a respected and admired group since a long time ago. ”
Xiang suddenly blushed.
Tianxian's face was a little strange: "Great Elder, is what Xiang said right, are you guarding something on Moyun Mountain?"
When these words came out, Tianxian felt a little incredible, he had stayed on Moyun Mountain for ten years, and he would see the Cloud Swallowing Beast every year, and his ancestors had arrived at Moyun Mountain hundreds of years earlier, and he didn't know how many times he had witnessed the figure of the Cloud Swallowing Beast, but he never knew what these big guys were guarding.
"Hmm...... So to speak. The Great Elder replied in a deep voice.
Everyone was surprised, but Tianxian was particularly surprised.
Tian Xian couldn't help but shout in his heart, the Fire Mist Clan had lived in seclusion in Moyun Mountain for hundreds of years, but in the end, they didn't know why these big guys were there!
The Great Elder slowly explained in a deep voice: "The reason why the Swallowing Cloud Clan has been living on Moyun Mountain is indeed a last resort, we thought about finding a new home, but in the end we all gave up, because after our exploration, the human world is not suitable for us to live, and we cannot afford the endless war of human beings. ”
Tian Xian's eyebrows raised slightly, and he suddenly understood, "So, Great Elder, you have conducted an expedition on the human continent, so you can speak such a standard human language?"
"Yes, Lord Castle guessed right, it was I who came to the human world to collect information in the first place, and in the end, it was also the result that I came to be uninhabitable, I have been here a few times, and I will come every five hundred years. ”
Every 500 years...... Everyone on Tianxian suddenly had a feeling that they were being pressed by the years, even Luna couldn't help but blink her eyes, Luna was far from being five hundred years old.
How old is this Great Elder!
Long Si suddenly asked, "Then I don't know when you last came to the Human Continent. ”
The Great Elder pondered for a while and replied, "Two hundred and forty years ago, two hundred and forty years ago, I once came to the Human Continent for about a year, traveled around, collected a lot of information, and even served as a small priest in the Holy Spirit Temple. ”
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
Facing such an old man who was old and had a lot of "experience", Long Si spoke unconsciously and respectfully, "At that time, it should have been the period of crazy expansion of the Longyuan Empire, and there were constant wars on the mainland. ”
The Great Elder smiled faintly, "The last time I came here was nothing special, and the Human Continent has always been like this. ”
This sentence made Tianxian and the others slightly embarrassed, indeed...... It seems that the human continent has always been at war, and saying this from the mouth of a dragon clan makes Tianxian feel a little helpless as a human being.
Coughing twice, Tian Xian asked, "So, this time you feel that the conditions have become suitable, so you came here." ”
"Yes!"
"Hmm...... So back to the question just now, since the Cloud Swallowing Clan needs to guard something on Moyun Mountain, then why do they need to ......?"
The Great Elder smiled mysteriously, this smile was incomparably humane, "City Lord, please forgive me for not telling you this, this is a secret that has been passed down from generation to generation of our Cloud Swallowing Clan, I can only tell you that we have actually been looking for a new suitable home, but we have never found it. ”
Tian Xian didn't hide the disappointment on his face at all, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then can you say something else? If the dragon clan wants to gain a foothold in the human world, it must gain the trust of more people, just having a small nest here in Fire Leaf City can't solve the actual problem." ”
Luna raised her eyebrows, and said affirmatively: "That's right, when the elves came to the human world, they also made an oath not to take the initiative to harm humans, and the price of sacrificing the elf fruit, the Cloud Swallowing clan is even more special than the elves, if you want your people to really be recognized by humans, maybe you should be more honest." ”
The Grand Elder looked at Luna, who looked back without fear, and at this point, Luna was not false.
After pondering for a while, the Great Elder slowly spoke: "I can't open my mouth about the secrets of the Cloud Swallowing Clan, but if we say that in order to win the trust of the human race, we are willing to pay the corresponding price. ”
Tianxian hurriedly shook his head, "Don't get me wrong, this is not blackmail and coercion, but a necessary step, you also saw our meeting, at this special time, everyone is very sensitive, I have to say that the dragon clan came at the wrong time, if it was in the past, maybe it would not have received so much attention, but now that all the countries have seen with their own eyes that the dragon clan and Fire Leaf City have become allies, and will participate in the Eastern Crusade, then many things must be explained more clearly." ”
Tian Xian waited for a while, and then said bluntly: "In short, what specific things do you want from the human world? Is it just food and shelter?"
Looking directly at the Great Elder, Tian Xian shook his head, "It's just these, there are all on Moyun Mountain, although they are not so rich, but they are not such a large-scale migration, am I right?"
The Great Elder hesitated.
Tian Xian was not persecuted, and said calmly: "Humans are suspicious, especially for foreign races, I can use the identity of the city lord to ensure the status and interests of the dragon clan in Fire Leaf City, but the rest of the place, I really have no way." ”
The Great Elder suddenly looked at Tian Xian, his eyes looked slightly strange, and then asked Tian Xian an inexplicable question.
Ash said...... The Lord of the City can build a divine domain?"
