Chapter 80: Elven Choice
Half an hour later, Xiao Chen met Wang Jiyuan and many other old acquaintances outside the combat conference room. This time, the strong men were mobilized to recapture Heimu Pass, and with Xiao Chen's support, the Tower of China could be said to be pouring out, almost all the available high-end forces were mobilized.
Xiao Chen unexpectedly discovered that the two friends he had made in the Elven Kingdom, Dinein and Maya, were also here, and with them were a group of mages and warriors from the Elven Kingdom.
Before the meeting began, Xiao Chen stepped forward to shake hands with Di Ning and Maya, and then saluted those elves: "I'm really sorry to finally see you, I invited you to visit us, but I myself haven't met you until now." ”
Maya smiled: "It's okay, Luo Ling and Mao Kai have entertained us very well, I have already exchanged a lot of various magic techniques with the mages of your China Tower, and even Dinin has dated several girls from Green Forest City." ”
"Yes, humans are very different from elves. There's nothing better than two races getting along and finally becoming one. At this point, I also want to stay in the Tower of China. Dineen laughed.
Maya said: "We heard that you were unlucky, you were actually locked up in prison by your own people, and you were almost killed. However, after seeing those things in the elven kingdom, I think it is not unusual for those high-ranking people to do anything terrible. ”
Dinen reminded on the side: "Don't forget, he is now a big man himself. ”
Maya covered her mouth for a moment, but then she giggled, "I think he's different." That's why we're here now, isn't it?"
"Don't laugh at me. By the way, why are you here?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Isn't it obvious that you will participate in the war against the Imperials and help you conquer the Black Wood Pass. Maybe I'll take part in other actions later. Dinen said.
Xiao Chen was very surprised by what the elves said, and he asked, "As far as I know, you elves are simply a model of isolationism, in most continental wars, you are neutral, unless humans provoke you, or for the purpose of revenge, you generally do not take the initiative to fight against humans." It won't help one group of humans fight another. ”
Dining's expression lost the smile he had just had: "So that's true." Most of the High Elves have a disdain for wars between human kingdoms. In the eyes of our High Elves, the lifespan of humans limits their horizons, and they always risk their lives for the sake of something short-lived. Whether it is the wealth of the mortal world or the territory of the kingdom, in fact, it cannot escape the erosion of time, and from the perspective of the elves, the pursuit is short-sighted. ”
Xiao Chen said: "Although our lifespan is not long enough, the different scale of life from yours gives us another meaning when we look at the problem. Take war, for example, there may be people who want power, but there are also people who want to get things done. It's like when you're looking at the birds in the sky, it seems that every bird is just flying across the sky, some of them are looking for food, some are migrating to distant places, some are looking for directions, but they can't tell the difference in your eyes.
The difference between us and you is not necessarily a difference between superior and inferior, but a difference in perspective. ”
Di Ning said: "You said it well, when Luo Ling heard this, she only said one sentence." ”
"What?"
"Zi is not a fish, the joy of knowing fish. Dineen uttered the old phrase word for word, "I think it's much more elegant than your lengthy words." ”
Xiao Chen touched his nose and said, "Okay." ”
"I'm just telling you what the elves used to think. Dineen smiled and patted Xiao Chen's shoulder, "But this time the situation is too different, the nature god has been asleep for too long, and the high elves' minds have also changed. Although what the Sage of Dahni did was excessive, her worries about the awakening of the god of nature were not unreasonable. Among the upper echelons of the Elven Kingdom, she wasn't the only one with such concerns.
Before, you, me, Maya and Evelyn, when they fought against the God of Nature, they all felt what kind of 'thing' the God of Nature really was.
I still remember the hand of God pressed against the root of the World Tree. The World Tree is our mother, how do you feel when your mother is choked by a person, or even stripped of her skin and cramped?
Doesn't he know that the entire kingdom of the High Elves and Dark Elves is built on the foundation of the World Tree, and if one day the World Tree dies, our kingdom will collapse, and even the entire race will be extinct. And none of these things mattered in the face of his awakening. Are we treated like this a family member, or are we garbage that can be discarded after use?
After you left, we had an in-depth conversation with the Sage of Crest, and while the Sage was a little more conservative and didn't think exactly the same as mine, we spoke openly and honestly about one thing, and that was that it would be better for such a god of nature not to wake up.
With his permission, we then released the details of the battle to a select group of elven powerhouses on the Tree Heart Web. I felt the feedback from the Tree Heart Web, it was the feeling of the viewers, the shock, the sadness, the despair, I had never felt such a strong emotion in so many elves at the same time. ”
"It's like a child who has been beaten and abandoned. Maya said.
"So this made a group of elves make up their minds?" Xiao Chen asked.
Dine Ning said: "No, it's not that fast, just do it, it's not the way the elves do things." We're slowly expanding the scope to make this information known to more elves. Pick out the spirits with the strongest emotions and the most resentment from their feedback.
Then we asked them to talk to each of them, and slowly enlightened them to have a new perspective on the gods of nature. In this way, it took us a long time to raise the first spirits who were truly opposed to the awakening of the gods of nature. ”
"Yes, but there are still many elves who disagree with us and have illusions about the gods of nature. Maya interjected, "I'm worried that at some point, the elven kingdom will split into two parts and fight each other. ”
"If that happens, I can't do it, at least my point of view is firm. "Then with the acquiescence of the Sage of Crest, I brought them out. Because we all know that if we want to fight against the gods of nature, there is only one reliable ally: the Tower of China!
Since we want to be allies, we naturally have to face all kinds of enemies together, so we came here like this, and we want to fight together with you!"
