494 Mortal ambition
Kane's nonchalant attitude towards green dreams, and his candid style, further strengthened Itnos' good perception of it.
He felt that Kane gave people an intuitive feeling of fierceness, even brutality. But it's most likely due to the force required for travel on the multiverse.
It's too early to talk about character or something, but at least it's not the feasibility of interaction.
He had intended to start with the history of Green Dreams and spark Kane's interest in it.
But now that Kane has expressed his position so directly, he is no longer good at chattering about Amway's past anecdotes. As he was organizing his words, thinking about how to tell them, so that he could explain things without scaring Kane away, strange energy fluctuations spread from the highest peak of Dragon's Nest Mountain.
This energy fluctuation is a magical phenomenon called the 'Psychic Horn'. As the name suggests, for creatures with strong perception, being affected by this fluctuation will have a feeling similar to the sound of a horn in their ears.
"Another strange intruder has arrived. Itnos said, "It's probably the witches, please rest for a while, I'll take a look." ”
The corners of Kane's mouth curled.
When he arrived, the witch came on the back foot, and if it was still understood that he was being used as a pathfinder by the witch, then the reaction plane was too slow.
"I'm looking for them, and now it's a little easier. Kane said as he leaped into the air, his tone very cold.
So Etnos summoned another dragon spirit and hurried to the Boundary Mountain.
At this time, I changed my perspective and saw the dilemma of these dragons who claimed to be the guardians of the Green Dream.
They are actually very limited in number, and their growth is extremely slow, and they have an important area to guard, so they don't really have much combat power.
If it weren't for the peculiarities of the environment, the witches would only need to go back and forth in and out of the Boundary Mountain to exhaust these dragons and then drag them down.
Etnos was on the road, still chattering, mainly about their holidays with witches.
Kane had heard them call witches before—natural sacrifices.
Obviously, in the perception of these dragons, witches are like druids and shamans, and they are primitive spellcasters close to nature.
This realization once made them happy about the arrival of the witch.
They thought they could join forces with the witches and complete the construction of the green dream.
"However, we have mistaken those people, they are simply the cancer of nature, the condensation and embodiment of filth, they have betrayed our trust, stolen the soul tablet, destroyed the strength of order, and polluted the pool of dreams!"
Itnos said that he wanted to explain the characteristics and origin of these three things.
Kane interrupted directly: "In order, there is contract, law, and energy. Got it. Something went wrong with all three, and it was only a matter of time before it crashed here. ”
Itnorthon's face was gloomy, Kane can be said to be straight to the root of the problem, that's what happened, the green dream is shrinking, and the stability is getting worse and worse, and if it goes on like this, it will be a hundred years at most, and it will completely collapse.
This is also one reason why Itnos is in a hurry to find a noble person to hold his thighs.
In addition, for various reasons, they can't leave the green dream realm, and they used to be able to walk in the Boundary Palace, but now they can only sit and wait for capable people to come to the door, which is undoubtedly extremely passive.
These native dragons earnestly hope that a strong man will come and save their world.
Kane himself had something else in mind. He would not reach out for nothing.
Sages and elders, simple and good people, he also saw a lot. It's very clear that when I don't need you, I'm indifferent and malicious, and when I use you, I'm flattering.
He knew that if it weren't for the great strength he had shown, if it hadn't been for the dire situation that Itnos was facing, and he had rushed into the Green Dream Realm, these natives would probably have a different face. A contempt + vigilance towards foreigners.
So, his attitude towards this kind of thing is that it is not that it cannot be saved.
However, there is a price to pay.
The fact that there is a need to turn the tide shows that the sufferer is also at fault.
The cruelty of reality lies in the fact that doing it right may not be beneficial, and doing it wrong will almost inevitably come at a cost. It's just that some costs are indirect or invisible, or people don't particularly care about them, such as staying up late every day and reducing the cost of life expectancy, which most people know, but may not care.
But if someone around you who has done the same thing dies suddenly, you know that you are afraid, and you become vigilant.
What Kane meant was that the need to turn the tide would in itself mean that there was a big mistake and that there was a high price to pay.
I can save it, but I won't let the tragedy turn into a comedy and send you a happy ending, but let the cost be reduced. For example, it may have lost its life, but now it is ruined. Take your pick.
This leads to the concept that you expect me to be saved, but what price are you willing to pay for it?
Kane hasn't expressed this attitude to Itnos yet, and now he hasn't skimmed the eight characters, and he doesn't know if he can save it, at least he has to see it before he can finalize the project.
Besides, he really doesn't want to get involved now, he just wants to save Amanda.
His main quest is for the Shepherds and their boss behind it, Nidhogg, and if the witches don't do so, he is even willing to make a deal with the witches to lead them down the road against the Shepherds.
Of course, Kane knew that this was difficult, and it was estimated that no one believed in the Shepherd Society as the most powerful transcendent force except him.
Even the Holy Church, which has switched from slow dismissal to knife and piecemeal flesh, still does not pay enough attention to the Shepherds' Society.
The message from the Raven of the Holy Church made it clear that the Council of the Moon Lord said that the Shepherd Society was its mortal enemy.
But the details of the operation of the Holy Sect that he learned gave him the feeling that this rhetoric had a strong element of officialdom. Maybe it's a kind of feedback for his active warning.
Anyway, in his opinion, the Holy Sect needs to have the consciousness of a fish to die and break the net, and at the cost of losing more than eighty percent of the battle in exchange for the loss of the main body of the Shepherds' Council, this can be regarded as a satisfactory result, and it can only be done with his spare help.
In fact, the Holy Religion simply cannot do this. They are also immersed in Lao Tzu's state of being the first in the world, and attach importance to the Shepherds' Society, more because of its strong strength, as well as its gloomy and steady expansion strategy, which threatens the power of the Holy Sect.
The struggle for power and the battle for survival can be separated by more than one 'courage to sacrifice'.
If the Holy Religion is not powerful, then you have to rely on yourself.
Time is limited, there is not so much free time for him to wave, and make enemies everywhere.
Therefore, even if he learned about the situation of Red Maple Fort from Lawrence Gaughn and deduced that the witches had deathly holy weapons, he originally planned to tolerate and not snatch them because the other party had a heavy treasure.
The result was that the other party refused to let him go.
Elsa, who refused to let Kane go, came to the front line this time.
She is indeed a member of the Witches' Society, but her status is somewhat peculiar.
Until now, she was not a witch, but just a mortal.
She is the kind of person who has connections, ability, and ambition to join the witch society and climb to the position of peripheral steward.
The upper echelons of the Witch Society are also well aware that they hate ghosts and ghosts, and have a bad impression in the minds of ordinary people.
But the witch society is rooted in the main body of human civilization.
Not to mention anything else, just the inheritance of the system is inseparable from the awakened person of the witch bloodline.
Witches give birth to their own children, and there is no guarantee of the transcendent attributes of their offspring.
In this regard, they are not as good as the wizards of the HP world.
The combination of pure-blooded wizards and the awakening of magic by descendants is still relatively large. Mixed-race ones can also be opened.
And the witches can't even reach nineteen.
The reason for this is that their magic system is too weird and evil, which damages themselves, and many witches can't even conceive.
So they can't do without the mortal community.
As a force, the core purpose of all their actions is to achieve the goal of dominating mortals through forceful means. Even if it's an independent collar, it's good.
In addition, their demand for artificial creations is also very high. Their own technical system does not have alchemy, if they are separated from human civilization, they can only live a life of wool and blood, not to mention crystal bottles, glass bottles, clay pots can not be used or not, and even can only be skinned sack-like woolen clothes or simply wrapped in animal skins.
This is also an important reason why Kane looks down on these cults and feels that he is lofty. All of them are goods that can't live without the crutch of mortals, but they stand in the position of being enemies of mortals, anti-society, and anti-human.
It's like not being able to kill the other person completely, but then taking on a mortal enmity with the other party, how unwise is it? Kane could hardly imagine what the founder of the organization thought.
If Elsa is asked to answer this question, first of all, life is too short, and you don't have to think too far ahead. Secondly, she has lust and wildness.
What she craves is the witches' high-end reward for their outstanding employees, the witch potion.
Her mother is a witch, her two aunts are witches, and her sister is a witch, but she is not a witch.
In a family where witches are in power, and all of them are witches, she is an outlier.
Outliers who don't fit in will always suffer more from an early age.
Pain can make people decadent, but it can also make people precocious and aggressive.
Elsa, who has seen extraordinary power since she was a child, has a distorted desire to envy for obtaining extraordinary power. With her family background, she is willing to marry Lawrence Gawn, who is 15 years older than her, as a continuation of the strings, which is definitely a resounding marriage. And behind this, there are ambitious big plans.
The incident in Red Maple Fort was planned by her, and the sorority was also organized by her.
Although she is still mortal, she can command witches to do things. Because many sisters, too greedy, twist themselves into eccentric crazy women. ’
This is what the president of the witch society said in public. This is to encourage the mortal congregation who are dedicated to serving the Witch Society, and at the same time acknowledge that there is an important shortcoming of the Witch Society, and there are very few people who are both civil and military.
In this era, it is difficult for an ordinary family to cultivate leaders with broad horizons and hearts, especially women.
This is also the reason why witches have developed with gender-changing technology.
Men from middle-class or aristocratic families who have awakened their supernatural abilities are often the most favored successors of the Witch Society.
But most of these people will choose to accept the solicitation of the Holy Religion.
Although witches have consciously cultivated polymath from an early age over the years, the project has been very difficult.
Elsa's sorority model has made a significant difference to the project.
Excellent agents can recruit transcendent awakened people in time, and they can also take advantage of privileges to cultivate talents.
It's not good when you're old, the three views are established, the temperament is cultivated, and there are often major flaws, and after becoming a witch, the desire is inflated, and you are obsessed with witchcraft.
For an organization, this kind of scholar-type member with a grotesque personality is not a good talent.
It is precisely because of the lack of qualified politicians that Elsa is able to direct the work of witches as mortals after making merits.
Elsa is now not only planning the highest-grade witch potion, but also preparing to build her own mountain, relying on the ruins of Fort Gaun and the relics brought out of the Green Dream.
In addition, there is an ancient and powerful will, which is her backer, and she has tasted a lot of sweetness, which has become her confidence to dare to Gangkane.
Her ideas were bold and a little crazy. She wants to use the power in her hands to bring Kane into submission and make Amanda her subordinate.
That's right, it all started with appreciating Amanda's abilities. The haughty Elsa sees men as stupid thugs who can only be played by really smart women.
Under her compliment, Amanda intentionally or unintentionally showed off the wisdom behind her past of tying up two excellent men successively, as well as the fact that her youth lasts forever.
And this naturally strengthened Elsa's determination to deal with Kane.
She said to herself, "Even if it's a holy realm, as long as it works properly, I have a chance to succeed." There's a god standing behind me!"
But now, when Elsa sees the quiet green dream, she faintly feels bad.
In her mind, Kane should have had a big fight with Itnos at this point.
She thinks that a strong man like Kane will definitely not be able to stand Itnos's attitude of treating people as ants.
Yes, that's the real side of Itnos, the problem is that Kane interacted with Itnos as an ancient dragon.
Despite realizing that reality was likely to deviate greatly from the prediction, Elsa still planned to force the main task, she tightened the metal box containing the soul tablet, and commanded her subordinates: "This time, we must wipe out the mysterious target designated by the Holy Lord, and for this, I will personally take charge of the hatred and take the ......."
