Chapter 401: Whitehall Talks
"Let me start with the conclusion, and I would like to tell you all the results of my joint research with the World Tree Vadwo. I don't think you dare to use it, though. ”
The conference room, which elves call 'Whitehall', is packed with elves of all ages. Luca, Prime Minister of the Kingdom? After a polite repertoire, Titov went straight to the point and asked about the World Tree promotion. And Lin didn't whet people's appetites, and directly expressed his attitude.
However, the elves are rather unimpressed by someone's conclusions, especially the latter sentence. Looking at the expressions, Lin just smiled and explained:
"In the past, there was a saying that the promotion of the World Tree was based on the ashes of other World Trees. That's true, but let me draw an analogy. If the promotion of the World Tree is likened to a trip, everyone wants to know the map of the destination before traveling, and even what dangerous places they may pass through during the journey, as well as safe paths, so as to ensure the smooth progress of their journey. The old way to advance was to capture the maps of other world trees and make up for your unknown parts to ensure your success. ”
Picking up the water cup on the table, Lin took a sip of water while observing by the way. For such a naked statement, some elves are dissatisfied, and some are quite indifferent. However, it is also clear from this performance that they are not completely ignorant of such a situation.
After roughly understanding the attitude of the elves, Lin dared to continue boldly. After all, sometimes telling the 'facts' regardless of the fact may not be acceptable. Therefore, I don't talk about the example of turning my face, but I have encountered it many times. Especially those top bosses who love face and can't get down the stairs, they will vividly teach what it means to have power over the truth.
"And what I just said is the conditions for the World Tree to advance in the past." Lin spoke, and after regaining everyone's attention, he continued: "The research that I have collaborated with Wadwo is just to find a way. The same metaphor allows one to follow the unknown of the journey ahead, carefully groping for it, and then taking every step of the way. You don't have to snatch the map from someone else's hand to move forward. However, it is only to provide a method. ”
The buzz of the elves' private talk never stopped, and the words of someone with reservations, or by Luca? Representative Titov stepped forward and asked: "The method you mentioned does not seem to guarantee success. ”
"Of course. For a journey to be successful, it is not enough to have a map, but also to have sufficient supplies. In the case of the World Tree, there must be enough accumulation in itself. When you have the strength to advance, but you don't have a way forward, the method I provide is useful. But if you don't have that strength, that's bad. As far as I've seen, the World Tree promotion is a very high-risk thing, and it doesn't mean that if you want to interrupt, you can interrupt it. When you can't withstand the storm from a higher dimension, you are lucky, at most the World Tree is destroyed, and you are very lucky, there are still some remnants left, and then everything starts again; However, if you are unlucky, the damage will spread beyond the World Tree. At this time, you can only pray that you are not living under the tree. ”
"So what do you have to do to get ready?" An elder asked.
Lin smiled at this question and said, "That's the most interesting part." I don't know what it means to be ready. With his hands spread, someone put on an under-beaten expression and said, "The direction of my research at the beginning didn't matter whether the World Tree was ready or not. After only staying in the tribe of the wood elves for more than a year, it is impossible to do much research. Waldwo said he wanted to try, so I helped him. Facts have proved that his accumulation is not enough, and there is a considerable crisis in the process of promotion, and it can only be said that he is really lucky to be able to pass the test safely. I don't know if you notice it, but apart from Vadewo, there is only one other World Tree that has recently tried to advance, and it has been a fluke. After that, there was no further news. ”
The World Tree promotion is a big deal for the Lost Lands. As long as the strength reaches a certain level, they will feel the great power change between heaven and earth.
"Maybe it's just because the information is being withheld, isn't it?" Another elder asked. Although his expression is amiable and his voice is calm and powerful, his words are heart-wrenching.
Lin shrugged his shoulders before he wanted to explain, but looking at so many people around him, he wanted to stop talking. After a moment, he said something else to the student sitting on the periphery: "Don't you really want to walk around the courtyard of the palace?" You can take advantage of this opportunity to go out for a walk. ”
The rebellious blonde girl seemed to be deliberately contradictory, saying, "But we also want to hear it." ”
"Go, go, listen. People who start dozing off just three minutes after listening to my lecture don't believe how much you want to hear it. With that, someone turned his head and asked, "Will my students be allowed to enjoy the courtyard of the palace?" It's better if someone can take them with them, and by the way, give a little introduction, and save them from going somewhere they shouldn't go. ”
The abrupt request certainly caused the elves to look sideways. Despite the rather strange request, they straightened their ears and wanted to continue listening. But someone had a very ordinary indifferent expression and didn't intend to speak. Some were puzzled, others were about to get impatient, and Riena said, "Let me take you for a walk, for there are many flowers in the palace, and they are strange varieties that cannot be seen by the outside world. What the old men said must have been very boring, so I didn't have the patience to listen to them. ”
With the first person to respond, the other elves also woke up, which meant to clear the field. The Prime Minister of the Kingdom nodded to everyone, and the rest of the elves, who knew that they were not good enough, left one after another following in the footsteps of the female elf sword dancer and the two magic apprentices.
However, a group of armed elves who were standing on the outskirts retreated to the outside of the conference room, and only after drawing their weapons did they close all the doors and windows of the conference room. Looking at that posture, in addition to guarding against other people's inquiry, there is also a kind of clear warning to someone that 500 swords and axes are behind the door, don't mess around.
When the number of people in the conference room was reduced by half, Lin did not continue to put up a fight, but directly talked about the promotion of the second world tree, Zoriana, a few months ago.
Originally, someone was in cahoots with a certain tree, and after completing the research and getting lucky to make the cut, he planned to sell the research results for a good price. Although the interested customer base is very, very small, it is unimaginable for ordinary people to have a net worth that cannot stand everyone.
On the one hand, this is because Waldwo paid someone a very large amount of money, including a living World Tree seed. In addition to wanting to recover some of the cost he paid from other World Trees, he didn't know what kind of mentality he wanted to see others as miserable as himself.
Don't think that the World Tree promotion is all about benefits. There are many wood elves who are implicated by Wadwo and die so much that they can't die anymore, and they don't even have a chance to be resurrected. Secondly, although Waldwo's rank has improved, his overall strength has not advanced but retreated. This is because he is too reluctant, not only has his sphere of influence narrowed, but his long-term reserves of power have also been almost exhausted.
Maybe his current self is more developing, and he didn't hit a bottleneck as quickly as before, but his miserable situation at the moment made Wadwo want to find a few sympathetic objects.
I thought that when I saw the success of one tree, other trees would rush to the door and let others rip it off. It turns out that someone is underestimating the patience of plants. For a while, no one took Waldwo's success seriously.
Eventually, Waldwo found someone to ask for help. At that time, Lin and the others had already left the Wood Elf tribe for a long time. If it's too troublesome, maybe someone isn't right. But if you want to talk about some business trading skills, as a traveler from the 21st century, some commercial promotion techniques, it is to open your mouth.
After a series of tricks, Waldwo opted for the option of enjoying first and then paying for sales. This is due to the fact that other World Trees may have doubts about how to advance, and the example of Wadwo alone is not enough to make the other trees decide. The best way to do this is to add a few more examples to increase credibility.
The World Tree, which belonged to the same generation as Vadwo, was his chosen target. Of course, it had to go through a period of hard grinding before the other party agreed with difficulty.
The necessary calculations, with the cooperation of the two World Trees, were quickly completed. Because of his experience, Waldwer was unreservedly aware of the dangers he might encounter, and conceived of some means of dealing with them.
The process of World Tree Zoriana's promotion was much smoother than that of Vadwo. Although it is said that there are many more twists and turns than the process of plundering other world trees to complete the promotion. But Zoriana's success still tells all the people or trees who pay attention to the fact that this path is feasible.
But the reason why it really attracted the attention of all the turtledove alliance high-ranking seats, including the one that has survived since ancient times and claims to have witnessed the initial god and demon war in the Lost Land, the ancient one in the World Tree, Fasinas, came forward is not the method of the World Tree's promotion, but the impact after promotion.
Speaking of this, someone seemed to leave a suspense, so he stopped talking and took a glass of water and drank water. The old elves who listened were a little glad that the group of young people left the table first. Because these words are not serious, in fact there is nothing; But to say that it is very serious, after all, it is related to the strategic layout between the world trees, and these things are not suitable for too many people to know.
But the suspense of being hung by someone still has to be asked. Luca? Titov looked helplessly at the eyes handed over by his colleagues, and had to ask, "What is the impact of the World Tree after it is promoted?" How could even that ancient man come forward? ”
The Ancient Farsnas, the last patron of the Elven Empire. It still grows in the territory of the human empire, sheltering a self-governing territory of the wood elves. For this reason, the empire also went to great lengths to knight a World Tree as the legal basis for its independence and self-government. It's just plain to say that they don't have a problem with this place.
And the reason why this ancient person will also pay attention to is: "If the promotion of the World Tree is related to the level improvement of the entire Lost World, what would you think?" ”
