Chapter 437: The Future of the Kingdom I

It's not that there are no elves who come up with some thoughts that they shouldn't have. But remembering that the elven assassin who was a transcendent not only failed to succeed, but also lost his own life, all unnecessary thoughts immediately vanished.

Whether it was the Elven Guards who had complained before, believing that someone was the source of all mistakes, or the elders and strong people they admired, who were indignant that they had all died at the hands of a certain magician, all the elves now seemed to have collectively lost their memory, pretending to have forgotten what had happened before.

In the following days, whenever they saw the human passing by, the elves would stand on the side of the road in fear and bow their heads and say, "Lord Tripwood." "Except that they didn't bow down on their knees, the elves saw this more respectful than they saw their king.

can also maintain the original attitude of neither big nor small, except for the lich and the two apprentices, it is the silverbearded dwarf Jermaine who has no heart and lungs, and has the trend of evolving towards a tech nerd. He sneaked into the tent and shook someone who was hiding in bed and sucking, saying, "Hey, big brother, I have an idea." What do you think about getting the Armed Forces of Peace to use your new weapon? ”

This stupid idea couldn't be more stupid, leaving someone's mood unsure of whether to get better or worse. At this moment of trance, my hand was loosened. If the three-flower kitten was forgiven, it broke free and jumped down, and as soon as it slipped out of the camp, it ran away without looking back.

Grabbing his already free hands, someone felt a little pity in his heart. However, looking at the dwarf with the thief's eyes and bones, Lin smiled angrily: "I want to put everything on the peace army, can that little thing be eaten?" The energy consumption of the M134 machine gun is not something that anyone can afford. ”

"No problem! Don't you think that the picture of the peace armed forces carrying the machine gun you mentioned is particularly majestic? Absolutely! The most valuable thing about the peace armed forces is that they have a small energy pool. It's not a big deal. As long as you agree to lend me the machine gun for research, I will figure out the complete supporting parts, and make sure that the two are perfectly combined. ”

Of course, power armor and multi-barreled machine guns are standard, and it's hard to find a more violent combination. But the question is, can the small body of the peaceful armed forces afford this rather obsessive version of the M134? The energy consumption speed of a multi-barreled machine gun is unbearable even for a wealthy guy.

However, Lin has always been interested in the energy center system of the peace army. But on the one hand, because they are not familiar with the peaceful armed forces, they dare not change them rashly; On the other hand, it is also because several silverbearded dwarves often avoid talking about the device, and even Jermaine, the big mouth, is quite cautious in his words and actions under Marit's supervision. After coming and going, Lin didn't touch the dwarf's sensitive nerves.

Since it was Jermaine who took the initiative to ask for it, Lin was also happy to let the dwarves toss it themselves. Although the multi-barreled machine gun is a big treasure that he values very much, it is not to the extent that no one can touch it. It's just that I usually want to show it off, and no one will understand its value. Every time when wiping and maintaining, there will be a feeling of regret that the pearl is secretly cast. It's not until today that it really shines...... No words from those two pesky apprentices complaining.

Jermaine, who was allowed to do so, couldn't wait to get into the work of integrating the two systems. In addition to that, in the days that followed, there were all kinds of aftermath work.

Including the Minister of War using the regained control of the Elven Communication Magic Array, mobilizing the elven armies gathered in various places, and encircling and suppressing the remnants of the fleeing centaurs.

The elves who stayed in the territory of the World Tree were, of course, clean up this messy battlefield. Harumi set a fire and burned the corpses of the centaurs. But where is the corpse so easy to ignite, after the power hidden in M134 is exhausted, there are still large areas of the battlefield that have not been disposed of, and the rest naturally has to be cleaned up by the elves.

There is also the screening of the members of the Shenmu Guard who once faced each other with swords. Judge who can still use it, who can't use it, how deep it is, and what the corresponding punishment is.

Originally, it was hoped that the Shenmu Guards would atone for their sins in the war against the centaurs, whether it was the king's side or the betrayed side. But all the credit was taken away by a certain magician who came out of nowhere, and the others didn't even dare to say anything, so they had to choose other ways to atone for their sins.

Another unavoidable problem is the future attitude of the Elven Kingdom towards the World Tree; For someone, it's whether his work to assist the World Tree in advancing can continue. Of course, Lin still maintains a consistent attitude towards this, and it is not bad for him whether he can continue or not. So in the discussion for several days, he focused on the secret that the elves had not yet passed on, the communication magic array.

When I was scouting the tree body village before, I originally took this communication magic array as the primary goal, but I didn't expect to directly find the magic array used by the god butcher, and then triggered a series of incidents. Later, I thought that I probably wouldn't have a chance to see this magic array, but for a multi-party meeting, someone who was invited to attend saw the true face of this communication magic array.

Although it only transmits sound, it can link the communication magic array in multiple places at the same time. And you can talk freely, and there will be no one-way restriction that you can't talk when you're on the radio, and you can't talk when you're talking. Therefore, at the meeting, not only the prime ministers of the kingdom who stayed in the royal capital were present, but also the six generals stationed in the six border fortresses, as well as the great druids in the farms in various places.

It is not entirely unreasonable for the kingdom of Pyathaime to choose a path that is very different from that of the Wood Elves. In the tribe of the Wood Elves, they are not eligible to live if they do not receive the blessing of the World Tree. And the so-called blessing is the conclusion of the contract of the soul.

In fact, the mere mention of this part reminds someone in the audience of the eugenics and ethnic cleansing policies that a certain people has carried out in the history of the earth. Although it is not known what the details are, one only feels that the symbiotic relationship between the elves and the World Tree is somewhat cruel. The difference is only in which party is the perpetrator and which party is the victim.

Maybe those speculations are not supported by evidence, but to use a phrase that detectives often see, when all assumptions that contradict the evidence are eliminated, the final remainder, no matter how bizarre, will be the truth.

But even if someone didn't want to go too deep, they still got found. The vast majority of ministers, generals, and grand druids who were eligible to attend the discussion were in favor of maintaining the existing state policy and were reluctant to change it, after understanding the reasons why the Shenmu Guard had not been declared to the world for a long time.

However, the weak King did not think so, and he wanted to free the shackles of the World Tree and help him successfully advance to greater power. If you want to go a little further, it is Lin once mentioned that the growth of all the world trees in the Lost Land also represents the inference of the overall growth of the Lost Land. The young king hoped that he could do his part in this matter.

But with the exception of the young Elven King and the three-flowered variegated kitten, who is the person concerned, almost no one supports such an idea. Therefore, Hitan III once again cast a look of help for help, hoping that the human magician who should be on the same side as him can exert his influence. But when he met a man who had been pretending to be dead, Ridan III had to ask, "Your Excellency Tripwood, what do you think about this matter?" ”

The ministers present were dissatisfied with the king's approach. Let's not say that the one is an outsider, he shouldn't have expressed his opinion, and he shouldn't even be in this kind of place. But...... Who dares to disobey him now? Maybe the elves on the other side of the communication magic circle can't understand it, but everyone present can't afford to resist in the slightest.

And for the previous hints, someone can pretend not to see it. But since they were all named and asked, it would be quite rude to continue to pretend to be dead, so Lin had to speak. But before that, he held down the kitten that was always running to his side, and then said, "If you want to ask my opinion, it is that I agree with your ministers, Your Majesty." ”

The first to react violently to the unexpected speech was, of course, the most important person, the incarnation of the World Tree Lahti. It's a pity that Lin held down the kitten one step earlier, and it was useless to let him struggle. The other young elven king, who was surprised, was dumbfounded and muttered, "But...... You ......"

"I said it, I don't have any position. And to be honest, I don't know either of you very well. So if I had to make a choice, I would only choose the option that didn't hurt that much. I believe that all of you who participated in the discussion were not necessarily in favor of using that method to control the World Tree. But why would you prefer to maintain the practices of the past rather than try to change? I'll just guess that you're scared. Although I don't want to admit it, I am worried that if the restrictions on the World Tree are relaxed, then the elves will not pay for their past actions. ”

"How could there be such a thing?" Hitan III exclaimed.

"No, ask your old allies. - Lin pointed to the silver-bearded dwarves who were beside him, "- They are experienced in the rebellion of the Guardians and the desire to kill the entire clan. It seems to me that the mistakes you make are similar to the mistakes made by the dwarves. All judgments are based on their own 'thoughts', never thinking about what the Guardians, or the World Tree, think. ”

At this time, the kitten, who had been struggling, quieted down, tilted its head to the side, looked at the nobody, and did not want to make eye contact with any elf. Seeing this, Lin smiled and continued: "And from my experience of assisting a World Tree to advance, the failure rate of helping Lahti advance is quite high. ”

Not only the young king was interested in such a conclusion, but even other experienced elves wanted to know why, including the kitten in his hand. Even though he couldn't turn his head completely, the kitten turned his head as best he could, looking at someone out of the corner of his eye.
