Chapter 438: The Future of the Kingdom II
Looking at the curious appearance of a group of people, Lin didn't sell it, and said with a smile: "The most important thing to bear the energy tide of the gap between dimensions is to rely on the natural magic formation pattern on the tree, which is the talent of the World Tree. And in order to advance, you have to reconstruct the magic formation on your body, so that it can adapt to the impact of higher dimensions. Butβ"
Pointing outside, it was the direction of the World Tree,
The tree was dug and scarred, and there were even people living in it. When it comes time to advance, do you think that dreamy-looking tree village will bring good things or bad things? I think the first thing that will happen is that the people who live in it can't withstand the impact, so they die first. Then, because of the many loopholes on its body, the World Tree cannot achieve perfect protection, and will eventually be breached by the defense line. If you are lucky, you lose most of your life; Bad luck, it just happened to become the coffin board of the elves on the body, and they were buried together. βββ
Looking at the disbelieving expressions of a group of people, Lin smiled and explained,
"βdon't think I'm talking nonsense, a parable will make you understand. Dressed like a silverbearded dwarf, you'll be able to shoot arrows no matter how your enemies shoot them. But if this set of armor is missing a piece of the arm, a piece of the chest, a piece of the brain, and there are loopholes everywhere, and the enemy shoots arrows again, will it be completely fine, or will something big happen if you are unlucky? So if it's me, I wouldn't recklessly choose the World Tree to advance in this situation. β
At this time, Lin relaxed his hand, and the Sanhua kitten ran out, looking at someone warily. Lin also looked at the kitten and continued: "That violent energy is unimaginable to ordinary people, and it is impossible for you not to understand. So why not be prepared and wait until you're more sure to implement your plan? Your life is so long that you can't afford to wait. β
"Then we can't do anything, business as usual?" The menstrual king said bitterly.
"Of course not." From the bag on the cuff, Lin took out a magic stone with some programming languages, which really made the eyes of the Sanhua kitten light up. He smiled and began to tease the cat. At the same time, he said: "The way the Wood Elves choose to live in symbiosis with the World Tree is a choice; The symbiosis you have chosen is also a choice, and these are two extremes, so to speak. But there can't be any other options. An option that doesn't have to be so cruel to the World Tree, and doesn't have to worry about retribution or restriction. If there is such a method, I believe that there will not be too many elves who insist on going the old way. β
"It's going to be such a good thing." Hitan III smiled bitterly again.
"Try to find a way out, boy. Isn't that the responsibility of a king to find a way to be just and kind to all his people? Or do you think that the World Tree is not part of yours and can only accept the unfair treatment? β
"But ......"
Regarding the hesitation in the king's words, Lin also probably knew what the other party was worried about. So he said: "It is difficult and simple to dissolve hatred, and the important thing is whether you can find a bridge between the two sides." As long as good communication can be maintained, differences between the two sides can be eliminated, and common interests can be found, no hatred will last forever. In view of this, I can recommend a candidate. β
"Who?" Except for the young king's question, this was also the question of most of the elves present. There was even a great druid at the other end of the communication magic array, who said in a displeased tone, "Is that you, human?" How much do we have to pay to get you to accept this task? β
Someone directly ignored the sour words and said to himself: "The person you all know, well, it should be, is the little princess Valeria." β
"My little sister?" Hitan III said questioningly.
"As far as I've heard. If nothing else, the spirit of the World Tree, which had been obliterated, unexpectedly revived when your little princess came to receive her blessing. In other words, there must be some kind of connection between the two. Of course, I don't know if it's good or bad, but it's always a breakthrough, much better than a situation where you're at a loss. β
But ......" the young king, who loved his sister, hesitated.
To this, Lin smiled. With a quick technique that others can't see, he grabbed the three-flower kitten in his hand again. Holding his forelimbs, he faced the sad Ridan III and said, "Or are you worried that your sister will be hurt by this beast?" At this time, Lahti cooperated and tried to put on a very fierce expression, baring her fangs and meowing in a milky voice......
Looking at the cute appearance of this majesty, Hitan III also felt that he was thinking too much. As far as his sister's newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger's courage, who bullies who doesn't know yet. Although the deep lock of his brows was loosened, he still asked again as if confirmed: "Can this really work?" β
"No matter what kind of organism, the young are the most malleable. If the Kingdom of Pyatsea has the heart to find another path of symbiosis with the World Tree, now is the best time. Besides, whatever extreme you intend to go to, it takes time to prepare, and it doesn't seem like it can be done in a moment. So you still have a lot of time to argue, and you don't have to rush it over. β
If he wants to help the World Tree advance, Lin guesses that if he wants to restore the body of the tree to its best condition, it will take ten years to jump just by relying on natural growth. Are there any other ways to speed up growth? It's probably to grab other world trees to nourish itself. Although he had a World Tree seed sent by Wadwo at hand, Lin Ke had no intention of contributing it selflessly. Maybe it would be a good choice to bring back the Earth species?
If the elves choose to wipe out the consciousness of the World Tree once again, considering the resentful power accumulated by the God-Slaughtering Magic Array for a long time, it will be wiped out by a certain lich who pretends to be a public servant. If you want to reopen the God Slaughter Array, you can't run away with a super-large-scale sacrifice, and that scale is likely to fill in the entire Paiyat Sea Mame Kingdom is not enough.
"And what are you going to do next?" Idan III asked about someone's future movements, and the elves present all listened with their ears straight.
"The tentative plan is to stay for a while, and according to the previous plan, do some examinations for His Majesty Lahti. Otherwise, something, I'm just guessing. Right or wrong, it depends on the final evidence. And the World Tree is not visible everywhere, and I have some research that requires the cooperation of the World Tree. Of course, I will only do this after your consent is obtained. β
"It's just wonderful. We will do our best to accommodate your request. "Zhidan III took someone's hand as soon as he grabbed it. The other party was scared, and the magic stone in his hand fell down and was swallowed by the kitten.
As if he had not seen anyone's embarrassment, the young king got up and said to his courtiers, 'Ladies and gentlemen, you have heard the words of Lord Tripwood. His Majesty Lahti, and the decision is suspended. The centaur bandits are still on the border, and their annihilation is a priority. β
'No. After an answer, the generals threw themselves into the command of the encirclement and suppression of the centaurs.
However, the news sent back from all over the country all proved that this Centaur army still had considerable organization and action. Many elven armies that had not yet been fully assembled collapsed at the first touch, and they could not block each other well at all. This comparison makes the elves with military backgrounds more enthusiastic about a certain weapon.
Lin was a little puzzled at first about being left behind by the young elven king and his old man minister who was not surprised when he kicked his legs. For his king's twisted and unspeakable appearance, the Minister of War Maxim Starchet did not have so many scruples. He had dealt with many magicians and knew this kind of person, so he asked directly:
"Lord Tripwood. We want to buy the same weapon that you used on the battlefield against the centaurs. I wonder how much you're willing to pay? β
"Huh." With a lukewarm smile, Lin certainly knew what kind of ideas the elves were playing. The intellectual property rights of magic may be protected by the Wizards' Guild, but weapons are not. Like the ship-chopping knife that was sold in the era of the Great Sage's Tower, and then I heard the relevant news, it has become an empire's elite army standard weapon, who should I talk to.
Regardless of whether the elves had the idea of imitating it, or used it as an artifact and collected it as a national weapon, Lin had no intention of selling this M134. It's not just that it's really an epoch-making hot weapon; What's more, the M134 is far from a commodity.
It's like building an airplane, the plane that is built must at least be able to go to the sky well, and then it will not be planted inexplicably. If the kind of plane that hasn't even gotten off the test bench and doesn't know whether it can be safely in the sky is also sold, it will be ruined to your own reputation and credit.
In the war against the centaurs, don't look at the various powers of the M134 multi-barrel machine gun, it is actually taking advantage of the World Tree, and the focus is on the four words 'infinite energy'.
The efficiency of the power utilization of the magic gun has always been a part of the three women's criticism. In particular, the energy conversion efficiency of the rough and high-speed M134 is even lower to less than 5%, and the rest is all entropy.
For the magazine that was originally matched with the M134, the magic stone was placed as the main energy supply component. After being stuffed with high-quality magic stones, it can shoot between 1,700 and 2,200 rounds...... It means that if you hold on to the trigger, it will be soft in twenty-two seconds at most. Compared with the close relatives of the earth, a magazine has 4,000 rounds of ammunition, which is really much worse.
With the same number of magic stones, you can buy as many things as you want, how many magic you can cast, and how many things you can do. But it only takes twenty-two seconds on the M134, not to mention the machine-gun fire, and most of the time it is digging sweet potatoes.
Someone had only missed 66 percent of the time before, purely because the centaurs had no experience in fighting firearms, and they charged in a dense array. If you have an enemy who knows how to attack with a straggler, the hit rate will be even lower.
And these flaws are the reason why the two apprentices have always hated this weapon. What a waste!
Knowing these shortcomings, Lin did not expose his shortcomings, but said: "The dwarves are also quite interested in such weapons, and I agree to let them try to integrate them into the peace armament." Maybe let's look at the results of the silverbearded dwarves first, and then talk about the rest, how about that? β
The old elves who are accustomed to the world probably know that this can be regarded as a method for merchants to raise prices. But so what? Do you have the capital to bargain? I'm not afraid that this guy will turn his gun at the right point. Maxime Starchet sighed in his heart, but verbally said, "Of course, it depends on your wishes. β
