Because you seem to care about this female, I treated her. ’

Fasnas said something that could easily be misunderstood. And Mel looked at someone as if he was confirming, but also with deep suspicion.

Although they haven't been together for long, she knows very well what she means in the eyes of this magician. That is, it has no weight, and it is no different from passers-by. Several times I recommended myself for a pillow seat, but I was ruthlessly rejected. He cares about himself, and that's unimaginable.

As for Lin, he once again saw the stunt that the World Tree was best at, and he talked to himself. They never cared what others thought. It can also be said that the ideas of animals and plants are not in the same place, and it is difficult to understand each other.

This kind of situation has also been encountered in previous dealings with Waldwo or Lahti. It will not be until you can prove your worth that the World Tree's approach will change slightly and try to cooperate with you. Otherwise, you can only watch the other party sing a one-man show, and you can only choose to cooperate or not to cooperate, there is no third option.

So as for the 'goodwill' that Fasnas offered on his own initiative, Lin did not intend to explain it to anyone. Including the misunderstood World Tree, and the incomprehensible Mel. He ignored the questioning female dark elves behind him, waiting for the question from Fassnath.

I don't know if it's a matter of whether the plant doesn't care about whether others are grateful after they have given kindness; Or maybe Fassnath found out that he had made an oolong, but he was desperate to save face. Anyway, the World Tree, in his equally flat tone, said, 'I want to know what you think of the World Tree's advancement. ’

'None of my business. Lin replied directly.

Because this sentence was said in the language of his hometown, it was natural that Mai Erjiao, who was staying behind, did not know the meaning of the words. Otherwise, she would have been surprised that the magician in front of her would refute her majesty's words in such a way. As for the understandable Fasinas, the cannibal tree in the heart of the tree has nothing to show emotions, so Lin doesn't know what the meaning of the tree's silence represents.

Still, Lin explains: 'There's a saying in my hometown that it's more important to ask the right questions than to get the right answers. Your Majesty's question just now is so vague that I don't know what kind of answer you're hoping for. So at least let me know the cause and effect, or whatever kind of reason makes you want to ask such a question, and then I can give my personal opinion. Of course, this is not necessarily true, as I am not above the World Tree and know everything about you. If I just hope that I can guess your thoughts from your subtle words and make a sprinkling article, then my answer is the four words just now. ’

Without any anger or emotion in it, Fasinas recounted blandly: 'For a long time, the growth of the World Tree was based on the ashes of another World Tree, gaining new signs, touching and connecting new worlds, and absorbing the gap between the two worlds, forming a tidal wave of energy. ——’

The treetops of the cannibal tree shook to reveal eight bubbles that reflected somewhere. The environment is not the same as the maze; If there are obvious man-made objects, their cultural characteristics are also different from those of the various Homo sapiens species in the Lost Land. Lin knew that these were the eight worlds connected by Fasnas, and they were unreservedly revealed. Unfortunately, there is no familiar view of the earth.

But a long time ago, it was like I hit a bottleneck. No amount of ashes from the World Tree will allow me to peek into the next world's sign. At first, I thought that it was because the World Tree that had become nourishment touched the world to which I had already connected, so it could not be an effective guide. But I later found out that this was not the case. All worlds connected by the World Tree are different. ——’

This key clue shocked Lin in his heart. On the surface, he thought quietly: There are more than twenty world trees in the Lost Land, each connecting one to eight worlds, if they are all different, it is that the passage of the earth is on a certain world tree!

—but there was a shackle that limited my gaze and prevented me from reaching out to a new world. When I realized this, I thought it was because I didn't get enough nutrients from the ashes of other World Trees, or even that those World Trees were too weak for me. So I embarked on a frenzied campaign with the eyes of your human beings. I even thought that the ashes of another ancient one, Yggtrasil, would be the key to breaking the shackles. ——’

At this point, Lin also heard a hint of madness in his voice. This means that Fisnas is not without emotions, but that those things don't tickle him. But then the voice was flat again.

But everything is in vain, and no one can loosen the shackles, not even half a cent. Even the more you conquer, the stronger the shackles seem to become. And the tower built by you magicians makes it impossible to continue this madness, and I am cold in this mind. I'm sure the same thing happened to Yggdrahir. ’

Lin judged: "That was the situation before. But if His Majesty wants to see me today and ask me such questions, it means that the situation has changed. Then the only possibility, that is, Wadwo's self-promotion, right? ’

'Yes. ’

Lin asked, 'Then may I ask, what is the change that you have noticed, Your Majesty?' ’

The shackles that bind us have been loosened. For the first time, Fasnas said in a cheerful voice. So I wonder why. ’

'Isn't that obvious, do you need to say it?' Lin pouted and said.

I would like to know your opinion. ’

As you can probably guess, what Fisnas wants to hear now is not a cliché. So Lin thought about it seriously and said, "In my hometown, there is a discipline called economics, and there is a theory of the 'invisible hand' in it. Roughly speaking, individual actions that maximize self-interest can promote the efficiency and development of society as a whole. Do you agree with this view, Your Majesty? ’

Fassnath was silent for a moment and said, 'This is very reasonable. The farmer farms, the hunter hunts, and they don't do it for the sake of other people's food. But in the end, their results can be exchanged for food on other people's tables. ’

But in fact, such a theory can lead to many problems, including the rise of capitalism and colonialism. Too complex evolution not to say. To put it simply, in order for such a theoretical foundation to develop in a good direction, it must be supported by unlimited resources. But in fact, this is not possible, because the raw materials that can support the output are limited, and the market is saturated. When there is a shortage of raw materials and the market is saturated, then the competition becomes quite cutthroat. Speaking of which, does Your Majesty have a very familiar feeling? ’

The man-eating tree was silent, but Lin Ke would not stop voicing his opinion. He continued: 'Under the premise of pursuing the common prosperity and progress of the whole, this theory has evolved. That is, the ideal actions of each individual need to be adjusted according to the actions of known others to achieve the maximum profit of the whole. Under such a premise, the benefits that an individual can take may not necessarily be the greatest benefit that an individual can obtain, and may only be second-high, but it will never require others to sacrifice. The former theory considers only the individual, while the latter considers the whole. However, there are many problems with this theory, how to ensure that everyone is cooperative, and the information between each other is open and transparent. ’

'Cooperation. After a moment of silence, Fassnath asked: 'What is the reason why we must cooperate?' There's no easier way. ’

'Your Majesty's so-called easier way is nothing more than the question of how I can help Wadwo advance. Lin groped out a bag from his arms, which was sewn from the leftovers of the three sets of clothes of Siling, Jiulong, and White Cat. This bag is mainly used by Lin to carry some small things with him, and at the same time, it can not be polluted by the flashing technique.

Lin took out a magic stone from his bag and said, "Actually, I thought that Your Majesty would ask me for such a thing at the beginning, but you didn't. It's because you're not sure how much this thing will help you. Inside this magic stone, there is a record of most of the information that helped Waldwo advance in the first place. It includes the design of the observation equipment, the various data calculated by yourself, and the inferences you make after observing the World Tree. However, I have removed the only information about Waldwo, which will not hinder Your Majesty. ’

The magic stone that was taken out, Lin casually threw it forward. When it was thrown in mid-air, there were branches from nowhere, and they were wrapped around at lightning speed. Lin then remembered and asked, 'Do you know how to read the data inside?' ’

As soon as the question was asked, I saw the front of the cannibal tree, opened more than a dozen water mirror screens in one go, and then closed them in order. But every time you turn off a water mirror screen, the next one opens. Obviously, the data can be quickly browsed at a speed that is beyond the reach of humans. Lin smacked his lips and said self-deprecatingly, "It seems that this doesn't need to be taught. ’

It's just that absorbing information at such a superhuman speed is usually very one-sidedly receiving literal information, and it is impossible to have one's own thinking and generate one's own opinions. Therefore, Lin was not very confident that Fasnas could understand the meaning of those materials, so he was patient, waiting for the other party to finish reading and asking questions.

But once again, he made the mistake of looking at others through his own eyes.

Fassnath quickly digested the contents. In someone's surprised gaze, the big void in which he was in turned into a dream space like a forest, a world where there was only boundless darkness in all directions. It's just that someone's dream is full of bright lights, like a starlight. However, this place is filled with a super huge and sophisticated multi-layered magic array.

However, in someone's eyes, this magic array is not just a magic array. For Lin, the things that Fassnath showed were very close to a kind of earth occult knowledge that he knew—the Kabbalah Tree of Life.
