Dismantle the magic and uncover the fire-lacquered credentials, which Andre Kirill placed in front of him. He did not open the letterhead and read its contents. Regaining his composure, he asked directly, "Since the content of the letter is a plan led by Your Excellency. Then could you please explain directly the purpose of your visit to our country? ”

What seems like a casual move is actually the result of careful consideration by the king André Kirill. He already knew the contents of the letter, and he followed the words of the magician, skipping the action of reading the letter, and he could avoid seeing the twenty-one World Tree Holy Patterns.

Of course, this is not for fear of being exposed, but to avoid the political pressure brought about by the twenty-one holy emblems. If the other party in the negotiation is only a magician, of course, it will be much easier to deal with; But if it is a mage with the endorsement of twenty-one World Trees, the pressure of negotiation is not the same. If you don't see the contents of the letter, you can pretend to be stupid and act as if you don't know about it.

Although he has been poisoned by Onishima political talk shows, someone is not a big layman in politics. But compared to being immersed in this way all his life, all kinds of sassy operations are easy to come by, and he is like a natural monarch of a country, someone is still too tender. Therefore, Lin didn't notice the deep meaning behind the king in front of him, and since the other party asked, he would answer.

"The main purpose of visiting your country is to hope that your country will give up the act of suppressing the will of the world tree and liberate it." Lin said bluntly.

"The relationship between the elves and the World Tree is one of symbiosis and co-prosperity, which is something that everyone knows. Why do you say that our country has suppressed the will of the World Tree? Andrei Prier said.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, it's okay to deceive ignorant outsiders with these words. I think everyone here knows what the truth is, so don't hide it. I would suggest this for no reason, because it is at stake for the future survival and development of your country. Do you know that your kingdom has reached a critical point of life and death, and if it does not change, it will eventually be swallowed up by the kingdom of mankind. Even the last pure land under the feet will be reduced to nothing. In line with the tradition of the Three Kingdoms Army, to offer a plan, first scary people, Lin exaggerated the truth as much as possible.

It was just a scaring rhetoric that didn't seem to shake the king. He smiled with contempt and said to the ministers in Elven language, 'It seems as if we are about to perish, and then a human will come and worry about us. I don't even recognize when the world became so crazy. ’

The frog, which is slowly boiled in warm water, only feels that the water is very warm, and does not know that he is about to die. Then I am here to ask Your Majesty, is the current water temperature still appropriate? Lin used Elven language to tell fables that were not new in his hometown.

It's not uncommon for humans to speak Elven language in the Lost Land, but it's also quite rare. The magician in front of him performed this hand, of course, it would not shock the old fritters in this group of elves, but the warning in the words still made them seriously think about whether there was really a hidden and unknown crisis in their own country. Maybe they don't have the term 'obsessed with the authorities', but that doesn't mean they don't know about the situation.

Although he was a little unimpressed, Andre Prier was also intrigued to hear what the magician had to say. In the lingua franca of Huimi, the elven king said: "Your Excellency has already stated at the beginning that this trip is for the liberation of the World Tree, and how it is related to the fate of our country. I can't accept that this is just a casual statement, so please come up with a convincing set of arguments. If it is consistent with the facts, I am not unable to consider it. ”

Andrei Prier is conservative and seems to be backing down, but in fact he just wants to get information from the magician. On a practical level, he didn't make any commitments. Although Lin was aware of this, it was better to have a chance to speak than not to be able to put any fart well. So he reached out and pinched the clothes in front of his left and right waists, pulled them violently, and pulled the upper body of the robe flat and straight, and said:

"Your Majesty, don't think I'm alarmist, there is a causal relationship between the two. The elves have always advocated equality and freedom, believing that the feudal system of the human kingdom is actually just a beautified slavery system. I have no objection to this. But perhaps you don't know it, or you know it, but you choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and there is already a privileged class among the elves that you spurn. ”

"Human, you should understand, this is a very serious accusation." Andrei Prier said unhappily.

Lin was not afraid of the king's anger, and said, "I believe you all know what happened in the Kingdom of Pyathaime. Their World Tree Lahti was liberated, but the process did not go smoothly. I don't mean to blame anything, but I, who was involved in the whole process, predicted the possible future development based on what I observed. ”

As for the affairs of other countries, especially those of the elven kingdom, of course, those here are concerned. Previously, because the elven kingdom was relatively closed compared to other countries, it was difficult to obtain first-hand detailed information. Now there are people who claim to be participants who want to say, and there is no one who is not curious, and everyone listens.

Seeing such an opening, it really attracted the attention of the elves, and I suddenly felt like I was in the academy classroom. Lin cleared his throat and said, "No matter what the relationship between the elves and the master-slave relationship of the World Tree is, in order to protect the World Tree, a team will definitely be sent in. And the mission of this team, in addition to protecting the World Tree, will also have the task of collecting materials on a regular basis. In this regard, your country should be the same as the kingdom of Pyat-Haime. ”

Andrei Prier nodded briefly, indicating that some magician was right. Lin continued: "However, the most valuable thing for the elves is not the various magical materials prefixed with the World Tree, but a symbiotic ritual called 'Blessing'. Elves who receive the blessing of the World Tree can gain longer lives, stronger physiques, and even the ability to get closer to nature, which some people call talented. It can be said that there are blessed elves and unblessed elves, which can almost be regarded as two different levels of life. That's why you're going to divide the Wood Elves into a separate category, and that's right. ”

In Andre Purrier's thoughts, not many people outside know about the blessings of the World Tree. But considering that the mage in front of him has reached the status of a core member of the Ikaruga Alliance, it is not surprising to know this. So the elven king didn't ask any more nonsense, but nodded very dryly and agreed with the other party's statement.

"But did Your Majesty ever think that the members in charge of guarding are the elves closest to the World Tree. And the fact that he could serve as the guardian of the World Tree and receive blessings because he had high enough merit turned into a blessing ceremony that was monopolized by this group of guards. And for how long has it been that no new blood has joined the group of guards, making this most sacred and glorious position a few people's pockets? Of course, this is what I saw in the kingdom of Payathaime, and it may not be the same as the situation in your country. ”

Although someone was just stating the situation in another country, it also made the elves present fall into consideration. Is there a slight difference in their situation? Lin gave the elves a moment to think, as if they were brewing, before continuing:

"There is a very arrogant saying in my hometown, that is, 'with great power comes great responsibility'. Why do people feel more responsibility when they are more capable? Isn't it because these people think that others can't solve the problem, only he can, so he has to come forward to help others solve the problem. And the way to solve it, of course, is to use his method. To put it nicely, it's called meddling; To put it mildly, that's ambition. When did other people's problems become his problems, and when did others become his responsibilities, if this person hadn't taken the initiative to take care of these things, would most of the things be related to him? If that's not ambition, then I don't know what ambition is. And the biggest difference between this is whether the person who has the ability and ambition can help others solve the problem after the fact, or hope to prevent the problem from happening in advance. If it were the latter, what would the person do? ”

After throwing out a question, Lin noticed that the faces of many elves had become unnatural. But whether I feel that the deeds are exposed, or whether I think the big thing is not good, I can't feel it. But he didn't give anyone too much time to think about it, and continued:

"In the case of the Kingdom of Payathaime, for example, the Divine Tree Guards, who have mastered the World Tree, whenever it concerns them, the most common answer to their young king is: 'Your Majesty is too young to think about it. In this matter, just follow what we are used to. And about the matter of the World Tree, it seems to have become a forbidden part of the Shenmu Guard, and the people of the royal family are not allowed to interfere, and even ask more. The question then is, will this always be limited to matters related to the World Tree, or will it one day be extended to the affairs of the entire kingdom? Just because the kings were too young to be as knowledgeable as they were; The elves of the kingdom are also not as powerful as they are, so they feel compelled to stand up. Everything is for the good of the kingdom. ”

"Your Excellency, you underestimate the loyalty of elves. This kind of thing doesn't happen. As the king of a country, Andrei Prier directly refuted.

"Sometimes, the other party doesn't necessarily come to do these things with a sense of betrayal. They simply choose what he thinks is good for the kingdom and good for everyone. Believe that you are standing on the right side and doing the right thing. This kind of rebellious behavior with conviction is more terrible than anything else, because you can't shake the other person. I believe that His Majesty Andrei's abilities are definitely the best among the elves, and the kingdom under your leadership is thriving. However, can you guarantee that your children and grandchildren will be able to maintain the same situation, and the future army or the Shenmu Guard will not breed any ambitions. There is no need to even be ambitious, when their ideas and interests are different from those of the royal family, what position will they stand on, and for whom will they do it? So the best way to do this is to get the World Tree out of their control, and even out of the control of everyone in your country. Deal with it in a different way than in the past. In this way, there will be no troubles among the elves, the privileged class. ”
