Maybe it's too young, or maybe it's not used to being rejected. The first time Ezio heard that his thoughts were not accepted, his emotions were a little out of control.

But he did a good job of putting away some tyrannical thoughts. In addition to the fact that such an attitude should not exist, more importantly, he can't win! I don't know which reason has a larger weight. Anyway, not many people will believe this kind of thing themselves.

However, Ezio still asked very seriously, "Your Majesty, you said that you would disappoint me." Is there something I want to do? ”

Ezio thought about the whole thing anew. The World Tree, or the World Tree that has taken root, and the Abyss are naturally in opposing positions, and there are irreconcilable contradictions between the two. Because once the Maze Land is abyssized, the World Tree rooted in the Maze will die, and only the World Tree that sprouts again can adapt to the new world.

It is not impossible to sacrifice oneself and fulfill the younger generations. But only for the sake of a greater goal, not just for the sake of 'fulfilling' others.

You know, the World Tree is a plant. According to a certain magician, there is nothing more selfish in this world than plants.

In a forest, plants will desperately grow taller and expand their canopies in order to compete for sunlight, even if they shade other plants.

And those parasitic plants directly absorb nutrients from the parasitic plants, and even kill them, eventually leading to the death of the parasitic.

It's all because what plants do is based on their survival instincts, and they don't think about whether other plants can survive or not. There is no such thing as courtesy. Even if true symbiosis is achieved, it is only because of the different needs of each other.

Etiquette is the product of civilized society for the sake of order and common interests. It not only takes care of the weak, but also gives respect to the strong, so that the strong and weak can achieve the most ideal result of common development and progress through etiquette. The unsatisfactory part of the ideal will not be discussed much.

Although the World Tree has the intelligence to communicate with humans and other Homo sapiens, it does not mean that they will abide by the rules of the human world. Realizing that he might face the World Tree head-on, Ezio prepared for this.

But now it seems that that psychological preparation is not enough. I still have something to think about.

Thankfully, Fasnas doesn't have the bad taste attribute of being a and whisking human like most humans do. She said bluntly: "I'll say the conclusion first. Cast out demons, that's what we can agree with. It is not a good thing to let the abyss take root in the maze. But when it comes to closing the gates of the abyss, we will think differently than you. ”

The 'we' and 'you' in the mouth of the ancient Phassnath are undoubtedly the 'World Tree' and 'human' races, or all Homo sapiens in general. This distinction convinced Ezio that he was lacking something.

It's not an omission or omission, it's a part that I don't know, changing the shape of the puzzle in my imagination, and making the result go against my judgment. And the easiest way to make up for this part of the cognitive deficit is to ask.

"Your Majesty Fassnath, what's wrong with closing the door to the abyss? Is it a good thing to let the devil go in and out freely? ”

"What does it make sense to say that there are already eight abyssal doors open in the Lost Land, and you only close this new ninth door? Opening the door to the abyss is not the same thing as the demons being able to enter and exit freely. Said the cannibal dead tree.

With this hint, Ezio suddenly remembered something he had heard in the past. "Speaking of which, Hardy once said that the Demon Cat Tribe assisted the Moth King Jaean Moss in guarding a gate to the abyss in the Cat Forest in the south, and this matter is true. But I've only heard him say it once, and I thought he was joking. ”

Hadi the Grey Cat, an old cat from the southern border of the Gwana Empire. Although it is a cat, as long as it is old, it is inevitable that it likes to 'talk about the year'. This tendency was especially acute for the old black dragon Augustus.

The Ancients in the World Tree certainly didn't know who Hardy was, but they didn't care either. She heard the point of Ezio's words and said, "Look, you know that too. So do you still insist on closing the door to the abyss? ”

"But why is there a door to the abyss that opens, but no demons pass through? Is it because of the demon cat family? They don't look like they're that good at fighting. Ezio asked again.

Phassnath replied, "The eight long-existing gates of the Abyss are guarded by guardians, preventing the two worlds from coming and going. However, the newly opened door does not have a guardian, and the demons will use it to invade the Lost Lands in a big way. ”

Speaking of which, Ezio had enough hints to go. The reason why a certain mage doesn't make a move is the same as the reason why the World Trees don't make a move.

They are equally willing to cast out demons, but they don't want to close the gates of the abyss. And such an idea is contrary to the idea of most people today, to drive away demons and close the door to the abyss.

So no matter what, the power that the mage in the family and the World Tree can control will definitely not make a move at such a time. Even if the human alliance succeeds in driving the demon back to the abyss and has a chance to close the door of the abyss, they may still come forward to side with the demon.

This is a fundamental disagreement of purpose, and such a disagreement could lead to the outbreak of another war. So Ezio asked the question that would be asked from the standpoint of a human being: "Why should the Abyssal Gate be kept open?" Isn't it good to shut them all down and cut off the demonic contacts? ”

"I don't have the right answer to that question. As for the inferences, I'll ask that one. Fasnas said. At the same time, the dried corpse in the tree seemed to snap its fingers. In the high-seat meeting space, a crisp snap of the fingers sounded.

In the next moment, on one of the two empty benches, there was a man squatting on the chair, holding a large bowl and instigating noodles. It's just that now he froze, his eyes staring straight at Ezio and Mel in the middle of the ring table, and he felt like 'Who am I, why am I here?' 'taste.

Originally, I wanted to suck the noodles hanging in my mouth, but unfortunately the noodles that didn't go into my mouth couldn't resist the side effects of the flashing technique. Polluted by the chaotic energy of the dimensional gaps, the noodles writhed restlessly like maggots. Suddenly make someone lose their appetite.

Spit out the strange noodles in his mouth, Lin shrank his hands holding the big bowl and holding the fast son, and put it together for eleven beats! Suddenly, noodles, bowls, and other objects are slapped into sub-level dust. He asked, "Tell me, why did you find me again?" ”

"Your child, explain the speculation yourself. Lord of the Planes. Fasnas said in a calm tone.

Lin did not hide his disgust in the slightest. As long as it was related to Ezio, he had this attitude. That's why when this big fat boy jumped up before, he didn't hesitate to kick people to the side of the World Tree.

But it was as if things were flying back to themselves like boomerangs. Pouting dissatisfied, Lin asked, "Do you know what we want to do?" ”

Ezio had a similar expression. It is said that he can live well with anyone, but facing this man is like a magnetic field repulsion, and all aspects will be lost. But now was not the time to argue, and he wanted to know the truth of the matter, so he replied, "I know what you want to do." But I also want to know, why. ”

Lin thought in his heart, and the most difficult level was passed. As long as this kid doesn't make a fuss when he hears that he doesn't intend to close the door of the abyss, and talks from reasonable to unreasonable, then things can continue to be talked about.

With a good start, Lin finally told Ezio all about the Ninth Power plan. Including the purpose of the promotion of the World Tree, the Goddess of Gold Coin became the ninth powerful divine power in addition to the Lord of the Eight Powers.

And the 'speculation' in the mouth of Fassnath is the reason for the appearance of the ninth abyss gate. Although there was no conclusive evidence, Lin still put his inference on it. The final summary says:

"So, you mentioned that closing all the doors of the Abyss will most likely cut off the possibility of the development of all transcendent powers in the Lost Land. Eventually, not only will there be no demons, but even creatures or professions with extraordinary powers, such as monsters and magicians, will no longer exist. ”

After hearing the conclusion, Ezio couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Isn't that very good! If there is no gap between people, there will be no bullying. ”

Someone's heart is dead in the shape of a dead fish, looking at the innocent big fat boy in front of him. Then he asked, "What should you do when you encounter a danger that cannot be handled by manpower, and there is no magic to help?" ”

"The Auto Center, the Tech Guild's, what they're developing works well even if they don't have magic. Isn't it possible to make a suitable weapon or tool with the same technology? Ezio said confidently.

I want to take the route of science and technology. Someone snorted twice and asked again: "Since you have said that the existence of the Abyss Gate is very likely to be the source of the transcendent power of the Lost Land. So after closing all the gates of the Abyss, what are the World Trees going to do? ”

Someone's soul asked, and Ezio was speechless, and his face froze. According to his original idea, if he needs to sacrifice the existence of extraordinary power, he can achieve a better world where everyone is equal, then why not.

But...... The World Tree seems to have been included in the sacrificial range of its own. Will they be willing to be sacrificed like this? How to think, how impossible.

In other words, the path of closing all the gates of the abyss has become an irreconcilable opposite opinion between the human side and the World Tree. And Ezio certainly doesn't stand his mind on such occasions.

He is only alone, and the dark elf Mel beside him is the faithful servant of the World Tree, and the magician in front of him is the initiator of the whole thing. When I dare to put forward such a stupid opinion, I am afraid that I will have to single out all the existence here, and there is nowhere to escape.

At this time, the cannibal dead tree suddenly spoke and said: "The previous goblin empire that wanted to do this was united and destroyed by us. ”

"Uh~" "Uh~" The two humans looked at the World Tree Ancient One who interjected speechlessly. As for the question of who joined forces, neither of them bothered to ask.

"And then there's such a budding dwarven empire that they have finished playing with themselves. Although I have also sent a lot of people to sow discord. ”

"Uh~!" The two humans looked at each other. Lin pointed his finger around and pointed to the World Tree and concluded, "Anyway, that's it. Great human chauvinism doesn't work in the maze. Unless you're sure to blow them up. ”
