The phrase 'when you see people talk about people, and when you see people talk about ghosts', this sentence is somewhat derogatory. But in fact, there is only one core theme, and there must be a common topic when talking to people, so that there is a way to keep the conversation going. Unilateral words will only be annoying.

In the same way, for both parties to cooperate, either they have common interests, or one party can offer a reward that the other party will not refuse. Singing a high profile and kidnapping others with moral favors is useless in front of the strong.

Hypocritical morality is a weapon used by the weak to bully the weaker, because the strong can come up with a hundred ways to break the situation and penetrate the fragile hypocrisy. If you can't do this, how can you be worthy of being strong?

However, when there are irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides, one can imagine how slim the possibility of cooperation is. What kind of benefits or rewards should be proposed so that the World Trees can commit suicide and abandon their lives with peace of mind and confession?

In other words, if you want to close all the doors of the abyss, or retreat to the next best thing, and only close the door that is now causing the invasion of the demon army, you will not get the support of the World Tree. This also means that neither the elven army nor the magician will make a move.

Lin looked at the big fat boy's face after he became thinner, and his creamy face was distorted, as if he was struggling with something, so he said, "Now you can understand why I didn't want to tell you this at the beginning." Because if those words had come out of my mouth, I guess you would still be arguing with me, and you would even do some irrational things.

"In the same way, I didn't go to the front line at the first time to help the countries repel the demon coalition army, and it was for this reason. The first thought of all human beings must be the same as yours. That is to repel the demons and close the gates of the abyss.

"If everyone knew that the Abyssal Gate had opened eight realms, and that it could be the source of supernatural power. Then what choice do you think you will make if the people under your rule are all obedient and slaves?

"At such times, someone jumps out and says: I can help defeat the demons, but the door of the abyss must be opened for me. Will such a person be seen as a reinforcement, or as an enemy? Sadly, if this kind of thing is determined, it will take a lot of effort to clear it later.

"Of course, the smartest thing to do is to accept us for a while and then rebel when you are close to success. But this possibility has been thought of here, so how can it not be guarded against such a means.

"For me, the ideal development would be for the human alliance to be so difficult that I have to turn to me for help, or ask the elven army to attack. Since they have something to ask for, then we have the bargaining chips to put forward conditions, and it is possible for the lost side to settle their differences in a peaceful way. These benefits are not available by taking the initiative to deliver them to the door. ”

"Is this the only way? Or should I start by asking, is this really possible? Ezio tried his last best to convince the man in front of him to solve the dilemma.

The cannibal dead tree then chimed in: "It works. In fact, years ago, I felt the signs of instability in the shackles that bound me. This is something that I have not felt in the millions of years since I climbed to the top. But there is still one key point missing. ”

】

There is an elder who shows up to say. Although the 'feeling' is not a good thing to say, and it is not qualified evidence, the weight of the World Tree's opening is still very sufficient. Lin went on to say:

"Look. The whole plan has been running so far, and it looks like it is doable. And from the available evidence, once the whole project is successfully completed, it will not only benefit the World Tree. Rather, all creatures with extraordinary powers, including the Lost Land, have a chance to jump up a step. This is why the Lord of the Guardians has remained silent to this day. ”

As if reminded, Ezio said, "Yes, Lord of the Guardians. Why does her silence have something to do with this? Didn't others say that because the descending Abyss Lord did not violate the taboo she had set, she would not come forward to expel the demons? ”

Lin smiled and said, "Just listen to this kind of thing." The taboo you are talking about is an occasion where the elder will definitely come forward. But even if she doesn't violate taboos, she has human likes and dislikes. For those who don't like the eye, won't she look for trouble in private? I don't want to think about how I've been targeted.

"And demons, especially the Lord of the Abyss, do you really think that the Lord of Guardians must have a high-sounding reason to go for trouble? No, he's a demon, and that's good enough. But being able to hold the Lord of Guardian down means that there is a higher force involved. ”

…… Lost will? This is rarely mentioned, and even those who mention it are half-convinced of its existence. But if anyone can control the actions of the Lord of Guardians, it must be the will of the world itself, and it is also the reliance of the Lord of Guardians for infinite support.

However, if this will really exists, and what the mages and World Trees are planning in front of them will help it grow, then it is not impossible for this will to suppress the actions of the Lord of Guardians.

Along these lines, what happens when humanity chooses to go against this will? Ezio didn't dare to imagine it.

While Ezio was distressed, Lin asked about Fassnath. "Your Majesty, you just mentioned that you feel that the original shackles have been loosened. Haven't tried to make the cut? And what about His Majesty Utdrahir? ”

The eight-fruit tree that was named also woke up. The Ancient One Yggtrasil said directly: "It is the same with me. But if you want to cross that threshold, something is missing. What I know for sure is that it's definitely not that we haven't accumulated enough. Connecting the coordinates of an alien plane that other world trees have not set foot in, we have already prepared. But not being able to break through is not being able to break through. ”

After a moment of silence, Lin said, "Well, the only possibility imaginable is that there is still a Guardian missing that door. That is, the whole situation has not yet been completely stabilized. ”

"Yes!" As if grasping at a life-saving straw, Ezio jumped up and shouted, "Guardian, this is it. The other Abyssal Gates have no demons to pass through freely, and according to you, there are Guardians.

"Then we just need to assure the leaders of the human race that after the demons are completely driven out of the Mazeland, even if the door to the abyss is not closed, no demons will be able to pass freely. Such a guarantee cannot be exchanged for the support of human leaders? Are they really all greedy and short-sighted enough to oppose all this, without a single merciful leader? ”

Faced with this problem, Lin Mian has a difficult color. After thinking about it for a while, he still said with a serious understanding: "Let's not consider the question of whether there is such a compassionate person. There is no discussion about whether such a person can influence other selfish leaders and override their opinions, so that the human coalition can agree to the terms of the World Tree. As long as there's one important problem that hasn't been solved, it's not the World Tree, the Elves, or the timing for me to jump out. ”

In response to a certain magician's prevarication, Ezio said dissatisfiedly, "What could be more important than expelling demons?" ”

"How are Guardians created?"

"Guard......," Ezio muttered, his eyes wide, looking at a certain magician in horror. You haven't thought about such a question! ”

Someone spread his hands and said, "In my original plan for the Ninth Power, I only went to support the Gold Coin Goddess Development Bank, so that the users of the coins would be under the majesty of the Goddess. That is, it should have ended twelve years ago. After that, it's just a matter of waiting for things to develop naturally, and when it gets to a certain point, everything falls into place.

"To put it bluntly, the ninth abyssal gate is not in my plans, and I certainly haven't thought about it. If I knew from the beginning, then why didn't I take precautions in advance and directly block the invasion of the demon army. Instead of putting a bunch of demons over like now, everyone is worried about how to solve the headache. ”

With the World Tree's ability to connect to the Lost Leylines, it wasn't too difficult for Lin to detect changes in the terrain or anomalies in power. It's not a very subtle thing to listen to a specific person thousands of miles away.

Grasping the abyssal breath, which is different from the anomaly of the land, is simply a good one. But the latter is difficult to pinpoint one from tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of isomorphic individuals, let alone monitor sounds.

After confirming the fact that the method of creating the Guardian was unknown, Ezio understood why the mages in front of him were reluctant to come forward and negotiate with the noble lords who were at the forefront of the fight against the demon alliance.

The fundamental purpose of the two sides is different. If you want to start with the common point of repelling demons, then how to produce guardians in the future, and after the birth of guardians, can you really block the gate of the abyss and prevent demons from continuing to invade the maze.

In the face of a series of uncertainties, unknowing, and uncertainties, even the most sensible and compassionate leader would not easily agree to such a proposal. For this could put himself and the people he swore to protect in jeopardy, as long as the Guardian is not born, or if the Guardian is not able to perform the functions that everyone wants him to do.

Instead of making a bad start and making it more difficult to cooperate in the future, it is better to keep silent for now. This is not to expect that after the human coalition first hits their heads and breaks the bloodshed, they will obey the threats of the World Tree and the elves. It's just that two things happen to come together, and that's the best thing to do.

Humanity has a human standpoint, and the World Tree also has a World Tree standpoint. There are commonalities between the two, but to reach a consensus, someone has to take a few steps back, and not everyone wants to maximize their own interests.

Suddenly, Ezio was horrified and asked, "What would you do if the human side could solve this abyssal gate?" ”

The eight-fruit tree representing Yggdrasil has no expression; In the cannibalistic dead tree of Fassnath, the dried corpse may be able to make some expressions, but it is not so vivid. Only Lin smiled strangely and asked rhetorically, "Are you worried that we will help the demon's side?" ”

The idea behind the revelation made Ezio even more worried.

However, Lin said: "If we say in a high-profile manner, we will stand by and watch, and if we can't do it, then wait for the next opportunity, probably no one believes it." But the truth is that since records began, the human side has been able to repel demons and close the door to the abyss, all because the door is in its early stages of opening. While demons are accumulating strength, humans are doing the same. But this time it was a door of a different level, especially since even the Abyss Lord had descended. ”

Ezio frowned and said, "You're not optimistic about the human side?" ”

"As far as the virtue of the Sulitan Empire, you will be optimistic about them?" Lin asked rhetorically.
