Chapter 1610: The Old Emperor's Reaction
The speed of thinking and reaction of ordinary human beings, in front of the bigwigs in the high-seat meeting, is simply an afterthought.
However, the old emperor, who had seen a lot of rare things, did not ask such an empty question as 'what is this?', but had a clear and pointed question. This made the bigwigs look up at him a few times.
The seeds of the World Tree are not rotten street things, you can see them everywhere.
There weren't even the kind of seeds that were left out, because after getting the sense of the World Tree, the Wood Elves would go and recycle them. Unless the source of the induction is blocked by the master in a special way, it is possible to be privately collected.
No one likes to talk to someone who doesn't know anything, or a dumb person. Because that would take too much time on the most basic teaching, and it would be a waste of life.
Sometimes the person who speaks is not necessarily stupid, but they are too lazy to think and just want to be a hand-out-reacher. Everything is done by people and sent to them. In the face of such a person, even if Lin doesn't tear his face, he usually makes the other party touch a soft nail.
But since the old emperor had used his brain, there was such a guess, and Lin certainly did not hesitate to relieve his doubts. Then he said, "That's right, it's the seed of the World Tree." β
"You're going to make a tower?" The old emperor said with a puzzled expression.
From this old man's mouth, Lin suddenly realized that there may still be some gaps in his knowledge of the lost land. At least at first, I didn't think of the Taling thing so quickly, even though I knew the concept too.
Since the other party had a guess, Lin Shun said, "That's right." It's just a being like a tower spirit, but a guardian. Well, I'm talking about this guardian, which is not the same as the guardian of the Abyss Gate that I said earlier. It's a kind of soul born from a purple transformation-level magic stone, I don't know if you've seen it. β
The difference between a tower spirit and a guardian is mentioned because the former may just be a simple answering device that works with some simple actions to drive.
According to the understanding of a certain traversal, the most basic tower spirit cannot even be called a weak artificial intelligence. It's just a device that has a fixed form of ringing to work with the flip of a switch.
A good tower spirit can take on the responsibility of managing a magic tower just like a human. However, this kind of tower spirit usually uses some special methods to sacrifice the soul of a higher Homo sapiens as the core, so that there is corresponding wisdom.
It's just that this kind of tower spirit is too smart, and because they were sacrificed, they achieved the identity of the tower spirit, so they often cause a series of troubles such as rebellion and betrayal. So for a long time, this kind of high-level tower spirit was a taboo for magicians.
The guardians born from the Purple Transformation Grade Magic Stone are not derived from living beings, so they do not carry the emotions of these living beings before they die, including love and hatred. So the reliability ......
Thinking of Lupita's goods, Lin felt that he couldn't discuss the reliability of the Guardians. It's all fucking unreliable!
However, when I said this, I mentioned that this guardian was not another guardian. Lin suddenly had the idea that maybe the relationship between the two guardians was not so distant, and it really just happened to be under the same name.
The names of the guardians such as Edda and Lupita come from the ancient Magic Empire. At that time, it was quite unfamiliar to today's maze, and Lin certainly had no way of researching how those 'guardians' were studied and manufactured.
And it's clear that there will be a sense of Guardian being born, something that those who designed and made it knew from the beginning. It didn't come out of nowhere in a long period of time, and then everyone was nervous enough to accept the fact that it was very nervous.
Although there are records of that era in the Great Library, they are quite scarce. Naturally, there is no way to verify it.
The main reason is that the record carriers of that era were not paper documents, or similar materials that were easy to carry and move. Rather, they are stone monuments, frescoes, or secret carvings, which are not part of the business of the Great Library.
The guardian who belongs to the Abyss Gate is the first guardian Lin saw, that is, the Demon Moth King in the Cat Forest called himself Jie'an Mouss.
The origin of this type of guardian is very mysterious, and not only is there no record, but even rumors of barnyard official history have no relevant content. It's as if these guardians are of the sun, moon and stars, and have had them since the beginning of the earth.
The Ancients can still find the source, at least they know where they came from, but the guardians of the Abyss Gate have no claims related to the source. But that's the case in modern maze. In the ancient days of the Magic Empire, there was no record of it?
Will there be a record on the floating island? After all, those five islands have been isolated from the world for a long time, and they have a heritage of ancient times, so it is not surprising that there are records of them.
If it had been before, Lin hadn't had a complete idea of the guardians of the Abyss Gate. He might follow this path and see if he can find a way to establish a Guardian.
Anyway, he is already familiar with the matter of infiltrating the floating island, as long as he finds a way to avoid the induction of the guardians on the island. Along the way, look for four other floating islands of unknown whereabouts, and if there is no one on any of them, it will be an ancient heritage for nothing.
People are like Indiana Jones possessed, part-time gold captains, going everywhere for 'archaeology'. And his own fat house crossing, it's like having a phobia of ancient ruins, and this kind of beautiful thing has not been done a few times. What about this time?
It's just that now the twin towers of the door are also linked to their own interests. The idea of finding his way back to his hometown by relying on the Twin Towers has been lingering in his mind since he knew that he had to build a magic tower to solve the problem of the guardian of the Abyss Gate.
Today, unless it can be proven that the plan of the Twin Towers of the Gate is not feasible, and he must find another way to establish or replace the guardian of the Abyss Gate, Lin may find another way. Otherwise, he will inevitably go all the way to the end, without hitting the south wall and not looking back.
Hit the south wall...... It is estimated that he will also play stupid, get what he wants, and then think of other solutions.
Someone's chaotic and cumbersome thoughts certainly don't affect other people's thoughts. In fact, after the old emperor received confirmation from the magician, and had also witnessed the statements of the World Tree avatars, he knew that there was no room for discussion in this matter.
In other words, even if there is room for discussion, it is not something that a 'human being' of his level is qualified to mention.
Again, it's not for nothing that the aristocracy doesn't like to face the gods.
However, even if you can't get your hands on those two magic towers, you can openly install your own people around it, which is still an improvement. At least his own request was not explicitly opposed.
You can't be in charge of those two towers, and you must completely control the communication between the two sides of the Abyss Gate, at least you must have the manpower to monitor it. This is what the old emperor thought.
Not to mention the existence of the World Tree and its existence, I am afraid that after the human race takes control of the abyssal gate, it will use the self-destruction of the twin towers or the closure of the abyss gate as a threat at any time to intimidate those high beings to follow the instructions of the human race.
The human side is also afraid of these beings, and threatens the human world by opening the door wide and letting the demon army enter the land.
Looking at the situation in front of you, you can see that the demonic threat is not so easy to deal with. The Gwana Empire was well prepared to face the demons, rather than being caught off guard like the Sulitan Empire.
But the Abyss Demon has become a big trend, and with half of the Airship Legion of the Hedel Empire, one and a half imperial strength alone is not enough to solve the crisis. It may be necessary to take out the foundation of the empire, gather more and more powerful forces, and sacrifice at any cost to solve this big problem.
Therefore, I asked to leave an eye on the door of the abyss, hoping that I could react to the crisis at the beginning of the crisis in the future and solve the problem quickly. Instead of letting the devil sit big in ignorance and make a mess of the good situation.
After thinking that there was no room for negotiation in this matter, the old emperor did not give up his intention to continue shouting, and said: "Since it is not handed over to the enemies of the empire, then I can still accept it." Then my second condition isβ"
Lin frowned slightly, showing impatience. But he did not rudely interrupt the old emperor's speech, but listened quietly.
Since you have said that you have the ability to solve demonic problems in a short period of time, please show it. Humanity has shed too much blood. Even if we are willing to provide the materials for the construction of the magic tower, if we want to deliver it to our destination, we must avoid being disturbed by the enemy. β
It seems to be normal, and it is full of compassion - for human beings - The remarks are actually heard by Lin, and there are several layers of intentions behind them.
The first thing is to test whether someone's previous big words are the truth or bragging. Being able to deal with an Imperial Grand Duke does not mean that you can also deal with the Abyss Demon and the nobles of the Lost Land at the same time in one day.
So the old emperor had to make a temptation. If a mage doesn't even have the strength to solve demonic problems in a day, it's hard to believe that he has the ability to threaten the nobles of the all-lost land.
At that time, it is estimated that no matter how much I promise now, it will be in vain. At that time, even if the empire does not turn around and deny the account, it will drag things out, and it will drag on for as long as it can.
The second point is to consume the opportunity of a certain magician to use the machine. With the current earth elemental plane reconnecting with the maze, the mechman also echoes the summons of ordinary mages from time to time. Lin could believe that the information about what he was doing in the elemental plane had already been revealed by the machine man.
First, they did not restrict them from revealing their own information; Secondly, whether it is the previous elemental elves or the current robots, their personalities are still the same as always, and they have not changed. In short, as long as the remuneration is in place, everyone is a big mouth, and sewing will not help.
Therefore, Lin believes that the information that he can command the machine man is limited to the number of times should be known by many people. Wasting these times is tantamount to abolishing one of your own deterrents, which should also be the goal of these powerful people.
The old emperor's last consideration was probably what he said, that mankind had already shed too much blood, and he did not want to see more sacrifices.
Not to mention that all the regular legions of the Gwana Empire are now at the forefront, and more than seventy percent of the private armies of the imperial nobles are on the battlefield. If the human alliance against the abyss were to be destroyed, the Gwana Empire would be the hardest injured.
So he had to find a way to avoid such an ending.
However, even if a certain magician knows about all this, it is difficult to refuse. Because this is an upright conspiracy, and if you are unwilling to cooperate, then the insincere one will become the World Tree side headed by Lin.
