Chapter 469: Muddy the Waters
"Humans are very short-sighted without the guidance of the gods of the race, but it also has the advantage that only those who have seen it with their own eyes, heard it with their own ears, and touched it with their own hands will consider it to be true. Evan met the gazes of the various sages and said, "Just now the Dwarven King mentioned that all races should work together to occupy and share the resources of the earth. Distributing according to the proportion of the population seems to be the most suitable for us human beings. But I know that even a hundred blind people can hardly defeat a sighted knight. In the current situation, I have to doubt those things that I have not personally experienced, and I dare not take them as facts. After all, I'm not a god, I'm just a king, and although I'm good at swordsmanship, I don't know any magic. I pride myself on being just, loving, and merciful, but I am inferior to my brother in these three respects, and this has taught me one thing: I must be humble. ”
The Elven King smiled, ran his slender fingertips through his shiny hair, and then propped his pointed chin onto his pointed chin: "Your Majesty the Star King, your virtues are admirable. Since you still need time to make a decision, how about we wait patiently for a few days?"
Putting all the reasons for the adjournment on Evan?Siegel stood up and walked in front of the group. Slowly, one by one, he looked over the Sage's face, and then took a deep breath.
"War is always a matter of life and death, and it is easy to be careless. I now finally understand why the elves failed in the New World, and the dwarves failed at the top of Mora. The decision to start a war was not a living creature at all, it was nothing more than a creation of divine power. To put it bluntly, it's no different from the skeletons, golems, and lamp gods that our mages make. Although the sages have intelligence and strength, none of them know what life is and what death is. My Ph.D. teacher taught me. Between life and death, there is great terror and great wisdom. You don't know what horror is. There is no wisdom in it. I can't think of a better way to lose the war!"
Siegel made an impassioned statement. Evan stood beside him, nodding approvingly. The current situation is clear that the gods are really going to great lengths to expand their territory and faith. A crystal wall without gods, if it is occupied, how many believers can be added, I am afraid that every god will calculate. Humanity has the largest army in the world, and the Kingdom of Stars is a pivotal part of it. That's why all races want to pull the Star Kingdom into the water.
Evan is not worried about war. There are also frequent battles between the lords within the Star Kingdom, not to mention the constant conflict between humans and orcs, sandmen, winged people, and fish-people on different fronts. Having one more goblin as an enemy doesn't make Evan feel intimidated. It was the attitudes of the major races that worried him the most. Until now. None of them have revealed the true cause of this goblin war, and they have deliberately concealed the fact that the Wall of Storms is the Storm of Destruction, or have always ignored it. Such an ally is worrying, so Evan can't make a decision.
He unsheathed his sword and threw it on the table, the clanging of the campfire that could be heard clearly in the room. "I'm tired and need to rest, so let's have a meeting first!" he stood up and said, "Sages, please continue, maybe you think that this battle will not use the brains of mortals." So the decision was made for us. In that case, just let me know if something happens. ”
He got up and left the venue. He was followed by the High Priest of the Temple of Dawn and Siegel. William was still talking and laughing with the dragon, and the rhythm of the two of them didn't seem to have anything to do with the meeting. The Dwarven King looked at the sword that Evan had dropped on the table, not knowing what it meant. He set his eyes on the Dwarven Sage, only to see that the seat where the Sage had been seated was empty.
Not only the Dwarven Sages, but also the Sages of other races have already left. The people left behind looked at each other twice and felt that there was nothing to say, so the scene became a little silent and awkward. Only the laughter of William and the dragon kept coming from the corner, whipping the dwarven king's cheek.
"Adjourn the meeting, we all need to take a break. Dwarf Stone said.
Siegel followed Evan to the deck, and the sea breeze made them all feel better. The remaining ships of the royal fleet, seeing the king appear, blew their horns loudly and waved their flags in their greetings to him.
"Lord Aurora, will we please leave us alone for a while?" said Evan.
After the High Priest left, Evan asked Siegel, "Good brother, tell me the truth." The Kingdom of Stars and the Goblins, who will win?"
"The Kingdom of the Stars can never achieve victory on its own, and the dwarves at the Top of Mora have proven it. Siegel said bluntly: "The dwarves have their own sages, and they consume a lot of divine power to block the passage of the crystal wall. Who does the Star Kingdom rely on when the time comes, the Mage Association is still those allies with other thoughts. Evan, I think that once this is involved, it will be difficult to control the development of the situation, and it will be like a whirlpool that drags the stars deeper and deeper. ”
"So, should I get out of here now, or should I not be a part of it?" Evan shook his head again, rejecting the idea. "As things stand, humanity is going to be involved in this anyway. I may not be able to control the course of events, but the more serious consequences of evading are obviously the loss of victory. ”
"I don't know. Siegel shook his head, "If I can organize a campaign, or develop a spell, I can still plan and follow the steps, but the kind of thing that's happening in the conference room isn't my specialty." I only have one piece of advice, Evan, and that is that you need to have the power of a dwarf to block the crystal wall and end the battle. Then you can fight with confidence. ”
"Need to have the ability to get out of it?" Evan nodded, "It's like in swordsmanship, it's better to hurt your arms than save your legs." If you can't fight, you can't escape, right? Or maybe the knight is in charge and the lord is in charge of retreating?"
"Probably about the same. We mages also have a saying that the last spell of all mages is used to get out. ”
"Haha, I probably have an idea!" Evan blinked slyly, then paced the boat with his hands behind his back.
By the time the meeting reconvened, Evan had already made up his mind. He was no longer obsessed with whether or not the human kingdom would participate in joint operations, but kept making demands: dwarven weapons and armor. Elven magic equipment. For other races. He demanded an end to the harassment of the borders of the Starry Kingdom. Otherwise, it will be regarded as affecting the conclusion of this alliance. The sandmen, the fishmen, and Naga finally began to express their objections. They claim that humans interfere with the activities of their own race and that they are weak people who fight for survival.
So the meeting finally had an argument. This is a scene that human beings are good at dealing with! A scene like the kind of scene where the gods directly intervene and can only answer "yes" or "die" cannot be called a meeting at all. Evan looked at everyone with a smile on the red face, and then took out the posture of dealing with the lord's meeting, and dismantled left and right. The meeting will continue to be delayed.
Siegel lasted one day, and the next day he couldn't stand the atmosphere. In such a complicated situation, he couldn't pass the time with meditation, so he had to practice magic on a small scale at the venue. After mastering the power of the four elements, he set his sights on the power of time and space. Just as he practiced spell manipulation by nurturing flames in his palms as an apprentice, he now uses a similar method to form a distorted space-time field in his palms.
It's a lot more threatening than the flames bring to others. The more perceptive the creature, the more terrified it was by the power in Siegel's hands. He can become a "king" of all races, or he is a leader in martial arts or magic. So every time there was a change in the space-time field in Siegel's hands, they could feel it immediately. The dwarf king Sidong nervously touched the war hammer on his waist several times. The Elven King's hair was also torn off by himself.
The golden dragon watched it all with interest, though his scales stood up many times because he felt threatened. But he prefers to see the other people startled. "William, is that partner of yours deliberately using this method to balance the sage's deterrence? It's really convenient to use this method! It's a pity that I can't use Long Wei indiscriminately, otherwise I really want to deliberately scare them and admire the way these people are!"
William observed for a moment, then said, "He's not deliberately scaring people, but he's really practicing magic." Anyway, don't you dragons really help? The Federation doesn't have high-level spell scrolls, so you can only explore it yourself like him. ”
The golden dragon crooked his mouth and snorted: "I've said it many times, no dragon will help the Mage Federation." ”
"Think about it again, I'll give you an idea. William persevered: "The Mage Association is unwilling to give us spell materials, coupled with the previous incident of the Three Peaks Tower, the relationship between the Federation and the Association is very poor. The relationship between your dragon clan and the Mage Association is not very good, why can't we join forces?"
"Needless to say, you mages don't have a good thing!"
"Don't be so sure. William said, "Our Siegel Archmage has a high level of understanding, and you can see that he has touched the edge of the power of time and space through his own efforts. His only teacher taught for five days when he first learned fireball, and the rest of the road was on his own. I think it's only a matter of time before he masters the power of time and space, and even if he creates the Dragon Binding Charm, I don't know!"
At the mention of the Dragon Binding Spell, the golden dragon narrowed his eyes, and a snake-like sound came out between his clenched teeth. "Do you want to break the agreement and bring about the destruction of human lives?"
"It was the Mage Guild that signed the agreement, and we are not recognized or managed by them now. And let's make it clear, the Federation can't see a high-level spell at all, let alone a dragon-binding spell. So even if we made the Dragon Binding Charm, we didn't know it was the Dragon Binding Charm, so you can't blame us. William took a sip of the red wine glass in front of him before saying, "I think the Federation and the Dragon Clan should immediately start negotiations on this matter and sign an agreement as soon as possible." In this way, peace and tranquility can be guaranteed. ”
"And then you're going to ask for a part of the benefits of this agreement?" the golden dragon snorted coldly.
"Exchange of benefits. William corrected his wording: "What we lack now is the avenue of communication and exchange. ”
The golden dragon shook his head, with a disdainful expression on his face: "Inventing the Dragon Binding Charm, do you think it will be easy? There are only two small groups of archmages, and even William, you are not really archmages in other aspects except in the transformation realm. With such a little power and still want to study the Dragon Binding Spell, I think you're bluffing me!"
"How about the Mir Core? Compared to the Dragon Binding Spell, this is the real difficulty, right? He managed the Mir Core alone. William pointed at Siegel: "I'll tell you a secret again." The Void's Nakuth clan has been struggling lately because of the addition of a new spell to the multiverse that can break their plasma weapons. The spell is called Plasma Virus Three, but what you don't know is that the basis of this spell, that is, Plasma Virus One, was actually created by Siegel and spread by the Mage Guild. Do you still find the Dragon Binding Charm difficult?"
Jin Long didn't shake his head this time, but pinched his chin and began to think. (To be continued.) )
