25. Three months (Thursday)

For the elves to fall into a labor acquisition frenzy, Li Lin undoubtedly has an unshirkable responsibility. His successes in the commercial sphere - the crackdown on uneducated peers, the bribery of clergy and sellers, the spread of rumours to intimidate rival workers, the deliberate demotion of prices to disrupt the market order, and the attempt to monopolize the cotton spinning industry in the Agen Torathon region - unscrupulous victories, boldness, aggressiveness, exemplary examples. It's not surprising at all that the elves try to imitate.

Something needs to be found to distract the elves from their excess energy, otherwise the brains that have already germinated the capitalist mentality, that is, the kind of thinking that has blood and filth in every pore, will sooner or later be unable to resist the overly strong impulse to urge them to carry out some plan to kidnap and kidnap humans to fill the labor gap. And the resources at this stage are completely unable to offset the troubles caused by such behavior.

This must be done as best as possible, and at the same time, the work must not be delayed, and it is better to obtain other benefits.

"There is a new undertaking ready to enter the implementation phase, and Mr. Saad's cooperation is an indispensable part of it. ”

Li Lin's announcement of THAAD is as if THAAD is indeed indispensable.

"It scares me to get your attention. ”

The politeness on the surface could not hide the overly calm feelings, Sade knew very well that he was in the thin region of Mana, and after arriving in Niforheim, he and another earth magician, Dieri, were responsible for making all kinds of chemicals, fertilizers, making holes in the veins of definite locations, planting explosives, lighting fuses, and doing nothing else.

Who believes that a guy who just fiddles with bottles and cans and makes a spark to light the fuse is essential?

"Leave excuses or testimonials to me after I have finished speaking, as I know that it does not seem to be part of aristocratic etiquette to interrupt people casually. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

- Smelting. ”

Indifferently taking the core outline of the plan out of his lips, Li Lin casually raised the teacup and blew away the tea foam suspended on the surface.

"[In order to obtain the steel that meets the needs, Alphonse de Sade's knowledge of fire magic is indispensable] - this is my judgment. ”

"You want to arm the elves ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Too surprised, unable to suppress the urge to shout out his thoughts, a slight tingling in his throat came from his throat before he came back to his senses and realized his gaffe and regretted it.

"Watch what you say, boy. ”

The sinister gaze and whisper wrapped around Thad like a snake, and with a little more strength on the dragon's claws gently touching his skin, the mage would instantly become a cold dead man.

Nidhogg used words and actions to warn Sade that if he was presumptuous, the irascible black dragon would not give any warning and act directly, now...... It seems that it will do the same.

"It's okay, Nidhogg. Let Mr. Sade finish, and I will allow the voices to be heard. ”

The voice of stopping the further expansion of the killing intent interjected, and Sade drained his body and was pushed back into his chair, and the child with a cold expression regained his trained and solemn steps back behind the black-haired boy's back, standing silently like a statue with his hands behind his back.

Waiting for Nidhogg to return to his position, Li Lin continued to speak:

"Three months of spending time together should give you a considerable understanding of what I have done and what is happening in this valley, and you should have thought and prepared for it at this point, but it is too late to be surprised. ”

"But...... You should also know what it means to arm an elf. ”

Thade, who was out of the shadow of death, tried his best to control the ups and downs of his strong feelings, suppressing his anxiety and fear faster than usual. ...,

"Are you going to declare war on all human nations?"

A more direct and rude question than just now.

The questioner was no longer shocked, and the black dragon, who had issued a death warning, looked at the frightened humans with disdain, and sneered at the shallow, narrow-minded magician.

"This little drama of destroying miΓ¨ human beings is too old-fashioned, not even a spare time, extremely boring. ”

Ruthlessly, completely overwhelmed the house. Even Sade's thoughts were engulfed in a fierce and heavy sound.

"Humans, orcs, dwarves, and gnomes, if they dare to get in the way, they will all be swept away. The sky, the earth, the seaβ€”all the world's aspects are mastered, giving the world a new order and form. ”

Exhale, the target and the breath of nothingness exhale together.

The thin lips were bright red as if they were about to drip blood, and the same bright red pupils shone with a cold light.

That's really ...... Went crazy.

Overwhelm the madness of a qiΔ“. There is no more representative of the ambition expressed by Li Lin than this description.

Put yourself in a shrine and look at all living things. The fiery tone of the ideal world, like tinkering with a garden or trimming a bonsai, is like a whisper of grinding the sideburns, which is enough to make the saint abandon his virtuous virtue and commit all kinds of bad karma for this luscious temptation.

On the other hand, the boy who made the crazy declaration looked at the world and himself with extreme rationality and wisdom, without heat or paranoia about a certain point of view, purely observing, and skillfully making adjustments, so that the career could develop steadily and quickly along the trajectory of long-term development, and the clear and calm thinking made the magician who looked up at the red pupil shudder.

Crazy, sane.

The two extremes of equal weight are staggered and mixed in one place, extremely distorted, and at the same time highly harmonious.

Possess such a transcendent quality of being a qiΔ“ in the world.

The wise people who have faith are amazed and eulogized.

The fearful, the reverent, the yearning, the fearful are called.

God.

God.

God.

An understatement can make people give up resistance, and the power of the release makes the magician with a weak heart almost want to prostrate on the ground and kiss the vamps lightly, and feel the joy of touching the miracle of this world from the bottom of his heart, and shed tears for this joy.

Only the gods can do that, only the gods can look down on all beings, and only the gods can bring the disobedient to their knees.

The cold, arrogant, and merciless gods are at hand, and those who rebel against the gods will be crushed mercilessly.

Swallow saliva to cool and lubricate the burning and stinging throat, and the tip of the tongue licks through the parched lips to make a stiff trill.

"But changing the existing world ......"

"The use of force is inevitable in the process of change. But there will never be an extreme situation, and there is no inevitable connection between "changing the world" and "making enemies of the whole world". ”

Behind the teasing voice, a vague image of the data flashed. Maybe it's the middle two patients who say "it's not me who is wrong, it's the world that is wrong", or the angry young corporal who is hysterically shouting to millions of listeners to seize living space. It's all about the howling losers.

"The world itself has a mechanism for adjustment, and the rational use of political skills is much more effective than relying on force to kill. The use of force to solve problems has always been the last resort. Conversely, adequate force is also indispensable. After all, strategy is also formulated on the basis of strength. ”...,

"But ......"

"Mr. Sade, a former nobleman Alphonse de Sade. Are you satisfied with the current system, with the world now?"

The struggle for prevarication before he could say it was cut in two, and the sharp words forced him up.

"Are you going to be raised to death like this?"

The aura of mockery swelled and spread, looking at the speechless magician from different angles.

############

"Your Excellency, can that guy be trusted?"

"Ah, let's use it. ”

Subtle differences, but the answer is already clear.

The cold tea was poured into the spittoon, and the snacks and tea set were packed up after Sade left. The little breath of life that was finally created is gone again. The attentive Nidhogg quickly placed a black lily in the corner of the desk, and a few simple and elegant scents added a little more coordination to the room.

"His subordinates will keep an eye on his actions. ”

What is trusted must be available, and what is available may not be trustworthy - the black dragon knows this.

The face of the child who was about to go out to perform the work flashed with a look of wanting to speak and stop, and the teacup in Li Lin's hand returned to the plate, knocking out a crisp dull sound, and indifferent words expressed Nidhogg's question:

"The last words make you wonder, don't they?"

β€œ...... The subordinates were terrified. ”

"He was a human being, once an aristocratic class. Whether from a racial or class standpoint, the magician does not seem to have a reason or obligation to assist us. At first glance, this invitation is a useless act. ”

His lips furrowed again, and an elegant, heretical, sinister smile appeared on his face.

"It's just that Mr. Sade has some bills that need to be settled, long bills that have accumulated over a long period of time in the past and recently. This move will inevitably lead to a conflict with the current institutional structure of human society, and it would be a pity not to use it. ”

"Then this is ...... with [θ±’ε…»]"

"Think about how Mr. Sade bumped into us. Why did he find an inconspicuous convoy? Who was the intruder in the later stages of the conflict? On a smuggling route that had long been recognized as safe by the industry, he ran into an old tax collector with heavily armed soldiers and an extremely bad relationship? This fatalistic script was so clumsy that it could not be linked to the argument of "the inevitable result of a series of accidental leads". It can only be said that the person who wrote the script was really a megalomaniac aristocrat who was so self-righteous that he took all the others for fools. ”

Like a critical script critic, Li Lin's comments are full of caustic mockery, and his ruthless smile gives the screenwriter he hasn't met an ugly minimum score.

Small theater

Nidhogg: Butler or something, it's good! The butler dragon is more cute than the humanoid Gundam!

Li Lin: I won't say much about the cuteness, when it comes to masculinity......

Nidhogg: What's wrong? Master?

Li Lin: What a smell of sweat...... You haven't taken a shower in a few days?

Nidhogg: T-T......
