Chapter 168: Obsolescence and Decay
Hua Wujian and Li Shengnan rode in a carriage and walked along the main road, and finally came to the two tallest buildings in the center of the city that they had seen before. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Contrary to what they imagined, the two did not need to enter a certain building to meet the leader of the Spirit Clan or the Dwarf Clan, but in the square of the two buildings, there were many gorgeously dressed and obviously high-ranking Spirit and Dwarf Clans waiting for them.
Among the Spirit Clan people standing on the right, the Spirit Woman who was clearly at the front should be their leader, or become the Spirit King. The dwarves standing on the left are a dwarf who is nearly twice as thick as the average dwarf, but wearing gorgeous armor, who should be the king of the dwarf race.
"I am the Eldar King, Eluni Jimmy Rosus, and welcome the Terran Emissary. The female spirit clan said to them with a smile on their faces after Hua Manlou and Li Shengnan arrived.
"I am the King of the Dwarves, Sauron Amrov, welcome to the Terran Emissary!" the King of the Dwarves bowed to the two with a solemn face.
"Hua Manlou/Li Shengnan, I've seen the Spirit King, I've seen the Dwarf King!" Hua Manlou and Li Shengnan didn't dare to slack off, and returned a salute at the same time.
"The great god of nature has sent us an oracle, and there will be a new emperor for the Terrans!And the first Terran emissary to come to our 'City of Fearless' will be the emissary of the new generation of Terran emperors!" Eluni looked at Hua Manlou and Li Shengnan, "Dear Terran emissary, I greet you on behalf of the Spirit Race and the Dwarf Race!"
"Great Spirit King, Great Dwarf King, thank you for your grand welcome! I have come for my lord to establish friendship with the Spirit Race and the Dwarf Race, so that the three races can live together in peace and friendship in the future!" Hua Manlou said with a smile.
Although he didn't know the situation of the 'Dreadnought City' very well, he had intuitively discovered that the dwarves were actually half a level or even a level lower than the spirit race, so he deliberately put the dwarves behind when calling them.
The facts confirm the speculation of Hua Manlou!
Neither the spirit clan nor the dwarf clan felt anything wrong, and accepted Hua Manlou's greeting with great satisfaction.
Then, like all the nobles of the human race, it was all kinds of greetings and praises!
Hua Manlou found that compared to the chaos with the Terrans after many years, this kind of diplomatic engagement was more pragmatic and less hypocritical. The nobility of the spirit and dwarf races spent more time in false greetings and meaningless greetings.
After finally dealing with these so-called nobles, the two were sent to a special hotel prepared for them to wait for the dinner party in the evening.
"This is really ......" In the inn, Hua Manlou was quite caught off guard and laughed at the previous situation, he didn't expect that the spirit clan and the dwarf clan who met for the first time would have so many meaningless conversations!
"A rotten and depraved class!" Li Shengnan said sharply.
That's right, decay and depravity!
In contact with the nobles of the Spirit Race and the Dwarf Race, Li Shengnan felt the corruption of the other party from the bones!
After the turmoil of the Zijin Empire three thousand years ago, the so-called traditional aristocracy basically no longer exists! In the past three thousand years, the aristocratic class is represented by the high-level of various forces!
Since they were all born as warriors, in the process of contact between various forces, the hypocrisy and politeness of the traditional aristocracy are less, and there are more pragmatism and quarrels!
Everyone is a rough person, and what they are fighting for is also the interests of reality, there is no need to talk about it with a false head, so every time all parties contact each other, they are very serious and serious conversations, and they must fight for their own interests!
Although Hua Manlou was not sent out alone to contact other forces, he also knew some information from various sources. Before coming to the Spirit Clan and the Dwarf Clan, in order to meet the potentially fierce negotiations, Hua Manlou really put a lot of effort into it!
Even considering that the Spirit Clan and the Dwarf Clan have been closed for many years, Hua Manlou also turned over a lot of ancient books to familiarize himself with various ancient etiquette!
It's just that what he didn't expect was that he used the ancient etiquette, but the hypocrisy and empty talk about the ancient nobles in the book were also exposed!
In the conversation that lasted for nearly an hour, Hua Manlou did not talk about anything substantive with the other party at all.
It's more about how perfect a work of art is, how charming a certain scenery is, how charming a certain sculpture is...... In addition to smiling, Hua Manlou didn't know how to answer.
Not to mention that because he can't see with his eyes, how can he judge any artwork, beauty, and sculpture! Even if he can see it, I'm afraid he can't really say anything!
Gu Yi is a good traverser! But he can copy some classic poems and songs at most, and he really knows six things about art....... Ignorant!
Even if it is plagiarism, Gu Yi can only copy two or three articles, which is more...... There's really nothing I can do!
Based on this situation, it is natural that there are few people under his subordinates who have studied and achieved achievements in these so-called 'arts'!
"The Lord is really right, an overly comfortable life will only make people degenerate and decay! Although the turbulent life is precarious, it can stimulate people's potential and promote the development of the world!" Hua Manlou said with emotion, and then looked at Li Shengnan, "What should we do tomorrow?!"
"It's what you should do!" Li Shengnan glanced at him and said indifferently, "I'm just a deputy envoy, and it's the right thing to visit in this 'Fearless City' tomorrow!"
"Uh......" Hua Manlou touched his nose speechlessly and sighed.
Although Li Shengnan's true identity on this trip is definitely not a role like a 'deputy envoy', he really does not need to participate in the communication with the spirit clan and the dwarf clan.
What's more, Li Shengnan is also responsible for investigating the situation of the 'Dreadnought City' and collecting basic information on the Spirit Race and the Dwarf Race!
It's just that in this way, the days of spending a full building will not be easy!
Think about tomorrow, he has to 'communicate' with a group of elegant spirit noble women and a group of well-dressed dwarf noble men to 'communicate' some things that he is not proficient in at all, how not to give Hua Manlou, who likes to be comfortable and lazy, a headache?!
Besides, don't the history books say that the dwarves are irritable, impulsive, and like to destroy?! Why do they seem so excited and serious when they talk about your 'sculpture'?! Why don't they break things with a hammer?!
All in all, Hua Manlou was very distressed about what he had to face the next day, and at the same time, he was a little amused by the current situation of the Spirit Race and the Dwarf Race!
================================================
"Sauron, what do you think of these two Terran emissaries?!" Eluni asked indifferently as she stood by the window, looking at the bustling crowd in the city below.
"Nice young man!" Sauron still kept his face serious, as if he had never had any other expression, "Although he is obviously not proficient in 'art', he can still maintain a smile and listen, and his endurance and willpower are absolutely extraordinary!"
"What do you think of a young man like a human?" Eluni asked, turning to Sauron.
"I don't know. Sauron lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said, "But I think that since the people who can be sent to us by the Terran Spirit Race will not be inferior in status and strength!"
"I really didn't expect that the Spirit Race and the Dwarf Race would degenerate into this......" Eluni smiled bitterly, "More than 10,000 years of escaping the world have made the thinking of the nobles of the two races stagnate, whether it is production or martial arts, and there are even signs of decline!
"Blessing and misfortune!" Sauron looked at Eluni and said seriously, "Didn't we discuss it before?The Spirit Race and the Dwarf Race are now on the verge of crisis, and if they don't change, they can only be destroyed!"
"Well, when Ares and Didriet hand in the records this time, we will know why we chose this lord!" Sauron nodded and said solemnly, "As for whether this lord is really willing to form an alliance with us, it depends on how big his mind and how bold he is!
"That's right!" Eluni thought for a moment and laughed. "Although Didriet is naughty, she is also a good girl with a clear mind, she must have recognized the strength and ideas of this human lord!"
"Anyway, it's time for us to change!, but Eluni, my Spirit King, are you going to tell the other party the true history?!" Sauron asked with a serious look on his face.
"......," Eluni said after a moment's hesitation, frowning, "If I can hide it, I'm not going to say it!"
"Forgive me for being presumptuous, this is a stupid decision!" Sauron said sternly without hesitation, "How false and untrue the 'history' that has been circulated in the mouths of the Elven and Dwarven civilians is, I don't need to explain them all here!"
"What I'm trying to say is, if we keep it hidden, once that Terran lord learns the truth one day, will we still be able to maintain our alliance?!"
"But if you say it, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to form an alliance!" said Eluni's face changed and he was a little gloomy.
"If it were me, I would rather accept a bad history than accept deception!" Sauron shook his head and further said, "Many tragedies come from misunderstandings, and I don't want to cause greater losses because of misunderstandings in the end!"
"Let me think!" Eluni said, stroking her forehead with her right hand.
"Alright!" Sauron nodded, turning to walk outside, leaving a message as he left, "Think clearly! This will determine the future of our Elves and Dwarves!" )
