Chapter 1044 Ogre's High Mountain

In the western part of the Loren continent, the peak of the ancestors towers above the ground.

This lofty mountain stands in the hinterland of the Ogure Tribal Nation like a giant beast glaring at the sky. Its three branches extend to the territories of orcs, humans and grey elves respectively, and its majestic mountain itself is the homeland of the elves and elves for generations to live-for everyone who lives on this land, this A high mountain has a very special meaning. Therefore, when the city-states of the Ogure Tribal Nation decided to become a union, they invariably chose to build their common capital at the foot of the Ancestral Peak: the Helm. city.

In the Ogure tribal country, the five main races usually manage internal affairs independently, and several cities that coexist with multiple races operate like independent city-states, but if there is a major event involving the entire tribal country, the "five kings" They will gather in Helm City to discuss the future of this land together.

In the center of Helm City, in the highest dome hall in the city, the leaders of humans, gray elves, Eldar, goblins and orcs are gathered around a round table, discussing several important matters, the leader of gray elves Wenna · Bai Zhi is among them, but at this moment, she is a little wandering. Her gaze passed over Ms. Camilla, the particularly tall orc leader who was sitting opposite her, over the open terrace at the end of the hall, and down to the Ancestral Peak in the background of the city—the mountain high above the ground. Standing next to the Holy Helm City, at this moment there is a pale golden sunset shining on its surface, and the whole mountain is facing the sunset, looking brilliant.

Wen Na just sat on the special high chair for a long time, until Wycliffe, who was sitting next to her, called her back from her wandering state: "Wen Na, Wen Na— - Don't be in a daze."

The gray elf patriarch woke up suddenly, and first subconsciously glanced at the human leader who had just woken him up next to him—this middle-aged man with short silver hair always had a smile on his face, and this time was no exception. ——Then she looked at the other positions around the round table.

The tall lady Camilla with feline features was sitting opposite, and she frowned in dissatisfaction; the Eldar leader Stoll sat next to Camilla, the man with pale blue skin." Man” always had a contemplative expression on his face, and it was difficult for outsiders to understand his current emotions; opposite Stall was the leader of the goblin, Stella, a small lady sitting in her favorite high-back chair, The high chair rests on a stack of books, the books rest on a small bench, and the small bench rests on the table—a large stack that makes her the tallest person in the scene, but it doesn't add to her majesty in the least.

"Ah—" Wen Na finally came back to her senses, she blinked, "It's my turn to speak? Where are we discussing?"

"Wenna, it's not a good habit to be distracted at important meetings," Camilla sighed, with a nice hoarse quality in her voice. As a childhood friend and a bold orc, she never minds it. Criticizing Wenna Baizhi's shortcomings in a formal and private situation, "What we are discussing concerns the future of the entire tribal country.

"

"Of course, of course, I know - I just don't think this matter needs to be discussed for so long," Wenna nodded again and again, "about the 'invitation' from Emperor Cecil - we have no reason to refuse "The benefits of joining this new alliance outweigh the risks, both politically and economically..."

"We've actually agreed on this just now--while you're distracted by the scenery," Wycliffe said with a smile on his face, "We're discussing something else, according to Emperor Cecil. On the idea mentioned in the letter, Stella just made a very constructive suggestion..."

Wenna's eyes widened suddenly, she looked in Stella's direction subconsciously, and saw that the lady with the big slap was standing on the stack of books she used as the "royal seat", showing a very proud expression on her waist. The appearance made her suddenly feel bad: "Stella's opinion? And are you still discussing it seriously?"

"Wenna, there is prejudice in your words," Stuer said, with a mysterious slowness in his tone, "You should listen to the content of this 'opinion' first."

"Okay, I'm listening," Wenna looked at Stull, "What exactly?"

"The Ogre Tribe has a completely different order from other countries. All countries in the continent know that we are ruled by five kings," Stull said in a low voice, "So Stella suggested that we send five representatives there according to the five 'royal families'. A silver outpost, just tell Emperor Cecil that the political structure of the Ogure Tribe is so loose - if it works, we'll have five votes in the future."

Although she had already guessed what this "constructive opinion" was about, what Stoll said was still beyond Wenna's imagination. She couldn't help but look at Stella with admiration, and then looked at Stella strangely. To others: "...so what's your opinion?"

"We've already voted, and we're waiting for your opinion," Wycliffe said. "I personally find the proposal very appealing, but my sanity doesn't allow me to do things according to my liking, so I voted against it. "

"I also object," Stull shook his head. "This is nonsense, and even damages the face and prestige of the Tribal State."

Camilla waved her hand: "I didn't think about it that much, I just thought it was too stupid, so I objected."

"That's okay," Wen Na spread her hands, "I also object - the reason is the sum of the three of you."

Then she looked in Stella's direction: "Okay, everyone except you is against it, we can move on to the next topic."

Stella suddenly returned to her chair in frustration, and seemed to mumble a few words by the way, but the people on the scene were not surprised by this, and they believed that this optimistic goblin leader would cheer up before the next topic began. .

"Let's finally discuss the 'Magic Web Nexus'," Wycliffe glanced at the meeting schedule in his hand, and his eyes fell on Stull, Camilla, and Stella, "First of all, I am very I'm glad we finally reached a consensus last month and passed the plan to build the main hub of the magic web at the peak of the ancestors, and now we have successfully set up a temporary verification device, but as of last week, this device has been... some problems."

"It's a big problem," Stella really cheered up, she stood up and let out a hurried and clear voice, "The magic obelisk used for testing is still working normally at the foot of the mountain, but as long as it is transported to the top of the mountain , the interference immediately increased - magic transmission is not a problem, but the signal is full of clutter. Our scholars have been studying for several days, and the current conclusion is that the interference is from the outside world, and the structure or failure of the obelisk itself It doesn't matter..."

"Superstitious mountain people think it's the sleeping souls in the Ancestor's Peak who are making noise in the crystal of the obelisk, because the obelisk disturbs their sleep," Stull said in a deep voice, "so now, apart from technical means In addition to solving the problem at the top, we are still devoting our energy to appease the unease of the mountain people."

"Actually, I had a good idea before," Stella waved her arms. "We just said that the obelisk of magic energy can communicate with the spirits of the ancestors. After this thing is built, it can be used to chat with the ancestors. , maybe the mountain people will support it... in the end, all of you are still against it."

Wenna Baizhi couldn't help sighing, while Wycliffe covered his forehead and muttered: "Every time Stella's opinion is so damn attractive... Voting against is a challenge... …”

"I feel the same," Wenna glanced at Wycliffe, then back to Stella, "Anyway, let's find a way to solve those disturbances first. In order to start the project on Ancestral Peak, we A lot of costs have been invested in advance, and this matter will definitely be pushed forward. In theory, the Ancestral Peak has the best innate conditions in the country: high enough altitude, clear atmosphere, and stable magical environment. No matter how you look at it, there should be no This kind of interference occurs... This phenomenon deserves further study."

"Of course, of course, we'll do it," Stella said quickly, "and we'll do a good job of researching—but maybe nothing. I'll have scholars this week collecting the mountainside and other If there is no clue about the interference data on the top of the mountain, we may have to ask Cecil's technical experts for help."

This time, Lady Fairy's opinion finally got everyone's support...

...

The meeting was over, and the tribal leaders began to leave.

A gigantic golem walked into the hall with heavy steps. It used its nimble arms to support the small stool on the round table. Stella sat lightly next to the golem's neck after a few jumps. A few people waved their hands and quickly directed the golem to leave the hall, while Camilla couldn't help shaking her head looking at the heavy back of the golem: "We should really forbid her to bring the golem to the council hall... The ground here is repaired every year."

After saying this, the orc leader said goodbye to Wenna, shook his head and left, and then left was the leader of the Eldar Race - after most of the followers also evacuated, the huge council hall Only Wenna Baizhi and the human leader Wycliffe were left.

Wenna moved her shoulders and necks, which were a little stiff from sitting for a long time. She turned to support the small ladder next to the high chair, and went down to the ground along the ladder. She looked up at the tall Wycliffe, curiously. He asked, "Aren't you going?"

With a slight smile, the silver-haired Wycliffe walked to the nearby balcony unhurriedly, looking at the direction of the city and the mountains: "I have such a rare moment of leisure, I have to prolong my time away from documents as long as possible. click."

Wenna pouted and walked to the balcony. She followed Wycliffe's line of sight and looked into the distance. She saw that the ancient city of Helm was bathed in the twilight light, and the peak of the ancestors in the distance reflected orange-red Light, she is not unfamiliar with this scene - in the past few years as the leader of the gray elves, she has often come to the council hall of the Holy Helm City, and she has seen similar scenery many times.

"It's a magnificent city," she couldn't help whispering. "A new era is here... I wonder if the scenery here will change, just like Windsong City or White Feather Harbor."

"Nothing is set in stone," Wycliffe said with a smile. "Helm City is regarded by many as a symbol of antiquity and tradition, but if you go back in history, isn't it the product of a revolution in itself?"

Wenna Baizhi blinked and suddenly couldn't help laughing: "That's right."

As one of the rulers of this land, she certainly knows the origin of Helm's City:

This great city, situated at the foot of the Ancestor's Peak and governed by the Council of Five Kings, is stylistically unique throughout the continent: the buildings have the rigid straight lines and lines of ancient Gondor. The majestic appearance, at the same time, has the heavy and practical demeanor of the distant western dwarf country. Although this land should be the home of the four races of gray elves, orcs, elf and goblins in history, this city is a blend of The style of the ancient Gondor Empire and the Dwarven Kingdom, this unique point is naturally related to the history of Helm City——

Helm City was built more than 700 years ago, when the ancient Gondor Empire collapsed and the remnants fled. Among them, the pioneers who moved to the western part of the mainland crossed the rift valleys and mountains on the border of the ancient empire and stepped into August. The ancient and mysterious land of Ray. At that time, several major races on this land had not yet formed the "tribal state" in the future, but existed loosely in the form of tribal alliances. Humans who suddenly migrated from the human empire to this land were a shock to the aborigines in this land. A very shocking incident, after some contact and mediation, the aborigines here finally decided to accept these refugees from the Gondor Empire, and the latter also chose to repay this kindness in their own way.

In addition to some knowledge from the Gondor Empire (the part that is still available after the magic tide) and treasure, the biggest reward for the aboriginals of the westward pioneers is this "Helmet City".

They spent all the money they carried on their exile journey, gave play to the knowledge of architecture and planning from the Gondor Empire, which was far more advanced than the locals, and used an ancient contract from the Gondor period to invite dwarf craftsmen from the western part of the continent. It took ten years before and after. The city was built at the foot of the Ancestor's Peak, and then he only occupied one-fifth of the city, and gave four-fifths of the city to the other four tribes.

At the same time, the new knowledge and new ideas brought by the people of Gondor are also an important reason for the various tribes on the land of Ogure to change their traditional patterns and establish a more closely related "tribal state".

Hence Wycliffe's words: Helms itself is the product of a revolution.

Wenna Baizhi suddenly sighed, and couldn't help feeling a little bit in her heart:

More than 700 years ago, when there was no human activity on this land, the Ancestral Peak already existed as a "holy land" for the four tribes. This land has its own traditions and customs for thousands of years. It was not until the Gondor Empire was destroyed by a magical tide that the remnants of the empire came here across the vast wasteland, and the young and creative humans brought earth-shaking changes here.

No matter what the ancestors who faced the changes at that time thought about it, as a descendant, only from a historical point of view, Wenna must admit that it is these changes that have shaped the present, which is far stronger and more united than in the past. nation.

Today, new changes knocked on the gates of the Ogure Mountains again - this time, the changes were still brought by humans.

Human ingenuity...it's incredible.
