Chapter 1,371 Differences in Roads
Is there anything that the person who asked the question would regret more if he knew it than the person who was forced to say it? Alonso believes that what he just heard is.
Hidden behind the Gold Coin Goddess are the World Trees of the High Council, which is not news to a certain group of 'discerning people'. However, there are various speculations about their conspiracy.
Even the female doll Keno couldn't guess what the magician was thinking. The female doll who ascended the throne was guessing that the elves relied on the layout of the Gold Goddess to allow their patrons to spread all over the land, instead of having limited areas like in the past.
No matter how powerful the World Tree is, they are still 'trees' and don't have two legs to run around. No matter how weak the gold coin goddess is, she is still a god.
It is true that there are gods who were originally elves, but concepts such as art and fertility make these gods less aggressive and naturally do not have much protective power and deterrence. Although the gold coin goddess is almost the same, she is related to the Church of Three Holy Lights. Facts have also proven that the other main patron of the bank is an elder with a notorious reputation.
But I didn't expect that everyone guessed wrong. What this group of people surrounding the Gold Coin Goddess conspired to do is even more outrageous. At first glance, it would just make people think they heard a joke. However, if we look closely at the participating lineups, we have to think about their possibility of success.
Carefully savoring the regret that he had not felt for a long time, Alonso said dullly: "It seems that I am really old and not as good as you young people."
"Don't say that. And I think this is an opportunity for you." Lin said with a smile. In fact, this is also a big reason why he will tell things.
The Barbarian King instantly understood what opportunity a certain magician was talking about. A god trying to ascend to the level of great power and carve out a ninth power in addition to the eight powers cannot be peaceful in itself. Not being calm doesn't mean there is an opportunity.
Seeing that the old barbarian was moved, Lin continued to encourage: "Although the way the Gold Coin Goddess expands her faith, it will not infringe on the faith of other gods. And her ultimate goal is the ninth power, not to replace any one of the powers." Lord. It seems that it has no interest in all the gods, but in actual operation, no one knows whether there will be mad dogs biting. Moreover, this involves the entire New God's overall pattern, and it cannot be a small matter. Things. So this moderate turmoil is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for mortals who aspire to become gods. But..."
Someone's hesitant attitude aroused Alonso's curiosity. Asked: "But what?"
Lin said frankly: "No matter how good the opportunity is, if your own conditions are not up to par, it will be of no use. The opportunity will not always be there, it will be fleeting."
The Barbarian King couldn't understand someone's thoughts for such a 'admonishment', and showed a confused expression. Lin had no choice but to explain: "Your own concept, or mark, can represent your flag. The other is the reputation of Barbarian King Alonso."
As the old saying goes, Alonso also understood what the person in front of him meant. There's no point in staying in the empire. Let's go out for a walk as soon as possible and become familiar with people from all over the land. We didn’t expel people explicitly, but it was better than expelling people from the Karlsruhe Empire.
Of course, Lin would not criticize this old barbarian and say something like being a gangster is not a gangster. To the world outside the empire, the Barbarian King was considered a sweeping monk-level figure. His reputation is not good, it's just that he has never left the empire, it's not because of his lack of strength.
However, someone is also worried about the style of play used by the Barbarian King before. It drags people into a high-end battle situation in the realm of consciousness, and it is the kind where only victory is allowed and no defeat is allowed.
If this method is really effective, then how long has it been since this old man has done something with others? In Gu Long's The Passionate Swordsman Ruthless Sword, how did the old man Tianji, who ranked first in the weapon spectrum, die? Isn't it because he hasn't played in actual combat for too long and was defeated by the second-ranked Shangguan Jinhong?
But if I want to look back, it's not my turn to worry about this kind of thing. If the road to becoming a god was really that easy and could go very smoothly, then there wouldn't be so many people who would hate it.
Not much to say about the post-dark era, but also how many mortals challenged the gods in the era after that and were beaten into scum. The 'god' is too close to the people in the lost land. When their power reaches a certain level and they are invincible, it is difficult for these people not to focus on those inhuman beings.
But when Lin brought up the shortcomings of the Barbarian King, the conversation fell into a temporary silence.
Change is something that needs to be evaluated very carefully, and it will not be a decision that is made casually. Those examples of making prompt decisions are actually the people who make the decision. They have made various psychological preparations in advance so that they can make the most appropriate judgment at the moment. But before Alonso came to see this magician, he never thought about leaving his hometown.
In the silence, Lin was thinking about the previous conversation. The fact that the barbarian elder opposite him could bear not to leave or beat someone up meant that he was also moved. So should I stop here, or should I push it further?
Our ancestors taught us clearly that going too far is still not enough.
Excessive force is not a good thing. At the least, it can be seen that one is in a hurry, and then one shouts out a high price; at worst, it can cause people to have a bad association, and things that could have been accomplished become impossible.
The Barbarian King finally left. He didn't ask too many questions to a certain magician about the path to becoming a god, even if that person could give more advice.
Such a result is understandable to Lin. The path to becoming a god is not like governing a country or running a business. The latter two rely on collective efforts. As long as they have the right direction and good ideas, they can bring about at least not so bad results. So you can brainstorm one thing.
But the path to becoming a god is lonely, and once one person succeeds in it, it is like cutting off the opportunity for others to follow the same path. This is not just the difficulty of crossing a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, but if you want to be the only winner, you must have the courage to walk on the road paved with bones.
If Lin opens his mouth, then whose road belongs to him? A gift from a magician? Or did the Barbarian King come out on his own? This is different from the situation where the two parties find different ways, race against time to move towards the same goal, and win first.
When you embark on a path blazed by others, it will become more difficult or even stagnant when you touch the unknown part. To use an inappropriate metaphor, look at the various time-travel historical masterpieces in my hometown. Once the trajectory deviates from the original history, countless time-travelers are brought back to their original shape. If you don't lay a solid foundation while your previous knowledge is still valid, the time travellers will be no different from ordinary people once they arrive in unknown territory.
As for the other goddess who calmly accepted the advice of a certain magician, her situation was different from that of the Barbarian King. Ke Yin's path has been clear. At most, there are some forks on the road. No matter how far or sideways he goes, he can always go on. What Lin did was just give him a push and then control the direction so as not to tilt towards certain actions. Ke Yin understood this, so he never resisted and was willing to accept it.
This is why Lin didn't plan to say anything and add some weight to the weight that pushed the Barbarian King to leave the empire. I have said all I can say, and if I want to continue talking, I can only touch on the part of choosing the path. When talking about this thing, it feels like it is easier to make enemies than to show favors, so it is better not to say it.
Before the old man left, he still left a piece of advice. "Boy, be careful. Your enemies are like turtles. They usually hide in their shells, but once they bite them, they won't let go even if their heads are chopped off. I understand your abilities, and I believe you have your own strength. Arrogant. But no matter how tight the defense is, there will inevitably be gaps. So take care of yourself."
Describe your potential opponents as like turtles. For a moment, Lin didn't know whether the old man was praising the other person or despising the other person. However, someone could not judge for himself whether he had the arrogance about the matter mentioned by the Barbarian King. But there is a possibility of a hundred secrets and a gap. This time, I suffered a loss under his hands.
After the famous barbarian transcendent left, it took a while before the people from the Whale Bone Tavern and the employees of the Adventurer's Guild dared to poke their heads out.
In Lin's previous conversation with the Barbarian King, he used some means to seal off the tavern. People from a certain time travel would not dare to ignore the possible risks arising from eavesdropping and leaking intelligence.
Unless there is a magician of the same level as himself, he will not be able to hear the content of the conversation just now. Even if there is such a powerful magician present, it is impossible for the other party to trigger someone's alert sensor after performing the act. So the conversation just now was safe, and Lin still had a little bit of confidence.
That bold orc chick was the first one to walk in. The three-jointed reflexed feet walked very lightly, and even though they were wearing cloth shoes instead of animal flesh balls, they still didn't make any sound.
She looked around and was surprised that no damage had been done to the inside of the tavern. She had heard about the reputation of Barbarian King Alonso since she was a child. But don’t think that the fans in the area are like the groupies in someone’s hometown, blindly chasing stars. Usually the appearance of such a character is accompanied by death. So people who are smart enough will know how to stay away from these heroes.
There was a sudden movement, and the orc girl and the others were so frightened that they hid behind the tables, chairs and the bar. Although they were scared, they stuck their heads out again and took a peek at the situation in the tavern.
A palm-sized monkey with flames all over its body, with big round eyes, stood on a table in the tavern and stared at a certain magician.
As soon as he appeared, there was another white snake and a green mouse on Lin's shoulders. The White Snake is an imaginary number split, and the Green Rat is of course the twin-tailed mechanical girl who was just beaten to pieces by the Barbarian King with an axe. Although the number of nanoworms in Hefqueen's land has been reduced to the point where it cannot even maintain its mechanical girl form, there is still no problem in forming a green mouse form.
As for this fire monkey...could it be the fire elemental lord Moro who just ran away in gray? Lin thought so as he stared at the incredibly thin fire monkey from the corner of his eyes.
