Chapter 1,498 Guardian?

Although this sentence is somewhat derogatory. But in fact, there is only one core theme. Only by having a common topic when talking to people can the conversation continue. One-sided chatterboxes are just annoying.

In the same way, if both parties want to cooperate, either they have common interests, or one party can offer rewards that the other party cannot refuse. Singing a high profile and kidnapping others with moral favors will not work in front of the strong.

Hypocritical moral favors are weapons used by the weak to bully the weaker ones, because the strong can come up with a hundred ways to break this situation and break through the fragile hypocrisy. If you can't do this, how can you be called a strong person?

However, when there are irreconcilable conflicts between the two parties, you can imagine how slim the possibility of cooperation is. What kind of benefits or rewards should be proposed so that the World Trees can commit suicide and abandon their lives with peace of mind and dignity?

In other words, if you want to close all the gates of the abyss, or do the next best thing and only close the one that is causing the invasion of the demon army, you will not get the support of the World Trees. This also means that neither the elven army nor the magician will take action.

Lin looked at which face of the fat boy had become thinner, and his face was twisted and deformed, as if he was struggling with something, and he said: "Now you can understand why I didn't want to tell you this at the beginning, right?" . Because if those words had come out of my mouth, you would probably still be quarreling with me now, or even do some irrational things.

"Similarly, it is also for this reason that I do not go to the front line as soon as possible to help various countries repel the demon coalition. The first thought of all human beings must be the same as yours. That is to repel the demons and close the gate of the abyss.

"If everyone knows that the Gate of the Abyss has opened eight paths and may be the source of extraordinary power. Then what choice do you think the noble lords will make if they want to rule the people as obedient people and slaves?

"At this time, someone jumped out and said: I can help defeat the devil, but the door of the abyss must be opened for me. Will such people be regarded as reinforcements or enemies? Sadly, if this kind of thing is determined, How much effort will it take to clear my name afterwards?

"Of course, the smartest way is to temporarily accept us and then rebel when we are close to success. But everyone here has thought of this possibility, so how could they not be prepared for such a method.

"For me, the most ideal development is when the human coalition is in such a difficult situation that they have to turn to me for help, or ask the elven army to attack. Since they want something, then we have the bargaining chip to make conditions. It will be possible for the local and local parties to resolve their differences in a peaceful way. These benefits cannot be obtained by taking the initiative to send them to the door."

"Is this the only way? Or should I ask first, is this method really feasible?" Ezio tried his best to persuade the people in front of him and solve the dilemma.

The man-eating dead tree then interjected: "The method is feasible. In fact, a few years ago, I felt that the shackles that bound me were showing signs of instability. This was millions of years after I climbed to the top. It’s something I’ve never felt in my years. But there’s still one key missing.”

】

An elder showed up to give his own explanation. Although it is difficult to say something like 'feeling' and cannot be regarded as qualified evidence, the weight of the World Tree's opening is still sufficient. Lin continued:

"Look. The entire plan seems to be feasible until now. And judging from the existing evidence, once the entire plan is successfully completed, it will not only benefit the World Tree. It will also benefit all creatures with extraordinary power in the land. , including the Lost Land, all have the opportunity to jump up a level. This is why the Lord of Guardians has remained silent so far."

Ezio seemed to be reminded and said: "Yes, the Lord of Guardians. Why does her silence have anything to do with this? Didn't others say that because the Lord of the Abyss who came did not violate the taboos she set, she would not come forward to expel him. Devil?"

Lin smiled and said: "Just listen to this kind of words. The taboo violation you mentioned is an occasion where the elder will definitely show up. But even if the taboo is not violated, she still has people's likes and dislikes. For those who can't see If it's pleasing to the eye, won't she look for trouble in private? I don't want to think about how I am always targeted.

"As for the devil, especially the Lord of the Abyss, do you really think that the Lord of Guardians must have a high-sounding reason to find trouble? No, it is a devil, and this reason is sufficient. But it can suppress the Lord of Guardians. If it doesn’t move, it means that there is a higher-level force involved.”

...the will of the lost earth? This is rarely mentioned, and even those who do are dubious about its existence. But if there is anyone who can control the behavior of the Lord of Guardians, it must be the will of the world itself, and it is also the means by which the Lord of Guardians can obtain unlimited aid.

But if this will really exists, and the things planned by the magicians and World Trees in front of them are also conducive to its growth, then it is not impossible for this will to suppress the guardian lord.

Following this line of thinking, what happens when humans choose to go against this will? Ezio couldn't even imagine it.

Just when Ezio was distressed, Lin asked about Fasnas. "Your Majesty, you just mentioned that you feel that the original shackles have been loosened. Haven't you tried to advance? What about Your Majesty Yggdrasil?"

The Eight Fruit Tree whose name was called also came to life. The ancient Yectrasil said directly: "My situation is the same. But if I want to cross that threshold, there is something missing. What I can be sure of is that it is definitely not that we have not accumulated enough. Link 1 We have already prepared the coordinates of the alien plane that other world trees have not set foot in. But if you can't break through, you can't break through."

After pondering for a moment, Lin said: "Well, the only conceivable possibility is that the door is still missing a guardian. In other words, the entire situation has not been completely stabilized."

"Yes!" Ezio seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, jumped up and said loudly: "Guardian, this is it. No demon can pass through the other abyss gates freely. According to you, there are guardians.

"Then we only need to assure the human leaders that after the demons are completely driven out of the Lost Lands, even if the gate of the abyss is not closed, no demons will be able to pass freely. Such a guarantee will not win the support of the human leaders. Are they really all so greedy and short-sighted that they are against it all, without a compassionate leader?”

Faced with this problem, Lin Mian was troubled. After thinking about it again and again, he still said with recognition: "Let's not consider whether there is such a compassionate person. Let's not discuss whether such a person can influence other selfish leaders, overwhelm their opinions, and make the human coalition agree with the world. The conditions of the tree. As long as there is a very important problem that cannot be solved, it is not the time for the World Tree, the elves, or me to jump out."

Regarding a certain magician's evasion, Ezio said dissatisfiedly: "What problem is more important than exorcising demons?"

"How to create a guardian?"

"Shou..." Ezio was speechless, his eyes widened, and he looked at a certain magician in horror. "You haven't thought about such a problem!"

Someone spread his hands and said: "In my original ninth power plan, I only supported the development of the bank by the goddess of gold coins, so that the users of the coins would be under the power of the goddess. In other words, it should have ended twelve years ago After that, just wait for things to develop naturally. After reaching a certain level, everything will fall into place.

"To put it bluntly, the ninth gate of the abyss is not in my plan, and I certainly have not thought about related issues. If I knew it from the beginning, then why didn't I take precautions in advance and directly block the invasion of the demon army. Instead of letting a bunch of demons come here like now, everyone is having a headache how to solve it."

With the help of the World Tree's ability to connect to the earth's veins, it is not difficult for Lin to detect changes in the terrain or anomalies in power. This is not something as subtle as listening in on a specific person's conversation thousands of miles away.

Catching the abyssal breath, an anomaly that is different from the lost land, is almost a sure thing. But for the latter, it is difficult to accurately locate one of the tens or even hundreds of millions of individuals with the same configuration, let alone monitor the sound.

After Ezio also confirmed the fact that the method of generating guardians was unknown, he understood the reason why the magician in front of him was unwilling to come forward to discuss with the noble lords who were at the forefront of fighting against the demon alliance.

The fundamental purposes of both parties are different. If we can start from the common point of defeating the demons, then how will the guardians be generated in the future? After the guardians are born, can they really block the gate of the abyss and prevent the demons from continuing to invade the lost land.

Faced with a series of uncertainties, unknowns, and no guarantees, even the most rational and compassionate leader would not easily agree to such a proposal. Because this may put himself and the people he swore to protect in a crisis, as long as the guardian cannot be born, or the guardian cannot play the role that everyone expects him to play.

Rather than making a bad start and making future cooperation more difficult, it is better to remain silent now. This is not to expect that the human coalition forces will obey the threats of the World Tree and the elves after they have a head-to-head fight with blood. It's just two things that happened to come together, and the best choice was to do this.

Human beings have a human standpoint, and World Tree also has a World Tree standpoint. There are things in common between the two, but to achieve consensus, someone has to make a few concessions, and not everyone wants to maximize their own interests.

Suddenly, Ezio thought of a question in horror and asked: "If humans can solve this door to the abyss, what will you do?"

The eight-fruit tree representing Uggdrasil has no expression; in the man-eating dead tree of Fathnas, the mummy may be able to make some expressions, but it is not that vivid. Only Lin smiled strangely and asked: "Are you worried that we will help the devil's side?"

The idea behind being exposed made Ezio even more worried.

However, Lin said: "Probably no one believes it when they say that we will just sit back and wait for the next opportunity if nothing can be done. But the fact is that since records began, the human side has been able to repel the devil and close the door." The door to the abyss is all because that door is in the initial stage of opening. While the demons are accumulating strength, humans are also doing the same. But this time it is a door of a different level, especially when even the Lord of the Abyss has arrived. ”

Ezio frowned and said, "You don't like the human side?"

"With the virtues of the Suli Tang Empire, would you think highly of them?" Lin asked.
