Chapter 1517 The Limits of World Trees
The old man's voice was a little angry. However, with someone's current thick skin, he just laughed twice and explained the Ninth Power Plan from beginning to end.
If it were anyone else, Lin might still choose to keep it a secret. But the old man in front of you has the opportunity to win over. Let the other person know what you want to do. It will be easier to succeed than asking the other person to trust you and follow your instructions.
Someone absolutely despises that kind of unconditional, mindless trust.
If you don't care whether things turn out to be as perfect as you imagined, then it doesn't matter if you mess around. But if the results must be meticulous, then it is best to have all possible variables under control.
So a good communication is a very important prerequisite.
However, after hearing the entire plan, the old man still looked stunned. Lin finally said: "Actually, in my plan, everything ended twelve years ago after His Majesty Ke Yin founded the bank. The rest is to wait for time to brew and upgrade the Gold Goddess to the ninth power. But Regarding the opening of the Abyss Gate and the need for a guardian to take over, this is something I never thought about at the beginning. So for things like today to happen, to be honest, I was a little unprepared."
"So, all of this was caused by you and World Tree, so understand it." The old man concluded.
"Can I say that this is all an accident?" This time someone was really embarrassed.
With the old man's knowledge and experience, he would not be like that little guy Ezio, who would mindlessly ask how to close these damn abyss doors when he heard someone's complete plan for the first time.
Someone made it clear from the beginning that the entire plan was made for the requirements of the World Trees. The opening of the Gate of the Abyss was an unexpected event. But it cannot be said that there is no causal relationship between the two things.
If you insist on closing this door, it will affect what you have done before, then it is obvious what position the World Trees will stand with the magician in front of you. Not to mention that there is a vague shadow of will behind it.
Does the old man think he is ready to challenge them? There is no need to even think about this kind of thing. If you can be friends, why insist on being enemies? What's more, the whole thing is not lifeless. But he couldn't help it, and whispered in a whisper-like voice:
"The ninth power, that is to say, I want this door of the abyss to be closed and not open again anywhere else, so I have to..." Although I knew the answer, the old man really didn't have the courage to say it. Because this is a world where there really is a god.
However, a certain atheist with a background in science and technology can speak some blasphemous words without restraint.
Lin Zhi said: "Slay the God? Yes, if you make up your mind to kill the Gold Coin Goddess, this matter will not be endless. Maybe you don't need to pick Ke Yin, just pick any one of the eight powerful masters, maybe the door is the same It will come to an end. It’s just that you have to find a way to defeat the devil on your own, and there is a great chance that there will be one more enemy.”
It feels like the problem of the Demon Alliance has become a big deal. Regardless of how powerful Ke Yin is now, can the human empire challenge the eight powerful masters? Old Kawei Gong has confidence in the empire, but he is not blindly confident.
And what follows actually hints at the stance of the World Trees. Although there have been speculations before, it still makes people frustrated and even angry when they actually hear it.
Regardless of the fact that Ricardo Kawei, as the former Grand Duke of the Empire, the power in his hands can already be regarded as the top group of human beings. But that’s just among ‘human beings’. Standing in this position, the old man knew very well what horrors there were above.
Knowing that he was powerless to change the reality that the Gate of the Abyss existed and was bound to exist, the old Grand Duke still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Question: "So you are looking for solutions during this time?"
"Yes."
"There's an answer. Otherwise you wouldn't be here."
"Indeed."
"Is it related to the guardian?" the old man asked, keenly noticing the important point.
"Your Majesty, you are aware of this." Lin praised with a smile and then continued: "As long as the guardianship is established, the balance will be restored on both sides of the Gate of the Abyss."
"Not necessarily a guardian?" The old man noticed the difference in someone's words.
"In fact, there have been gates of the abyss for countless years, and not every gate has a guardian." Lin pulled out the information about the eight gates of the abyss and their guardians under the night starry sky.
The content is very detailed, but I guess the elderly people in front of me don’t care about it and can’t understand it. Therefore, what takes up the most space are sixteen pictures and densely packed text that makes it difficult to read clearly.
The picture shows the actual locations of the eight gates of the abyss, as well as photos of the eight 'guardians'. These are the key points. To the old man, those words were just to prove that someone had done serious research.
But Lin still highlighted the only abyss door without a guardian, hidden in the twin volcanoes.
Explained: "According to my research, as long as the two sides of the door reach coordination, then we are done. This is comparable to asking those who have lost their memories of long ago and forgotten how they became guardians, what is the method to become a guardian? It is even easier to achieve. My method has also been studied by the World Trees and is believed to be more than 90% accurate."
"Then what is your method?" The old man felt both looking forward to the answer to the mystery that was about to be revealed, but also afraid of being hurt. And he had a gut feeling that the answer wouldn't be one he liked.
Someone lived up to expectations and waved away the information originally displayed, replacing it with the design drawings of two magic towers. At the same time he said:
"The Gate Twin Towers Plan. Build a magic tower on each side of the Abyss Gate. As an anchor connecting the two worlds, it can coordinate the Lost Land and the Abyss to achieve a certain balance. In the end, Koin will become the ninth power. And give the World Trees a chance to cross the existing limits.”
Sure enough, it was an answer that a magician would give; and not surprisingly, it was an answer that I didn't like. The old man asked directly: "Who is the master of the tower?"
"Fin and I, one for each. Old man, you should understand. This is not about dividing the spoils, one for you and one for me. If the two towers are hostile, or the interests and positions behind them are inconsistent, it is very likely that there will be two towers." Towers will destroy each other. Then the consequences will be even more unpredictable. Just like I don’t recommend you to try to close the door to the inherent abyss. Because if you do so, you are likely to provoke one of the Lords of Power. He even offended eight people at once."
Although what he said after that was someone's concern, it also sounded like a threat. However, the old man tried to soften his tone as much as possible to make his words less sharp. Asked: "Is it possible to hand over the design of the magic tower? You should also know that many people have doubts about letting you own the magic tower again."
Lin relaxed and said calmly: "I know. So can you accept the elves being in charge of these two towers? Or the envoys of the Gold Coin Goddess moving in? Speaking of letting the church control the magic tower, it is really the past. Unheard of. I wonder if the Magicians Association would agree."
Someone talked happily, but he didn't forget to observe the old man's face. And the various tangled and embarrassed expressions can actually explain a lot of problems.
Regardless of whether this old man who belongs to the top nobles of the old family is willing to own a magic tower, how to convince others is also a big problem. Many difficulties do not lie with one or two people, but with the overall environment.
But faced with this entanglement, Lin had to say: "Old man, please don't think that there is room for negotiation in what I said to you today. What I said is the so-called bottom line. You I don’t think that whether it is the World Tree, the Goddess of Gold Coins, or other existences behind this, they will allow something that may affect them to be in the hands of humans and become the key to controlling them.”
It was both an emphasis and a warning. Lin added: "If it is allowed, it actually only shows a result that no one wants to see. The real negotiable part is whether humans are allowed to gather around the Magic Tower. And whether there is free passage through this door.
"The Lost Land is not completely unnecessary for the abyss. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many magicians constantly venturing into that world just to bring back some local products. Instead of allowing smuggling, it is better to put it on the table and take care of it. , isn’t it?
"The other thing is who provides the materials to build the magic tower. After all, this is the first line of defense against demons. It is a normal requirement for countries to share some of it. No one wants to see demons coming in and out of their homes at will."
With a sigh, the old man said feebly: "You said this is the limit that you cannot negotiate. But have you ever thought about which country in the human world would agree to such a condition? Even if you convince me today, It’s useless. I have the power to command all humans on this line of defense, but I don’t have the power to decide such a thing.”
Lin knew this answer well. But holding the bargaining chips in his hand, it was a bit cruel to be honest. Someone had to restrain his expression, not to look too arrogant, and said: "This is related to your old man's initial problem, and my Answered."
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly remembered what his original question was. Wasn't it the question of whether the demon alliance would go south or north. This made the old man prick up his ears and listen.
"The reason why I can be sure that the demon will continue to go south instead of turning back to the north is because I have found that at least three Abyss Lords have descended on the Lost Land, and there is at least one Abyss Evil God waiting to come."
This answer made Ricardo Carvey stand up in fright! After a while, my hands and feet were cold and I was sweating.
If what this magician said is true, then the reason why the devil will fight southward is that there are more people and flesh and blood available for sacrifice in the south. In comparison, the north does not have that many people.
Even after realizing this strategic purpose, the Suli Tang Empire became more decisive and could directly disperse all its defenders and disperse them to live in various places. Although the strength of either party is not enough to resist the demon alliance; on the other hand, if the demons want to collect enough sacrifices for sacrifice, they have to spend more time and energy to collect them.
Compared to the sparsely populated north, the densely populated south is a better choice, isn't it?
