Chapter 1,518 The Threat From the Abyss Is Greater than Imagined
After knowing the truth, the old Grand Duke said bitterly: "How many people have died in the north? Why don't we know anything about the arrival of three great monarchs? It is not so easy for any great monarch to come, right?" , what did the Guardian Lord do? None of this is reasonable."
Lin understands the elderly man's restrained excitement. If you encounter such unexpected trouble, no matter how restrained you are, you will appear to be about to collapse. He said that he had no confidence in his own psychological quality at all.
However, Lin responded helplessly to the old man's complaint: "There will be visions of heaven and earth when the king comes, but this kind of thing is not impossible to cover up. Maybe when the first one comes, the demon side is not prepared, or not prepared enough, so Clues are revealed. Now that there is the first Abyss Lord, under its leadership, it won't be a big trouble to cover up the tracks of other Lords.
"Then the Lord of Guardians has not appeared until now. Doesn't he represent the position of certain existences? Gods are never merciful. They all have their own oaths. And these oaths do not necessarily include human beings. After all, in the past In this whole chess game, the human voice is very small. The sooner we realize this, the sooner we can figure out how to play the game."
"What happened to the Lord of Guardians?" The old man suddenly seemed to change the subject and asked about something else.
Lin replied without any concealment: "Well, I didn't see the details with my own eyes. But I heard that the goddess of gold coins went to her kingdom to block the door, so that's why there is no news about the elder."
"You can guess that this is the case." The old man nodded as if confirming. Asked again: "You said that if a guardian is born, there is no need to consider building a tower. You also said that you can't find a way to give birth to a guardian, so you settle for the next best thing and build a magic tower. Instead, have you ever estimated how much time it might take to naturally give birth to a guardian?"
Lin said seriously: "I really haven't thought about this. I can only answer, keep at it, the guardian will be born naturally one day."
"But in this case, you won't help? Right?"
Faced with the old man's stern questioning, Lin spread his hands and said: "Mindi can afford to wait, and the World Trees can afford to wait. Although I can't afford to wait, my responsibility ended twelve years ago. This is considered Work overtime, and I also gave remedies. If you don’t want to do it according to my method, then the person who refuses should be responsible for himself. This approach should be the same no matter where it is."
Instead, I wanted to use harsher words to rebuke the magician so that he would not forget his responsibilities. But the resentment in his heart dissipated irresistibly after being raised for just a moment.
The old man knew very well what kind of person the person in front of him was. It becomes even clearer how insignificant human life is to the existence that has been involved. If they were to stand on the opposite side, the consequences would be disastrous.
Even though the people in front of them didn't mention it, if they only needed the Gate of the Abyss to exist, they could choose to cooperate with the demons. Humans can build magic towers, but demons can't?
So is there any reason why they must and can only cooperate with humans?
He doesn't understand the design of the magic tower... If the magician who transformed the Great Sage's Tower into a tower with enough power to rule an area doesn't understand the design of the magic tower, then no one in the world understands it.
The problem of materials... Maybe Ricardo Kawi is not a magician, but he knows very well that there are many substitutes for the materials of the magic tower. There is nothing that is indispensable and can only be produced in a certain place.
Even if there was such a thing, would it be difficult to conquer a place like that with the Demon Alliance in hand?
The logistics of the Magic Tower... this is even more speechless. With the support of World Tree, can the people living in the tower starve?
Even if the World Tree doesn't support it, doesn't the devil also support it? Based on the existence of the magic tower, a part of the land is designated as farmland, and some living people are left to cultivate it, just to support the people blocked in the magic tower at the gate of the abyss, in exchange for the right to let oneself pass freely.
For me, this deal would be quite worthwhile. This is not to mention that food can be used as an excuse to manipulate the other party. Even if you can't offend someone to death, it's not difficult to get some benefits by pulling back.
With the temperament of the person in front of him, he would not care about petty profits. Just give in, so you won't worry too much.
Not all demons are idiots who only know how to fight and kill, but there are also many demons who are good at conspiracy. Will these devils who know how to use their brains find a way to deal with this magician?
Besides, if the human side chooses to hard-top, it means not taking the path given by the magician and the world tree in front of them. Then you have to face at least three Abyss Lords and an Abyss Evil God, as well as countless demons and orcs.
The old man has absolutely no doubt whether he can win in the end. With all the strength of the universe, justice will surely defeat evil. This result has been true since ancient times. The difference lies in the price paid.
But when we really hit the door of the abyss and prepare to close it, will the elves jump out and become new enemies under the command of the World Tree? Where is the magician in front of me? And what about the gold coin goddess?
Even if these existences don't jump out to stop it. According to what the person in front of me said, as long as there is a deity like the Goddess of Gold Coin who is strong enough to reach a certain level, the gate of the abyss will continue to open until one day the heaven and the abyss return to balance.
Then the option on the human side, if it is not to constantly attack and destroy the opened abyss door, is to find a way to get rid of the gold coin goddess and knock down the altar... This also means that the bank is gone.
After twelve years of development, the bank has penetrated into all aspects of society. Not only humans use it, but all Homo sapiens living in this society use it. Even in the underground world, banks have become a part of the financial system.
The biggest advantage is that there are no more robbers. No one can break into a kingdom with powerful divine power and steal even a penny from the pool of gold coins that is said to be like an ocean.
Even if he could endure the pain of losing the divine protection of the Gold Goddess, whether he had the ability to conquer the goddess was still a big question.
Especially this one was a continuous battle after repelling the demons and closing the door to the abyss. At that time, did humans still have the strength to continue fighting, and to challenge a powerful divine power?
It is estimated that after they are all defeated and victorious, humans will be able to retire from the main stage of the Lost Land. Let’s see who will be the protagonist of the next generation.
So ignorance is happiness. The more he knew, the fewer choices he felt he had.
The only good thing was that he drove the others out before the magician spoke. Although these people are all his cronies, there are many of the emperor's men among them. This is a tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers. Ricardo Carvey has always pretended to be confused.
Although it doesn't matter if the old friend knows about today's conversation with the magician, he will have to tell him sooner or later. But when to say it and on what occasion to say it, there will be completely different results.
At least these things cannot be brought out too early and discussed in public.
There are anti-human remarks everywhere inside and outside the words. The worst thing is that if others rebel, humans will be unable to resist, and at most they will choose to fight to the death. Even if it disrupts the other party's plan, humans may not be able to survive.
In fact, for World Tree and the magician in front of him, the best time for them to propose is when the demon coalition forces beat the human side to a halt. In order to seize life-saving straws, the human leaders at that time dared to agree to any hellish conditions. As for the grievances and casualties of civilians, they are nothing.
Perhaps those requests made at that time would be viewed as taking advantage of the situation. But to be honest, my family's wealth is almost gone, and my hometown is about to be ransacked. If someone takes advantage of it, I will take advantage of it and rob it, leaving a bad life at least. The old man is no stranger to this mentality.
The reason why the magician in front of him told himself these things so far in advance was not a sign of his unwiseness, but his choice to believe in himself. It's just that this trust is too heavy, so heavy that the old man feels regretful.
Therefore, in today's conversation, when it comes to the elderly, even those who have confidence have lost confidence. I am so worried that I even pulled a few strands of my beard without feeling it.
Suddenly an idea flashed in the old man's mind and he asked: "Do you think it is possible to find a way to become a guardian from ancient books? I remember the Great Library..."
Halfway through his words, the old man suddenly got stuck. He remembered that the magician in front of him lived in the holy city of Estali, the city of magicians built around the Great Library.
Lin lived up to the old man's expectations and said: "I have read all the information in the big library. If there are books that mention guardians, I can make a list, if the old man needs it. But I can say, Most of it contains information with little reference value. It just talks about some secrets and little-known things about the existing guardians."
"Hmm~, I remember that there are some secret areas in the big library that ordinary people cannot enter. In the name of the Grand Duke... No, I asked my son to use the name of the Grand Duke, so I should be able to ask the magician guarding the tower to let them go."
Lin shook his head and refused, saying: "Old man, how do you think the big library can stop me? It just blocks some fledgling young people. I have checked all the information that can be checked. In fact, on the first day of learning about the demon invasion For a while, I focused all my energy on the collection of documents in the big library, hoping to get some good news from them. The result was very disappointing."
"Is there really no other way to go?" the old man asked without giving up.
"Definitely." Lin gave a hopeful answer. But he spread his hands and said: "But that's not what I can think of. The method I provided is the one with the highest success rate approved by His Majesty the World Tree. But I don't rule out that there are other methods in the world. Someone or a genius can think of a better way than me. I'm not arrogant enough to do it."
"Suppose," the old man thought carefully and asked, "-I mean, if we agree to all the requirements and you and the elves work hard, how long will it take to push the devil back to the gate of the abyss?"
Lin smiled and held up the fragrant Elf Flower Tea and said, "Tomorrow afternoon, you can sit next to the Gate of the Abyss and drink this tasteless tea with peace of mind."
