Chapter 1,590 The Purpose of the Floating Island

,!

The exchange between magicians is reciprocal. This is a principle that has not changed since ancient times.

But here's where it gets interesting. What counts as 'equivalence'? Who defines value?

Even in a certain place where many people come from, most people are accustomed to a social environment where prices are clearly marked. People who buy things still find them too expensive and those who sell things find them too cheap. The so-called market mechanism is actually a statement that deceives some inexperienced children. Who does not know the advantages of oligopoly, or even monopoly, in buying and selling.

So, under the premise that Ada only agreed to let the other party come to the Mithron nuclear area and had no guarantee that the other party would be able to see anything, was it too much to take it for granted that he asked the other party to reveal all the ideas he had gained? .

Just because the other party really sees something, you can't use this as a condition to require the other party to give equal knowledge in exchange.

What the other party gets depends on the other party's ability, and what you pay for yourself is the key. Just say that the other party looked at the Miseren Core but couldn't understand it, and if he got nothing, would he give up asking for the reward? Ada asked herself.

Especially since the other party is not someone who can be manipulated. Those heavenly soldiers who were scared away proved this point.

Besides, the other party has the ability to freely enter and leave the floating island, and even the ability to enter the Myser energy nuclear area without alerting anyone or any device. As long as they can't block it, whatever they want to do to the other party is delusional.

In fact, if Lin knew this idea, he would only laugh at the guardian for being so naive. If he were a real person, he would definitely be thinking about how to take advantage of others and how to avoid paying bills.

Perhaps feeling the other party's embarrassment, Lin added another explanation and said: "I want to know the purpose of the floating island. In fact, I also want to know whether your position will harm the human side."

"If so, I will definitely have reservations. After all, I don't want to create too strong an opponent for myself. But if you don't have this intention, there is even room for cooperation in the future. Then who wouldn't welcome a more powerful partner? Yes. You are right, Lord Ada."

This was like an excuse to go down the stairs, which reassured Ada a little.

Of course, Lin also considered whether the other party might hide the real evil purpose and find any excuse to stop it.

However, the floating island that had not appeared for thousands of years suddenly appeared, and instead of staying aloof, it directly participated in the major events related to the Lost Land. In this case, if you just find an excuse and expect others to believe it, you will treat everyone as an idiot.

So if the other party comes up with an incompetent reason or insists on not saying anything, then it is reasonable to suspect that something is going on.

If it is open, that is also a good thing. As a traveler, of course I understand the truth that “free is the most expensive”. That kind of giving without asking for anything is not something that everyone can accept calmly.

As long as the floating island stated its purpose, it was like setting a price. Then we can all discuss whether others can accept it and to what extent they are willing to accept it. This will make everyone feel confident.

It seems that the current cooperation between the Vader Military and the Floating Island is only superficial. In fact, everyone is still doing their own thing. The biggest reason is that the military cannot fully believe in the position of the floating island, and of course it is impossible to leave the back to such an 'ally'.

Even if they cooperate to trap and kill people from the evil camp, the strategy is such that either party can withdraw at any time and it won't have much impact. If this ally is actually a member of the devil's side, looking for an opportunity to perform a backstab, what will the human side do?

This possibility is not entirely non-existent. Anyone who has reached such a high level in politics will not be a little white rabbit who can be slaughtered by others. Even if they don't eat people, they will choose to protect themselves first. Of course, we will be wary of such allies who appear suddenly and seemingly want nothing.

Isn't it because my request was very big and I directly gave the limit early on, which scared old Kawei Gong so much that he didn't dare to come to his door. Otherwise, according to the old man's urine, if he catches a living person, he will be tortured to the point of illness if he is not ill, and he will be tortured to death if he is ill.

Perhaps Lin's reasons were too strong, and Ada finally realized the Floating Island's position and was a little embarrassed by the current human camp in the Lost Land, so she decided to express her needs.

"Requiring the Floating Island to participate in the war is the decision of the Supreme Council, which is also my decision. The reason for making such a decision is that I hope that after the war, or without waiting until the war, the Floating Island can once again be restored to the surface world. connect."

"That's it?" Lin was really surprised this time.

Just because of this reason, to fight a war that does not belong to you? If this is a petition, then it must be that the things you want are boundless.

But why in Ada's mouth, the main purpose sounds like a trivial thing. If we really want to restore contact, it would be better for the two sides to contact each other by restoring trade first, rather than joining a war from the beginning.

The other reason for being so anxious is that the other person is a newbie who has no experience in the world. Another reason is that the matter is quite urgent. And Ada, a guardian who has existed for thousands of years, certainly cannot be someone who is inexperienced in the world. Then the reason is the latter.

But of course Ada would not finish the matter in just one sentence. She would just listen to her talk about the cause and effect of the matter.

According to someone's simple understanding, it is a floating island that escapes from the lost world and pursues a perfect social system.

This system rationally allocates everyone to all needs, while those low-end, low-level, repetitive tasks that do not require creativity are handed over to golems or magic devices to perform.

Coupled with the strength of the floating island, it seems to have no natural enemies and has been developing steadily to this day. Then the problem arises...

I won’t go into detail about the harm caused by class solidification to society. In the past, on the floating island, as soon as a child was born, the path he should take until his death would be determined based on each child's abilities.

The current floating island goes a step further. From the moment a child is born, depending on what kind of family the child is born into, the path he will take until his death is determined.

The reason for the transition from the former to the latter is that the heavenly beings on the floating island discovered that the education of a child's environment will affect a person's development more than personal ability.

No matter how well an outstanding child born to working parents is raised, the chance of him becoming an outstanding leader is slim. No matter how bad a child from a leader's family is, he will still have a certain standard after inheriting his parents' status.

But it is this system of choosing the best solution that has gradually led the floating island to an indescribable situation. Ada couldn't explain why, she just knew that if this continued, it would be very bad.

So she spent a long time thinking about it, discussed it with the gods on the island, and tried one solution after another. But the situation has not improved.

In the end, Ada made a decision that everyone in heaven had opposed before, which was to lift the closed state of the floating island. In addition to reconnecting with the surface world, there is even a need for deeper communication. Including business transactions, population mobility, intermarriage, etc.

The reason why such a decision was made is because all methods agreed upon by gods and humans have been tried, but they have not helped to change the status quo. And they can't think of any more ways. It can be said that from the standpoint of heavenly beings, they are at the end of their rope.

So Ada decided to implement methods that the gods originally disagreed with. According to the tacit understanding between the Supreme Council - that is, Edda, the guardian of the Mystic Nuclear Power - and the Council - the highest decision-making organization for the gods, there are many people, and the speaker takes turns - not to refute each other's orders. Sky Island Edda lifted the closed state that had lasted for thousands of years, and as soon as he appeared, he joined the battle against the abyssal camp.

In fact, this was not because Floating Island deliberately participated in the war, but because their location was near the battlefield. And because although the floating island can be moved, the degree of freedom is not as high as outsiders imagine.

For a new force that wants to integrate into the surface world, it seems unreasonable to just stand by and watch when a war breaks out as soon as it appears. Therefore, the floating island's participation in the war became an unavoidable option, but the behavior of the heavenly people was also quite conservative.

The so-called conservatism here does not mean that the gods do not contribute on the battlefield, or that they retain their strength. Although at the beginning, Tianren did not aim to destroy the enemy; but if he didn't know how to run after being beaten, then his attitude of being helpless if he was beaten to death was also quite obvious.

Until recently, geniuses have deliberately pursued lethality, striving to annihilate their enemies in every battle.

However, the battle between the heavenly beings will not leave the scope of returning to the floating island within one day. They don't camp out overnight. No matter how late the battle goes, the Celestial beings will return to the floating island to rest after cleaning up the battlefield.

This kind of attitude is what someone calls conservative. It also made the threat of heavenly beings and floating islands in the eyes of the evil camp change from extremely high to extremely low.

However, Floating Island never thought about changing this situation. Although Guardian Ada has the command authority of the Supreme Council, she only has such power within the island. Once outside the island, the gods still decide for themselves, and Ada can't even object.

In fact, when Lin was halfway through listening to the guardian's story, he roughly guessed what the problem facing the floating island was. But it was polite to let someone finish what they said. Besides, Lin was not 100% sure whether the situation was what he imagined, so he patiently acted as a listener.

In the end, he listened to Ada's show off with the disgusting feeling of having his mouth filled with shit. It felt like listening to a fat, rich man saying, 'I eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, so I'm overweight, what should I do?'

Faced with the troubles of such a rich man, Lin Bu was already polite enough by complaining, so how could he help the other party think of a solution?

Besides, Ada herself had come to a conclusion. She said this not to ask for help from a certain magician, but just to show that she had no ill intentions towards the Lost World.

Therefore, Lin Zai promised that he was willing to convey such goodwill to Floating Island and hide the current difficulties facing Floating Island. To promote cooperation between the surface world and floating islands.

It's just that Lin only serves as a microphone. Formal envoys still require the two parties to appoint candidates from each other, and he cannot be the representative of a magician.

Ada readily accepted the extra help.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as someone takes the initiative, everything that happens next will be a matter of course. Ada had no reason to refuse, and certainly would not refuse. After all, they paid their reward long ago.
