Chapter 1605: The Face and Thinking of the Old-School Aristocrats

,!

The nobleman who spoke had a more vivid mind than the others, and his ability to draw inferences from one instance to other cases was not a problem. He quickly found a few arguments and said with a smile: "With the help of Your Excellency and Your Majesties, counterattack is not a problem. This so-called new magic tower design that turns defeat into victory is not that important."

"Of course, from your point of view, I can understand that cooperation with the Lost World is not the only option. If you want to choose a suitable ally based on the outcome of the war, it is a good way not to directly intervene in the process of the war. That's right.

"After all, whoever controls the Gate of the Abyss in the end is likely to become your partner. But what I want to emphasize is that the devil, that is, the Abyss side is by no means a good ally.

"This is a completely different concept from choosing among the many homo sapiens races in the Lost Land. Whether humans, elves, dwarves or halflings, we all follow the basic rules of the Lost Land.

"But the demons have their own set of rules, and the abyss just wants to turn the lost land into a second abyss. From this perspective, you can really achieve your original goals from the lost land under the rule of the demons. .

"So, since we are the best or even the only choice, then I think we should have a place in the new order that is about to be established."

Yggdrasil, who had been silent all this time, allowed Yggdrasil, the voice of the magician, to break the silence. The eight-fruit tree incarnation of the ancient Yectrasil shook the treetops, and the eight fruits made a crisp tinkling sound like wind chimes. He also said: "Then mortals, what else do you want?"

The tone was calm, as if there was no emotion in it. In fact, except for the relatively unfamiliar new member-Ms. Bank, the other high-ranking members of the alliance knew that the fact that the ancient one spoke was not a good thing.

It's not that the World Tree boss is angry. But the seriousness of the matter must reach a certain level, and these bosses who have lived for countless years and have experienced a lot will speak out.

Most of the time, Lin communicated with the two ancients through the priests of their respective elf tribes. There are not many direct conversations, let alone meaningless small talk.

Even if it was to say hello, the two ancients could only shake the branches to signal. Normally, he still looks cold and ignores everyone. After all, they are plants, and no one can say anything bad about them. Is it possible to expect this plant to be like a dog, hunching down and wagging its tail all day long?

As for the way the elf priests communicate with the World Tree, they are all mysterious communication methods that can only be understood. Many elves may serve the World Tree all their lives, but may not even hear this ancient master speak the golden mouth once.

Just like the way the magician shook a tree branch, it was an oracle-level revelation. Every time I see it, no elf will burst into tears with gratitude, it’s just that someone doesn’t have the consciousness.

Now one of the Ancient Ones, Yggdrasil, spoke again. They are both high-ranking members of the Turtle Dove Alliance and share the status of World Tree. Of course, the other bosses did not react as fiercely as the elves. But they were also thoughtful about Yggdrasil's reaction.

As we all know, in human society, when the power status reaches a certain level, people do not like to have contact with gods or beings of the same level. Because they are unwilling to bow to other beings, even if they know in their hearts that they are inferior.

But conversely, these gods or beings of the same level don't like to deal with these mortals at the top of the power pyramid.

He is obviously an ordinary mortal like everyone else, but he still pretends to be different. What’s the point of constantly emphasizing bloodline and status?

It's easy to say that those beings who step by step from being mortals to becoming gods are easy to say. They have had the experience of ordinary people and can understand what the pride of nobles is.

The World Tree is just a tree, a plant. Even if they know what a noble is, how can they understand the arrogance in their bones?

However, the nobles who are now getting into the whirlpool of desire have no such consciousness.

For them, how to maximize profits is almost an instinct engraved in their souls. Seeing people stretching their arms in front of them, how could they miss the opportunity to take a bite.

Before the noble Haider who was chatting in front could say anything, someone from the Gwana Empire jumped in and said, "Isn't it just building magic towers on both sides of the Gate of the Abyss? We will take care of both our empires one by one." We will also be responsible for the garrison. We will also bear the threat of the abyssal demons, and we will ensure that everything is handled smoothly for your majesty from beginning to end."

…

hehe.

It looks like he was kicked away again. Someone is so self-deprecating in his heart.

Let’s not talk about whether the magicians in the lost land may agree to hand over the control of the magic tower to the nobles. Being picked on peaches again, someone didn't want to continue to endure the same humiliation as before. Lin said coldly:

"Does this mean that in the future, the two empires can use the method of destroying the magic tower as a threat at any time to make the World Tree and even the higher will of existence act according to your ideas? Well, even if not both empires want to To cause trouble, as long as one of the empires has evil intentions, he only needs to destroy another tower to break the balance that was finally established. Are you sure you have such qualifications?"

"Then what choice do you have? Don't talk about taking refuge in the devil. The best result is the lost land, the abyss, the abyss. And the nature of the devil is destined that they will not be satisfied with the current situation. Only the human world is a suitable partner." The third nobleman who spoke out said confidently.

There is no need for anyone to hide a private meeting like this. You Qi Mi Di doesn’t have the bad habit of asking people to guess and understand everywhere like in my hometown. Therefore, when nobles see what they want, their attitude is quite direct.

And many times, strong words with subjective content can easily guide other people's thinking. As long as you can dominate the topic, then things are half done. The remaining half is just a matter of eating more and eating less.

But the premise is... if you can really dominate the topic.

The one who spoke was still the ancient Yectrasil. He directly ignored the human nobles who looked very small in the high conference center due to the projection angle, and asked: "Is there a backup method?"

Lin suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and used himself to calm down, but in fact he said with a bit of gnashing of teeth: "Yes. In fact, at the beginning, I thought about the possibility of cooperating with the Abyss Demon. But such an idea It is indeed impractical and unfeasible.

"So I seriously thought about feasible backup plans and made a preliminary plan. Simply put, it is to directly get rid of the possibility of involvement of both humans and demons, and let us take the lead in everything.

"The specific action plan is as follows. The first step is to eliminate all opposition and opposition. The blockade imposed on me by Midland is at best the behavior of a small number of people in power in the local lords and magician associations. Most of them Most people don't care or even know that such a thing exists.

"So we will carry out a purge operation. In addition to the aforementioned objects, the target also includes the demons who passed through the Gate of the Abyss and came to the Lost Land. The third goal is to create a no-man's land around the Gate of the Abyss to avoid our future course of action is needlessly interfered with.

"The problem of building materials for the magic tower is even simpler. In one word, rob. If you don't rob one place enough, go to the next place until you rob enough. People are killing people anyway, so robbing things can only be regarded as a convenience. Even if we If you don't take or rob, you will only give others an advantage, so there is no need to pretend to be reserved at this time.

"The third step is to build the tower and establish satellite towns around it, and immigrate to enrich the population, and develop farmland, livestock and other food industries. This is to ensure the food source for the guardians of the magic tower, and it can be matched with the magic tower to form mutual support The power of the horns.

"And the attack range of the Twin Towers of Gates in my design is no longer limited to the ten kilometers stipulated by the Magician Association. According to the example of the Tower of the Great Sage, the attack range of four hundred kilometers is actually not the limit. But consider When it comes to actual control, a range of three to five hundred kilometers is not a problem.

"As for whether this area should be built or not, my opinion is that it doesn't matter whether it can be built or not. And not only this side of the Lost Land, but also the other side of the Abyss needs to have the same plan.

"It also doesn't matter who the immigrants are. Anyway, after the Magic Tower is built, if there are any opponents, they will be sent to death. I have killed them in the front, and there is no need to maintain a false and glorious image in the back, all the way to the dark side. That’s good. Those who follow me live, and those who go against me perish.”

"Of course there is a very important issue here, that is, the necessity of the Twin Towers of the Gate is based on the premise that the ninth power can be established. For the ninth power to be established, banks are indispensable.

"Even if Homo sapiens other than humans also use banks, based on their belief system, whether they can support the ninth power is indeed a problem. Therefore, the human world must be maintained, but all we need is quantity. .

"There is a saying in my hometown, antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times. That is to say, no matter what era, the value of coins made of precious metals will always exist and will not be eliminated or ignored.

"Perhaps a good economic environment can only exist in peacetime. But peacetime is not a necessary condition for the use of money. Even because banks protect private property, others cannot easily rob it. In times of war, The importance of banks may even increase. We may just need to change some of the ways we use them.

"Then we use the results of a large-scale social experiment a thousand years ago when the Demon King destroyed the beliefs of the old era and caused the old gods to completely disappear from the earth as a reference. According to calculations, as long as the number of humans remains at more than 15% of today, banks will not disappear. . And as long as the population remains above 60%, even if it falls into chaos, the demand for banks may not decrease but increase."

Someone's backup plan is more than just words. The situations he mentioned are all explained with a map of the whole world. For example, the effects of attacking all opposition forces and clearing the area around the Gate of the Abyss are displayed in real time on the map.

When explaining the impact of population decline on the belief in the Goddess of Gold Coins, a series of mathematical formulas derived from economic and mathematical theories were proposed. This was used to prove that his purge action would not shake the foundation of the Ninth Power and harm the interests of the will of Midi and World Tree.
