Chapter 1607 Grudges
The magician first threatened, and then acted like he was watching the show as if it had nothing to do with him, which undoubtedly angered all the nobles.
As human beings who have been at the top of power for a long time, they have never received such cynicism from a mere magician. Even if the Dharma Saint stood in front of them, none of them would be polite, for fear of saying the wrong thing and irritating themselves.
Immediately, someone couldn't stand the grievance they had been feeling, and stood up from the table, pointing at the magician who was as tall as other World Tree incarnations and sitting on a high seat, and yelled: "Don't forget, you are a human being!" Before you made these bullshit plans, did you ever think about your duty as a human being? Being on the side of the elves or the side of the World Tree is nothing, a traitor!"
"Rebel your mother, you big-headed devil!" Lin's eyes were blazing, and he punched the armrest of the high seat with his fist. In an instant, the electric light was activated and rushed in all directions. The bank ladies and the incarnations of the World Tree who were nearest to them all shivered from the electric shock. The bank lady couldn't help but cast a sad look.
However, someone who is in a rage has no concern for other people's thoughts. Now he is almost on the verge of losing control. The high seat vibrates, the water mist boils, the hair, beard, and sleeves move automatically without wind, the eyes are on fire, and the fire comes out when you open your mouth. He gritted his teeth and said:
"I'm not a lost land person, I'm an earthling. In your terms, I'm a foreigner. Betrayal doesn't make sense to me. The World Trees gave me a way to go home. I just need another magic tower to build a deep space telescope.
"Yes, I admit that I have selfish motives for the Twin Towers of Gate and want to do some private work in private. But so what, it will not affect the effect that the Twin Towers should have at all.
"And now I can build one in the maze and the abyss. Using the triangulation method, I believe it can make my path home clearer and increase my chance of returning home successfully by a few percentage points."
"But what have you done? Even if I want to buy basic magic stones that can be used to build magic towers, I either can't buy them or ask questions, and I promise not to use them for any purpose.
"I endured all this, and my mind gradually faded away. Now that I have the opportunity to contact the Magic Tower, you want to kick me aside again! Have you been slandering me for a long time, and you think it is natural to do so?
"I didn't dare to act recklessly before because I didn't want to challenge the whole world. Now I dare to act recklessly because I have the whole world behind me to challenge the world and order that belongs to mankind.
"If I hadn't killed all of you, the Ninth Authority established by Ke Yin might have collapsed before it even took shape. I would have done it a long time ago. You think I calculated the red line for population decline because I have enough to eat and have nothing to do.
"A data that is not interesting at all. An aristocratic class that accounts for less than one percent of the total population determines the direction of all mankind. Even if you add in the power class in the Magician Association, as well as the bishops and above in various divine churches, The number of people did not increase this proportion by even one percentage point.
"As long as I put some thought into carrying out precise strikes. Even if accidental damage is allowed, my plan will not be shaken at all after plunging the entire Mystery into irreversible chaos.
"Do you know what this sentence means? It means that if you are all dead, the lost land will only enter a state of carnival, and no one will be sad for you.
"What's ridiculous is that you think you have a choice, whether you want to live or die; oh, you should be able to wish for more blessings. But in fact, the choice has never been in your hands, nor in the hands of Yggdrasil, but in the hands of Yggdrasil. In my hand.
"It's in my hand! You know what this means. Who gave you the courage to point at my nose and curse!"
An old nobleman retorted stubbornly: "The power in your hands is not uncommon. Sooner or later we will be able to obtain a power stronger and more numerous than you. Believe it or not!"
"So what? Don't think that I don't know that you also have contact with robots. But even if I give you a hundred years to understand the technology of robots, and another hundred years to surpass it, I can destroy it all tomorrow. Time is not on your side!"
Lin struck again, and this time the lightning flashed more and further. If the humans in the center were not too small and far away from the surroundings, this ball of lightning might also reach them.
It's just that at that time, their ending was not like that of the bank lady and the incarnation of Yggdrasil, which could be resolved with a tremor.
However, as long as the electric light is not deliberately guided by magic, it still follows the most basic physical phenomenon, that is, it runs towards the nearest conductor. So the unlucky ones are naturally the 'high-ranking people' around us.
Logically speaking, this level of offense would be enough to make anyone fall out. If a magician fails to apologize properly, the consequences may be serious.
But the magician, who had always been kind, or at least indifferent to others, suddenly exploded. Showing such a violent side and proposing such a murderous plan made even the World Trees who had no feelings for humans fall silent.
Even plants know how to grow toward the sun according to their nature, which is also a sign of seeking good luck and avoiding bad luck. When someone is furious, no World Tree can stand up to him and confront him. Anyway, the electric shock will make you shiver, which is considered to clear the meridians.
Of all the people, the one whose mood was completely different from the others was definitely Old Kawei Gong, an old nobleman who had known the magician for more than ten years.
As a great aristocrat, he would hand over a magician. In addition to the benefits of this person, it was more because he had seen through the magician's character.
It seems cold on the outside but hot on the inside. Eat soft things but not hard things. To put it nicely, it is called kindness, and to put it unpleasantly, it is called being exploitable. The most commendable thing is that he sticks to his duty and never breaks the rules easily.
Not all nobles rush to eat people up and wipe them clean. At least for a warrior like Old Kaweigong who was born on the battlefield, he knows how to share benefits with others. They know better than those nobles who stay behind and talk big words without hurting their backs.
There is no other way. We expect the soldier to sacrifice his life and die, and then turn around and force him and his family to a dead end. Such a general must know how sharp his soldiers' swords are!
And how could those nobles who were firmly seated in the temple understand how dangerous it would be for them to force someone to rebel? They just keep testing people's limits, pushing the upper limit of tolerance higher and higher, and they won't know that they have passed it until the tight string is completely broken.
At this time, the old man didn't feel resentful, but more helpless. He could only smile bitterly and said: "Xiao Gai, why have I never heard these words from you before?"
"What should I say, my lord. Even I won't believe such an excuse from other people's point of view, so how can I win people's trust? No matter how much time I spend and how much evidence I prepare, people who don't want to believe it will I will never believe it." Lin said truthfully.
As long as there is a possibility of a thing being used for other purposes, people will choose a more conservative approach to avoid abuse.
From the perspective of a certain magician, even if his idea is confirmed, he just wants to find a way home. But for the noble, this magic tower is a threat after all in his hands. So the best option is to keep that magician away from the magic tower.
If it hadn't come to this point where it was already unstoppable, no one would believe what this magician said.
No! Rather than believing it, it is better to say that everyone is subconsciously willing to believe that those words are true. In this way, the threat after the magic tower is established can be minimized and the fear in the heart can be slightly relieved.
...When he realized how ridiculous his idea was, the old man was filled with helplessness. Once upon a time, a nobleman close to the emperor had to live such a humble life.
Putting aside the problem of the mysterious land and the 'earth' that the man calls, do you still regard the magician in front of you as a human being? Are there such 'human beings' who are as huge as gods and overlook all living beings?
Because he was so familiar with him, Old Kaweigong, who had no problem with his previous attitude, reconsidered whether his attitude and thoughts towards such a magician were too negligent.
But there is a more serious problem at hand, that is, when negotiations are facing breakdown, awkward silence is not a good thing. The first voice that breaks the silence may very well be the sentence that determines the future direction.
But whether human society in this future will continue or be discontinued is a question so heavy that it is difficult for everyone to think about it. Everyone who was aware of this matter felt their mouths were dry and they were unable to speak even a single word.
In such difficult times, living longer than others and experiencing more than others is an advantage that no one else can match. For the old emperor of Gwana, Armin Kazharnia, he was as shocked as others when he heard those words, but he was not as angry as others.
This is not to say that the old emperor is so open-minded that even if he is fooled by an ordinary person, he can still laugh and let the matter pass. But this old man, who has half his foot in the coffin, knows that acting on impulse is never a good attitude toward something.
Holding power is not to abuse power, but to lead people to make the most correct choices. Profit is just an accompanying accessory, not the main purpose pursued. It's just that many people have forgotten this and only value the latter.
And at his age, the old emperor valued what he could leave more than what he could gain.
It would definitely not be a good thing if the Gwana Empire, which has the most orthodox imperial heritage in Midland and has the heritage of the Magic Empire, Goblin Empire, Elf Empire, and Dwarf Empire, is cut off by oneself. So it’s self-evident what choices you can make.
He used the characteristic rough voice of an old man and said soothingly: "Calm down, Your Excellency the Great Magician. Before the matter reaches that point, there is still room for negotiation. Otherwise, you wouldn't have waited until now, right?"
"Maybe my patience has been exhausted before. The so-called waiting is actually just an illusion." Lin said indifferently.
"Don't refuse the opportunity provided by others. Maybe this will make what you want to do easier to solve. All you need to do is just take some time to listen." The old emperor said warmly.
"Then you hear a bunch of bullshit conditions and make yourself even more angry?" Lin mocked. "I'm not a good businessman, and I don't have the patience to mingle words with others. If you expect to test my bottom line step by step, then I can tell you clearly that everything I just said is my unshakable bottom line. No concessions. There is no possibility of that.”
