Chapter 1,604 Reasons for Choosing Cooperation
,!
Things that should have been solved so easily have put humans on the front line and suffered such huge losses. As one of the losers, one can imagine the anger in my heart.
But no one dares to vent their anger on these beings. In addition to upbringing issues, the desire to survive is more at play.
Plants like World Tree are not gentle gentlemen, otherwise they would not acquiesce to the establishment of an organization like the Turtle Dove Alliance. In the eyes of the noble lords, this organization that frequently kills people and exterminates their families is not a good thing.
But there are some words that just don’t come out well. Therefore, this great nobleman and important minister of the Gwana Empire could not help but speak out.
It was just a rhetorical question from the magician that left everyone speechless.
Lin asked: "If at the beginning of the war, or even earlier, when the Gate of the Abyss was taking shape, I jumped out and said: Because World Tree and the entire Lost Land are in need, please let me build stable buildings on both sides of the Gate of the Abyss. A magical tower of two worlds. Who would agree? Who would support it? You?"
Well……
The old man who originally spoke said without giving up: "We can talk about this kind of thing."
"Yes, because it takes time to negotiate, the demons can take the opportunity to invade during this time. Since the demon invasion is inevitable, what do you have to complain about?" Lin said.
"Can't we control the door first and block the demon's invasion?" The old man still refused to give up.
"Who will control it? Let the wood elves control it? That area is really controlled by the wood elves. Can you allow such a thing? Or should it be controlled by humans? If it really falls into your hands, the first thought must be to close the abyss. Door. So do we still have room for negotiation? No one on both sides will control it? Then the devil will invade, and because no one will stop it, the result will be the same."
Well……
"Then you can also contribute in the subsequent war. Instead of only human sacrifices." The old man said angrily what he wanted to say most.
Lin remained calm, using his huge figure to overlook a group of little people who could not reach him, and said: "In the process of sacrifice, waiting for your nods to agree, how long will it take? How is it different from the current situation? Since it is Same, it doesn't matter whether the wood elves get involved or not. Or if we bleed and sacrifice with you, and suffer miserably in this way, you will consider our demands. Instead of using the elves as shields and pushing them to the extreme If you go to the front line, it's best to die cleanly. Huh?"
In response to this torture that penetrated his soul, the old nobleman stiffened his neck and chose to avoid answering. He also said: "Then you can go directly to the door of the abyss and block the door first. We will talk about what you want to talk about later." "
"Haha, this is back to the situation just now, the issue of who will control the Gate of the Abyss." Lin showed contempt for the first time and said, "Do you need me to repeat what I just said (copy and paste to cheat the word count)?"
"Then if we keep disagreeing, will you just let things get worse?"
"Why not." Lin said indifferently. But he still slightly corrected the old man and said: "But I regret to emphasize one thing. The only ones who have become worse are you, or in other words, the human society that has dominated the Lost Land for a long time. For Yggdrasil and Lost Land, , as long as that door is still there, nothing has changed. It hasn’t gotten worse, and it certainly hasn’t gotten better.”
The most cruel part of this whole thing was pointed out by Lin in a bloody way.
The blood kept flowing. But no matter how much or how little it flows, it has no impact on the overall situation and is all in vain.
This time it was the turn of the people from the Haider Empire to speak out. The emperor was so shocked that he couldn't say anything. It was the powerful officials below who spoke. He said weakly: "Your Excellency, since you are capable of solving this matter yourself, why do you have to go around in such a big circle and create such a mess? Isn't it fun to tease us?"
Now the person who felt helpless was a magician who was as huge as the incarnations of the World Tree. Lin spread his hands and said with a look of shit on his face: "What I want to build are two magic towers. Magic towers! They are not broken houses built with mounds of earth or stones. Everything can be made from local materials. Don't you forget?" Now, the world is just as defensive about me as it is about anything else.
"Some of the key materials used to build the magic tower, not to mention that I can't buy them myself, even if the technical guild or the automobile center wants to buy them, it is very difficult and the quantity is limited. A lot of people feel aggrieved and dare not do it in front of me. Complaining, don’t you think that I am really blind and deaf, that I can’t see or hear anything?”
Someone said something like a complaint, which made old Mr. Kawei feel a little embarrassed.
As Lin's closest political ally, he clearly had the ability to break through such a predicament but did nothing, and even ignored the situation. This member of the great noble family is actually an accomplice, just to maintain a small tacit understanding between the nobles and the magicians.
Lin knew, but there was nothing he could say to change the situation. Fortunately, I put all this aside and don’t think about it so much.
As the saying goes, if you have no desires, you will be strong. In the past, I wanted a magic tower. In addition to the deep-rooted land mentality in my bones and wanting to have a home of my own, it was more to protect myself in this dangerous world.
As a single-player operable war fortress, the Magic Tower is the best choice, and no other option can compare. Or to develop power, follow the example of our hometown neighbor, Lord Takeda of the Japanese and Japanese Warring States Period, who is known as 'building a city based on people'.
It's just that the difficulty between the two is too different. The mind has to be caught in the door several times before a time-traveling house can choose the next path of fighting for kings and hegemony.
And the thoughts that had calmed down became active again because of this incident. That's why Lin is so proactive in dealing with many problems, no longer just pretending to be dead as long as he can. If I didn't put it off for a month, it would be a waste of my otaku nature.
But even if you become active, it doesn't mean that the problems in the past no longer exist now. It's just that I avoided facing it before, but now I have to face it.
Lin is not the kind of character who exploits his strengths and avoids his weaknesses. Besides, why do you want to do this? As long as you think deeply, these people who have been in the power circle for countless years will quickly figure it out. Therefore, Lin did not hide anything about the difficulties he faced and told them everything.
It's just that when things unfolded, the person who was originally so pale that he looked as if his whole family was dead suddenly became rosy again.
They know that the most dangerous thing in a circle of power is having no place to show off your strength. But as long as you have chips in your hands and a place to exert your strength, how much strength you can use and how much you gain depends on the ability of the person using it.
Since we know that this magician also wants something from him, and we also know that this opportunity has been won by everyone's tacit understanding for a long time, there is no reason not to find a way to make good use of it.
But they didn't think about it, if under normal circumstances, someone could slowly collect the materials to build a magic tower. I dare not say that after more than ten years in the holy city of Estali, I could collect all the materials to build a tower, but at least there is a beginning.
—Although someone’s income is staggering. But to build a regular magic tower, ordinary magicians need several generations of savings, and even Lin needs more than ten years, or even decades of accumulation.
In the past, I was able to fish out a Great Sage's Tower because there was only a soil embryo left in that tower, and it was still in a destroyed state. The most important thing is that the location is too remote and the local people's sentiments are not quite right. Only then did it fall into the hands of a certain time traveler,——
Now that we have a good start and we are facing needs on official business, we can generously ask the World Trees to sponsor us. Starting with the rare materials prefixed with 'World Tree' and various elven specialties, Lin was confident that he could assemble the building materials for two towers in a short time, even if they were a bit crude.
Anyway, the twin towers of the gate are built first. The basic functions are in place and can be gradually improved in the future. Then the door to the abyss would have been blocked long ago, and there wouldn't be as many troubles as there are today.
When Lin boasted to old Mr. Kawei that the problem could be solved within a day, he was not talking nonsense, but telling the truth.
The mixed soldiers and the organic fleet were dealt with. Although the complete Lord of the Abyss was difficult to deal with, the Haggiri with over 10,000 people was even more terrifying. Think of another way to get Fen and her former Dark Legion Guards Commander Stone to come over. Unless the Abyss Lords all come to the Lost Land today, there will be nothing that can't be solved.
But where did the materials for building the tower come from?
Are you just wasting your energy blocking the door, begging grandpa and grandma everywhere?
Is it possible to ask for it?
Let the devil in and play the role of raising bandits to respect yourself. To be honest, this is a last resort.
If you put in all the hard work from the beginning and then let go because the deal fell apart, you will give the devil a chance to wreak havoc. At that time, you will only be scolded worse, and you won't get any sympathy, and you will get even more nonsense and support.
The teachings of our ancestors: A good person will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridden by others. This statement is not groundless.
Now that I have confessed, a group of nobles who seem to be desperate for the death of their entire family and hopeless in life are glowing again. How could Lin not guess what these people were thinking? If he were in their position, he would have this expression.
If you don't take advantage of it, you're a bastard. If you can give away female tickets, who would be stupid enough to pay for it? The evil of human nature has no regard for status, time, place and race.
"Your Majesty the Great Magician." It was another old noble from the Haider Empire. Although he didn't show the full aristocratic arrogance on his face, the coquettish flavor in his bones still showed through. He said:
"I can understand how important your plan for the twin gate towers is to your Majesty the World Tree and to the entire Lost Land. But the cost of building the magic tower is not light at all, not to mention there are a lot of materials. It’s quite rare. It’s impossible for us to pay for all this in vain.”
This is a very high price. Lin had dead fish eyes and pointed his hand in the air. With his skilled whiteboard writing skills, he immediately outlined the design lines of the war tower that had been shown before, as well as the explanatory text. At the same time, he said: "Then, sir, how much do you think this design that can turn defeat into victory for mankind is worth?"
