Do you recognize all of them? Are there any elves who shouldn't be members of the Shenmu Guard? "
Taking over the water mirror screen displayed by Lin, Liena recognized the faces one by one and said: "These people are all members of the Shenmu Guards. It's just that they have not returned to the city since joining the guards, so the young People will be very unfamiliar with him."
"Is there any other transcendent person besides the Druid elder you mentioned and Ronan?"
"no, what happened?"
"Did you hear that the three elder druids, or extraordinary beings other than Ronan, went to pay homage to your king?"
"No..." Liena answered quickly. But as soon as the answer came out, even she sensed something was wrong.
"I don't know the duty rules of your Shenmu Guards, so I'm just asking casually, and you can answer according to the situation. Assuming that World Tree is their base, can they leave freely?"
"No, in essence, they are an army. Unless they have a mission, how can they leave at will? And becoming a member of the Shenmu Guards, this is their home, and they are brothers and sisters with each other, and the native There is no longer any relationship with the family. Their only mission is to protect His Majesty Lahti."
After hearing this, Lin's doubts became somewhat clear. The Wood Elf Divine Wood Guards don't have so many rules, but they do. The reason behind them is certainly worth pondering.
Because of Halumi's relationship, Lin also had some understanding of the wood elves' precepts. The rules that ordinary wood elves and their sacred wood guards must abide by are no different. The purpose of all precepts is actually to restrict one's own behavior.
The reason for restraining themselves is that the wood elf will enter into a soul contract with the World Tree from the moment he is born. That is, the two parties have a certain degree of deep connection, so the behavior of one party will inevitably affect the other party.
Just like for humans, behaviors such as indulgence, overeating, staying up late, etc. will affect physical health. For the World Tree, of course there are some behaviors that are not suitable for plants, which become the precepts of its contracting parties.
After all, the soul has established a connection with the big boss. When someone makes the boss feel unhappy physically and mentally, how can that person make the other person too comfortable? Over time, this became something everyone said "don't do", which is the origin of the commandments.
But no matter how restrictive these commandments are, they will not restrict human relationships. Just like the members of the Wood Elf's Divine Wood Guards, they can also become husband and wife with others, have children, and even travel abroad.
And when an organization begins to restrict the actions of its members, no matter what reason it uses, there must be some purpose behind it. It may be a noble and sacred goal, but it is more likely to be an ulterior one. However, when an organization within a kingdom ignores the royal power and says that there is no evil behind it, then it is really a waste to read so many years of works about various conspiracy theories.
In particular, a few elves were missing, which made someone particularly worried. The three Druid elders of the Kingdom of Pyat Jaime are extraordinary beings, and they have also lived through the era when the lich ruled the land around them. In other words, they were witnesses to the destruction of the Elf Kingdom once.
All this time, Lin was willing to take that lich around because her time was too far away. Even if he had done something horrific, no one involved or the victim would come forward to complain. But someone also knows very well that it is not surprising that people who have experienced that era appear in this magical side of the world.
But...it shouldn't happen by chance. That kind of person can't be found on the streets, you can find them everywhere.
And here are three…
Before coming to Yggdrasil's territory, of course someone first got the list of 'people who cannot be messed with' from Liena Titov. After learning about the three druid elders, Lin was still a little worried that when they saw the lich next to them, a catastrophe would erupt like a comet hitting the earth.
Fortunately, the worst thing did not happen, and the three Druid elders were not even seen. I originally thought that the elves had already communicated with the three old antiques first, so that they could see out of sight and see out of sight. Both sides got what they needed, and divided things when things were done, maintaining a false peaceful situation.
But now it seems that is not the case at all. The reason why the other party didn't show up was probably because there was a conspiracy behind it.
"Anyway, if you have free time in the past few days, go find your king and go on a few more tours. Don't let that sentimental young man feel lonely. Of course, don't leave the weapons and other things easily."
This elf sword dancer is not a little girl who has never seen the world. How could she not understand the hint of this human magician. So Liena Titov put on a worried look and asked: "Do you have more clear evidence about these things?"
"If there was clear evidence, I would have ignored the things here and run away first. I would still be telling you these things here."
Fen comforted his female companion at this time and said: "You have to believe that he is this kind of person. If something is wrong, he will definitely run faster than anyone else." However, the lich at this time revealed that someone had not seen it. He smiled brightly and said, "Then what should we do? Strike first and catch them off guard."
"My sister, maybe I just misunderstood. Don't mess with me."
Fen smacked his mouth with an expression of dissatisfaction and disappointment. Lin directly ignored this lich who was afraid of chaos in the world, and told the others: "Girl, you also need to be ready at any time, just like the standards of camping adventures. Even if you are not required to be fully armed, you should be. You must carry all your little things with you, and you must be vigilant. This is no different than in the Tower of the Great Sage, and it is far from an environment where you can relax your vigilance. And the things on the carriage must be ready at any time. I won't waste my time packing my things when I'm leaving and it's an emergency. Do you hear me?"
Because the tone was a bit harsh, the two girls nodded seriously. Hallumi thought of another group of people and asked, "Should we tell Jermaine and the others these things?"
"Telling that big mouth is no different from disclosing it to the whole world. Let's hide it from them first, so as not to over-stimulate the other party. Maybe if we don't have this idea at the beginning, we will be forced to do it." After thinking about it. , Lin added: "After all, they are very powerful, and it is not good for them to be completely unprepared. Liena, can I ask you to do something?"
"explain."
"Try to get the elves over there to ask the Silverbeard Dwarves to compete in martial arts with the peaceful armed forces. The elves should also be interested in the strength of the Silverbearded Dwarves' peaceful armed forces. Since I took them away from the dwarves' iron Since the city, no one has made such a request. So I think Jermaine and the others have little chance of refusing, because they are also curious about the strength level of the Peace Armed Forces in the outside world. The key is to keep them equipped with Peace Arms as much as possible Armed, otherwise it would take too long for the dwarves to put on their equipment and they would not be able to cope with the surprise attack."
"I remember that armor. Can't it move on its own?"
The female elf asked this. Lin didn't intend to save any face for the dwarf, and said directly: "Automated programs can only be used to do some simple tasks, or simply walk. If you want to fight, it's still far away. Don't count on it. . Or I can only rely on you to find a way to thread the needle and make those simple little guys obey obediently."
Liena had no reason to refuse the human magician's request. What's more, such a request is also a good reason for the elves to maintain arms. In order to be able to compete with the silver-bearded dwarves at any time, it is only reasonable for everyone to keep their equipment.
"Then what are you going to do?" Fen asked someone.
"Me? I'm going to try to find the missing Shenmu Guards. I have a feeling that they haven't left. I also asked Lahti about the whereabouts of these elves, but he doesn't know either. So I guess even in Within the scope of World Tree, there are still blind spots that He himself cannot observe."
"What about me?" Fen was a little less interested because she had already guessed the possible answer, but she still asked.
Lin didn't think too much about the lich's arrangement. This was because he didn't think he could command the lich. But since the other party asked first, Lin thought about it seriously for a while and said, "If possible, I hope you can stay in a visible place, but not show your face easily."
When Fen heard this, he knew what someone was up to and said, "This is to use me as bait to attract other people's attention."
"Yes. There is such a plan, but we don't know whether the other party will act according to our wishes. By the way, try not to get too close to the young king with your words."
"Are you afraid of giving them an excuse?"
"That's right, but I also hope that this is just me being overly concerned. But before finding out everything, there's no harm in trying to stabilize the other person first."
As if he agreed with someone's reason, Fen curled his lips in disbelief. The female elf sitting next to her seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Can I tell Lord Stashe about these things?"
"The Secretary of State for War? He's open to speculation, all kinds of 'I think' theories?"
"Maybe that adult doesn't agree with my old man, but he can still be trusted. Moreover, the attitude of the Shenmu Guards is different from what I have seen before. I don't believe that the adult is completely unaware. Let me make it clear. Attitude, letting that adult know what other people are thinking shouldn’t be a bad thing.”
After pondering for a moment, Lin said: "Basically I agree, but it's good if these words come out of your mouth, and there is no need to talk about our affairs. To avoid sounding like me, an outsider, is sowing discord, that way It’s easy to blur the original focus.”
"I got it. Then I'll leave first." Liena Titov jumped up nimbly, and then walked out pretending to be nonchalant. Lin took the opportunity to sweep away some of the remaining noodles in the pot.
Looking at the leftovers in the pot, someone thought of a comforting thought. Maybe the other party simply doesn't welcome us, so maybe they send us off in this way.
I just hope that all my worries are unnecessary.
