Seeing the curious looks of a group of people, Lin did not show off and said with a smile: "To withstand the energy tide of the gap between dimensions, the most important thing is to rely on the natural magic array pattern on the tree. This is the talent of the World Tree. And to advance, you have to The magic array pattern on the body must be rebuilt so that it can adapt to the impact of higher dimensions. But——"
Pointing to the situation outside, that was the direction of the World Tree.
"——The tree has been dug with holes and scars, and there are even people living in it. When it comes to promotion, do you think that dreamy-looking tree-shaped village will bring good things or bad things? I think first of all What happened was that the people living in it couldn't withstand the impact, so they died first. Then because the World Tree had many loopholes, it couldn't provide perfect protection, and the defense line would eventually be breached. With luck, most of it was lost. A life; unlucky, it just happened to be the coffin board of the spirit inside, and he was buried with it.——"
Looking at the unbelieving expressions of a group of people, Lin Youxiao explained,
"——Don't think I'm talking nonsense, a metaphor can make you understand. Wearing peaceful weapons like a silver-bearded dwarf, you can let the enemy shoot arrows and there will be no problem. But if today's armor is missing an arm and a chest If a piece of my forehead is missing and there are loopholes everywhere, will it be completely fine if I am shot by the enemy, or will something big happen if I am unlucky? So if it were me, I would not act rashly in this situation. Choose World Tree to advance."
At this time, Lin relaxed his hand, and the Sanhua kitten ran out, looking at someone warily. Lin also looked at the kitten and continued: "That violent energy is unimaginable for ordinary people. It is impossible for you not to understand. Then why don't you make full preparations and wait until you are more confident to implement the plan? Yours Life is so long, you can’t wait.”
"Then we can't do anything and everything remains the same?" the young king said bitterly.
"Of course not." From the bag on his sleeve, Lin took out a magic stone that recorded some programming language, which really made the Sanhua kitten's eyes brighten. He smiled and actually started playing with the cat. At the same time, he said: "The way the wood elves choose to coexist with the World Tree is a choice; the way you choose to coexist is also a choice. These can be said to be two extremes. But other than that, there can be no other options. . A choice that doesn’t have to treat the World Tree so cruelly, and doesn’t have to worry about retaliation or being restricted. If there is such a method, I believe there won’t be too many elves who insist on following the old path.”
"How can such a good thing happen?" Ridan III smiled bitterly again.
"Try to find a way out, young man. Isn't this the responsibility of a king? Find a way to be fair and treat all citizens well. Or do you think that World Tree is not one of you, so you can only accept that it is not Fair treatment.”
"but……"
Regarding the hesitation in the king's words, Lin probably knew what the other party was worried about. So he said: "It is difficult and very simple to resolve hatred. The important thing is to find a bridge to communicate between the two parties. As long as good communication can be maintained, differences between the two parties can be eliminated, and common interests can be found, no hatred will last forever. . In view of this, I can recommend a candidate. "
"Who?" Except for the young king, this was also the question asked by most of the elves present. There was even an Archdruid on the other side of the communication magic circle who said in an unhappy tone: "Is it you, human being? How much price do we have to pay to allow you to accept this mission?"
Someone ignored the sarcastic words and said directly: "The person you all know, well, I guess, is the little princess Valeria."
"My little sister?" Ridan III asked doubtfully.
"Based on the news I heard. If it's not wrong, the spirit of the World Tree that was originally wiped out unexpectedly revived when your little princess came to receive the blessing. This means that there must be something between the two. There's a correlation. Of course, I don't know if it's good or bad, but it's always a breakthrough, which is much better than being in the dark."
"But..." The young king who loved his sister was still hesitant.
Lin smiled at this. Using a quick technique that could not be seen by others, he grabbed the calico kitten in his hand again. Holding his forelimbs under his ribs, he faced the saddened Ridan III and said, "Or are you worried that your sister will be hurt by this beast?" At this time, Lahti cooperated and tried to pretend to be very serious. With a fierce expression, his fangs were exposed, and he meowed in a milky voice...
Seeing His Majesty's cute appearance, Ridan III also felt that he was thinking too much. As for my sister's courage as a newborn, she is not afraid of tigers, and she doesn't know who will bully whom. Although his frown was relaxed, he still asked again as if to confirm: "Is this really possible?"
"No matter what kind of creature, infancy is the time of greatest plasticity. If the Kingdom of Pyat Jaime is willing to find another symbiotic path with World Tree, now is the best time. Besides, no matter which extreme you plan to go to, It takes time to prepare, and it seems that those preparations cannot be completed in a moment. So you still have a lot of time to argue, and there is no need to rush to complete it."
If he wanted to help the World Tree advance, Lin guessed that it would take at least ten years to restore the tree to its best condition and rely solely on natural growth. Are there any other ways to speed up growth? Probably to grab other world trees to nourish itself. Although he had a World Tree seed given by Waldwo on hand, Lin had no intention of contributing it selflessly. Maybe bringing back earth species would be a good choice?
If the elves choose to obliterate the consciousness of the World Tree again, considering that the power of resentful spirits accumulated by the God-Slaying Magic Array for a long time has been wiped out by a certain lich for the sake of public benefit. If you want to reopen the God-Slaying Formation, you won't be able to escape a very large-scale sacrifice, and that scale will probably not be enough to fill the entire Pyat Jaime Kingdom.
"What are your future plans?" Ridan III asked about someone's future movements, and the elves present all listened with their ears straightened.
"The temporary plan is to stay for a while and do some inspections for His Majesty Lahti according to the previous plan. Otherwise, I am just guessing about some things. Whether it is right or wrong depends on the final evidence. And the World Tree is not I can see it everywhere, and I have some research that requires the cooperation of World Tree. Of course, I will only do it with your consent."
"This is great. We will definitely try our best to cooperate with your request." Ridan III held someone's hand. The other party was so frightened that the magic stone in his hand fell down and was swallowed by the kitten.
As if he didn't see someone's embarrassment, the young king stood up and said to his ministers: "My lords, you have heard clearly what Lord Tripwood said." Regarding His Majesty Lahti's matter, we will postpone the decision. The centaur bandits are still within the borders of the country, and their annihilation is the top priority. '
'promise. ’ After answering, the generals went back to commanding the encirclement and suppression of the Centaurs.
However, the news returned from various places all proved that this defeated Centaur army was still quite organized and capable of action. Many elven armies that had not yet fully assembled collapsed at the first touch and failed to stop the opponent at all. This kind of contrast makes the elves with military backgrounds more enthusiastic about a certain weapon.
Lin was a little confused at first about being left behind by both the young elf king and his old minister who was not surprised when he kicked his legs. Maxim Stashe, the minister of war, did not have so many scruples about his king's cowardly appearance. He had dealt with many magicians and knew this kind of people, so he asked directly:
"Sir Tripwood. We want to buy weapons like the ones you used on the battlefield against the centaurs. I wonder how much you are willing to pay?"
"Haha." Lin smiled lukewarmly. Of course he knew what the elves were planning. Perhaps the intellectual property rights of magic are protected by the Magicians Association, but weapons are not. For example, the ship-cutting knife that was sold during the Tower of the Great Sage era, and then heard related news, has become the standard weapon of an empire's elite troops, who should I ask to explain this.
Regardless of whether the elves intend to imitate it or treat it as a sacred weapon and collect it as a national treasure, Lin has no intention of selling this M134. Not only is it indeed an epoch-making hot weapon; more importantly, the M134 is far from being a commercial product.
It's like building an airplane. The airplane you build must at least be able to fly into the sky and not fall down inexplicably. Only at this time do you consider building and selling it while researching it, and use other people's money as your own research funds. If that kind of aircraft is sold before it even gets off the experimental bench and it is not known whether it can fly safely to the sky, it will destroy your own reputation and credibility.
In the war against the centaurs, regardless of the power of the M134 multi-barreled machine gun, it actually took advantage of Yggdrasil. The key point lies in the four words "infinite energy".
The power utilization efficiency of the magic gun has always been criticized by the three women. Especially the rough and high-speed M134, its energy conversion efficiency is as low as less than 5%, and the rest is turned into entropy.
For the magazine originally matched with the M134, the magic stone is placed as the main energy supply component. After being filled with high-quality magic stones, it can fire between 1,700 and 2,200 rounds... which means that if you hold on to the trigger, it will go soft in up to 22 seconds. Compared to its close relatives on Earth, a magazine can hold at least four thousand rounds of bullets, which is really a big difference.
With the same number of magic stones, you can buy so many things, cast so many magics, and do so many things. But it only lasts twenty-two seconds on the M134, let alone machine gun fire. Most of the time it is digging sweet potatoes.
Someone's previous miss rate was only 66%. It was purely because the centaurs had no experience in fighting firearms and charged with a phalanx. This was the result. If an enemy comes who knows how to attack with skirmishers, the hit rate will be even lower.
These flaws are the reason why the two apprentices have always disliked this weapon. Such a waste!
Knowing these shortcomings, Lin did not expose his shortcomings, but said: "The dwarves are also very interested in such weapons, and I also agree to let them try to integrate them into peaceful weapons. Maybe we can look at the achievements of the Silverbeard Dwarves first. , let’s talk about other things, how about it?”
Old elves who are accustomed to the ways of the world probably know that this can be regarded as a way for merchants to raise prices. But so what? Do you have the bargaining power? I'm not afraid of this guy pointing his gun at me. Although Maxim Stashe sighed in his heart, he said verbally: "Of course, as you wish."
