In the process of walking out of the sealed box, Cain flipped through the book in his hand with interest and asked casually: "Alan, is 'World Destruction' very powerful?"
"Of course," Allen had no resistance to the carbon-based woman and smiled like a dog-leg, "This forbidden spell-level magic comes from the 'Silent' essence, the 'Fire' path, and the Archangel Fubie of the 'Triumph' particle, cast It can awaken the ancient spirit of fire."
Li Liang glanced at the book in Cain's hand. The cover vaguely read: "A brief introduction to the essence of silence and the power of elements".
"Well..." Cain raised his head, "This book records the spells and rituals of 'World Destruction' in detail, and also introduces several casting tips."
"Ah, what's wrong," Allen said confused.
"So as long as the essence of silence is enlightened, any magician who chooses the path of flame can learn it?"
"Yes."
"Then..." Cain wondered, "What essence did you enlighten?"
"'Factor'," Allen said calmly, "I am an Ozumai, and we believe in the Throne of Elements."
"Does the 'factor' essence have forbidden spell level magic?"
"Yes, more than other elements."
"Do you know?"
"Of course not," Allen was stared at by Cain, "What exactly do you want to ask?"
"..."
At this time, Shenlan laughed for the first time: "She wants to ask, why don't you learn the forbidden spell."
Cain nodded.
Allen opened his mouth and murmured: "Do you have any misunderstandings about magic..."
"Actually, many creatures who have just come into contact with magic will think so," Shen Lan said with a non-surprised expression, "Magic has a very complete theoretical system, from the most basic summoning portal to the highest level forbidden spell, there are almost no secrets. There are still very few high-level magicians.”
"That's right," Cain held up the book and recited a spell: "Yan Xiwa is afraid of Boi~~~ Lusa."
"What is this?" K asked.
"The spell of 'annihilation of the world'," Cain handed the book over, and K read it again without being arrogant.
Li Liang remembered what Tam had taught him and sighed silently: "Because magic is essentially knowledge and a way to understand the spiritual world."
"Yes," Shen Lan said calmly, "Just like human science, Ms. Cain, with your current status, you can definitely read academic works on all subjects in human history at any time. So why didn't you become a scientist?"
Cain was stunned for a moment: "Why should I be a scientist..." She reacted and frowned, "It's different, magic is power."
"Isn't science a power?" Deep Blue shook his head, "Psychic technology is a powerful force that is no less powerful than magic. As far as I know, the Terrans have a weapon called an electronic degenerate matter railgun, which is enough to threaten A magician who reaches the level of 'Palace Leader'."
K retorted: "Magic is personal power..."
"Ahem," Allen muttered in a low voice, "I heard that there is one that can be operated by one person, and can only fire one shot..." Everyone looked at it at the same time, and he hurriedly spread his hands, "Don't look at me, I learned magic just to find someone." I can’t learn work, forbidden spells, etc., and I don’t want to learn them either.”
Shen Lan took out the game console from his pocket, lowered his head and started playing the game again, saying: "Magic and Taoism are actually very similar to science. How far you can achieve requires not only hard work, but also talent. There are many spiritual worlds The only ones are Gufu and mortals. Even if a life is lucky enough to have inspiration and learn magic and Taoism, it will only make life easier. There are so many extraordinary heroes. There have been no demigods in the spiritual world for many years. To be honest, Yes, Li Liang..."
Everyone stood there and watched Shen Lan walk away alone, muttering.
Allen said awkwardly: "He didn't talk so much before... Well, reading more books is always good. For those who have just enlightened the essence and passed the 'Soul Resurrection' test, who can't recite a few forbidden spells to show off? I I memorized more than ten forbidden curses at once."
Dr. Xisen asked curiously: "How do you learn magic?"
"It's best to study in a temple. It's more systematic and can enlighten you at the same time. If you study in a magic school or training class, you still have to go to the temple for enlightenment." Allen asked as if he was remembering something, "Li Liang, you Aren’t you going to build a temple at the Gate of Spiritual Reason?”
Li Liang was silent for a moment: "First focus on psychic technology."
He had thought about this problem. The growth of psychics was slow, and it would take a long time for them to be truly useful. At the moment, improving the level of psychic technology was the top priority. However, his own magic and Taoist learning must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
"Oh, but..." Allen's words were interrupted by a burst of noise, and people in the distance kept shouting "Chief of Staff".
Li Liang turned around and saw that Robben was back, much faster than expected.
"Let's have a meeting first."
——————————
Anchor Point Fort was being dismantled and a meeting was held at the communications base.
This was the first meeting after the delegation returned. The meeting was attended by Robben, Group, Zero One, Lanikaia's scientific director, as well as Li Ru, Dr. Xisen, Cain, K, and Li Shuang who were still present via projection. .
The main control room that served as the temporary meeting venue was a bit stuffy, and there were not enough chairs. Everyone was sitting or standing, and the arrangement was quite random. This meeting was more like a gathering of old friends. They talked in low voices in twos and threes, without restraint. Only the scientific director stood there. Luo Ben looked like a stiff sculpture.
Li Liang turned his back to everyone and turned around after a long time.
The main control room fell silent.
"Roben," Li Liang leaned on the console and crossed his arms and said, "Let's talk about the negotiation situation first."
"Okay," Robben stood up, paused, and spoke slowly, "Initially, the Law and Order Council intervened and provided a mediation plan that was clearly in favor of Makosik City, but was met with resistance from the Alliance and Du Yujing. After objecting, Do Ok Kyung kicked out the Law and Order Council and started four-party negotiations.
The negotiations mainly focus on three aspects: first, the distribution of the existing spiritual cores of the goblins; second, the location, area, garrison area and scale of the concession; third, the distribution of the spiritual core mines.
The focus is the Spirit Core Mine.
Before the negotiations began, through the relationship between Teemo and Bond, we collected detailed information on the seventeen spiritual core mines independently held by the goblins, and sorted them according to production capacity and takeover cost. We also learned that, as 'Nordasi As one of the main members of the Council of Er, the goblins can obtain a certain proportion of income from the eight spiritual core mines held by the Council of Nordrassil, and this part of the income is also included in the distribution scope.
In addition, we collected a large amount of information about the Terensa Holy Carbon-based Alliance, secretly met with Prince Mass, and learned about several spiritual core mines that the alliance and Du Yujing were focusing on. Then, we decided to first contact Alliance cooperation.
Facts have proved that this decision was correct.
At the beginning of the negotiation, Du Yujing continued to put pressure on Makosik, and the effect was remarkable. Makosik made great concessions on the issue of Linghe and the concession, but he was very determined on the issue of Linghe Mine. It was clear that at least six high-quality spiritual core mines were to be obtained, and the negotiations were temporarily suspended. It was not until the three emperors sent envoys to Makosik at the same time that the negotiations resumed.
We don’t know exactly what happened between the Three Emperors and Harlan Potter, but we can clearly feel that Marcosik lacks confidence. The Alliance took the opportunity to propose a new allocation method, with 4 seats for the Alliance, 5 seats for Du Yujing, and Makosik. There are 5 Sik buildings and 3 humans. In addition, in order to compensate for the spiritual core mines given up by the Alliance and humans, the proceeds from the elves in the Nordrassil Council will belong to the Alliance and humans.
This allocation plan took into account production capacity and takeover costs. Makosik’s five spiritual core mines were mixed, and the quality and quantity were far lower than the earliest proposals. To our surprise, Makosik agreed to this plan.
However, we cannot accept this result.
The three spiritual core mines assigned to us have no problem with their production capacity, but the aborigines in two of them have reached Type 2 civilization. Judging from the intelligence, the goblins have been managing these two spiritual core mines by supporting puppet governments. If we take over the nuclear mine, there is a high chance that a war will break out with the resistance organizations among the indigenous people during the transition period..."
Upon hearing this, Cain asked: "What is the level of Type 2 civilization?"
"Is the standard the same as our Kardashov index?" Dr. Sisson asked curiously.
Robben nodded: "It seems very close at the moment. Both civilizations use controllable nuclear fusion as the power source of the spacecraft, and are developing warp engines, initially realizing exploration and immigration within the star system."
Li Liang frowned.
There is no so-called spiritual core mine in the "Makosik Convention". It only stipulates that the coalition or dictatorship government recognized by the Law and Order Council has the right to decide whether the civilization is willing to jointly develop the base of the civilization with other civilizations. rational world. At first glance, there is nothing wrong with this agreement. Cooperation is purely voluntary. However, in actual operation, the invaders can support a puppet government and exercise high-pressure rule. As long as they deceive the Law and Order Council, their fundamental world will be destroyed. Completely reduced to a spiritual core mine, the goblin probably used this agreement to trick the heroic spirit into betraying Xi'an at first.
He has no interest in "saving" an alien civilization. What he is worried about is that with the current power of mankind, it will be difficult to control this level of civilization, especially if resistance organizations have appeared in these two civilizations. If the goblins come back, If they cause trouble and secretly instruct the spokesperson to ask the Law and Order Council to recognize the government again, they will have to spit out what they have taken into their mouths.
As soon as his thoughts changed, he whispered: "Go on."
"So, we held a three-party negotiation with the alliance and Du Yujing, requesting adjustments to the distribution of spiritual core mines," Robben said in a low voice. "At first, we were rejected by the alliance. In desperation, the group met with Prince Mass again." He glanced at the group.
The group stood up and continued: "The interior of Terencea is not monolithic. The emperor is old and dim, and many princes indulge in pleasure. There are three princes who are actually in power. Prince Caesar controls the Privy Council, Prince Angsa controls the army, and Prince Ilansa is in charge. Academy of Sciences, while the Prince of the Mass was always excluded from the center of power.”
Li Liang nodded.
Bond mentioned this. Mass is a conservative who has always opposed the rapid expansion of the alliance and has been severely marginalized. Speaking of which, internal struggles like this are indeed a unique skill of mankind. It does not sound new at all.
"It was only after we met again that I realized that this frustrated prince had the support of countless ancient Terransa families." The group lowered their eyes. "His courage and courage exceeded my expectations."
Robben said: "Prince Mass publicly stated that the Great Emperor Terransa values friendship with humans very much. At the same time, we also contacted as many allies as possible. In the end, the Yodels, Tifami people, and the Toad Royal Family , the High Priest of the Hidden Tower and Mr. Dododisar all issued public statements expressing their support for mankind. Under the pressure of the Privy Council, Angsa proposed a compromise plan.
The Alliance gave up one spiritual core mine to humans, but all the benefits of the eight spiritual core mines of the 'Nordrassil Council' belong to the Alliance. We recognized this plan and made an exchange request. The final result is that we Four spiritual core mines were obtained, three of which had very high quality conditions, and only one Type II civilization mine remained. "
"Well done," Li Liang said solemnly, "The mines of the 'Nordrassil Council' are a quagmire, and we should leave it to the Terensa Alliance to stir things up. Go ahead and talk about the conditions of the four mines. "
