In fact, he could not come up with much evidence to support his conjecture. However, the balance and cycle of ecology was an argument that had been verified by Earth. What he could not prove was the relationship between the World Tree and magical power.
However, what kind of existences were present here? They understood many things, but they had never thought about 'why'. It was as if things would fall, and everyone was used to it. Only the great Isaac Newton thought about why, and then it became the pain of physics for high school students in later generations.
In other words, the Magic Towers were erected, and the war between the World Trees was forced to stop. However, it unexpectedly allowed them to discover a different path of growth. Otherwise, they would continue to weaken in the civil war. In the end, the World Trees would meet the end of extinction, and the maze world would enter the end of the era. It was almost foreseeable.
After coming to this conclusion, Lin could not help but feel pity for the World Trees that had fallen into ashes in the past. If they were all still here, how powerful would the overall strength of the bewildering land be today?
However, even if the World Trees had known about this, the outcome would not have changed. As long as it was a living creature, the first thing they would consider was themselves, and then the entire race. When the two were placed on two ends of a scale, the nobility and the nobility would depend on the direction in which the scale was tilted.
For the World Trees, the dimensional mysteries obtained by plundering not only guaranteed their success, but the accumulation of plundering could also shorten their advancement process. Who would really give up what was near and seek what was far away and choose to slowly accumulate their strength? It could be said that the erection of the Magic Towers and the greed of the Mages had unexpectedly prevented, or rather, delayed, the end of the era that belonged to the maze world.
Since the shortcut of plundering was no longer feasible, it seemed acceptable to take a longer route and reach the destination as long as they could. Therefore, the 19 high priests who were present at that time came to a conclusion almost instantly.
"Now, the high priests of the Turtledove Alliance have agreed to disclose the advancement method to all the World Trees. In addition to the XIX (19) high priests of the Alliance, it also includes the IV (4) World Trees on the surface and the II (2) World Trees underground. "
The maze world was very small for the World Trees. Therefore, they knew very well how many of their kind there were, even if some were in special circumstances.
After the Alliance meeting ended, before leaving, Wadwell told the only human he knew about the situation of the World Tree outside the Alliance. He also hoped that he could be a middleman to contact the other World Trees so that they could join the alliance.
However, the other World Trees did not establish Wood Elf Tribes, and there were various reasons why they were unwilling or unable to join the Turtledove Alliance. Therefore, such a commission was nothing more than an idle chess piece to the high level members of the alliance. Whether it would succeed or not, they had never expected it.
Among them, Fathnus, who already had eight World Bubbles hanging from his body, was clearly showing his desire. He did not hide the fact that he had been at his limit for too long.
In the last bit of time he could still fight, the cores of countless young World Trees could no longer allow him to advance at all. At one time, he thought that he could only find his old rival, Yuktrasir of the underground world. He needed the core of the existence that was older than him to break through his current situation.
After all, it was rumored that the battle between the two World Tree Ancients was the biggest reason why the elves had split into the Gold Elves and Dark Elves. A relatively large number of Dark Elves had joined the Spider Queen's camp, but that was even later.
However, the continuous advancement of Walder and Zoriana made him feel that the shackles called the limit had loosened, which led to this meeting.
In terms of conclusion, all the high level members of the alliance were very satisfied. The establishment of the Turtledove Alliance was actually more like a place where a group of losers huddled together for warmth. There was no future for them, if a large-scale invasion by humans or goblins could be considered a future.
However, everything was different now. It was natural for plants to grow toward the sun. How could the World Trees ignore such an opportunity to grow? Moreover, it was clear that the more World Trees participated in this matter, the more beneficial it would be for the entire race. Therefore, the high level members of the alliance were open to those of the same race who did not join.
In any case, even if those trees did not help in this matter, they could not be a hindrance. Unless they self-immolated and reduced the number of World Trees in the Lost Land.
After understanding the attitude of the high level members of the Turtledove Alliance, the high level members of the elves could not help but be glad that they had let the young people leave first. This secret was too shocking. Most importantly, no one knew what kind of choice the countries that could not "own" the World Trees would make.
There had always been a theory among the human nobles, which was to find a way to cut off all possibilities of personal greatness. Only then could the country truly be above the individual, unlike now, where there were always individuals who did not care about the country's power and destroyed the order that had been established with great difficulty.
All the old elves thought of this problem in an instant and looked at the person in front of them worriedly. Luca Titov asked, "Your Excellency, you didn't tell anyone else about this matter, did you?"
"Of course," Lin said matter-of-factly.
This startled the group of white-haired old men, who asked, "Who did you tell?"
Lin Li pointed to the side. Lich did not attend the high level meeting with him back then. Of course, she only knew about this after he told her. Sensing the elves' gazes, Fen said frivolously, "Don't worry about me. I don't care about these things."
"That's good." Luca Titov looked at Lin Li with a harmless expression and asked, "Apart from Sir Tikal, did you tell anyone else about this matter?"
"Of course not. This matter has nothing to do with others. Even if I told them, they wouldn't be able to help. Instead, they would ask me all sorts of questions. How could I bring trouble upon myself? "Lin Li's attitude was that it had nothing to do with him.
After getting the most ideal reply, the elves breathed a sigh of relief. If it wasn't for the fact that the person in front of them still had value, they would have considered the possibility of silencing him. Maybe it would be good to do so after the fact? But that demon king was also an insider. How would she silence him? The elves were distressed. But Luca Titov was the first to get rid of these meaningless thoughts. He asked again.
"Your Excellency, you said …" A certain old elf unconsciously used honorifics, although he didn't realize it, "… even if we know the method, we may not necessarily dare to use it. But it seems that the high level members of the Turtledove Alliance are happy to see this matter succeed and won't stop us. So why wouldn't we dare to use it? "
"Because I only have a general understanding of you elves' attitude towards world trees. Therefore, the following is my irresponsible guess. Please listen to me first, and correct me if I'm wrong. "After drinking a mouthful of water and clearing his throat, Lin Li started a new topic.
"My research with Wadwo has devised a series of methods. It's like a warrior who has learned various martial skills, but in actual battle, they will have different responses to different situations. In different environments, they will have different offensive methods. Simply put, it's not like a wizard. So long as the ritual is carried out smoothly step by step, the final ritual will be completed. "
"Is there a problem?" The elves were still puzzled.
"Well, I heard that the world trees planted by the Elven Kingdom have been deprived of the opportunity to awaken their consciousness. They can only be used as a source of various magic materials. In order to use that method, the computing speed required was not something that mages could achieve. I don't know how fast elves can do it. Let's say that they are 10 times faster than the strongest human. Do you know what 10 times means? That is, a single elf can be faster than 10 humans working together. But even so, to be honest, that's not enough. The best way is to let the world tree control everything by itself. What kind of situation it encounters and what kind of reaction it has to make, it doesn't need to be conveyed. It's up to others to decide what to do. And this requires the release of the world tree's consciousness. But do you dare to do this? Or should I ask, is it appropriate to do this? "
Perhaps on Earth, Skynet only existed in the Terminator movies. But in the mysterious land, the silver-bearded dwarves and their guardians were living examples that Lin Li had seen with his own eyes. If the world tree was only treated as a renewable resource for a long time and was constantly harvested, as long as there was a trace of resentment, then what would happen when the world tree gained consciousness? Lin Li didn't dare to imagine.
But after these words were said, the elves looked at Lin Li strangely. After a moment, Luca Titov said, "These things were told to you by the wood elves, right?"
"Yes."
"You believe that kind of thing?"
"Why not? And the situation I saw seems to support such an argument. But this doesn't mean that my thoughts can't be changed, so I'm also looking forward to your side's explanation, and then I'll judge for myself. "
"Okay." This matter ultimately fell on the man in front of them and the world tree. If it was because of a misunderstanding, if it was a malicious guess that the other party might secretly do something bad, and if it was a kind guess that the other party misjudged because he didn't understand enough, then it wouldn't be good for what would happen next, so the elves had to open their mouths to explain. Moreover, in this matter, no one had a guilty conscience, so naturally, there was nothing that couldn't be said.
The crux of the matter was still the "World Tree's commandments." Perhaps for other races, it was just a verbal promise and self-discipline. But for the elves, it was a sacred oath that required the soul to form a contract with the world tree, and the consequences of violating it would be very serious.
But the whole set of rules, including work, rest, diet, behavior, and even sexual behavior, was not something that all elves could accept willingly. More importantly, those commandments were not conducive to the development of the country, and too many restrictions were like choking the elves' development. Helpless, the elves no longer let the newborns directly form a contract with the world tree, but let them decide for themselves after they grew up.
