"If you do this, aren't you afraid of losing control?" Fen asked.
For someone who once controlled an undead legion, controlling their creations was a matter of course. Fen never thought that she shouldn't do such a thing.
Not to mention that a certain person's style of doing things has always been to hold back. If he can open a back door, he will. If he can secretly control something, he will. Whether it was the Tower of the Great Sage in the past, the forum that is almost soaked in the blood of lost people, or the customized car in the later stage, as far as Fen knows, a certain person has always held back.
According to her experience, giving the controlled object too much room to grow is tantamount to giving the other party a chance to break away from your control. This is very disadvantageous for the side that exerts effort. That's why she asked this question.
Lin didn't evade such a question, but responded: "If this matter succeeds, it will be a matter of great importance to the whole world. It's just like how I help the world trees, hoping to break the existing shackles and find a way to ascend. Under such a premise, is it a good choice to restrain the life forms of an entire world? If you don't say it at the beginning and someone finds out later, it's just like forming a life and death grudge, with endless troubles in the future. If you say it at the beginning, it's like giving others two choices. One is to maintain the status quo, and the other is to exchange their freedom for greater power. If it were you, what would you do? I believe that there will still be people who choose the latter, but by no means will everyone do so. What you want is the whole world to walk the path you paved, or it doesn't matter if it's only half a world. "
Fen raised her eyebrows and said impatiently to someone's long-winded speech: "So?"
"Don't try to control. I want to say take everything into your own hands. What we want is very simple. After the spirit of the earth elemental agrees, we just need to borrow its power. Of course, maybe you want more. But my advice is to not reveal any thoughts of this before collecting the power of the four elements. … "
A certain person's hint made Fen understand the other party's plan. It's not that a certain person doesn't plan to fully control the power of the four elements, but he hasn't reached that step yet. First come into contact with the power of the four elements and control a part of it. If there is a chance to go further, I believe that he won't let it go.
Moreover, his plan for the Four Spirit Robes was that he could only control part of the Four Spirit Robes. Whether or not he would proceed to the next step would depend on his mood and whether or not he could take advantage of the opportunity.
"… What we can do is to secretly leave a back door that we can use, but that won't be harmful even if we are discovered. Even if they were discovered, they could say that they weren't good enough at the beginning of the design, or that it was an accident. But at the critical moment, this trump card can play an unexpected role, even if it can only be used once. "
"Is this your entire plan?" Fen asked.
"Of course not. Selfless giving won't work. In exchange, they allowed us to borrow the power of the Earth Elemental Spirit, and they would fight for us in the face of trouble from the other three Elemental Planes. As for the second point, they naturally wouldn't agree to endless sacrifices and battles. So where should we draw the line? It's time to wrangle. "
"Using them to fight?"
"Why not? I sacrificed so many brain cells, spent so much time, and helped them so much, only to reap the Earth Elemental Spirit. As a result, it would be too painful to do the same thing in the Water Elemental Plane, Fire Elemental Plane, and Wind Elemental Plane. Wouldn't it be foolish to not use such a strong force? And as long as we get the support of this new group of Earth Elemental Life Forms and show enough strength, it might be easier to negotiate with the other three Elemental Planes later. Unlike us who went to look for the Ruby Man, we would be treated as a fat sheep. "
Since they had already thought this far, Fen had no reason to disagree. But looking at the man's unconcealable cheerful expression, she suddenly had a feeling and asked: "Apart from making a big mistake in the previous negotiations, you didn't do anything positive. You didn't want the negotiations to collapse from the beginning, and then do what you're planning to do now, right? "
"Did I? Was I that obvious? "Lin showed an expression of having his prank discovered and said with a smile.
"Hey, what other rotten ideas do you have in your head? Say them all." Fen's question was obviously not directed at the person involved, but at the weapon that could peek into other people's minds.
Cassette Cutting cooperated and replied: "You're asking me? Even though you asked me sincerely, I still won't tell you. I definitely won't admit that what someone is thinking about is driving the Red Lotus Naked Eye and drilling a planet. "
A certain Lich shot a sharp glare over, and Lin's eyes immediately drifted away, pretending as if nothing had happened. He was just short of whistling and shaking his feet.
Fen thought: As expected, this guy's thoughts are not pure. Those things might be what he wants to do himself, and my own things are just incidental.
It's a pity that someone's thick skin can't see through a mere glare. Fen sighed for no reason and asked: "Where do you plan to start? That big snake? "
Back to business, of course, Lin couldn't continue to play dumb. He quickly replied: "It can't be the Snake King Odessa."
"Why?"
"Strictly speaking, Odessa is also a pure-colored Elemental Lord in the Elemental Plane of Earth. It's just that the material and size of the body he chose made it impossible for him to reach the peak of the current system. If it's the system I envisioned, if the pure-colored elemental creatures don't want to change and are unwilling to give up their existing bodies, they will inevitably be eliminated. The ideal target is still a mixed elemental creature, and it has to be ambitious, or rather, motivated. "
Hearing someone list such clear conditions, Fen asked: "You have a target?"
"You said that the first settlement we encountered after we arrived in the Elemental Plane of Earth, the ironstone people, are good?"
"Reason?"
"They're mixed elemental creatures. And from what we've observed in the Elemental Plane of Earth these days, even if the ironstone people's settlement isn't the lowest level, it can't be that high. From another point of view, even if we really mess up, the scope of the damage should be limited. And their level is low, so they'll be easier to persuade than those elemental creatures who already have a strong foundation. As long as they have the ambition to continue to grow, what we're doing is just providing an opportunity. "
"Then have you ever thought about what would happen if things didn't develop as you imagined in the latter half?" Fen asked. Although such a small matter wouldn't make her worry, Fen still wanted to know if the man in front of her had considered this aspect.
"What you mean is that if we do foster a new force that's different from the original conservative forces, but this force can't be used by us, what will we do?"
Fen nodded instead of answering.
Lin smiled and said: "Isn't that simple? It's impossible for the new and old forces to coexist peacefully. As long as they clash, the water will be muddied, and we'll have the opportunity to insert ourselves. Isn't that right? Ruling an Elemental Plane wasn't our initial plan. "
"Oh." Fen replied. Fen stared at him for a short while and said: "I increasingly feel that what you're preparing to do now is what you really want to do."
