In fact, the reason that everyone helped Lin Jie to come up with was not completely correct. He could make as many fire seeds as he wanted. Maybe it was not easy to find a second part of Snake King Odessa's elven core, but it was not that there was no substitute.
But Marco Lin knew better than anyone that the true value of the fire seed was its continuous transformation of elemental creatures. After establishing a soul connection with the transformed creature, it would grow. If the entire Earth Elemental Plane was really overturned and given a new direction of evolution, then the fire seed would very likely become the second Spirit of Mother Earth and completely replace the first.
Under such a premise, what was the point of creating a second and third fire seed to divide the power of the first fire seed that could replace the Spirit of Mother Earth? Looking for trouble for himself? Or increasing the number of fire seeds to reduce the weaknesses of the earth elemental creatures? The game of two peaches killing three soldiers had been played in his hometown for thousands of years. If the earth elemental creatures each had a fire seed, then there would be no room for them to operate.
As for holding onto the fire seed after it was completed, he could use it to control the existence of the entire Earth Elemental Plane. Well, there was another saying in his hometown: A man's wealth is his own ruin. Not to mention the other existences that coveted the power of the fire seed, they would be happy to find trouble with him. The Earth Elemental Plane would not be peaceful either.
Under the pressure from both inside and outside, would he be able to withstand it? Or would he have to spend a lot of effort to withstand it?
After thinking for a moment and looking at everyone's eager eyes, Lin Jie said, "Borrowing the power of the Elemental Spirits is my goal, controlling the fire seed is not. So I can make an agreement with you. After you fully fulfill my conditions, this fire seed will be handed over to you. And before that, I will take care of it and make sure that you are willing to fulfill your agreement with me when you get the knowledge. Is this okay? "
O 'Brien and the others who had already been transformed looked at each other and felt that there was no problem with this condition, so they nodded. If this matter was not mentioned by Iron Wrist, they would not have noticed it. Now that it was mentioned, and this good friend who had helped them was willing to continue to compromise, then the conditions that they had agreed to at the beginning were even more important. They had no reason to object.
Ironwrist still wanted to haggle, but seeing that his old neighbors had already agreed, what should he do if he continued to raise his request and the impatient mage really gave up on him? A certain elemental creature was in a dilemma. However, in this dilemma, Ironwrist thought of a loophole. He asked, "Magician, what if you die before we can fulfill our promise to you?"
This is indeed a problem. After all, the lifespan of humans is simply too short compared to yours. But if that happens, all the authority that belongs to the Pyro Company will be inherited by my companions. Lin pointed at Fen, who was standing behind him. After all, she had helped him create the Fire Seed. Moreover, the whole thing had been done for her in the first place. So if I'm not around, it's reasonable for her to accept everything, right? '
Compared to the lifespan of mortals, elemental creatures lived as long as the heavens. Therefore, if one party to the contract died, the heir would take over. This was a basic operation for the elemental spirits. However, Ironwrist did not want to keep this promise and wait for the day when it was fully fulfilled. He said:
"Magician, you should know better than any of us the significance of the Fire Seed to our companions. If you don't fulfill the conditions, then wouldn't the lifeline be in your hands? Such an unfavorable situation cannot allow others to accept the transformation with peace of mind. So I suggest that regardless of whether the conditions are fulfilled or not, at the moment your life ends, the Fire Seed will be handed over to us … for safekeeping. Of course, the heir you have appointed still has the right to ask us to fulfill the agreement. "
Even though he looked miserable and was lying in the dust, Ironwrist's words did not reduce his greed. He made an additional request, even though he tried to cover it up. Perhaps in the hearts of his companions, it was called wisdom.
However, Lin scoffed at this seemingly reasonable request. He said, "I will not agree to this condition, my friend from the Moonlight Gulf. — "
When Lin said this, O 'Brien and the others were slightly dissatisfied with a certain magician's rejection of a condition that was beneficial to their group.
The reason was simple. "If I agree, the Fire Seed will be handed over to you after my death. Even if you are willing to fulfill the agreement, in that case, the best choice for you is to kill me as soon as possible, because this will allow you to control the Fire Seed as soon as possible. Why should I agree to such a condition that has obvious loopholes, and is even asking for my own death? "
Lin pointed out the loopholes in the condition, causing O 'Brien and the others' dissatisfaction to turn into shame. They had never thought of cheating this friend of theirs. Ironwrist, on the other hand, was thick-skinned and continued to say, "Magician, if you are worried about this problem, we can make another agreement …"
"Stop!" Lin reached out and stopped Ironwrist, who was about to continue with his persuasive speech, and said, "No matter how much you try to fill in the loopholes, there will always be flaws. No matter how much you try to fix it, there will always be areas that you did not notice, so it is better not to consider this from the beginning. I will only ask one thing: do you accept the transformation or not? "
Seeing this magician's decisive words, Ironwrist knew that there was no room for further discussion. O 'Brien also said, "Ironwrist, don't think too much. This knowledge is as vast as the ocean, the beauty of it can only be understood after personally experiencing it. What others can see is only the most insignificant part. "
"Alright, how do you want me to cooperate?"
O 'Brien only thought of Ironwrist in persuading his neighbors of Moonlight Bay to accept the transformation of the fire seed, and he only recognized Ironwrist. This was because Moonlight Bay and Westwind Valley were considered beginner villages among the elemental creatures. As the leaders of the settlements, what they needed to do was not to accept the protection of others, but to strive to be the first in everything and stand at the forefront of everyone. Otherwise, they would not receive the support of others.
In the real world, with the best technology, the newest knowledge, and the most precious materials, if a leader did not use them on himself first and maintain his own advantage, how could he lead others?
In such an atmosphere, as long as he could take down the current leader of Moonlight Bay, then the others would definitely join. That was why O 'Brien spared no effort to use Ironwrist as a breakthrough point. He did not think of persuading others. When the general situation was established, the others would turn around and force Ironwrist to agree. This kind of negotiation was crossing the line for them.
Ironwrist also understood this, so after experiencing the strength of O 'Brien's new power, he had always wanted to fight for more things. But this plan did not seem to be possible.
