Offer for Chapter 216

In William’s view, the current changes in the Holy Tree Temple of the Holy Mother are itself It is the best symbol of Riel Empire’s conquest of Ravenwood.

This is not the case with the Holy Tree Temple in the past – it has no traces of artificial carving, no decorative magic crystal lamps, no regular and symmetrical internal structure… In short In short, it does not have all the solemnity and solemnity given by man, but a more primordial and natural state.

Although it is called the temple in the past, but in essence, it is just an ancient, winding and deep tree hole. In the past, the ancestors of the forest elves were in this darkness, and after sucking the sap with strong hallucinogenic effect, they saw the existence of the “big mother” in the vision that was enough to paralyze and kill, and they communicated with him. Create a connection in the soul.

The temple itself is the embodiment of the forest elves’ philosophy of fuse together with nature.

Whether it is the “Big Mother” or the “Father of the Wilderness”, as long as it is something that builds the cornerstone of the forest elves’ cultural beliefs, it will more or less reflect the elements of the life cycle. Reproduction, growth, death, and the dead become part of the new, and the mortal races with the limitation of lifespan reach the infinite from the finite through the cycle of life. Everything is an integral part of the great cycle.

It can be said that Ravenwood’s philosophy is completely opposite to the style of human beings that requires continuous expansion and plunder, and continuous improvement and progress through consumption behavior – it can even be considered that the two sides are at the two extremes of civilization. .

Of course, William has no intention of commenting on the pros and cons of the two forms of civilization. Anyway, just looking at the results, the seven Holy Spirit holy emblems that symbolize the cornerstone of the empire’s beliefs have now been moved into this temple as a victor. This shows that at least at the level of violence, the forest elves who emphasize fuse together with nature cannot be compared with the human beings who transform and even enslave nature.

In the most sacred place in the faith of the forest elves, the seven Holy Spirit symbols of the alien beliefs are placed, and even the “big mother” itself, which is the core of the faith, must be attached to the Holy Spirit church. Worship is allowed only on the “mother”. According to William’s impression of the forest elves, this is definitely a trauma that can shake the foundation of the entire race’s beliefs.

So the effect of William’s earlier statement is particularly pronounced.

His voice fell, and the originally quiet expression on the face of this “ebony Your Majesty” was ignited almost instantly. His chest bulged like a bellows, breathing heavily in the damp air of the temple, and the ash-gray fur draped around him rose and fell – making him look more like an enraged lycanthrope .

Considering the reason for the anger of the other party – the spiritual temple of the forest elves actually enshrines the belief of human beings, Totem. William thought with a bit of wickedness, but unfortunately the other person was wearing deer antlers instead of bull horns.

Fortunately, the loss of control was just a moment, and the other party did not make any unwise actions because of this, and even his face quickly returned to the previous calm expression.

“If it weren’t for the revelation of the Great Mother that never went wrong, I would never have imagined that the prophecy that would liberate us from the tyranny of the empire would actually be a human being.”

took a deep breath, Ebony said so instead of answering William’s question directly.

Although his expression returned to calm, his voice contained a little more pent-up anger than the calm he had previously maintained in order to play tricks.

It sounds like he’s trying to save some face for his previous lost self-control, but in William’s view, it doesn’t make any sense – at least this It’s not like an attitude of asking for others.

After lowering his evaluation of the other party in the heart again, William opened the mouth and said:

“Wait a second, how can you be so sure that I will definitely be willing Did it help you? Just because you saw the hallucination of the ‘big mother’ after drinking high World Tree sap? Besides, you don’t even know who I am, it’s just the first time we met, you didn’t even try You dare to hold me behind closed doors and talk about big plans? Aren’t you afraid that I’m a spy from the Empire?”

If Li Shimin had dared to play like this back then, he would have been messed up before he got to Xuanwu Gate. Arrow shot dead.

If the other party is really this level of stuff, then even William’s Emerald Province is really planning to help the forest elves get rid of the empire’s control, so as to expand their power. He is also absolutely reluctant to be an ally with such an IQ person.

In comparison, even the pro-imperial establishment that incorporates Emerald Province is much more reliable. At the very least, there is a high probability that he is willing to fight with the empire because of his own interests. For that kind of person, he can implement the policy of carrot and stick.

A greedy person can maintain a minimum of rationality, and this rationality can be the cornerstone of guaranteed cooperation. But if it were a total fanatical believer, there would be no guarantee of cooperation at all.

Today, the “big mother” made them believe that the foreigner in a foreign land is a savior, and they believed it all. Then tomorrow, the “big mother” asked them to stab William in the back. Do you think they would hesitate?

Therefore, William did not speak politely, but asked directly.

The other party heard this but was not angry, but instead replied:

“You are joking, after all, you are behind the scenes to promote the independence of Blackwater Province and the settlement of Awa. People with internal turmoil. Based on these two things alone, no matter who you are, it is impossible for you to be on the side of the empire.”

Ebony seems to be inadvertently, and only a few people are qualified to know things were said.

William felt the uncontrollable smugness in the opponent’s tone. The reason why he had been reluctant to mention this key information before was that he hoped to play it as one of his cards at this time. .

But in response, William just raised his voice with a little “oh” in the rising intonation.

It’s not that he was shocked by the other party’s words, but William’s previous expectations for the other party were too low, so after hearing that the other party could collect this level of information, he couldn’t help but feel a little bit. A little surprised.

“Isn’t that what the ‘big mother’ told you in a dream?”

William asked with a sneer.

The other side hooked the head:

“In order to get out of the control of the Empire, we are always paying attention to the situation of the entire Vic continent, even the Awa continent and Daemon Continent. This information of yours, long before the ‘big mother’ gave me the revelation, I spent a lot of money to buy it from the Broken Sword brother and the Thief Guild.”

If this is true, then This person in front of him is still a little rescued, at least there is some value in forming an alliance.

“Oh? Did you mention my true identity in the information you bought?”

Thinking of this, William asked calmly .

“It’s all bits and pieces of rumors and records, and there’s very little that can be inferred from that information. But for us, it’s just a matter of knowing that you’re very, very powerful…and that you are a standout. These two points are quite sufficient in the stand against the Empire. I think this explanation is sufficient to answer the question you questioned earlier – ‘Why should we trust you’? The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and the most important At least in opposing Riel Empire, we have the possibility of cooperation.”

Ebony is so replied.

“This, let’s do it… After all, even if I’m willing to help Blackwater Province and Awa, that doesn’t mean I’m willing to help you, doesn’t it?”

William Wei Wei Spread hands.

But Ebony waved his hand as expected:

“I also understand this, all…you can make a price.”

“Offer a price?”

Although the real purpose of directly pointing out the other party was to make this conversation more direct, William never thought that the other party would be so direct.

“Wealth? Status? Or maybe the inheritance of power, as long as I can take back everything that belongs to me, drive the witch who bowed down to the Platinum Throne, and make Ravenwood a member of the forest elves again. Ravenwood, what price do we have to pay?

“So direct? “

“After dealing with humans for so many years, I can understand your negotiating style based on maximizing interests. In this case, we might as well save those redundant temptations and negotiate directly on the nature of the matter, wouldn’t it save time between each other? “

Seeing the puzzled expression on William’s face, Hobion Ebony added.

Before William could speak, the other party continued as if he was asking himself. Said:

“Of course, for someone who can stop the tide of the undead of the Rotten Moon and defeat the demon army of the Moon Realm at the Moon Realm. Wealth, power, and status must not be lacking, so the price I am willing to offer will be higher…”

“Not to mention the price you offer, it is when you become Raven. Later support from the King of Wood, or something like that won’t materialize until your grand scheme succeeds. “

William interrupted like this – the nature of this thing is just as unreliable as “I, Qin Shihuang, make money”. Like this kind of behavior that advances the achievement of the original goal into a reward , will make William feel that he is being played.

Of course, William does not feel that the other party can really impress him. At least in this world a thousand years ago, all the things that could impress him Everything is now staying in William’s treasure hall.

Seeing William’s uninterested appearance, Ebony said directly:

“I am willing to open it. For the price, in addition to what you said earlier, what I can give you now are: a trial weapon, a hundred years of accumulated World Tree life condensation, and a small wooden box. “

It’s like the old joke “I’m going to invade Afghanistan, and I’m going to paint all the road signs green, and I know people don’t have a problem with the former”, compared to the first two that I can understand. Something, William subconsciously asked:

“A wooden box? “

Ebony nodded and said:

“Yes, a wooden box, made with dead sprouts of the World Tree, with extremely powerful magic power attached to it. But that’s not the point, the point is what’s inside – the ashes of Frostwitch Nehh, the third member of the Tribunal of The Last Watcher. “

“That wooden box is his phylactery.” ”

I have to adjust my schedule from tomorrow, otherwise I will die suddenly
