Green Monster Epic
#700 - Business
“The goblin race is different from my human race. My human civilization is strong, good at innovation, and pursues freedom. Gods are not guardians to my human race, but shackles. Therefore, we need to break the shackles on our bodies and freely explore the mysteries of the universe.”
“As for the races in the wilderness, they have been fighting with our four major civilizations for survival since the day they were born. In the end, they were expelled to the barren and impoverished Mansa wilderness because of their failure. For the sake of their small and humble survival, they hope to have gods to protect them, and what they pay is the so-called faith and freedom that they think is dispensable.”
“Therefore, it is a last resort for the goblins to embark on the road to becoming gods. If there is no god of their own race to protect them, the status of the goblin race in the wilderness will inevitably become more and more marginalized in the future, and then gradually be annexed and蚕食 by other races.”
“Our two races are in different situations and environments, so the goals we pursue are also different, but at least in some directions, our goals are the same, that is, to work hard to survive in this treacherous and turbulent world.”
“Only by surviving will the sacrifices made by your teacher and my old friends be valuable, and the freedom and truth we pursue will have the hope of continuing to be passed on.”
“From this perspective, our early investment in this bear goblin who may be promoted to a god in the future is a very cost-effective business.”
Abel knew Liam's inner struggle and pain, but he believed more in the reason and vision that the other party possessed as a mage. After he analyzed the facts clearly, he only needed a little time to calm down. As the helmsman of the Council of Truth, Liam would understand his difficulties.
As a different kind of existence, the Ice and Snow Kingdom basically has no allies in the human kingdom.
Externally, because of the betrayal of the Goddess of Spring, the Mansa wilderness, which is now led by the natural camp, is also somewhat wary and indifferent to the Ice and Snow Kingdom.
As for the Orc Empire, which could have been an ally, because the Council of Truth needed to use the destruction of the Spring Country to achieve their mission of destroying the Wall of Unbelievers, which they had been planning for countless years, they sat on the sidelines and did not lend a helping hand when the Orc Empire was attacked by the demon and human coalition forces in turn. The Orc Empire, which is now licking its wounds, probably won't have a good attitude towards such a human kingdom.
Under internal and external troubles, if you want to break the deadlock, you need a weighty existence to help mediate and eliminate the estrangement between the Ice and Snow Kingdom and other forces hundreds of years ago.
If we can't introduce foreign aid from the outside and break the gradually forming encirclement, it will be very difficult for the Ice and Snow Kingdom to contend with the human kingdoms in the future, let alone the dawn of victory, even the chance of survival is very slim.
“But it is so difficult to become a god. Our investment in it now is also very risky! ! Those churches in the natural camp may not want to see another race god rise and share their believers! !
“At that time, if the churches in the natural camp find out that we are secretly supporting this bear goblin, our already cold relationship will probably become more僵.”
Liam gradually calmed down. After reason returned to his body, the way of thinking formed by the knowledge and experience of the mage quickly found the problem.
“Liam, the wilderness has never been as simple as you think.”
Abel smiled slightly, and then began to solve the doubts for the younger generation: “The centaur, kobold, and troll races all have their own race gods, but look now, they still live freely in the Mansa wilderness.”
“Among them, Chiron, the god of centaurs, and Kurtulmak, the god of kobolds, have more or less close relationships with the natural camp. Now, with the addition of Lolth, the spider queen, and Eilistraee, the dark maiden, forming an alliance with the natural camp, at least the gods of the natural camp are definitely more open-minded than the gods above the other four major civilization systems.”
“Therefore, they may not be unwilling to see another god close to the natural camp appear, especially during the period of decline after the slumber of the Father of the Oak.”
“As for whether that bear goblin demigod can successfully ascend to the throne of God, it will ultimately depend on his own ability and means. As for the judgment of his ability, the legend about how the Green Field tribe went from weak to strong, which is now widely circulated in the wilderness, is enough to explain everything.”
“Perhaps, he will be the most likely hero to ascend to the throne of God in the Feywild Plane in nearly ten thousand years.”
Liam did not expect that his teacher's old friend would be so optimistic about that bear goblin, and Liam's inner confidence in refuting the judgment of a prophetic magic master was not much.
It seems that he really ignored the understanding of that bear goblin leader. It seems that he has to seize the time to read more about the past experience of that bear goblin leader.
“The time agreed with him is two days later at the Tulip Manor, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then we will go together at that time. What should we talk about specifically?”
“Let's talk about things about gods……”
……
With too little information in hand, Allen pondered alone in the quiet room of the hotel for a long time, but he still didn't completely understand what their demands for the meeting were. Of course, there are many speculations that are still somewhat based, but Allen cannot determine which of the specific guesses is the purpose of the Council of Truth, or whether they have other intentions.
However, no matter which guess, at least one thing is basically certain, that is, the meeting of the Council of Truth this time is unlikely to have any malice towards him.
Therefore, Allen finally decided to go to the appointment as agreed before.
After tidying up the clothes and equipment on his body, he threw the shabby equipment that concealed his identity into a blacksmith shop, and at least recovered a little cost. Then, the bear goblin, who had been refreshed and restored to the strong man's attire, walked calmly towards the royal city on the mountainside.
The Tulip Manor is located on the mountainside of the majestic snow mountain in the royal city, and the height from the royal city where the royal family lives is less than 100 meters, but its straight-line distance is more than ten miles.
Choosing to meet Allen here is not only to make Allen feel the importance of the Council of Truth, but also to keep it secret, and at the same time to reassure Allen. At least for a demigod, the traps and defenses of such a chamber of commerce manor are much less threatening than places like the Ice Crystal Tower and the Royal City.
“Welcome to your arrival, Your Excellency Allen.”
At the gate of the beautiful manor, someone had been waiting here early. Seeing Allen walking in a black and bright scale armor from a distance, Liam and Abel took the initiative to greet him and greeted Allen politely and kindly.
Besides these two high-ranking members of the council, there were also a few council mages who had previously met Allen with Abel in the chamber of commerce. Everyone else on the estate was dismissed, and even the original owner of the estate, Hai Rouer, had gone to the shops in the royal city.
In Allen's perception, the vast estate was devoid of any other creatures, making it quite peaceful.
"I am Liam O'Connor, the current Speaker of the Eternal Truth Council."
"Hello, Speaker Liam."
"I had heard long ago that a demigod powerhouse had emerged in the wilderness, who in just over two hundred years had built a weak tribe into a powerful one of hundreds of thousands. Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary."
After listening to Abel's advice, Liam took the time before the meeting to catch up on information about Allen. He didn't know until he looked, but after truly understanding the past of this Gnoll, he understood why Abel was so optimistic about him.
The Gnoll before him may not be a genius with outstanding wisdom and intelligence, but his actions are swift and decisive, yet he knows how to endure. While developing steadily, he can act decisively and resolutely when he sees an opportunity, ultimately achieving his current success.
Sometimes, geniuses may not go far, but rather it is the character of this Gnoll before him, who knows both how to be patient and how to fight desperately, who is more likely to succeed.
"Most of those rumors are exaggerations. I am just at the right time and favored by the goddess of luck."
Allen smiled stiffly. Even though he often heard his clansmen's praise and flattery through the prayer scenes, he still doesn't like such words very much.
"Lord Allen is being modest."
Liam turned sideways and gestured for Allen to enter.
Allen looked at the beautiful manor on both sides of the road ahead, filled with various flowers, and stepped in without hesitation.
In the deserted manor, various cold dishes had been prepared long ago, so at least there was no need to worry that Allen would arrive late and miss the taste. Of course, with the title of 'God of Cookery' of the Gnoll leader, I am afraid that even the best chefs in Frost Crystal City would be lacking in their cooking skills.
"...I wonder, Speaker Liam, and Speaker Abel, what is the purpose of inviting me to meet this time?"
After some small talk, Allen didn't want to continue with the pleasantries, and simply asked the theme of this meeting according to his temperament.
"..."
Liam and Abel looked at each other upon hearing this. Although Abel couldn't see, he could feel the joy in Liam's heart.
"The reason we invited Lord Allen to meet this time is simply to do a business with Lord Allen."
"Business??"
Allen still hadn't guessed Liam's plan, and he was a little stunned when he heard the other party frankly state the proposal.
"I don't think that with the long journey between the Ice and Snow Kingdom and my Green Field tribe, and the barren output of my tribe, there is any business worth discussing with me by two Archmages in person."
"Hahaha, Lord Allen is still being modest."
Liam smiled mysteriously, then signaled to Abel. Suddenly, a faint and mysterious magical aura rose from the crystal ball in Abel's hand and quickly enveloped the entire manor.
When Allen saw this, his face suddenly turned cold, and the dark golden greatsword appeared in his hand at that time. The chair under his abdomen could not bear the sudden addition of hundreds of pounds of weight, and made a series of creaking sounds.
However, Allen's expression quickly returned to normal, because he found that Abel, the Archmage, had only cast a spell to prevent prying and reconnaissance, and then stopped casting spells.
"Our council just wants to get to know a future deity."
Since he understood Allen's temperament through his past experiences, the smart and rational Liam did not mince words and suddenly revealed the biggest secret in Allen's heart.
"Humph, nonsense!!"
Allen's just-relaxed face turned into a坚冰 again as his privacy was exposed by the other party, no longer allowing any emotions to leak out. At the same time, a powerful aura slowly rose, although it did not erupt, it was like an ancient behemoth sharpening its fangs and claws, causing people to feel fear in their hearts.
"Whether it's nonsense or not, Lord Allen, you know it clearly. For example, the One Mind Two Uses inheritance crystal that you exchanged for two days ago, isn't it for suppressing the constant stream of believers' prayer sounds in your spiritual world??"
The legendary One Mind Two Uses specialty was created in ancient times, and it has been passed down to this day even with great hidden dangers and risks. In fact, there is also a little-known secret. That is, the One Mind Two Uses specialty was originally created because a spellcasting genius on the path to godhood wanted to control the constant stream of believers' prayer scenes pouring into his spiritual world.
In other words, the essence of the One Mind Two Uses specialty is to solve the predicament Allen is currently in.
And the reason why Abel was so confident that Allen would embark on the path to godhood before was also due to Allen's emphasis on the One Mind Two Uses specialty.
"This kind of joke is not allowed."
Allen struggled to deny it. He knew very well that if this matter spread out, then he, Allen, would soon become a rat crossing the street, and everyone would be condemned.
"Lord Allen, you can rest assured that no one else knows about this matter except for the few of us present. Moreover, I also assure you that after this meeting today, these people's memories of this period will also be sealed by the two of us."
Abel knew Allen's worries and made a sincere guarantee.
"From the standpoint of our council, even if you ascend to the throne of God, your believers and territory will not have much conflict with us, so we are not enemies."
"Since we are not enemies or opponents, then if you really achieve great achievements in the future, we will naturally be happy to see it happen."
"Or rather, because you are a member of the wilderness, even if you ascend to the throne of God in the future, your biggest enemies will only be the neighbors around our country!"
"And the threats to our council and the Ice and Snow Kingdom now and in the future are also these greedy and insidious villains!!"
"Therefore, we want to do a long-term business with you. I wonder if you are interested now??"
(To be honest, I can't write anymore. For this kind of dialogue that should be more visual and every sentence should contain deep meaning, I can't squeeze out that feeling even if I rack my brains.
In addition, now that it is entering the final stage, with the appearance of various forces, it is really difficult for me to write the kind of descriptions of scenes such as intrigue, layout and design for their respective demands, which are not my forte. I really want to write a few random chapters and just end it.)
