The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 767 Reasons and Hesitation

"Sir, are you kidding me?"

Allen smiled faintly and said in a somewhat depressed tone: "I won't say that as the rotating speaker, I need to be stationed in Mansha City for fifty years and cannot leave the city hastily. It's just that I have experienced a thrilling assassination before. Action, almost my life is in the hands of my opponent, do you think I have just recovered and am still in danger?"

"Who can guarantee that when I join the Assassin's Guild this time, someone else will not set a trap for me?"

"It's not that I want to shirk it, it's just that I just experienced a painful lesson. I personally can't take any more risks and ignore my Green Field Tribe and my own responsibilities."

"I know your concerns, Mr. Allen, but at least in this mission, our Assassin's Guild can guarantee that the wilderness forces will never do anything against you again. At the same time, the forces of the Temple of Nature, headed by the Church of Nature, Also let my union send a message to Sir Allen that they are willing to coexist peacefully with you from now on and will no longer embarrass you and your tribe."

"This is also an important reason why I visited Sir Allen this time. I hope that the misunderstanding between you and the Natural Church can be solved and the two families can be at peace from now on."

"..."

Allen's pupils were slightly dilated, and he was a little surprised. He really didn't expect that the Natural Church could take the initiative to seek peace. After all, in his opinion, the gap between the Natural Church and the Green Field Tribe was actually very large, and there was no need for the other party to do what they were doing now. .

Precisely because the opponent's choice was beyond Allen's expectations, Allen was somewhat unsure of the reliability of the opponent's actions. Perhaps they were just paralyzing themselves with the statement of seeking peace because of the failure of the last assassination? ?
  "Ha ha."

Jiawen noticed Allen's hesitation. He raised it and a magic shield expanded outwards until it covered the entire study. Then he slowly spoke: "Your Excellency Allen actually knows very well in his heart that you are walking on the same path now." On a very dangerous road, if you don't blame others, the Church will naturally take some unseemly actions against you."

"After all, when you make that choice, you have become a competitor of the churches of the Temple of Nature. It is expected that others' interests will be harmed and they will fight back."

"Now that the other party is showing a friendly attitude towards you, it means that they recognize your strength and are willing to give you a chance to become a being that has the potential to reach that peak in the past ten thousand years."

"Your Excellency Jiawen, I don't even know what you are talking about??"

Allen's expression was calm, and there was a bit of vigilance and concentration in the depths of his eyes. However, he had excellent control over his body and emotions, and it was almost impossible to detect traces of this emotional leakage.

"Sir Allen, we don't need to hide from each other anymore. What kind of planning you are doing may be a secret that cannot be investigated or confirmed in the eyes of many forces, but in the eyes of forces like our Assassin's Guild and the Natural Church, How can you hide in front of me!!"

"You are lucky. The timing for you to embark on this path is very subtle. It happens to be the time when the core god of the natural system of gods has fallen, the new core has not yet fully taken hold, and at the same time, the powerful gods of the two continents in the north and south are planning for a long-term cause."

"The decline of the natural god system forced them to recruit allies from the outside. The god of nature found Rose, the Spider Queen, the evil but powerful elf goddess, while the remaining shadow forces of the Father of Oak were waving an olive branch to the Dark Maiden. .”

"But the foreign gods and their vassal races cannot gain the full trust of the native gods and forces in the wilderness. The reason why the drow were placed in the north of the Cator Mountains, while the followers of the Dark Maiden were left in the Green Field Plain, is probably Mostly it is based on such concerns.”

"Instead of introducing foreign gods and waiting for the other party to gain a firm foothold before competing with the natural gods for believers, it is better to support local beings who have the opportunity to embark on this path. At least after their rise, they will naturally have inextricable ties with the natural temples. Contact should belong to the natural god system."

"Especially because the opponent's own strength is enough to compete with a single church of the Natural God System. At least when the Natural God System wants to deal with the other party, it will have to pay a heavy and painful price. In other words, the gods and churches of the Natural God System have already tried After paying a certain price, it is not incomprehensible to make such a decision rationally.”

"As for me, I have some friendship with an old guy in the Nature Church, so I came here to be the peacemaker at his request. I hope you can put aside your past prejudices and work together to create a better prospect for the future of the wilderness."

"..."

A dark cloud shrouded Allen's earth-gray face. Although he had already had a hunch that his secret might be known to others, now that it was revealed in front of him, he still felt uncomfortable.

However, listening to the content of the other party's words can be regarded as a good harvest, but I don't know how credible it is, which really makes Allen suspicious.

"As for this mission, it is a great opportunity for both of you to show your sincerity and examine each other's attitudes."

"Because this mission is not only carried out by our Assassin's Guild and the Church of Nature, but also by the powerful members of the Orc Empire and its various churches. At least on the surface, you don't need to worry about being framed by the other party."

"...Can I ask, what kind of mission is it that would trigger so many forces to join forces?"

Allen was suddenly curious and couldn't help asking about the content of the mission.

"I'm sorry, unless you agree to participate in this mission, I can't tell you the specific content. But what I can say is that this mission is likely to change the direction of the two major civilizations in the Heron continent in the next few decades. "

Jiawen shook his head and replied firmly.

"So why does the Assassin's Guild get involved in this? With your union spread all over the place, you should be more neutral on this issue. Why are you willing to risk angering humans and get involved? this matter?"

Allen had already expected it, but he was just a little regretful, but then he stared at Jiawen's face and asked a more pointed question.

"Indeed, if we look at the long-term interests of our Assassin's Guild, we should not interfere in the war between humans, orcs and your wilderness. No matter which of your forces is defeated in the future or which side wins the final victory, as there is no fixed territory In fact, the Assassin’s Guild within its sphere of influence will not be affected.”

"But looking at a deeper level, the actions of the Assassin's Guild are originally wandering and shadowy. In the complex background of multiple entangled interests and competition for power, the Assassin's Guild has room for growth and development. Any single centralized power In fact, none of the civilized forces are willing to see aliens like us in their own territory."

"Laws, rules, morals... these are simply the cornerstones for stabilizing the underlying structure, but our Assassin's Guild is just like a moth that has made its home among these cornerstones. In the eyes of those in power, the development of our union will inevitably bring chaos. , and the collapse of laws and rules.” ˆ ˆ ˆ “To put it bluntly, the more complex the civilized environment is, the more suitable it is for the survival and development of our Assassin’s Guild.”

"At the same time, our Assassin's Guild also believes that a world with diverse biological populations is the most suitable for long-term development. In ancient times, with the existence of powerful races such as dragons and giants, magic tides occurred more frequently. Although therefore It has made it difficult for intelligent species to survive, but it has also led to the rapid development of the magical world."

"The legendary magical empire of Netheril that can destroy gods, the floating city that towers at the top of the sky, and the Royal Court of Titans that can overwhelm all gods..."

"But look at the current Feynman world. Although the natural environment seems more suitable for intelligent species to survive, the chaotic magic brought by the magic tide is constantly fading. In the past, legends were as numerous as dogs and demigods were everywhere. Now, the phenomenon has , but it has become a legend. If you want to advance to the peak combat power of a demigod or above, in addition to being good enough as an individual, you also need great opportunities and perseverance."

"If there are only ten more intelligent races in this world, and only a few races exist, who knows whether the tide of magic will continue to recede in the future until an era without magic appears?"

"Whether they are humans or elves, these two powerful races have natural flaws in their characters. The greed of humans and the arrogance of elves mean that after they gain control of the continent, they will not leave more for other races. If there is too much living space, the final result will inevitably be the demise of many intelligent races."

"At that time, the living environment of our Assassin's Guild will also become difficult, and the members who will join will definitely not have many outstanding talents."

Jiawen's wise eyes looked out the window aside, as if he had seen the future, with a bit of emotion and worry in his eyes.

"Hahaha, Lord Jiawen, aren't you a bit inconsistent!!"

Allen's eyes flashed, and he didn't seem to be convinced by the other party's words: "Even if it develops as you said, Feynman's world is going to undergo earth-shaking changes, and it cannot be done overnight. At the current speed of world development, From the looks of it, it is at least something that is possible only after ten thousand years.”

"And the mission you are talking about now can only delay the fire of war for decades. This cannot solve the real problem at all!!"

"Alan, I believe you are a wise leader, otherwise you would not have grown a weak tribe into the first tribe in the north in just two or three hundred years. Then you should understand that in the future Most of the time, changes are not sudden, but basically happen slowly under the influence of small events."

"Take the most influential thing in Feynman's world recently, it must be the eternal sleep of the father of the oak tree. The result of it was that humans and elves suddenly launched a war against the other two surrounding civilizations. , and at the same time, the cloud of war that has been hanging over the world recently is probably caused by this."

"But tracing back to the source, the reason why humans and elves were able to set up a trap to endanger the core gods of great divine power and make their kingdom fall from the endless starry sky was because they had been planning for tens of thousands of years and guiding the situation towards them bit by bit. When we develop in the established direction, we will finally have the opportunity to break the balance, right?"

"If we want to restore the balance between the four major civilized countries and the wilderness and continue the existing pattern, then we also need to start from the smallest things and correct the situation bit by bit. And this operation, It can be regarded as an attempt and effort.”

"As one of the mainstays of the wilderness, Alan Witt, shouldn't you also contribute?"

Jiawen looked at Allen with burning eyes, waiting for his answer.

"Why am I participating in this mission, and not the mainstays like Da Vinci and Marvin?"

Allen did not accept the opponent's tactics and glanced at the demigod Archmage Jiawen with questioning eyes.

"There are too many factors to consider here. For example, the Church of Nature hopes to ease the relationship between you by providing rewards for this operation; for example, you should have fulfilled your obligations after joining the Assassin's Union and enjoying the benefits of the union; At the same time, you happen to be the speaker on duty in Mansha City now..."

After listening to Allen's question, Jiawen opened his mouth and gave several reasons. Although each of them was not an inevitable reason, it at least showed that the other party had indeed considered it carefully.

"As for your worry that this mission will be a trap, that the Church of Nature or other forces set you up, then on behalf of the Assassin's Union, I can make you a promise: If such a thing really happens, our union will personally take action against that force and launch a A century-long assassination.”

"Furthermore, the mystery of the disappearance of the two demigod-level experts who failed to assassinate you a few years ago and have disappeared so far, as well as the disappearance of more than a dozen legends, will also make those with evil intentions consider whether they can survive. Under the eyes and ears of many forces, they planned and assassinated you."

"........."

Allen was hesitant. Jarvan and the Assassin's Guild behind him were very influential, and their intelligence system had provided Allen with first-hand information about the two continents over the years, which was also very valuable. In addition, they voluntarily gave up the assassination mission against important figures of the Green Field Tribe, which actually saved a lot of troubles for the Green Field Tribe. Otherwise, the previous assassination missions against Swara and Kor would really have required professionals from the Assassin’s Guild. If we take action, I'm afraid Swara will be dead by now, and Cole will be in danger as well.

"Sorry, I'm still a little undecided. Give me some time to think about it, okay?"

After struggling for a long time, Allen still didn't give an answer. He just looked up at Jiawen seriously and responded hesitantly.

"No problem, there is plenty of time for this task anyway, but I hope Sir Allen can give you a reply within half a month, so that we can prepare early."

Jiawen's expression of disappointment flashed across his face, but he soon returned to normal.

"Okay, I'll make a decision as soon as possible."

"I look forward to working with you Alan."
