Chapter 1035 Invitation

Elven outpost on the wasteland border.

If it weren't for Solderin's reminder, Gawain would not have thought of this - although he did know the existence of this sentry.

In fact, when Cecil was still a principality, Gawain successfully established contact with the Silver Empire far to the south of the continent for the first time, relying on the transit of this sentry post - that was several years ago. It happened years ago.

“The Farstrider Post of the Silver Empire is a permanent neutral stronghold. From the distant Gondor era to the kingdom era after the second expansion, this has been recognized by all countries for thousands of years,” Thor Delin said from the side, "Judging from the current situation, there are some problems no matter where this crucial armistice negotiation is conducted. It would be better to conduct it at the Elf Post in the northwest of Shadow Swamp. And on the other hand, the Elf They are also very suitable witnesses...at least judging from the long lifespan, we are very confident in witnessing the contract for more than a thousand years."

Gawain admitted that he had not considered this idea before. Hearing Solderin's words at this moment, he suddenly felt that it made some sense: "...Seven hundred years ago, the pioneer laws of various countries were also concluded under the witness of the elves..."

"So what do you think?" Solderin looked at Gawain, "Do you agree?"

Gawain thought briefly, and after half a minute he nodded lightly: " This is the most suitable plan at present... I personally agree, but this matter requires more than just my approval. Send the message to Winterhold to see if the Typhonians also agree with this matter - in addition, We also need to contact the Silver Empire to see what Belsetia thinks."

"The Queen must be happy to bear this witness," Solderin said with confidence, but still clicked. Gawain nodded, "Of course, I will report this matter to Her Majesty Belsetia."

Gawain hummed, but his serious expression did not relax much. Instead, he fell into thinking again. Amber noticed the change in his expression and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Did you think of anything wrong?"

Gawain woke up from his meditation, and he shook his head: " There's nothing wrong with it, it's just..."

As he spoke, he looked at the map hanging on the wall not far away in the hall - it was a map that included Typhon and Cyprus. The map of the entire territory of Xir, including some of the countries surrounding the two countries, on which the mortal kingdoms are intertwined, huge empires, scattered kingdoms, city-states attached to the big countries... are all clearly marked. Gawain's eyes swept across the ancient and young names, and his eyes became profound.

"Perhaps... we shouldn't just be satisfied with an armistice negotiation..."

"Not just an armistice negotiation?" Amber felt a little confused about Gawain's thoughts. , she scratched her hair, "Ah, is it the story you told me before? In the middle of the negotiation, you threw the cup, and then jumped in from the window next to it with five hundred people carrying power.The white knight of the hammer raised all the tables in the audience..."

"Stop, stop, stop..." Gawain, who was full of grand plans, was beaten by the half-elf just halfway through. He messed up the rhythm and shouted to stop in a hurry while regretting from the bottom of his heart that he shouldn't have taught this shameful creature so many dirty words - of course he would definitely do it again after regretting it, but at least at this moment he really regretted it, "I usually do I shouldn't teach you all this nonsense... I almost lost my train of thought. "

Hubo didn't care at all: "What do you mean? "

"We resisted a divine disaster," the experience of our ancestors over the past few years came in handy. Gawain quickly returned to his serious look. He spoke slowly, and his messy thoughts were quickly sorted out. "Two human empires have mobilized their entire country to confront it head-on, and our enemy is a real, crazy god who has descended into the world. This incident should be a major node in the history of all mortals. - It should not just be a 'result' of the war between the two human kingdoms of Typhon and Cecil. "

Amber blinked, as if he hadn't reacted yet, but Solderin on the side vaguely caught Gawain's thoughts: "Do you want to... take advantage of this divine disaster to win over the world? Promote 'disobedience' plan worldwide? "

"No, we cannot directly promote disobedience - for people in the world who don't know the truth, this plan is too radical, and the terrifying truth behind it will scare away many potential allies in advance. "Gawain shook his head, "But we can indeed use this opportunity to make the countries on the mainland more aware of the existence of the crisis, to unite more people, and to prepare more people - the fall of the God of War is very important. It will have an impact soon, the corresponding magic will become ineffective, the related spiritual seal will disappear, and all countries will soon realize the lack of the God of War. Therefore, this divine disaster itself cannot be concealed, so we might as well make it public directly. . "

"...To be honest, for many people, the impact of this incident is probably not as mild as that of the 'Disobedience Plan'," Solderin sighed with a wry smile, "But I still I agree with you - we should make things bigger. "

"We need to prepare for two meetings," Gawain nodded. "One is the truce agreement between us and Typhon, and the other... we need to invite as many allies as possible. There needs to be a new international order and international relations that bring everyone together - of course, it's too early to tell, but I think we can get started. ”

Gawain talked about his thoughts in detail, and what he told Solderin at this moment was by no means a whim - he had had this idea a long time ago, and even discussed it with Hector. Di and others discussed it in detail several times.

In his opinion, this world is really not a gentle and bright paradise. The existence of divine disasters, black traps and demonic tides is harmful to mortals at any historical stage. Even if he is a legendary strongman and the monarch of a country, he will always have troubles when living in such a world.The feeling of trembling, let alone ordinary people in this world.

Faced with this unfriendly world, Gawain never considered himself very powerful. On the contrary, he frankly admitted his own weakness, and even admitted the weakness of the entire mortal group. It is precisely because of this that he Such emphasis is placed on the development of society as a whole and the ability of the entire mortal group to survive in the face of disasters - when a disaster like the Demon Tide comes, the survival of a few strong or lucky people is completely meaningless. Only if civilization continues, can the mortal group survive. It’s considered alive.

This was his realization when he led a group of refugees to set up their first tent on the banks of the Baishui River. To this day, this original intention has not changed.

In order to realize his overly huge "ambition", he must push his ideal order to the entire world. At one time, such an idea seemed arrogant and naive, but now, he has seen that Now is the time to take the first step.

Gawain raised his head and looked toward the northeast. Through a window in the corner of the hall, the snow-capped peaks of the Winterfort Mountains vaguely appeared in his field of vision: "Now, let's look at our Are the 'neighbors' willing to welcome this new era with us?"

...

The destruction caused by the war was shocking, and even the towering and solid mountain fortress suffered from this disaster. Then it became devastated.

The city walls as white as ice crystals were stained black, the towers and flags around the castle collapsed, and the majestic Winter Fortress still stood on the high mountain, but a full quarter of the fortress structure had been destroyed before. was wiped out in a big explosion - the remaining three-quarters stood in the cold wind. In the dilapidated courtyard and the corridors and pillars that were about to collapse, mages covered with dust and soot were busy repairing work.

They are trying their best to prevent the fortress from continuing to collapse, and are trying to use magic to re-reinforce and fill its damaged walls and main buildings. Due to the huge waste energy permeating the entire Winterhold fortress group, Interference made it difficult for the mages to concentrate, and the repair work was not going smoothly, but at least so far, the main hall of the castle and several surrounding corridors were safe.

The head maid with black hair and black skirt walked in the cracked and dusty corridor, her short-heeled boots made crisp footsteps on the stone floor. Although the surroundings were in a mess, she still looked as if As elegant and calm as she walked in the Obsidian Palace, her delicate face concealed all changes in expressions, just like in the past many years - no one could guess from the face of the head maid Diana that this person loyal to Augustus What is going on in the mind of a lady whose family has been in the family for hundreds of years?

After passing through the foyer and corridor, and passing through two empty small rooms, she came to the newly cleaned living room, where Rosetta Augustus was sitting on a dark red cushion. Sitting on the back chair, he seemed to be thinking about something.

"Master," Diana walked towards Emperor Rosetta, "I'm back."

"Welcome back, it's been a hard trip," Rosetta looked atThe black-haired maid nodded slightly, "It seems that the Cecils did not make things difficult for you."

Diana folded her hands in front of her waist and said meticulously: "Gawain Cecil He is a sensible person, and his officers abide by the rules."

Rosetta looked into Diana's eyes: "Tell me about your experience with the Cecil people—— Is there anything worth reporting?"

A glimmer of light seemed to flash in Diana's eyes. She opened her mouth, but hesitated at the last moment before speaking. This brief hesitation made Luo Seta was immediately surprised - he had never seen such a "hesitant" reaction from this "Iron Lady" since he could remember it!

But after a moment, Diana still spoke: "Beside Gawain Cecil, there are the 'remnants' who have survived from the ancient Gondor era to this day."

" ...It’s not surprising,” Rosetta knocked on the table lightly and said with a natural expression, “Based on the information we currently have, there is at least one great magister from the Gondor era among Cecil’s technical staff. ——As a 'pioneering hero' who was resurrected from seven hundred years ago, Gawain Cecil himself is even a remnant of Gondor, and he holds more Gondor heritage than anyone else.

"...Ophelia Norton," Diana said, "a member of the royal family of Gondor in the Age of Sparks, the commander of the Iron Legion, one of the leaders of the Rebels, and a cutting-edge technician - she Her current name is Veronica Morn, and her identity is the princess of old Anzu. This is some kind of soul immortality technology, but the details are missing from my database. ”

Rosetta’s tapping on the table stopped. He sat there expressionlessly, as motionless as a black iron sculpture for the next few seconds. .

"Master? "Diana looked at the other person, "What did you think of? "

Rosetta's fingers that were still in mid-air finally landed on the table. He sighed with a subtle expression: "To be honest... I'm starting to envy our neighbors. "

Diana thought for a while and reminded: "You have said similar things before. "

"But this time is different," Rosetta shook her head, "I envy not only the resources Gawain Cecil has in his hands, but I also envy...his sharp thinking. and perspective on things, these qualities allow the resources in his hands to always achieve greater results. "

A trace of confusion appeared in Diana's very human expression: "Why do you say that? "

"You just came back, the news is delayed a bit," Rosetta said, picking up a copied document from the table and handing it to Diana, "Before you step into the castle, Se The Sears sent us this via a makeshift communication line. ”

Diana took the document curiously and scanned the contents in an instant.Rosetta continued: "In addition to the armistice agreement, Gawain Cecil also mentioned another matter, 'proposing the establishment of a common alliance of mortal nations'. He hopes to use this to cause the entire continent to Eye-catching war, reveal the threat of divine disaster, and use the influence of Cecil and Typhon's respective settlement areas to establish a huge... order spanning the entire continent."

"...Ambition. "It's an exciting idea," Diana put down the document and commented pertinently, "but at this point in time, it is possible to realize it - although according to my calculations, not all countries will respond to his call, but as long as some countries are willing By joining, this 'alliance' will have the power to shock the world. For those countries that are far away from this war, the threat of divine disaster may not be so clear, but the economic benefits of joining this alliance are obvious."

"Yes, obviously, and the Cecil people have always been very good at economics," Rosetta said, "They will definitely make good use of their strengths in this area."

"What do you think?" Diana raised her head and watched Rosetta's reaction quietly.

"...He said that he is not an idealist, but now he puts an extremely ideal vision in front of me. I want to face this 'invitation' with absolute rationality, but Unfortunately, this world is not completely rational..." Rosetta sighed softly, or praised, "Sometimes we need to take risks in order to face the challenges of the future - I accepted this invitation."
