"This is the whole story of our trip to the bottom of the sea." Sitting in the palace meeting hall, Ryan used this sentence as the end of his two-hour narration. Then he took up the water on the table and drank it all. The whole room was very quiet. Everyone was attracted by the novel world described by Ryan. The humans who had lived here for many years seemed to have never really set their sights beyond the Hengduan Mountains or the bottom of the sea. When Ryan walked out and walked back. After that, everyone suddenly discovered that there were many neighbors they had never met before.
There are only a few people who are qualified to sit here, including Little Emperor Harold, Orlando, Victor, and Luke. Among these people, except Victor, who has crossed planes for adventure more than once after being promoted to a legend, the others It is almost the first time for people to come into contact with the world described by Ryan. Among them, Harold is the most interested. He asked excitedly: "Teacher Ryan, according to what you said, what is Ticelis?" Will the Queen send an exchange team to us soon?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Although Harold is nominally Lane's student, Lane will still call him Your Majesty on formal occasions. This can be regarded as a little respect for the imperial power. Of course, it is mainly out of respect for the Fernando royal family. In the face of loyal Orlando, even if Ryan enters the realm level, Orlando will still be his brother-in-law. This kind of constant family relationship is something Ryan values very much.
"Then in the future I will have the opportunity to go to what you mentioned... Findayala, yes, would you like to go and see Findayala?" Harold said with longing on his face: "You can live under the water, in huge cities and... The magical barrier that protects you from sea erosion, and the legendary giant squid, it’s really cool.”
"Of course. I have always believed that mutual exchanges can lead to better peaceful coexistence." Ryan nodded and replied: "Your Majesty, you are still young. If you have the opportunity, of course you can travel around. Broadening your horizons will help you govern the country in the future. It will be of great help. Of course, it is not possible now. On the one hand, Tisilis needs time to consolidate her rule. On the other hand, your magic level is really poor. For the sake of safety, I recommend that you be promoted to Magister. Consider a trip to the bottom of the sea, at least this way you can maintain the effect of the 'underwater breathing' spell in the underwater world without the help of magic items."
"Okay, I will definitely work hard." Harold said solemnly,
As the most loyal general of the Fernando royal family, Orlando will naturally not prevent the young emperor Harold from making a normal state visit. Of course, as Ryan said, the time is not mature enough now. Diplomatic visits between humans and the Naga Empire should be placed in the future. Maybe at a more suitable time. After making up his mind, Orlando bowed and said to the little emperor Harold: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, you should go and rest."
After being reminded by Orlando, Harold discovered that it was late at night before he knew it. So Harold said goodbye to Ryan and others without saying goodbye, and returned to his palace to rest. The departure of the little emperor made this meeting room... There were only five people left inside, and among them, except for Luke, the other four were all legendary level strongmen. Ryan and Faras looked at each other, and the latter stretched out his hand to hold up three magic barriers to cover the entire meeting. The hall was protected. Obviously what they were going to say next would be so important that even the nominal ruler of the empire could not participate.
In the previous two hours of narration, Ryan basically described his entire trip to the bottom of the sea. However, there were also some untruths in it. For example, Celine Weiner concealed her true identity and founded a new chamber of commerce. This kind of information about other people's privacy Naturally, Ryan and Faras will not publicize this matter everywhere, and there is also the fact that Ryan and Faras jointly promoted themselves to domain experts and killed at least hundreds of legends in the underwater world. This incident is really shocking. Ryan did not Dare to tell it in front of Harold, just saying lightly that he helped Tisilis win the New Year's Sacrifice,
After listening to Ryan's supplementary description, the faces of Victor and others all changed. Needless to say, what does it mean to be a new powerful person in the field? The key is that Ryan and Farasi actually reached this level together. Yes, doesn't this mean that two more powerful people in the human field will soon appear on the human side? If this news is leaked, I am afraid that the situation on the entire continent will be rewritten. The six-party alliance that was originally in balance may collapse in an instant. If Line is willing to support the imperial capital unconditionally, I am afraid it will not be difficult for the Fernando royal family to unify the entire continent in a very short period of time.
"Lian, I heard your description. It seems that if you don't join forces, you will just keep your strength at the peak of the legendary powerhouse. Why is this? Do you..." Victor seemed to have guessed something from Ryan's description. He stopped here when he asked the question, and looked at Ryan, hoping to get a clear answer.
"I am already preparing to participate in the so-called Millennium War with Teacher Ghalib." Ryan calmly stated his plan: "A strong man in the field is not enough to deter enemies with ulterior motives. If you add There are several legendary warriors with great strength, so even if someone wants to invade our place, they will hesitate because of our strong follow-up potential."
"So you deliberately stuck your strength at the peak of the legend, giving outsiders the impression that you can't advance to participate in the Millennium War." Although Orlando is a holy knight of justice and disdains the use of conspiracy, he does not mean that He couldn't see through Ryan's thoughts. This holy knight who was promoted to legend after being blessed by the God of Light interrupted and said: "And your so-called bottleneck on the surface has already been crossed, so the enemies you encounter in the legendary realm will be very difficult." It is difficult to pose any threat to you. If everything goes well, when you and Jialib can win, we will have two strong men in the field who are on the bright side, and Farasi, the hidden secret chess player. .”
"Yes." Ryan nodded and admitted: "I have calculated it repeatedly and the risk of this plan is not very high. After all, I don't want to die in vain. Now that someone has set their sights on us, giving in is not the answer. The only option is to use Strength is used to deter those with ulterior motives, and the best platform to demonstrate strength is this thousand-year battle."
"Ryan, have you ever thought about becoming the ruler of this plane?" Luke suddenly asked from the side: "I think your current strength is already absolutely strong in this plane. If you don't go You and Fani are the legendary powerhouses around you, and they are probably enough to conquer any country in this plane. Why don’t you just integrate the power of this plane, and then use the best way to cultivate more Here’s the strong one.”
"Father, I have no interest in power." Ryan shook his head and said, "My biggest feeling during this trip to the bottom of the sea is that we humans have too many inherent deficiencies. In terms of talent, we have no way to compete with other races. For example, elves, Nagas and octopus people who are good at magic have almost innate understanding of magic. You don’t need to explain a lot of knowledge at all, because it has been deeply imprinted in their souls. This is a generation. As for dwarves, orcs, lizardmen, fishmen, etc. who are good at fighting, they either have advantages in strength or talent in dexterity. In many cases, they can become excellent without even training. Mercenaries, if strict discipline is used to restrain them, this will be an army comparable to the elite human army."
"There are also vampires, dark elves, and those slaadi, illithids, beholders, etc. that we have almost never seen. The talents of these races are more powerful than Nagas and elves. It is said that there are several The cubs of even rarer races can reach the legendary state even when they are just born." Ryan continued: "As for us humans, it seems that it is very difficult to give birth to a legend, right?"
Victor and others nodded together. What Ryan said made sense. Humans are also one of the races with the most mediocre talents. Although these are unpleasant, they are also unquestionable facts. Seeing that Victor and others agreed with him From his point of view, Ryan continued: "Integrating the entire plane sounds very exciting, but in fact it is meaningless. Not to mention the Naga and other races living in the underwater world, this is our continent, human beings, Elves, dwarves, orcs, well, let’s include the undead. I think it would be a great thing for these races to coexist peacefully and live among each other without discrimination in the next hundred years. .”
"Impossible. Orcs and humans are mortal enemies. They have been fighting each other for hundreds of years. As for the undead, they are simply the public enemies of the entire continent. How can they live together in peace and harmony." Orlando was the first to put forward his own opinion. Obviously He didn't think what Lane said could be achieved,
Ryan smiled, nodded to Victor who was thinking a little, and then continued: "Don't talk about these races, even we humans have a situation of confrontation between the north and the south. People living in the north There are many differences between the customs and habits of the south. Why must they give up their own habits and change them according to the wishes of the rulers? I think the migration and integration between nations and races should be spontaneous and gradual. We You can promote it consciously, but you must do it slowly and for a long enough time, otherwise even if someone rises strong and changes these things, it will fall apart in a very short time after losing this strength."
"I think the greatest advantage of human beings is the ability to learn. We work tirelessly to learn from the strong ones within the race and learn the advantages of other races. If all races are forcibly integrated and trained according to one model, then the only advantage of human beings will be It will disappear, and then I am afraid that those races with outstanding talents will soon replace the status of humans." Ryan ended his explanation with this sentence: "It is not to satisfy one's own selfishness at the cost of destroying a race. Something I love to do.”
