As the Mycroft civilization continues to install super-large space-time hubs one after another in every corner of the multi-dimensional galaxy, detecting the signals of intelligent life in one galaxy after another, the intensity of communication between the Starfall Era and the outside world has increased in the past year. , even surpassing the past era of glory.
After all, the Era of Glory is too introverted in nature. With the support of sages, gods and many legendary strongmen, the Era of Glory does not need to trade or communicate with the outside world at all, and can be completely self-sufficient - of course, they are not Immersed in their own world, most people are obsessed with the glorious giant wonders and buildings and the new forms of cultivating the extraordinary way. They have no need to actively contact outside races. On the contrary, many outside races want to catch up with the glory. Era relationship.
But the Starfall Era is different. Today's Mycroft civilization is extremely open. Part of the reason is the urgency of the evil god's imminent invasion, and part of it is the pressure caused by insufficient internal population. But the really important reason is because of the star. The essence of the fallen era is no longer the 'unified large-scale centralized extraordinary federation' of the past, but a 'loose and decentralized extraordinary alliance of multiple forces'. The former can be self-supplying, self-improvement, stable and powerful, while the latter has many internal The problems and contradictions are also relatively large, and selfishness is even more important. But precisely because of this, the latter is far more motivated than the former to open up to the outside world.
In fact, apart from the union of medium-sized humanoid creatures such as 'humans, elves, and dwarves' in the traditional sense, other ethnic minorities in the Starfall Era are passing through the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site, looking for a place that can make their races stand out today. A chance to have more of a say in Starfall United'.
They have clear goals and determined actions, and will never let go of any opportunity.
any.
"... We follow ancient traditions and do not have too many interactions with any alien creatures."
The unnamed star field is a medium-sized special category world. It is different from the "continent world" and "star world" in the ordinary sense. The interior of this world does not have any sky or atmosphere in the popular sense, but is completely made of rocks and underground caves. , and the 'cave world' composed of the hot core at its core. In this world, there are many primitive earth elements and fire elements that thrive in areas close to the core of the world, and no civilization has developed. However, in the super large caves in the earth's crust and mantle, there is a civilization composed of highly intelligent creatures.
In an underground cave filled with glowing moss, energy-concentrating crystals and stalactites, a three-meter-tall giant Zhiman slowly exudes its own spores - a special mixture of elements - which contain a large number of special elements. Its structure, its smells, energy fluctuations and hybrid properties form a unique language of elements.
As if he was afraid that the little creature in front of him would not understand, the three-meter-tall elder Zhi slowly activated the spores he had spread before. For their race, this meant saying it again: "We don't like war. , don’t like conflicts, naturally, and don’t like outsiders. The ancient ancestors warned us not to have too much contact with alien creatures, they will inevitably bring war. Please come back, envoy of Mycroft civilization, we thank you We value it, but we who like peace and quiet cannot accept your overly enthusiastic lifestyle."
As the name suggests, the Zhizhi looks like a giant active Ganoderma, similar to the eight-legged fungi of the Shepherd. They are both civilized species formed after giant fungi gained wisdom. But unlike the eight-legged fungi that are closer to parasitic fungi, for example, Cordyceps sinensis, Zhi people are more biased towards plants. They decompose biomass in underground caves and are an important member of the world cycle.
Because of this, the Zhi people after gaining wisdom are as quiet and peaceful as plants. They do not expect violent happiness or violent conflicts. They pursue a peaceful life and look forward to living a quiet life. This is their destiny. nature. The Chi people refuse to engage in diplomacy with most non-plant intelligent life. They like dark and humid underground areas, so rather than going out to explore, they prefer to stay in their homeland of the mother world and live an undisturbed life.
"I do not mind!"
However, the little creature in front of the Zhiren elder was not something that could be explained by 'reason'.
A little wind element fairy proudly held out its chest and said loudly using the same method of spreading elements: "It doesn't matter if you don't plan to be friends with us, we plan to be friends with you anyway!"
… No, this is not an insignificant question.
And isn’t friends relative? Or is the Mycrovian civilization’s definition of friends different from that of the multi-dimensional galaxy
Worthy of being a descendant of an ancient civilization from the Lost Galaxy, extraordinary...
Because he couldn't keep up with his thinking, the elder Zhiren, who was sent by the tribe and was solely responsible for communicating with the Mycroft Fairy Tribe ambassador, was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "What I mean is that we have no intention of communicating with the outside world. . We are more accustomed to living a quiet life and don’t like to talk much... "
"It doesn't matter!"
The wind fairy patted her flat chest enthusiastically and said loudly: "We usually use sound waves and mental fluctuations to speak. We don't usually use elemental spore language, so it's equivalent to mute - And before rejecting, you should also listen to our plan, it is definitely a super win-win plan that is beneficial to both parties!"
No, it's not about muting. Then again, what's going on with this guy? And isn't the Mycroft civilization very domineering and cruel in rumors? How could their envoy be like this... Could it be that he is fishing for law enforcement (careless)
Elder Zhiren was silent for a while. He shook his cap and scattered a piece of spore, and then asked tentatively: "Messenger, if we sternly refuse... how will your superiors react?"
"have no idea!"
In the same concise yet loud reply, the enthusiastic wind fairy blinked her eyes, showed her small teeth, and then proudly gave a thumbs up: "I have never thought about this problem!"
This is nothing to be proud of.
The performance of the wind fairy immediately shocked the elder Zhi Ren, and caused deep fear in his heart.
Mycroft is so civilized, but so arrogant - they didn't even think that their request would be rejected! How domineering!
The smile of the wind goblin and the elemental aura called 'excitement' exuded undoubtedly proved this - the Mycroft elf ambassador in front of him was not at all worried that his mission might fail. And even the opposite of being depressed, Fang Zheng was unreasonably happy!
The other party is excited about the possible 'conflicts' and 'battles'! Although the body is petite, the restless elemental power proves that the opponent's life form is extremely advanced. What a terrifying race, born with such strength and desire, it can be said to be the embodiment of the essence of war!
Regarding the elder Zhiren who had not spoken for a long time, the wind fairy tilted her head curiously and flew around him, but soon her attention was diverted and she began to chase the glowing moss happily. The big moth next to it.
At this time, the elder Zhiren was thinking, and he was rapidly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
... In this case, there is only one answer, and that is that Mycroft has his own way of dealing with civilizations that refuse to cooperate. If his own civilization really refuses, then according to the nature of the cruel elf ambassador in front of him, the bloodthirsty Mike Mrs. Luo will definitely use her own world as a model for rejecting their demands without hesitation, and then be completely destroyed... They have this ability, Mrs. McCullough's actions of extinguishing the sun and creating the sun, and The force that easily destroyed a third-level civilization empire can definitely do this!
"Then, Sir Messenger, can you tell me a little bit about your plan?"
Thinking of the possible devastating massacre, Elder Zhiren's tone suddenly softened. He spoke to the wind fairy who was making faces at a moth, and immediately reminded the other party of the purpose of his visit, so the wind fairy He immediately flew down, cheered and used mental waves to send the complete cooperation plan to the elder Zhiren.
The goblin's plan is simple.
As a Zhiren who is born with the ability to secrete elements in the body and nurture the heart of the elemental hearth, its existence itself is a great benefit to the Fairy Country. The fairies have actually found a way to create a complete world, but as long as the fairies cannot cultivate it If at least two legends are born, then the day when their world will take shape is far away.
Cultivating two goblin legends really depends on luck. Before training, the goblin hopes to get help from more elemental races to enrich the number of species, elemental balance, and ecological complexity of the goblin world. In this case, as long as the elimination The elements other than the four major elements are complex enough, and fairies can also complete the feat of creation, even better than the creation of several legends to forcefully maintain the stability of the elements.
As a third-level void civilization, the Zhi people are well-known in the surrounding star field for their high level of civilization and strong use of elements. The only negative news is that they are too exclusive and closed, and are no different from stones. But for fairies, it is not strange to be friends with stones. There is even a story about fairies who have been friends with a stone for more than two hundred years. The elements overflowed and turned the stone into the earth element! So for goblins, these are not problems! It doesn't matter if the other party doesn't want to talk to you or be your friend. They have plenty of time and patience. (As long as you don’t forget it halfway)
As long as the Chi people are willing to join, then if Fairyland becomes a truly complete world in the future, the Chi people will be the great contributors to the creation of the world and one of the elders!
The conditions are very generous and the terms are very loose. It can even be said that except for the hope that some Chi people will relocate to the Fairy Township, the Fairy has not put forward any conditions at all. On the contrary, the Fairy Township will even send a few extremely Italian fairies to try. Cooperating with Zhiren to carry out comprehensive technology sharing and improve the element cycle of Zhiren's world. Of course, there are many taken-for-granted terms, but the sincerity is undoubtedly overflowing.
After reading all the terms, Elder Zhiren was shocked.
Mrs. McLord, what a horror!
If you don't agree, it will be a bloodbath in the Zhiren world, but if you agree, you are willing to spend thousands of dollars to buy the mushroom caps! This kind of tyranny that leads to prosperity and destruction... is indeed a terrifying civilization that comes from the galaxy in another world and can be equal to the three major natural disaster civilizations!
"This way, we have no reason to refuse..."
The Zhiren elder, who thought he had thoroughly understood the cause and effect, sprayed out a long stream of elements and took a long breath: "Then, I hope the messenger will give us a little more time. We need to have a discussion within the clan..."
Afterwards, the Zhiren elders explained the general action plan of the Zhiren people. Due to the complex elder leadership system within the Zhiren people, this process was very complicated, but the Zhiren elders explained it very seriously, so he did not He didn't notice the confused look in the wind fairy's eyes.
"... That's about it. Lord Messenger, do you have any opinions?"
"Hmm~huh? Hmm!"
After roughly listening to it, Tsukuru, the wind fairy who felt that he had heard nothing bad, suddenly realized: "So that's it, I understand! (Actually, I don't understand at all) So, you agreed?"
"Naturally." Elder Zhiren replied.
But as the vibration of the elemental spores ended, an even greater vibration came.
"how?!"
Click! The elder Zhiren couldn't help but take a step back due to the sudden pressure.
Then, he saw that the petite wind fairy in front of him seemed to have four doors opened. These doors were invisible, but incredibly high-concentration elements could flow out of them, calling out the echoes of earth, water, fire and wind.
The illusions of the four legendary fairy queens floated behind the Wind Fairy, who still looked confident, rising like flames, dancing like strong winds, floating like water, and being as thick as the earth. However, the Wind Fairy didn't seem to feel anything was wrong, and she still looked happy. Hehe said: "Then now, sign the contract!"
"… nature."
…
"That's right!"
After signing the preliminary cooperation contract, Wind Fairy, who was about to leave, suddenly remembered something. She quickly turned her head and asked with a serious face: "Mr. Big Mushroom!"
"What is it, dear messenger?"
Although he didn't understand what 'Mr. Big Mushroom' was at all, the elder Zhiren knew that the other party was calling him. It was the first time he saw the other party showing a serious expression. While he was curious about what the other party was going to say, he couldn't help feeling nervous. .
Could it be that there are any additional conditions? !
However, the wind fairy just remembered the additional tasks arranged by a certain expedition fleet marshal.
"Have you ever heard of the 'Exchange System'?"
…
The Zhi people's civilization does not have a bad impression of the exchange system, especially when they discovered that the high-concentration element crystals naturally secreted by their own tribe have a high value in the exchange system, they have a favorable impression of this unique cross-world trading system. Just higher.
Whether you are using redemption points to exchange for natural legendary powerhouses to optimize the local ecological structure, or redeeming the 'Druid Way', 'Elemental Mage Heritage' or 'Sublimated Elemental Life Forms', for the peaceful Zhi people, it is all It is something that would take a long, long time to accomplish with their own strength. Now they can use the exchange system to do it for them, which is naturally the best thing.
It is precisely because of this reason, coupled with the force and reputation guarantee of the Mycroft civilization, that the exchange system has been promoted extremely quickly, even spreading at a geometric level, which even surprised Joshua.
However, not all civilizations and races are willing to accept the combination of the exchange system and the repair light beam.
For example, it is a certain sea snake race that is contacted by the fish-men clan. A certain legendary strongman in their group, a 'super giant continental python' that can surround the entire planet, the Ringer Abwuush. At a glance, it can be seen that the essence of this repairing light pillar is the semi-autonomous clone of a certain legendary strongman. The exchange condition it follows is of course 'equivalent exchange', but who knows what conspiracy is behind this, or what potential dangers there are
Although they didn't know that this thing could be used as coordinates to summon Joshua's true form, they really didn't like this kind of thing and declined the promotion.
Of course, some races do not like it, and there is indeed nothing that can be done about it. Mrs. Mike Rowe respects the choices of most races.
But for some special races, Starfall Era will not be so tolerant...
What awaits them is in-depth 'communication' and 'persuasion'.
I went to see The Wandering Earth today (alone) and learned about the news that Rune Factory 5 is being produced. It was simply the best Valentine’s Day (great reading)
