Chapter 352 The Art of Compromise and Windfall(1/5)
…
Fandral smiled and said:
"The wood elves think that things are going on very secretly, but they don't know that the eyes of the divine mage are always firmly locked on them."
"We learned a long time ago that the Elders of Jade Cangting intends to cooperate with the legendary magician Lance, who is also the culprit of causing the Mark of the Dead."
"Lance's suggestion to the Presbyterian Council is to arrange a larger-scale void sacrifice ceremony to summon the will of the Lord of the Void to fully descend."
"After that, Lance will personally represent the elves in this ceremony to plead with the Lord of the Void to take back this tentacle——
To untie a bell, one must tie it. It is said that this proverb is one of the philosophical treasures left by the divine phoenix from the east in the jade garden.
However, I guess Shenfeng must not have thought of it.
Elves use this golden rule literally."
"In the subsequent discussion, the Presbyterians agreed with Lance's crazy idea, and they wanted to take a gamble..."
Hear this.
Even Matthew couldn't help but shake his head and cursed "Fuck!".
These elves are really mean and wild.
I would rather believe in the magician's bewitchment than maintain my arrogance towards human beings.
Maybe it was because he was fucked by the other person once, but he developed a psychology of dependence and obsession?
Matthew can understand.
But there is absolutely no empathy.
"It's pretty fucked up."
Fandral smiled and patted Matthew on the shoulder:
"According to the original plan, we planned to let the situation develop on its own."
"After all, it's easier to play the savior than to intervene beforehand."
"But what is somewhat unexpected this time is that after learning the news, another group of wood elves actually took self-rescue action!"
"They gathered some troops and civilians internally and directly controlled most members of the Presbyterian Church."
"This incident happened in the past two weeks. In just half a month, Jade Cangting has not changed on the surface, but secretly a lot of blood has been shed. Now the situation has gradually stabilized, but the Presbyterian Church and Liu Ye
There are still quite a number of important officials in the agency facing imprisonment..."
coup?
Matthew was a little surprised.
This word is still relatively rare for the elves.
As a highly exclusive race.
Most elves still maintain a high degree of obedience and respect for the internal hierarchy and power.
Matthew thought for a moment.
Internal rebellions have rarely occurred in the history of the elves.
It just happened at this point...
"The timing is a bit of a coincidence."
Matthew said this.
Fandral nodded:
"This is actually neutral news for us. The Silver Council is still studying whether the coup broke out accidentally or was deliberate."
"The information that has been found out is that the leader of the opposition is the Elf Sword Master Tyrast who has lived in seclusion for many years.
After Terraste resigned as Grand Marshal of the Windseekers, he devoted himself to studying the art of swordsong.
Although he lives in seclusion deep in the forest.
But every generation of young Jian Yong has the opportunity to learn one or two sword skills from his hands.
And many of these Sword Chanters later became officers of the Wind Chasers or other armies.
Tyrast himself has great influence over the Windseekers.
This time I came out of the mountain suddenly.
Combined with the previously exposed news of the Presbyterian Church uniting with the Warlocks.
He almost responded to everyone's call in the city.
Due to Tyrast's strong appeal, although a lot of blood was shed in this coup, the worst scene for the elves never happened——
At least they will not break out into a larger civil war because of this coup.
After the coup.
The Willow Leaf Organization, which is inextricably linked to the Presbyterian Church, was instantly paralyzed.
There are many things in the city that cannot continue as usual.
Gradually, people complained about this.
But most elves still hope that Tyrast can take charge of the overall situation..."
Terraste?
It's not surprising to hear the name Matthew.
The information Biana told Matthew about the warlock Lance was most likely learned from Terraste's daughter Tyrani.
They didn't exactly sit still.
It actually made Matthew look at some wood elves with admiration.
"Then it's Terraste who has the final say in Jade Cangting now?"
"His attitude towards the Alliance is better than that of the Presbyterian Church?"
Matthew speculated.
Fandral smiled and shook his head:
"No, Terraste's attitude towards the Alliance is worse than that of the Presbyterian Church!"
"He is an extreme elf supremacist. He resigned from the position of Marshal of the Wind Chasers because he could not see the hope of the elves conquering the world, so he became discouraged."
"He is extremely hostile to all outsiders, but having devoted himself to practicing the art of sword chanting for so many years, Terraste has certainly become more tactful than when he was young."
"He knows that the current Jade Cangting not only cannot offend the alliance, but also relies on us in many aspects, so the policy he is pursuing now is to ignore us."
Matthew thought for a while:
"That means pretending we don't exist?"
Fandral laughed and said:
"That's it."
"I guess even if you went to Jade Cangting and fell in love with the female elf next to him, he would pretend not to see you and even walk away quickly to avoid greater embarrassment."
Matthew shook his head:
"What a weird old man."
Fandral agreed:
"Although the old man is awkward, he is still somewhat sensible."
"He is only slightly better than those lunatics from the Presbyterian Church, but for the wood elves, this limited ability can save them a lot of losses."
"However, I personally admire Terraste. He is not a person obsessed with power. After the coup was successful, he repeatedly declared that he had no intention of becoming king.
Although this move can bring his reputation to a higher level, it will also make his subsequent actions very passive——
As of now.
He really wants to continue living in seclusion after working for the Presbyterian Church, which is quite unexpected."
Matthew also raised his eyebrows.
Fandral continued with emotion:
"This is the current situation in Jade Cangting.
The warlock Lance ran away and took away a few ignorant female elves. Compared with his last curtain call, he was bleak. After all, the last time he played was the Elf Queen;
Terraste was unwilling to assume power, and those who followed him in raising an army were unable to take charge.
For a moment, people in the city were in panic, and no one knew who the next leader would be who could lead the elves forward.
The royal family of the wood elves has become weak since the outbreak of the Mark of the Dead. The elven queen's lineage even chose to go into self-exile and has never been close to the center of politics and power for many years;
There are currently various voices coming out from the public.
