"Hahahaha, I knew you would say that. Because your thoughts and motives are always so simple and direct, and you almost never hide them."
Corellon couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh.
This is also one of his favorite places about Zuo Si.
Because as long as you are willing to pay, you will definitely get huge rewards from the other party in the future.
Take the elves of Faerûn as an example. Since the restoration of the Kingdom of Cormanthor and the joining of the Trade Alliance, they have successfully reintegrated into the world system and gained the corresponding right to speak.
And there is no longer any need to worry that beautiful and handsome elves will become the targets of slave traders, or be suddenly attacked by monsters, orcs and human racists. The overall population growth rate is very fast, even exceeding the past historical peak.
.
Of course, there are also many potions and sex toys that contribute to this.
In particular, a large number of stockings, underwear, perfumes, and magical drugs that can stimulate instinct and desire, as well as magic drugs that can increase body sensitivity, have greatly increased the frequency of mating among the originally slightly frigid elves, almost reaching several times or even ten times the normal level.
several times.
It has even spawned a large amount of artistic inspiration in this area and created one masterpiece after another that amazes the world.
You must know that in the past, elves' paintings, sculptures and handicrafts mainly pursued the beauty of color, line and overall integration with nature.
But now they are beginning to pursue a realistic style, especially the shaping of the body that has become muscular and layered, somewhat similar to the style of ancient Greek sculptures, but with the unique delicacy and delicacy of elves.
This undoubtedly makes the elven gods who are passionate about art very happy.
Although some old-fashioned people think this is a sign of some kind of degeneration and should be slightly restricted.
But Corellon felt it was completely unnecessary.
Because the release of this kind of instinct and desire has not developed to the level of the Dark Eldar in another universe, and it can also add a BUFF that is beneficial to fertility, it is simply the best gift for the sparsely populated Elf race.
The most important thing is that they no longer need to isolate themselves, and can contact humans, dwarves, gnomes, halflings, and even former enemies orcs at any time to do business, make friends, or carry out diplomatic activities.
This kind of interaction and competition can be said to be crucial to the promotion of civilization.
No closed civilization can continue for a long time, and it often gradually moves toward self-destruction and demise while remaining stuck in its ways.
In fact, for the elves as a race, Corellon does not blindly protect and pamper them, let alone one or two villages or cities being enslaved, massacred, and destroyed.
What he really cares about is the development and continuation of the race as a whole.
Otherwise, when the elves retreat, they will not sit back and watch as the elves in Kalimshan, Tethyr, Amn and other areas become slaves of humans in large numbers.
To be exact, several Crown Wars and the fall of the dark elves made him very angry, and he wanted to use this method to make the elves of Faerûn remember their lessons and ensure that similar mistakes would not be made again in the future.
"Simple? Direct? Undisguised? I think many people may not agree with your point of view. In their view, I am a big devil who combines insidiousness, cunning, lies, and scheming. They must be careful to guard against it."
Okay." Zuo Si mocked himself in a half-joking tone.
But Corellon smiled and shook his head: "No, that's because they don't understand you.
In fact, you have always been a person with very clear goals.
That is the pursuit of power beyond all else.
And there was never even the slightest bit of confusion from beginning to end.
Those who are against you simply don't understand that there is no need for them to stand in your way.
Because your goals do not conflict with theirs, they can even complement each other to some extent.
Many times a few concessions and gifts can gain your friendship and receive unimaginable huge rewards in the future."
There is no doubt that the Elf Lord is one of the very few people in this universe who truly understands and sees through Zuo Si, apart from the God of Knowledge.
He directly transcended the complex manifestations and saw the essence of things hidden in the deepest place.
Zuo Si stared at the other person's eyes for a long time before slowly responding: "You are right. It's a pity that there are too few people who understand this."
"yes.
There are always too many fools looking for trouble in this world and even the entire universe, so there will be all kinds of conflicts and confrontations, as well as endless wars.
So I want my children to focus more on being happy rather than being a part of it.
But they always disappoint me.
Especially Aroshi (Lolth's former name when she was still a member of the elven pantheon).
I once had unparalleled expectations for her, but in the end she lost herself in the struggle for conspiracy and power and chose betrayal.
Promise me not to kill her no matter what, okay?
No matter what, she is my daughter and wife."
Corellon's tone was filled with deep regret and sadness.
It can be seen that his feelings for the Spider Queen are very deep, so deep that even now he is unwilling to hurt her.
No wonder Rose has been brazenly making small moves, even trying to corrupt young new members of the elven pantheon, and trying to form a coalition to invade Arvandor.
"Please don't worry, even if it's not for your sake, I will let her go for the sake of Abyss Will."
Zuo Si made the promise without thinking.
After all, the identity of the Spider Queen is too special, and she is protected by two beings that are even more terrifying than powerful gods. Killing her is totally not worth the gain.
In contrast, appropriate weakening is the right choice.
After getting the answer he wanted, a look of satisfaction appeared on Corellon's face: "Thank you very much.
I owe you a favor this time, and I will give you a small gift later.
Also, remember not to intervene too early.
I want Eilistraee to have a little longer memory in this incident.
She is too naive and immature, always thinking that she can save the entire dark elf clan with her own power.
But in fact, compared to A Luoshi, her plans are as childish and ridiculous as a three-year-old child."
"clear!"
Zuo Si agreed very simply.
He understood what this Elf Lord meant.
Just as Corellon said, the gap between the Dark Maiden Eilistraee and Rose is too big.
This gap is not just about believers, influence and divine power levels, but also about the understanding of one's own field and camp.
Take the Spider Queen as an example. She has deeply understood that the chaos of the dark elves stems from fear rather than evil.
The pleasure of chaos is to savor the humbleness, cowardice and obedience of ordinary people in front of oneself, to subvert the foundation of all things, and to master every trick that can cause disaster.
And these are things that ordinary dark elves cannot truly understand and appreciate throughout their lives.
Rose loved this ignorance of the believers.
But for ordinary dark elves, chaos means that individuals can gain benefits from it, and it means that they can continuously climb to the peak of power through conspiracy, betrayal, assassination and blood, until they are above everyone else.
Through this subtle influence, this chaotic and evil goddess has already deeply ingrained something into the culture and genes of the dark elves, which cannot be changed overnight.
That's why Eilistraee and Velen were defeated miserably in the Battle of the Spider Queen, losing to their own mothers.
Because they neither understand what true chaos is, nor what true evil is.
This is like the duel between two people described in many books and movies. One person is far superior to the other in terms of realm, and the latter obviously has no chance of winning.
At least in Zuo Si's eyes, the so-called "War of the Spider Queen" was not an adventure or a gamble, but a trap set by Rose.
"See you later."
After saying these words, Corellon's incarnation disappeared instantly.
Zuo Si, on the other hand, watched with great interest the commotion in the Dark Area for a while before turning and leaving.
…
There is no doubt that for the residents of the surface world of Faerûn, the drastic changes taking place in the underground world are even far less noticeable than the end of the civil war between the red-robed mage Ser.
Because after Sazastan declared himself to be a lifelong dictator, he immediately integrated the forces of the two factions and launched a surprise attack on the bordering Mulhorand Empire.
In less than a week, the battle line was pushed directly to the banks of the Rosen River, and countless villages and towns were completely reduced to ruins in the massacre of the undead and construct armies.
The airships and cannons originally prepared for each other were all thrown in, directly dealing a heavy blow to the Mulhorand Empire, which was unprepared and was in the process of transitioning from divine power to secular power.
