"We can no longer tolerate the status quo. It is only a matter of time before we start a conflict with humans."
The topic has been made clear, and it would be unwise and rude to cover up or deny it. Tier openly expressed the temperature of observation and testing.
“The [revolution] you are talking about—how will it be carried out?”
"good question."[
The hands that put down the teacups collided together, making a low impact sound, and an appreciative smile appeared on the delicate, sculptural face.
Thiel's speech deserves such praise. A prudent question that is a thousand times better than a shallow and reckless opening statement such as "When will we do it" or "Let's work together" deserves this honor.
"First of all, the strength of the elves, including everyone in the Niflheim Valley, is still very weak. Although it is regrettable, this is a fact, and it cannot be changed in the short term. So at this stage, we can only stay dormant and endure. This is due to the current situation.
It’s decided, there’s no way.”
He raised his right hand and stopped in front of Thor's flushed face. He understood the other person's thoughts, but continued with a smile that refused to be interrupted by others:
"We are not just maintaining the status quo, Mr. Thor. The foolish behavior of doing nothing will not be tolerated. You will not, and I will not tolerate such stupid things as wasting time."
"Um... I'm from the country. It's really tiring to use honorifics. Can you change the way of addressing me? At least remove the word "herr"? I feel like an old man..."
Scratching the back of his head in embarrassment, the tall elf boy known for his strength looked quite simple and cute in his awkward expression. Tyr, who had always remained serious, couldn't help laughing and raised the corners of his mouth. Li Lin shrugged, and an apologetic wry smile appeared on his face.
superior.
"It's me who should be sorry. I have been hanging out with a group of guys who are older than me and can't help but worry. Unknowingly, when I speak, I have a bald middle-aged accent."
I have never seen the so-called [middle-aged office workers] as a human group, but the scene of the black-haired boy in front of me rubbing his shoulders and sighing and grumbling like a middle-aged uncle is very [unique].
To be honest, as a comedy that enlivens the atmosphere, it's pretty good.
"You are too greedy, Li Lin."
Tier laughed narrowly and said in a deliberately accusatory tone:
"Not to mention that [ancient species]. Look around you - here, there are dwarfs and killers. We are about the same grade as you, but there is not a [middle-aged uncle] around you. They
You never even look at us seriously. At this point, you are not satisfied at all, and you still complain to us. I have to say, you are really a picky and greedy ghost."
"Only relying on them, we are still far away from achieving world change."
The fingers were intertwined and placed on the simple wooden table, and the playful smile was no longer in the red eyes.
"You must understand that the world of Tyr is very vast. Suppose a young traveler suddenly had a whim and started a journey around the world. Without the help of transportation, he would only be able to carry his future with him until the day he grows old and dies.
It is a pity that I can end my life by traveling around the world. Even if all the elves of Niflheim Valley and these middle-aged subordinates are dispatched, it is impossible to shake the system that runs the world. Occupying a small town is probably the upper limit. A reckless move.
I think you are well aware of the fact that failure to achieve the goal will result in unnecessary losses. In order to avoid attracting the enemy's attention, I have specially prepared a strategy."
Taking a sip of the bitter tea that had gone cold, Li Lin's careless posture was met with a face that expected to change with the ups and downs of his mood.
"Hide your strength and bide your time."
The sloppy smile reflected on Tyr's retina turned into a sarcastic and mean one, as if blurting out words that sounded like philosophy or some kind of strategy was a strange thing.[
That is indeed a strategy. It is a word that has been used badly in another world. It is a strategy that few rulers and countries can persist in. Whether the elves can adopt it and persist in it is yet to be seen.
The gap between the elves and the forces that dominate this world is far greater than the contrast between the two major powers at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century on Earth, and the geopolitical situation is even worse. I want to recreate the romantic drama between the superpowers on both sides of the Pacific.
(Note) This is completely impossible and not necessary.
But there is no problem with the strategy itself. It only needs to be adjusted initially according to the actual situation. It is also applicable to the elves.
"You don't need to understand overly complicated strategies just yet. Just continue with your daily routine. I will slowly explain it in detail at the appropriate time."
The relaxed words dispelled the fog of thinking that made the two elves fall into unknown things and became unsustainable. However, the unclear end of the topic made them feel a little dissatisfied, their faces were still serious, and their breathing rate increased slightly.
"How about taking my companion with me to go to the human market tomorrow? Oh, by the way. That place should be called the [Black Market]."
Facing the narrowed smiles with red eyes, Tyr and Thor were speechless.
############
a group of young elves;
They were going to follow a guy of unknown ethnicity, who was still a teenager, to go out to the valley to do some activities!
Were they going to a human market or a black market!!
——【This is really crazy.】
After learning this shocking news, Emil only had this sentence constantly swirling and amplifying in his mind, and his tall and thin body was trembling with anger.
Like all old and stubborn grandfathers, Emil would not approve of such a dangerous idea, let alone allow those little bastards to put such a crazy idea into practice.
He will definitely prevent this kind of thing from happening, whether it is to tie up all the young people in the village with ropes or to break the legs of the gangsters with crutches.
The gangsters can get out of the Niflheim Valley, but they must cross the body of an old elf who truly loved the village and life!
With the consciousness of risking his own life, Patriarch Emir leaned on his crutch and stared at the young man in front of him who was making a wry smile. His eyes that were usually full of majesty and reserve seemed to be able to shoot out deadly flames at this moment.
It's this kid again!
Emir hates humans, hates orcs, is wary of dangerous species, and is wary of dwarves and dwarfs...
Except for the Mother Goddess Mafa, regardless of whether they are intelligent or dangerous species, as long as the opponent is not an elf, they will enjoy the hostile attitude of the Emir patriarch. But Li Lin, who has only recently arrived in the valley, easily stands out from many powerful opponents.
In one fell swoop, he became the most hated object of the old patriarch - absolutely no one!
He deceived his kind-hearted granddaughter and shamelessly moved into this peaceful valley. He started to play with evil things without stopping for a moment, and now he even lures these ignorant little bastards in the village to go outside the valley!
What does he want to do? He doesn’t think his luck in love is good enough, but he still wants to have luck in chrysanthemums? Establish a ** that caters to both men and women? [
The overly angry Patriarch Emil did not notice at all that due to his emotional excitement and prejudice, his speculation about Li Lin had completely deviated from the facts and was close to the scope of "delusion".
[Although he is a clan leader, his magnanimity can only reach this level. 】
Beneath the wry smile, a comment that had lost its warmth flashed past. The old man's face was flushed with anger and his body was shaking. It showed that this respected old elf was very angry now and would not listen to persuasion and was unwilling to do anything.
Any compromise.
Doesn't matter.
No matter how angry the old elf is, he can't change the established events and rhythm, unless he causes something wrong with his body because of his anger... That situation would be more troublesome.
It will not be impossible to clean up, but the sadness that pervades the village will undoubtedly destroy the image Li Lin has established in the minds of the elves so far. There is no doubt that Li Lin, the initiator of the incident, should be directly responsible for the sudden health problems of the clan leader.
Responsibility. The time spent waiting for the physical recovery of Patriarch Emir, as well as the time and energy spent on rebuilding the basis of communication with the elves will continue to increase or even double, which is really unnecessary trouble.
At this stage, Emil Fredericia's health is most in line with the needs of the plan. At this moment, the old patriarch is very angry, and the consequences will be serious.
There won't be any bad results.
The alternative plan that had been fully acted out in advance was instilled, and the wry smile faded a bit. Li Lin respectfully handed over a parchment filled with densely written reptile killers.
Just the right apologetic smile, a respectful but not humble attitude, a dignified body with a slight bow, and a gesture with both hands.
The most critical view of human etiquette education cannot pick out the bones in the entire process.
The resistant and indifferent attitude continued for a moment, and the old man, still full of anger, took the piece of tissue paper like a troubled child.
The old patriarch may have occupied a certain moral high ground, but it will not always be so. Moreover, Li Lin showed enough respect for him from beginning to end, instead of contradicting and offending him. He did not want the tribesmen to think that he was the kind of [unreasonable person]
If he is a stubborn person, the Emir patriarch must also show some tolerance.
The old patriarch was indeed very angry, but not to the point of losing his mind.
——It is precisely because he is a person who can control his emotions and think that Li Lin's little trick has a chance to be implemented.
As a clan leader, you must be able to read and write. Even in the days of exile, the elves did not relax the education of the next generation, and miraculously retained most of their customs, language and culture. Considering the harsh environment
Factors, it is indeed a great achievement that is not easy.
At this moment [this is a very hard-won undertaking], the withered hands of the Emir Patriarch holding the parchment were trembling as if they were suffering from a stroke or other acute illness. After reading the last line of text, the old Patriarch was like an unfilial son who discovered that there was a letter in the will of his elder.
Li's eyes widened as his name did not appear in the content about property distribution, and he began to reread it more carefully. In the end, as if he had seen some incomprehensible and bizarre event, he stood dumbfounded in the open space of the village and was at a loss.
Livestock, farm tools, ironware, seeds, wood...
Written on the paper were the names, quantities, and estimated prices of necessities. It was a huge expense for this poor little village. It might not be possible to buy all the things that could be exchanged for money in the village.
I think about these [good things] day and night.
What does Li Lin want to do?
"Dear Emir Chief, the proceeds from the sale of the newly made porcelain will be used to purchase the goods on the list. With so many livestock, farm tools, etc., I cannot bring them back to the village smoothly by myself, so I can only invite the young men from the village to come.
Help. Of course, I can't use that much by myself, so except for the necessary amount, everything else will be distributed to the village as a reward for everyone's care for me and my subordinates during this temporary stay. There is no prior consultation with
Please discuss it, I'm really sorry."
Behind the gentle smile, the old emir could vaguely see the little fox's wagging tail, and at the same time he could see the expectant eyes of the villagers, whether they were young people, children or adults.
The feeling of complete isolation coupled with the feeling of strength that was difficult to move forward and retreat hit the old elf. He frowned and stood blankly for a moment, as if sighing, as if he dropped his hand in frustration. The weight of the thin paper in his hand was really too heavy.
.
"Let me think about it, let me think about it..."
He must seriously sort out and think about the entanglement in his heart, even though the answer has already been determined.

Note: Friends who have watched "That Year of the Rabbit" should be familiar with the conflict between the Rabbit and the Eagle. Yes, in many things, the two families are basically venting their anger from the same nostril. Here is a case
: The unfortunate Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty has not yet entered into force, because there are still many countries that have not signed it. For example, the White Elephant, Baba, Beibang, East Timor, Sudan, and Palestine; there are also those who have signed and said that their countries have not ratified it.
, such as the Persian Lion, the Davidic Kingdom, Ghana, Liberia, Nepal, and The Gambia. The Bald Eagle and the Rabbit, the two gangster leaders who took the lead in signing the signing table, did not ratify the treaty. All these two permanent gangster countries are
Suspension. Our Congress and people are very busy, and this matter must be carefully reviewed... As a result, Gallic Chicken and Big Hairy Bear found themselves cheated, because their Congress and Duma acted quickly and had already approved it.
ps: I came back from the hospital for examination, and the situation is not optimistic. I have a viral cold, mild pneumonia, and acute keratitis. I have to hang up the sling bottle in the afternoon. I will check the situation in the evening. In addition, those who understand Japanese can watch the video... The speech of the obscene beast is probably true.
