Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

"Elsa has issued an order, ordering me to give the box to you."

Under the gaze of the elves, Kalaja half-knelt and presented the box to Daxus in an extremely solemn manner.

"What is this?" When Dacus heard Aisha, he immediately thought of something and his face became serious. He stood up and took the box with a serious attitude. He couldn't help but glance at Drusala. After seeing Drusala nod in confirmation, he carefully placed the box on the table.

After exchanging a glance with Maranul who was approaching, Dacus slowly opened the lid of the box, and a mysterious and soft light emanated from the inside of the box. He took out a gem from it and held it towards the sun. The fluid texture of the gem made him feel as if the gem was flowing gently, emitting endless natural power. The green light shone in the sun, as if there was a vibrant forest hidden inside.

"Tears of Elsa?!" Fenrir suddenly stood up from his chair and made a shocked and confused sound.

Fenrir's performance was like that of a representative, and all the elves were stunned, their eyes filled with awe and disbelief.

The Tear of Aisha is a legendary relic, a powerful gem that is said to allow elves to communicate with Aisha. In one of the oldest legends of the elves, at the beginning of time, when the first elves were born from Aisha and Kurnos, the "Creator God" Asuryan made a judgment on the couple's children.

Asuryan asserted that the elves would have extremely long lives, but would eventually grow tired of the world and die. For this reason, Aisha, who loved children deeply, shed tears for the fate of the elves in extreme sorrow.

Val took pity on Elsa and the elves and he took the shining tears to his forge where he forged them into shining gems. Then with Lilith's blessing he transformed the gems so that Elsa could observe and communicate with the children as they looked at them.

Of course, this is just a legend...but it doesn't mean that Aisha's Tears don't exist.

Elsa's power is reflected in the gemstone, which can be used to heal the trauma of the soul, but of course it cannot dispel the darkness from the soul, otherwise Ariel's problem would have been solved long ago. In addition to healing soul trauma, the gemstone can also be used to cast powerful magic, giving its holder great wisdom and knowledge.

In the legend of the elves, there are twelve such gems. Of course, there are also claims that there are only seven, and another unacceptable claim that there are a full twenty. Unlike Hecate's eight brass rings, which correspond to the eight winds of magic, perhaps only Val knows how many Tears of Elsa there are.

One of the known gems is located in the White Tower of Hoeth, guarded by the Archmage and the Swordmasters. It is said that the Supreme Magic Swordsmen of all times would communicate with Aisha through the gem. As for whether they can really communicate, Daxus does not know, but he knows that there is indeed one in the White Tower of Hoeth, otherwise Fenrir would not have recognized it immediately and reacted so strongly.

Two of them are held by the Koris family of the Kingdom of Nagarys, whose origins can be traced back to the ancient times before the Great Invasion. It is said that the two ancestors of the family were chosen by Aisha. These two powerful legendary heroes were given two magical swords forged by Val himself, called "Sennakian" and "Elrean", each embedded with the Tears of Aisha.

Another is believed to be hidden in the Forest of Avalon, guarded by successive Everqueens, and yet another is said to be hidden in the Oak of Ages in Athel Loren.

Therefore, the claim that there are only seven Elsa Tears may not be true, as there are three in the box... Of course, it is also possible that the one from the Oak of the Hidden Age is in the box.

Daxus played with the green gemstone that was like liquid, as if it had gathered the vitality of the entire world. As the light flowed, he could vaguely see countless flowers, plants and trees growing in it. The breath of the forest filled his face, making him feel like he was in a lush primeval forest. The vibrant feeling made him forget all his worries in an instant, and his mind was purified and sublimated.

The entire venue was silent. Every elf was deeply attracted by this strange gem and shocked by the brilliance of Aisha's tears. The green fluid-like gem, like a beating heart, conveyed the pulse of nature and the rhythm of life to every elf. They felt the power of nature and Aisha's gift. In their eyes, this was not just a gem, but also a symbol, a symbol of the deep connection between the elves and nature. But such a gem actually appeared in Daquus's hands.

After admiring it for a while, Dacus carefully placed the gem in the box and closed the lid. This box was one of the reasons why he came to the Old World. He was looking for something that could heal Master Hui's soul. In his opinion, if Aisha's Tears didn't work, he could only ask Nurgle for a bowl of soup? Now, he got three gems, one for Master Hui, one for Master Wu found on the island of Orbion, and as for the last one, he could keep it for future use?

"It seems that Aisha who appeared in another form will not show up. Well, let's continue the meeting." Daxus clapped his hands to wake up the elves who were still in shock.

"After the meeting, I will go to the Winter Dome. If I am correct, the legendary Tal Idana is there. When Tal Idana is activated, Tal Sinan will resume operation. Do you understand the meaning of this?"

"A settlement like Tal Litanel? Is that okay?" After a moment of discussion among the recovered Asrai spellcasters, Ms. Tavariya asked cautiously as a representative.

"Of course, a settlement. The population here is too small. So small that the combined population of the twelve territories is less than 50,000? You need a real settlement, similar to Tal Litanel and Cole Imamor in Lauren Loren? After Tal Idana is activated, Tal Sinan will ease the surrounding magical winds and adjust the magical winds to a state acceptable to the elves."

"Is this really possible?" The forest lords who understood Daxus's meaning this time also joined the discussion. They exchanged opinions with each other. In their opinion, this is a good thing for Asrai and for them. If they really have a choice, they don't want to be like before. Finally, Tyrandor, as a representative, asked about his troubles.

"Why not? Like I said just now, some rules should be re-established. The spires that the elves are proud of will appear in Athel Loren. Anyway, there are plenty of stone gray mountains. I just don't know if your craftsmanship has been lost." Daxus asked back with a shrug and spread his hands.

"us?"

"The agreement you signed with Blueyd remains unchanged. Your traditions, customs, and beliefs remain the same as before, and the ecology of the forest is maintained. I think this is very good, but some things should be adjusted!"

The Aslai became serious again, knowing that Daqiu was going to make a request.

"Skarlock."

After hearing Dacus' call, Scarlock, who had not spoken, stood up from his chair, saluted Dacus, and pretended to bow his head and listen to his instructions.

"The future will be different from the past. After the settlements appear, the population will increase exponentially, and the materials consumed will also increase exponentially. Since we have chosen to maintain the forest ecology, we must make adjustments." Seeing Skarlock nod in agreement, Dacus continued, "There is a Dragon Rock Castle on the other side of the Gray Mountains, which is close to the Empire. Unfortunately, this castle that has stood for a thousand years is right on the way we came, so... it disappeared. We have gained some benefits from it, a large amount of human coins. Later, I will count these coins and give them to you to manage. How about it?"

The money had already been distributed as spoils of war, regardless of whether it was spent or not, every participant had a share. But there was no place to spend it along the way, and at most the money flowed into other pockets through gambling. However, this did not prevent Dacus from preparing to collect it back and make up for it when he returned to the new world. Anyway, he was not short of money.

"My Lord...I still don't quite understand."

"Later, the skinks will cultivate magical fields by the river and raise a variety of insects in a large dome filled with buzzing sounds. But this cannot support the overall consumption of the Lizardmen. When I return to the New World, I will use the World Roots to recruit some more Lizardmen and Behemoths. This place is too important for us and for this world. You don't know much about the Lizardmen. Lizardmen, monitors and behemoths need meat to replenish their energy. Similarly, the agreement you signed with Blueyd cannot support the needs of future settlements. These issues need to be considered."

As Daxus was talking, he suddenly thought of a famous scene. Fortunately, he held himself back and didn't laugh.

I was born a hunter. At this time of year in previous years, I could catch 1,000 kilograms of prey in half a month. I think there are more than 1,000 young hunters in Hutou Mountain. If we organize them to go hunting in the mountains, we can definitely catch 1 million kilograms of meat in two months.

This is not Hutou Mountain, but Xumi Mountain. It's a copy, right? Wild monsters automatically refresh at midnight...

"I seem to understand. I use this money to trade with humans in exchange for meat?" Scarlock asked slowly after thinking it over.

"That's about it. We'll discuss the details later. Athel Loren's foreign policy needs to be adjusted and more open. Do you have any questions?" Daxus decided to give this task to Skarlok. He knew Skarlok to a certain extent. He was a very extraordinary person, a legendary wanderer who could shoot arrows into Morgul's eyes. (Introduced in 478)
Skarlok is often seen outside of Athel Loren, dealing with humans, and in the realm of humans, the Skarlok Archers are widely regarded as one of the finest teams available for hire. However, his true reward is always the opportunity to witness his employer's army in action and bring that information back to Athel Loren.

During the Last Days, the final battle of Ulthuan, the Skarlock Archers flourished under the leadership of Moranna, Liv and Skarlock.

The Asrai had no objection or doubt. They thought what Dacus said was right. They thought it was inevitable. The Asrai's foreign policy was different from before. They had appeared outside the forest many times and had lost their mystery. People living outside the forest knew about them living in the forest.

Dacus, who was ready to make a big move, snapped his fingers at Finubar, waking up Finubar who was in a sleepwalking state, but Finubar remained as before until Bel-Ehor gently pushed his father.

"Ms. Areida, are you able to, or are you willing to, communicate with humans?" While Finnubar, who was on standby, was still waking up, Daxus turned his attention to Areida.

During the Skaven Red Pox, Areda, as the commander of the Asrai army, fought alongside the Bretonnians, relieved Brione and drove the Skaven out of the surface. To commemorate this great victory, Bretonnia awarded Areda the title of Honorary Knight. When in contact with humans, she always remained polite, but when she left humans, she took off the medals awarded to her by humans and threw them on the ground like garbage.

It's been hundreds of years since the Red Pox, and humans' life span is still there. But Areda is still here, she still has the ability to communicate with humans, and she is also an honorary knight of Bretonnia...

"I hate those monkeys!" said the veiled Areda, standing up. "I don't want to do it, but I will do it if you want me to."

"Very good." Dacus nodded, then looked at Finnubar who cast his gaze over and said, "Are you interested in doing business?"

"What?" Finubar had already deeply realized how powerful Daxus was. He forced himself to respond in order to prevent himself from falling into the trap and making the situation even more irreversible.

"Trade between Asur and Asrai, trade between Ulthuan and Athel Loren, bringing Asur ships to Brione or directly to Quinares, and the goods of Men carried across the Brien to the borders of Athel Loren."

"Is this charity?" Finnubar was a little speechless for a moment. He was a little confused, but he also understood a little. If this was said by another Duruchi, it would sound like a fairy tale to him, a kind of black humor, but Dacus was different. He thought a lot at once, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked.

"I don't think so. What happened between us is between us. It has nothing to do with Asrai. They need support. You know, protecting the world is our responsibility as elves. In my opinion, you are a very good choice."

"As far as I know, the entire coastline of Bretonnia is occupied by your ships." Finnubar was somewhat tempted and expressed his concerns. Politics is politics, and business is business. As the leader of a faction, he has a large group of people to take care of. Moreover, no matter what happens in the future, he has to report back to Ulthuan now. This is politics. Even if he gives up the election for Phoenix King, he must have some achievements to show for himself, increase his voice, and avoid being attacked by the traditionalists.

"But these ships cannot achieve the effect I want, and this is when the dictatorship system shows its benefits. After returning to Naggaroth, I will order the cessation of the Haxie Trial Voyage. The plundering ships of Druki will use Polrod as the boundary, and your fleet will sail smoothly into Brione. I think this business is feasible. Ulthuan may be interested in the crafts of Asrai and the fruits of Athel Loren? You have been here for a while, and I believe you have also tasted the Averring fruit. It is a very good experience, isn’t it?"

"From what I understand, the Briand River belongs to three different Bretonnian principalities?"

"You need not worry about that. You only need to ship the goods to Brione or Quinaris. I am sure Lady Areda... and that lady will take care of everything. When this trade route is established, the goods from Athel Loren, the South Kingdoms, and the three Bretonnian principalities will be shipped back to Ulthuan. This is truly a sure win. I am tempted by the thought."

In Dacius's opinion, the possibility of this being done was very high, very high. With the anchorage of Athel Loren, the value of Brione was reflected, and its importance was no less than that of Marienburg. The Brione River, which was about the same length as the Grismeri River, ran through Athel Loren and the southern part of Bretonnia. The river was quite wide, and ships entering the river from the estuary of the Kingdom of Brione could sail directly to the capital of the Kingdom of Quinaris.

Further up, the section from Quinaris to Athel Loren is shallower and requires flat-bottomed barges, but this is not a problem. Asrai and humans will handle this problem. In addition, the tributaries of the Brian River are densely covered with swamps, and the messy nobles in the north of Tyrell can let their ships pass through the Kingdom of Carcassonne to Quinaris for trade.

Money is the foundation of everything. With money, humans can arm more armies. Whether it is the three principalities of Bretonnia or Tyrell, they can play the role of outer barriers of Athel Loren from a strategic perspective, which is beneficial to Athel Loren and the world. Tariffs are easy to negotiate. The strength of the elves is there. Besides, there is still that lady. If it doesn't work, let that lady stand up and speak.

"Plus, this will also have some political benefits. Once our affairs are resolved, we will turn our attention to Elsing Alvin and exert our influence on humans."

"I need to discuss something." Although Dacus did not draw out much, Finnubar had roughly guessed the hidden words. He admitted that Dacus was right, and at the same time he also admired Dacus's political skills and vision, but he still did not agree immediately. He also had to save face, and some things should be discussed with Dacus in private.

"Do you have any ideas?" Daxus knew that Finubar was somewhat moved. Some things should be said in passing, so he turned his gaze to Skarlock.

"If the route of the Brian River is successfully opened, I will focus on Parawon, Uberek and Nuln. In addition, my lord... there should be a dark river hidden under the Gray Mountains between Tassain and Nuln."

Daxus's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand to motion for Skarlock to start talking.

"I have travelled deep into the Grismeri River... I have found the remains of a human vessel in a large cave."

"As expected of a 'Wanderer', your discovery is very valuable. This is an alternative route. Nuln is the second most populous city in the Empire and is known as the 'Crown Shining with a Thousand Jewels'. Can we explore it later?"

Although Skarlok didn't say much, he had said it all. The Asrai had no navigation skills, and Skarlok's discovery of human ships meant that humans had fallen at the last step, either because they had reached a fork in the road and were unable to turn around or because their supplies had run out, and they had lost the opportunity to come to Athel Loren to experience and write history.

Dacus first complimented Skarlok and provided him with some emotional value. In addition, he really didn't expect that there was an underground river connecting the left and right under the Gray Mountains, but it seemed that there was no problem after thinking about it. The source of the rivers on the left of Bretonnia and the Empire all originated from the Gray Mountains. It was normal to have an underground river, or perhaps more than one, but it was just like the underground sea under Naggaroth that had not been discovered?

With this underground river, we don't have to worry about Bretonnia choking us. The elves can lower the tariff to the lowest. After all, if it doesn't work, we can just go through the underground river and go around Rickland. As for what kind of ship can sail in the underground river, that's a technical problem. Narhap is here, he can solve this technical problem.

"Very good, then this matter is over? By the way, there is something I need to trouble you with."

Hearing what Dacus said, Skarlock stood up from his chair for the third time.

“I passed the dwarves on the way here. They raise giant-horned goats and long-haired mountain cattle on terraced fields and high pastures.”

After seeing Dacreus finish speaking, Skarlok bowed again and sat down. He understood what Dacreus meant. On a dark and windy night, he would bring some good hands to lead the cattle and sheep out of the fence. This was something he was good at, and he also didn't mind disgusting the dwarves. The elves present all looked at Dacreus, which made him feel a little embarrassed. But he thought his decision was right. He had been eyeing them on the way here. These cold-resistant cattle and sheep could be brought back to Naggaroth for breeding. The environment around Clarkarond and Hag Graef could be used for breeding, and so could Naggarond. As for the areas above... it didn't matter, that was not his base. Although the quantity was certainly not as good as Lustria, it was better to have some than not.

In addition, Alan Locke is close to the Gray Mountains, and the skin lizards can be raised in the mountains. A cunning rabbit has three burrows, and many hands can catch it. Anyway, he doesn't want to transmit supplies through the world roots unless it is absolutely necessary. He doesn't want to have this dependence, which is not good.

Regarding the cattle and sheep, Dacus had just suddenly thought of it on a whim. He had not planned to mention it at the meeting. He planned to steal the sheep while dealing with Gul. However, some Asrai did not think so. They thought that this was Dacus showing his superb political skills. They had no right to interfere with the behavior of the Lizardmen, but Dacus' words were already very clear. The Lizardmen would abide by the agreement and maintain the ecology of the forest like them.

The Asrai also knew that Alanlock was close to the Grey Mountains, and they knew that the key Winter Dome was there. When the time came, the Lizardmen would surround the Winter Dome, and the key to the settlement was in the Winter Dome. It was a series of combined punches that left them helpless. It was not like this when Orion and Ariel were still there. The incarnation couple did not have such high political skills.

"The next step is the key point of the meeting. At what level do you want to keep the currency? I want to hear your opinions. This is very important." Daxus adjusted his expression while speaking to make himself look more serious.

The Asrais discussed this for a long time. Although they didn't know why Dacus seemed so serious about this issue, they seemed to have sensed the key. If they made the wrong choice...

"On a diplomatic level?"

"In other words, you will still go with the collective mode as before?"

"Collective mode?" The Aslai looked at each other, not knowing what the collective mode meant by Daxus.

"Why do you have this reaction? To be honest, your reaction confuses me. Asuryan's fire, are you lacking some kind of theory?" Daxus shook his head speechlessly. He initially thought that this was just some roundabout trick of the Asurai, but it seems that it is not? He could tell from the expressions of the Asurai that they really didn't understand.

“In my opinion, it is historical and environmental reasons that have shaped the Asrai of today. Since you still choose to live in this forest, your pattern is destined to be different from that of the Duruchi, Asur and Ainel.

Collective mode, yes, collective mode. The collective mode contains three factors. Behaviorally, it is composed of parts whose salient features are manifested as abilities. Structurally, political society is seen as a means to transform abilities into a certain reality. Therefore, society is the key to collective life. "At this point, Dacus stopped and saw that some elves were recording in different ways.

"As a major socialization tool, political society is basically an educational organization whose purpose is to improve society itself. You have done a very good job in this regard. Really, in my opinion, the neighborhood gang is a very good educational organization.

The individual is merely a derivative of society, a derivative individual. In terms of norms, the collective is an ethical or moral component, so that the morality of the individual depends to a large extent on the social morality embodied in higher purposes such as kinship, political ideals, etc.

The collective model emphasizes uniformity rather than differences. It relies less on the free flow of ideas and more on focusing attention on specific goals. It has a "higher" morality than the secular liberal model because social life is directed toward the good of the group rather than the good of the individual self. It is more disciplined because more activities are focused on the priorities of the government. The collective model is important to Asrai because it is an alternative to the liberal model, which will disintegrate if the government loses the loyalty of the members of society and lacks consensus.

Dacus said a lot of overly theoretical things, but he thought it was necessary to let Asrai have a deep understanding of how he operated, and it was not important to show his political level. Of course, he did not say that equality in the economic field is usually seen as a goal achieved by ultimately eliminating private property, etc. This is a bit beyond the scope... Moreover, Asrai's society has also lost the concept of economy.

In his opinion, the collective model itself will not become obsolete, but the larger the collective, the more rigid it will be; the larger any organization, the faster it will age and decay; the more complex the structure, the more likely it will break. The problem with the collective model is that it has a short cycle and a low lifespan, and no one can violate the increase in entropy.

Naggaroth and Ulthuan certainly can't play this game, and neither can Laurent Loren, who has relatives in the city-state, but...is this not a problem in Athel Loren? The Asrai have been running this system for thousands of years without knowing it.

In Athel Loren, there is a completely autonomous Kindred tribe, where property is exchanged in equal proportions, and can be considered shared. Thousands of years of highly incestuous bonding within the Kinband ensures that members of the Kinband are not only blood-thicker-than-water, but also closely related, thus minimizing the corruption of kinship on the collective model.

The tribes only maintain a certain size. Once they exceed this range, new tribes will be formed. The separated tribes will swear allegiance to the woodland lord or noble family, become part of the family, and find new lands to establish closed communities on their own, and the cycle will repeat.

Moreover, the nobility of Asrai is different from the nobility of Asur.

The Woodland Lords are also known as the "Noble Folk". Each lord must ensure that his territory is not disturbed and has the ultimate responsibility and sovereignty over the forest areas where their followers live. Although the residents of Athel Loren are as proud as other elven races, they never let their arrogance endanger their homeland. Defending Athel Loren is what they consider to be the supreme mission. Only Athel Loren itself can stand above the pride, vanity and complacency of these people! It is their creed.

If a lord fails in their duty to the forest, they sometimes cede leadership to someone more capable. They then leave the halls, leave the safe paths, and take to the dark paths. There, they seek atonement and forgiveness, and some are never seen again, existing only in dreams and memories. Others return hours later, abnormally aged, as if they had lived through decades. A rare few return years later, rejuvenated by communion with the Enchanted Forest and filled with a sense of purpose and mission.

Unlike in Ulthuan and most of the known world, the Asirai make no distinction between male and female status and responsibilities in either military or peacetime, and within the noble houses of Athel Loren daughters are as likely as sons to inherit family titles and status. Asirai nobles usually inherit status by birth, though particularly valiant individuals are sometimes raised to higher positions of authority.

Hegliya was the daughter who inherited the right from her father. Karona, one of the four strongest hunters, was the actual inheritor. People like Skarlock, Grus, Terra, Elander, and Loslan relied on their personal bravery.

Everything in Athel Loren meets the conditions for the collective mode to operate. In this case, the collective mode is established and will continue to operate successfully.

Dacus's pure theory stunned the elves. After thousands of years of using this system, the Asrai finally came up with an abstract concept from him. It turned out that their system was called the collective model. When his speech ended, the entire venue fell into silence, and everyone was digesting Dacus's words.

This theoretical explanation not only allowed the Asrai to understand their own social structure, but also made them feel that their efforts and persistence over thousands of years were recognized.

The applause suddenly broke out, deafening.

Every Asrai was applauding Dacus's speech. This applause was not only a praise for Dacus personally, but also a recognition and pride of their own lifestyle.

"Now that you have made the choice, keep it." Daxus continued. Amid the applause, his voice was clearly heard by every elf present. "Of course, in order to adapt to the development of the times, we will still send young people out of Athel Loren to learn more knowledge. They will then choose whether to leave their families or come back to continue living and contribute to their own tribe."

"I'm curious, in your opinion, what model is Oshuan?" Marlene asked impatiently after the atmosphere was restored.

"Good question, good question, it's the secular-free model." Daxus looked at Marlene and said with emotion. He actually had a good impression of Marlene. If he reigned in Ulthuan, he might let Marlene take care of finances, as a link between the Druchi faction and the Kaihai faction, and become the Minister of Finance?

"Behaviorally, the liberal model includes two abilities, namely, the ability to reason and the ability to recognize self-interest. Structurally, the system must provide the greatest opportunity for the exercise of reason and the realization of self-interest. Thus, it emphasizes the establishment of a framework that can prevent coercion and establish limited government. Usually, the way to achieve this need is a representative government with checks and balances that prevent despotism. Normatively, this system takes certain basic rights as given."

Dacus stopped at the point, he didn't say anything else, such as the ultimate purpose of behavior is mainly expressed through religious beliefs, there is no social contract without religious beliefs, etc. His words are already quite offensive, and he could even start to curse.

“In addition, I don’t think the two modes are similar at all, they are more like running in parallel without interfering with each other.

What worked in Ulthuan doesn't work here, and what works here doesn't work in Ulthuan either. Is this more of a national issue? Rather than an institutional issue? So... it's good now." Daxus said, stretching out his hands and gesturing on the table. After he finished speaking, he stood up, but he didn't retract his hands, but opened them. "In my opinion, the elves should be a world empire, whether it is run by one system or multiple systems.

A super-large political integration around the Phoenix King that transcends national boundaries, emphasizes absolute strength and worldwide influence, and establishes the elves' dominant position in the world order!"

This was the first time that Dakwus published his own political declaration. In his opinion, this was the path that the elves should take and the responsibility they should bear. The Order Party could hold a meeting, but it had to be held in Lothern, not in Altdorf like in a certain CG animation, hosted by a +8 hammer.

As for the universal empire and the dual empire, forget it. There are not so many ethnic groups in the elves, and there will be no ethnic divisions in the future. Laurenloren is different from Athel Loren. Laurenloren's geographical location is destined to be the bridgehead for the elves to return to Elsin Arwen. The elves will use it as a forward base to expand to the forests in the north of the empire. The ethnic groups and politics there are bound to be different from Athel Loren, and they must be changed back.

Changing the Asrai model would bring nothing but chaos. In his opinion, it was more like an autonomous region, under the unified leadership of the Phoenix King, implementing the system of regional ethnic autonomy, with autonomous organs exercising autonomy and managing internal local affairs, rather than a annexed country like Texas. Moreover, he was not worried that the Asrai would think that Ulthuan was joining them, accept Ulthuan's joining Athel Loren, and reverse the master-servant relationship, and launch some independence movement.

The core of Athel Loren is in his hands. He is the landlord and holds the lifeline of Asrai. If he can drive out Ariel and Orion, he can drive out Asrai. Asrai's strength will expand after adjustment, but the strength of the forest spirits and lizardmen is also growing. The three parties are in a three-legged situation. The forest spirits and lizardmen are the ancient saints and are his staunch allies. Besides, there is still the Great Elf Empire.

Many elves' eyes sparkled, and even the Duruchi were stunned. They had never heard such words from Dakwus before. The elves kept savoring Dakwus' words, trying to imagine the blueprint he had drawn. Then the applause and clapping of the table rang out again, this time even more enthusiastic than the last time.

"Then comes the focus of this meeting." After the applause died down, Daxus prepared to serve tea, which was also the last course of the Western meal.

"The Senate is formed. It meets four times a year, once a quarter, on the spring equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox, and winter solstice. Meetings are held here to discuss diplomatic affairs involving neighbors or the defense of all of Athel Loren. Emergency Senate meetings can be called when necessary. Senators are respected warriors, ladies, watchers, and clergymen from the Twelve Territories. They will propose specific courses of action based on experience, but they themselves have no political power."

When Dacus said this, the Asrai didn't react much. They could accept the formation of the Senate, but the expressions of Ainir and Druch became a little strange...

"The Senate is governed by the High Council, which is composed of the Lords and Ladies of the Twelve, as well as the Prophets, Emissaries, and Priestess of the Three Goddesses of Athel Loren. The High Council is responsible for adjudicating matters in and around Athel Loren, receiving emissaries from Ulthuan, and determining the terms of the Treaty."

When Dacius said this, Tolandil and the members of the Cloud Walker family could not control their expressions. If they did not understand it at the beginning, now they completely understood that Dacius had moved the Lauren Loren method to Athel Loren.

"The High Council is managed by the Council of Three. When the High Council reaches a deadlock, the Council of Three needs to make the final decision. The members of the Council of Three are Dursu and Narhap behind me. The other member is a lord or lady. The twelve lords are rotated every year and the term of office is one year. Except for Lord Dais and Lord Amadi Ironbark who can voluntarily give up, other lords and ladies are not allowed to give up. During their term of office, they must coordinate the relationship between the elves, forest spirits and lizardmen. What I want to say is that you should learn Lizardmen, or teach the two Skin Lizard Priests behind me to speak Elsalin." When Daxus said this at the end, he began to imitate the hissing and crackling sounds of the Skin Lizards.

Just as the Anil and the others thought, Daxus did move the slightly adjusted Laurent system to Aesol Loren. In his opinion, this system was quite useful and in some ways impeccable, and could maintain the operation of the Asrai system.

Moreover, it was unrealistic to have a dictatorship or a one-man show here. He couldn't stay here every day. There were a lot of things to deal with in the new world, and that was his focus. He couldn't designate a certain lord or lady as his spokesperson. He wasn't that familiar with these lords and ladies. Designate Alaros? Why? Because he was Lilith's champion? He hadn't said a few words to Alaros from yesterday to now. Besides, many creatures would change after they had absolute power, and problems would arise over time.

After listening to Dacus's words without any intention to continue, the Aslai began to discuss. After discussing for a while, they found that there seemed to be nothing wrong with the system set up by Dacus? Their rights and powers were not lost as they had thought before.

On the contrary? And strengthened? When Orion and Ariel were there, they were also members of the parliament, but they were more like the senate members mentioned by Dacus, rather than members of the high parliament. What they had to do was to raise questions and make suggestions, and in the end, the two of them would make the final decision.

After discussing for a while, the Asrai focused their attention on Alaros.

"What about you? Should we..." After knowing that he was pushed out, Alaros stood up and asked the question that was of concern to him, which was also the question that all lords and ladies were concerned about.

"Me? Warriors of Lilith, I know what you are trying to say. My friends, at the level of the elves, I am Duruchi, not Aslai. I am the chief archon of Duruchi. You have no reason and no reason to pledge allegiance to me. As I said just now, this is not in line with the procedure. When the real second Phoenix King appears, it will be the time for you to pledge allegiance. At that time, you should leave here and go to Ulthuan."

After listening to Dacus' words, the Asrais were silent for a moment. But the silence was only for a moment. Alaros, who was still standing there, had a look of determination and trust in his eyes. He bowed deeply to Dacus.

"I understand your intention, and you have the right to make such a suggestion. We accept your proposal and wait for the true second Phoenix King to appear. Until then, we will follow your leadership." Alaros' voice was loud and firm. Since those lords and ladies who usually disliked him had pushed him out, he would go all out to represent them.

As he finished speaking, the Asrai beside him expressed their agreement and stood up one after another. They bowed to Dacus, their eyes revealing their respect and trust for Dacus.

"Next, I will stay here for a while to handle various matters, including the normal operation of the parliamentary system. By the way, from now on, the Twilight Sisters will be my speakers. They will not interfere in Asrai's affairs. They don't have to speak, but they will tell me, as Umak, what happened in the forest."

Finnubar, who had come to his senses, watched everything that happened as a witness. He found that things did not seem to be going in an uncontrollable direction. Without the rule of Ariel and Orion, Alais was still Asrai. Dacius, who defeated Orion and mastered the laws of Athel Loren, was not crowned as the new king of Athel Loren as he had expected. Dacius seemed to have thrown away the fruit he had obtained.

But in his opinion, as long as the lizardmen and forest spirits stood on Dacreus' side, Dacreus would always be the king of Athel Loren. He just changed his way to be clever and acceptable to everyone.

The fact that Duruchi did not form an alliance with the Asrai and even threw the trade agreement to the Asur might be a good thing in the eyes of the Asur. If he returned to Ulthuan and used a clever way to tell the story of what happened in Athel Loren, he would give a satisfactory answer and add a merit and voice to himself.

He prevented the alliance between Duruci and Asrai and signed a trade agreement with Asrai. The essence of the matter was like this, without any problems, and it was impeccable. At this moment, he understood why Dacuus let him go, let the Asur delegation go, and let him return to Ulthuan.

At the same time, he also knew that this was not the case. The second real Phoenix King was the node of everything and the key. When the second Phoenix King appeared, Asrai would no longer be independent. He saw the essence of the matter. The reason why Dacus did this must be that he knew something. The second Phoenix King was likely to appear in Duruchi. It was either Malekith who had not completed the process, or Dacus in front of him.

He even thought that Dacus had a greater chance of becoming the second Phoenix King than Malekith. He could deeply feel the incomparable personal charm that Dacus exuded. Dacus's words and deeds were full of confidence and calmness. He was broad-minded and did not stick to small details. Instead, he looked far ahead and focused on the bigger situation and the long-term future. In Dacus, he felt a fascinating demeanor and an irresistible force, like the brightest star in the sky, attracting everyone's attention, but not being moved.

In his opinion, if Darkus was Asur, he would definitely be the elite among the elites, the strongest among the strong, wise and brave, and full of wisdom, and full of passion to save the world and the interests of all elves. Unfortunately...

Marin, who was not far away, also watched Dacus talking to the Asrai, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. And regardless of other things, Dacus showed the meeting process, the preliminary arrangements, the responses and speeches in each link of the discussion, and the difficulties that could be encountered vividly, and finally achieved the purpose of the meeting. And all parties expressed satisfaction and support, and even Asur got the benefits, which was very rare and enough to reflect the control and leadership ability of the organizer of the meeting.

You know, this is basically impossible in Ulthuan. Unless it is on the verge of life and death, and a decision must be made immediately, usually a meeting will take months or even years to complete. (End of this chapter)
