Real elves vs fake elves

"Third, the border territory will begin reconstruction. Because of the trade with humans, this place will be built into a land trade port and commercial center. The more than 9,000 people of the White Deer Royal Court will basically move there."

There was no need for excessive exaggeration or explanation. Everyone present, except Aenarion, began to breathe heavily. It was obvious that this was a cake of astonishing size. It all depended on how the leader would take advantage of it.

"Here I propose that Lena be appointed as the lord of the border territory. Do you have any opinions?"

As soon as Aenarion finished speaking, it was Lyanna herself who first expressed her opposition.

"Sir... I don't think I have the ability to lead a border territory..."

"It's not like an elf to say such things." Aenarion turned to look at the others. "What about you?"

Da Xi immediately spoke up: "The border territory was saved because of you, so you should be in charge directly."

"If you really want to give it out as a reward, the recipient should also have sufficient merits."

Aenarion: "I accept your proposal. Now vote by show of hands."

The voting result was not surprising, and the border territory was directly governed by Aenarion himself.

After discussing several important issues, just as Aenarion was about to end the meeting with a few polite words, Catherine suddenly spoke.

As the speaker, she would of course express some issues on behalf of the Citizens' Assembly of Lothern.

"My Lord, everyone in the Council hopes to contribute to the future of Lothern... no, the Phoenix Court."

"If there is a real need for money, people are happy to donate generously."

Aenarion was startled when he heard this, then looked at Chancellor Catherine in surprise.

After a while, just as Speaker Catherine was feeling increasingly uneasy about her rash question, Aenarion spoke.

"How many new staff members have you recruited?"

"Is this aide well-informed about history, or is he himself a survivor of the Guangyi era?"

Speaker Catherine immediately sat up straight and answered: "She is a scholar. To be honest, I have never seen anyone as knowledgeable as her..."

"Don't worry about that. I will issue some bonds if necessary. Currently, there is no need for the Phoenix Court to issue war bonds." Aenarion did not seem to give a direct answer, but in fact he had already given a clear response to Catherine's question.

The issue she was talking about went far beyond war bonds.

In the Guangyi era, when a general wanted to launch a war of conquest but lacked funds, he would go to the Guangyi Senate to lobby. When the lobbying was successful enough, this group of generals would often be able to pull out a large army, and the elders who "invested" in the generals would also receive dividends equivalent to their shares.

When a general captured a city, the 10-year tax qualification promised by Emperor Guangyi was actually just a small part of the dividend. The real huge profits came from the amazing materials and slave trade that the general plundered through war.

Feudal era,

What could make money faster than robbing and selling people?

When the elves' "business" was at its peak, there was even a penniless guy who, simply by lobbying in the Senate, obtained the funds needed to form a huge army of 2000 elves and slave soldiers.

More than just Rome?

It's simply Rome!

Of course, the result is self-evident. The elves have always adhered to the policy of picking the weakest persimmons in foreign conquest wars. After all, such wars driven by pure interests generally do not take the initiative to pick hard bones. With the idea of ​​"If I can't beat the dwarves, I can beat you?", the elves often use military force against humans...

Then, a man named Sigma appeared among the human race. It was said that he was raised by a she-wolf...

Chapter 69 Ancient Secrets

After Aenarion's speech, this round of briefing came to an end.

With a few words from the superiors, the territory currently under the actual control of the Phoenix Court was divided up, and the big pieces were basically eaten by Aenarion, and no one expressed any objection.

Eric was kept here, and he was about to start the training course for the director of the nature park. Aenarion took this matter very seriously, and even became a little impatient, which was rare.

The group said goodbye and left, leaving Eric alone. With just a gesture, the former ranger understood and followed.

Following Aenarion, Eric came to the depths of the administrative hall, which he had never been to before.

This is Aenarion's private room, the kind that only he can enter. Legend has it that it contains all kinds of secrets of the Lightborn. If you just take a look at it, you can easily become rich and powerful in this life.

Of course, the legend is exaggerated, but one thing is true: there are indeed many secrets hidden here.

"I am not your teacher for this round of training. You will receive different training from those who have been selected as employees. You will receive specialized training."

"You are not only the leader of two hundred people, you also need to pay attention to many things. The importance of your position is no less important than that of the king of the royal court."

"If the subjects of those kings are elves, then your future subjects will be animals. And they are not ordinary animals, but magically transformed creatures with various magical powers."

These words made Eric, who was already quite nervous, even more nervous, but all this nervousness disappeared the moment Aenarion opened the door.

"Damn it! Another idiot is coming?!"

Eric: “……?!”

Since this was Aenarion's secret room, there was no danger, but it would be rude not to be scared by such a blunt and abusive voice.

Aenarion: "This is your student for the next two months. You only have two months to teach him. Your mission is to make him a qualified headmaster."

Da Mingbai: "Tsk... Another idiot who has never received compulsory education. Damn it, he should be responsible for the repair project if he doesn't know how to do it!"

Aenarion: "Exactly."

Da Mingbai: "... Damn it, just tire me to death! A bunch of damn idiots!"

Just after the two of them finished their brief conversation, Eric was shocked and even began to stutter as soon as he opened his mouth.

"This, this, this, this..."

He kept repeating "this" for a long time, not to mention saying a single sentence, and couldn't even complete a single word.

Seeing how hard he was trying to speak, Aenarion answered the question he wanted to ask directly.

"It's a very powerful information processing machine from the ancient Light Race. Even though it's 99% destroyed now, its capabilities are still amazing in our eyes."

"Its original code name was the 'omnipotent' processing mechanism, which corresponds to the 'omniscient' processing mechanism of the Slan Demon. Both are the pinnacle creations that can be created by mortal power. Their abilities are so strong that they can truly be called close to gods."

Eric was shocked: "Then it..."

Although Da Mingbai had no expression, he was obviously very shocked. "Oh my god, I didn't know I had such a cool name! Oh my god... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... From now on, I'll be called Almighty! This name sounds awesome!"

Aenarion shattered Da Mingbai's fantasy with an expressionless face, and said cruelly: "Now it is called Da Mingbai."

Eric: “…Huh?”

I couldn't get over it for a moment.

Da Ming understood: "Hey!!!"

Aenarion: "It is its own fault. Its first words after gaining intelligence were to curse its creator and namer."

Da Ming understood: "Hey!!!"

Aenarion: "Its first words were 'Would you please stop asking me stupid questions like that?' It passed the Turing test and was named Great Wisdom because of them."

Da Ming understood: "Hey!!!"

Aenarion: "By the way, it's a similar situation with the Slann. The first thing Omniscient said after gaining intelligence was, 'Stop making me look at these stupid pictures, Sabi! I don't want to look for a sedan or a road sign in a pile of pictures anymore!'"

Night attack; Group ⑥, Nine ④ ⑨ Three ' Six ① Three Five understands: "Hey!!!"

Eric's active little brain seemed to have thought of something:

Knowing...omnipotent...isn't this..."

Aenarion: "Yes, my god."

"The builders have been dead for who knows how many years, but it is speculated that these two information processing organs are highly complementary. If they can really be combined into one, then it would naturally be..."

Da Mingbai answered quickly: "Kami Sama!"

Aenarion's words were a defensive counterattack, unusually merciless: "Great power."

Da Ming understood: "Hey!!!"

Aenarion clapped his hands to attract Eric's attention, which had drifted to some unknown place. "Okay, now that we've heard the story and eaten enough melon, let's start studying."

"You will live here for the next two months. A maid will deliver daily necessities to you. I hope I can see a qualified headmaster in two months."

After hearing this, Eric couldn't help but become serious: "It will be as you wish."

Among the three people present, only Da Mingbai had not yet recovered from the shock.

"I... I don't know what, I actually have such a cool name?!"

"Fuck me... then wouldn't that mean I'm... wouldn't that mean I'm..."

I don’t know what kind of complicated feelings are inside her heart, which is made up of countless codes.

………………

It's not that no one paid attention to Lothern's crazy use of military force, but those who had opinions were incompetent, and those who had opinions didn't know what they were thinking, and they didn't seem to have any opinions. In short, the Flower Valley Royal Court, as the nominal leader of all the royal courts, sent a few representatives to condemn it, and then nothing happened.

In addition to Lothern's use of troops, goblin disasters began to appear in various places. Originally, goblins were useless except for their numbers, and the elves in various places could solve them themselves. However, after a kind of goblin who was fearless of death appeared, the elves felt a little tricky.

But it was not a big deal. After all, these fearless goblins were just fearless. They might kill a few lone elves, but when the elves gathered together, they were no threat at all, let alone attacking the gathering place of the elves.

But recently, a group of goblins wearing armor and riding giant wolves and shouting "Knight's Glory" conquered an elf village head-on and finally attracted the attention of some bigwigs.

This great man was Aenarion.

Other elf leaders believed that this was just a ridiculous lie made by the lord of the lost village to cover up his own incompetence.

Are you kidding? Goblins wearing armor and riding war beasts?

Still shouting "Glory of the Knight"?

Goblins are ridiculous creatures that are somewhere between wild beasts and intelligent creatures. It is simply nonsense that they can make iron armor and tame giant wolves, and they even shout "Knight's Glory"?

Do their almond-sized brains know what "knight's honor" is? !

Chapter 70 Guimu's Laboratory

Dark and damp caves, rugged paths, dirty crawling reptiles, this is the residence of goblins, but it once had another name...

Ghostwood Laboratory.

The famous Ghost Wood Witch was the former owner of this place. Various horrific experiments were carried out in this place all the time. Countless goblins wailed in pain under the hands of this evil witch, unable to live or die.

Fortunately, earth-shaking changes have finally taken place here.

The once clean and tidy laboratory has become a place full of shit and urine. The sophisticated experimental instruments have been destroyed, and the expensive materials have been eaten by the goblins like weeds.

The goblins howling in pain also turned into elves groaning in pain, regardless of gender.

Amidst all the chaotic and headache-inducing noises, a strange movement suddenly occurred. It was a sound of powerful footsteps, full of power and order, which was completely different from the style of this place.

This is a group of goblins who call themselves "Knights". Although they can't actually explain what a knight is, since their mother calls herself a knight, they also follow suit and call themselves knights.

Apparently, they misunderstood knights as something like a "race".

As the footsteps sounded, the goblins gathered around all retreated humbly. Amid their bows and worship, a group of goblins who were majestic and could be called great men among the goblins came over.

These goblins are about a head taller than ordinary goblins, and their bodies are stronger. They wear iron armor and hold simple weapons. They may look ridiculous, but these goblins are real and deadly warriors.

The Goblin Knights are the most capable group of goblins at present. They are powerful (goblins), tall (goblins), and have high morale (goblins). Although their individual combat power is still not as good as that of the elves, they have an absolute advantage in numbers.

Behind this group of goblin knights, a large group of little brats followed, performing all kinds of clumsy imitations, staggering along the knights' steps, and hanging pots and pans and other things on their bodies, just like a group of playful children.

The sound of powerful footsteps suddenly stopped, and the little devils following the knights immediately fell into a ball. With the sound of armor plates clattering, the knights half-knelt down and showed noble etiquette to the object of their loyalty.

"King! I am waiting for your triumphant return!

In one battle, we plundered more than 700 slaves and countless food supplies, but we lost only a hundred people. The war equipment you gave us played a huge role. The enemy was almost helpless with those crossbows and shield carts!"

In front of the knights, Oak, who was called "the king", showed a proud smile, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with the warriors in front of him.

But it's still not satisfying enough.

In his ideal blueprint, the goblins of the future must be bigger, greener, and stronger. Although the goblins in front of him were very strong, their brains were not very satisfactory. They were playing a ridiculous knight game, which was really inexplicable.

"Very well, I am delighted with your victory, and you may go and spend the evening with the queen, who is equally delighted with your victory."

The so-called queen is the female knight of the White Deer King's Court at the beginning, the starting point of all powerful goblins, and the origin of evil.

The goblins who were encouraged and rewarded were immediately delighted. They couldn't wait to get up and walk towards the depths of the cave.

There are many Knight Goblins, but only a few dozen have the honor of meeting the "Queen".

The perspective follows this group of goblin knights. When they arrive at the most luxurious room in the cave, the "perfect figure" of the "Queen" appears before their eyes.

This is a bloated monster that has been transformed into a humanoid form. Its limbs have been cut off, and various life-support tubes are inserted into its body to infuse various unknown drugs. The once heroic female knight has completely disappeared, and now there is only a dirty, fat humanoid in this world.

I'm afraid only Brother Heba can give this thing a name.

"I pledge my allegiance to becoming a knight. I will abide by the code of chivalry..."
