Mountain and Forest Kingdom

The elves were arranged to live on the second floor of the ring building, and Lawrence and others quickly returned to the castle dozens of meters away.

Derren was unhappy with Lawrence's tolerance, "Why not just kill them?"

When Lawrence returned home, he took off his crow feather cloak and naturally found a place to sit down, showing a lazy look.

"What are you talking about?" Lawrence pretended to be bored, "Things outside are slowly over. We have soldiers, food, money, and technology. Now we are thinking about what to eat at night and how to play tomorrow. Wouldn't it be better? ?”

All the girls in the room were confused by this sudden turn.

Just when everyone else was confused, Sophia's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait.

"The master doesn't take them seriously! Sister Salil and Cassandra showed too much concern just now. In fact, the master doesn't care about their existence at all."

Sofia rushed to answer the question.

No one asked her this.

Sariel looked at the excited Sophia with confusion, and then at Lawrence who was sitting there quietly and without saying anything.

"Lawrence, is that so?"

Lawrence didn’t mean this, but thinking about it carefully, that’s pretty much what he meant.

"The war is initiated by the generation that started the war, and it is a war initiated by a few people on behalf of the majority of the people. Just like our Kingdom of Stars and the major kingdoms outside, only the upper class can represent the lower class, not the lower class representing the upper class. "

Delen sounded even more strange, "What does this have to do with those elves?"

Lawrence stretched out his hand to signal Delen not to worry, and sat on the sofa and continued: "Those who are qualified to launch a war are definitely not envoys, nor are they small nobles or ordinary people. They can only be a group of people who hold power, and usually they are not One or two, a small group.”

"Only when the interests are unanimous will a war be launched. This time the war led by the church is promoted by faith. This kind of soil does not exist among the elves. If they want to launch a war, some elves must die."

"Only by killing some elves can we arouse the resistance of the rest of the elves, otherwise we will not be able to unite."

"This is a good thing for us. I have no intention of starting a war with the elves, nor do I want to harm these elves who were sent to the barbaric land to serve as messengers."

Salil looked at Lawrence in surprise, "You think so much!"

Because they were not outside, Lawrence didn't care about Sariel's outrageous compliments.

Lawrence explained: "After these elves suddenly arrived, I was thinking about their purpose."

"One is their purpose of coming, and the other is the meaning and signal of their coming. Think about the value and use of these elf messengers."

"A long-lived country that advocates peace and refuses to fight suddenly showed a radical side. I felt that they were provoking me and seeking death. However, being kind, I also thought about whether the people behind them were also seeking death like them. .”

"In my opinion, no matter what they say, they only represent two things. The first is that they are a group of idiots seeking death, and the second is that they represent a group of idiots seeking death."

"Just like my image in front of you." Lawrence looked at Sariel, "I don't care about my majesty, nor do I care about my personal face. If my kindness can bring about their retreat, let them Knowing what you're doing, I think that's the kind of kindness we should have."

"If they insisted on challenging us just now, it means that kindness is useless. These elves cannot understand our kindness, so they can be killed."

Kehalan walked aside and sat down, and the other witches also found a place to sit down. They lay down, leaned on, or reclined on the sofa in the living room in the posture they felt comfortable. The maids also took the initiative to serve it. Hot milk tea with sugar.

Emma placed the hot tea on the coffee table in front of Lawrence, then stood behind Lawrence and waited for instructions.

Kahalan put one leg on the other, holding the tea cup and saucer, and thought: "So you think the elves of the Green Forest Kingdom want to provoke a war?"

"No." Lawrence said with certainty: "I only know that the elves are not monolithic, nor do they have only one idea. Now the elves cannot reach an agreement on whether to start a war."

Salil asked curiously: "How do you know?"

"This is easy to understand." Lawrence affirmed: "Elves all have mental resistance, and not all elves will be controlled by control spells."

If it is a modern society, there are many reasons. For example, a prepared war requires many people to plan before it can be launched. Another example is that a peaceful and prosperous country must be dominated by peace factions and will not suddenly transform into war factions.

But this is a magical world. The declaration of war and desperate resistance from the Kingdom of Gran made Lawrence realize the power of mind control!

Under mental control, just like the relationship between a leader and a flock, a group can really be ruined by controlling a few people.

All interests, ideas, culture, and public opinion have no logic at all under mental control.

Lawrence stretched out his index finger, "The elves with mental resistance are of little use to us, but their existence is an obstacle to the Church of Dawn! The Church of Dawn would rather these elves die in our hands!"

"In this way, the remaining elves will hate us. Without the control of the church, they will become hostile to the Kingdom of Stars. At the same time, it is also a good thing for the Church of Dawn that we kill these elves. Under the influence of hatred, Relying on the relationship between the Kingdom of Elf and other kingdoms, it is easier for other countries to stand opposite us."

Salil drank sugar tea quietly and listened carefully to Lawrence's story. It was obviously a national event, but it was like a tea party here. She just felt that Lawrence's story was so powerful.

Jade didn't expect Lawrence to think so much, and after being reminded by Lawrence, she also discovered many hidden problems.

Cassandra and Delen also thought about this matter and were also convinced.

Lathander asked: "If what you said is true, then as long as those elves die, they will cause us trouble. Why do you still keep them?"

Lawrence said casually: "Because I am not afraid of war."

"For our generation, war has good and bad, hatred and other things, but for people a hundred years later, they enjoy the progress and cultural integration brought by the war, as well as the redistribution of land resources by the war .”

"I can't say whether it was good or bad. I believe that the descendants of me and our allies will write our biographies as winners, not losers."

"We don't need to care too much about future changes. As long as we are strong enough, just like we have a sturdy house, honest relatives, enough food and wine, we don't need to care so much whether it will be windy or rainy tomorrow."

Whether the elves decide to surrender or resist is a matter of course. For the Kingdom of Stars, it is nothing more than the difference between having one more fiefdom or one more ally.

Soon the Lawrence family talked about dinner and arrangements for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and did not waste time on such boring things.

***

In a room in the ring building, three elves stood at the door and window respectively.

Cyril looked at the door, and soon the door was gently pushed open. Cyril and other elves did not go up to investigate, but looked at each other and lowered their heads and waited.

A gust of cold wind blew in, and after a few seconds, a floating black cloak appeared behind the elves.

The black cloak quickly stood up, and after more than ten seconds, the person's face gradually appeared from the air.

The female elf in the illusion returned to normal, looking at the elf in front of her with ice-blue eyes.

"We were taken advantage of!"

The female elf with the ability of invisibility had an extremely serious expression at this time, as if she had discovered something very bad.

"I need to go find the prophet myself. You guys wait here and don't cause trouble!"

The other elves didn't know what happened, but they all realized that it might be something serious.

"Yes, Sage!"

Oralda quickly went out to find the maid here and made her request to find the prophet.

The maid quickly conveyed it to the maid at the higher level, who in turn conveyed it to the core maid not far away.

Oralda and others set out in the morning. Due to the snowy mountains and other factors, it was already the afternoon when they arrived, and it was already evening after the meeting ended.

It gets dark very early in the winter in the north. Lawrence, who was eating, heard the maid's story and readily allowed Orouda to come and dine alone. (End of chapter)
