Chapter 1017: new plan
When the first snow fell in the Tarakhan area, Panda and others ended their visit to the Necronomicon and returned to the human world.
The negotiation between the undead and the clergy is still going on, or in other words, the stalemate of the negotiation has not changed much.
For the priests, they finally found an opportunity to gain the upper hand. Of course, they must take this opportunity to force the undead to make concessions, at least they must never make trouble in the world.
For the undeads, although the "Infinite Condemnation" is indeed a huge deterrent, they are not without desperate means.
This is like the Cold War on Earth. Both the United States and the Soviet Union have the means to completely destroy each other, and they are also in danger of being completely destroyed by the other party. It can even be said that both of them have the ability to completely destroy human civilization.
In this case, everyone is naturally clamoring, but no one is willing to start first, and no one is willing to give up the negotiation.
... It's not that they really think negotiation can solve the problem, it's just that negotiation is the only means left.
If you really want to do it, no one can afford the price.
"Panda, how do you feel in the Necronomicon?" Back at the castle, everyone gave the hard-working panda a banquet. During the banquet, Sanyu asked curiously, "Is it the same as the legendary underworld? Breathing, do you feel that your life has been lost?"
"The undead world is full of death energy, of course it's not suitable for living creatures to survive." Panda made an estimate and replied, "It's better if there is protection.
"At this time, I think I should say, 'Gou..."
"Stop 'Gou'! It's an outdated old meme more than ten years ago!" Long Biao pressed down on Jiaoji, who was about to say a mantra, and stuffed a bottle of wine into his mouth, "Don't talk, drink wine!"
Everyone laughed, and then Roland introduced the current negotiation situation to Panda.
"Do you think... this negotiation will continue to stalemate like this?" he asked. "After our discussion, we feel that the current situation is a bit like the Cold War. Will the Cold War continue like this, and everyone is just talking about it. Yelling, but no one dares to do it?"
Panda thought for a moment and said, "Isn't that good?"
"Very good?" Roland was shocked, "The problem can't be solved, what's the problem!"
"Everyone is always just shouting, so the undead won't make a fuss. If the undead won't make a noise, won't our goal be achieved?" Panda asked back, "We never thought about killing the undead world. It's just that they don't make a fuss in the world."
Roland was stunned, thought about it for a while, and couldn't help laughing.
"You're right! We didn't have the ability to reach the undead world and capture the demigod Lich Walker alive. Since they are now focused on negotiating and not making big news, it's fine to continue like this..."
"This can't be done!" shouted another cleric, the Templar Guard Dante (Dante), "We are the clergy who uphold justice against evil, and we are the pioneers who light the way of mankind with flags and torches. , we are the sleepless guards who guard the night with our swords clenched, how can we be satisfied with negotiating with the undead!"
He jumped on the table and shouted: "You are a compromise! It is a concession! It is using vulgar reality to obliterate great ideals! Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal!"
In the next second, he was dragged down by several people, his fists and feet flew, and his nose was bruised.
But the panda frowned.
He felt that... although this guy was a hopelessly terminally ill patient, his words were not completely nonsense.
The key to the power of the clergy is their unwavering belief. If they backed down for the sake of reality, wouldn't that have an impact on their beliefs?
The source of power of the traversers is different from that of ordinary clerics, and they do not need to be so firm in their beliefs, so they have never considered this issue. But when they were mentioned by Ding Erdan today, they immediately saw this blind spot that they hadn't seen in the past.
"...Panda, what do you think Ding Erdan said..." Roland said hesitantly.
"Rough words are not rough!" Paladin Victor, who likes to do more than think, nodded and said solemnly.
Panda also nodded: "He's right, those of us may not care about 'loyalty to our beliefs', but other priests can't. If we really choose to reach a tacit understanding with the undead, everyone will be satisfied with the current status quo. , then it will definitely be a blow to the beliefs of many priests."
"In this case... the 'Cold War' plan cannot be implemented!" Roland sighed, "For the clergy, belief is the foundation of everything. We cannot harm long-term interests for the sake of immediate interests!"
"Then we still have to fight?" asked the battle priest Mandu. "Should we prepare our army and launch another large-scale attack on the strongholds of the undead forces in the world?"
The panda was about to nod when the centaur Ai Weiyin suddenly said, "Perhaps, we can change our minds."
Change your mind?
Everyone looked at her suspiciously.
Among the transmigrators, Ivyin is the character that everyone admires. She almost started from scratch, and single-handedly laid a big foundation on the grassland. And by repelling the White Calamity last time, she has greatly improved her prestige. Now, the saying "Let Ivy be the Great Khan because of the Great Chief" has been circulated everywhere on the grasslands.
Now that she makes a suggestion, everyone is curious and looking forward to it.
"We all know that according to the progress of the game, after about a hundred years - oh, there are still more than 80 years left - after that, the dragon of doom will appear, and the whole world will face the crisis of extinction." Ivyin said, " Even if the dragon of doom is not considered, after about 60 years, the gates of **** will be opened, and the demons will attack the world."
Everyone nodded.
"Then the question is, in the face of these situations, how will the undead choose?"
"They should choose to cooperate with the devil or the dragon of doom?" said Ding Erdan, who came back, "the villain and the villain are innately compatible!"
"No, just the opposite!" Ivyin shook his head, "Whether it's the dragon of doomsday that wants to destroy the world, or the devil that turns the world into hell, it is essentially hostile to the undead!"
She stared at everyone and showed a slightly cunning smile: "What the undead need is a peaceful and stable world that can continuously produce living beings and provide a 'population source' for the undead world, not a smashed world. , the living are dead and wounded, and there is only a world of the dead left in the world!"
"And this is the key that we can use!"
