The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

When the Langham Alliance was founded, the elves of the North joined in smoothly. In fact, the whole North joined in that year. If they did not join, they would isolate themselves and then become the little sheep sleeping next to the dragon's mouth.

But even if they subsequently joined the ranks, their position in the Lan Alliance has been embarrassing.

How is the relationship between elves and humans? That sour and sweet years of friendship don't need to say much, the resentment in it has spawned countless historical stories, how many playwrights and novelists are fine to feed.

At the heart of the Lan Alliance are the two great Lan countries, and the Lan people are human beings, then the core of the Lan Alliance is naturally human beings, while other foreigners, such as the Orcs, Northern savages, the Dead Spirit, underground forces, are either allies in the beginning or defeated opponents, when one side is strong enough and the client does not have much conflict, integration is not very difficult.

The so-called union is a voice that says what we should do, and no one sings the opposite in person.

The whole coalition of the Lan Alliance is simple to say, but actually includes a series of actions and projects.

Probably the most important of these are the construction of traffic routes, the redistribution of responsibilities at the administrative level and the harmonization of military ranks.

This kind of policy does not seem to be much, it seems to be some kind of facial project, which is actually directly related to whether the Lan Alliance is really united or is still a scattered sand.

Roads between countries in the past… If those muddy and chaotic mountains and trails could be counted as roads, the coverage of roads could barely exceed 5 per cent.

Although it is a slogan, it is definitely not empty language. Especially in the Cold Arms era, the difference between wagons and walking is not only speed, but the traffic volume and individual of mule horse vehicles are two concepts. When goods cannot be sold, farm products rot in fields, and the transport of finished products in mining areas is higher than the price of ore, the so-called development is empty language.

As for air transportation? Without mentioning the terrible ratio of air traffic to freight, the Kwanglan Alliance warships are unlikely to take on conventional transport responsibilities. You know, roads don't look prominent, but the number of people who walk up there every day can be tens of thousands, and it's a permanent investment, and every time you fly, you have to calculate the cost and see if you can return home.

But unlike the better inhabitants that a world aspired to, the ancestors of the inhabitants of the feudal era spent so much time, they didn't feel anything wrong. It seems natural to eat from the sky to continue the ancestral lifestyle.

If they really started building roads, and started expropriating the labor force, they also felt that the lord's laborers were hurting their money, which was too much.

And the lords are nowhere near as strong as they are. Some people really don't see it. This ratio and its astonishing. Others feel that once their roads are fixed, other lords can invade themselves along the roads. Isn't that lifting stones and smashing their feet?

The establishment of the Lan Alliance, on the one hand, represents the disappearance of the "road repair beaten by people" taboo, on the other hand, the rapid development of Dong Lan, Siruwell and other countries, as well as the improvement of the living standards of the people, of course, the most direct, but also infinite layering of small objects, really gave the ancestral people no change hearts and minds touched, so that many people really began to yearn for change.

But it's nice to say that nearly 20% of the total tax revenues of the Eight Years Lan Alliance have gone down, the road coverage rate has improved from about 5% to 10%, it's a unified two-way four-way stone road... don't look at the small number, don't look at the road specifications cold acid, but this already means that the main roads of the countries are barely accessible, so it won't be enough to cut off all the rain and snow.

As for the end of the branch to a township or village, it is the duty of the nations and the lords themselves. As an alliance between nations, the Lan Alliance has done well enough.

The completion of the construction of this main road also means that the normalized administrative tasks, the transmission of documents can be normalized, and the centralized system begins to gradually replace the blockade. Kings' secret envoys, which often appear in novel dramas, express the simple desire of some people for fairness and justice and hostility to bad lords, but why not the result of inconvenient transportation and poor ordinances?

With the liberalization and normalization of contacts, the redistribution of responsibilities at the executive level has also made the member countries no longer separate individuals. While weakening their kingdoms and sovereignty, it has also allowed the regions to follow the policies and plans of the Lan Alliance, giving this huge northern giant the backbone to stand on his feet.

Of course, these are regularized policies that have already been endorsed by kings, with higher thresholds and less likely to trigger a rebound of lords… In this regard, let's not start, and the games and conspiracies here alone can last a few days.

And the next mutual recognition of ranks and army integration would probably be equivalent to giving the knights, officers, knights and nobles of all Lan Alliance members a number, so that they would recognize each other's ranks and, in the name of their kings, follow the commander-in-chief of Lan Alliance, which, of course, is the only unconventional dispatch that will come into effect only in battle, and the Knights will still do their part on weekdays.

At this point, the forces of the Lan Alliance can collaborate with each other and play a fighting role. Let's not end this point. The mess can write a novel. It's really too long.

And the Pokémon, the Northern Moon Pokémon to be exact… directly stuck the joint plan in the first step.

It was planned to clear a path to the Moon Elf Kingdom, but one of those paragraphs is naturally the area where the Tassel Elf Kingdom is located, the link between the Elves and the nations of humankind.

There, there was a highway, or a good road built in the kingdom of tassel. Although natural disasters caused severe damage to some sections of the road, it was easier to repair the highway than to start building it again. In terms of time construction and cost management, it would save more than 70% of the time and capital costs.

But…

“The area does not belong to any of the elf kingdoms, and we refuse to pay for the road construction on this route. ”

In a sense, this is bullshit with your eyes open. This road leads only to you. What do you mean, you don't fix it?

According to the current Lan 'an policy, 70% of the local state pays for road repair and 30% of the Lan 'an finances, which is both customary and common sense. The local profit is naturally the majority of the local state, but only 30% is seen by Lan 'an. Considering the mask, it is already astronomical.

This policy is somewhat problematic, as mentioned earlier, the area of the former kingdom of Tartarus does not belong to any country on the map, and the kingdom of the elves is not paying for this reason, reluctantly speaking in the past.

But in fact, there are such fuzzy areas on the map, but in the end, the lords are paying for it happily. After all, nobody is stupid. Refusing to build roads is not only a missed opportunity to develop infrastructure, but isolating themselves from the Lan Alliance system.

On the other hand, the Elf Kingdom refused, or left no room for total rejection...

Don't they have any money? Speaking of which, the spirit (ghost) doesn't believe, their exclusive magic and artwork is a one-of-a-kind deal, the robbery didn't come fast, plus years of savings, who would believe that the elves would actually be poor.

Can't they afford it? To be able to maintain ambient magic boundaries in the North, the money and magic materials consumed are astronomical numbers, and the daily lives of elf magicians wanting to float on foot are appalling, how can they be poorer than human lords?

No one is a fool, but since the elf kingdoms decided that this area did not belong to them, they were not obliged to pay for it. The Lan League held three consecutive days of meetings, eventually for the sake of consistency within the Lan League, once they bit their teeth, they fully funded it!

And then... nothing then.

As the road began to build, strange things kept happening, either a certain distance suddenly started haunting, or a certain distance was stolen by horse thieves, workers were dispersed, and even tools were stolen.

More than twenty such incidents occurred in three months, and even fools knew that the situation was wrong, and the investigation team of the Lan League returned the other night to be able to do this in this position, which made it clear that the elves had done it.

What does the Moon Elf want to do? The high ranking of the Lan League was lost, and finally the former Moon Elf Princess Suanna told the truth...

“The moon elves of the North have always looked down on humans and feared humans. They probably feared annexation… ”

Well, the Pokémon also don't say that turning around with this uncooperative attitude is a sign of mistrust, which is perhaps the usual careful eye of the Pokémon and the lack of direct... elegant diplomacy.

Now the dilemma kicks in to the leaders of the Lan Alliance countries, what can the nations of humanity do next?

Continue to forcibly build roads? Money out, manpower out, hot face on cold butt, wash your face and then stick it, how can you not take this face?

Forced breakthroughs, powerful interference, demanding that the Moon Elf Kingdom fulfill its covenant? The Pokémon are careful, even if they know what they are doing, they can't get evidence, and if they do, can they use this as a reason to attack the Pokémon? It will not only tear the covenant apart, endanger the self of the members, but also make aggression real.

By this time, the reason why the elves were so easy to join the Lan Alliance came out, and they sat on this plan from the beginning. Instead of going hard to the great tide of unification in the North, they could join their own small group in the name, play with cold violence, small independence, and not cooperate.

Don't say that in the relatively direct (pure) Ash political circle, this is already a trick, the result of centuries of political experience of the elves, and it does work, but...

“... the Pokémon have always been like this, small abacus constantly, eating in the bowl looking in the pot, the profit is a lot, but the calculation is too much, I don't want to let anything get away with it. Instead, I was tempted by the immediate interest, and eventually lost the large plate...”

Road schemes in the Tassel Kingdom area have stopped, and other elf kingdoms have not yet begun.

In all these years, the rapid development of the Lan Alliance has been seen in the eyes of the people of the North, and only the elves still live their relatively independent lives. Do those elves regret it?

“No, they will not regret it, they will celebrate only to thwart yet another conspiracy by mankind to annex the elves. As for the development of the outside world, it's none of their business, they're still alive 10,000 years ago. ”

Suanna's words are perfectly in line with what I have always known about elves. Even though the young elves of the new generation have opinions, in the land of elves, the right to speak can be in the hands of the elderly, and tradition is extremely important.

The end result is that the Elf kingdoms have won in a sense, they have maintained their expectations, but humans have not lost. Anyway, no Elf Lantern alliance can move forward, nominal alliances enable them to purchase specialty products from the Elf kingdoms, send overseas students, or have some gain.

The entire Lan Alliance is increasingly integrated. Phase II of the Great Project "Operation Galaxy” has been in operation for two years, but only the Pokémon. Phase I is not finished, but it is always free from the entire Lan Alliance. The impact is terrible. Now the owners of the Lan Alliance do not have time to play with them, and it is up to them.

But before that, I couldn't stand it this time.

According to tradition, the Moon Elf kingdom of the Moon Elf system became one of the four top elves of the nascent Northern Elf Empire, but how can it be said that, as the most “good at plotting power” of the elves, as the "power faction” of the nascent Elf Empire, they once again set up their own small reckoning.

“Requesting the Northern Elf Empire to set the Moonflower City? The southernmost Lone City in the territory of the Three Moons Elf Kingdom? Pull the whole Northern Elf Empire down and play with them in isolation? ”

“Demands that since the Moon Elf provides territory, should the Moon Elf retain ownership of the territory? The Ruler of the Northern Elf Empire and the local guardians should be the Moon Elves? You plan to fly the queen before the country is established? ”

“The Lunar and Dark Pokémon have a grudge, demanding that the Dark Pokémon cannot step onto the territory of the nascent Pokémon Empire… The first four top Pokémon and Silver Pokémon arrive, the number of Pokémon is small, and the Dark Pokémon is strong enough. Is this the intention to kick out the target of power directly? ”

“Demanding independent diplomatic and military power… What's the difference between active secession and the intention of the Moon Elves to enter a civil war? ”

I laughed and slowly read out these documents, and the Elf elders in front of me were trembling, and the killings in the lobby were like the essence, in their eyes, the next plot should be to jump out of dozens of knife-axers for a famous banquet?

I didn't smile friendlily at anyone, even at the pushed Moon Elf on behalf of Suanna... Seems like she doesn't have much faith in me either from her backwards steps, or did I accidentally reveal my intention to take the knife?

“O Moonfairy... ”

I had some helplessness in throwing the documents aside, and I had always expected this to happen, but I did not expect it to come so soon.

Previously, when Herois was crowned, the Northern Moon Pokémon could not introduce a new matriarch, and only Suanna, who had become a Grey Blood Pokémon and a Dead Spirit, could represent them… Since then, they have probably been planning to ignore the previous covenant once the final talks were over.

My proposal at the time was also an opportunity for a breakthrough, and I gave Suanna a a chance to come back to life. Once she was re-established as the Moon Elf, her reputation was so high that she might be able to play a huge political role in changing the current increasingly helpless development... I had no patience with the foolish Moon Elders who had not been baptized by war and knew nothing but civil strife! I'm doing my job, and those bastards are stalling me!

If she gave me back, it would take time to think about it. Okay, think about it. Then things got too busy and I left them behind.

So now I try to maintain a harmonious smile and keep asking questions.

“Suanna, have you thought about it long enough, your final decision? Resurrection or continuation of the status quo ante... it is best to make a careful choice, I have no patience with the Moon Fairy anymore, I am not threatening you! But your decision depends on the survival of the lunar elves, and I don't believe that the Northern Elf Empire is inflexible! ”

“... don't scare me! You're not a threat. What's a threat? ”

She pretended that Heroise's split had finally spoken, and the Elf elders were relieved, but her next words made them cry.

“In fact, I also hate Moon Pokémon that always caused trouble, it was they who rebelled back then..... In fact, I am confident that only three new Pokémon empires can develop well, Suanna, don't worry about daring to reject this idiot. ”

All the Elf Chiefs didn't talk, but that look was weird, like they were holding back, like they were talking.

“… you have said that, rejection is not equivalent to death! Who dares say no? ”
