What Levi didn't know was that it was actually the initiative of Silver Moon Dragon Mother Vera Marendis to allow Zelandia, who had not even seen a shadow, to join the Silver Moon Federation.

Only the Silver Moon Dragon Mother has the qualification to stand up to all odds and endorse Levi and Zelandia behind him, and gain the approval of all city-states in the Silver Moon Federation Council.

This was a bit difficult for Alustriel to understand. Even when Silver Moon Dragon Mother made this proposal, she thought for a moment that this silver dragon was the second child of Dragon Mother and Silver Wing, and then she thought for herself

I feel some inexplicable guilt due to my 'malicious speculation'.

After all, the dragon mother had become an ancient golden dragon two hundred years ago and lost her fertility.

This is also the reason why she and Yin Yi did not have another child after the child died.

The reason why Li Wei is unwilling to join the Silver Moon Federation is actually very simple, but if you put it bluntly, everyone present may not be able to understand it.

Long before Levi left Zeelandia, he had already discussed this issue in the Hog Mining Board of Directors, and Iger had also studied the city-state agreement of the Silver Moon Federation.

The conclusion drawn is that joining the Silver Moon Federation with Zelandia’s current size will definitely do more harm than good!

To give a very simple analogy, after carefully studying the city-state agreement between the Silver Moon Federation, Li Wei discovered

Damn it, isn’t this just a weakened version of the Blue Star Ou League?

It’s also a case of holding together for warmth under a powerful potential threat.

The same is the economic and military integration in the agreement.

In order to achieve economic integration, they all issued a new currency.

Perhaps the original intention was good, and it indeed played an irreplaceable role in promoting history in the early days.

But as early as when Levi traveled through time, John Bull had already changed the 'Supreme Mage' three times because he wanted to break up with the Ou League, and the potential price of the final breakup was not small, and their suffering

, only then does it really begin.

Although Li Wei still doesn't fully understand the twists and turns, he still understands the disadvantages of a federation like this.

The most direct point is the issue of leadership.

Joining the Silver Moon Federation will inevitably 'transfer' part of the sovereignty, and many large-scale economic and military issues require all city owners to sit down and discuss them together.

Although this decentralized parliamentary system and decision-making mechanism can avoid most fatal decision-making errors, it is also easily unsuitable for matters that require a quick response mechanism.

For example, a local war!

For example, their northern farm was robbed this time, and the warring faction and conservatives in the parliament were quarreling.

As the first snowfall approached, we still couldn't come up with a result.

You can only watch and miss the opportunity.

This involves the second issue, which is the issue of unity.

Because although all city-states have ceded part of their sovereignty, they still retain their own sovereignty and part of their 'necessary private armies'.

Although the Silver Moon Federation has also assembled the military power of the nine city-states to build an army, if it encounters this time, it will be difficult to rely on this army alone to annihilate the orc tribe. It will need private army reinforcements from each city-state.

?

Once there is such a large-scale war, the issue of sending troops between each city-state will be a big deal.

This is something Li Wei cannot tolerate under any circumstances.

In the planned plan of their board of directors, after Zeelandia gains a foothold in the Northland, there will be a large-scale military operation against the Eternal Wasteland!

All trolls and frost giants must get out of here!

Such a large area of ​​natural farming land, which can be called the "Hetao Plain" in Corell, would be a waste of natural resources if the pastures are left undeveloped there!

The last point, and the most important point, is the issue of benefit distribution!

Perhaps the original nine city-states in the Northland don't have much of a problem at the moment, because they are all still city-states under the feudal system, and most of them are still in the era of small manual workshops. The productivity is not too far apart.

But what has Zelandia become now? As the driving force behind it, doesn’t Levi still have some doubts in his heart?

If an alien like them suddenly joins in, the chain reaction will definitely quickly intensify the internal conflicts of the Silver Moon Federation, and may even lead to the disintegration of this federation, which has a relatively good impression in Li Wei's eyes.

Then wouldn’t his sins have become more severe?

This is something Li Wei absolutely does not want to see.

Moreover, Zeelandia also has a predetermined plan, that is, when the surface city-state develops to a certain scale, he plans to build a monetary system with the "Zelandia Central Bank" as the core.

We are even planning to let ‘Kaka’ use the local area network to develop e-commerce

However, this is really ahead of its time and is unlikely to be realized for the time being.

That is, Alustriel, who is the chosen one of the Goddess of Magic, must never watch them get involved in his mother's magic network.

Even if it is something that the goddess of magic Mystra is now unable to control.

Based on all the above, Levi cannot let the current Zeelandia join the Silver Moon Federation, even if they have to pay an extra part of the overflow 'tariff' three years later.

But the question is, can Li Wei openly tell Alustriel and Silver Moon Dragon Mother about these problems? Can they solve them now?

Moreover, Li Wei believed that in addition to the third point, Alustriel understood the first two problems more deeply than he did. However, within this system, it cannot be solved by personal strength alone.

Since it's useless to say it, why bother looking for trouble?

But at this moment, Levi had to give a reason that could convince them.

Otherwise, just looking at Alustriel's almost murderous look at him, Levi would be in trouble.

He didn't want to upset an angry female voter.

But this still does not trouble Levi, and he has already prepared the reason.

Under the gazes of several big bosses, Li Wei seemed to be hypnotized by himself, recalling the difficult years at the beginning of time travel, sneered, and then said with red eyes:

"Your Majesty Vera, thank you for your respect and concern. In fact, the essence is not that Zelandia and I are unwilling to join the Silver Moon Federation, but that we cannot! Join the Silver Moon Federation."

Upon hearing this completely unexpected answer, everyone's expressions froze. Even Alustriel, who was originally furious, suddenly became confused.

Could it be that the other party didn't look down on the Silver Moon Federation she founded, but really had something else to hide?

Before the Silver Moon Dragon Mother asked.

Li Wei took a deep breath and asked with lowered eyes: "Your Majesty Vera, Your Majesty Alustriel, are you trying to pull us into the Federation? Do you know that me and the people of Zeelandia,

Where did it come from?"

Only then did Alustriel remember that they had indeed never heard of Zelandia and the so-called Hogg Merchant Group.

As if a light flashed across her mind, she suddenly looked up at Levi in ​​disbelief: "Are you from?"

Levi suddenly laughed, raised his head and sighed: "Yes, as you are thinking now, the reason you haven't heard of us before is because we all come from a dark place full of sin.

"How is that possible?" the Silver Moon Dragon Mother said in disbelief. According to the common sense of metal dragons, how could a silver dragon, as the public enemy of those dark creatures, survive in a place like the Underdark?

Then he looked lonely, even with a hint of "inferiority" in his eyes, looked around the three of them, and asked:

"The moment I emerged from the dragon egg, what I saw was not my parents, but a group of kobolds who were preparing to make me dinner.

"Yes, I, Levi, are an abandoned silver dragon that was hatched in a kobold's soup pot."

"Oh! Oh my God!"

Silver Moon Dragon Mother Veramalandis immediately covered her mouth when she heard this, and her eyes instantly turned red.

She simply couldn't believe what Levi was going through. As a metal dragon, not only did he not have the care of his parents when he was just born, he had to face a tribe of kobolds surrounded by powerful enemies. What a cruel and desperate situation it was.

Even Alustriel and Terry behind her were dumbfounded.

This is simply the most magical way of birth they have ever heard of in their lifetimes.

And because they were located within the Silver Moon Barrier, they had the blessing of [Discerning Lies] under [Vanguard Spell], and they could tell at a glance that Levi was not lying.

This is actually true

Seeing that the results were good, Li Wei continued his misery and said: "I luckily escaped the pursuit of the kobolds, and successfully conquered a slime tribe as my kinsman. I relied on them, and I relied on eating dirt and

The fathead fish caught by Slime has gone through the most difficult years.

"Later, when I grew up, I turned into a gnoll through my natural [Transformation]. Using my identity, I gradually gathered a large number of gnoll tribes, a gray dwarf tribe, and a group of people who were trafficked to the Underdark.

The humans there run a black mine operated by the drow.

"With the accumulation of time, our mines and breeding farms have finally gained some scale, but we are always facing exploitation by the drows in Gelthorne.

"Originally, we thought it would be like this for a lifetime, but eight years ago, the drow seemed to have discovered the remains of a Nether magic ship. The damage to the upper floor caused endless internal strife in Gelthorne.

"So our Hog Merchant Group took this opportunity to dig a tunnel to the surface in an attempt to escape from the control of the drow.

"We strangers from the Darklands are very satisfied to have a safe place in the North.

“But after all, we can’t expect too much.

"Your Majesty Alustriel, Your Majesty Vera, even if I join the Silver Moon Federation before you know our background, I wonder if other city-states in the Silver Moon Federation can accept a group of us coming to the Dark Region.

Do you want foreigners to accept such a group of people whose hands are full of blood and sin and become a part of the Silver Moon Federation?"

After saying this, Li Wei raised his face again, and two lines of tears fell down, but he still had a cold smile.

As for Alustriel and Terry, they were stunned by this silver dragon's legendary survival and rise history, and were inexplicably shocked.

"No!"
