In the beginning, the Elven Queen didn't really take Edward's entrustment very seriously.
After all, elven civilization once spread all over the world, and it also covered a large area like humans today for a period of time.
Even after the extinction of the high elves, there are still many descendants of the high elves, including the forest elves, who survived.
To put it bluntly, if you dig anywhere in the Eastern Continent, you might be able to find antiques from the elves.
In her mind, the thing in Edward's hand probably fell into this category.
But after checking it a little more carefully, she found that she seemed to have made a mistake.
"This is the secret text of the high elves. It is different from all the current texts. This text itself has no function of recording information. It was created purely to simplify the ceremony and endow it with a corresponding 'mysterious' product, which needs to be matched with a specific ceremony. to see the original content."
The elf queen explained to Edward and the others: "The high elves' magical system is different from the current one. They have reached a certain contract with the gods in exchange for 'mystery'."
"'Mysterious'? What is that?" Goudan asked curiously.
"I don't know, it should be a reference to some kind of special power, which is called 'mystery' in the ancient books left by our family."
The elf queen replied: "These 'mysteries' are the conditions for the high elves to cast divine spells. Since the 'mysteries' are equal, the more people who know, the less weight each person who can control the 'mysteries' has." , so generally speaking, the high elves practice secrecy and will not easily reveal the secrets of their own clan to others."
"The high elves attach great importance to secrecy, even to the point of strictness, so that they have come up with a strict secrecy mechanism. Once a high elf is captured by the enemy, for various reasons (such as hypnosis or mental manipulation) When they want to say 'mystery', they will be directly reduced to ashes because of violating the oath of secrecy."
"Based on this strict secrecy mechanism and the use of 'mystery' to maximize the number of people, even in the Age of Gods, the high elves are second only to the existence of gods." The elf queen couldn't help but sigh: "But also It is this strict secrecy mechanism that ruined the glory of the high elves... "
Even if she didn't specify the reason, Edward had almost guessed it.
Since the "mystery" is completely controlled and monopolized by the high elves, once the high elves are wiped out due to some accidents. The essence of 'mystery' has been lost, and the remaining high elves have no way to revive the race.
No wonder the bloodlines of the high elves would split and disperse, resulting in the current situation of multiple descendants of elves.
"That is to say, now that the high elves are extinct, these spells cannot be deciphered..." When he said this, Edward was suddenly stunned.
If the extinction of the high elves means that the method of deciphering the secret text has been lost, then the use of the magic tools that can only be used by mastering the 'mystery' should also be lost.
That being the case, where did the two constructs get the use of these magic tools
Edward immediately raised his question to the Elf Queen.
After carefully inquiring about the characteristics of the two constructs, the Queen of Elf thinks that they should also be the self-discipline magic tools left by the high elves, and they are essentially anthropomorphic golems made of liquid metal 'white gold' .
In this way, it is normal to have the authority to use the sacks and ropes that are also high elf magic tools.
"However, the construct itself is also a magical device. If no one awakens it, it is impossible to suddenly appear in Crooks today, thousands of years after the high elves perished." Edward tried hard to think: "And awakening them probably requires 'Mystery'. In other words, in Crooks City, someone may have really mastered the 'mystery' of the high elves!"
It's not impossible if you think about it.
Edward doesn't think he is that kind of extremely intelligent person. Since even he can think of the possible disastrous consequences of the "mystery" being monopolized by the high elves, the high elves who once created that brilliant civilization naturally don't May be unexpected.
So it is quite possible that they kept the 'mysterious' secret somewhere long before their destruction just in case.
It's just that the surviving high elves didn't know about it, or because of various reasons, they couldn't find the 'mystery', which led to the disintegration of the elves.
Thousands of years have passed, and it is not impossible for someone to accidentally discover the inheritance left by the high elves.
After listening to Edward's analysis, the elf queen thought for a while, and asked the Luna guards to invite several elf elders who had studied the history of the high elves, and then asked Goudan and Joe to discuss the information on the two constructs. again.
Unlike the elf queen who only dabbled in the knowledge of high elves, these two old men are obviously archaeologists among elves, and they have already investigated a lot of information.
Therefore, when Goudan mentioned the warhammer that looked small but was extremely heavy and could be recalled by the user, one of the elders excitedly said the name of 'Luna Star Hammer', and then the strange little The shield was also determined by them as a special protective weapon for the high elves, 'Guardian Moon'!
Although the name sounds a little bit awkward, the Luna Star Hammer is a weapon made entirely of "star iron". This metal only exists in the Luna Kingdom, and it is a divine creation—there are no real stars in this world. The stars that mortals see are actually the Kingdom of God embedded in the God Realm—it is a gift from the Moon God that only devout believers of the Moon God can obtain.
Even though the Luna Star Hammer is only less than 30 centimeters long, tens of thousands of fanatics are required to get the share of star iron it uses. It is impossible for fanatics to hand over the gift of the gods in their hands, so they can only wait for the other party to pass away through other methods. The method is obtained, considering that most of the believers of the Moon God are elves, I am afraid that it will take far more than a thousand years just to collect materials.
After the Luna Star Hammer is cast, it is said that only high elves can hold it. It can smash rocks with a single wave, and even smash mountains with a full blow. , but is also a famous weapon of the high elves.
As for Guardian Moon Sky, it is a mass-produced equipment of high elves. Its defense power is not much different from that of ordinary metal shields, but the magical spells on the shield surface can deflect most attacks and divert the destructive power from the shield surface. Staggered to protect the holder in disguise.
It's just that the elf elders didn't recognize what the sack and the rope were, and could only confirm from the secret text above that they must also be the creation of the high elves.
Just when Edward was thinking about how to ask the elves for help, his system page popped up suddenly.
