"According to ancient legends, and the records left by the priests of the elves, it was an extremely long era..." Luoxue's voice dragged out, and said in a descriptive tone: "In this The mainland, and the whole world, once belonged to the demon race. Legend has it that they were born with excellent magical talents, and possessed a super-strong body, which was comparable to the strongest orc, and their intelligence was also outstanding. At that time, you humans and Orcs... just like the slaves in the human world, they are all inferior groups. The only ones who can enjoy a little freedom are the dwarves living in the deep mountains and the elves in the forest. But even so, the dwarves must Surrender to the demons and pay offerings on a regular basis. According to legend, the reason why those powerful demons did not directly conquer the dwarves is entirely because of a fatal weakness of the demons... They are afraid of places without sunlight. If exposed to the sun, the demons will become weak. Therefore, the dwarves who live in caves in the mountainside of the Qilima Mule Mountains can survive.
As for our elves, we also have to maintain a stance of submission to the demons.
The demons use the sun as their totem and worship sunlight and fire. They also built a gigantic city in the center of the continent! It is said that the scale of that city is unimaginably large, and a tall tower was erected in the middle. According to legend, it can directly reach the sky and communicate directly with their demon gods and demons. And that city is called "Sun City". Tens of millions of demons live there! It is said that even walking around the Sun City would take at least a month! At the top of the tower, there lived the priests of the Demon Race. Can directly communicate with the demon god, and directly get the will of the demon god. In that era, the Demon Race was considered to be a race ordered by the Demon God to rule the world!
According to ancient legends. Because they were unwilling to be enslaved, various races in other lands had resisted many times, but unfortunately, because of the blessing of the powerful demon god and the powerful power of the demon race, they were all wiped out one after another.
In the end, people from other races sent representatives to unite and decided to unite against the enslavement of the demons. Moreover, an ancient golden rule of life has been handed down, which redefines the level of creatures in this world and re-agrees. All races should live in this world equally. Because of that agreement together, all the races were united for the first time.
We elves, dwarves, orcs, and humans all pray to the patron saints of our own beliefs for help.
But. According to the theogony handed down from ancient times, demon gods and demons stand in the position of the supreme god in the theogony. And the beast god, the elf god, the dwarf god, and the human god. None are as powerful as demons.
As a last resort, many gods, in order to gain the power to fight against the demons, finally... "
Having said this, Luo Xue's voice suddenly stopped.
The Elven King's eyes fell on the long spear, he suddenly shook his head, sighed, and pointed at the imitation Longchinus' spear. Slowly said: "Gods, in order to defeat the mighty demon god, we worked together to create such a spear. The god of orcs bestowed this spear with great power. The elf god bestowed its magic power, and the dwarf god used a magical method Forge this spear to be indestructible. And humans... "
Du Wei had never heard of these. Immediately asked: "The god of mankind, what did you bestow on this spear?"
There was a complicated taste in the Elf King's smile, he was silent for a while, then spread his hands: "No."
"… No?"
"No, nothing." The Elf King smiled and said, "According to ancient legends, even in the ancient gods, the status of human earth gods in the gods is very low. It is said that they don't have any particularly powerful abilities." But However, in the process of working together to fight against demons, human beings and gods are an indispensable key link. Luoxue suddenly stretched out her hand, and with a light move, the long spear in the room flew off the shelf and flew into Luoxue's hand. The Elf King lightly held the imitation cross long spear, staring at the barrel of the spear However, the answers were not revealed immediately, but Du Wei was asked a strange question instead.
"Duke Tulip, do you know what those demons look like?"
It was naturally impossible for Du Wei to know this question, but Luo Xue didn't seem to want Du Wei to answer it, so he quickly gave the answer.
"From the outside, the demons are very close to you humans. However, the bodies of the demons are far stronger than humans, and their magical talents are also extremely outstanding. Moreover, both male and female demons are far more beautiful than humans. They are much more handsome. It can even be said that if you look at it purely from the appearance, the demons are taller, handsomer, more beautiful, and more capable than humans, but there is almost no obvious difference in essential appearance from humans. We have always suspected that, in fact, demons and humans should They are the same kind of creatures, except that human beings are inferior and demons are superior. Of course, the only slight difference is that every demon, no matter male or female, has a A tiny horn!"
Tiny... horns
The last sentence made Du Wei's heart jump wildly for a while. Fortunately, Du Wei, who is a great magician, already has the ability to control himself fully. His face and eyes have not changed at all, and even his heartbeat is only sudden and rapid. After a while, the balance was instantly restored.
But when the bottom of my heart stretched out, there was a huge wave! !
horn?
Almost with strong perseverance, Du Wei finally did not make a subconscious action: to reach out and touch the horns on his head.
However, what is the intention of the Elf King suddenly raising this question? ! Could it be that this guy has seen through the…
Du Wei suddenly said, "Does the appearance of the demons have something to do with this gun?"
"It's not directly related, but there are other important reasons." The Elf King sighed faintly. In beautiful eyes. Suddenly, a sad and sad look flashed in his eyes.
He said in a soft voice: "I have come all the way to your human world. I found that in your world, all records and traces about the demons have been completely wiped out, leaving nothing behind! Even You people here have no idea that such a powerful race existed! It was completely wiped out. I was very surprised! But... I was passing by a small place in the north a few days ago, and accidentally found it in a small town. In the tavern. I heard a bard sing a long poem. It tells a legendary story, this story. Let me listen to it, but I was very, very shocked!! And the most important thing is that after I inquired carefully afterwards , only to find out that this story has been circulated among you humans a lot. Although the versions are different, it is basically the same."
This Luoxue talked so much, but somehow got involved in some legendary poem sung by a bard... Du Wei couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
But after all, Luoxue is the one who knows the truth. There is a reason why this guy is so devious.
Sure enough, the Elf King suddenly coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and then raised his finger. One tap on the spear...
When he knocked like this, Du Wei's heart sank immediately. Hurry up and be on guard. But luckily. This time the Elf King struck the butt of his gun. But he did not release his magic shock wave.
Fingers tapped on the handle of the gun. There was a rhythmic crisp sound. Just under this rhythm, the Elf King used a voice full of sadness. Slowly read a long poem...
This is a typical Roland Continental style narrative poem. It tells a legendary fairy tale. Even Du Wei heard this story from his mother when he was a child.
The content is roughly like this:
In a peaceful and beautiful place, there is a beautiful and sad girl. Unfortunately, her beauty has brought her all misfortunes.
There is a terrible and powerful demon king. Raiding the girl's hometown.
The people struggled in the flames.
Livestock do not prosper, farms do not prosper.
The devil fell in love with the beautiful girl and said: Marry me and give me your heart. I will return the tranquility of your hometown and the freedom of your people.
The girl is heartbroken! She hated the Demon King, let alone her lover.
But. In order to defend their own land and relatives. The girl made a sacrifice! She bid farewell to her beloved lover and walked into the house of the devil alone!
She said: O king, I am willing to give myself to you, please forgive my relatives. I offer my surrender!
The devil said: I don't need your surrender, what I need is your heart!
The girl became the wife of the Demon King, and day after day passed.
The devil loves his wife deeply, but he doesn't know it, his wife. How much I hate myself.
And finally one day. The devil to his beloved wife. Completely let go of the guard in my heart. He no longer went out to wreak havoc, making the girl's hometown peaceful. Let the livestock thrive. The crops are luxuriant and the people are free.
But he doesn't know. The beautiful girl doesn't love him in her heart, she only has hatred in her heart!
Finally, on this day, the devil king was drunk, and the girl looked at her drunken husband and asked him: Your honorable king, you are so powerful, there is no one in this world that can match you, but do you have no weaknesses?
The devil loves his wife so much, so he lost his guard and revealed his weaknesses.
It turns out that as long as the devil's beard is cut off, he can lose his powerful divine power!
So in the night of this day, the girl cut off the beard of the devil with a knife while the devil was asleep!
And the demon king who had lost his beard woke up and found out angrily that he had lost his divine power.
Then, the girl's lover, who was waiting outside, rushed in and killed the demon king with a sword.
…
Du Wei has heard many stories like this since he was a child. As for this story, there are indeed many rumors in the Roland Continent, but the versions are different, and the details of some stories are also circulated differently in different places.
At this moment, Luoxue suddenly mentioned this story, Du Wei was stunned for a moment... However, he is a very smart person after all, after a while, Du Wei suddenly cried out: "Could it be???"
Seeing Du Wei's surprised expression, Luoxue nodded slowly: "Yes, that's what you guessed."
The Elf King's expression was very strange: "According to ancient records, the demon god fell in love with the human goddess, and the human goddess, in order to deceive the demon god's trust, agreed to it and became the queen of the god, but when the demon god and the human goddess combined, The next day, the goddess finally learned about the only weakness of the demon god! The only weakness of the demon is the horn on the top of its head! As long as the horn is cut off, the demon will become weak! So, taking advantage of the demon god While sleeping soundly, the goddess cut off the demon god's horn with a special knife!
After waking up, the demon was extremely angry. Unfortunately, its strength has weakened! Those who are waiting for it are already prepared, holding a powerful weapon created by the gods of other races with their respective divine powers...another patron saint of mankind! "
"Wait... wait!!" Du Wei felt his throat dry: "Another patron saint of human beings? What do you mean by that? Is the goddess of light not the only god of human beings?!"
Luoxue listened, but took a deep look at Du Wei, sneered, and asked in a strange tone: "Who told you that the only human god is the Goddess of Light?"
