"The most favored and favored child of the mother goddess - the elves."
If the creator also has his own preferences, then the elves are undoubtedly the most favored children.
The beautiful face, long lifespan, powerful and preferred talents, the possibility of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, and the potential of the upper elves and royal elves beyond the ordinary, all of these are the grace of the creator.
And these favors have also created a unique elf culture. Their talent for war and long life have brought them to the peak of the multiverse in magic and martial arts, and formed a social structure with strict hierarchy but strict division of labor.
With their naturally beautiful faces, coupled with their sensitivity and unremitting pursuit of beautiful things, their art, music, and literature have all reached the point of extravagance and waste, and this also allows them to have a long-standing ethnic culture, which will not follow the long ice age. disintegrate.
The elf, the most beloved child of the creator, is a truth that no living creature can deny.
No civilization has such a long history. The oldest golden elves are the golden people born with the first ancient dragons and demons. It can be said that they were born at the beginning of the world.
In the history of elves, they have fought with trolls, exchanged technologies with sage civilizations, and even taught ancient and modern humans what magic is. Their brilliance is too long and too long.
"Don't discuss history and art in front of elves, just as don't brag about courage in front of orcs." This old adage, perhaps, says a lot.
Jihad is cruel. Other dominant races have lost their status as "protagonists" and often die in history, such as troll empires, sage civilizations, dwarf city-states, and republics of the dead. The elves who have experienced several jihads, but only Gradually withdrew from the stage of history.
This is not only because of the grace of the creator and the potential of the race, but also because the elves were very good at dealing with other races in the past, and at many key points in history, they stood on the side of the victor.
The Republic of the Undead, the civilization of the sages, and the kingdom of mages of modern human beings, they have all been more or less favored by elves. Under the guidance of the golden elves, the elves have always expressed their gratitude to the upstart races except trolls. Inexplicably friendly.
But perhaps it is precisely because of this slightly weak way of doing things that the golden elves are gradually opposed by the upper elves who yearn for greater glory and eternity.
"Why should we bow our heads to those inferior monkeys!"
"Why do we move into forests and mountains."
"Why can't we simply eliminate those lower races?"
With the passage of time and the coming and going of elemental tides, the golden elves, like other races from ancient times, have entered the end stage. The reduction of elemental power has led to the gradual decrease in the fertility rate of the golden elves as ancient races. At that time, the birth of every golden elf can make the empire hold the grandest celebration ceremony.
On the other hand, the holy wars and racial wars of the past dynasties have damaged the top golden elves immortals, and the spiritual decline has caused the senior elves to fall into eternal sleep. The new generation is insufficient, and other lower elves and upper elves naturally gradually occupy the society the upper layer.
Does it look familiar? Yes, the current moon elves and silver elves are also facing the same problem. The number and quality of the lower races have increased, and naturally they can't stand the increasingly poor and weak upper races, which makes stupid and wise decisions with the upper races. It doesn't matter, it is simply that with social change, the forces of all social strata are rebalanced, and the new mainstream social stratum has re-selected agents.
Just as changes in productivity lead to social changes, in the magical world, the replacement of upper-level combat power and strategic personnel naturally leads to social changes, or the entire society is calling for change.
At this time, no matter what the golden elves do, it is wrong. Therefore, the upper elves holding the banner of freedom collectively rebelled. The rebellion is not only a mortal thing, but the shuffle of the elf god system is the key, the final result , that is, the golden elves were all destroyed, the gods fell and the mortals died. Only Heloise woke up after a few hundred years, but it was already a different person.
But the success is also small and the failure is also small. The golden elves who have ruled the elves for countless years are obviously wise. Even if they must decentralize power, they hand over the country's most important military, religion, people's livelihood, and diplomacy to different upper elves. , Although such a political structure led to the emergence of family groups in the upper elves, it also made them restrict each other.
Moreover, it also buried the cause of future shattering.
When the golden elves fell down, the four high-ranking elves with similar strengths faced the biggest headache. They were not far from each other, and no one was willing to be a subordinate, but it would be really good to see them immediately. It was so stupid that for a while, parliamentary and patriarchal systems seemed to be the only options.
result? The scattered elf tribes and elf kingdoms are the proof. Some things only need to look at the results. The turning point of elves from prosperity to decline lies in the collapse of the great elf empire. Losing the balance and lubrication of golden elves, everything started to get out of control.
The dark elves and Rose were exiled as losers in the struggle, the wood elves and the Druid alliance left the elf empire and joined the neutral nature camp, other high elves fought against the wood elves, the moon elves and the silver elves broke apart, if the golden elves were still there, these No historical event will happen.
When the head on the top of the head was taken down, the upper elves and the elves were extremely inflated after tasting the joy of victory and power, and they all thought that they could replace the "corrupt and weak golden elves" and lead the elves to a better tomorrow. … Then the upper elves with different natures began to intervene in each other's domain, and the constant friction eventually escalated into a civil war, followed by a jihad, which made the elf empire return to the tribal system.
If you talk about losing your family quickly, I am afraid there are few races that can compare to the high elves. Of course, they will not admit it themselves. Everything is "other people's fault", "it's all the fault of this world", "it's all gold" The conspiracy of the elves"... Although there is more or less the responsibility of the golden elves, it is really tragic that everyone is dug up and shot.
When the various branches of the elves split up, everyone was very happy. I am afraid there is a thought of "finally there is no such drag", but the days are getting more and more difficult, and naturally some people will miss the old dynasty. Being surpassed by "short-lived monkeys" such as humans, and becoming more and more marginalized, the life of the elves became more and more difficult, and they began to miss the era of great empires again.
With the accumulation of difficult years, more and more high-ranking elves miss the glory of the past, and in the eyes of some old antiques, they feel that it is a bit ironic of fate.
And now, the elves have once again reached a turning point in their fate.
The moon elves have established a new elf empire in name, which is a long-cherished wish, and at the moment, the realization of this long-cherished wish is indeed very meaningful.
First of all, it rules all the elves in name, so when the imperial capital is threatened, are the elves obliged to rescue? And if someone escapes from the Moon Wheel Capital at this time, can it be said that he is a deserter and a shameless traitor
The answer is yes, there will always be old-fashioned and dogmatic people among the elves. The moon elves have not given up hope, and they long for even a glimmer of hope.
Every day, countless reinforcements set off from all over the world to Lunar Capital, including wood elf druids and rangers who walked out of the forest, half-elves and human mercenaries who admired elf culture, and those who longed for merit and glory. Young warrior.
"Maybe the information is wrong? Maybe the magic tide is not as desperate as the historical records? Maybe, we still have reinforcements, we have the blessing of the gods, we can survive this magic tide, and we can survive this disaster."
This kind of fluke may seem stupid, but if you put yourself in the shoes, there is a very accurate prediction that an island country on Earth is about to sink into the sea in ten days, what will happen
Because the population is too large and the time is too short, the great escape is too late, and even if those islanders flee to other countries and are kindly accepted, but become refugees, the country is completely over, and even the homeland is gone, this nation still counts Does it exist? Even if he exists, can he still be independent and free
And if they were enemies on all sides like elves, and the national elves were still the most valuable slaves in the eyes of human beings, the actual situation was even more terrifying than what was assumed.
If there is a great escape of elves, and countless elves flee to other countries in confusion, will the border line on the human side jump out of a dozen slave-capturing brigades? Count on the integrity and lower limit of those human nobles
To be honest, this kind of assumption and decision is too difficult to make, but no matter how you look at it, no matter what decision the elves make, it is a scene of despair.
If the decision to escape is made, it is equivalent to announcing the end of the Moon Elf Empire in advance, and the ensuing elf catastrophe and humanitarian disaster, but the historical responsibility that no high elves can shoulder, in their eyes, it is also equivalent to The slow death of the entire elves might as well be united to face the doomsday crisis.
Even, driven by various fluke mentalities, there have been rumors that the magic tide will not appear in the capital of the moon. This is just a rumor spread by humans to disintegrate the elf empire.
Don't say, this rumor has been passed on, and many people really believe it. After all, people always like to hear words that are beneficial to themselves.
Now, all the countries in the world are stunned by the moon elves, and they have not refuted the rumors! This seems to be an official acquiescence, they are actually whitewashing peace
The attitude of the moon elves is very clear. Now I have at least rebuilt the elf empire and left traces in history. I have been addicted to it. If I can survive it, I will make a lot of money. The odds of a crisis will also increase a lot.
In the eyes of some people, this kind of fluke mentality is the most stupid. You are all trapped in the pit. At this time, pull people into the pit together. Are you happy to die together
At this time, the most rational thing is to shout "leave me alone", and then obediently go into the pit to die, so as to preserve the blood of the elf as much as possible, but many times, especially when life is threatened, the sensibility of intelligent creatures Instinct will far outweigh reason.
Perhaps, the divided silver elves saw through all this and chose to go north, but it seems that it is too late for them.
Perhaps, it was the creator who did not want to see the elves perish, so he drove the invisible hand of fate and touched the key people at the critical moment.
"Roland, come here, I have found something here, which makes people very concerned."
At this time, I was a little surprised to hear Heloise's exclamation, because in the soul link, there are rare surprises and joys. Is there anything that can make the well-informed Heloise so happy.
I didn't expect too much from the succubus lord's treasury, because these old guys have a habit of not putting real treasures in their homes, or being robbed by enemies or losing money and losing people... Well, I He admitted that he had dug up a bunch of treasure houses and drew a bunch of real and fake treasure maps.
As for the treasure trove at home? How much to leave something, so that others will not be able to kill empty-handed to vent their anger, after all, no one can really prevent thieves for a thousand days.
I was a little surprised to see Didina, I didn't expect her to be so "new"? But then, judging from the undisguised surprise on her face, it seems that she didn't expect it too.
Walking into the treasure trove, I saw a pile of dazzling golden lights, but without my identification, those gold coin mountains are not the fantasy gold coins of the dwarfs, or the cursed gold coins of the devils.
In the golden light, Heloise and Margaret were busy around some worn antique furniture. Among them, the one they repeatedly wiped with a wet towel was a classic white oak dresser.
"Roland, this is the dresser I used back then!"
Heloise just showed it to me like a treasure, maybe because she was too excited to see her supplies back then, and her mental age seemed to be deteriorating.
Looking for me just for this? I said angrily.
"Yes, yes, all the furniture back then can be regarded as super antiques. You have further proved your fossil-like age... Strange?"
At this time in the past, the dead cat had turned into a flying cat and bit her, but today she was a little excited and a little strange.
"Hmph, I know you don't know the goods, look at it."
Heloise stood in front of the mirror on the dressing table, clearly transformed into an adult form, and what appeared in the worn mirror was the blond elf.
She took a deep breath and tapped the mirror with her fingertips, but ripples slowly rippled.
She touched her neck, and the girl in the mirror did the same, but there was an extra golden sapphire necklace, and the next moment, the same golden necklace appeared on Heloise's neck. .
She nodded playfully on her forehead, and a small and lovely golden crown appeared on her forehead.
She stretched out her hand towards the mirror and shook it, no matter what was inside or outside the mirror, there was an extra golden scepter.
"The tears of Elvis, the will of the elf emperor, the last golden crown... The three-piece set of artifacts of the golden elf royal family! The lost certificate of the elf emperor!"
Didina actually recognized this treasure that has disappeared from history. I re-estimated her age and value again, but at this moment, I somehow felt that the situation was not right, and it seemed that some super trouble had been haunted.
Looking at the smiling Heloise, I should have been pleasantly surprised when I accidentally picked up a treasure, but this series of "coincidences" reminded me inexplicably of my previous conversation with Katiro (the former God of Destiny).
"Katiro, can you really control fate? Then, can you help me change my luck... I don't need wealth or anything, just give me a little luck for women, just give me a little more normal woman... "
"... I think it's a bit embarrassing, can I pretend that I don't know you?"
At that time, the underworld had been established, and the two had a sneaky conversation in private. Katiro was in a good mood, but it was rare for him to joke.
But I really wasn't kidding at the time. It's not a shame to say it out, but it's tragic. I just want a normal girlfriend to start a normal family. There are two A normal child, is this excessive
But then, Katiro was passing by, and since fate was mentioned, it must be taken seriously.
"Change your luck? Others may be able to, but you are impossible. Every individual is involved in countless causal threads. They shout that they are free from the shackles of fate, but they don't know that it is also part of fate."
"Every existence has its own destiny, or an ordinary life, or a hero's life, in the river of fate, but there is no essential difference. The thread of this fate is decided when they are born."
When he said this, Katiro gave me a playful look, as if there was something in his words.
"As the guardian of the Temple of Destiny and the River of Destiny, I can cut and re-link the thread of cause and effect, but to give an individual good luck in certain aspects, naturally, he must give him the same weight of bad luck. This is the basic rule of destiny. "
"This change is limited. The thread of other people's fate, I can watch it in the long river of fate, but I automatically forget it after I leave, and I can't reveal the slightest bit. No matter what changes I make, it is part of my destiny."
Hearing this, I am not surprised.
"Wealth luck doesn't matter, peach blossom luck is enough."
"Maybe this can be regarded as changing fate. And you, from the beginning, were not in the river of cause and effect. You can change the fate of those around you, but you have no luck or bad luck at all. You should be no luck..." The worst of luck is okay."
I still remember the incomprehensible sympathy in his eyes when he looked at me.
"I can implicate other people's marriage threads on you, but this is equivalent to challenging the original basic rules of the river of destiny, throwing cause and effect into the void, and in the end, not only will I be punished, but the peach blossoms will definitely become peach blossoms..."
"Then you have no use!? The master of destiny is so useless? You are still a powerful god, so useless."
At the time, I was very upset, and I scolded it outright, but Katiro laughed at that time.
"Yes, in the face of the invisible and invisible hand of fate, in the face of the inevitable confluence of countless coincidences, the god of fate is indeed very useless..."
He is clearly talking about his own powerlessness, but the master of fate seems to be showing off the greatness of fate.
"... No matter how I change and arrange it, it will not be able to match the fate of fate. Roland, let me give you a piece of advice, maybe you are not in the fate, but the people and things you involve are also in the long river of fate, unless You are willing to cut off all worries, and in the end, you still cannot escape."
That playful smile made my scalp go numb, and I once again confirmed that the most hated thing in this world is the magic stick, especially the magic stick that is half-speaking.
Now, looking at Heloise showing off her baby, I feel my scalp tingle more and more.
"Damn it, where did I get scammed?"
