He stood up from the ground, circled the fire a few times, and asked Doris in a cold voice:
"You said before that all the royal families of the elves are pure blood, is that true?"
Doris nodded and said strangely:
"yes."
Lidd asked:
"But doesn't your father have a harem? For example, if he takes a fancy to a non-pure-blooded elf family and brings it into the harem, won't the offspring produce non-pure blooded elves? Or those princes and princesses of the royal family, who are not pure-blooded? If the blood-blooded elves had a relationship, wouldn't it also lead to impure bloodlines of the offspring?"
Doris shook her head:
"No. Our elves have their own glory, that is blood. In the history of our elves, the blood of the royal family has never married outside, nor married into non-pure blood elves. Everything is for the sake of maintaining bloodlines. purely."
Lied asked again:
"But there are always exceptions. For example, if the frontline battle is tight, it is necessary to negotiate a peace or win foreign aid. In this case, marriage seems to be the most common method. Can you elves not use it?"
Doris snorted and said:
"No. Never."
Lieder asked:
"Okay. I believe what you said, but how to guarantee this? It is impossible for every generation of elf kings to have the same idea, and there will always be exceptions. Just like human beings will produce tyrants and faint kings, as long as the power is too concentrated, what will happen?" Nothing is absolute."
Doris also stood up and said:
"If I say there is none, there will be none in the future! Our pure-blood elves have been taught the nobility of blood since childhood, and we will never marry non-pure-blood elves in this life, let alone marry with foreign races! As for the father , naturally under the control of the ministers. Those ministers care more about the purity of the blood than we do. In this matter, their power is greater than that of the father. There was once a princess who eloped with an elf who was not pure blood. I hid my daughter, but the ministers found out the princess and beat her to death. At that time, the elf king hugged his daughter's body and cried for three days and three nights, but he didn't dare to say a word. Do you think there is still pure blood Does your elf dare to combine with outsiders? Not even the father!"
There was a hint of anger in her words, and the little favor she had for Lid quickly faded away.
This is her glory, a glory that no one can touch.
Lide's tone slowed down a bit, but he still didn't stop asking:
"There is no channel for accommodation? For example, to bribe all the ministers, or the situation has become so difficult that even the ministers have to let go of their pride?"
Doris replied coldly:
"I don't know."
Lid sat down irritably, rubbed his hair, and sighed.
Doris couldn't bear to see him restless, but she didn't want to put down her body to find him and make up. So he also sat back to the original position, the four of them were silent for a while, then Li De suddenly said:
"Don't be angry, I suspect you have been betrayed."
Doris raised her head and asked suspiciously:
"Sold? Ben Gong?"
Lide nodded, his face was tangled, obviously he didn't know whether he should tell her or not. But after only a brief hesitation, he opened his mouth and said:
"The ninth son of the Dragon King died some time ago, in the capital of the human king."
Doris raised her eyebrows, something she didn't know.
Alaya and Shiloh didn't respond, they didn't care too much about this kind of thing, they just listened quietly.
Lide said slowly:
"Not many people know about this, but it did happen. The ninth son of the Dragon King, Overland, took advantage of the rift in the Human Nation Protection Formation to lead the Feilong Legion into the Human King's Capital. It turned out to be of mediocre strength, and died in a place called Tianyue Mountain. Most human beings are not very clear about this, but the Dragon King must know that his son died at the hands of human beings."
Doris made no secret of her schadenfreude:
"Hmph! Those guys from the Dragon Clan aren't really good things. They die when they die. What's the big deal?"
Lied said slowly:
"Yes, if you die, you will die. But the problem is that the Dragon King has not sent anyone to retaliate until now, and the entire border between humans and dragons is very quiet. Logically speaking, it has been so long, even if the Dragon King is not there in person, Auf Lante's brothers and sisters should also bring someone to fight. I was curious about this issue before, but it has nothing to do with me anyway, so I don't care. Now that I think about it, the Dragon King might have gone to the Eastern Front. That is to say, I went to war with you elves."
Doris froze for a moment.
Lied asked:
"I remember on the way, you said that before you were kidnapped, you were going to visit the soldiers who fought against the Dragon Clan, right? Why did you let your majestic princess go to visit? According to you, those soldiers should be black-skinned soldiers with impure blood. Elves, in the eyes of you pure blood elves, it doesn't matter at all."
Doris opened her mouth and stammered:
"Ben, I don't know either... but my father seems to say that the frontline battle is tight..."
Lid narrowed his eyes and said:
"The Dragon King will do it himself, and your night elves probably won't be able to resist it. The pure-blooded elves have no fighting power, and I'm afraid they have already suffered heavy casualties. The Dragon King has seen this, and intends to swallow your elves completely, and then turn around." Deal with the human side. As the princess of the elves, you have to go to the front line to condolences to the soldiers, which means that the elves have been severely injured."
He looked at Doris who was silent, and suddenly said:
"Under such circumstances, how many people do you think will support the so-called [pure-bloods are not allowed to marry] treaty? The country is in danger, cede land for compensation, lose power and humiliate the country, what can't be done?"
Doris felt a chill piercing through her bones, and said loudly:
"Impossible! Those ministers—"
Lide looked into her eyes, interrupted her mercilessly, and said eight words to her in turn:
"A fait accompli cannot be changed."
Doris froze there for an instant.
Lid broke off the branches left by Hilo after eating the meat skewers one by one, threw them into the bonfire, and said:
"You can't lose face of the royal family. From your description, I can see that purebloods with no combat effectiveness can rule over non-purebloods with explosive combat effectiveness, relying on the concept of dignity that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. So for purebloods Only elves have so many constraints, such as not being able to intermarry with non-pure-blooded elves. But if a pure-blooded elf is kidnapped, when he is found, he has already had a relationship with a big man from the demon clan, and the raw rice is boiled. Cooked rice, then a forced marriage seems to be logical. As long as you kill your non-pure blood guards and dump the blame on them, the face of the royal family can still be maintained, and everything is justified. "
Doris felt that her breathing was getting faster and faster, her throat was dry, and she gasped for several breaths, but she only said:
"Father... Father will not agree..."
Lied said indifferently:
"He will, maybe he led it! The ministers are probably tacit understanding... I should have thought that no matter how bad the elves are, people around the princess will not be bribed. Even if it is true The guards around you bought you, how many more people do you need to buy to transport you all the way to the demons? During the whole process, your father and the ministers didn't respond at all?"
Doris clenched her fists tightly, said "Ben Gong" and "Ben Gong" a few times, and finally sat down on the ground slumped, her eyes were as dim as dead ashes, and tears rolled down to the ground. on the ground.
