Chapter 525: Mortal Revenge

Why is it that more than 600 years have passed, and ordinary elves have become the most loyal supporters of the Lan Alliance, the human empire, while the upper elves, who are the upper echelons and owners of the elven empire, regard the two brothers and sisters Rorschach and Luo Li as mortal enemies.

The reason is that the upper elves, in that turmoil or even revolution, lost control over the lower elves.

The three pacties, negotiated by the Elven Queen and Roland herself, were certified and signed by the Superior Elves, but hundreds of years later, the Superior Elves themselves were nailed to the pillar of shame of stupidity and short-sightedness.

For thousands of years, the higher elves have "protected" the lower elves, and the order that the lower elves surround and support the higher elves has been taken for granted, but the door opened by the three concords has provided a new way of life.

Ordinary elves escaped from the shackles of the land, leaving the control of the higher elves on a large scale, living in other kingdoms, and traveling between the two places.

They had the time, skills, and labor, and for the most part quickly became wealthy, and in the Northlands, where many races coexisted, people could even treat the undead equally, not to mention the elves with a fairly high average appearance.

They were treated as equals or even above here, and had accumulated a considerable amount of wealth, but when they returned, they found that not only had nothing changed in their hometown, but that the bad squires and rich men were still waiting to collect their taxes, which was naturally quite unhappy.

For example, it is like a villager who has lived in a closed small mountain village for a long time, and finally goes out to work and earns money, and has a real estate, a family and a family in a big city.

In particular, he obviously earns a lot of property, has a career and status outside, and is still a second-class or even third-class citizen when he goes back, and is discriminated against by a group of "rich landlords" and "old landlords".

Even if you just discriminate, you have to have a showdown and pay taxes, just give money, and give the other party with an impatient face, and if you hesitate to give it slowly, you will even be beaten and abused, while the neighbors in the surrounding townships who have not gone out are taken for granted.

Intelligent beings who are accustomed to the outside world and are accustomed to being respected and treated equally, how can they stand this anger, even if they were able to endure it before.

And the free migration part of the three covenants allows them to return to the realm of the elves freely...... You can also be free to never come back for the rest of your life.

As a result, after many elves went back once, they never went back, not only did they not go back, but they also moved their families out, and the labor freedom and visa-free agreement made the customs of the elf empire completely open to their own people.

In a sense, this pact is a big pit, and some of the elves in the pit are indeed quite miserable.

A massive loss of population is inevitable, and it is a normal result that there is a complete openness to free immigration and a huge disparity in living conditions between the two places.

And at this time, the upper elves were not aware of it, they just happily watched the civilians go out to find work, and then brought back several times, dozens of times the wealth and taxes.

By the time they really realized that something was wrong, or even completely out of control, it was too late.

The most obvious thing is that no matter how the tax is collected, it will no longer rise but gradually decline, nearly half of the population has become a floating population, and the original social system of big lords-lords-commoners has directly collapsed, even within the elven empire, they are also accustomed to free movement of population.

At this point, the power of another agreement is even more terrifying.

If the agreement on overseas investment and the return of elven overseas Chinese to invest in China only disintegrated the cornerstone of elves' rule before, then this agreement and what he brought directly gave the cornerstone the last blow.

What it brings is a new aristocracy, a new ruling class, and a new mortal enemy of the upper elves.

As mentioned earlier, the foundation of the nobility of the upper elves, in the final analysis, is their strength, the armies and legions that have mastered supernatural powers at this dangerous time.

However, the magic revolution also brought about a reshuffle of military strength, and the elves who came back from the most prosperous Lan League human countries in the magic revolution had technology, power, money, and connections, and the act of returning to China to invest and set up factories shattered the original social structure of the tribal system, and redistributed human resources in society with factories, associations, and enterprises as units.

In the past, the grassroots cadres and village chiefs who were full of words could not speak at all in front of the factory directors and bosses, and it was natural that there was a large-scale transfer of power at the grassroots level.

With money and people, the new aristocracy naturally wanted status and political discourse.

And this is not only a personal ambition, but also a kind of self-preservation and practical needs.

Back then, there were many high-ranking elf nobles who still retained the concepts and habits of the past, what should I do if the pig is fat........ Kill and eat!

Several forcible embezzlements not only caused a lot of internal contradictions, but also attracted the attention of the entire Lan Alliance and even the world powers, and what followed, was a series of diplomatic disputes and internal struggles, and the chaos lasted for several years, but the high-ranking elves wanted to continue to have people come back to set up factories, and someone to pay taxes to them, so they naturally had to compromise.

"We need to protect our armed forces. ”

Everyone knows that the little nobles below and the vampires above have no bottom limit at all, and there is no basis for words, and they can only start from themselves to protect themselves.

The factory has a guard team, the company has the power to hire guards and mercenaries, and the magic technology has brought war machines such as magic armor and floating warships, and the traditional elven magic and archers have no advantage in the body of steel, and the Northland barbarians and Northland orcs are very good melee mercenaries.

And this is not only a measure to preserve one's own property, but also to take into account the problems of future generations.

The original elven society was a subspecies and a village, and it was not allowed for subspecies to intermarry with each other, and if the mixed-race wild elves were treated as hybrids, they were not even as good as hybrids given to the half-elves born of other races, and they were not even regarded as intelligent creatures and clansmen, and it was already the best treatment to be driven away.

But when you go out to make a living, the village will naturally be torn apart, and there will be more opportunities for contact with other subspecies of elves, and more contact with other intelligent beings, and it will naturally be easy to spark love.

Then, it is more normal to rub out wild elves and half-elves.

Parents always feel sorry for their children, especially when most of the elves who come out begin to question the problems of past traditions, and the calm and equal attitude of the other races in the Northland towards wild elves and half-elves has deeply affected them.

After going back, they will naturally use the power of money and power to fight for equal rights for wild elves and half-elves, and this is also supported by the Lan Alliance and even the whole world in the new era of equal coexistence of intelligent life in the Northland.

This undoubtedly completely shattered the moral tradition and social concept of the entire elven society.

In the end, it was the new aristocracy that won, because they had the support of the commoners, with their own armies, supporters, industries, money, foreign supporters, and the upper elves at this time, were at their weakest and most chaotic.

This is not a simple process, there are struggles and repetitions, and it takes two or three hundred years for the elven generation to really stabilize.

The new aristocracy was fortunate to live in an era when there was money and power, and when they gradually became bigger and bigger, even big enough to join forces to attack political power, the elves found that the situation was completely out of control.

At this time, it is impossible for them to tear up the agreement.

At that time, the elven empire, if you divide the political and military strength, the old high-ranking elf nobles are 6, and the new nobles are not 5 or at least 4....... Even if he wins without loss, it is impossible to return to the era of manipulating and even enslaving the lower elves at will.

Their own people can't agree on their opinions, and the power of the Lan Alliance is getting bigger and bigger, and it is impossible to tear up the agreement.

At this time, as time goes by, the higher elves will lose more and more control of the country, and the balance of power will always change in favor of the newcomer.

In modern times, the Elven Empire has probably been completely divided.

The elves of the upper rank are eager for the disintegration of the Lan Alliance, which is equivalent to tearing up the three covenants and giving a possibility of returning to "honor........ Although they have a little bit of intelligence, their own people don't believe it very much.

Six hundred years, even for the elves is three generations, the changes are still quite big, especially in the new era of information explosion, people's concepts and ideas are changing with each passing day.

Even many enlightened high-ranking elves began to doubt whether the traditions of the past were correct, leaving their ancestral business behind, trying to embrace the new era and the new aristocracy, and become one of them.

At this point, the so-called tradition and social structure of the elven empire are completely finished, and the naturally noble "fate" of the high-ranking elves has become a joke and an old antique.

And the lower elves in the past, the main force of the elven empire now, and the beneficiaries of the new era, are naturally the staunchest supporters of the Lan Alliance.

The old school is naturally reluctant to be swept into the dustbin of history like this, they chant "traditional morality", "restore the ancient system" and fight for power, not to mention, it is quite useful, after all, there are a lot of old antiques in the immortal species, and many old and strong people are not too allergic to the new era.

When many old aristocrats chanted the traditional focus on the hearts of the old-fashioned people, some smart people shouted the slogan of "royalty" and slapped them hard.

Okay, your high-ranking elves are born nobles, and they have been at the top for thousands of years, right, then, since you want to restore the ancient system, do we want to restore the era of the ancient elf empire ruled by the golden elves? After all, we are also an empire in name now.

What? Why can't you say no? Why can't you? Is it because you were in power and were traitors yourself?

The explosion of information in the information age has turned many ancient secrets into secrets that everyone knows, and it has also made the identities of the high-ranking elves more subtle.

"Why are you a rebel shouting the banner of morality and tradition? Now that the elven queen has disappeared again, is it your fault again!"

In the face of such a question, the more veteran elves do not know how to answer.

Outcome........ There is no result, can the two sides quarrel with each other? It is impossible to persuade the other party with their mouths, and it is almost the same as using a knife.

But what happened was that the Rorschach brothers and sisters, who were thousands of miles away, were innocently shot again.

The grudge between the upper elf and the two siblings is no longer a historical allusion and a boring battle of will, as a golden elf, Luo Li can really return to the elf empire, and the new nobles will definitely support her to completely overthrow the elves and completely complete the social reform of the elf empire.

No one knew about these things back then, but the high-ranking elves of the stakeholders were the most innocent in their hearts, and they were ruthless enough to act, and they paid a heavy price for it, but most of the stakeholders were worthy of this cost-effective, and even thought that the perpetrator was a noble "self-sacrificer".

However, they didn't expect that she Luo Li also had an older brother, who also appeared as a golden elf in Anthoreen.

And now, they are even more panicked, before, they were still a little panicked to prevent the future, and now they ..... The future that must be prevented is here.

The barrier of Ansoreen has been opened, and it is theoretically possible for a golden spirit to return to the Northland from Ansoreen.

Coupled with Rorschach's possible identity as the stabilizer of the Lan League, and the support and help that he may also attract from the Lan League, it is even more terrifying for the upper elves.

The first-hand news from the north, as well as the recent dimensional storm, made Rorschach completely understand.

He and some of the high-ranking elves have probably become mortal enemies with no way out.
