Chapter 30: Going Their Own Way (3)
Why, then, did Azer know that the Lady of Lightness, thousands of kilometers away, was under serious threat at this time?
Ai Ze once said to Qi Tianci that Lady Sigh and himself were the purest new generation of undead in the entire undead clan, of course, if Fire Storm knew what Ai Ze said, then they would definitely scoff at Ai Ze's words. To be precise, there are not many new generation of undead in this entire undead clan, in fact, there is only one Azer.
And why did Aize lie to Qi Tianci and Viren? The answer is simple. At first, Aize didn't think about lying to the people he had just met, and it wasn't until he saw Hill that he decided to hide it.
So Aize made a very serious mistake, that is, he trusted his intelligence too much. If what Azer said before was true, then the appearance of the Lady of Light Sigh should not have any elven features, but should be closer to the appearance of a human, just like Ezel. Because after all, the undead were born from the magical race of humans, so if you want to say that an undead who is completely elven is the new generation of the undead, and it is also the race with the purest blood of the entire undead race, who would believe it?
For example, the current Hill doesn't believe it either. After an extremely unpleasant exchange with Ms. Sigh, Hill was able to completely form a bond with Ms. Sigh. Although Aize had told him the story of Ms. Sigh before this, he never knew that Lady Sigh was actually an elf in her previous life.
Hill has a bitter hatred for the elves who have become undead. Especially elves like Lady Sigh. No, it's supposed to be a former elf. Because the moment when Lady Sigh became an undead was the beginning of the decline of the entire elven race. Before Lady Sigh became an undead, the elves were the most powerful race on the entire continent, and the empire they had built was larger and more powerful than any empire built by humans today. In those days, elves were synonymous with Big Mac.
But with the generation of Lady Sigh choosing to join the new undead who had been separated from the humans at a time when the empire was in decline, the decline of the elves was inevitable. During the millennia of the gradual collapse of the Elven Empire, Hill was born. But Hill was just an ordinary young elf at the time, and there was nothing she could do about it when faced with the collapse of her empire. I can only watch with bitterness and helplessness as my country gradually splits up due to various problems, and gradually shrinks into a small country dependent on those emerging human empires.
But the worse is not over, as the human world continues to grow, they gradually encroach on the territory that originally belonged to the elves. At this time, there are only two paths left for the elves. One: It is to completely give up the dignity of their own national sovereignty, except for a small number of self-reserved lands allowed by a small number of human empires, the elves must give up all territories except these self-reserved lands. If that is the case, peace can be achieved. Although the territory is extremely reduced, it can at least meet the survival of the elves. After all, when humans encroached on the territory of the elves, they became victims of countless elves' lives. Two: That is to gather all the elves that can be gathered for the final desperate fight. But in the eyes of the elves at that time, there was no way out except for suicide. Because the elves at that time had been completely divided into several small territories that were not connected at all, not only that, but all the elves outside the territory were human countries that were eyeing them. These pathetic elves can't hide even one thing from the eyes of the human nation. Not to mention uniting, even if it is only a hundred or so elven army gathered, it will be warned by the human race, if the scale is expanded, it will face the encirclement and suppression of the human state.
And this is the reason why humans can completely replace the elves and become the new masters of this road. When the elves still ruled the continent, humans would make full use of the elves' compassion to cling to the wings of the elven empire, and the elves who believed in life also took good care of these poor and fragile little creatures. In this way, humans can avoid the attacks of other more powerful races under the protection of the elves, but on the other hand, they will expand around the elves and target those weak or unwarlike races. It doesn't matter if it's discovered by the elves. The humans were slick enough at the time to make up a reason to convince the elves that everything was the first of those races, and that the humans were simply forced to fight back. At that time, the simple elves did not know these things, and when they learned that their little creatures were under attack, they would send troops to help the humans.
This is an extremely long project, and it took mankind two hundred years to accomplish it. Generations of humanity have sacrificed for this, but no one has complained about it, and they have buried their empire dreams in their hearts. Even if there were a few mistakes in the middle, they were still hidden by humans. In this way, two hundred years later, when the strength of the human race was strong enough to compete with the elves, the human race finally tore its veil. Targeted the elves who were unaware of this and had been protecting them.
In the beginning, the elves were overwhelmed by the attacks on humans. Little did they know how powerful the seemingly fragile country had become. Even more lethal is that these humans have developed a kind of rattan armor that is light enough to defend against bows and arrows in response to the weaknesses of the elves. And the bow and arrow are the biggest reliance of the elves now. Although the elves were the first race on the continent to use magic, the elves prefer to call them life energy. The so-called life energy is naturally closely related to the creation of life, and as for destruction, they rely more on their own bows and arrows. And when their bows and arrows can no longer give enough vitality to the foreign race as before, their weakening is inevitable.
In this way, the once powerful Elven Empire was divided into several independent small tribes. And gradually die. When Ciel came of age, her elven tribe was already the last elven tribe in the world.
The last elven tribe is supported by an elf alone in Ciel. Although even now, Hill has only been an adult for a short time, but the reality has forced her to bear pressure that is completely unher own. On nights when no one was around, she always kept asking herself why, when the elven empire was in decline, why didn't those elves like the Lady of Light Sigh not only help her race turn the tide, but instead took the initiative to invest in something that had nothing to do with her, and joined a race that was completely opposite to the elves' morality, that is, the undead. But Hill himself didn't have any answers. She could only force these questions to be kept in her heart, and faltered with her own race.
However, this insistence became a complete laughable bubble when the apostles arrived. When he saw the first high-ranking apostle, Hill knew that the complete fall of his tribe was not far off. At that time, Hill did not choose to stay on the front line, but lurked through gritted teeth and tears as the apostles swept away the last hope of the elf. It wasn't until the apostles slaughtered all the house elves of this tribe and burned them all and took away all the valuable things that they quietly came out, killed several of the apostles in charge of the teleportation array, and then followed the traces left by the apostles all the way to the kingdom of Magellan. That's where the story begins.
I have to say that many things are closely related to fate. If it weren't for the apostles exterminating the last elven tribe, if it weren't for the fact that Hill chose to lurk instead of sending him to death in order to preserve his last strength, if it weren't for Hill following the apostles to the Kingdom of Magellan for revenge, maybe the Kingdom of Magellan, the indomitable city of Saint Sophie, would not have been able to survive the apostles' attack for so long. Then, the history of this continent will be completely rewritten.
But no matter what, Hill hates these undead who have betrayed the elves. She longed to kill every genie she met who had defected to the undead. It can be said that when he saw Ms. Sigh this time, Hill was already restrained enough. Otherwise, Hill and Lady Sigh would have already been separated.
So, it's not hard to understand why Hill is a little angry with Azer. After returning to the camp, Azer apologized to Ciel, but Ciel's slap slapped the flattering Azer away. So Aize had no choice but to close the door stupidly, choosing not to disturb Ci Xi'er who was taking a bath before Qi Tianci returned.
"Lady Sigh? Lady Sigh, I promise that I will avenge you for the entire elven race. Ciel poured a bucket of water over his head and gritted his teeth.
On the other side, Firestorm happened to ask the same question: "Hey, I said, ma'am, why does that elf girl seem to hate you so much? β
"I know why she's so much to me. The lady smiled bitterly, "Although I think I have made a little mistake, I still think she is too naΓ―ve." But thinking that she should have only been an adult for a long time, such a thing can be more or less forgivable. β
"Underage, so how old is she now?"
The Lady Temple thought for a while, and then replied affirmatively: "Well, if my calculation is not wrong, then she should be about a thousand to two thousand years old." It can't be any bigger. Because the elves are bigger than her, I should know them all. And everyone but me should be dead. β
"What, you say it's more than two thousand years old?" Firestorm opened his mouth widely, "One or two thousand years old is actually just an adult, oh mom, how can you elves have such a long life." β
"It's not us elves, it's them. I don't have a lifespan. The lady smiled, but anyone could see the bitterness on her face.
Behind him, Banksy thoughtfully summoned a dark yellow horse for each member. After eating the dragon meat, Banksys' energy had not only recovered, but also become more abundant. Fortunately, the dragon meat was kept, otherwise it would have been a waste of such a good thing. And the five dragon skin clothes, which they hadn't put on yet, but had let Reading put them on first.
After eating the dragon meat and putting on the dragon skin clothes, Reading really looked like a young man in his twenties and thirties. And now, his mind is more delicate.
"Ma'am, I don't think there's anything you can do to improve the hatred between you. I don't know why she hates you so much, but I think it has something to do with your race. And such a thingγγγγγγ β
Reading didn't continue, for he was startled by the bloodshot eyes when he inadvertently saw the eyes of the lady sighing. But unexpectedly, Lady Sigh did not warn Reading as before, but laughed bitterly, "Do you know why she hates me? β
Finally, this time, Ms. Light sighed did not hide the truth about herself as before, but told these people one by one. It is not known why this was done.
But I have to say that after Lady Sigh told them about her relationship with the elves, her heart suddenly relaxed a lot. Like Hill, Lady Sigh's heart was like a whole mountain. If she had the chance, she would love to tell Ciel that she regretted the decision she had made, and that she would love to save the Elven world with Ciel. But at that time, Lady Sigh had no idea what was going on with the elven tribe, and she had always thought that joining the undead was the right choice. But it wasn't until she re-entered the human world not long ago that she realized she was wrong. But now it's too late.
"I know, it's something that's hard to change. The lady sighed and glanced at the people around her, her eyes flashing with a slight sparkle: "But now everything doesn't matter." Now what I'm going to do is, let you, Reading, find what you're looking for. If I have the chance, I will atone for my sins. β
