Chapter 186: The Flood Era, the Five Great Heroic Spirits and the Elven Race
"Crook is also Croso's daughter, or did she grow up with Croso?" Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"That's right. Not only is the lifespan of our elves very long, but also there are few children, and it is normal to have no offspring. Otherwise, if we have the ability to reproduce like the orcs, or even only the growth rate of your human population. I think the entire continent should have been occupied by our elves a long time ago.
General Krosso belongs to the elven clan who has no descendants, and the reason is not because of the general's physical problems. It's that the general is not interested in women at all, and after becoming an elder, he can't get married and have children.
But this does not mean that the general does not need an heir. As a result, in the orphanage, the general found that Sister Croix and Sister Croixun were quite qualified, so he adopted them as righteous daughters.
There is another obvious difference between us elves and other races. That is, there is a smaller gap between men and women in terms of physical strength. Women's comprehension of spells is generally stronger than that of men. Of course I don't count.
The average height of our elves is a head taller than you humans. Therefore, the women of the elven clan can generally become excellent magicians. Men generally make good marksmen.
The elves like to use bows and arrows, not because they are not as strong as you humans, but because the population is growing slowly, and the soldiers cannot be replenished after casualties, so they choose the battle mode of long-range attack, - fight if you win, run if you can't win, and avoid casualties as much as possible.
As a result, in addition to spells, archery has gradually become a traditional skill passed down from generation to generation by the elves. Learning hand-to-hand combat techniques such as swords has never been popular among the elves..."Noyachenko continued to hold his head high and uttered a lot of words in every detail.
"All passers-by know about these things about the elves. It's not something I'm asking you about, is it?" Shadow finally couldn't hold back, interjecting to interrupt Noyachenko's gushing speech.
"You're asking about Sister Croix. Sister Croix is also an elf. So I say the situation, of course, has to do with your question. Excuse me, do you think I haven't answered in enough detail?" Noyachenko asked rhetorically, lowering his head and staring at eye level.
"No, it's detailed enough. Thank you very much for your answers. Shadow replied with a smile.
"Aren't we friends already?
As he spoke, Shadow and Noyachenko walked to the entrance to a temple. The outer walls of the temple were made of smooth turquoise stones, a lost technique, and fixed in oak wood in another lost way.
I saw that emerald green vines of different thicknesses and shades of color continued to stretch along the gaps between the outer walls and marble tiles of the temple. Creeper-like leaves growing from vine branches cover the entire fence tightly.
Delicate and delicate flowers dotted the green walls of the temple. Oak trees stand at the top of the wall, shielding them from the sun.
Through the vines on the outer walls of the temple, the oak tree has its roots deeply rooted in the soil and absorbed the nutrients. Because it is like a sacred tree, the branches and leaves will never wither. Therefore, the wall will always maintain a green scene.
At present, only the oak tree that grows on the outer wall of this temple is truly ancient. The other oak trees are various subspecies, or modified grafted varieties. In ancient times, the wood of the oak tree was called the oak tree, which has extremely high toughness and hardness, light weight and thousands of years of rot.
The armor worn by Krosso and the hull of the Wave Shuttle, the Elven Captain of Madness, Bug, were made of this oak wood.
"This temple is the most famous monument in Galia. Legend has it that it is the place where the ancestors of the elves signed a contract with the five heroic spirits. Noyachenko introduced to the shadow.
"Can I go in and visit?" asked Shadow.
"Absolutely. This is the spirit of Xuanjin, the Glory of Glory, the invincible Holy Warrior. Noyachenko pointed to a statue standing at the entrance of the temple and the arch. The statue depicts a paladin wearing a heavily covered helmet and armor, holding a broad-bladed sword in front of him, with the blade of the sword plunged into the ground.
"This is the spirit of the Divine Tree, Cuiyi, the archer who can shoot the sun and the moon. Noyachenko followed, pointing to another statue close to Yaohuang. The statue shows an elven ranger dressed in a short shirt, wearing a feathered hat and holding a longbow, looking far ahead, drawing a bow and arrow, aiming and shooting.
"This is the spirit of holy water, the Celestial Glow, the Holy Maiden who illuminates all the gloom of the world. Noyachenko pointed to the third of the five statues, and the middle one introduced. The statue shows a human female mage wearing a mage's robes holding a magic book in her left hand and a staff in her right hand, the gem on the head of the staff emitting a thousand rays of light.
"This is the most powerful berserker ever created by the Spirit of Demonic Fire, Chi Yan. "Next to it is a muscular orc statue. He held a huge battle axe on his right shoulder, an axe in his right hand, and was wearing heavy armor, looking straight ahead with his head held high.
"This is the spirit of the earth, Mo Xiang, who created the people of heaven on the land with his own hands. "The last remaining statue shows a winged Terran woman with six pairs of wings on her back. She wore a mask and richly decorated Winged Clan robes, and held a large handful of dirt in her hands, which was dripping from her fingers.
"Five Great Heroes, why are only the archers among the five statues the image of your elves?"
"Legend has it that the Five Great Spirits are the gods who opened the world a long, long time ago and created the world today in the era of famine. Our Elven Race's belief in the Five Great Heroic Spirits is not divided into races. Noyachenko explained.
"Is it older than the Demon Slayer War?" asked Shadow.
"Of course. Legend has it that during the flood years, there was only an endless ocean and a dotted reef below the sky. With the exception of amphibians, the inhabitants of all races live in the celestial realm. The Elder Demon Lord created and controlled amphibian lizards that lived in the ocean and on the rocks, and evolved them into amphibians.
At that time, the amphibious people were very powerful, but they were also savage and blunt. As a result, the Ancient Demon Lord drove them to attack and attempt to destroy the Celestial Realm and seize the Celestial Realm's greatest treasure, the power of God. In order to save the Heavenly Realm from collapse, a hero has emerged from each race, known as the Five Great Heroes.
With the help of the power of the divine power, the treasure of the heavenly realm, the Five Great Spirits finally defeated the Ancient Demon Lord and freed the amphibious people from the slavery of the Ancient Demon Lord. In order to protect the peace of the world, the five heroic spirits incarnated as heroic spirits, forever guarding the surroundings of the power of the gods and preventing the covetousness of the ancient demon lords.
And parts of the Heavenly Realm still collapsed in the fierce battle. Mo Xiang, one of the Five Heroic Spirits, created a habitable land in the nether ocean for the people who had lost their homes. Back then, one of the ancestors of the elves was the leader who led a large number of people to settle in the nether.
Therefore, the five heroic spirits signed a contract with this ancestor and gave the elves a solemn and sacred mission, so that the elves have a high magical attainment, enjoy an extremely long life span, and be responsible for coordinating the affairs of various races and coexisting peacefully in the world. Noyachenko elaborated.
"As far as I know, the myths and legends that created heaven and earth are different for each race. "Shadow is very skeptical of the authenticity of this kind of mysterious storyline.
"According to the oral legend of our elves: after Mo Xiang created the earth, another great event happened. After the defeat, the Elder Demon Lord was not willing to accept defeat, and created two super terrifying races with strength far beyond the amphibians, giants and dragons.
Then, the Ancient Demon Lord took advantage of the contradictions and conflicts between the elves, humans, winged people, orcs, and amphibious races, and constantly provoked, divided, and disintegrated the trust between the various races from within. As a result, when the Elder Demon Lord led the Giants and Dragons to launch a large-scale attack on the entire world again.
Elves, humans, winged men, orcs, and amphibians have never been able to unite for their own selfish interests. There are no heroes who stand up and save the world. But just then, the Elder Demon Lord was on the verge of complete victory.
The ambitions of the two races, the giants and the dragons, are extremely inflated, and they have flagrantly betrayed their masters for their own selfish interests. Both the Giant King and the Dragon King want their race to defeat the Five Heroic Spirits alone and swallow the power of the gods alone.
But the Ancient Demon Lord was by no means easy to mess with, and created the three gods of destruction, and launched a protracted desperate battle with the giants and dragons, and finally almost wiped out the giants and dragons. Next, the Ancient Demon Lord and the Three Great Destruction Gods were divided into two factions, fighting to the death.
At this point, the battle situation finally ushered in a turning point. The allied forces of the various races took advantage of the opportunity of the Elder Demon Lord and the three major gods of destruction to fight each other, and finally defeated them in one fell swoop, drove away the ancient demon lord and the two gods of destruction, and captured one of the gods of destruction.
Then there was the war of demon extermination a thousand years ago. However, the war of exterminating demons is clearly recorded in the historical documents of various countries. Other legends can only be proved by the antiquities excavated by an archaeologist named Li Ming from various ancient sites in recent years, which have not been recorded and recognized by various countries. Noyachenko continued his exhaustive narrative.
In Noyachenko's words, although the Ancient Demon Lord has only failed four times. However, every time the world is destroyed to a certain extent, the power of the gods will cause the world to restart. In fact, the Elder Demon Lord has failed hundreds of times.
