Chapter 91: Arnold's Past
"God?"
Erin was stunned for a moment, he never seemed to have thought about this question, their elves had believed in the moon god for generations, and they had never questioned their beliefs.
But at this moment, Mars, this human being, asked such a blasphemous question, but he could not seem to refute it, for no one had ever really seen a god except for the miracles that appeared in the legends recorded in the teachings.
And Erin is absolutely loyal to her beliefs, and he can only say apprehensively: "There should be!"
With such a pale answer, Mars just smiled slightly, and said, "Then Erin, do you know what the rank above the Holy Rank is when a magician cultivates? I have consulted a lot of classics, but none of them say what is above the Holy Order, is it that we can't reach it at all, or is it not above the Holy Rank at all?"
Erin didn't expect this human to ask this question at this time, he said angrily: "Hurry up, if you don't leave, the fallen elves are coming!"
After that, he ignored Mars's depressed expression and walked directly towards the underground passage on the side of the statue with the four elves.
Mars shook his head slightly, it seemed that if he wanted to know about the Holy Order, he had to have the opportunity to ask the Great Elder, or when he reached the Holy Rank Magician, maybe Qiuqiu would be able to unlock the relevant content.
No longer hesitating, Mars and the cook immediately followed, he felt that it was nothing for the cook to follow, and under the threat of death, everyone would try to survive.
The secret passage under the Moon Temple.
The intricate passages are like a labyrinth, forming the vast underground chamber system of the Moon Temple, which is divided into three floors and played an extremely important role in the former Moon Temple.
As she walked forward, Irene explained to Mars, the human, "Almost all of the Luna Temple's basements are divided into three floors, the first basement is a storage warehouse, the second basement is the study room of the priests, and the third basement is said to be a cage, where heretics or blasphemers are kept. ”
Mars was once oppressed by the priests of Angela's Mother God Cult, and studied these temples, and it can be said that the Mother God Cult, which is very bright on the surface, has an unknown evil side in secret, not to mention the public execution of magicians, and also regularly arrests some civilians for various crimes, and is imprisoned in the dungeon on the charge of blasphemer, and conducts all kinds of inhumane experiments.
And Mars called this kind of experiment a "living experiment", and anyone who entered the dungeon of the Mother Goddess had no chance to get out.
This is also the reason why Mars was extremely panicked after meeting Toby the Blue Dove after awakening his magic, and he would not be captured by the Inquisitor Knight of the Mother God Cult even if he died.
Now, when he really came to the underground chamber system of the former Moon Temple, Mars had a new understanding in his heart.
Of course, he was thinking about how to use such a complex underground passage to hide himself from the fallen elves.
Mars held a magic lamp and illuminated the passage, which looked a little dry, the walls were all made of masonry, and there were all kinds of blurred murals on them, but the former glory of the place could be vaguely seen, and the ground, sprinkled with all kinds of broken things, there were books, there were rotten tables and chairs, and rotten bones, all of which were covered with thick dust.
Nothing can be destroyed by time, even if it is a dead thing, as time passes, everything becomes decaying, and eventually turns to dust.
With a "click", Mars stepped on a skull, and he was shocked, and then asked, "Erin, what happened to Arnold back then, and how did it become a ruin......?" Tell me?"
Erin paused slightly, he looked at the dim passage through the dim light, sighed lightly, and then said: "Actually, this is not a secret in Moonlight City, just because the Elf King once issued a strict order to prohibit discussion among elves, and also told the human race, werewolf race, dwarf race, etc. not to write Arnold into history, so you can't know." ”
"I see, I'm still wondering, the main city of your elves is Moonlight City, and Arnold is the former main city of the elves, but I have made up for the history of other races except the human race, but I have never found this information. Mars said suddenly.
The other four elves cast a disdainful look at Mars behind them, as if to say, how old are you, what can you know?
But Erin didn't seem to get bored with the human, and continued as he led the way, "About three hundred years ago......"
Three hundred years ago, Arnold.
As a holy place of magic, Arnold has a unique natural advantage, this is not only the main city of the elves, but also the magic of the world of Barlov, every elf is proud of Arnold, and every magician takes joining the Arnold Court as the ultimate ideal.
According to incomplete statistics, when Arnold was at its peak, there were about 200 million people, half of whom came from various races, of which there were as many as 50 million magicians!
When the elven king Kyle Landi was about to enter old age, his young queen gave birth to a pair of twin brothers, the elder brother Marthro and the younger brother Hoddle, this pair of twin brothers showed amazing magical talents from an early age, and when they became adults, they broke through the shackles of magicians and promoted to the holy rank of magicians, and the entire Arnold people called the names of Marthro and Hoddle every day, they were the pride of Arnold, and they were also the objects of worship of all young magicians.
However, the elven king Kyle Landi is already old, after all, he is not a saint-level magician, but only a high-level magician, although his lifespan is much longer than that of humans, but he indulges in alcohol all year round, and his lifespan is greatly shortened, so he decided to pass the throne to his eldest son Matherrow, who is deeply supported by his ministers, but he did not treat his second son Hoddle badly.
Kyle Landi handed over the control of the court magician to the popular Hoddle, which was also to counterbalance Mathero, and at first Hoddle was not dissatisfied, and he put all his energy into the palace magic secret book.
In a dusty secret room, Hoddle opens an ancient book describing strange magic, in which Hoddle sees a different kind of magic, which is not only powerful, but also extremely easy to cultivate, but requires the soul or blood or life of others.
Hoddle's experiments with magic were uncontrollable, and he not only secretly experimented with living people, but also recruited followers, taught them this magic, and proclaimed himself the King of the Dark Elves.
Later, this magic became known as dark magic!
When the Elven King Kyle Landi died and Matherrow succeeded to the throne, he wanted to take back control of the court magician, who symbolized the power of the Elven King, only to find that his younger brother Hoddle had become uncontrollable, and the magic he used was extremely bloody and powerful.
The war soon spread throughout Arnold, a decade-long war between the light elves, a symbol of kingship, and the fallen elves, who had cultivated dark magic.
In the end, the elven king Matherrow relied on the help of the allies of the Terrans, werewolves, and dwarves to exterminate almost all the fallen elves, but Arnold was destroyed.
The elves rebuilt the main city, named Moonlight City, which means that the city shrouded in the light of the moon god will never be invaded by darkness!
