Ovilia takes Li Qing and Wendy to a colorful house in the shape of flowers and bones.

The house is small, and from the outside, the space inside will never exceed twenty square meters.

But when Li Qing and Wendy entered with Ovilea, they found that the space inside was unexpectedly vast.

The first thing that catches your eye is a hall that is visually measured to be hundreds of square meters. The floor of the hall is actually natural turf, and the walls are covered with rattan. The vine is covered with young emerald leaves, which are dotted with star-like blue flowers.

The furniture in the room is even more bizarre, both tables and chairs grow from the ground.

The table is a strange mushroom with a stout stem and a flat canopy. The chairs are either smaller mushrooms or made of vines. Li Qing also saw a bench, which was made of a plant shaped like bamboo.

In short, this room is full of natural atmosphere, although it looks weird, but it does not feel uncomfortable, but it feels fresh and comfortable.

"You may be seated." Ovilia beckoned Li Qing and Wendy to sit down. Li Qing looked left and right, and sat down on a mushroom stool, feeling soft and bouncy, the same as sitting on the sofa.

After Wendy sat down next to Li Qing, Ovilia brought tea and snacks for the two.

After entertaining the two of them with some refreshments, Ovilia smiled and said, "Two guests, can you tell me how you came to Sanssouci Valley?" ”

Li Qing and Wendy glanced at each other, thought about it, and decided to tell the truth.

"That's right, we were originally looking for a relic of an ancient magician......" After a rough description of the adventure, Li Qing spread his hands and said helplessly: "In order to avoid that terrible giant puppet, Wendy and I had to go into the stone cave on the cliff wall, and when we went deep into the end, we saw an altar located in the underground stone cave. But we didn't touch the altar, we didn't even get close, the altar started automatically, and then somehow we were teleported here. ”

After listening to Li Qing's explanation, Ovilia was thoughtful.

She was silent for a long time before she muttered, "It turns out that the outside of Sanssouci Valley is like that, no wonder no outsiders have come in for tens of thousands of years......"

Li Qing was taken aback: "What? Tens of thousands of years? ”

Wendy also stared at her in shock: "I heard you right, right?" Miss Ovilia, you said that Sanssouci Valley has been stored for tens of thousands of years? ”

"Yes, Sanssouci Valley has been stored for tens of thousands of years." Ovilia nodded slightly, "More than forty-three thousand years, to be exact." ”

"This ...... How is this possible? Wendy muttered to herself: "Sanssouci Valley has existed for more than 43,000 years? No outsiders have come in for more than 43,000 years? You've been isolated for so long? Wait, more than 43,000 years...... According to the general history of the continent, the Elven Empire, which once ruled the entire continent, collapsed more than 43,000 years ago! Do you ...... Migrated to Sanssouci Valley when the Elven Empire collapsed? ”

The elves have established an extremely glorious civilization on the continent, ruling almost the entire continent. During the reign of elves, humans, orcs and other intelligent races had just begun their social civilization. In the eyes of the elves in the era of the Elven Empire, the intelligent races such as humans who occupy the mainstream of the continent are as ignorant and backward as primitive people in the eyes of modern people.

However, the mighty Elven Empire collapsed 43,000 years ago, and in a short period of time, lost 80% of its population.

Among them, the two high-ranking elf races of gold elves and silver elves have lost nearly ninety percent of their population.

After more than 10,000 years, the gold elves and silver elves were completely extinct on the continent. The remaining elven races such as the Wood Elves and the Night Elves, which have a large population, have never established a decent elven kingdom.

It is precisely because of the collapse of the elven empire and the large-scale extinction of the elven population that humans and other intelligent races have room to rise.

In particular, human beings, with their strong reproductive ability, wisdom and learning ability that are not inferior to those of elves, and their enterprising spirit and desire far beyond those of elves, have replaced the former dominance of elves and become the most powerful intelligent race on the continent after more than 30,000 years of development and growth.

Today, the richest land on the continent is occupied by humans. Intelligent races such as orcs, dwarves, gnomes, and elves can only reproduce silently in remote areas that humans can't see, or in the underground world, or in the deep mountains and old forests.

As for the reason for the collapse of the elven empire overnight, there are different opinions.

Some say that the ruling class of the Elven Empire was arrogant, angered the gods, and was cursed by the gods. Some say that the elves abused magic, causing a magic backlash. It is also said that the Elven Empire made a mistake when holding a large-scale magic ceremony and summoned the demon legions of the different planes. Others say that an extraterrestrial star fell, causing a great collision between heaven and earth, causing the extinction of species......

In short, there are all kinds of things, but no one knows the real reason. There is also no record in the general history of the continent of mankind - when the Elven Empire collapsed, human beings were still primitive people who knotted ropes, and there was no real writing, so it was impossible to record the situation at that time. The rest of the intelligent races are slightly inferior to humans.

Even the elves on the continent today don't know what happened more than 43,000 years ago - now, only the two major races of wood elves and night elves are left on the continent. And these two elven races, in the era of the elven empire, were both common people, and it was difficult for them to participate in the core affairs of the empire dominated by the golden elves and silver elves.

The very few Wood Elves and Night Elves who were able to enter the core of the empire also died as soon as the Elven Empire collapsed. You know, when the Elven Empire collapsed, the capital city of the empire was completely destroyed overnight. All the elves in the city were killed, and none of them were spared.

Outside of the capital, all the large cities of the Elven Empire were destroyed almost at the same time. Even medium-sized cities did not survive. Only small tribes and small villages scattered in remote areas have survived in large numbers.

This is also the reason why the High Elves have lost ninety percent of the population, while the common elves have survived twenty percent of the population - most of the High Elves live in cities, and only the common elves will live in small tribes and small villages in remote areas.

The common elves in the remote area had a hard time knowing the secret of the collapse of the elven empire. Coupled with the passage of more than 40,000 years, a small amount of information has long been submerged by time. To this day, why the Elven Empire collapsed has become a secret that no one knows, and it can only be guessed by today's people.

But now, the secrets of the Elven Empire's period seem to have the hope of being revealed—Sanssouci Valley has existed for more than 43,000 years, which coincides with the time of the collapse and destruction of the Elven Empire. If the elves of Sanssouci Valley really moved in before the collapse of the Elven Empire, then the elves of Sanssouci Valley, who stored the two high elves of the Golden Elves and the Silver Elves, may know the secret of the collapse of the Elven Empire!

What's more......

You might even be able to get the knowledge of elven magic during the Elven Empire!

You must know that the magical knowledge of human society on the continent today has grown up on the magical legacy left behind after the collapse of the Elven Empire.

Although in the process of developing magic, human beings have learned from dragons and even demons, celestial creatures, elemental creatures and many other alien races, and there are a large number of human genius mages who have created many new magic genealogies on their own.

For Wendy, a standard mage, if she can obtain the magical knowledge of her grandfather, then her adventure can really be regarded as a great adventure of the legendary level.

Therefore, after asking the question, Wendy looked at Ovilia with bright eyes, her eyes full of longing and anticipation.

Facing Wendy's expectant eyes, Ovilia smiled and said, "That's right, the elves of Sanssouci Valley migrated in to escape the war when the elven empire collapsed more than forty-three thousand years ago. After migrating into Sanssouci Valley, the elves in the valley were isolated from the world, and no elves ever went out to the outside world, and no one from the outside world ever came in. ”

Receiving an affirmative answer, Wendy's pretty face was full of joy. She leaned forward, looked at Ovilia excitedly, and said, "So, Miss Ovilia must know the reason for the fall of the Elven Empire, right?" ”

Ovilia's expression darkened, and she sighed softly and said, "Yes, I know. ”

"So ......"

"I'm sorry, I can't sue you." Ovilia shook her head and interrupted Wendy's words: "Not a single adult elf in Sanssouci Valley will tell you the reason for the collapse and destruction of the Ancient Elven Empire. ”

Hearing her say this, Wendy knows that there is definitely a big secret hidden here.

However, the secret of tens of thousands of years ago is not a big deal for Wendy - no matter how earth-shattering the big secret is, it is outdated news from more than 40,000 years ago, and since people don't want to talk about it, she has nothing to be disappointed about.

In Wendy's opinion, compared to the secrets that are tens of thousands of years old, the magical knowledge of the ancient elves is really worth exploring.

So Wendy immediately changed the subject: "Miss Ovilia, as you can see, I am a magician. My adventure was also in search of ancient magical relics. Since the elves in Sanssouci Valley moved into the valley before the collapse of the Elven Empire, then Sanssouci Valley must have retained the magical knowledge of the Elven Empire, right? I wonder if I have the privilege of learning about the magic of ancient elves from some respected elven mage? ”

Ovilia apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Wendy, but we can't accommodate your request. ”

Without waiting for Wendy to speak, she continued, "It's not that we're reluctant to leak our magical knowledge. Sanssouci Valley is isolated from the world, and there are no disputes, and if you really have magical knowledge, no one will mind teaching you. But the problem is that in the Valley of Sanssouci, there is no knowledge of magic. ”

Wendy Daqi: "No knowledge of magic? How is this possible? ”

Olylia sighed again, and said quietly, "Because Sanssouci Valley is just an illusion. ”
