Chapter 65: The Assembly of the Five Tribes
"The Golden Palm Tree was once known as the 'verdict of history', but now there are few people in the entire continent who still know this title." On the second day after learning of what happened to Al, after finishing his daily martial arts training with the Elf King, and when he asked about the extermination of the Golden Palm Tree, the Elf King said this to Fei Yaran.
"What is the 'verdict of history'?" This kind of title, which sounded like a decisive taste, made Fei Yaran couldn't help frowning.
"You may not have noticed the leaves of the golden palm tree. The leaves of the golden palm tree, after falling off naturally, have a tough texture, and are invulnerable to water and fire, and the pigment made of its resin is smeared on the leaves of the golden palm tree, which can forever maintain the appearance of the original writing and painting, and will not be erased by the passage of time, so the leaves of the golden palm tree were once used by many races as a collection and a material for recording important events in the kingdom and writing historical documents. ”
"So, didn't the Golden Palm Clan choose seclusion from the beginning?" This was not at all in line with the living conditions of the Golden Palm Tree Clan that Fei Yaran had heard from Ar's mouth.
Hearing this, the Elf King rubbed Fei Yaran's hair, and then continued: "Yes, the Golden Palm Tree Clan originally lived in many places on the continent like other goblins. But later, when more and more people discovered that only the most authentic records could be written on the leaves of the golden palm tree, the situation of the golden palm tree family changed dramatically. ”
The Elven King's words made Fei Yaran stunned.
Can only write the most authentic records?
If he understands correctly, does Mr. Anse mean that on the leaves of the golden palm tree, only the truth can be written, not false?
Thinking of this, he suspiciously took out a piece of paper made of yellowish golden palm tree leaves from his package.
In fact, most of the paper used by Xiao Fei Yaran to practice calligraphy is this kind of flexible paper with a slight yellowish, and the ink dipped in the quill pen is also all taken from the library, so Fei Yaran never thought that the cabinets in the original library were full of papers, and they were all genuine golden palm leaves.
But having said that, after writing on this kind of paper for ten years, he didn't even discover this secret, and Fei Yaran simply praised his honesty countless times for a while.
In order to personally verify whether the leaves of the Golden Palm Tree are really as magical as Mr. Ans said, Fei Yaran only thought about it for a moment after taking out the leaves of the Golden Palm Tree, a quill, and ink, and wrote on it - [The teacher of the Jade is Anse El. 】
The delicate and elegant elven text was completed with a stroke of the quill, and Fei Yaran looked at the dark green font on the pale yellow paper, and his eyebrows and eyes bent unconsciously.
The Elf King drank his tea slowly, and his eyebrows and eyes gently looked at Fei Yaran, who was lying on the desk not far away.
After writing the "truth", Fei Yaran began to write "lies" again.
[I am not a student of Ansel. 】
Because he believed in the Elf King's words in his heart, Fei Yaran deliberately slowed down when he wrote this sentence, wondering if when writing wrong or false words, the handwriting would be stored first and then disappeared, or if he could not even write at all.
Then, the line was much heavier than before, and the dark green font became more and more intense, so firmly in the center of the golden palm leaf, and the distance from the previous sentence was only half a finger's distance.
But it shows no signs of disappearing.
The smile on Fei Yaran's face suddenly froze.
Fei Yaran had never doubted the Elf King's words, and there was no need for the Elf King to lie to him, so under the pressure of the uneasiness in his heart, Fei Yaran raised his head and asked the Elf King sitting at the tea table, "Teacher Anse, if the words written are fake, how long will it take for the handwriting to disappear?" ”
When the Elf King heard this, he subconsciously looked at the piece of paper on which Fei Yaran had written before.
Fei Yaran somehow, but somehow, suddenly picked up the piece of paper from the desk, turned his back to the Elf King, and showed a sly smile to the Elf King, showing with practical actions that the words on the paper were his little secret, and he didn't want the Elf King to know.
Epheiaran's understanding of the Elven King, in his teacher, there would never be such a thing as curiosity, and he would never be difficult to force others.
In the past ten years, the Elven King has almost never ordered Fei Yaran, or violated his wishes.
In a certain sense, the Elf King is actually very gentlemanly.
Sure enough, after discovering Fei Yaran's meaning, the Elf King immediately withdrew his gaze, no longer paying attention to the piece of paper, and replied gently: "If it is false content, it will disappear immediately after it is written." ”
At that moment, Fei Yaran suddenly felt that his hands and feet were cold.
He pursed his lips, but he had some doubts about the authenticity of the Elf King's words in his heart.
But at the same time, the experience of living with the Elf King in the past ten years has made him have a kind of blind obedience to the words of the Elf King in the face of absolute authority.
These two extremely contradictory ideas made him feel a little anxious.
Looking down at the words that had been left on the leaves of the golden palm tree again, Fei Yaran finally found that the two sentences were different in addition to the relationship between "whether or not".
That's the words "jade" and "me".
A vague thought quickly flashed in his heart, so fast that Fei Yaran didn't even catch a shadow.
The cold fingertips rubbed the quill, and Fei Yaran picked up the pen again and wrote a line under these two sentences - Jade is not a student of Anse El .
The dark green ethereal elven language appeared like a cloud on the golden palm leaves, and then, suddenly, like an epiphany at midnight, instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated over the paper.
Fei Yaran was stunned, couldn't help but rub his eyes, after realizing that this was indeed not an illusion, the heart that had been carrying it since just now finally fell back to reality.
Fortunately, fortunately, this time it was proved that the sentence was indeed false.
With a sigh of relief in his heart, Fei Yaran raised his head and showed a relaxed smile to the Elf King who was looking at him, "It's amazing that if you write a lie, it will really disappear." ”
After saying this, Fei Yaran's fingers that had been holding the piece of paper tightly couldn't help but let go, and his eyes frowned invisibly when he fell to the second sentence on the paper, and then he seemed to inadvertently stuff the paper into the storage bag on his waist, and he couldn't see the slightest abnormality on his face, but his heart was not calm.
The second sentence that did not disappear inexplicably made Fei Yaran feel uneasy.
But now is not the time to delve into this matter, because the soul itself is not a native of this world, so Fei Yaran can't figure out for a while what the reason for this matter is, but this matter involves his biggest secret, and it is impossible to ask the Elf King for advice, so Fei Yaran can only keep this question strictly in his heart, and he can't show anything in front of the Elf King.
After verifying that the leaves of the golden palm tree indeed had this true effect of "lie detection", thinking of what Al said about the fact that their clan had been living in seclusion, Fei Yaran immediately questioned the Elven King.
The Elven King was not surprised by this question, "Since the characteristics of the Golden Palm Tree have been discovered, it is natural that the elite will use it. The king would command his courtiers to write about their lives, men to write about their loyalty, and adults to tell their children to write about whether they had been deceived or not. At the same time, there are also many ethnic groups who have switched to using golden palm leaves to make their history books to show the authenticity of the history they record. ”
"So, for a long time after discovering the effectiveness of the leaves of the golden palm tree, the leaves of the golden palm tree were in short supply."
"Only the leaves of the golden palm tree that fall off naturally have such an effect. But many people don't think so, and there are even many people who take advantage of this and use the golden palm leaves that have not yet grown to deceive others in order to deceive others. ”
"And the other creatures who had been living in peace with the Golden Palm Tree Elves gradually began to find ways to abduct and detain the Golden Palm Tree Elves so that they could keep making more leaves."
The words of the elven king made Fei Yaran think of the animals that were once on the earth and were reprimanded and kept in captivity because of the needs of human beings.
From birth to death, the meaning of survival of those animals is to provide human beings with flesh and bones, fur, and blood.
In the eyes of human beings, they are all emotionless lower beings, so they are at ease to take what they want, and as a member of the human race, Fei Yaran has never felt that there is anything wrong with that.
But if those animals were replaced by goblins with thoughts and feelings, and even their appearance was not much different from that of humans, Fei Yaran felt that most humans would not be able to do such a thing.
However, from Mr. Anse's words, he could clearly hear that the situation of the Golden Palm Tree Fairies at that time was obviously no different from that of livestock, and they were all hunted and kept in captivity.
He suddenly thought of the cruel and greedy dragons who slaughtered the entire Golden Palm Kingdom just out of interest, and once again realized how different this world was from the earth he once lived.
"The elves are weak, but they are never spineless, and they do not accept any threats. If you are cornered, the power that bursts out will often exceed everyone's imagination. ”
"After discovering that there was almost no place on the continent where the Golden Palm Tree could stay, the king of the Golden Palm Tree gathered the remaining people to find a place that was inaccessible and opened up a paradise for his people that could not be detected and known by others at the cost of his life. Since then, the Golden Palm Tree Elves have lived there for generations, and no one has been able to find them. ”
Hearing this, Fei Yaran finally couldn't help but ask, "Since it is so secret, how could it suddenly be discovered by the dragon clan?" ”
This is the question that Fei Yaran has had since he heard Al say that the Golden Palm Tree Clan has been living in seclusion in many barriers.
It's just that Al's love was too low at that time, and Fei Yaran naturally didn't want to ask him directly, so he held back until today and asked questions about the Elf King.
"The enchantment obtained by the Golden Palm King's sacrifice of his life, although not to be underestimated, cannot be hidden from everyone's eyes. For the powerful races, if you really put your heart into finding them, you may not be able to find them. ”
In other words, this absolute suppression of power is the fundamental reason why the Golden Palm Tree Clan was discovered by the Dragon Clan, and even exterminated.
Thinking of this, Fei Yaran's heart suddenly sank.
He suddenly thought of his mission.
When he heard from Cang Lan that magic was now regarded as evil and forbidden on the mainland, and if it was discovered, it would even be punished with capital punishment, Fei Yaran had already understood that since he accepted the task issued by the system ten years ago, he had already stood firmly on the opposite side of the entire Heavenly Clan without realizing it.
And the matter of helping the human race gain power, for him, as an elf, is another thing that must be kept secret even for the elf race-
After all, with the reserved and proud nature of the elves, who don't even care about the Celestial Dragon Clan, they will take the initiative to help the Terrans, which is absolutely impossible and inconceivable.
Even Mr. Anse, in this matter, Fei Yaran did not think that he could get his permission and understanding at all.
Therefore, when he might face the entire Celestial Clan in the future, Fei Yaran was only alone.
This is an absolutely impossible task in anyone's opinion.
Fei Yaran never thought of giving up, and of course, the system never allowed him to give up - the clear word "obliteration" on the mission failure punishment has always been a sharp blade hanging over Fei Yaran's head, even in the dead of night, Fei Yaran did not forget its existence for a moment.
Therefore, from now on, Fei Yaran will do his best to win over all the forces that can be won over and may stand on the opposite side of the Celestial Clan.
As for the other tiny tiredness and sadness, they are not worth mentioning compared to life and going home.
After finishing the day's study at the Elf King, Fei Yaran informed Cang Lan in a secret chat that he would meet somewhere, and then galloped towards the agreed place.
