Chapter 144: Daphne Island

Light and dark sea, free sea.

In the blue sea, there are 36 boulders that are as thin and steep as knives and rise straight into the sky, forming a huge circular Stonehenge. Inside the circular Stonehenge is a beautiful green island, Daphne Island.

Daphne Island is not the name of a single island, but rather a merger of nine islands, eight petal-shaped islands radiating towards a circular island in the center. Between the eight petal-shaped islands are a narrow strait, which are connected by numerous bridges. Viewed from above, the archipelago resembles a huge green Daphne flower, the Daphne Flower, with exactly eight petals. The name Daphne Island comes from not only because of the shape of the island like a Daphne flower, but also because of the Daphne flowers that are planted all over the island.

The Daphne flower is the family symbol of the flower spirit family. The island where the Queen of the Flower Spirits is located is Daphne Island.

The Flower Spirit Clan is petite, the appearance is no different from the Terran, but the body height is only about one foot, the whole body is silver, can fly, can naturally resist the mind reading skills of the Protoss, and the lifespan is similar to that of the Terran.

The number of flower spirit people is not very large, and in the past million years, the number of flower spirit people has remained at about four or five million. About 50 percent of the flower spirits live on Daphne Island. The rest are scattered on other islands in the Light and Dark Ocean or on the Seven Continents Continent.

In addition to being able to fly and resist mind-reading, the Flower Spirits are also skilled in making perfumes and wine, and are good at planting flowers and trees, and they have little combat ability. This makes it impossible for the Flower Spirits to pose a threat to other alien races, and it also makes the Flower Spirits popular on many alien islands. Many alien races like to hire flower spirits as winemakers, and foreign royalty also likes to hire flower spirits as perfumers and horticulturists. In the Seven Continents Continent, there are also some flower spirit clans that serve the god clan. Therefore, in order to chase more wealth, many people of the Flower Spirit Clan no longer live on Daphne Island.

The Flower Spirit Clan has been friendly with the Protoss for thousands of years and has been protected by the Protoss, and under normal circumstances, other alien races will not embarrass the Flower Spirit Clan. One of the major manifestations of the Protoss's protection of the Flower Spirit Clan is the stationing of three dukes on Daphne Island and the stationing of an army of 1,000 Blackiron Walkers.

Garrisoning an island as rich as Daphne Island is a fat poor, and the people of the Protoss are very willing. According to the decision of the Protoss Council, the people of the Protoss who are stationed at the level of dukes are stationed on Daphne Island, and the dukes are selected from the six Protoss clans in turn, and every hundred years is a stationing cycle. As for walkers, it is still an employment period of three years.

The few aliens who have made a covenant with the Protoss through the Divine Magic Code will be protected by the Protoss Walker army just like the Flower Spirits. However, most of these alien races are alien races like the Flower Spirit Clan that have no combat effectiveness or very weak combat effectiveness. As for those power-based aggressive alien races, such as the three-headed leg, the giant race, or those brave and combative alien races, such as werewolves, cat people, or alien races with strong resistance themselves, such as mermaids, Medusa, and goblins, they generally rarely form alliances with the Protoss, and even if they do, they do not want the Protoss' walker army to be stationed in their territory.

Daphne Island is the territory of the Flower Spirits, in addition to the Flower Spirits, there is another group of alien races that have lived on Daphne Island for a long time, and that is the Centaurs.

The Flower Spirits are small in size and generally prefer to live on tall Daphne trees, so a large area of land on Daphne Island, in addition to the land used for planting, is left to be arranged for the Centaurs to live, or to build palace buildings to receive the gods and aliens who participate in the Hundred Flowers Festival, as hostels for business travelers engaged in trade, and a small number of buildings are used as walker camps for Daphne Island walkers.

The upper body of the Centaur is like that of a human, with two arms in addition to the head of a humanoid, but the lower body is like a horse, with four hooves and a tail. Compared to the Terrans, the Centaurs are good at running and carrying weights, and have no other abilities. As for the lifespan, the lifespan of the Centaurs is not very long, about thirty years or so. For a long time, the Centaurs were reduced to servants of a foreign race, and their status was no different from that of the Terrans who were reduced to slaves.

Compared to the Terrans, the Centaurs have their own advantages, which are very useful to the Flower Spirits, and over time, the Flower Spirits gradually no longer use human slaves, but use the Centaurs. For millions of years, the Flower Spirits and Centaurs have lived together on Daphne Island.

After the oath of gods and demons reached between the Centaurs and the Centaurs: the Centaurs live in the designated area of the Centaurs on Daphne Island, and the Centaurs are exempt from their land rent, on the condition that every Centaur must provide labor for the Centaurs for twenty years when they reach adulthood. The first 10 years of servitude are offset against the rent, and the last 10 years of servitude are paid a proper remuneration. The life span of the Centaur is about 30 years, and the Centaur generally reaches adulthood around the age of five, which means that the Centaur spend two-thirds of their life in the provision of labor for the purpose of living, which is essentially selling themselves into slavery. As long as the Centaurs who live on Daphne Island must abide by this oath of gods and demons. But the Flower Spirits are kind and generous, and compared to other aliens, the Centaurs are glad to be able to live on Daphne Island.

There is a small area of sea between the natural stone henge on the outskirts of Daphne Island and Daphne Island. There are eighteen huge platforms that connect Stonehenge to Daphne Island.

Although the platform is a wooden platform, it is not made of wood, but is made of mangroves growing on the seabed. The mangroves rooted in the bottom of the shallow sea form a mangrove forest, but the stems on the main trunk are all bent and grow in parallel, and countless branches form a huge platform connecting Shimen and Daphne Island. The lush green leaves on the branches of the mangrove trees seem to have laid a green carpet on the platform.

It is said that the Flower Spirits once had an ability to communicate with plants and even control plants, but thousands of years ago, for some reason, the Flower Spirits lost this ability. Even so, on Daphne Island, it is said that the ancestors of the Flower Spirits left behind an extremely powerful god and monster, so that the Flower Spirits could make the trees on Daphne Island grow in the shape they wanted. And the stone henge is the limit of magic. Outside of the stone henge, magic no longer works.

The flower spirits are skilled in making perfumes and winemaking, and are good at planting flowers and trees, which has also made Daphne Island the largest liquor market, perfume market and flower market in the light and dark ocean. These eighteen platforms, on specific trading days, are places for trading, and they are very lively.

At this moment, in the mid-air above the platform, there was a silver flower spirit villain flying. And on the platform, there is a personal horse people shuttling.

Daphne Island's Hundred Flowers Festival will be grandly opened tonight, and in the past two days, the alien races invited by the flower spirit clan have come one after another. As for the people of the Protoss, they were naturally the last to come belatedly.
