Am I dead?—Vane opened his eyes and rose from the ground, but there was darkness around him. He tried to move, but strangely enough, his body was intact and he didn't feel any discomfort.

"Vane!" a voice sounded in his ears, startling him, it turned out to be Felder's voice. He looked around, and it was still pitch black.

"Don't worry, you'll see it right away. It was Elena's voice.

Soon, a vague figure appeared in the darkness, and the figure gradually became clear, it was none other than the companions of the black ghost.

"We're back here again?" Vane's eyes widened and he turned to look. It was still absolutely dark all around, but they could see very clearly between the few people. How could it be, the scene in the snowstorm just now was still vivid, and even the cold feeling was so real that even the most powerful magic could not do it.

"Yes, we've just woken up. It's really unpredictable. Elena also frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.

"So how do we get out of here? There don't seem to be taverns or inns here. Felder touched his head, looking sad.

At this moment, a slight buzzing sound sounded, and a little elf girl who looked to be eleven or twelve years old appeared out of thin air in front of everyone. She was wearing a long white dress, fair skin, pointed ears, and long pale yellow hair with hairpins pinned to it, looking like a little angel. It's just that it gives people an indescribable feeling, and I always feel that something is weird.

The little elf girl said, "You may have a lot of questions, who am I, what is this place, why are you here. Her voice was crisp and a little immature, and the lingua franca was so standard, I don't know how much better than the elves before.

The situation in front of them was too weird, and everyone subconsciously took two steps back, looking at the little elf girl with some vigilance.

"You don't have to be nervous, I'm Night Sky III, you can call me Night. It was your presence that woke me up. Xiao Ye saw the confusion in everyone's eyes, and sighed softly, as if sorry and happy.

She paused for a moment and continued, "The place where you are now is the Salantoburu Combined Advance Force Base, which should be said to have been. Most of the base had been destroyed, and thanks to the protection of the top-level magic array, this central control room had been preserved. ”

"What about the woman who sent us to Salento? let her out, she almost killed us!no, how did she come back here when she was dead......" Felder was confused.

Xiao Ye covered her mouth and smiled: "We are all virtual systems created by Elf Technology, she doesn't have virtual holograms, and she can't talk to you like me." But she can create any virtual world or even a creature, just like what you experienced in the city of Salento. ”

"So you're not really an elf?" Although it was a little difficult to understand, Elena still understood it somewhat. The reason why Xiao Ye looks a little strange is that it turns out to be just an image.

It is possible to create virtual worlds and lives, and an image is so realistic, is this the technology of the ancient elves, which has reached an unbelievable level. Everyone was secretly frightened.

"That's right, you can think of me as a virtual being. This may be a little difficult for you to understand, but that's okay, the rest of you are even more incomprehensible. Sayo seemed to be amused by herself, and she covered her mouth and laughed again.

As soon as the words fell, the surroundings of everyone were no longer empty darkness, but became incomparably deep, and the distant depths were full of stars, and everyone seemed to be in the vast starry sky. At his feet was a silver band of light two or three meters wide, winding forward with no end in sight, and countless beams of light galloped past it.

"Is this ......?" Although Vane and the others were mentally prepared, they were still shocked by what they saw.

Light and shadow kept flashing on Xiao Ye's white dress, and she smiled: "That's right, this is the starry sky you see every day, but it is also virtualized with full sense technology." Here you can find the answers you are looking for. With that, she turned and walked forward.

The band of light seemed to be made up of many square areas, and with every few steps Saya took, the square area under her feet glowed yellow, and a string of numbers appeared in the air next to her. 2103，2104，2105......

"What are these numbers?" Felder asked curiously.

"The road under your feet is called the River of Time, and these numbers are the Elven years. ”

"But how many years before the Age of Magic was 2110 in the Elven Era?" asked Elena, looking at the numbers hanging in the air.

"Age of Magic? I'm sorry, I don't know. Saya shook her head.

After a brief thought, Vane said, "It's the year 314 of the Age of Magic. According to the elven calendar introduced in the book "A Brief History of the Elves", the year 2110 of the Elven Era should be 1848 BC. ”

"I didn't expect it to be so long. Xiao Ye sighed, a hint of loneliness flashed in her eyes, turned around and continued to walk forward, and the "2110" next to her had become "-1848".

"According to the human calendar, about four thousand years before the Age of Magic, the elven civilization had already begun. Xiao Ye said as she walked. "Our world has an ancient name - Loraiya, from the ancient elven language, when the continent of Lafrey had not yet been discovered, and Roraiyah still referred to the continent of Akanster. ”

"There used to be many races on the continent of Akanther, elves, humans, goblins, lizardmen...... Among them, the elves are the strongest. The Ancient Elves have a total of four kingdoms and several tribes, with the Kingdom of Kanas in the north, the Kingdom of Apar in the south, and Salento and Blue in the middle of the continent. ”

The history of the elves is documented in numerous human books, but there are many editions and very different contents. The crowd quietly followed behind Xiao Ye, and they were soon attracted by the long and mysterious history.

"Kanas and Apar are relatively conservative, worshipping the goddess of nature, Zenia, and insisting on traditional nature magic, believing that they can live peacefully with alien beasts. But apparently the beasts don't think so, and they keep harassing the elves. ”

"Salento and Bru are closer together and more open in terms of receptivity to knowledge. They combine magic and mechanics to successfully fight off alien beasts and grow in strength. Ignoring the plight of their northern and southern counterparts, they symbolically sent some marginal troops to assist. ”

"Over the next two hundred years, Salento and Bru formed an alliance, and their populations and territories expanded, developing magic and technology at an astonishing rate, and of course more so. At the beginning of the 19th century BCE, with the advent of steam-powered machinery, science was pushed to a position that even traditional magic could not match. ”

"In 1812 BCE, the elite forces of the two countries formed a joint advance force and entered the continent of Lafrey with the help of large steam machinery. ”

At this time, Xiao Ye stopped, and the number next to it showed "-1326". She turned around, looked lonely, and said in a low voice: "Unexpectedly, this operation is the beginning of a nightmare......
