Chapter 326: Elven Secret Text
At first, the Elven Queen didn't really take Edward's commission too seriously.
After all, the elven civilization once spread all over the world, and for a period of time, it notified a large area like humans today.
Even after the extinction of the High Elves, there were still many descendants of the High Elves who survived, including the Forest Elves.
To put it mildly, if you find a random place in the Eastern Continent and dig down, you may be able to dig up the antiques of the elves.
In her mind, eighty percent of the things in Edward's hands also belonged to this category.
But after a little closer inspection, she realized that she seemed to be mistaken.
"This is the secret text of the High Elves, and unlike all modern writings, this kind of writing itself has no function of recording information, it is purely created to simplify the ritual, and gives it a corresponding 'mysterious' product, which needs to be combined with a specific ritual to see the original content."
The Elven Queen explained to Edward, "The High Elves' system of magic is different from the current one, and they have made some kind of pact with the gods in exchange for 'mystery'. ”
"'Mysterious'? What is that? Dogan asked curiously.
"I don't know, it should be a reference for some special power, and the ancient books left by our clan call it 'mysterious'."
The Elven Queen replied: "These 'mysteries' are the conditions for the High Elves to cast their magical skills, because the 'mysteries' are equal, the more people who know, the less weight each person who can control the 'mysteries', so in general, the High Elves pursue secrecy and will not easily reveal the secrets of their clan to others." ”
"The High Elves attach so much importance to secrecy, even to the point of being a bit strict, that they have come up with a strict secrecy mechanism, once a High Elf is captured by the enemy, for various reasons (such as hypnosis or mind manipulation) to say 'mysterious', it will be directly broken by breaking the oath of secrecy and turned to ashes."
"Based on this strict secrecy mechanism, and the number of people who use the 'mystery' to the maximum, even in the god generation, the High Elves are second only to the gods." The Elf Queen couldn't help but sigh when she said this: "But it is precisely this strict secrecy mechanism that has ruined the glorious ...... of the High Elves."
Even if she didn't specify why, Edward had pretty much guessed it.
Since the 'mystery' is completely controlled and monopolized by the High Elf higher-ups, once the High-Elves are all wiped out due to some accidents. The 'mysterious' nature is lost, and the remaining High Elves have no way to revive the race.
It is no wonder that the bloodlines of the High Elves later split and scattered, forming the current situation of the remnants of various elven descendants.
"In other words, now that the High Elves have been extinct, these spells cannot be deciphered......" Edward was suddenly stunned as he said this.
If the extinction of the High Elves meant that the method of interpreting the secret text had been lost, then the use of these magic guides that could only be used by mastering the 'mystery' should have been lost as well.
So, where did the two constructs get their way to use these wizards?
Edward immediately raised his doubts to the Elven Queen.
After carefully inquiring about the characteristics of the two constructs, the Elven Queen believed that they should also be autonomic magicians left over from the High Elves, which were essentially anthropomorphic golems made of liquid metal 'white gills'.
In this way, it is normal to have permission to use the sacks and ropes that are also High Elf magicians.
"However, the constructor itself is also a magic channel, and if no one awakens it, it is impossible for it to suddenly appear in Crooks today, thousands of years after the destruction of the High Elves." Edward pondered, "And to awaken them is to be 'mysterious.'" In other words, in Crooks City, there are people who have really mastered the 'mystery' of the former High Elves! ”
If you think about it, it's not impossible.
Edward didn't think of himself as the kind of person who was extremely intelligent, and since even he could think of the disastrous consequences of being 'mysterious' monopolized by the High Elves higher-ups, it was impossible for the High Elves who had created that kind of glorious civilization to think about.
Therefore, it is very likely that they kept the 'mysterious' secret somewhere long before the destruction, just in case.
It's just that the remaining high elves don't know about it, or for various reasons, they can't find the 'mystery', so it leads to the elves falling apart.
Now, thousands of years later, it is not impossible that someone has stumbled upon the legacy left by the High Elves.
After listening to Edward's analysis, the Elven Queen pondered for a moment, then asked the Moon God Guard to invite a few Elven Elders who had studied the history of the High Elves, and then asked Goudan and Joe to tell them more about the information of the two constructs.
Unlike the Elven Queen, who only had a slight knowledge of the High Elves, these two old men were obviously archaeologists among the Elves and had already investigated a lot of information.
Therefore, when Goudan talked about the warhammer that looked small, but was extremely heavy, and could be recalled by the user, one of the elders had already excitedly said the name of the 'Luna Star Hammer', and then the strange little shield was also identified by them as the High Elves' special talisman weapon 'Guardian Moon'!
Although the name sounds a bit rubble, the Luna Star Hammer is a weapon made entirely of 'Star Iron', this metal only exists in the Lunar God's divine realm, and it is a divine creation - there are no stars in the real sense of the word in this world, and the stars that mortals see are actually the kingdom of God embedded in the divine realm - it is a gift from the Moon God that only devout believers of the Moon God can obtain.
Even if the Moon God Star Hammer is less than thirty centimeters, the share of star iron used by it probably takes tens of thousands of fanatics to get together, and it is impossible for fanatics to hand over the gifts of the gods in their hands, so they can only wait for the other party to pass away through other methods to obtain, considering that most of the Moon God believers are elves, I am afraid that the time spent on collecting materials alone will be far more than a thousand years.
After the casting of the Luna Star Hammer is completed, it is said that only the High Elves can hold it, as long as it can smash the rock with a slight wave, and even the mountain peaks can be hammered with a full blow, even if it is not as good as the Holy Spear Sefrim, but it is also a famous weapon of the High Elves.
As for the protection of the moon sky, it is the mass production equipment of the high elves, and its own defense is not much different from that of ordinary metal shields, but the magic blessed on the shield can offset most of the attacks, stagger the destructive power from the shield surface, and protect the holder in disguise.
It's just that the elven elders couldn't recognize what the sacks and ropes were, and they could only confirm from the secret text above that they were definitely the creations of the High Elves.
Just as Edward pondered how to ask the elves for help, his system page popped up.
