96 Solomon and the Half-Elf (5)
Since then, despite the rarity of appearances, one or two pure-blooded elves have been born into the families of half-blood elves every few years, and they have all chosen to enter the Temple of the Moon. Soon, a hundred years have passed, and the first purebred elf to enter finally walked out of the Moon Temple, only by this time she has become a Moon Temple priest, and will dedicate her life to spreading the belief of the Moon God, and in the following decades, every purebred elf who entered the Moon Temple to repent chose to become a sacrifice, without exception.
Under normal circumstances, since they became sacrifices to the gods, they would not engage in labor to obtain money, so their families would be supported by the temple.
However, their families themselves are slaves, and even if they are supported, it will not change anything, so at the request of Miria and other priests, the moon god issued an oracle allowing their family to be released from slavery, but the temple will no longer support them.
As soon as this oracle announced, the situation of the half-blood elves has been greatly improved, although they are still slaves, but at least there will be no situation where they can't eat after a hard day, after all, no one knows which family the next pure-blooded elf will be born in, so the half-blood elves have all chosen to believe in the god of the moon. And during this time, the Sun Temple remained silent, as if acquiescing to all this.
Time flew by, and the half-blood elves developed in this relatively good situation. Their lifespan has generally been reduced to about 300 years due to the blood of other races, but their fertility is still increasing at a rate far faster than that of normal elves. From 100,000 to more than 1 million, and then to nearly 10 million. Because of the increase in numbers, the number of purebred elves is also increasing. Soon, the Moon Temple also rejected the application of the purebred elves due to the saturation of the number of sacrifices, but still allowed them to enter the temple for repentance.
The purebred elves, who no longer became sacrifices, went to all walks of life in the kingdom, and without sacrifices, they could not change the slavery status of their families, and they had to improve the situation of their families by gaining more money or status. Therefore, the children born to these half-blood elves are completely different from ordinary elves with a quiet nature, and they will show great enthusiasm and unlimited motivation almost no matter what work they do. Among them, there are two forces that are most compatible with them, that is, the military department and the soul house!
The elves are peaceful and do not like to fight, which makes their already excellent magical talents more vivid, because magic requires independent thinking and research. But for the battlefield that requires blood and courage, it is very unsuitable, so most of the elves are very resistant to entering the military department, so these special elves who are very enthusiastic about fighting have entered the field of vision of the military department as soon as they appear, and after a period of investigation, the military department is extremely happy to accept them, and even new purebred elves will take the initiative to contact.
The same is true of the House of Souls, don't look at the great sages who are all squatting at home, it is due to the need to improve their strength and soul communication in their professions, and when they really fight, they are all as wild as beasts. So the purebred elves who enter these two forces are the most.
With the efforts of these alternative pure-blooded elves, the living environment of the half-blood elves is getting better and better, which makes their population increase faster, and the number of purebred elves appearing is also more, becoming a virtuous circle. And so on, the oracle of the sun god will become a joke, and the half-blood elves will become slaves in name only, because the masters they serve will be either their family, or the family of friends, or friends of their family, and they will not be oppressed or anything, which is not much different from normal attendants.
Faced with this situation, the Sun Temple remained silent, and even the number of sacrifices was much less.
Just when all the elves thought that these half-blood elves would slowly integrate into their lives and no longer suffer discrimination, something happened again!
The Moon God suddenly stopped answering the prayers of the believers, and at first it was only the priests of the Moon Temple who noticed that something was wrong, but was stopped by Miria, who was already the High Priest at the time, and did not let the news go. But the paper couldn't contain the fire, and soon the believers of the entire elf kingdom found out about this situation, especially the half-blood elves who believed in the god of the moon, after not getting a response for a long time, they all fell into a panic, everything they did was based on the protection of the god of the moon, and the anxious half-blood elves rushed to the temple of the moon god, but what they saw was actually a temple shrouded in the glory of the gods, which usually means the fall of the gods!!
At this time, the temple was empty, and none of the sacrifices of the Moon God Temple, which could be seen in ordinary times, appeared, and what was more serious was that all the sacrifices, holy scriptures, and belongings donated by believers in the temple had disappeared.
At this time, the priests of the Sun Temple, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly appeared and announced the oracle of the Sun God, "Moon God, hidden."
For a while, the entire kingdom fell into chaos, after all, in that period, the elven kingdom was able to maintain a transcendent identity in a closed and arrogant situation, and no kingdom dared to attack, all relying on the protection of the two superior gods, in fact, if it weren't for the elves who don't like war and are very unsuitable for the living environment outside the forest, they would have laid a huge land area a long time ago.
Now that a Patronus has suddenly disappeared, what are the elves to do in such a situation? Because the concealment of the gods is actually a deep sleep, only when the injury is extremely serious, the gods will enter this state, and the gods in this state are very fragile, and almost all the high-ranking gods recorded in history who were successfully slaughtered by mortals happened in this situation. And even if it is not found, there is no record of which god can successfully awaken after falling into a deep sleep, so for mortals, the concealment and fall of the god are actually just a name.
In the midst of the confusion among the elves, the sun god once again sent an oracle that "the moon god's concealment is due to the half-blood elves."
Once again, the half-blood elves felt the hostility of most of the elves in the kingdom, only this time it was no longer just disgust. The lack of faith and the uneasiness of the heart made the elves manic, and at this time, guided by the Sun Temple, the half-blood elves became the target of the emotions of all the elves in the kingdom, and the chaos broke out!
