Chapter 438: Listen to Mom Tell Me About the Past
"I want to save the people, but the people don't deserve to be saved. What they need is a dictator, a master, a king. β
Great revolutionary Sora. Star Breaker in Silvermoon City Ranger Lord Aurelia. Under the constant provocation of the Windranger, he finally revealed his true thoughts.
A story that is not surprising, the history of the growth of a gifted child.
At an early age, Sora showed an extraordinary talent for magic and an exceptional ability to learn. So as a matter of course, she went to Queldanus to bask in the glow of the Sunwell to learn the best magic of the High Elves, and at the age of less than a hundred years, she was given the title of Archmagister. If it were to follow the vision of others, young Sola should continue to advance by leaps and bounds on the path of magic, becoming the defender of Silvermoon City and a solid supporter of the Sunstrider dynasty.
Sora once thought so, too.
Until she falls into a philosophical dilemmaββββ what is noble?
Why are nobles noble, why are high elves superior, and why are kings kings?
Originally, it was just a philosophical question, and Sola consulted all the elders who could ask for advice. But the more I heard the elder's answer, the more confused I became, and the more I wanted to figure it out, the more I didn't understand.
Until one day, when the archmage Birohua sighed and said to Sora, "Maybe only the gods can answer your questions", the female elf did not hesitate to give up her status as an archmage and became a priest.
Sora does not regret the change of status, because during her days at the temple, she understood the value of tolerance and redemption, and the charm of the equality of all beings.
However, it was also the beginning of the suffering in her spiritual world.
If divided into 100 years, her generation can be regarded as a witness to the last pioneering era of Silvermoon City.
Sola. The Star Breaker has witnessed the decay of Silvermoon City......
Inadequacy with the depravity of outsiders.
The royal family is locked in a power struggle with the Parliament, the people are not willing to make progress and are content with the good life brought by magical technology, knowledge and avenues of advancement are monopolized, and the racial class is gradually solidified.
What is the difference between this and the Night Elves of the Caldore, who are attacked and despised?
During her days as a priest at the temple, her quiet life gave Sola plenty of time to think about life and read the books.
Reflecting on history, Sola is caught in the confusion of life.
So, her teacher advised her to return to the court of the Sunstrider, to the High Elves' center of power.
It is useless to think more, only practice is the only criterion for testing the truth.
If you don't do it, you can't change anything.
That year, Aurelia was promoted to Ranger Lord for clearing out trolls.
So the genius girl Sora. The Star Breaker has decided to change classes once more and join the Far Wanderer troops.
The hard training didn't bother Sora, but thanks to the perseverance of Aurelia and her generation, by the time Sora earned the title of Ranger, Zuaman's troll remnants were no match for them.
Clearing out trolls has become a means for the children of the nobility to accumulate merit and seek promotion.
Silvermoon City's army is still strong, but under such toughness, corruption and crime breed.
Another hundred years, Sora did almost every profession she could think of, and walked Quel'Salas all over.
An inexplicable grief and indignation swelled in her chest.
She finally understood the meaning of Bi Luohua's words back then.
The Grand Magus didn't really ask her to ask the gods for advice, but she was lamenting her powerlessness.
She's not the only one, Sora. A smart person from the Star Breaker saw the clue, but the other smart people chose to remain silent.
If you don't want to say it, I'll tell you.
What you don't want to do, I'll do.
With this sentiment in mind, Sola stepped into the political maelstrom of Silvermoon City.
In the struggle between the Sunstriders and the Council of Silvermoon City, countless good proposals have been shelved, countless good people have been deposed, and the starting point of everything is politics, politics! Politics!!!
And what about the people of Silvermoon City?
All they care about is money, clothes, and food.
Everything he saw and heard told Sora that ββββthe reason why a nobleman was a nobleman had nothing to do with nobility at all, but because he/her father was a nobleman. The reason why the High Elves are superior to others is that the High Elves are superior to humans in magic.
This isn't the Queldore elves I'm proud of, and this isn't the land I love!
Unable to find a way out in confusion and indignation, Sora is easily used like a fly in a glass jar, becoming a sharp knife in the hands of the parliamentarians.
But truly intelligent people never forget to reflect and introspect.
After recognizing the true nature of the council, Sola is determined to fight for the interests of all High Elves.
She was then sent to a magical prison by the enraged Sun King and the councillors of Silvermoon City.
"Didn't you say that we were in vain for the interests of the people? Then your crimes will be judged by the people. β
Sora doesn't understand what she's doing wrong.
I should say that I haven't done anything at all, so why should I be judged?
Isn't it sinful to think about it!
Fortunately, at the public trial, she was given the right to defend herself.
However, her impassionedness, her voice, and her emotion, in the eyes of everyone in the audience, are just an unexciting comedy.
In the end, Sora's charges ββββ conspiracy to coup d'Γ©tat were not substantiated enough to convict him of obstruction of public order.
The penalty is imprisonment for a hundred years.
With the joint efforts of the family and the division commander, the Sun King pardoned Sora.
But hatred and anger inevitably grow wildly, especially when Sora learned that the vote for her guilt only cost one gold and thirty-five silver coins at the previous trial.
Didn't you say the evidence was insufficient?
I'll show you!
Sola travels through the city and countryside, lamenting the inaction of the nobles and calling on the people of Quel'Salas to unite for their own interests.
In the end, it was blocked by the lawbreakers.
"Look at yourself, the Grand Magister, the High Priest, the Ranger, you were born to be on the side of the nobility, but you go to persuade a group of beneficiaries to rise up in revolution, who will believe you."
was betrayed.
Sora is betrayed by the person she wants to help.
This time, it is impossible to say whether the punishment is light or severe, and Sola has been exiled and will never be allowed to set foot in Quilsilas.
"A big girl in her 300s, why is her thinking still so extreme. There is no Sun King, there is no Sun Chaser King, how to unite Queldore. β
Aurelia couldn't help but shake her head after hearing the remarks that the people were not worth saving.
She is obsessed with Sora, and only because Sora is indeed a slight genius among the High Elves.
But Sora had been reluctant to talk to her before, so Aurelia didn't expect Sora to be so extreme after being exiled.
"Yes, the High Elves do need a king, and I think I'm up to the task."
Sora raised her head proudly.
"You want to be the queen of Silvermoon City?"
Aurelia asked with some amusement.
"No, I want to be the queen of all the Queldore elves."
Sora relented in her serious expression.
"Are you sure you can do better than the Sun King?"
Aurelia asked rhetorically.
"Yes, at least I'm sure the league is the future of Quill Sellas. Times are different, and closing the country is tantamount to self-defeating, and magic can't save the high elves. β
After saying that, Sora ignored Aurelia and forcibly ended the conversation, continuing her hunt.
No one else would have known that in this primeval forest, two High Elves had once had such a conversation.
