Chapter 383: Elves and Trolls
Degolion departed, with respect for Nollis and disdain, resentment, suspicion, and depression for Locke.
It is true that Norris had just taught him to be respectful and courteous to all foreign races, and it was clear that the noble elves could not do that for a while.
Locke knew this.
Not to mention the elves, even the farmers who once lived around the royal city of Lordaeron were full of disdain for the people in other remote parts of the kingdom. This disdain is a contempt for hillbillies and people who have not met the market. This kind of superiority from regional differences has been very common in the world since Locke came, and it is also the same here, perhaps this is the common problem of intelligent beings after they have a hierarchy.
To sum up, the High Elves have always looked down on their human ally. Nothing, short life, endless desire. And... The demon prince who destroyed their homeland...
Locke shrugged his shoulders disapprerovingly, this is really sorry, no one can stop a prince who has fallen into madness.
Of course, the look in Digolion's eyes as he left was full of heartache. Locke probably knows why, maybe his behavior with Nolis makes him angry?
He may wonder why female ranger generals like humans?
In this regard, Locke hugged Noris's small waist hard, and this action made the elf girl roll her eyes. However, the elf girl did not avoid him, but was very normal to dig something in the bag of the chocobo beside her.
She seemed to be intentionally expressing her wishes to the elves around her.
Following Dai Golien left was dozens of young elven rangers in green leather armor, all of them young and beautiful, and heroic. Compared to that, the green hunchbacked creature with a thick iron chain around them was tall.
It was guarded by two rangers, staggering forward.
Please forgive Locke for using inappropriate adjectives, as the elves are not very tall, most of them are between 1.7 meters and 1.85 meters tall, and few are above 1.9 meters.
You must know that during the period of the ancient elves, as the upper elves, their height was generally 2.1 meters or higher. For example, the current Night Elves, such as the little De Rhein that Locke saw, her height is also 1.9 meters tall.
In fact, there were reasons for that, including the green monster they were watching.
Thousands of years ago, when the upper elves crossed east to the eastern continents, they came to the shores of Lordaeron. They were trying to find a place where they could live.
As a result of the long journey, the upper elves were completely cut off from the Well of Eternity, which provided them with power.
Many elves have either froze to death in the cold or died of extreme magical hunger.
To make matters worse, an inexplicable fear began to emerge among them. The growing number of elves, for some reason, became insane, and they wreaked havoc on everything until they were struck down by others.
As a last resort, they left the first land they had landed, which would become the Tirisfal Glades.
At that time, the continent was not named, and humanity was still in a wild period. The Viku people from Northrend, affected by the Flesh Curse, thrived in this land and then gradually evolved into the humans they are today.
On their way to migration, they found the ancestors of humanity, a cursed Viku people, among the mountains. With their help, the elves were temporarily repaired. At this time, the elves did not take these humans seriously, because of their weak strength, their short life could not attract their attention.
With the help of these Viku people who believed in Tyre, the elves made their way north and deep into the continent. They have encountered the most terrible threat in the New World.
Trolls!
Yes, that is, the green, hunchbacked green creature in Locke's eyes, the troll.
The Amani Empire, the Troll Empire that once controlled the eastern part of the Lordaeron continent and even most of the northern part of the continent.
These green-skinned, long-fanged forest monsters have had enough of the elves. They are all over 7 feet tall and huge. Voodoo trolls are able to lurk in the jungle with their green skin and strange sorcery, and then take advantage of the opportunity to sneak up on all lone and smaller elf teams.
Many elves have been taken captive and used as food for the mouths of trolls, or sacrificed to evil rituals
Immediately after, a large-scale battle between elves and trolls ensued.
During the battle, the elves found that the trolls covered by the jungle were unusually cunning. They can quietly lurk near the camp, while the upper elves, as the earliest group of mages, are a little overwhelmed to deal with this kind of lurking methods.
A weak mage is not effective against melee attacks from troll scouts and assassins. Many mages were killed inside their own camp tents.
And that's not all that gives the elves a headache, they find that the trolls actually have super regenerative powers!
Countless trolls who were not killed on the battlefield will be restored in just a few days after they have fled the battlefield!
At first, the upper elven mages thought that these trolls had some special spells, but after capturing a few captives, it became clear.
The severed arm can be restored in two days. Chopped off fingers, shaved noses and ears or something, that's a matter of the day.
This is simply unbelievable to the elves. Since then, studying why trolls can regenerate quickly has become a must for every elven mage.
As the battle intensified, a number of different voices began to emerge inside the elves.
The elves believe that they are now far away from the Sunwell, and that it is no longer possible for magic alone to protect their families in this special environment.
They should make some kind of tentative change.
As a result, classes such as rangers who excel in jungle warfare, assassins who excel in assassination, and a very small number of strong warriors begin to appear among the elves.
In this way, the elves fought and walked, all the way to the northernmost part of the continent. They found a jungle of golden leaves and taw-red trees.
The elves, bathed in golden sunlight, burst into tears, and they found the land they wanted. They kissed the earth and congratulated each other.
There, they founded a new magical kingdom called Quel'Salas.
The elves, united in their hearts, drove out the Amani Empire that was entrenched here, and they began to call themselves the High Elves, Queldore.
The meaning is, the noble son.
Using the bottle of water from the Well of the Sun, they created a new Well of the Sun to satisfy the elves' addictions.
However, the actions of the elves angered the original owner of this land, the troll Amani Empire. Thus, this centuries-long war has continued until now.
