Chapter 1: A New Beginning

More than 4,000 years is neither long nor short for the elves of Kadore, and life repeats itself. Since the knowledge of magic was leaked, human civilization has changed with each passing day, and dynasties have risen and fallen like clouds of smoke. The elves had been preparing for a human counterattack, but instead of changing to be a vassal state of Kadore, the power of magic was first used in their civil war.

Of course, Cadore intervened, and to the elves the civil war of the human race was irrelevant; But in the years of the king's absence, everything had to be done with caution. Although there is Azhara in charge; However, as a consequence of the misuse of magic, the people of Cadore are still fresh in their minds, and no one wants to accept the arrival of the Burning Legion again.

Winter is coming, and the oak trees of Aisaline are all dyed a dazzling gold. At this time, it seems to be apt for the name it once was, Kim. Esaline. Although it is no longer the capital of Kadore, the queen has not given up on the development of the land as the center of the country. In the years since Moonshade is gone, Asalyn has built this place as the largest coastal city, perhaps remembering the city that once belonged to hers.

The docks are filled with both Kadore's warships and merchant ships, as well as many human ships, and the new Atherine is an important trading port for Kalimdor open to humans, and its ancient name is pregnant with new life.

With the jingling of bells and the flickering light of the lighthouse, a purple-flagged human warship approached the harbor. It stands to reason that warships would not normally take the initiative to approach another country's harbor as a provocation, but the sailors and residents in the harbor were not flustered by this scene, as if it was not uncommon.

After the battleship docked, surrounded by human knights in stainless steel plate armor, several human teenagers disembarked from the ship. Among them were three teenagers and a young girl, all of whom were richly dressed and looked like human nobles. When the humans disembarked, they were greeted by an elf with several soldiers dressed as warriors in armor.

"Hello, I'm Victor, who is escorting students to the Royal Academy this time." The man at the head of the human knights first took off his helmet and performed a standard knightly salute, and then introduced himself to the welcoming elves.

"You don't have to tell me who you are, I know what you're here for. Anyway, it bothers me once in decades. Hurry up and send your ships out of port; I took a few of them with me. The elf man said with some impatience in his tone, and after finishing speaking, he glanced at a few human teenagers and turned around and prepared to leave.

"This elf is too arrogant, he doesn't even take us seriously, what is the elegance of the legendary elf!"

Several of the teenagers were nobles among the human race, and some were even princes and the like. The attitude of the elven man obviously made them unhappy, who were usually pampered; One of the teenagers with broken blond hair muttered unhappily.

"The grace of our elves will not give you shameful human thieves, and it will disgust me to see you." The elven man apparently heard the young man's muttering, and his eyes became fierce as he spoke.

"How can you insult" The blonde boy was about to say something, and the human knight Victor, who had spoken earlier, hurriedly pulled him behind him, and continued, "Our little prince of Stormwind is still young. Thank you for your understanding. After the replenishment, our warship will return and leave tomorrow morning, and on the way to the Holy City, we hope that the adults will take care of these students. ”

"Hmph, find your own place to rest in the city, and let your students gather in the central square tomorrow morning." The elven man was obviously not prepared to deal with the boy, and Victor took out the name of Stormwind City, and Stormwind City was the closest among the Kadore and human countries, and he left with the soldiers after saying that.

"What a cold reception! We are all princesses and princesses, and these elves don't arrange a place to stay, and let us find our own place. It's really infuriating, especially the elven guard chief just now. The blonde boy said with some indignation, and then he looked at the knight leader again: "Victor, what did you just pull me for?" You've lost all of our honor in Stormwind, and you look at the elf and say we're thieves."

"Don't argue Ryan. We all know what kind of person Victor is, and he naturally has his reasons for doing so. Can you please stop being so impulsive! As the little blonde prince complained, the long-haired human maiden in the line interrupted him.

"Okay, Magna, I'm not going to fight with you." Saying that, the blonde prince Ryan turned his gaze to Victor: "If you don't give a reason, I will let my father punish you heavily when I go back." ”

"I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness Prince Ryan, but in fact, this was all given to me by His Majesty before he left. Moreover, the soldiers led by the elven officer just now are at least sixth-order warriors, equivalent to knight chiefs, and some of them are seventh-order, and he himself must be at least a seventh-order peak or eighth-order lord, and even those of us can't beat his soldiers, let alone himself. Victor said, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"How is that possible? An ordinary soldier in a coastal city has a sixth-order, I don't believe it" Hearing Victor's words, the knights and several teenagers around were all shocked, and Ryan was obviously a little unconvinced. You must know that a sixth-order warrior can be a manager with a high rank in the human army. At present, the highest combat power of the human race is only an eighth-order existence.

"Hehe, after all, Kadore is a country that has existed for countless years. And it's not incomprehensible that elves live a long life. Ryan is the future prince of Stormwind City, and Victor is reluctant to break the little prince's confidence.

"Is it really that strong? So aren't we humans dangerous? And what was the reason he just called us thieves? Ryan's mood was agitated for a short time, and Victor's words were a little surprising.

"I've heard the chief of the palace say that the minimum standard for Kadore's enlistment seems to be a sixth-order strength. I used to think he was joking! A teenager next to him followed.

"It's okay for these ordinary soldiers to say, I heard that there is a mage legion in Kadore, and the lowest of them are all eighth-order mages, which is called terrifying." Another teenager also followed.

"These are nothing compared to the two demigod kings and queens of Kadore, but it seems that their king disappeared four or five thousand years ago. It is now ruled by Queen Eshara. The last teenager also said, and everyone was silent for a while.

"I know a little bit about them calling us thieves." Magna stroked the fever and said slightly. Her full name is Magna. Egwene was the only female of these teenagers; It is also the only one who does not belong to the royal family and thinks that it is a human commoner. Her long black hair and fair skin, combined with her delicate facial features, make her a beauty even by the standards of elves.

"Oh? Let's hear it. As Magna spoke, several teenagers, including the knights, also moved their eyes to her, obviously making them more curious about this matter.

"I've heard my mentor say that long ago there were no magicians among us humans; The only ones who know how to use magic are the elves of Kadore. Thousands of years ago, a half-elf woman approached the then-young King of Cadore, learned magic and taught it to us humans. Magna stroked the ends of her hair and spoke lightly.

"Half-elf?" Ryan interrupted Magna to look even more curious, apparently feeling like he was trying to get the most ignorant in the crowd.

"Let's talk as we go. Victor, you go to the inn with someone, it's not a long way from here to the Holy City. Magna smiled slightly, these were fortunate secrets, and everyone knew that she didn't want to pass them on, so she sent some unrelated soldiers away first.

"Well, if you're thoughtful, I'll send them to find it." With that, Victor sent a few knights out, and only he stayed.

"Half-elves are a hybrid of elves and humans, which is rare. You must know that the law of the elves states that if an elf marries with another race, he will be deprived of eternity and expelled from Kadore. Elves who have lost their eternity will soon die of old age as we humans have a lifespan, so it is rare for half-elves to be born. As several of the knights were taken away, Magna began to speak slowly.

"Half-elves do not have the immortality of elves, some look like humans and some look like elves, but none of them are able to have children, as if they were punished by the gods. Human-looking ones are hard to spot among humans, and the most embarrassing ones are those who look like elves. Magna sighed.

"How so? Elves are very eye-catching! What's so bad about looking like an elf? Ryan was a little surprised by Magna's words.

"Because they look like elves, they can't blend in with humans. But to the elves they are only like elves, and the half-elves can be recognized by them at a glance. And they all despise the half-elves so much, believing them to be a defilement of the Kadore bloodline. So they don't blend in with the spirits, so they're the most painful intermediate beings. Magna shook her head.

"Oh. Magna, you're so knowledgeable, you know all these things. Ryan nodded, and the others agreed, apparently admiring Magna.

"That's what I told me when I arrived, she's a half-elf who looks like a human. Speaking of which, I have to say that the elves used to have a law, that is, the knowledge of magic was absolutely forbidden to be passed on. But the half-elf caused the little prince of Cadore to break this law, which is why the elves later became extremely hostile to humans.

According to the law, the little prince must also be deprived of eternity and expelled from Cadore, but his mother is queen after all. In the end, although he was not sanctioned, he was imprisoned. Magna sighed at this point before continuing, "Queen Eshara wanted to chase down the half-elf in order to destroy the spread of magic, but in the end, the half-elf was silent and silent, so she had to give up. It wasn't until magic spread among humans that the elves intervened again. It's just that the knowledge of magic has been spread in large quantities and can no longer be controlled, so Kadore has no choice but to sign an agreement with us humans. ”

"Is it the mage code that we have to memorize when we are enlightened?" Ryan asked.

"Well, in addition to the rules of the Mage Code, which states that magic cannot be abused, the elves have promised that every thirty years humans can send up to ten magical apprentices to study at the Royal Academy; However, for this to happen, the humans will have to let these mages fight Kadore in the future if they need it.
