Chapter 212: History of the Continent

readx;?? After God finished the work of creation, he began to teach civilization to the elves, and then let the elves spread these civilizations to other races, which is why the elven civilization is more ancient and has been passed on for a longer time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Elves are the origin and disseminators of civilization in this world, until now the common language recognized on the continent is the ancient elf language, it is said that the elves left behind when they spread civilization to various races, language is an important carrier of civilization, which shows the important role of elves in the development of continental civilization, but later with the development of different races and their respective civilizations, the complex language of ancient elves was gradually abandoned, and each race invented its own language, especially human beings, whose languages are diverse, and even the writing is varied。

When the civilization of this world gradually developed, the god decided to leave this continent and return to his own god domain, but before leaving, he used great mana to shrink the huge world tree, and handed over the shrunken world tree to the elves for safekeeping, and the area originally covered by the world tree became an endless forest, which is now the elven forest. Because this forest and the World Tree are one, it has become the exclusive territory of the elves, and in order for the elves to survive better in the forest, the gods taught the elves the ability to control plants, that is, elven magic.

Although the original continent was dominated by elves, each race had its own territory, and they had always coexisted peacefully, and there was no conflict of faith or conflict of interest between them, because at that time they all believed in a god, and the elves did not hide their secrets at that time, and they shared all the knowledge that the gods had taught them to other races, including the magical knowledge that made them powerful, and also generously passed on to other races. But it was precisely this act of generosity that became the starting point for the endless racial disputes and struggles on the continent that followed.

To the surprise of all races, the elves' attempt to spread magical knowledge this time was not successful, not only unsuccessful, but outright failure, whether it was a human, an orc, a dwarf, no one of the races could learn this magic. This result made the other races realize that they simply did not have the artistic cells to learn magic.

In addition to the disappointment, not only did the various races have questions, they are all created by God, but why does God not treat His people equally? Once this resentment arises, it quickly begins to sprout, grow, and blossom, and eventually the seeds that bear are spread in all directions, rooted in the hearts of everyone who feels that it is unfair.

For a long period of history, the elves have more power than other races because they have mastered the magic of the elves, they have maintained the dominance of the entire continent with a small population, they have the most valuable resources on the continent, and enjoy the most superior treatment, so the elves have a saying: every elf is a nobleman.

Gradually, the dignity and inferiority of status were consolidated, and classes began to emerge. The ruled races gradually became aware of this inequality, but they were powerless to resist because they did not know magic, and over time this inequality turned into more resentment towards God, and they began to hate God.

And with the passage of time, God has been gone for a long time. Everything about the gods can only come from records and legends, and the other races began to suspect that the existence of the gods was simply a story made up by the elves, in order to maintain their dominance, in order to override them. This suspicion took root in the soil of resentment and began to spread rapidly, the belief in the elven god began to crumble, the other races began to gradually rebuild their faith, the infidels began to appear, and the era of peace on the continent was gone forever.

The first pagans appeared in the orcs, because the strength of the orcs made them believe that there was a gift given to them by a god, and this god they called the beast god.

Although the elves have a peaceful temperament, but for the steadfastness of the faith, so that they will never allow the appearance of other gods, so they do not tolerate the infidels, they began to use their advantages to suppress various "cults", because the elves have mastered magic, the infidels are vulnerable, and the rule of the elves is still unbreakable, but this state has not lasted forever.

The magic taught by the elves, although everyone did not learn, but everyone did not give up the study of related fields, and the first breakthrough was the orcs, they improved the magic spells, combined with the dance of the orcs, to create a war song that can be used on the orcs, this kind of war song once blessed to the orcs, immediately made their combat effectiveness multiplied, so the war between the infidels and the elves is no longer a thousand miles, with the help of the sacrifice that can sing the war song, the orcs began to regain the initiative on the local battlefield, especially those areas where the weather is cold and the earth is not conducive to the elven magic。

The war of faith between the elves and the orcs lasted for many years, and the two sides had many battles, winning and losing each other, but neither could destroy the other, but the division of the sphere of influence between each other was becoming clearer and clearer, the power of the orcs gradually moved north, where the magic power of the elves was limited, and the orcs were fully capable of defending their homeland, and in the south of the continent was the home of the elves, and the attacks of the orcs were repeatedly frustrated.

In the long years of the war between the elves and the orcs, mankind ushered in a golden age of development, and some human beings through the exploration of elven magic, developed their own unique fighting spirit and prayer techniques, that is, the later Holy See secret arts. It's just that humans are not as impatient as the orcs, they are not in a hurry to find a god for themselves to arouse the hatred of the elves, they are just quietly developing their own power in secret.

One day, the elves turned back from the war with the orcs and suddenly found that the humans around them had grown like weeds, spreading to every corner of the world. Only then did the elven rulers realize that they had lost their leadership over the continent, and if they did not make wise choices in time, the foundation that the elves had built for thousands of years could be ruined.

Standing at the crossroads of history, the elven king asked the great elder who mastered divination to conduct a divination, and after the divination results came out, the elf king led the elven clan to withdraw from the war with the orc clan, not only that, but they also gave up most of the area they ruled, and the entire race retreated to the elven forest, living a closed life, and no longer involved in the affairs of other races on the continent.

At that time, the Elven King's decision was strongly questioned within the Elves, if it were not for the tradition of the Elven Throne and the support of the Great Elder, I am afraid that the Elven King would have stepped down at that time, but later facts proved that the Elven King's choice was extremely correct.
