Negotiating with the Human Empire is not easy.

Human beings definitely have ideas about elves, the reason why they don't send troops to exterminate elves, one is that the gains of killing chickens and eggs outweigh the losses, and the second is the constraints of the geographical environment, after all, the elves occupy a favorable position in the forest, and the third is that they are still a little afraid of the natural tree.

Therefore, human beings do not want to see the elves grow, they wish that the elves are a bunch of soft bones, let them change their positions, preferably the kind that slaps their butts and lies down on their own.

Under normal circumstances, the dangerous behavior of elves wanting to exchange meat will inevitably be stopped by the Human Empire.

Don't look at the extraordinary power in this world, but most people can only rely on exercise to get a strong body, but exercise is bound to eat meat, and high-intensity exercise without eating meat will kill people.

This time, however, the elves gave too much.

In the past, humans traded with elves, and elves were always reluctant, and humans had to be overwhelmed by an army and give enough pressure before elves would trade some elven specialties to humans.

And this time in the active transaction, the elves seem to have let go of the restrictions, and many things that will never be returned to humans in the past are also placed on the trading table.

Coupled with the consistent contempt of humans for elves, this time the transaction was quite smooth.

Nether squinted, knowing in his heart that after a while of making these guys smooth out with greater fear, they would definitely forget their fears again, and then rebel against Nether's order for change.

It reminded him of a movie he had seen in his last life.

"Design a logo, Carlos. Nether said, "Design a logo that represents our elves." ”

Elves mostly prefer patterns, especially the lines on their bodies, so most buildings will have similar patterns on them to indicate that this is an elven building.

However, a symbol that could represent the elves never appeared.

"At the same time, I want the convoy and the garrison to have their respective uniforms and wear the same emblem for the elves. ”

"It's better to have a uniform salute. Nether said that because the elves did not have a real elven king before, the elves also had some flaws in etiquette.

"The uniform must be handsome, only handsome, young people of the elf clan will be willing to join the garrison. ”

"If it's a sign, put the moon in it. Nether thought for a moment and said.

"Moon?" Carlos asked, puzzled.

In the world of the nine-day cycle, there is no moon, from the bright sun to the dark sun, so Carlos is puzzled by the word moon in Nether's mouth.

"Celestial bodies similar to the stars in the sky do not emit light in themselves, but appear bright by reflecting the sun's brilliance, and if the sun is the origin of life, then the moon is the turning point of life. ”

"Is that so?" Carlos nodded, indicating that he understood, and hurriedly ordered these things to continue.

Nether looked at Carlos who was leaving, and knew in his heart that his actions seemed to be fine, but he gradually released a devil.

At the same time, the people of the Ice Sea Mercenary Group also began to test the shadow elves.

The Shadow Elves seem to have lost the protection of the forest, and the lines on their bodies no longer allow them to sense the emotions of the flora and fauna in the forest, so some of the Shadow Elves have become unaccustomed to moving in the forest.

Although they no longer needed the forest, a large number of trees were cut down by them and then fed to the Shadow Tree.

The lines on their bodies have evolved into another ability, which is to hallucinate people.

When Joshua was chasing Bessie before, his words caused Bessie to constantly hallucinate that her companions were around, which was caused by Bessie walking with him all the way and seeing too many lines on his body.

The Shadow Elves remained greedy for everything, built villages, and battles were everywhere.

Infected by the Shadow Tree, they only have endless desires in their hearts, and they can never be satisfied, and when there are no outsiders, they can only set their eyes on other shadow elves.

The winner rules everything for the loser and does whatever he wants, and although the village is formed, there is chaos inside.

Mateo looked at all this, unable to tell whether it was remorse or pain, and then these emotions fermented in his heart, and finally gave birth to greater dissatisfaction.

His mind seemed to go back to a few months ago, and with the human army pressing down again, the elves no longer dared to resist, and had to start another transaction.

He felt humiliated, but powerless to resist.

Only this time the things that humans want have increased again.

The resources are okay, but the most excessive thing is that they proposed to invite a few elves to the human society as guests.

They said they were guests, but what they were actually going to do, all of them, including the elves, knew it.

The priesthood expressed their anger that there was no need to talk about it, but they did not expel the human envoys from the territory of the elves.

At that time, Matteo, who was guarding the elven team, felt a little colder in his heart.

Because the last time, when humans raised the need for dead leaves unique to the elves, the priesthood did the same, expressing anger, and there was no need to talk about this matter, but then they handed over the dead leaves.

To some extent, the dead leaves represent the tree of nature, and the leaves of the tree of nature cannot be evergreen, so occasionally some of the dead leaves fall, or they are plucked for other reasons, and they are quickly yellowed from the tree of nature.

These leaves, known as dead leaves, are a great material for defending against attacks by various forces of nature.

And because of the symbolic significance, these dead leaves are collected well, and are generally only used to record some key secret arts or perform sacrifices.

From that time on, Mateo could see that humans were breaking the elves' spines little by little, making them kneel at the feet of humans and give what they wanted.

Mateo then plans to unite with the other elves to force the priesthood to go to war with the humans, and to refuse the humans' inch.

He failed, the elves were too 'natural and peaceful', and he was imprisoned for rallying against the authority of the priesthood, who even intended to put him to death in order to appease the wrath of the humans.

His lover stood up for him and volunteered to be a guest in human society, so that he could save his life.

But he was still sent to the front of the battle line, and he could sense that the elves around him looked at him very strangely, and he knew something about it, that is, the priesthood and the humans still did not intend to let him go.

It is estimated that after he goes to the front line at the edge of the forest, he will be surrounded by humans in a certain battle, and then become an elf who unfortunately dies in battle.

From then on, no one will remember him, and the elves will also perish step by step in this situation, and eventually become slaves of humans.

So he rebelled against the elves who escorted him, and then went to the front line, and with his own ability, he gained the trust of more elves, attacked the human envoys, and snatched his lover back.

He next plans to lead the elves to other places and establish a new elven race, and in the process, he discovers an elven scholar cultivating a new tree of nature.

He planned to take the scholar with him to his new place of residence, but when it was dark day, he found that the lover he had rescued had committed suicide because he could not see any hope for the future.

Perhaps it was because of this that some kind of sacrificial need was fulfilled, and at that time, a voice appeared in his heart, and following the guidance of that voice, he brought the Tree of Shadows to this world.

At first, he just wanted to use the power of the Shadow Tree to let the elves continue to multiply, but then the hatred in his heart rose, and he wanted to use it to gain great power to take revenge on humans.

He wanted more and more, and eventually everything started to get out of hand.

He stood up and felt like laughing as he watched humans greedily sacrifice everything they had to the Shadow Tree, and then transform into Shadow Elves under the power of the Shadow Tree.

"People are always greedy, and they already have many precious things, but they are still not satisfied. Mateo wasn't sure if he wanted to laugh at humans or at himself.

Looking at the shadow elves with the appearance of humans, and looking at the faces of those former compatriots with greed, it was unclear for a moment whether humans were transformed into elves or elves were infected by humans.

"But it doesn't matter anymore, the gap of desire that can never be filled has been completely opened, and everyone should give everything they have. ”

People offer their most precious things, begging a tree to give them treasures to fulfill their wishes.

They may or may not have fulfilled their wishes, but it doesn't matter anymore, because their hearts will only be occupied by greater desires.

Mateo looked up into the distance, his sharp gaze locked on a certain direction, and even if he didn't speak, a large number of shadow elves rushed towards it.

The Shadow Network, based on the power of the Shadows, all the Shadow Elves infected by the Shadow Tree have a basic perception network, and when a certain being perceives the existence of other living beings that do not belong to this network, the other Shadow Elves can obtain corresponding perceptions.

"It was discovered, withdrawn. Kronas sensed a massive malice hovering over him, as if it was about to consume everything about them.

On the other side, Carlos came up to Nether and placed a template of a logo on the table.

The sign was that a tree was rooted in a half-light and half-dark planet, and apparently that planet was the moon that Nether described.

"Are you sure what's the name?" Nesser looked at the sign, not asking too much.

"Moontree. Carlos looked at the designed logo and seemed to be involuntarily emotional: "We call this logo the Moon Tree." ”
