Chapter 74: From the Starry Sky (Part II)
Chris Morningwind told Jiang Feng about a distant past.
In primeval times, far back beyond the Covenant era, the planet was not owned by humans, but by elves.
On Baron Fred's bookshelf, Jiang Feng had read about this history. However, both the rigorous history books and the poetic epics are vague when it comes to the era dominated by the elves.
The time period when human civilization really rose was after the Covenant Age. And most of the recorded history is concentrated after the Covenant era.
As chaos faded like a tidal wave, the kingdom of elves and dwarves gradually declined, and under the leadership of the Church, the spark of human civilization began in the holy city of Romania, and eventually spread to two continents with the footsteps of migrants...... This is the true history of the rise of human civilization on this planet.
"When my ancestors first came here, there were no churches in this land, no human nobles and no kings, and naturally there was no so-called chaos. At that time, the two continents were filled with forests, and the fragrance of nature lingered in every inch of soil, and the abundant magical elements were like the vast sea beyond the beach of Elowa, and the creatures living here, every breath of air, was full of rich life energy. ”
"With the help of the elves, humans got out of the cave and established primitive settlements. Later, mankind, who moved from ignorance to civilization, established cities there and called them holy places...... As far as I know, the Church of Humanity lied on this point. The holy city of Romania was not built under the guidance of the gods, and it was not the father who enlightened human civilization, but the elves. ”
"However, the good times were short-lived, and the eyes of prying eyes finally fixed on this place."
"The first to target this place is Chaos, who manipulate terrifying evil powers, corrupting the minds of some elves, making them follow evil beliefs, slaughter their own kind under the guidance of Chaos, hunt the creatures of the forest, and gain power that does not belong to them through evil sacrifices."
"To these astray compatriots, our ancestors called them the Fallen, and the humans on that continent who resemble you call them Fallen Elves."
"This war went on for a long time. As for how many years have passed, even I can't give you a definite answer. However, there is one thing that I remember clearly, and that is that when our king rang the bell of victory, there were very few elves that once spread throughout the forests of the Norren continent......"
When he said this, the gentle swaying canopy and the rustle of the breeze through the treetops brought a touch of nostalgia and sadness. In that long, dull tone, Krees slowly told the final outcome of the elves on this planet.
"After enduring so much grief and death, they decided to leave here knowing that this war would never end."
"In the epic, they set off from Far Lane Bay in a slender wooden boat, went west, and never returned...... However, this is not the case. There was no poetic sailboat, no beautiful farewell, I still remember that foggy day, a light descended from the sky, and their voices and shadows gradually sublimated in the hazy fog. ”
"It was a ship countless times larger than the cloud cover, and when it came, it even obscured the sun."
The day of farewell was described in poetic language, but Jiang Feng's focus was not on the situation when they left this world.
"Do you know where they went?" Jiang Feng asked seriously.
Hearing this, combined with the patterns he had captured on that arrow and that necklace earlier, and Kreese's description of the elves, he could now be 100% sure that the so-called elves on this planet were the Elphs who had been wiped out in the river of time.
As for the relationship between the humans on this planet, and even the half-elves and the Elph clan, it is probably equivalent to Jiang Feng and those Samons. As for the "big ship" in Krees's mouth, it is most likely the starship of the Elph clan. Although he didn't have the opportunity to see it with his own eyes, Jiang Feng had never seen it in the works of art of the Federation.
To sum up Kreese's statement, the invasion of the Idealistic Civilization caused the Elphs to lose control of this planet, perhaps because of pity for the living creatures, or because they could not face this sad place, in short, they left here.
However, what Jiang Feng cared about was not why they left.
Rather, how did they get here, who had disappeared from the galaxy for more than a thousand years......
"All I know is that they went to the distant starry sky, but I don't know exactly where they were." Krees said slowly.
That's right.
Thinking about it from another perspective, Jiang Feng asked himself, if he didn't plan to take the Samons away from this planet when he left, or only planned to take some of them, he would definitely not tell the rest of the Samons where he planned to go.
It's not a question of whether you want it or not, it's that there is no need for that at all.
Looking at Jiang Feng, who was speechless, Krees said slowly.
"Two thousand years have passed, and chaos is awakening. For the sake of my people, and for the sake of all the creatures on this planet, I beg you from the bottom of my heart to do me a favor. ”
"What's the busy?" Jiang Feng asked.
The thick roots moved slowly, and a bright silver long sword was slowly handed in front of him. Taking the long sword and pinching it in his hand, looking at the mysterious lines engraved on the sword's body, Jiang Feng's eyebrows raised slightly with interest.
On this sword, he felt a huge amount of spiritual energy that was being suppressed.
Just as he was scanning the huge spiritual energy with his brain, Krees slowly spoke.
"Take this sword to the continent of Aditya and find a man named Seres Gondar."
"And then?"
"Give the sword to him." Krees said slowly, "Only the blood flowing in his veins can awaken the power that resides on that sword. ”
"Why should I help you?" Jiang Feng shrugged his shoulders, "I'm different from your ancestors, even if the entire planet is destroyed in front of me, my emotions won't fluctuate in any way. If you think that all visitors from outside the world would be so enthusiastic about Captain Agris, or that a little girl who shoehorned it into me would give me some inexplicable bond with this strange planet, you'd be wrong. ”
"Emily has nothing to do with this, and I hope you can treat this as two things, and don't see her innocent as a bargaining chip in exchange for interests." Speaking in a sigh-like voice, Krees spoke slowly and continued, "Maybe you think that the life or death of the entire planet has nothing to do with you, but I still beg you to help us. At least until you can return to the stars like our ancestors, you and I face the same threat. You destroyed Solore's doppelganger, do you think his kind and his followers will simply let you go? ”
Jiang Feng fell silent.
After a long time, he tucked the sword under his cloak, looked into Kris's dark eyes under the canopy, and asked.
"How do I find him?"
"I'll let Leia go with you, and she'll help you find him."
Jiang Feng nodded, turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at Krees again, looking at the ancient tree that was about to go into hibernation.
"By the way, I have one more question for you, I don't know if it's convenient for you to answer."
"What other problem is inconvenient for an old man who is dying?" A gentle voice answered Jiang Feng's inquiry, a broad and hearty laugh floated from the canopy, and Krees slowly spoke, "Ask." ”
"You're actually human, aren't you?"
There was silence for about two seconds at the abrupt question.
Kreese replied slowly.
"Yes."
