Chapter 10: The Death of the Elven King, the Revelation of the World Tree
In the small cabin, Zeng Chizheng was full of sighs and nostalgia as he told the secret of their departure, but the two listeners seemed to be fascinated, and they seemed to be a little skeptical about the huge impact of the blood elves' departure that he had said earlier.
Zeng Chi paused, but continued to sigh.
"The Elven Knight Race, which is our current Blood Elf Race, has left with hatred in desperation, which has greatly damaged the vitality of the Elven Raceβalthough we are the outliers among the Elves, but also because of the small number of people who only have ancestral beliefs like us, we have always been the weakest pole of the three elven legions. However, the bloody struggle that has been waged has also made our people, although they do not agree with our views, but generally maintain enough respect for us. β
"Our exodus eventually led to a small part of the elven clan who had always supported us a lot, and even the clan began to be extremely disappointed in the royal family. Since then, they have lived in seclusion in the mountains, and they have not even been in contact with the outside world, but have occasional contacts with us - this is also the origin of our series of intelligence, and the best support point for our current intelligence work. β
β¦β¦
And on the other hand. The elves have since lost their most elite legion of elemental knights. Only the Elven Ranger Legion, which relies on nature, jungle warfare, and archery, and the Druid Legion, which relies on the magic of life to transform itself, charge into battle, and self-rehabilitation, are the two legions that believe in the Cult of Nature and Life. β
"What's more, they have also lost the strongest combat power to maintain neutrality and deterrence between the Goddess of Life Cult and the Goddess of Nature Cult - it is the existence of our Elven Knight Legion that makes the struggle between the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Nature Cult fierce, but it only involves politics, and it also maintains sufficient restraint, and there is never the slightest smell of blood."
"The struggle between the Goddess of Life Cult and the Goddess of Nature Cult has gradually become fierce because of our departure, and the Ranger Legion and the Druid Legion, who have been competing with each other, have begun to dissociate, and there is even more faint tension."
β¦β¦
"However, the previous generation of elven kings did not seem to repent, but instead played the trick of political balance again - in view of the situation that the two religions in the country were faintly out of balance due to our departure, he tried his best to curb the development of the Goddess of Life Cult, and after discovering that it was difficult to curb it, he abandoned the neutrality of the royal family for the first time and declared his belief in the Goddess of Nature Cult."
"A fool who makes a mistake and then drinks to quench his thirst."
Xie Ning suddenly said in a low voice.
"Yes, idiot."
Zeng Chi also looked at him, nodded in agreement.
β¦β¦
"Of course, this has greatly strengthened the Goddess of Nature Cult, so that although they have lost our deterrence, they can also compete with the Goddess of Life Cult, and the domestic political situation will return to balance."
But what he didn't expect was that from then on, the royal family would have become chess pieces from chess players. And the Goddess of Nature Cult, which had been over-strengthened by royal power, expanded faster than he expected. β
"When he realized his mistake and became even more involved in the struggle between nature and life, he finally found that it was impossible for him to renounce his faith in this country where the two goddesses were worshipped so much......
Zeng Chi sighed lowly.
β¦β¦
"A few years ago, the mysterious death of the previous generation of elven kings made everyone in the elven empire furious after reacting to it - you know, it is impossible for the elves to have such a strange death, because the relationship between the life sites in our soul spiral, unless it is an unexpected and unpredictable event, every elf can roughly perceive his death, that is, the time when the primordial life demon energy is exhausted."
"And even if you don't die, you will age rapidly in the year before you die."
But the Elven King didn'tβhe died inexplicably. No one knows the cause of his death, and his body has been preserved by the elves in its original form through the secret method of life, pending analysis. But this matter has already caused an uproar among the elves. β
β¦β¦
"The Goddess of Nature, which has become a behemoth, accuses the Goddess of Life Cult of murder of the Elven King. Their reasons are also very sufficient, it is the support of the royal power represented by the elf king that the Goddess of Nature Cult will override the Goddess of Life Cult, and it is reasonable to say that the Goddess of Life Cult hates the Elf King. β
The Cult of Life, on the other hand, argued that even if the Elven King overwhelmingly supported the Cult of Nature, the Cult of Life would only swallow their anger, and even if they wanted to plot against the Elven King, they wouldn't have to wait until the Cult of Nature was so large to start calculating, right? Is it still useful to calculate at this time? β
β¦β¦
"That makes sense...... Shainin, what do you think? β
Yang Linkai, who had been fascinated by the hearing, suddenly smacked his lips and sighed, he looked at Xie Ning, who seemed to have been pondering something.
"Meet...... There is too little information to be able to judge. The situation that Brother Zeng said is incomparably like he killed, not a natural death. But this must also be determined through scientific psychic testing - otherwise, the world of magical energy is too vast, and the devil knows whether this bizarre event is inevitable or accidental? β
"And if not a natural death...... Then I don't think it's possible for the Goddess of Life Sect to murder the Elven King - they're right, is it still useful for them to murder at this time? Is it still an act of retaliation? Then they can only say that they are brain-dead. β
Xie Ning frowned.
β¦β¦
"But the Goddess of Nature Cult is not so stupid as to kill the Elven King who has been supporting him with all his might, and cut off his arm...... With the continued support of the royal power, I am afraid that they will completely overwhelm the Goddess of Life Cult and become the only state religion of the elvesβis that possible...... Is it a barbarian? β
Yang Linkai asked curiously again.
"Impossible."
Shainin suddenly shook his head affirmatively.
"The barbarians' goals have always been mountains and seas, and they have also made a non-aggression pact with the elves. At that time, they were also preparing for World War II with us in the mountains and seas. So, it doesn't make any sense for them to do so, and it's more likely to be extraneous. β
"And the starry body of the previous generation of elven kings, without the presence of the barbarian gods, how could they kill him quietly? Not to mention, even a barbarian god...... I'm afraid you can't kill a star quietly, right? β
He looked at Zeng Chi inquiringly and asked.
β¦β¦
Zeng Chi suddenly nodded approvingly: "It's impossible for barbarians. But if it is an internal thief, who is that internal thief, and which side does it represent? The bitheistic religions have so far accused each other of being murderers, and have even analyzed the cause of death several times - but they don't have our magic technology system, where can they analyze? β
So, they had nothing to do but pray to the World Tree of Life for revelation. You don't know that the World Life Tree, as the largest artifact of the elven race, has all kinds of other wonders while possessing the holy water of life and the tender branches of the World Tree. For example, early warning. β
"It even gave an early warning when the barbarians invaded last time - this is also the reason why the barbarian god led his subordinates to raid the royal court directly after they suddenly appeared, but they happened to encounter the strong people of the elf clan."
β¦β¦
"That's why the elves have always believed in the revelations that the World Tree of Life always leaves behind after prayer."
"But now the revelation of the World Tree of Life doesn't work - the Cult of Nature claims that the Tree of Life is the king of nature, but it has always been under the control of the Cult of Life, and the devil knows if they have played tricks?"
"So, on the one hand, they are trying to control the World Tree of Life, and on the other hand, they are also vetoing the revelation left by the World Tree of Life - that is also a strange statement."
Zeng Chi said slowly, but when he said this, his face was strange again.
"What?"
Yang Linkai suddenly asked curiously.
β¦β¦
"The last time we heard a message from a deep mountain tribe, this is an ancient elven language, Himedor, Elutaran, Kampariviki. Translated, it is - decay and dust, life and nature, all beings and the first thorn on the scepter of the king of the world. β
Zeng Chi recalled in deep thought.
"What the hell is this......
Yang Linkai muttered suddenly.
β¦β¦
"Yes, we don't know, but decay and dust, life and nature, as if describing the cult of nature and the cult of life. Of course, both theistic religions say that the other is the first target of the other word. β
The people of the Elven Empire, on the other hand, attach more importance to the latter sentence, which they generally interpret as being intended for the young son of the Elven King, who has already lost his popularity due to a series of mistakes by the Elven King, and it is possible that he will be called a thorn. And his young son, who is about to inherit the throne, has to remove the thorn before he can master the staff of royal power? β
So they were overjoyed, but they all agreed with this sentence and put the young son on the throne - but the young son didn't show anything special...... In addition to perfectly inheriting the Star Shine Soul Vein - how old is he, and is he still the king of the world? β
"His Majesty Kael'thas and His Majesty Illidan are the only two people in the elven race who are called the two greatest kings of the elves, and His Majesty Kael'thas is still ranked before His Majesty Illidan, and my future achievements in at least the magic war will probably be no less than or even higher than that of His Majesty Kael'thas - but I don't dare to think that I will be the king of any beings and the world. That little kid who is still drinking milk? Shh β
Zeng Chi said with some disapproval.
β¦β¦
"That's weird...... Is this revelation accurate? All beings and the king of the world? I said, we're not going to rush to become the stepping stone to fame for some shit......"
Xie Ning muttered with a sneer.
"If you want to pad, he will also pad the feet of his brothers."
Yang Linkai immediately retorted with interest.
"If you want to say, Xie Ning, you have more hope of becoming the king of the incomparably popular - all beings, you have a small hot pot at home, he must be an incredible existence in the starry sky. And then Brother Zeng's family still has Ao, Brother Zeng also represents the blood elves, as well as us humans, so many races are now under your leadership......"
"And the world, there is no space demon to control, talk about a ghost world."
"If Lele and I think about it, we must think that you are the one to whom the revelation is pointed."
He said gleefully.
β¦β¦
"Fuck off, the elves don't know me, and the World Tree of Life is magical enough to know me? Are you good at being scientific? Do you really think that you and Lele are prophetic emperors? β
Xie Ning glanced at Yang Linkai again with a smile.
"That's really embarrassing, wasn't your Su Su predicted by us in the first place? Don't believe it, it's not that your brothers predicted that you have been nervous, if you go a little late, Su Su will be gone! β
Yang Linkai retorted with a fluttering eyebrow.
Zeng Chi and Xie Ning glanced at each other, but they shook their heads with a smile at the same time, and Xie Ning's eyes overflowed with a trace of longing and worry.
β¦β¦
I don't know what happened to Susu...... I don't know if I can bring her back the Holy Water of Life...... I don't know if the holy water of life can work - why do you want so much gossip? It's still the right thing to do.
Whoever I lose, I can't lose Susu...... What kind of bullshit king, as long as it doesn't block my brother's way to take the holy water of life, it's my business...... However, the elven situation that Brother Zeng mentioned now seems to be even more strange when it is extremely grim with the involvement of barbarians......
Damn, it's so complicated, how do we get started?
The young man thought silently, but then, he fell into deep thought about the secret of the elf clan that Zeng Chi had revealed. (To be continued.) )
