Chapter 67: The Suffering and Kindness of the Elves (Part II)
If there is demand, there will be a market, driven by the interests of human ****, more and more human mercenary groups have joined the ranks of capturing elves, and then returned to the human world to sell them as slaves, and they can be sold at a sky-high price every time, huge profits, making it a huge industrial chain, this movement of hunting and buying elf slaves has reached its peak hundreds of years ago, and has even reached a crazy level.

Because the fertility rate of the elves is too low, under the crazy capture of human beings, the population of the elves has decreased sharply, and the scope of survival has been continuously reduced, and they have to repeatedly move to the depths of the Warcraft Mountains or other more remote and barren places.
The elves were originally close to nature and a race that advocated peace, but the unscrupulous deforestation of human beings and the wanton hunting of them also directly led to the increasing hatred of the elves towards humans, especially when they learned that the trafficked elves were just reduced to the playthings of the nobles to vent their desires, without the right to procreate, and were sent back and forth as gifts among the nobles, and even if there was a hybrid of humans and elves, they would be drowned in the well by these humans just after birth, and the elves were finally completely provoked, so the greed and desire were endless, it became the least popular race at the top of the elven hatred list.
To be able to force the elves who are close to nature, peace-loving, and indisputable to the world to this role, the sins committed by human beings, and the cruel and almost genocidal crimes of the elves are indeed too numerous to mention.
At the same time, the elves are a somewhat pedantic race that adheres to the tradition, so in the later period, due to the increasingly serious differentiation of ideas, the elves were divided into two factions, one is still the traditional elves, although the evil deeds of human beings are also angry and hateful, but the elves advocate peace and have no quarrel with the world in their bones, so that they just blindly avoid or move the race, hide in the deepest part of the forest, and try not to contact with humans.
This kind of ostrich-like forbearance behavior is really a bit cowardly in Xie Yu's opinion.
But the other divided elven race advocated a strong counterattack and launched a crazy revenge against humans.
The only way this elf can deal with humans is to slaughter, as long as humans enter their territory, then what awaits humans is endless hunting,
Because each elf has a long lifespan, it can reach hundreds of years, and the elves, a race in the forest, in addition to being natural marksmen, are also natural magicians, and they are extremely good at natural magic.
Under this kind of crazy pursuit and revenge, if humans encounter this elf, there are really very few people who can escape from the forest with their whole body.
This group of elves that have splintered is called the fallen elves by humans and elves.
Although there is no difference in appearance from the traditional elves, the traditional elves believe that they have turned their backs on the traditions of the elves to love peace and nature, and to have no quarrel with the world, and have abandoned the beliefs of the elves, so they are regarded as outliers.
"It's just a cheap bone!"
This is Xie Yu's evaluation of the traditional elves when he heard the old mage say this, and this evaluation was also nodded in agreement by the old mage.
Although on the surface, it seems that these fallen elves encounter human beings regardless of whether they are good or bad, and they do not care about whether they are indiscriminate, and they are all directly killed, but from the perspective of the almost genocidal crimes that greedy and evil humans have done to the elves, this kind of practice is not too much in Xie Yu's opinion-when humans caught the elves to sell and vent, would they first ask how the elves' conduct was?
But Xie Yu, as a human being, no matter how much he couldn't agree with it in his heart, no matter how much he despised the greed and cruelty of human beings, it was impossible for him to say such a rebellious thing as thinking that human beings, their own race, were evil, inferior to beasts, and should be cut with a thousand knives.
This past history is really a bit long and complicated, and Xie Yu, as a human being, is indeed a little ashamed to talk about it.
I didn't know how to explain it for a while, Xie Yu was silent for a while, organizing the wording in his heart, and after a while, he faced Shrek and Robert, who also looked at him with doubts and inquiries, and said slowly: "This is actually very simple, these elves are different races from us, and now they look at us as if we look at pigs and sheep, will you put pigs or sheep on an equal footing with yourself?" What's more, the elves themselves are a race that is extremely proud and stubborn, and the pursuit of beautiful things has even reached a somewhat extreme level, any alien race, in their eyes, is afraid that it is only pigs and sheep......"
Robert and Sharo on his back listened to Xie Yu's story, and were bowing their heads and thinking hard about the relationship, but when Shrek heard that these hateful elves not only did not regard themselves as beautiful men, but regarded themselves as pigs and sheep, they couldn't help but feel angry in their hearts, and felt that their dignity had been greatly insulted. What's more, these pigs and sheep grew stronger, and even expelled and killed their owners, and even these masters became the playthings and venting tools of pigs and sheep, and were unscrupulously humiliated and exchanged as gifts, in exchange for you...... Do you have any kind looks like these pigs and sheep?"
"A race that has been bullied by humans to this extent can still save their own humans when they are patrolling by, although the attitude is not very good, alas...... But it's also really kind, it's a little incredible......"
Xie Yu let out a low sigh.
......
Robert and Sharo, it seems that they have never heard of the tragic history of the elf race, and it is no wonder that this history has passed for a long time, and the human world is naturally rarely mentioned, and it is naturally impossible for human beings to record the dirty things they have done in the books, so after hundreds of years, these past things are only mentioned by chance among the nobles, and when this history is turned out, these nobles are still proud and complacent.
The two knights still looked puzzled, not to mention the rough embryo Shrek who didn't understand anything at all, Shrek was about to ask, but saw the goddess Nicole in front of him turn her head back again, and at Shrek and the two knights who were full of doubts, she glared at her fiercely to stop it, preventing the three of them from continuing to ask, and then glanced at Xie Yu, who was muttering with his head down, and a hint of something different flashed in his eyes.
Xie Yu lowered his head absent-mindedly, and there were words in his mouth, so naturally he didn't see Nicole's eyes.
But there is another point, which Xie Yu and several others did not see, that is, the eight elves in front of them, obviously heard Xie Yu's self-talk, and their bodies seemed to tremble imperceptibly slightly, and the tall female elf led by these eight elves, the two pointed ears seemed to tremble lightly twice, but the trembling amplitude was also extremely weak, which was not easy to notice.
