Chapter 123: The Origin of the Fairies
No one knows when the rumors first spread, and by the time Gru found out something was wrong, the Emerald Scales had already begun to fall into disarray, just as they had since its opening. Even the traffic of the "From the Abyss" grocery store next to it has been greatly affected.
To put it simply, this is a credit crisis caused by the malice of people with ulterior motives.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the elves of Garlanor are not as easily deceived by false information as the populaces of the other world. Of course, this is most likely because the people who spread the false and negative news about Andrarui are not as professional as the rumor-mongers in the other world.
Like the legendary gods and monsters, they have countless wings and legs, fruits that are artificially injected with hormones, miracle drugs that can prevent and control various high-risk epidemic viruses, and so on. Perhaps because the development of science and technology has exceeded the ability of the general public to accept, a few simple images and some specious statements are enough to make people agree with some rumors that seem like a fantasy. However, these ignorant people often think that their knowledge has completely left the people around them behind, but they do not know that their "extraordinary" ability to accept new things is a direct manifestation of their lack of understanding of reality.
In that era when everything from video entertainment to human faces could be arbitrarily modified by various means, the explosive development of communication technology made people's lives extremely convenient, and at the same time, it also spread a lot of conspiracies and dross.
When the bird plague was active, no one dared to stretch out their chopsticks for the boiled ducks on the table, and some of the so-called mountain delicacies that lived in a primitive environment attracted those who boasted extraordinary style. They don't understand that once raw food is made into mature food, most of the germs in it will be completely killed, and the few spores that may have escaped will not even be able to break through the human immune defense. However, people smell the color of chickens because of some contact with live poultry and slaughterers infected with the disease, and instead talk about those rare and rare animals that carry all kinds of unknown germs.
Similarly, there is an attitude towards food culture. China's neighbor Neon people advocate enjoying the most original and unique taste and flavor of fresh food, which is naturally related to the fact that they have been a big country in marine fishery resources since ancient times. But if it is in the middle of China, not every city has the conditions to enjoy these rich resources.
However, in order to pursue the so-called style, people will artificially eliminate these difficulties and create such conditions, but they do not know how many pathogens and parasites that are harmful to human health are contained in the fresh water that grows in ponds, lakes, rivers and even breeding farms. Even neon food, which is made from the sea, is eaten with ingredients such as mustard sauce, which can be sterilized and sterilized. However, people who are keen on foreign cultures often can't tell the difference between good and bad, but they will resolutely resist the parts of their own food culture that may harm their health.
The spread of rumors stems from half-understood self-righteousness, but fortunately, the elves of Garlandia have their own value judgment standards that are difficult to shake because they have far more insight and experience than other intelligent races on the continent.
Therefore, when the demon conspiracy theory about the appearance of food carrying chronic curses and evil witchcraft in the Elven King spread, most of the elves who have experienced the emerald fish scales firsthand maintain a wait-and-see attitude - the elves who have personally tried the alien flavor are reluctant to believe this kind of catch-after theory, but because of the bad sense of the demons that they have maintained for hundreds of years, they have to make a more conservative choice.
It is better to believe that there is something than to believe that there is no truth. It's just that many of the "fools" that Andre knows are simply in a state of "believing what they are", and are unwilling to spend time and energy to make a deeper understanding of those specious things.
However, because of their inexplicable sense of superiority, they will spread these hearsay and unverified information to the people around them...... So all kinds of rumors have the soil to take root and sprout.
If someone tells Andhrarius, the Child of the Abyss, that his "Golden Leaf" and "Silver Shield" have been counterfeited, he may try to make a deeper understanding of the source of the information. But if someone told him that someone was making a lot of copies of "Copper Ambi", Andrei's first reaction would only be that it was a simple joke, or that the person who made the decision had some special reason or difficulty—such as being born with a pit in his brain, a big brain, and so on.
Whether it is the material cost of "Appi" or the level of processing technology, it has far exceeded its own value, thankless not to imitate gold and silver coins, what the hell is this picture for? Idle and bored and have a fever in your brain!?
So, when Mana, who was flapping her transparent wings, and her friends came to the door of the increasingly deserted Emerald Fish Scales, and asked Gru to persuade others to correct the name of the alien restaurant with her own health in return, the goblin who didn't know how to reply directly reported to the children of the abyss, who had taken a leave of absence from school and patiently considered countermeasures at Andhrari's office in Garanord.
Fairies are a very special kind of life. Their life forms are somewhat similar to Appi's, but their origins are slightly different.
The intelligent life on Galandia has not yet escaped the protection and shackles of its home planet to explore the vast world beyond this land. But their understanding of the other world is no less than that of earthlings.
That's because there are many subtle connections between this world and other worlds that cannot be explained by the "common sense" of another world.
Except that the passage has been sealed, and there is no talk about the demon realm that Galandia is about to leave. There are two other great worlds that are known and more closely connected to Garlandia - the destination of all souls, the eternal and unchanging kingdom of the dead, the underworld. and the source of all kinds of natural magic, the elemental realm full of chaotic power, the spirit world.
The origins of almost all elves can be traced back to the mysterious elemental plane. In their homeland, each "former" elf is a high-order elemental life with basic intelligence and an independent personality. Although to many powerful elemental beings, they are both "one" and "ten thousand". And the goblin who is not amazing in appearance and is no more than a slap tall is the best in that chaotic world.
However, individuals with intelligence and emotions like them are rare in that world full of chaotic energy, and many low-level elemental beings only have the simplest instinct to seek advantage and avoid disadvantage, and it is not so rare for elemental beings to have independent consciousness.
At the very least, their proportion of elemental life is not comparable to that of Garandia's intelligent life in the total number of vertebrates.
When two elemental beings who are too powerful meet, a strange phenomenon often occurs between them that the elves have not been able to describe in detail so far. The stronger one will devour and absorb the weaker one, and then become a new individual who inherits the memories and emotions of both parties.
At the end of this strange life evolution process, the elves called the "superior elemental elves", although the name has the word elf, but that is only because those unique beings have the ability to change their form at will, and transform into a human form that is more beautiful and powerful than the elves.
Among the other peoples of Garlandia, they also have a more widely known name - "God of the Elements".
Because this kind of life system is completely different from flesh and blood, if elemental beings continue to move forward according to their predetermined destiny, then they will only have one final result, and that is to become part of the "gods". It's like a river that flows into the sea.
Not all elemental beings aspire to be part of the Great Being, and some of them also desire independent lives and minds. As a result, the world dominated by flesh and blood such as Galandia and the Demon Realm became the best place for them to be reborn.
Due to the huge difference between the spirit realm and the material plane, many beings who are particularly powerful in the Elemental Realm are unable to retain their original form intact after coming to this world. Just as creatures in the deep sea cannot adapt to the "low pressure" in the terrestrial environment, it is difficult for elemental life to adapt to the material world without strong "spiritual pressure". Fortunately, their body is made of "energy", so when their strength is not enough to maintain their original size, it is not impossible to throw away some of the magic that has become a burden.
But in the long run, they have only two very different choices before them.
Staying in a place in the material world, such as the Molten Heart suitable for the survival of the fire elemental, and the heavy cloud barrier full of violent electric energy, in those places they continue to make their souls and powers more and more solid and powerful, and eventually become "elemental elders" who are independent of the spirit world and can move freely in the material world to some extent.
Others, who are attracted to the mortal world or have not found a suitable environment, will choose to transform into flesh and blood that is more adapted to the physical world. Those who are pure in wisdom will choose to lurk in the mother body of wild beings, and merge with the newborn young souls into a completely separate individual.
They are the first generation of mysterious creatures born in the material world, Warcraft.
And the very few who have advanced intelligence and rich emotions will choose the more difficult way. They are unwilling to give up all the joys and sorrows they have experienced before, they are not willing to merge with the newborn weak souls, and they will abandon the redundant powers that they cannot control in this world in the process of trekking through mountains and rivers, and seek a mysterious place suitable for them to reshape their flesh and blood.
And the elven royal capital in the Whispering Forest, the World Tree City of Garanord is one of the most suitable places for them to shape their bodies in the entire Garlandia continent! Let them go through the most delicate period of their lives smoothly, and then get a real sense of rebirth.
They are the strange beings who are all over Garanord, so kind and lovely that everyone likes them very much, and occasionally annoys people with their mischievous and nonsensical behaviors-elemental elves.
