"Isn't there anyone willing to help us defeat these filthy and rude barbarians, and is it going to be up to those stupid big men to rule the land and turn us all into their lowly slaves?" the elves almost despaired.

The war is increasingly going in a direction that is not good for the elves, who have been squeezed into the corners of the continent by the powerful offensive of the orc army.

On this day, suddenly someone came to the palace of the elves and knelt in front of the throne. The king of the elves looked down and saw that the man was the leader of the lowest race, the human race, and that he wore a ridiculous crown of woven blades of grass on his head, and fell to the ground trembling as before, with a look of terror on his face.

The Elven King struggled to restrain the anger in his heart, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why, lowly human leader, even you want to laugh at our temporary defeat?"

"No, no, no!" the king of mankind trembled, and said with a coquettish smile, "please do not misunderstand, great and wise king of the elves! How dare we laugh at the noble elves? ”

The Elves were overjoyed by the words of the King of Mankind, and the King of the Elves said happily: "Very good, wise humans, you have made the right choice! Yes, we will accept you as our allies to join this war, and when the war is over, you can end your current status as slaves and become the second race on the continent after the elves!"

"Thank you very much! but...... Great Elven King, we have a sincere request—our human strength is too weak for our teeth to leave a mark on the skin of orcs, and our weapons can't cut through their heavy armor, and we're afraid we can't do it—unless we can teach us some magic, and then we can help you. The body of the king of men prostrated himself on the ground and begged.

The elves were furious at the ridiculous proposal of the human race, "Despicable and ignorant race, how dare you delusionally learn such profound magical knowledge, and to do so is to defile divine magic!"

But the elves, who were already in despair, finally accepted the humans' offer. Because what they say is true, and that's the only hope for the elves. Humans are not strong enough to compete with orcs, and learning magic may make them stronger.

Thanks to the addition of humans, the elves gradually stabilized their positions and strengthened their battle lines. Although the strength of human beings is weak individually, they have a huge advantage, that is, they are extremely numerous, even more than the combined population of the three intelligent races of elves, orcs, and dwarves combined. Although the orcs are powerful, they have to be exhausted and anxious in the face of the human army that sneaks up and harasses them everywhere.

Humans began to practice magic. As time passed, humans gradually mastered some basic magic, their strength gradually grew, and the balance of war began to tilt in the direction of the elf-human alliance.

But the speed at which humans cultivate magic is far beyond the imagination of the elves. They worked all year round, and the physique they cultivated when they fought each other, although not comparable to the elves, was also quite strong. And they have very dexterous hands, they are skilled in the use of weapons, and most importantly they are numerous. The human army has grown rapidly and at an astonishing rate in a short period of time.

The alliance of elves and humans grew in morale as a result of successive victories, seizing land after land, while the orcs retreated. The snobbish dwarves also took the opportunity to betray the orcs and join the powerful alliance, using supplies and weapons to obtain more benefits from the alliance. Humans have grown stronger with the elaborate armor and sharp weapons provided by the dwarves. At this point, even without an elven army, humans can fight off the orc army alone.

In this case, the elves may be uneasy even if they win the war. They sensed that humanity had become uncontrollable. But the elves still didn't worry about this until the last moment. They believe that human beings, who are as despicable as garbage, will not betray them. Not to mention, the war with the orcs was already in sight, and they didn't have time to worry about it, but at the same time, humans were gradually beginning to cultivate higher levels of magic.

The war ended in a complete defeat for the orcs, who were driven to the cold plateau and forced to sign a humiliating treaty to survive. But as he was leaving, the Orc King turned back to the Elven King and sneered, "Do you think you've won? Ridiculous elves! Look at the pets you raised, I'm going to see how you can control them?" Do you think the victory is yours?"

The elves have also noticed the threat from the humans, but they have no way to suppress them until the end of the war, and now the elves are going to start limiting the size of the human army.

However, of course, the human beings who have mastered the secrets of magic will no longer be willing to be enslaved, and the human beings, whose ambitions have already been inflated, immediately launched a rebellion, and the rebellion is launched simultaneously in various parts of the world, and it is obvious that they have been preparing this plan for a long time.

A duel of magic shook the land, but the war for land dominance may have been doomed from the start. Although the elves possessed more advanced and esoteric magical knowledge, their absolute numerical inferiority gave humans an overwhelming advantage from the beginning. After paying a huge number of casualties no less than the total population of the elves, the elves were finally defeated, and they could only flee to the base located deep in the forest, relying on the terrain of the forest and the magical power of the World Tree to barely resist.

The human army was held back from the forest by the magic wall built by the elven magicians, and the war was pointless at this point, as the humans had won the final victory, and they had taken over the vast majority of the land as the undisputed new overlords. In this battle for land supremacy, humanity has emerged as the ultimate victor.

Perhaps no one could have imagined that the final outcome would be like this, that the once lowly slave, the failed creation of the dark gods, the lowliest race, would eventually become the ruler of this world.

Is this the mockery of fate? No one knows. ”

The silence around was suffocating, and the elven girl Mimiyuria, with her long blue hair, seemed to be in deep thought, and the corners of her eyes faintly glistened with tears.

As I listened to the man's story, the night became darker, but there was no sound of sandworms, no branches swaying in the wind, the wind stopped, the sand no longer flew, and the world seemed to stand still.

All around him was the sound of the crowd breathing and the crackling of the campfire, as if the entire mountain was holding its breath and listening to his story.

"Isn't it surprising that the lowest race, the human race, has become the ultimate overlord of the continent? But this is the result of human willpower, and even the gods did not expect the fact that human beings have become the rulers of the land. As for the story after the human race ruled the continent...... That might not be what I'm supposed to talk about. ”

With that, the bard put away his pipe and slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping over the crowd and landing on the blonde wizard girl for the last time. This time, he looked at it for a long time, and tears seemed to quietly flow from the corners of his eyes. But he didn't say anything more, just let out a long sigh, turned and disappeared into the endless night.

The same as when he appeared.

It's as if it never existed.

Linya could feel his gaze on her, and she seemed to vaguely understand something, but she kept her head down and remained silent. Her heart suddenly went into chaos, and countless strange thoughts came to her mind together, leaving her overwhelmed and at a loss. In the past, when she was called the "Moon Goddess", she just had a certain joking mentality, with a girl's instinctive vanity to acquiesce to this identity and play the world. Yes, the essence is an instinct of vanity.

But the truth may not always be what she thinks, and she is unlikely to accept such a so-called "fact". Her sanity was more willing to believe that it was just a story. Yes, it's just a story that people have imagined...... Just like the god of the earth, the Buddha Nuwa......

The crowd gradually dispersed, and only Linya was left by the campfire still thinking about something, in fact, her thoughts had already flown nine days away, and even she didn't know what she was thinking again. Mimiyulia and Macriel looked at her worriedly, but they didn't dare to disturb her thoughts. After a long time, Suzanne finally couldn't bear it anymore, gently took Linya's hand, and whispered softly in her ear, "Sister Linya......"

"Huh?" Linya finally came to her senses and looked at the dwarf Lori, the elf girl, and Susanna, who were looking at her with concern. "Uh...... I'm sorry I'm wandering again?"

"Alright. Sister Linya, it's late, it's time for us to go back and rest. Suzanne said, but Linya could hear some emotion in her tone, and she was clearly confused.

Get along with each other day and night, of course, they already know each other very, very well.

Linya thought about it and made a decision, grabbed Susanna, who was about to get up, and said, "Sister Susanna, please wait." I know you must still be confused by what the wizard Heslan said, why does the moon shine when it has a dark side? I think...... Since I know the real reason, it is necessary for me to tell you why, Sister Mimiyuria, Sister Macriel, and listen to it together. It might be a bit esoteric and jerky, but I'll try to be as plain as possible. ”
