As Alain Desman sailed to the continent of Shemo with an army of 100,000 High Elves, she remembered the afternoon when her father, Saurendor Desman, took her fifteen-year-old to the funeral of her brother Mick Desman more than a thousand years ago. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It was raining lightly, the sky was gray, and the whole city of Elton was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. Alan Wen held her father's hand, grief and loss of magic made the Elven King look much older than usual, and behind them stood hundreds of elven soldiers and more than a dozen members of the royal family. Alan Wen learns from others that Mick was killed by a human who surrendered to Santan on the front lines of the war. Mick was once the lord of Elton City, and he was very popular with the people here, which is why they chose to hold a funeral for him here.

Mick Desman's tomb is located to the north of the Salem district, just a wall away from the Volker district, which had been reduced to wasteland in the black light more than a decade earlier. Alan Wen liked Mick's brother very much, Mick was obsessed with gem minerals and always brought her some crystal clear stones in the past, of course she didn't understand the preciousness of gems when she was young, she just liked their color. As for humans, Alan Wen had only heard her father say that humans were an inferior race, and they were only worthy of being servants and laborers for high elves. She didn't have any special feelings for humans at first, firstly because she was only five years old when the war broke out, and secondly, because she had been with her father for many years and had little chance to see humans. However, after Mick was killed by humans, she developed an emotion for humans for the first time, and that emotion is called hatred.

Alan Wen heard that the one who killed her brother was the advisor of the Human Resistance Army, and that the human race had relied on him to resist until today in the past ten years, and of course it was also related to the failure of the Black Stone's ability. The Black Stone was found by Mick on the outskirts of Elton City, and he used this mysterious stone to kill the humans of a city in an instant, if this ability is used in the war, I am afraid that the war will be over before it begins, and this is what Alan Wen heard from his father. People say that the murderer is the human, but the maestro next to Mick doesn't think so. Alan Wen learns that his name is Randolph Sulrim, and according to his father, he is a descendant of the demigod Sulrim, who arranged for him to assist Mick. This Randolph said that the human was wronged, and insisted that there were ghosts among the high elves, and even made a big fuss at Mick's funeral, and was finally blasted out by her father.

"You have to trust me! there are dark elves among us! their purpose must be the black stone we have acquired, this black stone is our powerful weapon until we have the heart of Sylim, and we must not let them succeed!" Randolph shouted at the funeral.

"Dark elves, aren't those guys in the underworld, how can they come here!, although I know that you have a crush on humans, but you don't want to despise the royal family in order to help that human exonerate!" said a female royal elf, "and the heart of Sullim, that's just a legend!"

Randolph's love for humans is well known among the High Elves, and it is said that he strongly discouraged Mick from experimenting with humans throughout Elton City. It is said that he was brainily corrupted by humans, and constantly advocated the "dark elf threat theory" among the high elves, but those guys have not been on the ground for tens of thousands of years. Although Randolph Celem is a maverick in human affairs, he is still reused by the Elven King Saurendor Desman, and the reason for this is not known to Alan Wen, as for the "Heart of Celem" he mentioned, her father told her that it is the supreme holy object of the Elven legend, and if the legend is true, possessing it will have the whole world.

Now, in an unknown sea, more than 100 warships are connected and sailing mightily. Alain Desman stood at the bow of the ship, dressed in the elaborate emerald glass armor, which, unlike Isabella's, was fully enveloped, with only her head exposed. Her right hand gently brushed her fluttering silver hair behind her ears, and the pair of pointed ears looked like a pair of wings glued to the sides of her cheeks, exuding a smart vitality.

Alan Wen looked at the sea, she still remembered her father's death half a month ago, she was finally alone, all her relatives had left her, and the culprit of all this was human. Although Randolph is still in the company of humans, he is not as crazy as he was then, perhaps it was the death of his little sister Isabella that changed him and made him realize the nature of human beings. He has been lurking in the human kingdom for many years, instilling in them the minds of the elves and guiding them to adopt the elven culture, in order to eliminate their hostility towards the high elves and make them incapacitated in the event of another war in the future. So far, he's done pretty well.

Six years ago, Randolph claimed to have obtained definitive evidence of the location of the Heart of Selim, shattering the rumor that it was only known to the Elven King Saurendor Desman in addition to Randolph himself. According to him, the Heart of Selim is located in the Abyss of Zeller, where the dark elves are located, and Randolph has been building underground cities for many years in preparation for an attack on the underworld, which is not unlike what he said about the humans, but the humans of the Hemo continent do not think that they themselves will also be the target of purge.

"What the hell is this guy Randolph scheming, the information of the two invaders has already informed him, with his ability and prestige in that country, it should not be difficult to find those two humans, but why hasn't he reported the situation so far? After Isabella's incident, he should no longer trust humans, but some people say that he also secretly taught elven magic to humans on the continent of Himo, which is a very serious betrayal. It seems that we can only meet him first. Alan Wen thought to herself.

"Aunt Alan Wen, the soul stones that keep the fleet invisible are running out, are you ordering the Arcane team to use manpower to maintain them?" A young male elf walked behind Alan Wen, his hair was different from Alan Wen's silver, but half black and half white from the middle of his head, his complexion was not as pure as his aunt, the green was much darker, and anyone who saw the two of them together would not think that they would be relatives to each other.

"No need, the Arcane team needs to preserve its strength to deal with the next war, it has been sailing for half a month, and the rest of the voyage will take less than a few days, so it doesn't hurt to let those humans know!" Alan Wen didn't look back, still staring at the seemingly calm sea, "By the way, contact Randolph again, and ask him to spread the news among that group of humans, saying that our target is the dark elves, so that they can live more peacefully." In addition, the scholar was asked to draft a formal letter to be sent to the human king of St. Lucas, who, after all these years of ideological transformation, believed that most of the human race in that country had become unwary of us. ”

"Yes, I'll do that!, but I have one more question for you......

"What's the problem? Say it, Robbie!"

"The main purpose of this war is not to wipe out humanity, is it?"

"What do you think of humanity, Robbie?" Alan Wen didn't answer his question directly, but asked him.

Robbie's face changed when he heard this question, and his eyebrows were squeezed together with anger: "Humans have killed my family, and brutally slaughtered my adoptive father, Rip Desman, this revenge is not shared, I will not let them have a good time!"

"I had this emotion of hatred more than a thousand years ago, but the reason for this war was not to avenge my father and my brothers, nor to break in because of the two humans. We have been preparing for this war for a long time, but we have been waiting for a suitable moment, a reason to unite everyone, and those two humans who killed our father provided us with such a condition. ”

"Did you take advantage of Lord Desman's death?"

"War and politics are not as simple as you think, everything is for the ultimate good, in order to win the heart of Serim, which is worth our lives!"

"Heart of Cerrim...... This thing is really ......," Robbie shook his head as he stepped back to follow Alan Wen's instructions.

Alan Wen looked at Robbie's back as he left, and she remembered the first time Robbie appeared in front of her. It was five years after Mick's death, on her twentieth birthday, when her eldest brother, Rip Desman, whom she rarely saw on weekdays, returned from the front. He returned with a skinny three-year-old boy with him, whose dark green complexion and tattered outfit let people know that he could not be of aristocratic origin. Rip told them that the child's father was his subordinate, that his mother had died after giving birth to him, and that his father had died in the recent Battle of Natole, and that Rip had promised the child's father to adopt him as an adopted son, named Robbie Patler.

For Rip's brother, Alan Wen has never had many stories to recall, because until he was killed by humans, Alan Wen had only seen him no more than ten times in those decades. Before the war with the humans broke out, the six sons of the Elven King Saurendor Desman were all entrusted with the task of managing several important cities on the continent, but of these six, Rip was an exception. He was naturally impatient with tedious management and had no interest in being the lord of the city, he only loved to fight, and loved the killing and the collision of swords on the battlefield. So he asked his father for his life, led his troops to fight, and incorporated more continents into the territory of the High Elf Kingdom, and these are all stories that Alan Wen heard from his father.

After the outbreak of the war with humans, Rip resolutely rushed to the front line of the war, and the battles he participated in have rarely been defeated over the years, even in the face of the mysterious human army advisor, he has been able to turn the corner many times. However, he eventually died at the hands of humans. It was forty years after the war, and due to the short life span of humans, the leaders of the rebels had changed twice, and the hero of Wally, Stonearm, had long since passed away, but the mysterious advisor was said to be still alive. After forty years of fighting, the increasingly powerful human army has formed a separating trend with the elven army, each occupying half of the territory of the north and south of the Hemo continent, and this situation has not been broken in the five years since its formation.

Rip was the first to break the deadlock.
