Dia Hirsch thinks that everyone in the Green family should follow in their mother's footsteps and return to live in the elven race.

He believes that integrating into human society is a betrayal of his mother - after all, the Elven Empress [Mina Eric] at the time did not have a good relationship with the original Rose King [Victor Brian].

After the end of the [Battle of the Ragnarok], the leaders of these two races had completely opposite views on the issue of the civil war in the Cullen plane, and the friendship between the two also formed an indelible rift.

Because of this, the humans and elves quickly chose to part ways after defeating the Dragon Empire and the Titan Empire.

After the mysterious disappearance of the Elven Empress Mina and the sudden death of the original Emperor Victor, the relationship between the two races quickly fell to a freezing point.

The Cold War of nearly 100 years began.

And with the passage of time and the change of royalty, the number of human leaders who once fought together has gradually decreased.

After struggling to maintain peace for nearly a hundred years, the elves and humans finally caused a large-scale conflict between the two races because of a little friction!

The cause is that in a small town on the border between the two races, a human mercenary and an elven ranger are in a tavern, arguing with each other over who is more responsible for the Elven Empress and the first king in the battle of Ragnarok

Who would have thought that such a small contradiction would eventually cause a shocking war!

This battle between humans and elves lasted for nearly a hundred years, burning the entire continent and paying a huge price on both sides.

Magic and arrows fly together,

Elder Treant fights with legendary warriors,

Elven priests and human mages confront each other in the sky.

Countless lives were lost in battle, cities were razed to the ground, and land was destroyed beyond recognition.

The resentment and hatred between humans and elves reached its peak, and neither side was willing to show weakness and was determined to eliminate the other completely.

Deception, assassination, alliance, betrayal.

This battle is not only a physical confrontation, but also a mental war.

The intimate relationship between humans and elves breaks down, and what friendship and cooperation once existed is shattered.

Both sides accuse each other of betrayal and mistakes, and the fight between them becomes more and more fierce and cruel.

The cycle of this terrible battle lasted for nearly a hundred years, plunging the entire continent into deep fear and despair.

ultimately

This war between humans and elves ended in a crushing victory for the human side of the alliance with the orcs.

But even if the humans were victorious, the price they paid would still be terrible: the originally unified kingdom of roses was split in two.

Most of the war-weary humans chose to travel north to the Arctic Lands and established the Frost Kingdom.

With that, the strongest comradeship between humans and elves is gone, and only a deep hatred remains.

The remnants of the elves retreated to the ancestral land of the Ibby Forest with a large number of vassal races, and began to secretly support the power of the [Frost Kingdom], and finally the elves completely disappeared into the Karen continent a thousand years ago.

And Dia Hirsch, the ancestor of the Hirsch family, who has always held the idea of returning to the ethnic group, after a violent quarrel with the ancestor of the Green family.

In the end, the two who disagreed chose to part ways.

The Green family chose to take root in the royal capital, and accepted the third king's request for a knighthood, becoming one of the three duke families of Rose to this day.

And the other side

Dia Hirsch chose to lead three of his kindred away from House Green and create the original House Hirsch.

Refusing to stay in the crowded royal capital, they chose to travel to the distant forests of Ibby in search of the seventh Elven Empress, their ancestor, Mina Eric.

[It is worth mentioning that perhaps because of the blessing of the Elven Empress Mina, the ten children she took in at the beginning all had extraordinary talents, and Dia Hirsch was the most magical existence among them. 】

In this long journey

As Dia Hirsch revealed a powerful magical power far beyond ordinary humans again and again, the name of [Radiant Family Hirsch] became famous on the continent of Karen.

The special magical talent possessed by their clan has attracted the envy and covetousness of countless people.

At that time, everyone on the continent knew that as long as you married a woman from the Hirsch family, then your offspring's magical talent must be far beyond ordinary people!

And this special talent also laid the groundwork for the gloomy end of the Radiant Family in the future.

Speaking of which

Blue Dragon Warren gently picked up the brown wine bottle beside him and poured himself a glass of pale yellow thorn fruit wine.

"Would you like some?"

He shook the bottle in his hand with Ron.

"A little cup."

Ron hesitated, but finally chose to taste this desert specialty.

As for the Goddess of Death's rule that he should not drink alcohol as a minor?

I'm sorry, Ron said that he had temporary amnesia just now and didn't know anything~~~

Warren nodded, poured half a glass of thorn fruit wine into a palm-sized glass, and handed it to Ron, who was expecting it.

Then, with a tilt of his head, he drank all the remaining liquor from the bottle.

As the pale yellow liquor flowed down his throat, bringing a hint of spicy and sweet strange taste, Warren's eyes began to blur.

"I don't really like thorn wine."

He said suddenly.

Ron, who had just raised his glass, suddenly stiffened on his face, and put the glass back in his hand without leaving a trace.

Warren didn't notice Ron's movements.

His eyes were misty, and he looked at the blue back of the corner of the gate that was reprimanding everyone.

"It's Michelle's favorite, and I've loved it since she left."

"Michelle?"

Ron asked, confused, doesn't the name sound like a man, doesn't it?

Warren nodded, poured another sip of sea buckthorn fruit wine, and said slowly:

"Well, Michelle Hirsch is my partner's name."

"At the same time, she is also Julia's own sister."

"Whew—scare me."

Ron breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the glass again.

"Goodo"

This time, he finally tasted the unique and wonderful taste of thorn fruit wine.

And the old blue dragon also began to tell the past of the year.

There is no forever glorious family, just as there is no eternal dynasty.

The Hirsch family's search for the traces of the Elven ancestors is a doomed journey.

Because, when they rushed to the Ibi Great Forest through many dangers, that is, the former Elven Forest, they found that even the elves themselves did not know where the seventh Elven Empress [Mina Eric] had gone!

Of course, Dia Hirsch didn't believe in this kind of ghost story-like plot, and was even ready to fight in the Elven Holy Land because of this incident.

At that time, he had already been promoted to a demigod, and he was an absolute powerhouse in the top ten that could be ranked in the entire Karen!

You must know that Karen at that time was not like the gods and demigods now.

It was a glorious time when all races danced together and the gods came into the world.

And Karen's high-end combat power at that time can be said to be: legends are everywhere, and demigods are everywhere!

Being able to be promoted to the top ten in the continent in this era, Dia Hirsch's terrifying strength can be seen.

Just when the Great War is about to begin.

An old elf who had taken care of Dia in place of Mina when she was a child came forward and told the elven queen's adopted son some secrets of the year.

This is what made Dia Hirsch truly believe that the Empress had really disappeared into thin air.

The brutal truth makes all the pursuits of the Hirsch family seem like a joke.

A devastated Dia Hirsch ended up spending the rest of her life in a remote human town.

Before leaving the Ibby Forest, the old elf handed a vague map to Dia Hirsch.

The old elf confessed that the elven queen Mina did not leave any information back then, and disappeared into the deepest part of the World Tree.

But before that, she had secretly given the old elf a strange map and told her to keep it safe.

Mina instructed the old elves: You have to give this map to the first human who came to the elven land.

And Dia Hirsch was the first person to reach the Ibi Forest after the war between humans and elves!

It's a pity.

Until he disappeared, Dia Hirsch had never cracked the secret of the map.

"Wait!"

Ron interrupted Warren's speech with a sudden opening.

He frowned and asked suspiciously:

"Until you disappear? What does that mean? Dia Hirsch is also missing? ”

The blue dragon Warren looked at the shocked Ron in surprise, as if he was a little surprised by the solemn look on his face.

He thought back to his memories of the year, thought about it carefully, and then nodded affirmatively:

"That's right, Michelle told me back then, she never and never would lie to me."

After hearing this affirmative answer, Ron's pupils unconsciously shrank for a moment.

That's right!

Dia Hirsch also has no clear death record, but has mysteriously disappeared from Karen like other demigod powerhouses.

This is almost exactly the same as the way several demigod ancestors of the Green family, as well as the original [Sea Emperor] lady, disappeared.

These demigod powerhouses all suddenly disappeared without warning, and they didn't even leave any suicide notes or anything like that.

"Demigods. Disappearance coincidence? But it can't be such a coincidence, right? ”

Ron pondered the information he had received before, and felt more and more that there was no trace of demigods in the current Cullen plane, and it was far from being as simple as the withering of talents.

"Legendary. Promotions appear to disappear"

Ron pondered the deeds of these demigod powerhouses before and after they disappeared, and slowly organized them into a line.

His eyes widened suddenly, and a terrible conjecture suddenly came to his mind:

"It's like cutting wheat, let the legend grow in Karen until he or she grows into a demigod, and then stretch out his scythe to harvest it."

"Someone is hunting demigods on the Cullen plane!?"

The more Ron thought about it, the more he felt a chill in his heart.

According to the historical records of the Hirsch family and the Green family, this kind of "harvesting" operation has been going on for tens of thousands of years!

What kind of terrifying existence would do such a thing?

"Who is it, and what is the use of him harvesting these demigods?"

"And"

Thinking about it, Ron's heart suddenly sank.

Judging from the current indications, the demigods who disappeared from the Cullen plane are male and female, alien and human, but they all have one common trait - they have all reached the "demigod" rank.

And themselves. It seems that the conditions for this "harvest" have also been met, right?

Come to think of this

Ron narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to silently calculate in his heart what kind of power he needed to achieve in order to "harvest" himself in the main material plane.

After thinking about it for a long time, he came to a conclusion:

Unless nine dragon gods descended their avatars to attack themselves at the same time, Ron, who was in the main material plane, would definitely not be able to stop a demigod iridescent dragon who wanted to escape, even if he couldn't defeat the combined forces of the gods.

"It seems that we still have to have a good relationship with Bahamut and Tamara, if you want to find a helper at this critical moment, these two dragon gods are more reliable."

Ron looked down and thought about the enemies he might encounter in the future, and at the same time thought about whether he should contact "Lao Ba" and "Lao Ta" for a long time.

After all, these two are dragon gods who have made it clear that they are on their side, and it is never a bad thing to cultivate more feelings.

Ron's reflections didn't interrupt Warren's narration.

As the old blue dragon slowly narrated, time began to pass rapidly, and the Hirsch family gradually fell from the original Radiant Clan to a second-rate small family for various reasons.

Until more than a hundred years ago

"At that time, I was still a prime-aged blue dragon who lived in the dragon's lair and didn't like to come out, and in a cold winter, the current patriarch of the Hirsch family was attacked and killed, so this dying glorious family ushered in a catastrophe."

"Rival leaders have been detained on the heads of the Hirsch family on trumped-up charges and have carried out assassination sprees."

"When the whole family was forced to flee"

"To protect my younger sister, Julia's sister, my companion: Michelle Hirsch ran out of the family with her young sister in her arms, and chose to hide her in a corner of the forest, while she chose to lure away the pursuing assassins."

Speaking of this, the eyes of the blue dragon Warren seemed to appear in the eyes of the ordinary human woman who had panicked and resolute eyes when they met for the first time.

As for the rest of the story, Ron already knew most of it from the blue dragon outside Oracle Town on the spot, but Warren still said the story about Julia succinctly:

Pursued by the enemy, Michelle Hirsch accidentally falls into the lair of the Blue Dragon: Warren Rhodes.

Fortunately, Warren Rhodes is a strange guy who is different from ordinary dragons and likes to listen to songs and stories.

Relying on the elven ballads handed down from her ancestors, Michelle instantly touched the silent heart of the blue dragon Warren, who was still in the prime of life at the time.

He graciously invited the human girl to stay in his lair for a few days, and Michelle, under pressure to hunt and kill, could only agree.

The cohabitation of one person and one dragon began.

After an initial period of panic, Michelle soon discovers that the blue dragon is not as arrogant and ferocious as the legend suggests, but rather like a child addicted to music and stories, with a pure heart.

She told him about the outside world, told all kinds of stories,

In this process, the relationship between one person and one dragon also warmed up rapidly.

ultimately

Accompanied by Warren, Michelle Hirsch, who was in love, finally gave up her family hatred and chose to stay with the blue dragon Warren for the rest of her life.

And the other side

Her younger sister, Julia Hirsch, took the opposite path to her sister. (End of chapter)
