Change it after it's not done
"Be able to determine...... This is really the place, isn't it?"
The brown-robed man in front of him raised his head, revealing half of his delicate face—a thin jaw, white with a hint of pink, so delicate that it seemed to reflect a halo, like the kind of fine glaze from the Otherworldly Big 6. And the gentle sound is also similar to the smooth and clear sound of the gentle tapping of porcelain.
It's just that in this beautiful voice, with a little impatience, a slender hand stretched out from under the burqa, as if to open the heavy long hood...... After a moment's hesitation halfway through, he took it back again.
"Yes, Lord Leia. According to the information we have received, the only person who can have such a force nearby and who is hostile to the Blackhawk family is the lord of the city, Edward Vincent, who is an apprentice of a certain ** master in the Magic Academy. The man in the other robe replied.
"Edward...... Hmph, what a vulgar name. If that's the real name of that cunning fellow!, I'm ......."
"Hello, traveler from afar, would you like to accept the blessing from Lady Bellena?"
A sudden gentle greeting interrupted Miss Leia's curse.
The speaker was a young woman standing under a pergola on the side of the street, bowing politely to the group, and then smiling sweetly: she handed over the gift in her hand.
The three men in the brown robes raised their heads in unison, staring at the stranger with some vigilance, and then noticed the simple gift handed by the other party—a small cup of water rolled up from the leaves of a palm-sized green rhombus tree, which contained clear drinking water. With some sweet fragrance and a slight coolness, a drink in this sunny time is indeed a good product that can relieve the fatigue of the journey, or rather, a blessing.
There were already three or four people on the side of the road enjoying this little blessing, so two of the three reached out and took it, and drank it all. There was only a woman named Leia. He didn't reach out to pick it up, just stood silent.
"If you need another drink, feel free. The girl who shared the drink smiled, gestured to the bucket behind her, and then asked, "How many people, have you heard of the name of the Dark Goddess?"
The two brown-robed men frowned slightly, but then looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time: "I'm sorry, I've never heard of this divine ......"
The behavior of the other party is not difficult to understand - in this plane. Promote the teachings of the gods you serve and expand the sphere of influence of your temple. It is the vocation of all pastors, of course. The temples of great gods such as the god of the sun, the god of justice, or the goddess of life generally do not carry out such simple propaganda, because their status in the human world is so deeply ingrained that only the churches with weak divine power will pay attention to such propaganda, which is also commonplace in some of the larger cities.
But darkness...... Goddess?
"The name of the goddess is inscribed in the darkness. Nature can only be heard by those who are close to the darkness, but please don't get me wrong, darkness does not mean evil, it is just a natural thing that has existed since ancient times, darkness exists in all things, it is a power that has existed since the beginning of heaven and earth. The fire will eventually be extinguished, people will die, everything in the world will eventually disappear, and it will melt into darkness. And darkness never harms anyone: on the contrary, it protects the weak and shelters us. Therefore, Belle Lena will eventually redeem this world. ”
The missionary girl smiled slightly, and read out a speech with enthusiasm and fluency, which had obviously been said countless times, but it only made the woman under the brown robe frown:
"Wait a minute, you...... Is it a half-human?"
"What?"
In the shadow of the hood, a pair of blue eyes stared at the girl who was dressed in a simple dress and hung a black insignia - she seemed to be a commoner, her slightly freckled face showed a healthy swar, and her smile was just as bright, but the ears were short, but one could notice the slender pointed ears under the silk.
"I'm asking, are you half-human......"
"I'm sorry, but which god are you referring to?"
The crisp and old voice raised her voice at the same time, and the older woman in the brown robe reached out to grab her companion, she raised her head, and smiled at the half-elf priest in a slightly old voice.
So the latter was stunned, and then said a recited word.
"Yes, Belllena is a god who has existed since the dawn of time, from the time when darkness existed in this world...... She taught us not to be afraid of the darkness, not to be afraid of the darkness, it has always been there for us, it has never hurt anyone, it will only quietly accompany us until the last moment of life, and even the last moment of all things, even if everything dissipates and turns into nothingness, what remains is darkness in the end. Therefore, we should accept the darkness, understand the darkness, and integrate into this darkness, which will be the final place for you and me......
Unfortunately, when the tone was over, the three men had already gone far away...... Fortunately, it seemed to be commonplace, and the Dark Lady's probationary priest was not discouraged, but only smiled politely, and stood back slightly, ready to speak again to the next unfamiliar face who walked by.
......
"Strange place, but Bellena, how do I seem to have heard of this name there?Goddess ......of Darkness?
The older woman in the brown robe muttered to herself as she walked, "It is certain that there is no such person among the existing worldly recognized deities. Bellena, the name seems to be related to a very old legend, but what is it, I seem to ...... I'm sorry, Lord Lea, I can't seem to remember. ”
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter to us whether it's a real god or not, in short, these weird minds of humans can accept anything strange, whether it's an evil god or a demon. The brown-robed man known as Leia raised his gaze, his blue eyes swept over the crowd around him: "Wutong, have you noticed?" There seem to be a lot of demihumans here?"
"Huh?" the questioner was stunned before he reacted to the other person's words: "Yes, Lord Leia, because the city has just begun to be built...... This place has recently become a gathering place for half-elves, and in the past two months, they have poured in on a large scale, and it is said that the lord here treats the blood of the people equally. ”
"Half-human? The survival of the catastrophe, the proof of the sins of humanity, is in our blood. But the cursed group of ah......" The woman known as Leia retracted her gaze and whispered to herself: "They should also have a jungle of their own, but now, they have to mingle with those beings who have given them a curse. Stupid!
"We are also human, Leia, and I can understand the elves' hatred of the sins committed by those humans, but not all of them are enemies of the elves, but most of them. It's just going astray, or not understanding the rules of nature. This can't be called evil. ”
The older woman spoke, with a wry smile: "Although I don't think this so-called lord has any ...... Well, good place, but at least as a lord, he seems to be pretty ...... Well, it's better. At the very least, his territory was much more prosperous than that of the Blackhawk family. I've never seen such a joyful and energetic crowd even in the city of the Lord of the Blackhawks. ”
"If he's really that guy. Isn't this qiē all based on his plundering of other people, and these people are just enjoying your so-called pleasure on the blood and sweat of others! No different from those hateful kobold robbers?"
The young elf, known as Leia, raised his voice a little: "And please don't forget jì, this qiē is built on the endless plundering of nature, endlessly, energetically, they are nothing but a bunch of hateful parasites!"
This voice attracted some curious glances, and the older woman sighed. No more openings.
The druids were in contact with nature, and in their communication they were better at listening than arguing, and for nature, the exhibition of human beings was indeed a kind of erosion of the pressing. Either way, it's incorrect......
And the woman named Leia raised her head, and looked through the long street.6 On the huge tower, the gloomy cyan appearance of the building, when approaching, seemed to exude a compelling momentum, which made people feel depressed,
"Strange place. Well, Sycamore, Aoyagi...... Looks like we need to stay here a few more days. She spoke.
"Yes, but ...... But Lord Lea, what the elders have asked us is to come and contact him, and give the elders a reply as much as possible......" The young man was stunned. But the question was immediately interrupted by his companion.
"I'm in charge of this, and I have my own judgment. ”
......
"I haven't seen you for many days, and Your Excellency Edward's career is getting thriving day by day, which is really the envy of the old man. ”
The old guy still looked in good spirits, with some red light on his face, and his face was full of spring breeze.
Edward's brow furrowed, he really didn't expect this old guy to appear here - Lino Biri, the father of Miss Half-Elf, was also a patron behind him. Just a moment ago, the old man didn't know what kind of wind he had, and he came out of nowhere with a sudden big ride.
"You're welcome, and thanks to your help...... It's just that how can you have time to come here today, and what difficulties are you encountering on the trade road?" the Psychic Warlock raised an eyebrow. He didn't really have a good opinion of this old fellow, although the latter was a lot of help to him, but most of that was to Miss Half-Elf, and this old fellow himself had always been a bit elusive, and for Edward, he was not a good person to communicate.
This old guy
"Where, the construction of your city, is really far beyond the expectations of the old, alas, people are old, and their vision has become shallow, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you really can't imagine that in this short period of time, you have created such a miracle. The old man laughed and didn't mind: "As for the purpose of my visit today...... Hehe, that's right. I heard that you don't seem to be satisfied with the local exhibition, Lord Edward?"
"When the city-state was first established, it was not uncommon for us to be in ruins, and it was not uncommon for us to be in short supply, and it was only natural for us to repay the old age, as long as it was useful. You're welcome at all. ”
But I wonder if the scale of this city can be improved?
"Hehehe, the elf wars are scattered, stop-and-stop, and have been going on for more than a hundred years, several times they have concluded contracts, not to interfere with each other, and there are also long-term visioners who have proposed a fusion strategy, so the number of this half-elves. Of course, that's not all, and in fact, the Half-Blood Society may be several times larger than you know...... In addition to the half-elves, there are also some humans, who are figures related to the half-elves, so in the whole of Tuminis, even if roughly calculated, the number of half-elves. It will be more than five times more. ”
"I don't think you said that last time, right?"
"That's a lot,"
"Huh. Did I say anything about the size of the half-bloods?"
Of course, the number of half-elves is not superior, but among them, there is just a quarter of the half-elves, the half-elves have a long lifespan, but their fertility is not weak, and they have multiplied for many years, if there are only a few thousand and less than 10,000 people, it is indeed unreasonable.
Of course, the Half-Blood Society also has some power.
I belong to the oldest. The oldest faction, and the one with the most members, because most of us were merchants, used linen-colored robes as the name of the faction, which was simply called the "brown faction". He is the person who is responsible for contacting and organizing the half-elves in various places.
There are a few other factions, right?
In view of this, all three factions recognized them as the leaders of the "Half-Bloods", and the "Half-Bloods" factions everywhere were under their leadership from the surface. The policy of the brown-clad faction was relatively moderate. They tend to be neutral, and their personnel are relatively open-minded, so they do not hinder the free movement of their members, so many people in brown have joined the other two factions [the Purple Faction and the Thorn Faction]. and even held important positions. Its inscription – "Our allies, only sometimes ask." ”
It represents the basic point of view of the members of the Brown faction, that is, as long as they make unremitting efforts, preserve their original sphere of influence, carefully expand the new force Fangang, try not to miss any opportunity, not to make any mistakes, not to be blindly radical, not to be closed and conservative, then one day they will achieve their goal, and they will be victorious.
A new nation was splintered from the frontier, founded directly by the Half-Elves...... Or do they rely on legal means to gain the equal status of half-elves?
This is undoubtedly the one that can be maximized...... However, it is not advisable, after all, the number of half-elves and half-hybrids, even after forty years, has not been able to develop a base that can establish a state, and it is unlikely that there will be good results if they are barely upright...... Still, led by half-elves, the path of mixing with humans is the most preferable.
Members of the Brown Coats wear brown clothes with two all-brown hands shaking hands. Their contact code was for the two to turn their right thumbs opposite each other in a quarter-turn counterclockwise direction.
The most powerful faction of the "Half-Blood Society", but also the least numerous, is simply called "Purple". Gained some social status. Although the number is small, it is also possible to obtain power through legal means. At this point, some people split off from the Brown Clothes Sect and formed the Purple Clothes Sect. They felt that there was nothing wrong with obeying the laws of mankind, so their members soon became people of great social status.
"Deal with dignitaries, and you will become dignitaries. ”
This is the basic point of view of the Purple faction, they feel that as long as they work hard to obtain social status, and then help more half-elves to obtain social status, they can gradually change people's discrimination, win people's respect, and finally legally obtain a territory, and establish a country belonging to half-elves on the basis of it.
Very good reformist approach,
"It's a pity, Lord Edward, we Brown Coats only have prestige, most of them are just a combination of merchants and ordinary squires, we don't have a lot of power or influence, like these people in your territory, it's already the limit of what we can mobilize. ”
This old fellow would have come in person—two months, right? Edward hadn't had any contact with him since he had received a little help from him and eliminated the killer organization, although things in the realm had to be related to it at some point.

What are the ideals, propositions, freedom, equality, and emancipation? In the final analysis, disputes are nothing more than problems caused by the uneven distribution of interests...... The leaders of this half-blood association are in fact a group of people with no ideals, the so-called officials, fighting for the interests of all the half-elves, but they use to confuse the half-elves below and gain their support......
The largest part of the interests will always be in the hands of a few...... Whether it is human beings, or other intelligent beings, unless they can share everyone's ideas 100%, otherwise, absolute equality is nothing more than a flash in the pan - the half-elf officials mediate between humans and half-elves, but now the salary people are destined to restrain their hands and feet, so that they have to protect each other's real interests, and the so-called use of people's money to eliminate disasters for others...... It is impossible for them to harm the interests of the boss to satisfy the poor relatives and friends.
Therefore, contradictions are naturally inevitable.
