Chapter Nine: The Secret of the Elves at the Bottom of the Deep Sea
"Is this a submarine? I never thought that one day I would be able to appreciate the scenery of the deep sea? I said, at such a deep seabed, wouldn't we be crushed by the water pressure? How do you float up and down?"
At the bottom of the deep sea, in a rapidly moving submarine, Yang Linkai observed the colorful seabed through the porthole, and he said with great interest.
"Yes, sir, this is a submarine - the invention of our king's genius. What you are riding on now is the nuclear crystal-powered ocean-going submarine Diver of our navy's submarine force. The reason why we can dive deep into the seabed is because of our submarine hull.
It is made of extremely high-strength pressure-resistant materials. At the same time, the submarine is also equipped with a pressure-resistant magic energy unit, which can effectively resist the huge pressure from all directions."
"As for floating and sinking, it's actually a very simple principle that no one has thought of before - just using the water in the watertight cabin to release the water. But before my king, no one could think of this."
A submarine officer beside him who was accompanying them on the tour explained in a low voice, and looked at Xie Ning who was whispering to Zeng Chi with great respect.
…
"When it comes to having a mind full of fantastic ideas, no one can compare to him."
Yang Linkai suddenly understood and nodded. He also glanced at Xie Ning, who seemed to have heard their conversation and looked embarrassed, and nodded in approval.
Then, Xie Ning waved his hand to the officer, and the officer immediately exited with understanding, leaving only the voices of Xie Ning and others quietly echoing in the boat room.
"We will take the Diver across the Endless Ocean and directly arrive at a large island at the southern end of the western elven continent - that's the Elf King's Court, where Teldrassil is located. The headquarters of the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Nature are also there. The barbarian one
The mission is also there now."
"The process will be a bit long, because we have to avoid the big whirlpool in the center of the endless ocean and take a detour. Fortunately, this submarine is nuclear-crystal powered and is very fast. It is not far behind the surface ships. Therefore, it is expected that the two
It can arrive in a few months.”
Zeng Chi was pointing at a blood elf map he brought and explained to Xie Ning.
…
"Big whirlpool?" Xie Ning had a strange look on his face.
"Yes. A super-large ocean vortex in the center of the Endless Ocean - no one knows what it is, and no one knows how it was formed. The National Magic Energy Research Institute has asked me for support several times, so that
I sent several Blood Guards to take them on a submarine to investigate the Maelstrom, but found nothing. They even found that when they tried to enter from the sea or the bottom of the sea, they were blocked by an invisible layer and could only
Wandering on the edge of the maelstrom.”
"And the thing blocking them is like a very weird energy film - they block any material from the maelstrom. This is why the Magic Energy Research Institute analyzed why the maelstrom can not be diluted by the planet's ocean currents.
, the reason why it can exist permanently. And according to the data they inspected at the edge, they only found through remote sensing that there is a physical reaction there that is similar to Hope Island, but seems to be stronger."
"According to their speculation, this may be another weak point in White Star's space that connects to the upper energy level plane - this also corresponds to our history: it is said that the barbarians first emerged from the maelstrom."
…
Zeng Chi nodded, and then a strange look appeared in his eyes.
"However, during a recent scientific expedition that guided and accompanied me, a Blood Guard once reported to me that he didn't know whether he was dazzled or something. He once saw a fleeting shadow outside the port window - it seemed
It's...a creature that looks like a human and a fish when viewed from the back, with hands and a tail."
"Mermaid?" Xie Ning said dumbfounded.
"Yes, it's a mermaid. Your name is very appropriate."
Zeng Chi nodded immediately: "It's just such a creature anyway - I don't know if he is dazzled or something."
He said inexplicably.
"Weird energy membrane? Another world...and a mermaid?" Xie Ning murmured with a strange look on his face.
"How big is this world?" Yang Linkai's expression was not much better, he asked in a daze.
…
"We are not in a hurry to figure out what the maelstrom and that strange creature are, but we are in an urgent need to solve the problem of elves and the holy water of life. Brother Zeng. You know the most about this. Please introduce them."
Then, Xie Ning quickly woke up. He continued to ask.
Zeng Chi nodded: "These two points are actually the same thing. The holy water of life has been introduced before. It is the essence of life magic energy condensed once every thousand years by the elven artifact and the World Life Tree that now grows in Teldrassil.
"
"And the elves are actually a race closely related to their artifact - the World Tree of Life."
"The World Tree of Life condenses the Holy Water of Life once every thousand years, and drops many young branches every hundred years. If you cultivate them carefully, these young branches will grow into the Tree of Life anywhere - this is a kind of tree that looks like the World Tree of Life.
Children are like a weakened version of the World Tree of Life, they will condense something called water of life every year."
…
"In fact, the elves do not have hospitals, let alone doctors. All their illnesses are treated by the water of life condensed by the tree of life - as long as they are not soul-damaging, any physical illness or trauma will be healed with one drop."
"So, and for this reason, they usually settled around each tree of life - a primitive existence that is completely different from our modern way of living."
Zeng Chi paused and looked at the people who had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"From here, everyone can basically understand where the elves come from, how they multiply and grow, and the origins of the Goddess of Life Cult?"
He asked in a low voice, looking at everyone who couldn't help but nod their heads, he smiled, and continued: "It is precisely because of this, at least before we broke away from the elves, the Goddess of Life Cult has always been the number one in the elves.
Great religion."
…
"Their theory of the supreme power of life magic is very popular among the elves who are born with the location of life magic. At the same time, they are also the caregivers of the world's tree of life."
"You should imagine the status of the World Tree of Life in the hearts of the elves. It is the only great artifact left to them by the ancestors of the elves. In their minds, it is on the same level as the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers in your minds, and even more so.
The existence of it——"
"Even its young branches are the strongest guarantee for the reproduction and growth of elves - otherwise, just imagine what it would be like if we didn't have hospitals, doctors, or medicines."
"At the beginning, on the one hand, we had different views on the barbarians, and on the other hand, it was because of the power of the Goddess of Life, which oppressed the living space of a few of us with different voices. The blood elves who control the elven knight corps among the elves,
Decided to leave the family and migrate collectively."
As Zeng Chi spoke, his eyes were full of sighs.
…
"As a clan of elven knights who have mastered the most elite elemental combat power among elves since ancient times, we really cannot agree with the view claimed by the Goddess of Life that the magic of life is above all else."
"In fact, although life magic may be more magical, in battle, elemental magic is the greatest guarantee of our combat power. We trust elemental magic more. And we do not think that life magic is the top of the world.
The magic power - now, this has indeed been confirmed. Who dares to rule the roost in front of space?"
Zeng Chi glanced at Xie Ning angrily, and Xie Ning shrugged with a proud smile.
"So, this is the Cult of the Goddess of Elves and Life."
Zeng Chi took a sip of water and spoke again.
…
"The Goddess of Nature is another elven existence that is suppressed by the Goddess of Life, but can barely compete with them. Compared with the madmen of the Goddess of Life, the Goddess of Nature is also a group of madmen - they are almost
Crazy obsessed with nature, believing that nature is the existence that is superior to all living things, and we are also children of nature."
"Although this kind of doctrine may seem correct, but it may not be correct when it is developed to an extreme, we do not agree with them, but it also allows them to have many loyal supporters among the elves. As a result, they have struggled to resist the heavy influence of the Goddess of Life Cult.
Pressure.”
"Before we moved out of the Western Continent, the environment of the Elf Empire was roughly like this - the royal power was supreme, but the religious power of life should not be underestimated, and the religious power of nature struggled to survive under the balance and protection of the royal power. The three reached a kind of balance
A delicate political balance.”
Zeng Chi said softly.
…
"Later, we left, but we still paid attention to the news about the elves. The reason why the situation in the elven empire has evolved into this is. We have to say that in our opinion, the previous generation of elven kings was simply an extremely dim existence——
"
"The first stupid thing he did was naturally to suppress his knight legion group with the king's order. He ordered them, who had always worshiped the great ancestor Kael'thas, to at least believe in one doctrine. And give up their arrogance and revenge.
Thoughts, returning to the embrace of nature and life - this is the origin of my blood elf and blood knight legions."
Zeng Chi's face was full of anger.
…
"In fact, he wanted us to return to the embrace of nature, so that the Natural God Religion, which had declined increasingly over the years, could once again achieve a balance with the Life God Religion, thereby achieving a political balance in the empire - but he did not expect
What’s more, depriving people of their faith is such a psychological trauma among the heroic elf knights!”
"In the end, we were forced by him and ran away angrily because we were at odds with the entire empire and the mainstream voices of cessation of war and peace led by the Religion of Life and the Religion of Nature."
"Our departure seems to be just a small group of people leaving the empire, which is harmless - but we now feel that this is probably the beginning of a series of chaos that has led to the empire in the past few hundred years... Now, we also
I don’t know if we are right or wrong, maybe, this is the will and necessity of God..."
Zeng Chi suddenly sighed and murmured, which aroused the curiosity of Xie and Yang.
…
Did the exodus of the blood elves lead to the current situation? No...
The two of them thought rather suspiciously. (To be continued...)
ps: Haha, I saw Brother Big Toe’s message. The Battle of the Barbarians is still in the next volume. This volume is mainly about the acquisition of the kingship of a certain time traveler, as well as the affairs of the elves.
