Chapter Ten: The Death of the Elf King and the Revelation of the World Tree
In the small cabin, Zeng Chi was full of sighs and nostalgia as he recounted the secret of their escape, but the two listeners seemed to be fascinated by what he had said before, and they seemed to be a little concerned about the huge impact of the blood elves' escape that he had mentioned before.
Suspect.
Zeng Chi paused, but continued to sigh.
"The elf knight group, which is our current blood elf group, ran away with hatred in desperation, which greatly damaged the vitality of the elves - although we are an alternative among the elves, and because there are only a small number of people who only have the faith of the ancestors like us
, has always been the weakest among the three armies of the elves. But the bloody battles have always made our people generally respect us enough even though they do not agree with our views."
"Our departure eventually caused a small number of elves and even ethnic groups who had always supported us and sympathized with us to become extremely disappointed with the royal family. Since then, they have lived in seclusion in the mountains and have not even contacted the outside world. Instead, they occasionally have contact with us.
——This is also the origin of our series of intelligence and the best support point for our current intelligence work."
…
"On the other hand, the elves have since lost their most elite elemental knight legion. Only the elf ranger legion, which relies on nature and has unparalleled jungle warfare and archery skills, and the transformation art that relies on life magic energy to charge into battle and
The Druid Legion is extremely outstanding in self-recovery. These two legions respectively believe in the religion of nature and life."
"More importantly, they have since lost the most powerful combat force that maintains neutrality and deterrence between the Goddess of Life Sect and the Goddess of Nature Sect - it is the existence of our Elf Knight Legion that makes the relationship between the Goddess of Life Sect and the Goddess of Nature Sect
Although the struggle was fierce, it only involved politics, it maintained sufficient restraint, and it never smelled of blood."
"The struggle between the Goddess of Life Cult and the Goddess of Nature Cult has gradually become more intense because of our departure. The Ranger Legion and the Druid Legion, which have been competing with each other, have begun to lose contact with each other, and there is a hint of tension."
…
"However, the previous Elf King did not seem to want to repent. Instead, he once again played the trick of political balance. In view of the imbalance between the two religions in the country due to our departure, he tried his best to curb the development of the Goddess of Life Sect, and after discovering
After trying to contain the enemy, he abandoned the neutrality of the royal family for the first time and declared his belief in the Nature Goddess Religion."
"A fool who drinks poison to quench his thirst after making one mistake after another."
Xie Ning suddenly said something in a low voice.
"Yes, idiot."
Zeng Chi also looked at him and nodded in agreement.
…
"This has certainly greatly strengthened the Nature Goddess Sect, allowing them to compete with the Life Goddess Sect even though they have lost our deterrence, and the domestic political situation has returned to balance."
"But what he didn't expect was that from then on, the royal family would become a chess piece instead of a chess player. And the Nature Goddess Religion, which had been overly strengthened by the royal power, expanded at a speed that he did not expect."
"When he realized his mistake and became more involved in the struggle between nature and life, he finally found that in this country that worshiped the two goddesses so much, it had become impossible for him to give up his faith.
…”
Zeng Chi sighed softly.
…
"A few years ago, the previous elf king died mysteriously. This extremely strange thing made everyone in the elf empire furious after reacting - you know, there is no such thing as a mysterious death in the elves, because our soul spiral
The relationship between the life points, unless it is an unexpected and unpredictable event. Every elf can roughly perceive his own death, which is the time when the original life magic energy is exhausted."
"And even if it dies without any disease, it will age rapidly in the year before death."
"But not the Elf King - he died inexplicably. No one knows the cause of his death, and his body has been preserved by the elves with the secret method of life for analysis. But this matter has already caused a stir among the elves.
There was an uproar.”
…
"The Goddess of Nature Cult, which has become a behemoth, accuses the Goddess of Life Cult, believing that they murdered the Elf King. Their reasons are also very good. It is the support of the royal power represented by the Elf King that allows the Goddess of Nature Cult to override the Goddess of Life Cult.
Yes, it is reasonable to say that the Goddess of Life Sect hates the Elf King."
"The Goddess of Life Cult is competing against each other. They claim that even if the Elf King overwhelmingly supports the Nature Goddess Cult, the Life Goddess Cult will just swallow their anger. Even if they want to plot against the Elf King - they don't have to wait until the Nature Goddess Cult becomes so big.
Have you just started calculating? Is there any use in calculating now?"
…
"That makes sense... Xie Ning, what do you think?"
Yang Linkai, who was fascinated by what he heard, immediately smacked his lips and sighed. He looked at Xie Ning, who seemed to have been meditating on something.
"Well... we currently have too little information to make a judgment. The situation mentioned by Brother Zeng is very much like homicide, not natural death. But this must be confirmed through scientific physical examination - otherwise, the world of magic energy
It’s too broad, who knows whether this bizarre incident is inevitable or accidental?”
"And if it is not a natural death... then I think it is impossible for the Life Goddess Sect to murder the Elf King - they are right. Is it still useful for them to murder at this time? Isn't it still an act of revenge? Then they can only say that they are brain-dead.
Already."
Xie Ning frowned.
…
"But the Goddess of Nature will not be so stupid as to kill the Elf King who has been supporting him so much and cut off his own arms... With the continued support of the royal power, they may completely overwhelm the Goddess of Life and become the only state religion of the elves in just a short time - then what?
It’s impossible…it’s a barbarian?”
Yang Linkai asked curiously again.
"impossible."
Xie Ning immediately shook his head in affirmation.
"The goal of the barbarians has always been the mountains and the sea, and they also signed a non-aggression pact with the elves. At that time, they were also preparing for World War II with our mountains and seas. Therefore, it makes no sense for them to do this, and it is more likely to cause complications.
"
"As for the previous generation Elf King's star body, how could he be killed silently without the presence of the Barbarian God? What's more, even the Barbarian God... I'm afraid he can't kill a star quietly?"
He looked at Zeng Chi inquiringly and asked.
…
Zeng Chi immediately nodded with deep understanding: "Barbarians are impossible. But if it is an insider, who is that insider and which party does it represent? The two religious sects have accused each other of being the murderer for this, and even more
They have conducted analysis on the cause of death several times - but they don’t have our magic energy technology system, so how can they do any analysis?"
"So, they have no choice but to pray to the World Tree of Life for enlightenment. You don't know that the World Tree of Life, as the greatest artifact of the elves, not only possesses the holy water of life and the twigs of the World Tree, but also has many other wonders. Just
For example, early warning.”
"It even issued an early warning when the barbarians invaded last time - this is also the reason why the barbarian god and his men suddenly appeared and immediately raided the royal court, but happened to encounter a powerful elven clan."
…
"So the elves have always believed in the revelation that the World Tree of Life will always leave after pious prayers."
"But now the revelation of the World Tree of Life doesn't work anymore - the Goddess of Nature claims that the World Tree of Life is the king of nature, but it has always been under the control of the Goddess of Life. Who knows if they are playing tricks?"
"So. On the one hand, they tried their best to gain control of the World Tree of Life, but on the other hand, they also rejected the revelation left by the World Tree of Life - that sentence is also very strange."
Zeng Chi spoke slowly, but when he said this, his expression turned strange again.
"What words?"
Yang Linkai suddenly asked curiously.
…
"We also heard the news from a group in the mountains last time: This is an ancient elven language, Himedor, Elutelan, Campaliweiqi. The translation is - decay and dust, life
The first thorn falls from the scepter of the King of Nature, All Living Beings and the World.”
Zeng Chi recalled thoughtfully.
"What the hell kind of revelation is this..."
Yang Linkai murmured immediately.
…
"Yes. We don't know clearly, but decay and dust, life and nature, seem to be describing the Nature God Religion and the Life God Religion. Of course, the two God Religions speak of each other in one voice, and the first sentence corresponds to the target.
.”
"The people of the Elf Empire pay more attention to the latter sentence. They generally interpret it as it is prepared for the Elf King's young son - the Elf King's series of mistakes have greatly disappointed him, and he is also called a thorn.
It's possible. And his youngest son who is about to inherit the throne, doesn't it take that thorn to be removed before he can grasp the staff of royal power?"
"So they were overjoyed. They all agreed with this sentence and helped the young son to the throne - but the young son did not show anything special... except for the perfect inheritance of Xingyao's soul - he was just
How old do you need to be to become the king of all living beings and the world?"
"His Majesty Kael'thas and His Majesty Illidan are the only two people in the elves who are called the two greatest kings of the elves. His Majesty Kael'thas is still ranked before His Majesty Illidan. I will at least achieve my future achievements in magic warfare.
, I'm afraid it will be no less than or even higher than His Majesty Kael'thas - but I don't dare to think that I will be the king of all living beings and the world. That little brat who is still drinking milk? Bah."
Zeng Chi said with some disapproval.
…
"That's strange... Is this revelation accurate? The king of all living beings and the world? I said, we won't rush to become that bullshit king's stepping stone to fame..."
Xie Ning murmured with laughter.
"If they need to step up, he will step up to the feet of his brothers."
Yang Linkai immediately retorted with great interest.
"To say the least, Xie Ning, you have more hope of becoming that extremely popular King of So-and-so - all living beings, if your family has a small hotpot, he must be a great existence in the starry sky. And then there is also Ou in Brother Zeng's family.
, Brother Zeng also represents the blood elves, as well as us humans, so many races are now under your leadership..."
"As for the world, there is no space demon that can control it. It's a world of ghosts."
"If it were Lele and I, we definitely think you are the one the revelation refers to."
he said happily.
…
"Go away, the elves don't even know me. The World Life Tree is magical enough to know me? Can you be more scientific? Do you really think you and Lele are prophecy emperors?"
Xie Ning gave Yang Linkai a dumbfounded look again.
"I'm so sorry. Wasn't your Susu predicted by us at the beginning? You still don't believe it. It's not because the brothers predicted it and made you nervous all the time. If you go a little later, Susu will be gone!"
Yang Linkai retorted with joy.
Zeng Chi and Xie Ning looked at each other, but both laughed and shook their heads. Xie Ning's eyes overflowed with a trace of deep longing and worry.
…
I don’t know what’s going on with Susu… I don’t know if I can bring her the Holy Water of Life… I don’t know if the Holy Water of Life can work – why are you thinking about so much gossip? It’s better to just do the things in front of you.
.
I can't lose anyone, and I can't lose Susu... That bullshit king, as long as it doesn't block my brother's way to get the holy water of life, it's none of my business... However, the situation of the elves that Brother Zeng mentioned now seems to be there.
Under the extremely severe situation of being mingled with the barbarians, there is even a hint of weirdness...
Damn, it’s so complicated, how do we get started?
The young man thought silently, and then he fell into deep thought about the secrets of the elves revealed by Zeng Chi. (To be continued...)
