Lord of Arcane

At this time, in the auditorium, Xia Duo used magic to whisper to Niya in a crowded environment. He pointed to an entrance in the central field below and said to Niya mysteriously:

"What do you think the Seven Towers will do today?"

"How do I know this?"

Niya replied subconsciously, but then she reacted, took Sha Duo's arm, and said meaningfully: "Did you receive the news in advance?"

"Yes, I see that you have never been in contact with the Congressman's Secretary's Office. If you have been in contact before, you should know what the performance of the Seven Towers will be later!"

"What on earth is that?" Niya shook Shado's arm and asked.

Xia Duo enjoyed Niya's coquettishness, but deliberately gave it away: "Why are you so anxious? You will find out later. I guarantee it will be beyond your expectations!"

"Huh? Isn't it like three years ago?"

Niya showed a look of disgust. Even though she usually didn't pay much attention to the snow melting competition, she had heard about the striptease incident three years ago. If this incident happened again today, her opinion of the Seven Towers would definitely be at its lowest point. .

"Don't worry, it's not."

Sha Duo patted the back of Niya's hand and comforted her.

……

Soon, under the loud voice in the arena, the door for the performance team opened little by little, and the first person to enter was a human.

This man is tall and slender, and his steps are light. The sword uniform on his body has lost the obvious complicated and gorgeous features of elf clothing. It is overall black, with only a few prominent muscle lines and slender blue lines.

He has always held the narrow-edged rapier in his backhand, with the blade and arm close to each other. The moment he came on stage, it gave all the audience, especially the non-human audience, a refreshing feeling.

There are few swordsman masters with such fierce temperament among humans!

After the human sword master appeared on the stage, he first saluted to the audience in all directions of the arena, then held a sword flower, raised his sword, and assumed a starting stance.

Just when most of the audience thought that Netheril's performance was just a single sword dance, the swordsman suddenly moved. As the sword danced, his figure split into two, and then split into four.

In just a short moment, thirty-two similar figures filled the central field.

"Illusion? No, that's not an illusion!"

Niya expressed her judgment very confidently. Not only were the sword dance movements of the thirty-two figures different, but also because through the miniature spell that came with the auditorium, the thirty-two figures could be clearly seen completely. Different looks.

On Xia Duo's side, in addition to getting the news in advance that there was more than one person, he could tell from the movement of the thirty-two figures, who were always connected to the intelligence, that these people had different skills in the field of swordsmanship.

Except for the one who was initially regarded as a card, there are four other people who can also be called sword masters, and the rest are not. Of course, even if they are not masters, their sword skills can be called excellent in the elf world. .

Of course, all of this is not the point. Niya has not noticed it yet, but there are so many elves on the field. As long as one or two notice it, they will quickly spread it to the surrounding companions.

Less than a minute after all thirty-two performers appeared, the originally relatively orderly wave of cheers seemed to be suddenly mixed with countless discordant stones, abruptly disrupting the momentum. “It’s actually a half-elf!”

From the complex cries of surprise, anger, sympathy and other emotions mixed together by the elf audience in the auditorium, Niya also recognized the true identities of the thirty-two people on the field.

Half-elf, in fact, the full name should be [half-elf, half-human], but elves often have an extraordinary status in the minds of most humans, so half-elves and half-humans with elf characteristics are called [half-elf] .

As for these half-elves, the human blood in their bodies actually accounts for the majority, and even the elf characteristics on their bodies are no longer obvious, otherwise Niya would not need the elf's reminder to recognize them.

These thirty-two performers, even without mentioning their bloodline, are already completely human beings just based on their psychological identification and the identities they represent at this moment!

As for why the Seven Towers want these human representatives with elven blood to perform the opening performance of Netheril, this actually has to start with past history.

This is to a certain extent to stimulate the elves.

In the Northland now, even demon descendants are not a taboo. As long as they have not participated in any vicious incidents, after the first round of comprehensive testing is completed, they can openly operate in the Northland, but——

There is one group that has been excluded until now, and that is half-elves, or humans with elven blood.

A long time ago, when Netheril and Ellan ended their honeymoon period and their relationship took a turn for the worse, Ellan recalled most of the elves in Netheril, including those who had gathered with humans.

During this period, some half-elves were brought back to Ellan by their elf fathers or mothers. Let’s not mention this part for the time being. Anyway, their lives were not satisfactory, but a considerable part remained in Netheril.

This group of half-elves later gradually multiplied and multiplied, and gathered under Gustav's Tower, one of the Seven Towers. The territory that Gustav's Tower belongs to today can basically be traced back to a half-elf ancestor.

This is also the main reason why Gustav Tower has always been hostile to and even hated the elves.

Until the establishment of the Northland Alliance, Erlan did not allow any Netherese with elven blood to enter the territory of Erlan, and Cormanthor did the same.

Ilfaran and other elven countries are better off, but invisible discrimination still exists, but they just don't say it out loud. People from Gustav's Tower often have to accept more questions than other Netherese people when they go to elven countries. Even surveillance.

This is obviously discrimination against the entire human race!

This is indeed the thought of many elves, but at a time when even demons are equal, wouldn't it be too politically correct to still discriminate against humans?

That’s why Seven Towers decided to do this at the opening ceremony of the snow melting competition, which was agreed and supported by the vast majority of parliamentarians. (Vote by Chatodania)

As a result, the half-elf performers appeared in public and became the focus of countless eyes in the North, causing almost unprecedented controversy.

I think that in the future, even if the demon descendants can openly operate in the North, they will not be so grand. The ideas of intelligent creatures have inertia. Even if they know what to do, they will still stick to their own opinions until greater stimulation appears.

Today, the appearance of Netheril has really irritated many elves, especially those in Erlan and Cormanthor who still have stubborn ideas about pure blood.

……

The opening ceremony on the first day of the Snow Melting Competition ended quickly, but the aftermath of the half-elf's public performance at the opening ceremony has not subsided, and even the waves it caused have become bigger and bigger.
