Chronicle of the Elf Realm

Chapter 29: The Legend of Medusa

"Medusa, wait a minute, that's Medusa, one of the three Gorgons." Sijia was depressed. Isn't that a monster in Greek mythology?

"Yes, that snake demon is said to be the priestess of the snake-human temple in ancient times, when the Elf Realm was still in chaos and the heroes were divided." Zou Jiao said, then paused and looked at Sijia, "You don't know "Do you want me to tell you about that legend?" He asked Si Jia kindly for his opinion, but found that the other party actually had a look on his face that said, "Isn't this nonsense? Please hurry up and talk about it." Zou Jiao also felt that he sometimes liked to do unnecessary things.

"Then let me explain it in layman's terms. According to the customs at that time, the priestesses of the Snake Tribe must remain chaste throughout their lives, but that Medusa happened to have a stunningly beautiful face, and then a tragedy unfolded, cough Poseidon, the god of the sea, coveted her beauty and raped her.

She once asked for protection from the snake-people temple, but she still could not escape her bad luck. Her virginity was taken away by Poseidon, the god of the sea, in the temple. Afterwards, the snake-people senators were very angry at her unclean body, but They couldn't defeat Poseidon, the god of the sea, so they had to take out their grievances on Medusa. They put a curse on Medusa. All men who saw her face would be turned to stone and she would be expelled from the tribe.

Legend has it that Medusa's temperament changed drastically because of this incident, and because of the "snake-hair curse", her strength skyrocketed and she completely became a powerful monster. She would kill any living creature she saw. We elves were also bewitched by her back then. It was quite embarrassing. However, after the ancient war, the Elf King completely suppressed other races. The snake people were no longer afraid, and the Medusa also disappeared.

But in the Middle Ages, she reappeared strangely, causing a big storm. In the end, the elves sent a powerful guy to completely deal with the problem. I vaguely remember that the powerful senior sealed Medusa in Beitan.

Medusa did countless evil things during her lifetime and plundered countless treasures. When she was sealed, it seemed that her rich wealth was taken with her." Zou Jingren spoke smoothly in one breath.

"Where did Poseidon, the God of the Sea, come from?" Sijia was stunned.

"You don't even know Poseidon. He was the leader of our water tribe army and a certain clan leader in ancient times. He was known as the God of the Sea because of his extremely powerful ability to control water and could turn the world upside down. Of course, after that incident, Poseidon became the Although I have a high position and strong abilities, I was completely pardoned by those mediocre elders. This is really a shameful history for my water tribe.

Since then, the relationship between the water tribe and the snake people has plummeted. Even in the subsequent devastating battle, Poseidon's heroic sacrifice could not change it at all. But now with the power of my elf tribe, other races have declined, and there is no need to do it. Even if you deliberately try to make friends, it will be too late for them to fawn over you. "Zou Jiaoren looked at Sijia quite depressedly, shaking his head inwardly, probably wondering why this kid didn't know anything.

Well, this is still very different from the Greek mythology I know. Sijia sighed silently in his heart, and asked casually: "Is the guy who sealed her called Perseus? Is there another one named Athena?"

"Yes, that powerful senior seems to have this name. As for Athena, she seems to be one of the elders of the snake people who made the judgment on Medusa." Zou Jing tried hard to recall the legend that the older generation had told him before, and slowly Slowly.

The world view was subverted again. Sijia didn't know what else to do except accept him.

"You kid, don't you know this, and you still ask me?" Zou Jongren patted Sijia on the shoulder and said.

"Ha, I only know that much." Sijia smiled and said to himself that the version I know is far different from yours. I only studied Greek mythology. Where did the legend of the Elf Realm like yours come from? Money matters

"But boss, there are snake people in this elven realm. What's going on? Boss, can you tell me about these things in detail? It's best from beginning to end." Si Jia scratched his head and asked.

"You kid, are you okay?" Zou Jingren looked at Si Jia in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe why he would ask such an idiot question. However, he was relieved after learning that Si Jia was often offline recently. .

So he began to explain: "Our Elf Territory was very chaotic in ancient times. At that time, the Elf clan was not the most powerful, but it was also one of the powerful forces. It was not until later that our Elf clan gave birth to a king of heaven and earth. He carried out a major rectification of this elven domain, weakening all the powerful forces that could compete with the elves, making us elves the masters of this domain.

But later, there was a problem within the elves and they split into two different races. As time went by, the two races each spread across half of the elves' domain. The elves and goblins faced each other. They had constant disputes with each other, and even fought against each other. At the end of ancient times, probably in the First Age and the Elven 200th Anniversary, a devastating battle broke out between the two.

That battle was truly earth-shattering and protracted, but it ended in the victory of the elves. From then on, the elves declined rapidly and their strength plummeted. After the battle, the other races that were originally weakened by the Elf King declined even more, but they still occupied different areas of various sizes and lived together with the elves on this territory.

The king of heaven and earth said before he passed away that we elves must coexist harmoniously with other races in this area. Therefore, although the elves are powerful, they will not kill other races and will always live in peace. However, occasionally we still have some self-reliance. The arrogant guy did some bullying things and ruined the reputation of my elven clan.

As for the goblins, they were too tenacious. After a long rest, they were able to expand again. More than ten years ago, five domain lords appeared out of nowhere, bringing the goblin clan's strength and status to the same level as the elves again. The situation of confrontation between the tribes, and the goblin race is specifically targeting our race and has never taken action against other races. And precisely because of the arrogant performance of our elf race in recent years, other races will not do anything to our race in this matter. Support, many races prefer to remain neutral. Now the situation is alas, I am digressing.

As for the other races you mentioned, they include the snake people, oh, and the mermaids we just saw. They are all half-human. There are also some races that are beasts. There was another race, but now it seems It's already extinct, so don't mention it. That's probably the case. I don't have a clear idea of ​​how many other races exist in the Elf Realm. It's just that the races just mentioned are more famous, and their strength is comparable to that of each of our elven clans. Therefore I know better. "

After all, those were told by the teachers in the military camp and what he read from ancient books. He was not sure whether the real Elf Realm was the same as what was in that book.

But it's impossible to be exactly the same. After all, there is always a gap between books and reality.

"Soga" Sijia slapped his palms. After Zou Jiaoren's explanation, he finally understood the world better, and he didn't want to continue bumping around like a dull fly.

"Soga" Zou Jiaoren repeated doubtfully.

"Boss, you don't understand. This is Japanese. That's what it means." Sijia raised his eyebrows and explained triumphantly. Finally, he met someone from Zou Jiao who didn't know.

"That's called Japanese. I vaguely saw it in some ancient elf book. This is the ancient language of a certain clan of ancient elves," Zou Jiao said slowly.

"Ah, that's it"

Si Jia never thought that any simple Japanese he spoke casually would become someone's ancient language. He would not dare to use Japanese casually in the future. After all, although all kinds of languages ​​in the human world are also commonly used here, he just doesn't know which ethnic group they belong to. What kind of language you use may turn into a big trouble one day and make him angry.

"Otherwise, I've finished talking about the legend and what needs to be said. Is it true?" Zou Jingren held his chin and began to enter the thinking mode.

"I think there is a possibility," Sijia said.

"Even if that is true, we don't know where the treasure is. This North Valley is easy to traverse. It looks short, but in fact it is a quarter of the size of the water area. It is one of the largest valleys in the Elf Domain." Zou Jiaoren looked sideways at Sijia and said.

"Haha, boss, you don't have to worry about this, I know where it is." Si Jia smiled mysteriously.

"You know" Zou Jiaoren was very surprised.

Of course I know. Before that Tuanzi guy disappeared, he stuffed the treasure map into my memory. I don’t know how he did it. If it didn’t install a memory chip, could it be magic? That was really the first time, no. , seems to be the second time, seeing this kind of magic that can force memories. As a result, whenever he closes his eyes, a treasure map with clear routes and clear indicators appears in his mind, and he can't forget it no matter what.

"Well, anyway, boss, come with me." Sijia closed his eyes and sensed the treasure map in his mind.

"Then you lead the way." Although Zou Jiao didn't quite believe it, he felt that Si Jia didn't seem to be lying. It’s boring anyway, so why not take a walk?

The two shook out their wings and plunged into the woods on one side. They stayed close to the ground and traveled slowly at low altitude, trying not to touch the flight height limit of the valley.

In less than half a moment, we arrived halfway up the mountain. The front was shrouded in clouds and mist, our vision was blurred, and the strange energy restricted by flight was greatly enhanced, making it difficult to fly without wings.

Sijia retracted his wings and walked again, followed closely by the Zou Jiao people.

The two of them stepped on the rocky soil that had turned into deep red. The higher they went, the softer the rocky soil became. There was not even a gravel. Sijia finally understood why the elf was barefoot. Oh, because the soil here is as good as wool blankets

As the altitude continued to increase, the slope became steeper and the number of trees became much smaller. Basically, only some low bushes remained. Sijia looked at the mountains hundreds of meters high and felt worried. Tuanzi cursed a lot, but he didn't tell himself that the valley was not a mountain climb but a rock climb. The slope was already very steep. He could only walk with his body bent at 90 degrees in order to maintain balance. moves forward.

"Boss, we probably have to climb rocks next." Si Jia originally wanted to give up, but felt it was too embarrassing. He gritted his teeth and greeted Zou Jiao, who was following him with a relaxed expression.

"Okay, let's go." Zou Jingren looked heroic, as if climbing a few hundred meters on the rock was as simple as eating a meal for him.

Si Jia didn't expect Zou Jingren to be so straightforward. In fact, he hoped that Zou Jingren would refuse. Now he can only bite the bullet and continue.

"Boss, have you ever rock climbing?" Sijia looked at the distant mountain top and swallowed. He needed time to make mental preparations.

"Well, rock climbing can be regarded as a traditional competitive sport of the elves. The elves' main athletics academy in the Golden Territory and the athletic branches of the other four tribes have divided a "rock climbing area" area for the elves to practice competitions. Many elves like rock climbing, because the ability to fly is limited, which can greatly stimulate the elves' competitive spirit, and through this, they can improve their physical defense skills," Zou Jiao said.

"Really, boss, what kind of climbing do you like?" I really didn't expect that there is a special rock climbing area in the Elf Realm, Si Jia sighed while still brewing mental activities.

"Among freecliing, aidcliing, toprope and sportcliing, I like the first one best," Zou Jiao said.

"Free climbing." Si Jia wiped his sweat silently in his mind, thinking that he almost forgot that this is a sacred place where people can't speak languages. Fortunately, he knew something about rock climbing, otherwise he would have no idea what Zou Jiao was talking about.

"Yes. Free climbing without the help of any protective equipment and climbing with only one's own strength can stimulate our body's potential to the greatest extent. You have to know that we, the younger generation of elves, have always loved challenges." Zou Jingren's words Full of pride.

You must know that he, Zou Jiao, used to climb rocks. Even on those boundary rocks that restricted flight, he would not use those safety ropes made of dragon and tiger tendons or the soft armor made of cold iron to prevent accidents. Although he is often seen as an arrogant, life-threatening fool for this reason, he has proven his choice with success time and time again.

He has an unparalleled free climbing talent, and he is also a master of physical defense.

"Boss, we only have the first choice this time." Sijia shook his head.

"Isn't that great? You see, this rock wall is naturally formed, and the rock angles are ever-changing. Although we don't know anything about it, it is more challenging. Maybe this is an opportunity to refresh my onsight record." Zou Jiaoren's eyes were full of excitement and he couldn't wait.

Onsight: During rock climbing, you only look down and then go up without falling off once. There is no attempt or practice, nor does you rappel down from the top to carefully study the route. This is the best indication of the climber's ability.

Si Jia was stunned. He didn't expect that Zou Jiao was a master in this area. It seemed that he couldn't go even if he didn't go. God wouldn't help him.

"Then let's go." Sijia took a deep breath, with the determination of a strong man who cut off his wrists.
