Great Elf Sage

The long river plain in the southern part of the Aslan continent is a plain cut into large and small 'islands' by crisscrossing rivers. It is somewhat similar to the rapids plain in the southern continent of Atalan, but the river flows much more slowly. The island's area is also large enough for life to live on it. .biquge

These islands are called "territories", and each "territory" is the territory of a settlement of a family unit, and the people living on the many "territories" in the Changhe Plain are all non-human races, or in other words, except for the Blue Mountains, originally The elves, the Ryan dragons, and almost all the non-human races in the Aslan continent live in the Long River Plain area, huddled in this narrow plain that only accounts for less than one-fifth of the continent. Of course, even the Blue Mountain elves have been kicked out now. The middle of the continent.

But four thousand years ago, the situation in Aslan's continent was not like this.

In the first three thousand years after the True Spirit War, the short-lived species that had lost their True Spirit descendants and most of the immortal species suppressed had a period when hundreds of flowers bloomed and various civilizations prospered.

In the past three thousand years, the four immortal species, mountain dwarves, elves, lizardmen and elemental creatures, who inherited part of the civilizational heritage of the True Spirit Descendants, established four powerful kingdoms in the Aslan continent.

Under the leadership of these four countries, the intelligent short-lived species, who were originally like wild beasts, learned and created their own words, customs, systems, ideas, power systems, etc., etc., the light of civilization of the short-lived species. It was during these three thousand years that it began to rise.

This period is known as the Ancient Age, and it was the only era in which long-lived species and short-lived species lived in harmony.

The period from the earliest three thousand years of the ancient times to the ancient times was divided by the true spirit war that lasted for hundreds of years.

After the True Spirit War, the true spirits disappeared and the supernatural withered. The originally powerful descendants of the true spirits declined overnight, and the originally weak and inferior races began to rise. Therefore, before and after the True Spirit War, there were two different generations with clearly visible differences.

But the transition from ancient times to modern times is another change.

A relatively mild, but equally cruel transformation.

A weak race emerged across the continent, like bamboo shoots popping up on the surface after the rainy season, quickly covering all parts of Aslan's continent.

In the long passage of time, this race slowly encroached on the territories of other races. When two of the original four immortal species kingdoms declined one after another, the people of all ethnic groups in the Aslan continent discovered that, unknowingly, , the territories of this weak race that were originally scattered all over the country have actually been connected together in a thousand years, occupying one-third of the Aslan Continent, and becoming the overlord of the Aslan Continent!

This race is—human beings.

Marked by the rise of humans and the decline of the two immortal species, lizards and elemental creatures, the ancient era ended four thousand to five thousand years after the True Spirit War and about two thousand to three thousand years ago.

Humanity has ended the ancient era, and now is the era in which humans dominate the central part of the continent.

Some humanoid races that were assimilated by human civilization stayed in the central part of the continent and became part of human civilization. Races that did not give up their own culture or were too different from humans left the human civilization area and came to settle in the Changhe Plain. In each small 'territory', become a part of this plain with hundreds of ethnic groups.

This is the last refuge for hundreds of inhuman races. For Nolan, it is also a treasure trove of test samples.

……

Chiron, the 'Sage who guides heroes', is a traveling tribesman of the Centaurs, one of the hundred tribes in the Changhe Plain. People of all ethnic groups in the Changhe Plain know this, but before that, 'One of the four great sages of magicians' 'The title and the power behind it are the real proof that Chiron can travel unimpeded among all the 'domestic' in the Changhe Plain.

As the only 'sage' walking in the world, Chiron, who intends to teach all races the system of power and guide the path to transcendence without distinction, has a high reputation in the Changhe Plain.

And today is the day that the sage Chiron announced a year ago that he would select talented people in the 'City that Never Sleeps' and teach them magic.

The City that never sleeps is a city of dwarves. Although many people from other races usually come here to forge weapons and trade, today's City that never sleeps is like Maltas, the "City of Hundreds of Tribes" in the west of the Changhe Plain, where all races are truly mixed.

At this time, the "Sleepless City" was buzzing with people. Lizardmen, elves, orcs, and demi-humans with various animal ears gathered on the streets to form a river and surged towards the square in the center of the city. If the dwarves' voices like "Who is stepping on my head" could be heard from time to time in the crowd, it would probably remind people that this is the city that never sleeps, not the city of Maltas.

In a tall tower next to the central square of the Evernight City, Nolan and Dark Gold, who maintained the image of Chiron, were chatting.

Anjin brought back her black eyepatch. Except for Nolan, she would not let anyone else see her eyes.

"You are really a ruthless guy. Julian is your student after all, but you have made your own decisions about his life and future. Even his persistence and persistence are the result of you..."

Chiron rubbed the hoof of his right hind foot on the ground, looking like a senior centaur, and said with a smile.

"All the students I selected faced oppression before they met me and were unable to resist. The threat of death had already come to them. Therefore, from the beginning, there was no possibility for them to continue to live an ordinary life. I gave Their chance of rebirth abides by the principle of equal exchange, so I also take away other possibilities in their lives. Besides, you can't deny that they all enjoy themselves now, right?"

Anjin didn't speak. Chiron glanced at her and said in the spirit of courtesy.

"I originally thought that the Blue Mountain Elves were the key to your becoming a god, so you wanted to save them. However, since the Blue Mountain Elves conflicted with the Dragon Clan for you two thousand years ago, and you slaughtered the Dragon Clan for the Blue Mountain Elves, Look, your relationship with them doesn't seem to be as simple as an equal exchange... But there is one thing I don't quite understand, why you didn't do your best to save them after the Lanshan destroyed the country..."

An Jin was silent for a long time, then slowly said

"...During my absence, the Blue Mountain Elf Kingdom has fallen under the guidance of my enemies, and it is the Blue Mountain Elf that I want to save, not the Blue Mountain Kingdom."

"The fall of the Blue Mountain Elves? Shirley once said this. It seems that starting two or three generations ago, the Blue Mountain Elves have fallen into a collective atmosphere of blind arrogance and contempt for human beings. Even longer ago, there were a group of splintered people. The Blue Mountain Elf turned into the Dark Elf now, is this something your enemies did?"

"...Well, she, I, and the guy who helped save the Blue Mountain Elf were all promoted to True Spirits after the True Spirit War. The Blue Mountain Elf has always been the focus of our fight. I originally thought she was splitting into After the dark elves, I won’t pay attention to the blue mountain elves if I have helpers here. I didn’t expect that he and Arteus would join forces while I was away... In fact, I have some doubts, Arteus Isn’t Si’s rise too coincidental?”

After Dark Gold said this, Chiron also began to think about this issue seriously.

"Well... indeed, apart from Atreus, Aslan has no other true spirit dancing around, not even Attaran... Even the two of us are just hiding behind the scenes to stir up trouble. There must be more insidious guys hiding and observing secretly. The two guys you mentioned are examples... I had some doubts before that there might be some secret behind the reason why those humans in England were able to get the use of the Key of Destiny. Other true spirits are controlling it, so I have not acted carelessly in these years, deliberately acting like a half-true spirit... Now according to your words, the confrontation between the east and west sides of Aslan's continent may not only be caused by me. The guidance is so simple..."
