Proof of the Sun King
Chapter 18: , elves, dwarves, humans
After Ryan came to this world, he found that this world also has a fantasy iron triangle, elves, dwarves, and humans.
However, the relationship between the three is different from the novels like The Lord of the Rings that Ryan has read.
Elves, the darlings of heaven and earth, they are born with a strong affinity for magic. Any elves can easily serve as wizards and other professions. They are handsome and powerful. Elves have created a very brilliant cosmic civilization thousands of years ago. , when their cities moved in the cosmic void, and their splendid civilization bloomed among the stars.
However, when civilization reaches its peak, it is accompanied by relaxation and indulging enjoyment, and even extreme death. When elves indulge in the worship of all things in the void, disasters also occur, and some elves Unexpectedly eyeing the power of the gods, they battled the gods in the void, followed by civil strife, a terrible civil war that swept all elven civilizations.
At the same time, according to some dark historical records, one of the Four Chaos Gods was conceived and appeared in that civil strife.
Hundreds of years later, the splendid civilization of the elves in the past has turned into ruins and bubbles. Under the huge civil strife and the suppression of the gods, the elves lost 99% of the population, and the level of magic and science and technology went back thousands of years ago. The rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled had to settle down on the mainland, and it was at that time that the last elves came into contact with humans and taught them magic.
The dwarves come from the mountains. They claim to be the people of the earth. The dwarves do not understand magic, but the technology is advanced. They are irritable, extremely vengeful and have no mercy. As the aborigines of this world, they and the elves After a conflict broke out, the two races were involved in the war. The already extremely weak elves were hit hard again, but the glorious civilization of the past still exists. After thousands of years of war, the dwarves were beaten and retreated. He was driven into the depths of the mountains. Seeing that he was about to be wiped out by the elves, the dwarf Supreme King Khazadni-Tiemen had to send a messenger to a nearby human tribe for help.
The luck of the dwarves, the misfortune of the elves, because the name of the human tribe is called Caroling, and the name of the chief is Charlemagne.
In the past, the relationship between dwarves and humans was not good, but Charlemagne decided to support the dwarves despite all opinions. He personally led the human warriors to set off, over the mountains and mountains, and suddenly appeared behind the elf army and launched an attack.
Do humans have elf troops that are good at fighting? That is impossible. The elf army has a brilliant cultural background, and is much stronger than humans in terms of tactics and formation.
Are human beings equipped with elven armies? It is also impossible. Humans at that time only had a superficial manufacturing process and made simple weapons.
However, the blood and bravery displayed by the human army deeply shocked the elves. The elves who were used to fighting the master battle and the step-by-step positional warfare faced the army that suddenly appeared from behind, and the battle was in chaos. The demoralized elf army was in chaos. The front-line commander was killed by Charlemagne and beheaded in a few seconds. The dwarves attacked from both sides, and the elf army was wiped out.
After this battle, humans and dwarves forged the most sacred covenant. Charlemagne and Kazadni agreed that when dwarves needed help, humans would be obliged to lend a hand, and when humans faced difficulties, dwarves would also Go all out.
This agreement is called the "Holy Alliance", and it is still valid to this day.
Combining the high technology of dwarves and the powerful learning ability of humans, Charlemagne led his army to sweep the world.
Two hundred years later, the last formed elf army on the mainland was defeated by the combined forces of humans and dwarves. The Eternal King of the elves also died in that battle. The elves had to make peace with the humans, and most of the elves chose to withdraw from the mainland. , went to the island to recuperate, they called themselves high elves.
Later, the dark elves were split among the high elves.
There are also a small number of elves who choose to stay in the forests on the mainland and call themselves wood elves.
The forest of San Lorenzo is the main settlement of the wood elves.
The wood elves are indifferent to the world. The only thing they care about is their own forest. There are only very few circumstances that will cause the wood elves to leave the forest, but Estelle is not, he is a half-elves.
The race of half-elves is a beautiful accident.
As we all know, there is no reproductive isolation between humans and elves. Although most elves live in forests or islands, occasionally some elves will travel on the mainland or settle in human settlements. Elves are fascinated by humans. The vitality of the human beings are attracted by the grace of the elves, so the two occasionally intermarry. For elves, such marriages are short-lived by the shortness of human life. However, they left behind children, half-elf children.
It is difficult for half-elves to live in elf society, because they are too precocious, and there will be a feeling of being out of place in elf society. On the other hand, if they live in human society, half-elves will appear to grow slowly. Half-elves all live in human society. Because human society is more inclusive, it is easy to have a sense of identity. There are also a few half-elves who choose to live in a place where there are only half-elves. Ryan has heard that there is a free city-state in the southern part of the mainland. The city dedicated to half-elves is called Twilight City.
Due to the particularity of their identities, half-elves get along well with various races. Humans, dwarves, halflings, etc. can become friends of half-elves. They just hate half-orcs, but the latter are basically extinct on the mainland.
"I've long admired Mr. Ryan's name. I've heard news about your activity in Nord for a few years." The half-elf came up with a long list of flattery, but Ryan didn't take this set: "If you have anything to say Well, Mr. Estelle."
The smile on the half-elf's face stopped.
The excellent appearance brought by blood has always been his capital in human society.
"Please speak directly, Mr. Half-elf." Teresa also reminded. For some reason, the sorceress always felt that the appearance of this person was a bit of a hindrance.
"Yes, please say it directly, Mr. Estelle, we knights prefer a direct way. If you have any requests, you can say it directly. I have something else to do next." Ryan didn't bother to chat with him.
"It's like this, Mr. Lane, I am employed by the imperial merchant Mats. Mr. Mats' caravan is now trapped in this town. We want to leave early for Mjordenhaven and look for opportunities to go to sea, but we can't see each other. When I got to Mr. Lord, I heard that Mr. Lane and Mr. Willard are familiar with each other, can you recommend us?" Estelle felt that Lane was not joking, so he directly stated his intentions.
The half-elf's tone is soft and full of elegance, and the handsome appearance can easily make people feel like a spring breeze.
"Is it a recommendation..." Ryan touched his chin and fell into thought.
According to the news from Oliver yesterday, as the half-elf said, several caravans are now trapped in Kalzenhaven. Due to the large-scale deployment of northern barbarians and the infestation of sea monsters, the port of Kalzenhaven will definitely not be able to go to sea in a short time. , and so on, the road to the north will definitely not work.
The choice left to the merchants is Mjordenhaven, the largest port in the Nord Kingdom in the south.
But the road from Kalzenhaven to Mjordenhaven is not safe. There are two mountains to climb in the middle, Hordaland and Scarwell. The mountains are full of danger, as I have said before.
If Ryan guessed correctly, the merchants might want to pay Villard to send troops to protect them.
The half-elf saw the frown of the kingdom knight. Estelle thought that Ryan was implying something, so he slowed down and even looked down: "Don't worry, Mr. Ryan, there must be a reward afterwards."
"That's not what I meant." Ryan raised his hand to indicate that he didn't mean that. He didn't want to take advantage of others for the sake of two stinky money.
He was thinking about going with him, because he and Theresa might also go to Mjordenhaven.
Teresa was standing beside Ryan leaning on a staff. She had no friendship with Willard and didn't want to get involved in it. I don't know why, the status of a spellcaster, which has always been very popular, has nothing to do with Willard. use.
"There is a banquet tonight." After a while, Ryan said slowly.
"Banquet?"
"Yes, at 6:30 in the evening, Lord Willard will hold a banquet at his home. My suggestion is that if Mr. Mats intends to contact the Lord, then finding a way to participate in this banquet may be an ideal result. ." Ryan said: "Because of some things, it is inconvenient for me to come forward directly, but I can tell you that if there is no accident, I also plan to go south, so keep in touch."
"I will tell Mr. Mats the truth." Ryan may have to go south, which is the best news that Estelle has heard in the past two days. Even so, the half-elf still maintains his gentle attitude. He hugged his chest, raised his chin, signaled that he knew, and then gave a salute.
After speaking, the half-elf left without saying hello.
"Let's go to the pier and have a look." Ryan shrugged and smiled at Teresa: "What a handsome half-elf, isn't it?"
"Well, indeed, his attitude is a bit arrogant, but it's not very offensive." The sorceress followed with her staff, although the half-elf's attitude was a little arrogant and distant, but it really made people not disgusted. On the contrary, there is a feeling that this kind of person is like this.
"This is the racial talent of half-elves. Half-elves are born with an aura that makes people approachable. This power comes from their elf blood, and their human blood is easy to get our approval, so although he is a little arrogant , but we are not prone to resentment." Ryan nodded.
This is the racial talent of half-elves. These hybrids are born with a high charm bonus, so they can often walk among the major forces and act as messengers. They were popular at high society banquets and at court.
Half-elves are not like real elves. High elves regard human beings as "uncivilized monkeys". Half-elves will at best feel that their bloodline is noble and their words are a bit arrogant. The chain of contempt between them is far more than the arrogance of the half-elf.
"Yes, a lot of nobles like to have a half-elf lover, and then the end result is that when they get old, the half-elf is still very young." Teresa also knew a lot of such things, the Garland councilors always haunt the Between the various banquets of high society.
Half-elves can live between 180 and 250 years old, even at ordinary levels, far stronger than short-lived species like humans.
"But it seems that you are indifferent to his high charm?" the sorceress said curiously.
"That's because..." Ryan deliberately sold off.
"because?"
"First of all, I don't like men, and then... With such a beautiful lady by my side, how could I be deceived by an ordinary half-elf?" The kingdom knight set his eyes on the sorceress's beautiful face , In the middle of the winter season, the sorceress's beautiful face did not fade at all, her skin was thick, her eyes were bright and her teeth were bright, and Li Yan was smiling.
The woman didn't speak, but her raised mouth and twinkling eyes revealed her mood.
"Of course, at the end of the day, I'm not interested in men, and everything else is unimportant." Ryan added at the end, and the sorceress's face immediately sank: "The last sentence is okay if you say it in your heart."
"Honestness is one of the eight virtues of a knight, dear Teresa."
"It's not a gentleman's job to make a lady sad."
"Ha, whether I am a knight or a gentleman does not change according to your needs. A knight is my bones, and a gentleman is my flesh and blood. The two are inseparable, but there is a choice, right?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, a knight who likes sophistry?"
"A warlock who likes to chatter?"
The journey quickly reached the end in the words of the two people, and the two arrived at the port terminal in Kalzenhaven.
In the middle of winter, Lane saw a white sea and blue sky. Unless the temperature in this world is extremely cold, under the blessing of the **** of the sea, the sea will rarely be frozen. On the port dock, a large number of fishing boats and A small number of various passenger ships, merchant ships moored in the port, fishermen, sailors, and guards and tax collectors on the docks come and go. When they see someone coming, everyone gathers up, and the ragged sailors and dock workers think about it. To see if they can receive a new job entrustment, some of them are wearing simple single clothes in the cold weather, carrying the family's livelihood through hard work.
Many people were dirty, their beards were clumped up, and their hair was just **** casually. Seeing them swarming up, the sorceress subconsciously took a half step back. Seeing this, Ryan took a half step forward to protect Teresa behind him.
After seeing the knight badge on Ryan's chest, everyone subconsciously stepped back, and only one person who looked like a leader came up: "Excuse me, Sir Knight, do you have any work for us to pick up?"
After the ports on the mainland have experienced thousands of years of development or even longer, the sailors at the docks have begun to find people like contractors, which makes it much easier for Ryan to do things.
He inquired in detail about the situation of the visitors that night. Seeing that there was no work to do, everyone scattered, only the foreman answered the question: "Yes, my lord, there was indeed such a person who came to this pier the day before yesterday. Your lord, you said that he was wearing an outdated suit, but it was a little different. I remember that the man was wearing a face towel, and he was not wearing a high-top round hat, but a wide-brimmed round hat."
"and then?"
"He told us that he was in a hurry~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He had a relative in Marienburg and was seriously ill. He was in a hurry to get back, so he immediately asked for a fast boat. It was very late at that time. The captain of the boat is not willing to go to sea, and we all feel that something is wrong. Although the man said something urgent, he doesn’t seem to be in a hurry at all. I always feel like he is laughing, as if… excited.” The foreman said strangely. .
"very excited?"
"Well, but as you know, Sir Knight, we are all rough people and don't understand this. The cost of a clipper from here to Marienburg is usually three to five gold dinars. At that time, he asked the price, Several ship bosses took the opportunity to offer ten gold dinars, but do you know what happened? That weirdo actually took out fifteen gold dinars, picked the best and fastest clipper, and left the port like this ."
Are you in a hurry to run away? Ryan and Teresa looked at each other, already knowing the answer in their hearts.
"There's something else... what sound?!" Ryan was waiting to ask more, when a subtle rhythm sounded from the ground.
"What's the sound of something?" Teresa felt it immediately. At this time, some seasoned fishermen and sailors also realized that something was wrong. The horses and geldings tied to the pier kept neighing, and a puppy couldn't stop Live barking.
"This is... not good!" Ryan subconsciously looked at the place where the strange voice was.
What he saw was the rough sea, and countless shadows were shaking under the sea.
"Teresa, back off!" Ryan immediately signaled the sorceress to back off, her body hadn't recovered yet.
"Prepare to fight! Prepare to fight!"
"As a white wolf knight, I order all the guards on the dock to obey!"
"Arrange! The archers are in the front and the swordsmen are in the back, ready to meet the enemy!"
