Chapter 413: Reason
"Elven Divine Decline......"
Thinking of this, the maid couldn't help but sigh.
This may be the reason why the elves did not engage in an all-out war with the humans, and in that expulsion war, not only the human gods suffered heavy losses, but also the elven gods.
The Ogordon Empire, elves, dwarves, and orcs with strong individual combat power were the main forces of that war, and in the war between the gods and the Grand Arcanists, the 'elves' suffered the heaviest losses.
The gods of other races have fallen, not only the elven gods, but also the gods of the human gods who were stabbed to death by their own gods in the back, and the chaos of the war at the beginning is unimaginable to people now.
However, compared to the elves, the reproductive ability of other races can be said to be strong, whether it is orcs or humans, in the first or two hundred years after the end of that war, it has completely restored its former glory, whether it is divine or secular.
The dwarves wisely retreated into the background, from the arena of the battle for the continent to the background, because both humans and other races have a need for weapons and equipment, so the wise dwarves have also gained time to recuperate.
But only the 'elves', who are not only weak in their reproductive ability, but also naturally beautiful, are a gift from heaven and a natural 'curse' - because they are not guilty, but they are guilty.
Humans who have gradually become the protagonists of the world have become like the Arcanists in the past, and now they are extremely arrogant.
Whether it is the god of light or the god of justice, they have warned the secular nobles not to buy elven slaves, once the elven slaves are out of market, then the business of 'elven slaves' will soon be silent.
But their warnings could not stop the bold nobles, the trade of elven slaves was very secret in human society, even the Church of Radiance and the Church of Justice could not find the slightest clue, although they knew that such a business existed, but they did not know where the slave traders and buyers traded, nor who the buyers were.
All the investigations were like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was not a single wave.
As racial gods, the god of light and the god of justice need to protect human beings, if the elves want to start a full-scale war with humans, the god of light and the god of justice must take action, because that is their duty, and the elven god system is now in decline, and the elves have not fully recovered their vitality, if they want to go to war with humans, it is simply self-defeating.
The gods of light and justice have a friendship with most of the elven gods, but they cannot go against their mission and let war between elves and humans go unchecked.
Each has its own helplessness, plus the Church of Radiance and the Church of Justice have also been secretly actively saving elven slaves, so the relationship between the two gods and the elven gods is good.
In order to protect more people, the elven king and the elven gods can only choose to abandon a few people.
However, their actions have created the rampant of the slave traders, and according to Latinia, several or even a dozen elves disappear from the Star-Moon Forest every year, and the maid does not believe it if there is no acquiescence from the state forces behind this.
The disappearance of elves often represents 'death' - whether it is the death of life or the social death of elven society, it is enough to make elves hate humans.
Selling elven slaves can make more money than the maid imagined, and when the nobleman arrives in Wende City after a few days of handover, the maid will hold the nobleman accountable and punish him harshly to set an example!
Many slave traders had the support of the nobility behind them, especially the slave traders who dared to sell elven slaves, otherwise where did they get the 'Gross Collar'?
Because of the strong resistance of the gods of light and justice and other good gods, this made the human race not go to war with the elves, otherwise, the humans and the elves are doomed to lose, and the elves may be wiped out, or become slaves of the human race, but it is more likely that at the same time as the elves are exterminated, the human race has also been hit hard, and the war situation may even be more tragic than the war more than 800 years ago.
In the face of 'greed', no matter how intelligent a person is, he or she can fall into this original sin and find it difficult to extricate himself.
If the maid allows the 'slave trade' in the Sadwind Realm, then the Sadwind Realm will indeed be able to get more tax revenues, because the slave trade is a legitimate business in the world of Assatom, and even the clergy of the Radiant Church and the Righteous Church will not resist this kind of industry, they only resist the elven slave trade.
The source of slaves was mostly captives, gamblers and merchants who could not repay their loans, villagers who were plundered by bandits, and a small number of civilians who were abducted by slave traders or gangsters.
The slave trade was lucrative everywhere, but maids were not uncommon with the money earned from the slave trade!
She hates human traffickers, and even though it's a well-known common sense in the world of Assatom that 'the slave trade is a legitimate business', her will doesn't change because of these things.
Her education gave her a visceral dislike for slave traders, even though it was a 'legitimate business', but she didn't like it, so she let it disappear in the Sad Winds!
She didn't bother to take care of the affairs of the black market, because there were too many things she had to deal with now, and she still needed to preside over the development of the Sad Wind Territory herself, but who let those nobles and slave traders run into her hands?
When the goddess of wealth asked her why the slave trade was forbidden, she replied:
"I have a visceral, soul-like aversion to slave traders, and I have been taught to know that this is wrong!
"I am out of step with this world because my three views are too different from yours, but I will not change my three views, so I can only reverse your three views. ”
"If I really like money, if I have the opportunity and ability, I will definitely persuade other countries to wage war with me, exterminate the elves, and make their relics and culture invaluable after many years, but this is impossible! We' to describe those who are providers of knowledge—even in the face of alien races, what 'we' are best at is fusion, not extinction first, and then false mourning. ”
"Let the alien race merge with us and become a new race, let the alien culture become our culture, and there will be no more barriers between races, this is what 'we' do best. ”
"Maybe there will be a lot of friction and a lot of disagreements in the process, but if you respect each other, you will always be able to come together in the end, and that's why I banned the slave trade, especially the elven slave trade - because those slave traders are in my way, that's all!"
The other half of the maid's soul comes from the earth and grows under the red flag, even if many people sing the traditional culture of that country, but they don't notice that the traditional culture has long been integrated into daily life in all aspects, and the philosophy from various classics often blurts out from people's mouths.
In that environment, the other half of the soul was influenced by the traditional culture and national spirit and grew up, and in the process of the maid's growth, the other half of the soul had a great influence on her, and the maid's thoughts had long been different from the thoughts of all the people in the world of Assatom.
By the time she appeared in front of the world, she had already begun to change the world—just like now, she was changing the minds of the common people of the Storm.
She doesn't have to plant a red flag here, but she wants to pour those national spirits into the minds of these people and become an indelible trace in their souls!
Now she is still standing at the starting point, but she is also about to take the first step, which is to cooperate with the elves, and now what makes her distressed is the decline of the elven god system and the obstruction of some gods in the human god system.
However, this is not insolvable.
It's just that it's a little difficult......
