Chapter 289: The Elven Queen

Flying all night, heading south along the coastline, seeing the harbor of Neverwinter and then west, the Chief Mage used up his fifth-level spell slots, and finally saw an island growing in size as the distance approached at the intersection of sea level and skyline.

At this time, the sun is slowly rising, and a faint mist is floating on the sea, which is as magnificent as a picture scroll in the morning light.

Yongju Island, the last refuge of the elves of the Faeron Continent, looking down from the sky, you can only see the jungle of giant trees flourishing in the mist, the canopy of the trees covering the entire island, and it is full of green.

The chief mage turned on the arcane vision to see through the hidden circle of Yongju Island, he wore the emblem of the Silver Moon Alliance, and after the magic flashed, the island's protective circle opened the passage and let him enter the island's defense circle.

If it weren't for an archmage, a faithful follower of Goddess Mysra, and an important member of the Silver Moon Alliance, Chief Mage Ditra would not have been qualified to set foot in this pure paradise.

The archmage was flying on the galloping plains of Yongju Island, and a sharp and high eagle chirp was heard in the distance, and elven guards wearing gilt Mithril chain mail flew up on feathered eagles, surrounded him, and circled around him with flying eagles.

Ditra showed the Silver Moon Emblem to the leader of the Elven Guard, and said in a loud voice, "I am Ditra, the Chief Mage of the Mystic Fire Knights, and in the name of Goddess Mysra, I have come to meet the great Elven Queen Allariel, an ally of the Silvermoon Alliance!" ”

The Silver Moon Emblem was a magical token that could not be faked, and the captain of the Feathered Eagle Cavalry only glanced at it and confirmed the identity of the comer.

"Take me to Her Majesty, I have an urgent military situation!"

"Your Excellency, you are a distinguished guest, an old friend of the Eternal Gathering Island, please fly with our Feathered Eagle."

The elven captain gave him a chest salute, flapped his wings on the eagle and accelerated, leading the archmage in the direction of the city of Luhipa.

The feathered eagle flew fast, and the archmage's dragon wing skills were extremely fast, and soon the group flew to the Onduris River, and followed the sparkling river that was flowing towards the elven king city of Leusipa.

The city of Luhipa is a magical city, all the buildings in the city are "grown", the huge sacred tree is carefully cultivated by the elves, and after the transformation of natural magic, the body of the tree forms a long cavity for the house, and the branches are woven into furniture doors and windows.

The Elven Eagle Knights guided the Archmage to the tallest sacred tree in the center of the city, where the branches of the canopy of the sacred tree were woven into a huge platform, on which a magnificent palace sits.

In keeping with the usual Elven dΓ©cor, the palace has oval arches, ornate ornamental reliefs carved into the walls, towering minarets, and magic crystals shining on the spires.

The archmage was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery of the Elven Palace, so he landed at the gate of the palace and walked quickly into the cloister of the palace gate.

Arriving at the main hall of the Elven Palace, the Chief Mage walked to the throne and bowed to the Lady of Allari.

The Elven Queen Allariel was a beautiful woman of no age, with a graceful and elegant temperament, beautiful robes, and a beautiful appearance, and she smiled and saluted the archmage.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to send an elven navy to immediately intercept the fleet of the Bewitching Demon King Bredero!"

As soon as the archmage opened his mouth urgently, he went straight to the point, and explained everything that happened to Ammu in a short word, and as expected, the elven queen frowned and said: "The elves have not intervened in the disputes of the humans in the Faeron continent for nearly a hundred years, and this time will not be an exception, Your Excellency Mage, I'm sorry, I can't let the elven warriors sacrifice their lives for the meaningless conquest of the human race." ”。

Chief Mage Ditra was silent for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the extermination of Bredero's evil forces is not just a conquest between humans, Bredero's heresy spreads, and sooner or later the elven kingdom will be destroyed because of this, and the elves will definitely turn their backs on the elven gods, or die under the guns of the red believers, or become red believers!" ”

Queen Anlari shook her head with a smile and said, "You are too alarmist, the elves are different from humans, our belief in the gods is more firm and pious, and the short-lived human beings are driven by desire to achieve quick success, and will commit depraved evil deeds such as treachery." ”

"Dragons, elves, lichs, vampires, ......"

The archmage sneered and said: "These immortals, who are born with superior talents than other races, I dare to assert that once the followers of Bredrow's heresy are all over the continent, the immortals will definitely lose all their original noble status, and the advantages of the race will instead become disadvantages, and the higher races will be reduced to backward races, far from the center of the stage of the Faeron Continent, becoming a marginal group, gradually declining, and finally forgotten in the long river of history." ”

The Queen was a little annoyed, and the archmage repeatedly uttered horrific words, which made her very unhappy, and because the human mage was not in a low position in the Silver Moon Alliance, the queen did not immediately order him to be expelled from the royal court.

With patience, the Elven Queen asked, "Then please explain why the Elven Kingdom was destroyed by Bredrow's heresy." ”

"The elven race is gifted and born with a gift from the gods, but correspondingly, the breeding efficiency of the immortal species is very low, and the individual learning efficiency and growth rate are far inferior to that of humans."

The archmage pondered the sentence and explained seriously: "Elves have a lifespan of more than three hundred years, and it takes a hundred years to become adults, and the pace of life is several times slower than that of humans. Elves are also less efficient at learning than humans, and they require much more experience than humans. ”

"So what?" The Elven Queen said displeasedly: "It is precisely because of our long lifespan that the magical knowledge and magic creation technology we inherited from our ancestors are more complete, so that we have magical creations that surpass the humans of the Faren Continent. ”

The archmage said seriously: "The key is that the elves are good at inheriting their ancestors, being close to nature, and living quietly and peacefully, so that the elves do not have the same urgent desire for progress as humans. ”

As he spoke, he took out the guns and bombs he had captured in Amm from his dimensional pouch and showed them to the Elven Queen.

"I've also carefully studied Bredrow's Red heresy from the books and Shadow Discs I have seized." The archmage continued: "At the heart of this heresy, in addition to putting people first and believing in themselves, another important point is to develop productive forces, to constantly innovate, to develop new technologies, and to constantly create tools that allow people to work, fight, and live more efficiently. ”

"Can you imagine? If the red believers spread to the entire Faren Continent, the productive forces will continue to develop, and the speed of development will become faster and faster. ”

The archmage said: "A giant dragon has been sleeping for a hundred years, but when it wakes up, it finds that human beings have created an iron eagle as big as a dragon, and it sleeps for another hundred years, and when it wakes up, it finds that human beings have built a huge magic ship that can fly in the astral plane, and that kind of magic ship can destroy mountains with one shot!" The rule that the more sleepy the dragon is, the stronger it becomes, and the more sleepy the dragon, the weaker its strength becomes. ”

"Since hundreds of years ago, the innovation of tools, weapons, and technology in the Faren Continent has basically stagnated, and the technology inherited from the elves from the ancestors has always been far ahead of humans, and the elves with slow-paced living habits, if you are facing the red believers who are 'seizing the day', all your leads will be quickly overtaken, and after a generation or two, you will be like a dragon, sleeping and growing to increase your strength, far behind the speed at which the red believers are crazy to develop new tools and weapons."

If Bredero's red heresy is allowed to spread, the dragon will become weaker and weaker the more he sleeps? Elves can no longer enjoy a comfortable and peaceful life, and will be overtaken by the rapidly developing human race in comfort, becoming a marginal race, a backward race?

Queen Allari's expression became serious, and she began to think about the words of the Archmage.
