[Chapter 221: Game of Thrones on Brunnia]
The light swept over Enid and then disappeared.
The whole process happened quickly and suddenly, with almost no signs. When everyone reacted, the light had disappeared.
Cecil’s reaction was fast enough. When he noticed the abnormality, he pulled his sister back a long distance, and then asked Enid if she felt anything unusual.
“I’m fine.” Enid also checked herself up and down, and after carefully feeling it, she didn’t notice anything wrong, but she still pulled out the two long swords inserted in her waist and held them in her hands.
“Or, let’s retreat first?” As soon as Cecil said this, he heard a loud bang.
Everyone looked over the sound and found that the corridor they walked through when they came here had a stone door that closed the corridor.
“…”
David looked at the stone door and then looked at the “companions” around him. He didn’t feel any worry, and reminded Cecil at the same time: “The stone platform has changed.”
Except for Cecil who was concerned about his sister, everyone else noticed the changes in the stone platform at the first time.
The ordinary stone platform suddenly began to crack from the center after emitting a beam of light, like a blooming flower turning into petals one by one. Then a sphere with strange patterns engraved on the surface slowly floated into the air from below.
“What is that?” Steve carefully observed the patterns on it. It had a similar style to the patterns he had seen at the door. It should be the creation of the dark elves.
He was actually asking Cecil this question, hoping that this archaeologist from the dark elf kingdom could answer everyone’s questions.
Unfortunately, Cecil didn’t know what this thing was. He curiously observed the sphere, trying to figure out what the patterns on it symbolized.
“I will sleep here forever… until the descendants who are qualified to inherit the position of priests find me…”
What surprised everyone was that the person who read this paragraph was not Cecil, the dark elf archaeologist, nor Enid who was scanned by the unknown light, but David!
“Can you understand the text on it?” Tony had been using his armor to scan the sphere not far away, but he got all kinds of warnings: the sphere contained very powerful energy, which was somewhat similar to the dark energy used on Cecil’s ship, but there were many differences.
As for the lines on it, he had already transmitted the data to Jarvis, who was still analyzing and sorting it out.
As a result, before the price side analyzed the results, David had already said the content on it.
“A talent!”
David had just realized that his language talent had been upgraded. He glanced at Laura beside him. He originally thought that this ability was just to allow him to communicate better with people from different worlds. He
never thought that this ability would change after the upgrade: the language and writing of the dark elves, let alone contact with it before, he didn’t even know that such a thing existed.
As a result, he only took a few glances, but he could easily understand the true meaning of the expression on it.
Everyone didn’t get too entangled with David’s special ability. They were no longer surprised that David had all kinds of strange abilities.
What they cared about was the information revealed in David’s words: I will sleep here forever… Who is this “I”?
The answer was soon revealed. The sphere was suspended in the air, emitting bursts of light, and a translucent figure appeared in front of everyone.
The same blue skin as Cecil and Enid, silver-white waist-length hair draped behind the back, the same high-defense armor as Enid, and a long staff inlaid with unknown crystals in his hand. The
translucent dark elf phantom opened his eyes, and his blue pupils were like the deep sea, as if they could swallow up everything running towards him.
“Hmm?”
The translucent female dark elf glanced at everyone present and noticed the composition of the people in the field.
“So many humans? And elves? This is really a strange combination.”
“Oh? What’s strange?”
The female dark elf spoke a strange language. In addition to the dark elf brothers and sisters, only David could understand it.
But the next second, Medivh also mastered this language.
“A human who knows the Dark Elf language?” The translucent female Dark Elf did not continue chatting with David, but looked at Cecil and Enid, and finally looked at Enid for a few times: “You are the one who woke me up! I am really disappointed. I thought it would be an excellent descendant who came here…”
Before the female Dark Elf finished her complaints, she was interrupted by Cecil: “Who are you?”
“Rude guy, didn’t the Dark Elf teach you that you should be respectful when facing a high priest?”
“High priest? What high priest?”
“…”
The conversation between the two was translated by David to everyone, and everyone finally understood the situation.
This translucent female Dark Elf should be a high priest, and she may have had an unusual status among the Dark Elves in the past.
Cecil from the Eternal Night Empire didn’t know the high priest, who was an expert in history and archaeology.
The information revealed in it suddenly became worth looking forward to.
“I think there may be a lot of good shows to watch next.”
Tony’s words attracted the approval of everyone, and also attracted the dissatisfaction of the priestess.
“Human, it’s best not to anger me!” The priestess used the common language of Brunnia this time. Although she had an accent that was even weirder than that of the brother and sister, at least everyone could understand it directly.
Tony didn’t take the priestess’s threat to heart at all. Although the priestess had only said a few words since she appeared, these words had revealed enough information. The priestess was likely to be a member of the group that was completely submerged by the torrent of history.
Even she herself might be a dead person! She looked no different from the so-called ghost now.
At this time, the ghost-like priestess seemed to realize something. She looked at the dark elf brother and sister and asked about their origins and the situation of the dark elves in the world today?
“We are the dark elves of the Evernight Empire. I am an archaeologist. My name is Cecil, and this is my sister Enid.”
With Cecil’s brief introduction, the priestess learned that the Evernight Empire is the only dark elf kingdom at present, and there are also a group of exiled dark elves living in the Lost Land.
These contents have not yet made the priestess react, but when Cecil introduced the specific situation of the Evernight Empire, the unhappy look on the priestess’s face can be seen by anyone who is not blind.
“The Evernight Empire… Heh, it turns out that it was established by that group of traitors…”
“Traitors…”
Cecil was a little dissatisfied with the priestess’s evaluation, while David and others had a look of eating melons on their faces, waiting for more revelations.
In order not to disturb the conversation of these dark elves, David resisted the urge to take out snacks from the space.
The priestess kept talking with Cecil and Enid, and David translated appropriately.
Everyone gradually figured out the specific situation.
Once the entire Brunnia continent was ruled by dark elves, and the dark elves established an extremely powerful and huge country.
In the kingdom of the dark elves, the priests who serve the goddess of night have a very high status. Elfrida in front of him is a high priest of the goddess of night with a high status and great respect.
In addition, the priests of the goddess of night are all women. At that time, the status of women in the dark elves was far higher than that of male dark elves.
Even in the eyes of some female dark elves, men are just tools for reproduction and hard labor.
Although with the gradual development of the empire, the number of dark elves holding this old idea is slowly decreasing, but the concept of women being superior to men has not changed fundamentally until the emergence of humans.
“Wait… the emergence of humans?”
Cecil heard an extraordinary message from Elfrida: Humans are not a race that originally existed on the Brunnia continent? Did they appear later?
“Is there anything strange about this? The dark elves were not originally a race living on the Brunnia continent.”
“…”
Cecil was stunned by the two consecutive news, and the people who were eating melons on the side also felt that the trip was worthwhile. As expected, they ate a lot of melons.
With Elfrida’s introduction, everyone knew that the home of the dark elves was located to the east of Brunnia continent, where there was a huge island where the dark elves originally lived.
However, as the race grew larger, the island became increasingly barren and scarce, and the resources could no longer allow the dark elves to continue living here.
With several consecutive natural disasters, the entire island seemed to be on the verge of collapse and disappearance, and the dark elves had to migrate to Brunnia continent.
“We came here, defeated the orcs who originally ruled Brunnia continent, and established an era belonging to the dark elves.”
After nearly a thousand years of development, when the dark elves seemed to be entering a new era, humans appeared!
“Just like when we first came to Brunnia and defeated the orcs, humans posed a huge threat to our rule, and the dark elves and humans started a war that lasted for countless years.”
As for the result…
“The dark elves retreated to the west of the continent and established the Evernight Empire, and humans occupied the east of the continent?”
Elfrida simply curled her lips at Cecil’s words, showing obvious disdain: “A group of traitors who abandoned their people and their beliefs do not deserve to be called dark elves!”
Without waiting for Cecil to ask, Elfrida gave another description: “Real dark elves never retreat. From your previous description, my real people have all died in the war with humans… and you are just the descendants of a group of traitors… No wonder you mixed with humans.”
