Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 222



[Chapter 222 The Mystery of Brunnia Continent]

After listening to Elfrida’s description, the people present were not surprised that the dark elf priestess hated humans so much.

If what the other party said was all true, then the dark elves were equivalent to being exterminated by humans. This hatred did not attack as soon as they met, probably because Elfrida’s current state could not really hurt everyone present.

Through Elfrida’s narration, David was also sorting out various information.

The dark elves came from places outside the Brunnia continent;

humans also suddenly appeared on the Brunnia continent like the dark elves;

now, there is also a group of orcs who suddenly appeared on the northern plains. Is there any connection between them?

The half-orc that the dark elves destroyed? Does it still exist now? Or was it completely destroyed by the dark elves?

In addition, according to Elfrida’s description, the civilization of the dark elves at that time seemed to be about to enter a new level, and the strength of the country was also very strong. How did they lose to the humans who suddenly appeared?

He asked all his questions, and the questions he asked were also what everyone present wanted to know.

Including Cecil and his sister, they also wanted to know the answers to these questions.

Elfrida was very unhappy. She didn’t want to talk to David, who was a human, but maybe she was too depressed. She wanted to talk to someone, even if it was a human enemy.

At least, there were two guys in front of her who looked like compatriots. She just stared at them and explained.

The focus was Enid. Elfrida’s eyes mainly stayed on Enid. When introducing various information about the priests of the goddess of night, she even praised Enid for her good talent. If it was in the era she lived in, she would have been trained as a priestess early.

Maybe Elfrida wanted to pass on the true faith of the dark elves, so she answered all the questions raised by David so happily.

As Elfrida told the story, everyone also learned more information.

A long time ago, when the dark elves came to the Brunnia continent, the continent was ruled by a race called orcs.

But the so-called orcs did not establish a unified country. They were more like a union of several tribes. This is because orcs, strictly speaking, cannot be considered “the same race.”

Tiger people, leopard people, minotaurs, centaurs, etc., these races with half-human and half-beast characteristics are collectively called orcs.

They usually only live together with people of the same race, and choose suitable places on the vast Brunnia continent to build towns belonging to their own ethnic groups.

It is precisely because the orcs are not unified and united that they are easily defeated by the dark elves.

“Under the protection of the goddess of night, the dark elves defeated the enemy like a dead tree and rotten wood when facing the towns ruled by this group of ignorant fools, and soon became the new rulers of the continent.”

Among them, the tiger people, leopard people, werewolves and other races resisted the most fiercely, so they were thoroughly cleansed by the dark elves; the rest, such as the minotaurs, resisted less intensely, and did not resist the rule of the dark elves very strongly, so some minotaurs survived. The

centaurs escaped because of their own talents. They were too good at escaping living on the vast plains. The dark elves spent a lot of energy chasing them for a period of time, and after greatly reducing the number of centaurs, they were too lazy to care about these guys.

As long as the centaurs don’t cause trouble for the dark elves, the dark elves won’t continue to target them.

This is also the reason why these two races still exist on this continent.

David and the people next to him looked at each other and thought of another thing: Before the orcs ruled the continent, what race was the master of Brunnia? Did they survive? When did the elves appear on this continent?

Without asking in a hurry, everyone continued to listen to Elfrida answer several other questions.

Because under the protection of the goddess of night, the dark elves occupied the entire continent, making the goddess of night the only belief of the dark elves, and the priests of the goddess of night also established their transcendent status in the tribe.

Of course, while the priests have gained status, they must also make sufficient contributions to the development of the entire dark elves.

The entire dark elf kingdom, with the concerted efforts of the high priests and priests, continued to advance, and the dark elves gradually entered the most prosperous period.

It was during this period that humans appeared!

Like the dark elves in the past, humans also came to this continent from overseas, and like the dark elves in the past, they defeated the dark elves’ army like a crushing blow.

The most important point is that humans also have the blessing of the true gods, and even have the protection of more gods than the dark elves.

“Humans have obtained various powerful blessings by building altars of various gods… whether it is a good harvest or a strong fighting force…”

David’s heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Laura beside him. They both remembered the altar ruins they had found.

When Elfrida said that humans were blessed by various gods, he thought they were the gods worshipped in the temple. He didn’t expect that it was another group of gods who helped humans seize the hegemony of the continent?

“Could it be that the gods believed in by humans are stronger than the goddess of night?” Enid was a little puzzled. They were all gods who could help a group seize the entire continent. Why couldn’t the dark elves who believed in the goddess of night resist the attack of humans?

“…” Speaking of this question, Elfrida suddenly became very silent, and it took a long time before she gave the answer: “After the appearance of humans, the goddess of night no longer responded to the prayers of the dark elves.”

According to Elfrida’s description, the dark elves suspected that humans had done something?

For example, they set up a certain barrier to cut off the connection between the dark elves and the goddess of night.

For this reason, the dark elves made various attempts to crack the conspiracy of humans, but to no avail.

The kingdom of the dark elves was torn apart by the attack of humans, and with the gradual collapse of faith, the entire dark elf group completely collapsed.

Some dark elves wanted to fight humans to the death, and gathered all their combat power to fight humans!

Even a small number of dark elves are ready to contact the tauren, centaurs, and even quite hostile elves to establish an anti-human alliance.

Some dark elves want to find a way to reconnect with the goddess of night, such as going to various special places on the continent, building temples to call the goddess, hoping that the goddess who once protected the dark elves to the peak will guide them out of trouble again.

There are also some dark elves who want to give up everything and escape to a place where humans can’t catch up to survive!

The dark elves with various ideas are completely divided, and different people hold different ideas and embark on different paths.

But whether it is the die-hard faction or the goddess-seeking faction, they all despise the group of dark elves who want to escape, calling them traitors!

As Elfrida’s narration came to an end, Cecil finally figured out what the historical truth he wanted to explore was?

Why was some of the historical information he had seen before incomplete, and there were traces of deletions and modifications of various conflicts.

If what Elfrida said was the truth, then these things were all black history for the Eternal Night Empire, no wonder they didn’t want to be known by future generations.

As for abandoning faith, Cecil didn’t take it too seriously.

It was the goddess of night who gave up the dark elves first. Is it strange that such a god was abandoned by the descendants of the dark elves?

As for the high priest in front of him, in his eyes, he was just an old antique who lived in the past and refused to face the truth!

David’s questions were answered, and Elfrida asked a few questions.

Cecil could answer some of these questions, but not others, and Elfrida did not ask other humans or elves.

After finding that she could not ask more information, she made up her mind to ask Enid if she wanted to accept her inheritance and become the new high priest of the goddess of night.

“Is it necessary to continue to worship and believe in a god who abandoned his believers when the dark elves faced a crisis of survival?”

Enid and Cecil had similar ideas and had no good feelings for the goddess of night, and her words also made Elfrida very dissatisfied.

The priestess firmly believed that the great goddess of night would never abandon her people. It must be that humans or the evil gods that humans believed in used some means to imprison the great goddess of night.

“So, a waste that can be easily imprisoned by the enemy and cannot protect his own people seems to have no need to continue to believe in it…”

Cecil and Enid did not say this. Cecil always gave people the impression of being polite and careful with his words. The only people who would use such words were Tony Stark… and David.

However, David only complained in his heart and did not say it directly like Tony did.

“Instead of continuing to believe in the goddess of night, why not consider the gods of humans… Do you know which gods humans believed in at that time?”

Tony complained and angered Elfrida while trying to get information and intelligence.

The enraged Elfrida did not think too much and directly said the titles of several “evil gods”: “Harvest Goddess Leluti and War God Sehe.”

“Well, under the protection of this war god named Sehe, humans completely destroyed the kingdom established by the dark elves. He must be a very powerful god… I think even if Enid wants to become a priest, she should choose to serve this war god instead of the goddess of night.”

“Foolish human, you will pay the price for these words!”

Elfrida fell into a state of rage, completely forgetting her current state, and raised the long staff in her hand.

Everyone present suddenly noticed something strange: with Elfrida’s action, the roof of the hall turned into a night sky dotted with countless stars. At the same time, a terrifying pressure appeared out of thin air and enveloped everyone.

Elfrida found that the goddess of night actually responded to her, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

But her joy did not last for more than two seconds. The next second, the night sky dotted with stars was torn into pieces by the dazzling sacred light!
