Chapter 121: Chronicles of the Elf



This... the Second Age's Subordinate Gods are really full of hidden talents. In the front there is the "Dragon of Wisdom" Herabergen, and in the back there is the "God of the Dead" Salinger. These are all great figures who eventually became Sequence 0 and ascended to the throne of God. Of course, the "Dragon of Wisdom" cannot be confirmed yet, but it is just possible that it is not small...

Well, there are also the "God of Dawn" Badhair and the "Goddess of Harvest" Omibella. It is not ruled out that they have lived to the Fifth Epoch and are living well... I wonder if the "God of Spiritual Creatures" Tolzna and the "Goddess of Misfortune" Amanesis escaped the war of gods at the end of the Second Epoch when the Creator of Silver City "took back" his authority? If they did, what role did they play in the Third Epoch or even the Fourth Epoch? After a moment of astonishment, Klein sighed in his heart.

Thinking of the betrayal of the Angel Kings of the Third Age, he couldn't help but complain in his heart:

Beware of fire, theft and God!

At this time, Audrey, who didn't know much about the true names and powers of the gods, remained calm and played the roles of the female elves in Siatas's memory, constantly chatting with her and letting her tell her about the events of the Second Age that she had experienced and known.

According to Siatas, in the chronicles of the elves, there was no concept of the First Age and the Second Age. The first countless years were chaotic, dark, and crazy, with no written records left. It was not until the extraordinary races gradually gained a certain level of rationality and had their own writing that living beings began to have a certain understanding of history.

In that era, ancient gods appeared one after another, and the sky, earth, ocean, and underground slowly transitioned from absolute disorder to a certain order. But except for the ancient gods who were both tyrannical and crazy, no one could figure out how many years this stage took. They only knew that it was a very long time, and it was called the "germination period" by the major supernatural races.

After the "germination era" came the "fire's first glory era" in which the eight ancient gods fought against each other in different camps. This was also long ago when Siatas was born. She could only learn from the chronicles of her tribe that at that time, "pan-humans" fought against non-human races and resisted the pollution and erosion of demons and magic wolves. Among them, humans existed as giants, elves, vampire vassals, and even slaves.

The duration of the "Age of the First Glory of Fire" varies in different records, but the common point is that it was less than a thousand years, because the nature of the ancient gods is madness, tyranny, cruelty, and coldness, and they are often driven by instinct.

After the death of the blood clan ancestor Lilith, the alien king Kvasthun, and the "Destruction Wolf" Flegra in a betrayal, the "Era of the First Glory of Fire" came to an end. Wars broke out frequently, and the world was damaged, which lasted for hundreds of years.

Because giants and dragons were relatively powerful during this period, it was called the "Twin Ages".

When the five major races formed a new balance and the North Continent, South Continent, East Continent, and the five oceans restored a certain peace, Siatas was born and grew up in this era until she entered "Groselle's Travels".

In the history she described, there were two most important pieces of information. One was that the East Continent did exist, where the "Giant King's Court" was located. The other was that after the "Era of Emergence", the major supernatural races actually had their own civilizations, and were not as irrational as later generations suspected. Of course, tyranny, cruelty, coldness, and bloodlust were prevalent, and all seemed to be at least half out of control. It was not until after the "Era of Twins" that the new generation of elves and giants became more rational and had emotions, like Siatas and Groselle.

"The Eastern Continent seems to be the 'Forsaken Land of God'... Was it abandoned during the Cataclysm?" Similar thoughts occurred to Klein, Leonard, and Audrey at the same time.

They were all very interested in this, but unfortunately, Xiatas had always lived in the Elf King's palace, and occasionally went out only to cruise on the sea. She had never been to the East Continent and lacked sufficient understanding.

Influenced by "Justice" Audrey, Siatas's dreams began to show the living customs and language origins of the elves.

According to the legend that the queen's maid had heard, the Elvish language was created by the king in the "germination period". The appearance of each word was accompanied by the birth of a first-generation elf. There were as many first-generation elves as there were Elvish words.

The living customs of the elves are not very unified and depend heavily on the surrounding environment. There is no doubt that the customs of the elves in the ocean and the elves in the forest are very different.

What they have in common is that they believe in the king and his queen who are ancient gods; they like to use the blood of prey to make food; the cooking method of roasting is widely used, and even sea elves often go to the reef to have a "bonfire party"; they are close to nature and good at using various spices; they admire the strong and are proud of acting faster than thinking...

Myths and reality are mixed together, and it is difficult to distinguish which are true and which are false... The living customs have shattered some of my previous speculations... Klein listened with a seemingly unchanged expression, and quickly analyzed every word that Siatas said in his mind.

After figuring out the relevant things, Audrey used the keyword "Western Continent" to change Siatas's dream, reflecting some memories in her subconscious.

The coral palace returned to the eyes of Klein and the other two. Siatas followed the "Queen of Natural Disasters" Cosinamu and walked to a crystal window.

She glanced at the queen's exquisite and complicated long dress, stole a glance at the "god" who was in charge of natural disasters, and asked with a little curiosity:

"Your Highness, are you looking west?"

For the elves, as long as they do not feel oppressed by violence, they will ask any questions on the spot.

"Why do you think so?" Gao Xinam asked indifferently without turning back.

"I just learned a legend that our elves originated from the Western Continent." Siatas responded, "Your Highness, does the Western Continent really exist? Is that really the birthplace of the first generation of elves?"

Gao Xinam's mouth curled up slightly, and he said in a slightly ethereal voice:

"The Western Continent may exist, or it may not exist. Every race needs to have a glorious origin, a spiritual homeland.

"Sitas, where is the hometown in your heart?"

“My hometown?” Siatas repeated the question and answered in a daze, “It’s where the king and His Highness are, it’s this palace, and it leads to the forest where my parents live…”

As she said this, Xiatas's mood gradually became depressed, lost, and melancholy.

Obviously, she was affected by the corresponding memories in her subconscious.

She entered the travelogue and had been away from her hometown for two or three thousand years.

"So, for you, the Western Continent does not exist, but for some elves, it is absolutely real." "Queen of Disaster" Gao Xinam calmly gave the final answer.

Siatas did not ask any more questions because she suddenly remembered that the queen was not a first-generation elf.

This conversation made Klein even more confused and puzzled. Fortunately, from the Second Era to the Fifth Era, the Western Continent had no presence at all and would not involve any important secrets related to him. He just wanted to learn about it and did not have high expectations.

After ending the guidance of Siatas's subconscious, since it was almost noon and there were no other dreams nearby to jump to, Audrey, Klein, and Leonard left directly and appeared in Mobet and Siatas' bedroom.

Audrey looked at the Fourth Epoch Viscount who was curled up in a corner of the asymmetrical bed, with his hands and feet being tightly entangled by the elf. Her expression suddenly softened, and she said with a smile:

"They seem to be doing well the way they are now..."

"No, no, no. It's terrible to have such a violent, direct, imaginative and daring wife! Only someone like Mobet would like and enjoy it..." Leonard, who does not have the talent of a poet but has the free tendency of a poet, put his hands in his trouser pockets and shook his head seriously.

At this point, he whispered thoughtfully:

"On the other hand, a senior 'thief' does need a woman like Siatas to manage him. Hmm... I wonder what kind of opposite sex the other people in the old man's family like...

"Hey, they don't need us to envy or oppose them. This is the way they get along with each other. Emperor Roselle once wrote a poem that said, life is precious, but love is more precious..." (Note 1)

Klein listened to the two people's discussion, opened his mouth, and then closed it again. He didn't say that Siatas and Mobet were actually dead. It was not until the moment of death that they truly felt the love for each other. The people alive here were just copies created by the world in the book.

After leaving the couple's home, the three of them headed towards Groselle's blacksmith shop.

On the way, when passing a street, Klein saw Longzel, who was called the "philosopher", and "Justice" Audrey also recognized him as a Loenese at a glance.

"Is that the soldier from more than a hundred years ago?" Audrey slowed down and asked.

Klein thought of Longzel's longing for his hometown and his ashes that he had placed in the Backlund Cemetery. He was silent for two seconds, then nodded gently and said:

"Yes."

Mr. World was somewhat sentimental... He was like a river that was calm on the surface, but had many turbulence and whirlpools underneath... Audrey nodded slightly and said:

"Can I enter his dream? I want to get the potion formulas of 'Judge' and 'Punishment Knight'."

"No problem." Klein answered and glanced at Leonard.

Leonard still had his hands in his pockets, but his eyes suddenly became dark.

Longzel, who was sitting on the sidewalk chair, fell into a deep sleep.

Then, three people appeared in his dream.

This is a prosperous city with many wooden houses, and most of the people coming and going are from Loen.

Longzel, a man with black hair and blue eyes, stood outside a house, looking at it without daring to get too close, until a woman in an old long dress came out. He then excitedly walked up to her, opened his arms and tried to hug her.

His hug passed through the woman without the two of them ever touching each other.

Longzel stood still and yelled woodenly:

"Mother……"

Audrey, who wanted to directly guide the dream, watched the scene quietly, then looked around and found the iconic clock.

“Backlund…” Audrey pursed her lips, tilted her head, and looked at Klein with restrained eyes, “Can’t they leave the world in the book?”

"Too much time has passed. If they leave, they will simply age, die, or even decay." Klein's tone was like a quietly flowing river. "I have sent one of Longzel's items back to Backlund."

This... As a "spectator", Audrey was keenly aware of the cruel reality hidden behind these words. She couldn't help but raise her head and look outside the dream, looking towards where Mobet and Siatas were.

Leonard wanted to ask what the object was, but after looking around, he remained silent.

Next, Audrey carefully guided the dream and, in addition to obtaining two potion formulas, allowed Longzel to return home and live happily with his parents, brothers, and sisters.

It was a beautiful dream.

After leaving Longzel's location, Klein, Leonard, and Audrey soon saw Groselle's house.

This is the last stop of their exploration. After obtaining the information from the giant Groselle's subconscious, they will enter the collective subconscious ocean of the world in this book and search for the secret of the existence of this book.
