Chapter 265: The Orderly Inheritance of the Silver Moon Court
When we talk about elves, we usually refer to the high elves of Silvermoon Highgarden and some scattered wood elves. The drow elves are essentially a branch of the elves, but they are mortal enemies of other elves.
The rite of passage for female drow is usually to come to the surface, kidnap an elf and return to the Underdark to perform a blood sacrifice to the Spider Queen Lolth.
Generally speaking, drow elves who can offer elves as sacrifices will receive the blessing of the Spider Queen Lolth.
But later, the elves became more and more difficult to capture, so the drow changed to sacrificing their own people. Male drow were often offered as sacrifices to the Rose Spider Queen, but this was naturally difficult to gain the approval of the gods, and it could only be said that it was a reluctant way for the Rose Spider Queen not to punish them.
Over the years, the drow have slaughtered countless elves, and the blood feud between the two is so deep that it cannot be resolved.
But what’s interesting is that the Spider Queen Rose is actually also a member of the elven gods, and her status is extremely noble.
The ex-husband of the Spider Queen Rose is none other than the Elf God-King Corellon Larethian.
Corellon Larethian is known as the most perfect elf. Any mortal who can see his true face will fall in love with him irresistibly. His beauty is not limited to men or women, and his charm is countless times more exaggerated than that of Catherine.
He is also a powerful warrior, a powerful magician, as well as a philosopher, artist, musician... In short, many virtues and talents of the elves basically come from this Elf God King.
There is also an unconfirmed claim that Corellon Larethian may be the most powerful god under Io. Of course, mages have different opinions, and they believe that the goddess of magic is the invincible god under Io.
But whether this statement is right or not, it can indirectly illustrate the power of this elven king. In addition, the number of elven gods is huge, and Corellon Laresian can be said to be the one with the highest power and strength among the gods.
So when Amber read in the book that the Spider Queen Rose's ex-husband was the Elf God King, he was very confused.
How can she divorce a husband like this? How high are the requirements of the Rose Spider Queen?
Later it was discovered that the Spider Queen Rose turned against her husband in order to seize the power of the Elf God-King.
The title of wife of the Elf God-King obviously could not satisfy Rose's desire. She wanted more, so she gathered many evil gods and launched a rebellion.
This war between gods was full of twists and turns, but ultimately ended with the defeat of the Spider Queen Rose.
Rose was punished and turned into a half-human, half-spider by the Elf King. The drow, who were once part of the elves, also fell and became the underground elves of today. Evil, cruelty and female superiority are their racial culture.
Because of the Spider Queen Lolth's hatred for the Elf God-King, the drow elves and the surface elves became mortal enemies.
Trisna is a drow elf of legendary rank. She must have sacrificed many elves to gain the favor of the Spider Queen Rose, who granted her powerful strength and allowed her to receive the blessings of the four goddesses.
That Trisna must have a lot of blood debts. If she is sent to Silvermoon High Court, she might be able to get a lot of reward.
If we can't create undead, we have to recycle the waste. We can't lose everything.
Amber wrote a letter to Catherine and mailed it from the post station in Ganlu City.
Artifacts like the Code of the Dead that allow for free communication regardless of distance are rare. Even the elves may not have such ultra-long-distance communication equipment, and this kind of cross-border communication can usually only be done by mail.
Fortunately, there is something like a teleportation array, and it should be delivered within a day.
The only problem is that the price for this expedited service is a bit high. It cost Amber more than a thousand gold coins just to send the letter.
It wouldn't take long to get to Silvermoon High Court, but the elven kingdom had long since closed itself off from the outside world, so all letters needed to be strictly inspected before they could be delivered into the country.
This delay meant that several days had passed before Catherine received Amber's letter.
Catherine was quite happy at first, because the lich finally remembered her after such a long time. But when she opened the letter, she found that Amber was really straightforward, without any polite words.
He killed the drow matriarch, and asked Silvermoon High Court if they were interested in settling the drow's blood debt, and then mentioned the issue of the bounty in a very vague way.
Finally, he brought up the matter of Arthur Lane and asked when the Elf King could come over to "verify his identity."
After reading the letter, there was not even a word of greeting.
Catherine was almost mad. This lich really didn't worry about her at all.
But Catherine was only angry for a short while, after all, what Amber talked about were all big things.
The drow elves are an unforgettable stain on the elves and the biggest source of pain for them. A legendary drow elf must be a sinner on the kill list of Silvermoon High Court.
Amberxiu really helped a lot this time. Even the Silvermoon High Court owes him a favor.
Therefore, Catherine hurriedly took the letter to find the Elf King... Strictly speaking, it should be the former Elf King.
After the last batch of magic-addicted elves were sealed in Silvermoon High Court, Catherine declared her crimes to the elves, which was considered as her final explanation for resigning as the Elf Queen.
It was her stupidity and arrogance that caused the elves to face the crisis of extinction, and it was because of her that the elves suffered heavy losses.
So Catherine resigned and accepted the collective trial of all the elves.
The trial result came out soon, and the elves decided to forgive her.
It’s really not the elves’ fault for being soft-hearted. Who can punish Catherine by looking at her face?
Moreover, she admitted that she was wrong.
Therefore, the former Elf King Hildas Terra had to make a judgment in his own name, depriving Catherine of all her honor and treatment because of her mistake. In simple terms, she would be demoted to a commoner.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This is already the heaviest punishment. If it were any heavier, he was afraid that many elves would rebel.
Many elves felt that the punishment was too severe. After all, Catherine had good intentions. She shared her power selflessly for the sake of the elves' strength. Who knew that such sharing would bring side effects? The new Elf King Aldarian Terra was one of them. He even prepared to lift the punishment for Catherine after taking office.
Then the new Elf King was severely beaten by his grandfather, who was Hildas Terra. The new Elf King was his grandson.
The throne is not inherited by bloodline for the elves, and is usually chosen from among the legends within the kingdom, with all elves voting together to choose the next king.
When Catherine ran for election, she was naturally passed unanimously, and even her competitors chose to campaign for her.
Aldarian Terra was the competitor at that time. After knowing that Catherine was going to run for the Elf King, he started a lecture tour without hesitation, with the theme of "Why Catherine is the next Elf Queen".
It can be said that in the entire Silvermoon High Court, the new Elf King is Catherine's most fanatical fan.
This time, Catherine resigned, and Ardarian immediately chose to participate in the election. He tried every means to take over the throne from Catherine. In the end, Ardarian won with a very clear advantage.
This is not only because Aldarian's grandfather was once the Elf King and made enormous contributions to Silvermoon High Garden, but also because Aldarian himself is very capable.
He was promoted to legend at a young age. During Catherine's reign, Aldarian was Catherine's right-hand man, a role similar to the Hand of the King. He also handled the government affairs within the kingdom very well. He even significantly increased the birth rate of the elves, who usually did not like to have children. This political achievement alone is enough for him to go down in history.
Ardarian's succession to the throne was the popular choice. Even though his grandfather voted against it, he had to accept this fact in the end.
Who would have thought that Aldarian would overturn his decision as soon as he ascended the throne, so the gray-haired old elf simply threw away his political status, took his grandson home and beat him up.
Poor Aldarian, he was also a legendary ranger, but he didn't even dare to hide and could only be beaten black and blue.
In the end, the old elf used his seniority to suppress this ridiculous order, but it still couldn't stop Aldarian from giving Catherine all kinds of gifts, wishing to give her the treatment she originally had as queen.
Fortunately, Catherine knew she was wrong, so she never accepted these gifts and lived in seclusion in a remote hut outside the royal city like an ordinary elf. Of course, Catherine could not really live in the civilian area, otherwise the whole area would fall into chaos.
Therefore, it was very easy for Catherine to enter the royal city.
After a brief notification, Catherine arrived at the royal city and met the new Elf King.
Aldarian looked like a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a typical elven appearance, handsome and elegant.
There were two gray-haired old men beside Aldarian, one of whom was naturally Aldarian's grandfather, the former Elf King, and the other was an old man wearing a platinum robe.
The rose and scale patterns on the robe told Catherine that this person should be James Watson, the Supreme Judge of the Ryan Empire.
