Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 432
[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 432]
Charles remained silent.
“Are you hungry for a challenge?” Caedaris said. “I know what’s going on out there. You’ve seen a duel where the winner takes everything and the loser loses everything. Now I’m going to challenge you too, Charles Grani. , you may be the strongest among human beings, if you think my clan is cowardly and can be bullied, I will show you the martial arts of elves!”
“I won’t fight you,” Charles said.
Killing him would only intensify the conflict, and his death would inspire every elf to resolutely fight against humans.
Look at their eyes.
Charr observes the elves outside of Cadarius, they are all a little shaken and tend to resent and resent, because the elves share common emotions and thoughts, and the extreme emotions of Caedaris can easily infect many of them , so that one by one they also became restless and impatient.
only……
They were more or less hesitant and lingering, the anger was only a moment, and most of the elves were still swaying.
There is hope, too, that this meeting can’t be allowed to finally make the elves even more determined to hate humans.
Rui Fanduo’s elves have given up their plans to retreat, and just want to gain a larger living space in the future. What about other elves?
Seeing Ciel pondering, Liratrile spoke up.
“My concubine has a solution. I hope His Royal Highness Grani can make the decision. We are willing to divide Luoman.”
“you mean……”
“From the Redwood Mountain and the Matilda Maiden River as the dividing line, the south belongs to the Elf, and the north belongs to His Royal Highness Citania. In this way, Your Highness and our strength will be united to defeat the one who once executed His Highness. The evil party, cooperate to wipe out the Leopolds, wipe out the enemies of His Highness, expel the unpainted objects, and restore half of our land.”
“I’m not going to be the sinner of history,” Charles said.
“Your Highness Grani,” said Liratriel, “I am deeply saddened by the fact that in the end you have not been able to get out of the barriers between these groups, have you? We ask for nothing, as long as the land we once lived in, let The trees and grasses are regrown there, that’s all, and in exchange for the support of our clan, the power of our clan will reverse the erosion and festering on the land, and return everything to peace and tranquility. This is what is right for both of us. It’s a good result. My family lives in silence in the deep mountains and jungles, allowing humans to develop vast land… Compared with such miserable torture, even the horror of foreign objects is nothing.”
“I think I’ll have to keep going south,” said Charles. “I have nothing to say here.”
Charles turned around.
“Hey—wait a minute,” said a female elf.
Ciel looked up to see an archer standing up, looking lively and adorned with ornaments woven from leaves.
“Silvaraya?” Caedaris frowned, “What do you want to say to this human?”
“I speak on behalf of the wood elves,” Sivaraya said. “It makes a difference. You’ve said everything, what shall we say?”
“Oh?” Ciel thought, “What does Ms. Sivaraya want to know?”
“We live in the wandering forest, maybe you’ve heard of it.”
“Is that a forest that can walk?” Ciel thought for a while, and it seemed that all of them were large forests composed of ancient tree spirits. They moved with the seasons and the distribution of water plants. Sometimes they entered Nanluoman, and they would destroy and encounter them along the way. All the villages and castles in the monastery have caused a great impact, and people have absolutely nothing to do with this forest of giant trees.
“And we can’t decide the direction of the forest,” Sivaraya scratched his head. “The tree grandpas have their own strategies, and they will soon enter South Romania again as they are used to.”
“But that’s impossible,” Ciel realized the problem. “Nan Loman is now dominated by the shadow of Romana, and Leopold’s group.”
“Yes, we usually let the tree grandpas walk, because humans can’t do anything to them, nor do you burn them, nor do you dig trenches to prevent trees in advance, nor do you sprinkle poison. The tree grandpas are very tough… Same, they must have evil spells that can destroy big trees… If this goes on, our home will be abandoned, which is too scary for us. If you will cover the tree grandpas into the south, we will be with you Let’s cooperate,” Sivaraya said.
“How can you make peace with humans alone, this is a shameful betrayal.” Kaedaris was surprised.
“But… Rifah Rahir, you can’t help us eliminate the foreign objects,” Sivaraya said in frustration, “I also want to cooperate with you, but our home is too important, this is the last piece The Elder Forest is over, we must not give up.”
There are also differences among the elves. The wood elves are the first pieces to be pryed. If they can be broken one after another… Ciel turned to the pale-skinned and indifferent elves, who gathered in the corner of the high platform, looking tired.
“What about the night elves?” Ciel asked. “Do you want to be as immortal towards humans as the elves in the Kingdom of Revandor?”
“It’s impossible to convince them,” Caedaris said, “because they are my countrymen.”
“How do you say that?” Charles pondered.
“His Highness Grani, Caedaris is the best warrior among us,” a male night elf said, resting his chin in his hands in a sullen posture, “he led many of our clan to cooperate with Liratrill, those who Elves are the most heroic and adept at fighting, and can even overcome nature. And the rest of us, dull, slow and nocturnal, our opinions are useless, whether we are for you or against you…”
“This is a fragile world that requires everyone and every elf to try and do their part to protect it,” Ciel said.
This remark made the night elves feel very different.
“…strange thing, you speak like an elf… um… how do you say it? I can’t recall those compatriots who would like to join Caedaris, many of whom are my elders,” the night elf said. , “But I will try to keep other people away from evil, whether it’s the war between elves and humans, or the war between elves and outside paintings. This era seems to be painted more with your colors, maybe we should…”
“Stop,” Princess Liratrile stood up, “I feel that we need time to reconcile our opinions. Your Highness Granny, please take a break for a while, okay?”
“Yeah.” Ciel nodded, giving full respect to avoid worsening the slightly better situation, “This is your meeting.”
Charles walked out of the hall.
The elves stood up and began to communicate with each other, making the final decision.
Chapter 532 Location
“Why?” Kedarius asked, “why do we have to compromise with humans, we have backed down before, they feed on our weakness, step on our dignity, and develop their own civilization. Siva Raya, do you really understand what you are doing?”
“I don’t know,” Sivaraya said, “but I don’t want to disappoint this human.”
“Disappointed… Am I not disappointed in you?”
“I mean,” Sivaraya struggled to convey his thoughts, “…he’s serious…he made me realize that being serious on the surface pays off! He made me think It’s also a joy to go on, because everything is worth looking forward to. He’s determined and strong, and at the same time calm, courteous, and confident, and can beat outsiders, and has a reassuring power that few humans have gives me that impression.”
“Spit.” Caedaris snorted coldly.
“Indeed,” said the night elf in his crouching position.
“Erigund…” Caedaris turned to look at him, “…you were once the pioneer who most resolutely protected the interests of our homeland. I admire your bravery and legend. However, over the centuries, your strength and Decreasing day by day, now you are only left with bones and bones, and your noble mind is now as weak and corrupt as human beings, what the hell happened to you?”
“Because of the situation,” said Erigund, “did you not see the weapon he carried? The red blade on his back, when it was born, the wave of power burst out from the distant dwarven rift, The passing of the whole world interrupted my contemplation. I was always paying attention at that time, what kind of weapon appeared in the world, and now I see it, the strength has only increased and not decreased. I can only be happy now, I am extremely grateful for Yeyue’s arrangement, such a tyrannical and murderous weapon is now in the hands of such a solemn and calm human being. If he has a trace of anger and impulsiveness, all the elves in our presence will have their hands and feet cut off and stuck in the ground. I Do everything possible to avoid such a tragedy and leave room for things to turn around.”
“Fear confounds your judgment, Erigund.” Caedaris said, he looked out the window, the bird crouching on the windowsill fluttered away, and told the elf warriors stationed around the Emerald Palace, order They rushed to this place, “I called all the remaining soldiers, we will do our best to suppress him.”
“You will bring destruction.” Irigonde looked frustrated.
“You mean, then, that all of us elves will bow before him, join his plans, and become his servants?” said Caedaris, “and my pride will never allow us to do that, and neither do I. Will not watch you become like that.” He turned to Princess Liratriel, “…We also have our artifact, the ancient creation of Sadukin, which will destroy Grani, and with this resolute attitude, we Will rise from here, return to the order of the earth, and claim our place in this world.”
Liratrile pursed her lips tightly, thinking of Sadukin’s great power, she wasn’t sure whether she should use her mother’s inheritance.
“Five centuries ago,” Caedaris said, “the land of Romania was covered with vast forests, two suns hung in the sky, and humans were just monkey-shaped creatures who perched on beaches and made homes out of sand. Since the day of the Sunbreak, our territory has been diminished, our compatriots have lived under the siege of human beings all the time, our homes have been filled with filth, our estates have been seized, holy places have been trampled, and every secret has been lost. Every treasure has been plundered. Why on earth, why do you still have fantasies about human beings? Between our two races, one must completely exterminate the other, and then the remaining party can live without any worries. In this world! To survive through negotiation and concessions, we can only get destruction and humiliation in the end. To survive through war, we can finally regain the honor we lost!”
“Ah…” An elder elf sitting on a high place sighed with emotion that he was about to die, so his body was wrinkled, his eyes were cloudy, his nose collapsed, and his body fluids swayed under the translucent skin, “… It is so sad… We have lost our homeland, heritage, wisdom and youthful guidance, we have lost our honor, status, freedom and happiness, we are deeply divided, but there is no lofty idea worthy of all elves to follow, let alone one like A wise and wise leader like Queen Rivendor.”
Liratrile felt a pang of remorse.
Elves have always preferred to live in isolation, and they are scattered into various branches, but Queen Revando is very good at mediating conflicts between various ethnic groups, and can also bring guidance to the elves, and gain the love of the elves of Romania, night elves, wood elves And the sacrificial sun elves respect the opinion of the kingdom of Revandor.
As the Queen’s youngest daughter, Liratriel knew she should end all this bickering.
“Listen to my concubine’s opinion.” Liratrile stood up, “According to my concubine’s opinion, now we can neither fight against the intrusion of off-screen objects, nor subdue Charles Grani by force, and be terrorized by the outside world. The coercion of human beings and beasts is even more rare in the interior. Although it is at a low ebb in history, it can also recharge and wait for the rise in the future. We have hit the southerners under the leadership of General Kedaris, and they have known Our courage, but futile strife is not our tradition, and it is time to show the virtue and peace of the elves.”
She got up from her seat, left the platform, and walked down.
Liratrile turned to look at her compatriots still on the high platform.
“Go with your concubine and meet him,” she said.
Kaedaris’s face sinks like water.
the other side.
Ciel had already walked out of the palace gate, and went down the steps to find Eliliano.
She stretched out her hand and led Charles to the stone bench at the edge of the garden, where they both sat down.
“How did you talk to them?” Eliliano asked.
“Not very pleasant,” Ciel said. “They’re… paranoid, at odds, wandering in a daze, and always deeply sad. They’re not suitable for this, they’re… not good at it.”
“Why do you think this is?”
“Because the sociality is relatively low?” Charles murmured, “the individual human being is very weak, so we must unite to form a society that cooperates with each other and divides labor among each other, and has many things, morality, law, army, Keep functioning together. But the elf society is very different, because each elf can survive alone, so there is no need for a society… This will weaken the unity and overall strength of the elf, and the strength of the individual is limited after all, but… The ‘summary of individuals’ will be very strong. Even gods are like this. Even gods do not like to fight alone. They will form a god system and a kingdom of gods. I am not optimistic about the future of elves… It is too scattered, too lonely, and there is no unity. system…”
“Now the environment has changed, it’s a world dominated by humans, judged by human values, of course.” Eliliano stroked Ciel’s hair, “But in the past, when the sun was scorching hot, how comfortable were our elves living? , when we are hungry, we stick our legs in the soil to absorb nutrients. When we are thirsty, we drink rainwater and lake water. When we are tired, we can restore our spirits by basking in the sun with our emerald skin. Humans are very weak and are burned by the sun , tormented by the plague, submerged by the flood, a dozen human beings gathered, and they couldn’t beat a single dragon, but the elves were able to cooperate in twos and threes to defeat them with bows and arrows… At that time, it was not what you said at that time… … Hirandu the Sunbreaker transformed this world into a world suitable for humans, is it the fault of the elves?”
“Yeah…” Ciel sighed, “So the elves have to change.”
“What did it change?” Eliliano said blankly, “To adapt, we know, to become good at dancing, plan carefully, develop technology, cut down forests, build cities, be your own army, country, temple, prison, personally Going to farm fields, becoming good at intrigue and scheming, spending long life preparing intrigue, researching and educating instead of spending precious time chasing love and self-knowledge. Then why should we call ourselves Where are the elves? Are we still elves? We simply changed our names to ‘Higher Humans’ and ‘Longevity Humans’…”
“It becomes miserable to live in an environment that is completely unsuitable for one’s existence,” Shire said.
“Humans are also suffering, but we don’t know how to sympathize with you.”
Ciel heard footsteps, and kept listening to the movements approaching from the outside, as if a large group of elf warriors were dispatching, what did they want to do?
“…Elves are also tough,” Ciel said.
“We regard human beings as friends, to contact and greet, but what we can get is spears and nets, so we arm ourselves with vigilance, and one country after another takes up arms. Our minds, which were originally suitable for the development of art, are now Used to manipulate human beings, used to fight. My body has also undergone great changes.” Eliliano looked at a young elf in the garden jungle.
Ciel followed her gaze and saw a very young elf child.
He stood at the far end, shrivelled, with green skin and vine-like hair, short, sexless, with a flat chest and nothing between his legs.
“That’s…” Charles observed him.
The young elves are very dull, and they don’t know Ciel. They don’t think of Ciel as a human being, and they look ignorant.
“A new-born elf a month ago, an ancient tree of life from the Forest of Colorful Nights,” Eliliano said, “Our sexuality developed gradually after humanization. He reminded me of my past, or in other words, The past of each of us elves, quietly and silently watching this world, born pure, but gradually alienated by this world, the more thoughts we have about this world, the more we are stabbed by its truth, and the more loyal we are. Ideal, the easier it is to be humiliated by utilitarian humans, thinking about doing something to make the world better, but discovering that the world doesn’t need me at all. It would be good to have humans in this world, why do you need elves? What about the races like us… who can’t keep up with the changing times?”
Charles heard footsteps.
He turned his head and saw that Princess Liratriel led a group of elves out of the hall quickly and came to find him in the garden.
Before Shire rose, Princess Liratriel bowed to greet him.
“His Royal Highness Grani,” she said, “the concubine gradually understands your position, and we are willing to cooperate with you.”
“I understand,” Ciel responded immediately, “Help me defeat the invaders, and the elves will definitely find their proper place in this world. This is… the result that Varanelle wants to see.”
Chapter 533
Cooperation with humans is generally unconventional, but the elves of Romania were originally deviant.
The luminous elves call themselves Refa Lahir, and are willing to serve the blood of Queen Revando to death; the wood elves live on a group of walking dryads; the night elves have evolved the habit of nocturnal and nocturnal, just because they like to watch at night The beauty of the Caiye Forest; the sacrificial sun elves directly gave up the worship of the blue god and worshipped the sun instead… Each branch was distinguished from the elves other than Loman.
Dealing with long-lived races is actually not pleasant, because they are all much older than Ciel, and even if Ciel offers some good insights, they instinctively question it, preferring to believe in the insights they have developed over hundreds of years.
And they are very nervous, lest Ciel hide evil intentions and set a trap in the treaty.
Fortunately, after a period of tedious negotiations, the ice between the two sides gradually melted.
The elves decided to stop military operations against humans, and selected personnel to support the charr in future crusades against demons.
After the end of the annihilation crisis, the elves will continue to cooperate more with Sitania. Some elves may serve as consultants to provide help and guidance to the Kingdom of Sitania. The two sides will also open their borders one after another, organize trade, and the humans that the elves have captured. Captives and slaves are also released in one unit.
What impact will long-lived races have in human society?
If they are in high positions, they will have a monopoly for two or three hundred years, which will bring negative effects.
However, the more human beings, the shorter the elves’ lifespans, which constitutes a balance.
Away from the hustle and bustle and living alone, the elves can truly live a long life.
Ciel heard that there is an elves that are completely isolated from human society, and now they have become an immortal ancient tree, almost integrated with green, and have no lifespan. As long as they are not disturbed and cut down, they can last forever until the end of the world.
