Chapter 1810: Mian Wang Yiyun, Master Sword Song
On the other hand, those who rise to the throne will naturally fall. Once a high-ranking family declines, there is basically only one ending, and that is to be divided up and start all over again.
Maybe he can return to his peak in a few thousand years!
But it is a pity that it is easy to decline but difficult to rise. Most of the upper-class families in Yeerlan today survived the Crown War. Later, they could not find the opportunity to develop or even rise in Sharwen, so they took the risk of establishing an independent country.
But such opportunities are very rare. If Sluvend hadn't been so powerful at the beginning, and Salvin needed a barrier that could block Slvend's invasion in the northwest, Yerlan would not have been able to build it at all.
The development and growth of Ye Erlan's upper-class family is actually accompanied by the development and growth of Ye Erlan. As a younger generation, it is difficult for Hildalanna to understand how dangerous and how much effort was involved.
She only knows one thing: Elf social classes are very solidified, and the only way for the lower class to rise to the top is to allow turmoil to break down the classes.
This is also the real reason why she is obviously very dissatisfied with King Mian's reforms, but still stands with King Mian on key issues.
She knew that order was the most important thing. The reform of Prince Mian could not bring down the upper family, but the chaos could. As long as there is no unrest, no matter how much reform is done in Yeerlan, it will just be a different game of chess and the players will remain the same.
Just the fact that Mian Wang was suspected of being a member of the mysterious organization still cast a thick shadow on Hildalanna's heart. She was already sure that the assassination of Elder Everesca was the work of the mysterious organization.
From this incident alone, it can be seen that the mysterious organization does not seem to be satisfied with the current order, and is trying to destroy the current order through violence and establish a new order that is more in line with their interests.
But what role did King Helion play in it?
Hildalanna couldn't figure it out. In theory, there wouldn't be much difference between her and Prince Mian's attitudes towards Ye Erlan. Her first reaction when she learned the identity of the assassin was that the mysterious organization could not stay.
She believed that Prince Mian knew as much about this as she did, but Prince Mian was still ambiguous with the mysterious organization. This was not the mentality of a normal ruler.
At least not the mentality of a normal elf ruler.
As a ruler, you can do whatever you want in private, but on the surface, all attitudes must be clear. If it is unclear, it will inevitably lead to misjudgments below and even in other countries.
King Helion should not be unaware of this, unless——
Is there any reason to do this?
Under duress? Or being controlled? Or were you tempted by some kind of benefit that you couldn't refuse?
…
While lamenting the difficult situation, Hildalana introduced Sha Duo and Puman to the Lyle Chamber of Commerce's supply base in the Ansai Mountains, which was the secret base of the mysterious organization.
Soon, after passing through a secret portal arranged in advance by Hildalanna, Shado and his party arrived near the Ansai Mountains.
This is also a supply base, but it has been controlled by Hildalanna in advance. Here, Sha Duo met another participant in this operation——
A golden elf warrior wearing armor, with a sword hanging from his waist and sharp eyes.
"This is my friend, Sword Chanting Master Andalusk. He will act with us." Hildaran introduced Sha Duo to the two of them, and also briefly introduced Sha Duo and Puman to each other.
In the elf society, the title of master is not easy to obtain. One must reach the pinnacle of attainment in a certain field.
Master Sword Song, according to Sha Duo's understanding, actually means that Andalusk can at least defeat a senior mage head-on.
Elf mages are often distinguished by "elite" and "senior" levels. A senior mage is equivalent to a senior arcanist among Nese mages, and is at least exposed to the eighth level of the magic network.
Such a sword chanting master can even be said to be very intimidating to high-level mages. After hearing Hildalanna's introduction, Sha Duo suddenly felt a chill on his back.
And Puman was even more exaggerated, and actually distanced himself directly. Sha Duo was not surprised at all. If Andalusk's combat power was as good as he thought, Puman would probably be attacked at close range. The only option is to run away.
As for Xia Duo himself, although he also felt some pressure, that was all. There were limits to the strength and skills of humans (including elves). Even with the blessing of magic items or spells, it would be difficult to break through such limits. .
Even if he may not be able to beat the other party, the other party cannot even think of beating him. Even if it is a head-on battle, there is no doubt about this. Even when he is familiar with some of the opponent's methods, the reversal may come immediately.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo also took out the [Blade of Veto] and hung it on his waist. What he wanted was deterrence.
When he saw that Xia Duo also took out a sword and it was of the ancient elven standard, Andalusk's eyes suddenly lit up. He no longer looked cold and cold at the beginning, and asked with interest:
"Lord Xia Duo also knows the art of sword chanting?"
Sha Duo smiled slightly but did not answer directly, but Hildalanna answered for him:
"Anda, I forgot to tell you before. Lord Shado once defeated Master Fres in the Cloud Crown Palace of Evereska in front of the kings and leaders of the North. Don't underestimate him!"
Master Freese?
When Andalusk heard the name, the look in his eyes that was originally a bit frivolous and proud immediately turned into awe and even vigilance.
Fris is also an Ellan elf, of course he is a moon elf, but in addition to being a "sword master", he is also a senior mage.
When Andalusk faces Freis, the only thing that Andalusk can be proud of is the identity of the golden elves. However, in Yeerlan, although the golden elves have an upper-class status derived from tradition, they are not as strictly distinguished as Cormanthor.
It may be okay to complain in private, but if he dares to do this in front of Fres, a senior mage who is also a master of swordsmanship will definitely tell him to become an elf again.
Shado didn't care about Andalusk's change of attitude. He knew very well the attitude of elves towards humans. Even if they defeated the other party in the field where they were good at, the other party would still make up for it elsewhere.
Such as life span, family history, appearance, manners, clothing, and even whether you walk with your left foot or your right foot first.
If you want to truly change the impression and attitude of elves towards humans, it is not just about the emergence of individual human elites, but rather the overall strength that is not weaker than the opponent's.
…
After a brief interlude, Sha Duo and his party quickly began to take action. There was still quite a distance from the temporary stronghold controlled by Hildalanna to the base of the mysterious organization.
How to get past without being noticed by the other party is the first problem they have to solve.
