Chapter 1855 Mixed Blood Taboo
Evereska, South City.
Shado and Sergis sat on a bench in the neighborhood garden, silently casting spells to survey the latest status of nearby Mystery Nodes, and occasionally exchanging a few words.
But most of the time, everyone goes their own way. The data will not be summarized and briefly analyzed until the end of the survey, and then you can go to the area where the next node is.
"Athos?"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Shado turned back just in time to see Sergis' expression of surprise and a little fear, "Could it be that there is news from Ogus?"
"Yes, how should I put it? There is indeed a problem with that chamber of commerce!"
"What's the problem?" Xia Duo asked quickly.
"The Eye of Fear didn't make it very clear. He asked me to tell you that he wants to ask you to do a favor."
"That's it!"
Xia Duo thought about it and was about to agree, when an expected summons came in, and Ogus also asked him to do a favor, so why should he hesitate?
After talking to Sejis, he quickly teleported to the Cloud Top Tower. He was also curious at this moment whether the golden elf who returned to the chamber of commerce last night was a demon elf.
If so, it would be interesting. This means that the demon elves who appeared in the main plane only after the birth of Cormanthor actually appeared in this projection plane before Evereska became independent.
There is a difference of several thousand years, and it is difficult to explain it with the turning point of history. The only explanation is probably that the demon elves in the main plane also appeared very early, but were deliberately concealed by some beings.
Combined with the current elven society's view of demons in the main plane, this possibility is very high.
Even Xia Duo still has an idea. Could it be that Uvelun's demise is related to the demon?
Otherwise, such a large country will disappear without any explanation, and there will be no more powerful explanation left for future generations. Then it can only involve a greater taboo.
If the drow were caused by the banishment curse of Arivandar and the environmental radiation in the Underdark itself, then tracing back to the origin, they are one with the elves.
Even in the main plane, where the "remnants" of Arivandar are the most fearful and fearful of the drow, and for countries like Irfaran that have also suffered the sins of Arivandar, the drow can completely become to some extent The object of united warfare.
But demons are different. Elves are a race that attaches great importance to tradition and family. From another perspective, the traditional concepts of family and ethnicity no longer tolerate mixed blood.
If mixing blood was easy, then the elves would no longer be divided into gold elves and moon elves for a long time, but would be unified into mixed elves, or they could be called "high elves" or "upper elves" with some fancy names.
The reality is that mixing blood from different ethnic groups within the elven race is not acceptable, let alone mixing with races other than elves.
In the history of the main plane, during the honeymoon period of the relationship between Netheril and Erlan, many half-elf, half-human hybrids were born, but almost without exception these hybrids were not recognized by the elven society.
The few who can be brought to Ellan are also because their appearance is not much different from that of elves, but even so, these mixed-bloods are not as valued as pure-blood elves.
This was the case with the Yerevan master Shado had met in Severdon before, who was interested in ascending to the gods. His appearance was almost the same as that of the Moon Elf. He was also taken to Yeerlan, but later he did not return to Netheril. .
If Erlan could really treat him as an equal, why would he come back?
Mixing blood with humans is so rough, but what about mixing blood with demons who are disgusted, fearful, and hated by elves?
Xia Duo put himself into the perspective of the elves. He felt that if they were not completely eliminated, he might not even be able to eat and sleep peacefully.
Of course, this is the mainstream concept in elf society, but since demon elves do exist, it means that there must be some elves who can accept these, and even more perverted ones.
…
Entering the Silver Star layer mentioned in Ogus's transmission, Shado gradually retracted his divergent thoughts and looked towards the room where Ogus and the Eye of Terror were currently located.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Xia Duo saw a golden elf businessman walking out backwards. While returning the money, he said, "I will investigate thoroughly when I go back and give an explanation to the Council of Elders of Everriska."
Xia Duo did not hide his whereabouts when he came. After the golden elf businessman exited the door, he found him, but the other party did not try to talk to him, but immediately lowered his head and turned around, and then left quickly.
Xia Duo wasn't angry because the other person didn't talk to him. He was just curious about the other person's identity. From what he just said, he seemed to be a subordinate of Ogus or the Eye of Terror, but it didn't look like he was dressed like that.
But if it was the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce that he mentioned to Sergis before, something was wrong. Could it be that Ogus didn't find the demon elf?
With all kinds of questions, Xia Duo walked into the room. When he saw that the furnishings inside looked like a reception room, he became even more curious.
Just now, Sergis clearly mentioned that there was a problem with that chamber of commerce. Shado thought Ogus was asking him to help identify the black-robed golden elf who killed Tire last night!
Then at least go to a place similar to a prison!
But now——
"Athos, you're here!"
When Ogus saw Xia Duo, he stood up to welcome him warmly. In the corner of the room, a figure gradually emerged from the space. It was a golden elf with a popular face.
He nodded to Xia Duo and disappeared into the corner.
But this time, after completely witnessing the other party's disappearance, Xia Duo had a vague feeling in his heart, and seemed to be able to vaguely perceive the specific location of the other party.
Of course, this may also be the sense of security that the other party deliberately left for him.
Shado knew that this guy was the Eye of Terror, one of the members of the Council of Elders of Everriska, who was mainly responsible for intelligence.
He had met the other party during the covenant ceremony before and had a few words with him afterwards, but there was no deep friendship.
"Ogus, why are you asking me for help? At least half of the nodes in the old mystery lock are still unexplored!" Sha Duo asked.
"Is such that--"
Ogus was about to explain, but he seemed to suddenly think of something and looked towards the corner of the room, "Eye of Terror, please explain!"
"Ahem - actually you can call me Maier." The Eye of Fear said in a voice as ordinary as his appearance, and at the same time revealed his figure again.
Maier is the first two syllables of the Elvish word "Eye of Terror". If the relationship between elves is close enough, they will often only call each other the first two syllables of the name.
For example, Hildalana, if Shado has a close enough relationship with her, you can call her "Hil".
Obviously, Maier is not the real name of the Eye of Terror, but calling it that way seems more intimate. And the reason why he said this in front of Shado, it is difficult to say that there is no hint from Ogus.
