Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety-Ninth Records of Later Generations
When the envoys settled in the Ice Palace Court and agreed to cooperate, the two sides began to frequently exchange information about each other.
Before arriving in the Northern Continent, the envoy brought the empire's natural climate change records for nearly 20 years. The data on monsoons, rainfall, and temperature changes are very detailed, which is also due to the excellent tradition of the Green Empire.
An empire that spans nearly half of the continent is particularly concerned about climate change and adjustment. Although there is no special agency to adjust feng shui and climate like the Plantagenet Dynasty, it is still possible to do a good job of observation and preparation.
And when the ice elves saw the thick stack of books and pages, they could be said to be amazed, and even a little unbelievable. Because they themselves seldom keep records of this.
Unlike other places in the Northern Continent, because of the cold, the climate has always been exceptionally stable without much change, so they usually don't care, until some changes have occurred in recent years.
At first, it was three warm years after the heaven and earth changed, and a lot of glaciers melted.
During this period of time, the ice elves were actually very happy, because it brought a lot of flowing water, which could facilitate the construction of cities. In addition, because of the warmer temperature, it also brought a lot of land that could be cultivated.
But the good times did not last long. In the next few years, the temperature dropped again, not only returning to the previous appearance, but even getting colder every year than in the past, and some towns had to start shrinking.
Of course, the rate of this cooling was not fast at first, although the ice elves noticed it, but they were not too worried, because the degree of change was still within an acceptable range.
In the past two thousand years in the Northern Continent, such a situation has occurred several times.
Unexpectedly, however, the situation began to take a turn for the worse since then. Not only did the temperature gradually become colder, but even the fish in the sea also dwindled a lot, and food began to be insufficient.
For this reason, the ice elves became anxious, and only then did they send ships and teams to the sea to investigate the cause. It was suspected that a special powerful beast had appeared that devoured the sea fish near the North Sea.
In this way, they began to fight with monsters on the way to the sea, and contacted the Plantagenet Dynasty in the east a few years ago, and even started some cooperation, strangling sea beasts and opening up trade routes.
With the trade support of the Eastern Dynasty, the food supply of the ice elves quickly improved, because their number was not large, and they could produce a lot by themselves.
As a result, the importance of the cold disaster has gradually decreased. In addition, after a long search with no results, many people no longer pay attention to this matter, and plan to survive the hard days like this.
Until now, the envoys of the forest elves have brought news from the Western Continent. The cold disaster is still spreading. Not only has everything not improved, but it is still deteriorating step by step.
"If that's the case, the situation is in danger." An experienced old nobleman frowned while looking at the information in his hand.
"Thank you very much for the timely news brought by the compatriots from afar. We will also quickly count the personnel and participate in this investigation."
The speaker was a prestigious ice elf count. He was wearing a silver dress and was very clean.
"I think so too."
Most of the ice elves have received a good education, and it is easy to see the hidden news behind these reports, so this crisis is no longer something that can be sustained by simply relying on strong support.
Maybe the Eastern Continent will also be affected in the future, and at that time it will be difficult for them to import food again, and many problems will be exposed.
If we don’t fundamentally solve this disaster, it doesn’t mean that it will take a few years or decades, but to endure the frost for hundreds or even thousands of years. At that time, the whole world will fall into a state of lack of resources. , all kinds of conflicts no longer have room for buffering, and as a weaker ice elf, it may not be able to support it.
"Then trouble everyone, I think, we must first collect the climate change situation of the entire Northern Continent."
Finally entered the stage of dealing with practical matters. At this time, Athey regained her self-confidence. She familiarly arranged and directed, and described the plan to be implemented next.
As the famous twin princesses in the forest, she is not just a vase with extraordinary strength.
The two elves in the hall also slowly entered the state, and various affairs and policies began to be arranged one by one.
On the top of the tower at the top of the palace, Loren Hill sat on the bell tower and listened quietly to what was happening below, nodding occasionally.
That's awesome, Athey, so let's get on the right track.
After the consultation meeting between the two parties ended today, Roland Hill slowly opened his eyes, stood up and stretched.
"Is Loren going to rest at my place?" In the clock tower, Teva sat opposite Loren Hill, looking at Loren Hill who was stretched.
"Where, does Tehua also have a residence in the Court of Ice Palace?" Lorraine asked curiously.
"Well, yes, when I created it jointly with the ice elves in the past, they built it for me." After speaking, Tehua also stood up slightly and pointed to a courtyard west of the Ice Palace Courtyard.
The courtyard was surrounded by mulberry trees with purple leaves. It was very quiet, but it was in line with Tehua's usual style.
"Then let's go." Roland Hill is not picky, and now living with Tehua will indeed be a lot more free and comfortable.
"Okay." Although Teva's answer was brief, Roland Hill still felt a touch of happiness from it.
Maybe she is lonely too, the girl thought. After all, he has spent such a long time alone, and in the inaccessible underground garden, it is estimated that few people speak.
Subsequently, Lorraine Hill
Leap down the tower with Tehua, and fly to the quiet courtyard under the starry sky of the extreme night.
In the following month, the Court of Ice Palace issued a summoning order to the major cities for the high-level extraordinary people in the ice elves to gather for it, and began to describe the current situation and the action plan to detect the disaster. After that, they began to detach these elite superhumans with certain auxiliary personnel, and then went to various locations in the northern continent to start collecting data and exploring local conditions. Lorraine Hill, together with Tehua, was preparing to go deep into the North Sea and explore the changing scene of the seabed.
Everyone started to get busy.
When the entire ice elves started to act gradually, an exquisite puppet also came to the quiet library of the Ice Palace Courtyard.
Because of the transfer of many high-level superhumans, today's administrators and guards are not aware of this additional existence entering the library.
Ishigelin floated and swam in the sea of bookshelves, searching for those ancient records, and from time to time she took out a thick book and flipped through the things described in it.
Some are events at the end of the first era, some are events at the beginning of the second era, some are the migration process of ice elves, and some are reflections of predecessors on that war.
'From the analysis of the development of the hundreds of years after the end of the Second Era, it can be seen that the way the elves fought against the Quicksilver Dynasty was a failure. '—"Summary of the Great War of the Past," Third Age 672, Maester Shelley.
"Although we sacrificed a lot, the stubborn resistance of the forest elves, and the annihilation of the silver elves, we were unable to stop the increasingly vicious nine-headed mercury snake. ’
'The Quicksilver Dynasty is not a country or a whole. In fact, its own composition is quite complex. Witches, necromancers, descendants of the True Red Empire, warlords, black knights, etc., they all use the wisteria crescent as their flag and call themselves For the Quicksilver Dynasty, the biggest reason is still revenge. '
'The revenge of the human ancestors being persecuted by ogres and orcs, the revenge of the destruction of the True Red Empire, and the revenge of the death of the Witch of Harvest, these remnants who have been chased to the ends of the earth, have already embarked on the path of extremism. ’
'I wouldn't believe it if they built a country with a rich culture, richness and happiness, but to the people at that time, it didn't seem to matter. ’
‘They don’t care about those exquisite poems and paintings, stories and legends, benevolence, righteousness and morality. ’
'If we elves did this, they would have been torn apart by internal opposition, and it would be worth the constant internal friction, but if they were replaced, there would be no side effects at all. ’
'In that crazy era, everything was allowed, and although those weak beings among them would feel insecure, they wouldn't think there was anything wrong with such a system, but they agreed. ’
"Equality? That's just a joke. Humans have never enjoyed the concept of equality. This was something that the ancestors of elves never realized at the time."
‘Before the First Era, the elves entered the age of civilization gently, rich in resources and kind to each other. ’
‘Where exactly were humans before the first era, there is almost no record in history, if there is, it is at most a rat-like existence outside the wilderness, no more civilized than ogres. ’
'In the battle of opening up, the ancestors defeated the giant royal court, but we did not expand the country to the entire continent, because many places are far less comfortable and beautiful than the world tree. ’
'This gave a lot of opportunities for weak races, and perhaps at that time, humans developed in the cracks. ’
'But even so, there are Orcs who are more prolific, expand faster, and more powerful than them. ’
"So its gathering places can only be limited to remote corners, which lasted until the blood moon witch Julis changed the pattern."
"After that, the True Red Empire slowly rose, and then a human kingdom was established, and civilization began to develop."
'But this process was interrupted hundreds of years later, the True Red Empire was destroyed, and the great witches represented by the Witch of Harvest passed away, which dealt a huge blow to mankind, and also laid a foreshadowing of future hatred. '
'If you live first, you can talk about equality and other things. In fact, human beings have never been able to gain a sense of security in life. At that time, no one talked about topics such as equality. The Mercury Dynasty can act without fear. Unscrupulous is their policy. '
"Faced with such a difficult and vicious opponent, the failure of the ancestors was not wronged. ’
'But if you look at the internal problems of the Qingshui Silver Dynasty at that time, keep the strength to the greatest extent, and avoid direct conflict with the opponent, as long as the Quicksilver Dynasty is promoted to the altar of victory, when they have no opponents, they will lose. direction, the so-called nine-headed mercury snake will begin to struggle and devour itself, and then disintegrate. ’
'The development of history also proves this. ’
'Unfortunately, the ancestors did not endure until that time. '
The sentence at the end of the scroll is marked with a huge red cross, and it is unknown which senior who borrowed it left his own handwriting on it.
'Stupid, people are holding a knife in front of your house, they are going to burn your house down and kill the whole family, and you say that you are not patient enough, it's a joke! ’
There is another line of blue handwriting below, but it looks more polished and graceful, it should be written by another person.
'In the second era, three witches descended on the top of the world tree and turned it into a sea of flames. Nearly a million elves who stood firm were buried in it. This kind of patience is already the ultimate, the ancestors have done enough. We shouldn't judge it arbitrarily, and if some of the history recorded in this book is not really fresh, I don't think I would come to rent it. ’
'Following generations always look at history and feel that they
Great achievements can be achieved, but at that time, many heroes and powerful beings disappeared without a sound. Could it be that they could not see clearly or were not smart? Please respect the existence of those historical names, they have tried their best to the limit of what they can do at that time. ’
Yi Xue Gelin flipped through the book, and after reading it, she shook her head slightly, as if she was not satisfied with some academic statements about the future generations of ice elves, but she sighed and put it back where she was.
In the following days, she began to read a lot of historical records after the First Era to understand the changes in the thinking and culture of the ice elves over the past thousand years.
And so until two months later.
At this time, Lorraine Hill and Teva had already left the Ice Palace Court and went to the depths of the sea, and Isegrin also slowly and roughly understood the changes of history.
It was another day when the library was closed and rested. The library was extremely quiet. Ise Gelin was suspended in the room, and her eyes swept over the titles of the books on the shelves.
It's almost there, she thought silently in her heart, and then slowly parked her doll body in a corner behind a hidden bookshelf.
This is a dead end that no one will find for a long time, and she has already discovered it during her time in the library.
Then--
Under the cold window sill, a beautiful and graceful figure slowly takes shape. The complicated dress decorated with flowers on his body and the delicate and graceful laurel wreath on his head all symbolize the luxurious and extremely complicated elves in the first era. style of.
Light pink and white irises are pinned in the hair, and the long skirt is dotted with layers of flowers. The cloth softer than silk and moonlight wraps the moving figure. In the middle of the white chest, a diamond-shaped Gemstones are adorned with them, which complement each other with the skin and face, like a dream.
If there are elf nobles of that era here, they will definitely recognize it. This is the 'Princess Glacier' that many elves are looking forward to.
It's time to see those old stubborn ones. I feel that the old guys from the past era have not completely died. They may have a way to hibernate or transform into ghosts. Otherwise, some traditional customs of ice elves will not be so stubborn and tenacious. .
Yixue stood in front of the window, looking at the top of the cold mountain under the starry night in the distance, and then turned into a shadow and light and sand again, passing through the night sky, and driving towards the distance.
There should be the answer she was looking for.
