Chapter 335 Five Hundred Years of Perseverance

More than a hundred years after the fall of the Holy Tree Kingdom, a collector accidentally found a notebook left by the Elf Sage while exchanging old books.

He thought he had discovered a rare treasure and wanted to understand some of the secrets of Elf magic from it, but he found that this thing was just an ordinary diary.

However, the collector thought that this was always a historical document, what if he could dig out some important information from it? So he patiently started reading.

It turned out that unlike the mysterious and powerful people rumored by the outside world, this great sage known for magic was either playing music or eating and drinking every day. Anyway, he was messy all day long, socializing and enjoying a lot of shit, but he didn't do any serious work.

The collector also grew up listening to the stories of the sage. When his idol collapsed, he felt cheated. When a friend came to visit him, he angrily shared this diary. As a result, his friend laughed after reading it and said that this was the funniest joke book he had ever seen in his life.

This gave the collector inspiration. He thought about it for a night and felt that it would be a waste of resources to keep the book in his hands. He had to spread it so that people all over the world could see what the great sage really looked like. He perfectly reproduced it, even keeping the cover format completely, and printed countless copies of it to circulate in the world.

As a result, the collector became a well-known tycoon with this legendary masterpiece known as "the greatest joke book in the world of Yangyue". It is rumored that his descendants still live a rich life with the help of their ancestors' tricks.

After the elf sage Hathaway Eleonora Teldorek Ebony was exiled to the edge of civilization and disappeared, the only good reputation left was completely destroyed because of the exposure of this diary. Since then, no one has cared about the fate of this old man from the previous dynasty, and he has been buried in the dust of history.

However, for the old lady who was already disheartened, she felt that this fate was only her own fault, and therefore she made up her mind to completely abandon Hathaway, the name that had a higher appearance rate and was once famous all over the world, and chose to use Blois, a nickname that many people did not know, as her new name.

"I see..."

After listening to Blois's explanation, Ji Ming pondered for a moment, but thought of another question.

"By the way, as a great sage, you are the second person in the Holy Tree Kingdom anyway. Why were the king and queen directly pushed to the guillotine, and many nobles including the Holy Nine also died on the gallows, but only you were exiled?"

Following this line of thought, Ji Ming thought of more historical mysteries.

"Also, you clearly didn't suffer any torture when you were exiled, but why did you disappear after leaving Jueqiao Pass, and become what you are now... and even cursed by the God of the Jungle, what happened in between?"

"Stop, stop, stop, don't ask the old man so many questions at once!"

After taking the spirit-gathering liquid handed over by Ji Ming at the speed of light, Bulova, who always felt weak after recovering from a serious illness, took a breath of blood.

"In fact, these questions can be explained by one answer, listen carefully."

Ji Ming knew that Bulova's next sentence would definitely be shocking news, but he never expected that it would be a bombshell that could overturn the entire history book.

"In fact, after the Deep Forest Army entered the Dachun Forest and declared victory in the war, the Lionheart King did not issue any orders to kill the surrendered elves, and even strictly restrained the army."

"When he met us at the surrender ceremony, he did not humiliate us. Instead, he took the initiative to hand us a glass of wine and thanked us for surrendering and not letting this ancient forest with thousands of years of history suffer any damage."

? ? ?

The Lionheart King's recognized black spots, in addition to the chaotic relationship between men and women, are the burning of the Dachun Forest and the massacre of the surrendered elves. How come the teacher, the person involved, denied the latter two?

...

No, if that's the case, everything makes sense

Although I haven't communicated with the Lionheart King for a long time, I can see from his few words that he may not be a good person in the traditional sense, but he is definitely not a madman, and he still retains his progressive ideas.

Therefore, in his conception, the elves, especially the sacred nine surnames as hereditary nobles, are far more useful alive than dead. They must be dragged from the gorgeous palace to the farmland and the mines to let them experience what labor, dedication, and responsibility are, so as to completely transform this decadent group.

——Even the king of your country is teaching in the school opened by our Deep Forest. What qualifications do you have to continue to make trouble?

And it was this sentence relayed by Blois that made Ji Ming believe that this was the plan that the little lion really implemented. After all, he was too familiar with this theory. If it wasn't for his family, he wouldn't do this.

As for why the king and queen were killed in the end, and the Dachun Forest and the elves were almost exterminated...

As a modern time traveler, Giuseppe seemed to be the greatest king in the minds of the Deep Forest nobles, and the lord who was willing to sacrifice his life for this, but he was also the biggest outlier among the Deep Forest nobles.

Apart from anything else, the soldiers fought for seven days and seven nights in order to enter the Dachun Forest as early as possible to make a fortune from the war. In the end, the Lionheart King took away the reward for passing the level with just a few words.

If it weren't for the fact that no one under BYD's command could match him in terms of military exploits and abilities, and no one was sure to replace him, the army would have mutinied as soon as this order was issued.

So when he was alive, he could still forcibly change and dominate the future of the kingdom with his own will, learn from the advanced experience of his predecessors such as Empress Wu of the Qin Dynasty and Chongba, and suppress all opposition voices inside and outside the capital.

But when he died young inexplicably in the bed of a succubus... Well, in fact, the authenticity of this old joke is also questionable... In short, many things are not something that a dead lion can control.

Therefore, as soon as the Lionheart died, a quarrel broke out between several princes at the funeral. If it weren't for his truckload of lovers who intervened in time, I'm afraid they would have staged a loyal and filial scene of brothers fighting in front of their father's portrait.

But even so, there are many brothers and sisters, but only one throne, and the Lionheart King died too early, and there was no time to determine who would be the heir. Then every direct descendant has the right to inherit. Under the objective contradictions and conflicts of interest, the young lions began to eat chicken.

So in the internal struggle between the 24 powerful dukes and several ruthless descendants, the elves who were imprisoned in the forest became the victims of their bravery and fierceness, and finally turned into ashes with their homes.

But this group of arrogant "young" nobles obviously underestimated the influence of the elves that had been deeply rooted in this land for thousands of years. After the third prince beheaded the heads of the elven king and queen in public with a guillotine in order to establish his authority, the internal struggle of the kingdom's high-level officials began to slide towards a civil war.

Those nobles who were once vassals of the Holy Tree, who later "abandoned the dark and joined the Deep Forest", and still had considerable power in the kingdom with the influence of their families, burst out with strong opposition.

It's not that they are still loyal to their old masters, but they are afraid that if they continue to settle accounts like this, the crazy new nobles will kill them together. Therefore, the elven sage who should have been beheaded escaped and received a ridiculous exile punishment in the game between the parties.

It was also in this contest that the two major noble camps in the deep forest and the contradictory relationship between them were officially determined. One side was the northern nobles who started with weapons and held military power to fight against the Khanate of Pemos because most of their fiefs were located in the northern border of the kingdom; the other side was the western nobles who started with business and held financial power because most of their fiefs were located in the western border of the kingdom, mastering the ocean trade routes and a strong navy.

This pattern has continued to this day and has a far-reaching influence.

The western nobles felt that their face was respected and successfully made the arrogant northern nobles, who could almost be described as warlords, give in.

The northern nobles also felt that they had made a lot of money this time and successfully received a batch of expensive military aid from the wealthy western nobles.

Unfortunately, they did not forget the elven sage they had sent out of civilization. Although they did not send assassins to kill him, they contacted the Deep Forest Church, the national religion of the Deep Forest, and asked them to send someone to "take care" of him.

After that, things were relatively simple. Bulova was assassinated. He escaped by luck after using all means, but he became a cripple and was cursed by the God of the Deep Forest. Every minute and every second since then was painful.

But it was also this process that allowed Bulova to complete her second growth. She woke up and knew that the past could not be made up, but at least she still had room for operation and had to use her power on some things within her ability.

So she quietly traveled around the world, looking for those missing companions as an elven sage and giving them help within her ability, and this search lasted for five hundred years.

After finally confirming the life and death of the last person on the list, she returned to Sunshine City, feeling that she had little time left.

Who knew that the gears of fate would turn creakingly, and three months later, a high-dimensional being named Ji Ming also descended here.

"You have been busy with other people's affairs for hundreds of years, so you should live for yourself in the last bit of time. At least don't break the inheritance of our Ebony Clan. Therefore, I regard you as my last disciple, otherwise why would I teach you so hard."

After telling his story, Bulova leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

Ji Ming was silent for a while.

"In fact, you don't have to blame yourself so much. Even if you had the awareness you have now, the Holy Tree Kingdom, which is in a state of deep trouble, can never be saved by one person. It was too late when you were born."

"Maybe, but I didn't think about changing the past, and not being able to do it is never a reason not to do it."

Bulova's dry lips trembled.

"In fact, when I found the head of the Rose family and told him that I wanted to find every member of the tribe and determine their whereabouts, he didn't believe I could do it, but the fact is that he was wrong."

"Well, I know..."

It's a pity that the mistakes made in the past can never be restored to the way they were in the past no matter how they make up for it.

Just like Bulova's appearance at this moment, whether she likes it or not, whether she accepts it or not, it will never be possible to restore it to the way it was in the past.

Talking about the past always carries a strong sense of regret, so after Ji Ming's response, both of them fell into silence.

Just when Ji Ming thought that Bulova had fallen asleep and was wondering whether to put her in Dog Town or find a bed in the high tower castle, the old lady suddenly opened her eyes.

"Does it mean you won't let me go today if I don't tell you?"

"Uh... I think you're a little sleepy. Why don't you take a rest?"

This was the first time Ji Ming saw an expression that could be called a "wry smile" on Blois' face.

"I'm not sleepy, it's just that my body doesn't hurt all of a sudden. I feel like nothing matters anymore, as if I'm about to die..."

Ji Ming originally thought that the God of Death was cruel if he used poison gas bombs as a draw, but he didn't expect that there would be another cruel person who used curses as a stimulant for him. After finally getting rid of him, he still felt that living was boring.

What is this iron will? Do you have such an iron will? He is so stubborn and ambitious, even when he passed the security check, he was so scared that the machine went crazy.

"sharp."

With a casual compliment, Ji Ming activated the teleportation technique and returned to the clinic with Blois.

It was noon, the morning patients had finished digesting, and the afternoon patients had not yet arrived. It was Adele's rare rest time.

So she locked the door, took off her shoes, and was lying on the sofa where Ji Ming usually sat, reading a comic book with a crazy smile on her face. She didn't restrain herself until she heard some noise and raised her head.

"doctor?"

Ji Ming was just about to say hello to her, but he looked at the cover of the comic and quickly rushed over to snatch it away.

"Can children read this kind of book? Children can't read this kind of book! It's confiscated, and you are sitting in this position, practicing gymnastics, right? Can you restrain yourself a little?"

Although Ji Ming successfully removed the curse on Blois, her lost limbs could not be restored for the time being, so she walked very slowly until Ji Ming read the comic book titled "The Wonderful Stories of the Elf Sage" After the destruction was completed, he walked down.

It can only be said that although they are not related by blood, the three of them are not messed up for three generations. Some things do have a certain inheritance, such as their sensitive sense of other people's status.

So Adele just glanced at it and asked in a low voice.

"Doctor, Ms. Blois seems to be in particularly good spirits today. Did you cure some hidden disease of hers?"
