Chapter 140: Elven Civil War
“Star Meteor?” Arthas suddenly smiled bitterly: “This item is the most mysterious. Records of it in the Elven history are extremely rare. Plus, it has been missing for tens of thousands of years. I don’t even know what shape it is!”
“Isn’t that a Divine Artifact of the Elves? How could it go missing?” Old Xie immediately asked in great confusion.
“Sigh!” Arthas sighed, then thought for a moment, and finally said: “Since you are of the Elven Royal Family, I won’t hide some things from you.” After saying that, Arthas looked around and found that everyone present was from the Elves, including Chris Chen. Several of Constantine’s seriously injured subordinates were unconscious, so there were no outsiders around.
So Arthas said bitterly: “Speaking of this, it is really the most tragic scene in the history of the Elves. It is so humiliating! About 20,000 years ago, a great chaos occurred in our Elven race. Some guys among the Dark Moon Elves were corrupted by the Evil God Spider Queen Rose and intended to unify the Elves. At that time, the Elves had unified the Continent for tens of thousands of years. We took the Sun Elf Clan Head as the Emperor, and the other two Clan Heads as Regents, forming a council to manage various affairs together. It was a situation of three power s standing like a tripod, but at that time, everyone’s relationship was originally very good.”
“But since the Dark Moon Elves’ Royal Family was corrupted by evil energy, everything changed. They knew that with the strength of one clan alone, they could not achieve the goal of unifying the Elves. So they came up with a plan to sow discord, making the Sun Elves and Star Elves have conflicts, and even went so far as to assassinate the royal families of the two clans and then frame each other. In the end, after decades of planning by the Moon Elf, the united Elves fell apart. The Sun Elves and Star Elves each took some subordinate Elf clans close to them and started a big fight.” Arthas said somewhat helplessly.
“Actually, the strengths of the three Elven Royal Families were similar, so they should have both been hurt. But for some reason, the Star Elves split into two parts. A small number of people firmly did not want to fight an Elven civil war, while the other part had no choice but to fight alone. However, that small number of people held the Star Elves’ Divine Artifact, the Star Meteor. In the end, the Sun Elves relied on the Sun God Bow to defeat the Star Elves who did not have a Divine Artifact.” Arthas then said painfully: “What happened next is the common shame of all Elves.”
“The victorious Sun Elves, under the instigation of the Dark Moon Elves, actually launched a massacre against the Star Elves. In the end, the Star Elf Clan was almost exterminated. Their highest High Priest, with wise eyes and mind, saw the disgraceful role played by the Dark Moon Elves in it. So even in this situation, they still did not use the Divine Artifact Star Meteor. Instead, they finally chose to completely end the glory of the Star Elves in their own holy land, Star Island in the South Sea.” Arthas said painfully: “It was at that time that the terrifying power of the Star Meteor was revealed to the world. A large island capable of accommodating hundreds of thousands of people was directly blasted into pieces, and the 100,000 High Elves on it all sank into the sea with the island!”
“Why were they so stupid?” Old Xie immediately asked in surprise: “Why didn’t they use the Star Meteor to avenge their clansmen?”
“Because at that time, the Elves had already been severely damaged. If the Star Elves had used the Star Meteor to wipe out the Sun Elves, then the entire Elven race would have perished. In order to prevent the conspiracy of the Dark Moon Elves from succeeding, they finally chose to use their own lives to awaken the conscience of the Sun Elves!” Arthas said painfully: “When the holy land sank, they sang a ‘Elegy of the High Elves’ together. This elegy, sung with the souls of 100,000 Elves, was actually heard by all Elves on the Continent. It was at that moment that we realized what a huge stupid thing we had done!”
“Subsequently, seeing the Star Elves’ land sink and the Sun Elves also suffer heavy losses in the continuous wars, the Dark Moon Elves then revealed their true colors, wanting to wipe us out and become the overlords of the Continent in one fell swoop.” Arthas then sneered: “Unfortunately, these idiots were happy too early. They arrogantly thought they were invincible in the world, but they ignored the other races outside the Elves. It was at that time that we Sun Elves decided to officially recognize Human Race, Beast Race and Dwarves as having the same status as us. But the Dark Moon Elves still wanted to enslave them. For freedom, humans, Orcs and Dwarves joined our ranks. Even the remaining Star Elves helped us fight against the Dark Moon Elves. After hundreds of years of melee, the Dark Moon Elves were finally completely defeated. The remaining forces fled into the dim Underground World.”
“I do know a little about this!” Old Xie nodded, then said: “But what about the Moon Wheel? And the remaining Star Elves?”
“The Moon Wheel was captured by us and is now in the hands of our Elves. As for the Star Elves, sigh!” Arthas sighed again and said: “We apologized to the remaining Star Elves with the most guilty hearts, but they refused to forgive us no matter what. The current Star Elves are divided into two branches. One is in the territory of the Orcs, which is the current Naga. The other is in the islands of the South Sea, which is the current Siren.”
Hearing this, Old Xie’s heart skipped a beat. He immediately thought of his own mother, the Legend Rank Prophet Natasha. Wasn’t she the Naga King? Could it be that she was of the Star Elf Royal Family? And because of this, he could use the Sun God Bow?
Sure enough, Arthas’s subsequent words almost confirmed Old Xie’s guess. He heard Arthas slowly say: “From the performance of the Sun God Bow just now, you are obviously not of our Sun Elf lineage. And the Elf that your ancestor married was a noble lady of our Sun Elves, so naturally she wouldn’t have the slightest bloodline of the other two clans. This is strange. Since the only bloodline related to the Elves in your body is the Sun Elf bloodline, why do you have the bloodline of other Elven Royal Families?”
“How do you know that Elf noble lady only had Sun Elf bloodline?” Old Xie immediately retorted: “Maybe her ancestors intermarried with the other two clans?” In order to cover up the secret of his bloodline, Old Xie could only forcefully argue.
“Hehe, you don’t know this. Our three great Elven Royal Families all have ancestral precepts passed down that we must not intermarry with each other. I am not clear about things before. But in the 20,000 years since the Elves split, there has absolutely not been a single mixed-race child born!” Arthas explained with a smile: “Actually, this is also normal. The Star Elves have snake lower bodies and more arms, which is completely different from our aesthetic views. Plus, they hate us extremely, so even if we wanted to intermarry, it would be very difficult. And the Dark Moon Elves have long disappeared from the Continent, so intermarriage is out of the question. From this, it can be seen that the Elf wife of your ancestor is unlikely to have the bloodline of the other two clans.”
“Yes!” Constantine nodded and said: “From your body shape, you have two feet, and only two arms, so you shouldn’t be a Star Elf. You look more like a Dark Moon Elf! Oh my, you aren’t a spy from the Underground World, are you?” Constantine suddenly said very playfully.
“Don’t talk nonsense, I have no relation to those shady guys!” Old Xie said somewhat unhappily.
“En!” Arthas also nodded, then teased: “Your words and deeds are indeed different from the Dark Moon Elves. Although they are bad, at least they know elegance. As for you, I have to say, your temper is actually very similar to the Beast Race! I highly suspect you have a blood relationship with the Naga of the Orcs!”
“Pretty Boy, are you looking for a beating?” Old Xie said somewhat angrily from embarrassment.
“Haha!” Seeing this, Arthas immediately laughed out loud. This made Old Xie lose face. Although he wanted to beat him up to vent his anger, he was too embarrassed to bully a wounded person. Fortunately, at this time, Arthas seemed to have pulled his wound, and cold sweat broke out from the pain. He couldn’t laugh anymore. This gave Old Xie the capital to gloat. He hurriedly mocked: “Haha, you got what you deserved, right?”
“You just say a few words less!” Constantine rolled her eyes at Old Xie, then hurried over to take care of Arthas. Seeing that his closed wound had actually cracked open again and was oozing a lot of pus and blood, she immediately became extremely anxious. She hurriedly wiped it for him while asking Old Xie: “Little Stephen, come and take a look, what is going on?”
“Why ask me? I’m not a doctor specifically?” Old Xie couldn’t help but complain. But although he said that, he still walked over to take a look.
“Because you are so capable!” Constantine hurriedly coaxed him: “I know you are amazing. Please help treat Brother Arthas!”
“You just have a sweet mouth!” Old Xie had no choice but to take her on. He carefully examined Arthas, then smiled bitterly and said: “He is quite unlucky. Although Tianfeng Fourteen Lang’s sword didn’t pierce the heart, it seemed to have punctured his large artery, and the toxin entered the heart along the blood. Although I removed some of it, the remaining part has also caused him heavy damage.”
“Then what to do? How about you help him expel the poison again?” Constantine asked anxiously.
“Using my energy to expel the poison will bring out a lot of blood. Once is okay, but if we do it more, he will be done for due to massive blood loss!” Old Xie said helplessly with a bitter smile.
“Then think of a way to save him!” Constantine asked anxiously.
“Actually, he won’t die for a while. He is just weak. He should be able to hold on for more than ten days. When we get to the Elves, there will naturally be a way to treat him!” Old Xie said, “Tianfeng Fourteen Lang’s Voodoo is very powerful. We’d better not move it blindly. If we don’t do it well, it will make things worse!”
