Chapter 554 [War?](1/2)
After hearing Lan Lan's words, Han Ye's eyes became strange.
Well, with the nature of an elf, he loves all good things. To put it bluntly, it is a race that is willing to be romantic until death. It is extremely normal for any spark of love to sprout.
Just...and a human? This is a bit abnormal.
The elves are romantic, but also extremely conservative. The elves are extremely repulsive of intermarriage between other races, which is almost "traditional".
Most of the stories circulating in history are about human boys falling in love with beautiful elf women. But... an elf woman falls in love with a human, and is willing to abandon her tribe for this human being and run away from home... This is a bit too much.
Tata protested in a timely manner: "Nonsense! It was clearly that hateful human who deceived my sister with sweet words! Barossa is a simple and kind girl! Her heart is as pure as crystal!"
Lan Lan simply stopped talking, she just sighed and spread her hands.
Han Ye hesitated for a moment and chose to take a step back: "Okay, I think this kind of thing... I don't know the truth, so I have no position to say anything. But..." Han Ye still chose to support her human friend: "She did not kidnap your sister. Even if the human who took your sister knew her, I don't think it would be possible to add the charge to her."
In terms of relationships, Han Ye still slightly tends to be blue, so her word is "take away" rather than "kill".
"It's all the same. There's nothing good for humans!" Tata whispered angrily.
Lan Lan suddenly felt a strong absurd feeling in her heart.
Two years ago, I left this forest with Darling Chen... At the beginning, I was obviously with Darling Chen, and then... I chose to leave him, beside Du Weiwei... After that, the elf chased after him, and then...
Now, this elf named Tata says he kidnapped his sister?
Uh... If I were to say it, at the beginning, I and the female elf named Barossa should be considered a rival to love?
It's really ridiculous.
"I have nothing to say, I'll say what I should say. This matter actually has nothing to do with me." Lan Lan said lightly: "I know that guy... that's all. As for your sister's departure, I don't know the situation."
"At least...you have to tell me where he took my sister!"
Lan Lan suddenly felt a move in her heart.
She stared at Tata carefully and then found a trace of unusualness.
This elf...he was carrying a small baggage behind him.
"Elf, you don't want to go to the human world to find your sister, right?" Lan Lan's tone was a little solemn.
"Why not!" Tata's emotions gradually became excited.
"This is not a good idea." Lan Lan said seriously. She glanced at Han Ye, then stared at Tata again: "You are an elf, you know nothing about the human world. And... it is very dangerous for an elf to enter the human world alone."
"I'm not afraid of danger." Tata was very determined, and he patted his sword: "I have the ability to protect myself."
"I believe you should be good at your skills. In fact, I have a good impression of the elves near Dayuan Lake. When I was training in this forest, I received a lot of help from the elves. But I still want to warn you that this is definitely a bad idea." Lan Lan tried to make her tone sound sincere: "The world of human beings is not all easy-to-talk people like me. There are also many sinister evildoers, cunning and greedy merchants, and even...slave dealers! Elves like you are the prey that slave dealers most hope to catch!"
Lan Lan's warning was very sincere and she did not tell any lies.
Although peace has been more than a hundred years, human slave traders have never given up pursuing interests. The beautiful elves are their favorite commodity - the beauty of the elves, which is the greatest source of tragic destiny to them.
Female elves are the best products. Because of the talented and beautiful appearance of the elves, many wealthy nobles in the empire like to buy some women's elves as their personal favors. Among the top wealthy families in the empire, which family does not maintain the forbidden property of several elves?
This is almost a trend.
Moreover, because the elves' lifespan is relatively long, at least much longer than the human lifespan, an elf female slave can even serve two or three generations of human masters, and can maintain youthful beauty for decades. This kind of top-quality treasure is the most popular among the rich and nobles among humans.
Compared with the expensive value of female elves, male elves slaves are also very popular.
On the one hand, there are naturally some strange tastes of human aristocrats. After all, it is not very rare among aristocrats to like male style. In addition, male elf slaves have another important role, which is to... breed.
Yes, this is not ridiculous.
Because elves are very difficult to capture - elves hardly leave the frozen forest, and it is very difficult to catch natural darlings in the big forest. If they are not done well, they will lose their lives.
Therefore, many slave traders will choose a safer approach: breed on their own.
In fact, the vast majority of the elves circulating in the empire are breeding from slave traders themselves.
As long as an elf is captured, she (he) can be fertilized with humans. The offspring born in this way is a mixed-blood elf, which is the so-called half-elves.
Generally speaking, half-elves will still inherit the beauty and various talents of the elves, but will be slightly weakened in some aspects, but they are still very popular.
Compared to spending a lot of manpower and material resources, it is so dangerous to climb mountains and wade into the frozen forest to capture elves, and you have to risk the entire army being wiped out... Then raising elves at home is the safest way.
Generally speaking, a pure-blooded elf, a slave trader, would not choose to sell such goods directly - no matter how much money you give it, you won't sell it! Because this is a hen that can lay golden eggs!
A young male elves like Tata are pure blood. Once caught by human slave traders, humans will destroy him directly, and may directly break the tendons of their hands and feet, and then lock them up, just like a wild beast.
Then... he would continue to provide him with various human women for mating. He would be forced to be given various strongly irritating drugs every day.
An elf has a very long lifespan, even up to two or three hundred years. The elves' reproduction period is longer than that of humans.
An elf can be used as a breeding tool and can be used for decades. It can constantly "produce" expensive goods such as half-elves, and can be sold at very high prices.
Don’t think being a stallion is a happy and simple thing. For this kind of elves, slave traders’ methods are very cruel! First of all, in order to ensure that the elves will not resist or escape, they must break their limbs. Some cruel slave traders will even blind the elves’ eyes and pull out their teeth! There will be no room for resistance for him!
Then he was locked in a dark room and kept in a prison cell for many years.
Various drugs are poured every day—most of which are aphrodisiac and irritating.
Because the reproductive ability of elves is usually relatively low, the number of matings must be as many as possible to ensure that the second generation of half-elves can be produced.
Generally speaking, the elves who become mate tools will have a very miserable fate. Many under the hands of slave traders, they have to survive in such a tragic environment for twenty or thirty years before they die miserably.
The tower in front of you...
He is young, handsome, pure-blooded elves, and... his martial arts seem not too strong, and his temperament is a bit reckless and simple.
Once this guy enters the human world, no one will protect him. I am afraid that he will be targeted by slave traders before he reaches the free port.
"If you dare to go to the Roland Empire, you're afraid you won't even be able to get to the border of the empire. There are many slave traders waiting to catch a lamb like you, like you." Lan Lan shook her head and sighed.
"I believe my friends won't deceive you." Han Ye pondered for a moment: "Go to the human world... I think that place must be big and big. It is not a smart idea to go to that kind of place to find someone."
"But I have to go!" Tata gritted his teeth: "I have to go!"
"Why?"
Tata frowned and looked at Han Ye. His tone was a little strange: "Do you still need to ask? The war is about to break out! The great King of Luoxue has issued the order for war, and we are about to start a war with humans! At this time, how can I continue to watch my sister wandering in the human world! I must take her back before the war breaks out! Once the war begins... she will definitely be killed by humans!"
Lan Lan subconsciously took a step back and broke a branch under her feet.
Lan Lan looked at Tata in surprise: "You, what did you say? War, War? Are you talking about war?!"
"You mean, war?" Han Ye's eyes also became serious.
"Of course." Tata frowned: "What's going on with you? Master Big Elf, have you not received the king's order? Just a few days ago, all tribes had received the news that the great and most noble Lord Luoxue had returned. He had regained the throne, supported by all tribes, and had become the king of all elves again! The king had conveyed the highest order, and all tribes were mobilized. Once the winter ended, the war would break out! King Luoxue had sent people to contact the orcs. I think... With King Luoxue's prestige, the tiger of the orcs would definitely not dare to refuse, so..."
"See, see the hell!"
Blue's face turned pale!
Elf clan...orcs...
Is this another massive invasion?
History more than 140 years ago has repeated?!
Han Ye was not as moved as Lan Lan. She was just a little surprised. Then, the elf's eyes showed a hint of strangeness.
Another war?
"Will the war start to begin when winter is over?" Han Ye looked at Tata seriously.
"I...I don't know the specifics. That's what the elders of the tribe know. I only know that the war is not far away, and the fastest thing is that winter is over. However... the tribes are still mobilizing warriors and doing a lot of preparations. I think, well, I think... it will take some time to contact orcs and dwarves. But the war is indeed coming, and this is absolutely impossible to be wrong."
For some reason, Tata felt that she was afraid to face the eyes of the big elf in front of her. As if she took a look at her, she would feel a sense of awe from the bottom of her heart, as if no matter what question the other party asked, she would involuntarily say it, and she would not dare to resist at all.
This...this temperament is even more irresistible than an ordinary big elf.
Han Ye nodded slightly.
The next moment, she walked to Lanlan: "This is really unpleasant news, Lanlan."
Blue: “………”
"I think some changes should happen to our journey here." Han Ye sighed softly: "Maybe the thing you want to do most now is to return to the human world to inform you of this news immediately?"
"Will you... stop me?" Lan Lan's tone was a little difficult. She knew Han Ye's strength very well. If the other party wanted to stop her, she would not even have the ability to resist at all.
"..." Han Ye seemed to smile: "You go, no matter what, we are friends, and... I may not necessarily support this war."
Lan Lan was stunned for a moment.
"Can you do me a favor?" Han Ye said softly: "The plan has changed. Now I can't accompany you to the south of the frozen forest to see... I think I have more important things to do. We... maybe let's separate here."
"...Okay." Lan Lan nodded immediately: "What do you need me to do for you?"
"His sister." Han Ye smiled and said, "Since you recognize the human man who took his sister away, I think you should know where he is, right? No matter what, abducting an elf is a sin that the elf cannot accept. I want to ask you... If you can, you can find him and put that elf..."
"I'm afraid I can't do it." Lan Lan smiled bitterly, "That guy has become very powerful now, and I'm not his opponent. If you want me to force Tata's sister back, I'm afraid I don't have this ability. In the human world, he is very powerful, and even our pope must be polite to him."
(Even if I am willing to do it, I'm afraid he won't let me do it.) Lan Lan smiled bitterly in her heart.
She knew very well how much Darlingchen cherished that elf.
"And... I think that elf really likes that guy, and she probably won't be willing to come back." Lan Lan hesitated and finished saying this.
"Is that true?"
Han Ye hesitated for a moment, she walked aside, gently picked a leaf, and looked in her hand.
To be continued...
