Chapter 18 The Ancient Road
The Ancient Road? Sun King Court? Qin Lun's eyes flashed, pretending to be clear, and at the same time, he divided his mind and looked at it in the death list. This information must not be asked about Ilistin. After all, his current identity is also an elf. Even the history of the elf clan is not clear, so it arouses doubt.
Fortunately, the death list includes introductions to the Ancient Road and the Sun King Court, which are an important part of the world's background. Since the Broken Starry Sky can completely piece together the epic lines of the Great Elf civilization, it is naturally familiar with the Ancient Road and the Sun King Court of the Elf.
The elves of the Feren continent did not originally belong to the Torrell world, but were connected to a certain external interface of the main material world of Torrell, called Fairlier.
The reason for Fairlier's destruction is that the Broken Star Sky is not yet known. They only know that the survivors of the Tintargier Elf Kingdom break the interface through the power of high-time and space magic, came to Torrell, and settled in a continent that was almost covered by forests. They called it Feiren, which means the only land.
The elves came to the early days of Feiron, and the rulers of Torrell were giants and dragons. The elves and dwarves established many small thriving settlements throughout Feiron. The dwarves defeated the giants and began to establish empires. Before the end of this era, the elves began to do the same thing to defeat the dragons.
After sharing the rule of the continent with the ancient dwarves, hundreds of elves high wizards gathered in the heart of Feren, calling it the place of gathering, intending to cast spells to create a glorious elves home.
They had long forgotten the lessons of the destruction of the Tintagir Elf Kingdom centuries ago. The only land, Feilun, was shattered by the magical power released by the spell. As a result, hundreds of elves were destroyed, countless elves died, and the world of Torrell was also changed. The name Feilun does not refer to the only land, but to the largest continent now. Yongju Island was separated from the only road at that time.
After the elves revived again, the first period of prosperity of the Great Elf civilization began. There were four elves that survived at that time, including Sun Elf, Moon Elf, Green Elf and Dark Elf. The Sun Elf was the most powerful. Under the leadership of the elf guardian Kerrellon Larisian, the first post-disaster settlement was established in a forest north of Feren.
The Sun Elf called this forest the Supreme Forest, and regarded itself as the Elf Royal Family, and called the Elf Royal Family in the Supreme Forest the Sun King. Their behavior quickly aroused the dissatisfaction of the other three elves. Among them, the high priest Rose clearly led the Dark Elves to oppose the Sun Elves led by Ke Ruilong, and soon moved out of the Supreme Forest and established the Dark Elves' own Elf Court in Ilisri.
From then on, the Dark Elf and the Sun Elf became increasingly mortal enemies. Because the resentment of the Moon Elf and the Green Elf did not support themselves in the racial differences, they also had no favoritism for these two races. This elf branch eventually slowly went to the depravity, and after the five crown wars, they moved into the underground realm and became the infamous drow elves.
Although the Moon Elf and the Green Elf did not support the Dark Elf clan in racial differences, they were also deeply dissatisfied with the aggressive and arrogant attitude of the Sun Elf and the expansion concept of excluding dissidents. In order to avoid civil war, most of the Moon Elf and the Green Elf began to migrate to the south of the Feren continent.
These moon elves and green elves slowly established many elves settlements such as Ilfaron, Keldomo, Maileta and Santa Osriel. Among them, Keldomo's settlements were very wide, including elves kingdoms such as Olishare, Thorental, Eilur and Seopia.
In the two epic dragon wars and five crown wars, many forests were burned by fires and wars, many elves kingdoms were destroyed, and the ancient heritage of the elves suffered irreversible losses.
Among them, the Maileta Elf Kingdom was annexed by Erivanda in the First Crown War. Elisri, Olishare, Eilur, and Santa Osriel were destroyed in the Second to Fourth Crown Wars. Olishare and Eilur were destroyed by Elisri's dark elves, while Santa Osriel was destroyed by the Keldomo coalition due to betrayal.
Of course, because of too many enemies, Yilisri's dark elves were eventually defeated and moved into the underground realm and became the drow elves.
During this period, Erivanda's Sun Elf reached its peak and established the Waxing Enta Empire. Due to its great achievements in the war against the Dark Elves, the Sun King Court began to be recognized by the Feren Moon Elves and the Green Elves, and the Sun Elf finally became a veritable Pan-Continental Elves.
However, the good times did not last long. In less than two hundred years, the Waxing Enta Empire declined from prosperity.
This opportunity was similar to the reason for the decline of all the great empires, and the sun elves split from the inside. This gave the high mages and moon god priests who died in Arivanda and lurked everywhere, and they began to reverse the unfavorable situation of the struggle for freedom resistance.
The fifth Crown War began, and the elves of other races defeated the Imperial Army and invaded the Supreme Forest. The last Crown War ended with the complete failure of the Imperial Army of Waxing Enta and the division of Erivanda. Many parts of the Supreme Forest were abandoned, allowing the forest to survive freely.
The split sun elves migrated to the east and entered the Cormanso Forest. However, the fall of most royal members made them lose their ancient heritage, and from then on, there will be no longer a Sun King Court.
The five crown wars brought the great elf civilization to the end, and humanity began to rise. Ilfran and Kyldormo were the only two complete elf civilizations that survived the crown war. However, during this period, the Kyldormo Forest had been divided by fires and wars and many small forests.
The elves migrated to the south and east again and again in the war, plus the sun elves who migrated eastward from the north of the continent to Cormanso. The entire elves started from the supreme forest in the northwest of the continent, extending southward to the Mist Forest, Veldas Forest, Mill Forest, Winter Forest, Anker Forest, and to the Jondale Forest, and eastward to Cormanso Forest.
These two paths of elves migration are called "Ancient Roads".
Nowadays, due to the demise of the second generation of World Trees, the Sun Elves of Cormanso began to undergo a major migration again. They wanted to transfer to Yongju Island. Yongju Island is actually a fragment of the ancient Feren continent, with a huge area and all the island is covered by forests. It is said to be an island, but it is actually equivalent to a mini continent.
When the Sun Elf's Waxing Enta Empire and the Sun King Court were destroyed, some Sun Elf, Moon Elf and Green Elf colonized, and even some dark elves before the fall, among which the Sun Elf accounted for more than 70% of the population.
Compared with the increasingly powerful humans on the Feren continent, Yongju Island without foreign races is the paradise for the elves. Many elves have realized that this era belongs to humans. Do the elves living in the Feren continent hide in the remote forest and survive and integrate into the human society, and there is no third way to go.
Although the current power of the elves is still strong, this trend cannot be changed. Just like the Jondal elves thousands of years ago, at the cost of the decline of the Moon Elf royal family, most of the territory of the Jondal Kingdom became the Weihong Sea. However, it has no effect on the overall human world, and their recovery power is far from comparable to the Jondal elves.
In view of this understanding, the sun elves of Cormanso had a sudden idea. They took advantage of the great migration and sent envoys to visit the elves in the forest one by one along the ancient road, and persuaded all the elves on the Feren continent to move to Yongju Island together.
Of course, they knew that this persuasion would not be ideal. Except for a few elves with poor living conditions, most elves will no longer easily believe in the Japanese elves. Their expansion concept of being the only one in ancient times was really unpopular.
However, the Japanese elves hope that this effort can lay a solid foundation for the future elves family. Sooner or later, the elves in the Feren continent will gradually move to Yongju Island due to the step-by-step pressure from humans. At that time, the Japanese elves that occupy the majority of the population may be able to rebuild the Sun King Court again.
"So that's it!" Qin Lun thought and nodded slowly as he listened to Ilistin's narration.
"The journey of the Sun Elves from the Supreme Forest to Cormanso is now isolated from the Enoak Desert full of Felin Demon Aoy. They can only cross the Falling Star Sea to the south first and detour the Weihong Sea. The Jondale Forest is their first stop." Ilistin sighed admirably.
"Next, they will follow the south of Winter Forest, Ank, Mill Forest, and all the way to Kalinshan's Port. Then they will go north along the Great Trade Highway until they reach the Elves' Courts to the west of the High Forest.
The entire mission route is like a huge horseshoe, almost surrounding half of the Feren continent, with a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers. After the mission, they will pass through the Deep Water City and cross the Sea of No Traces. Yongju Island is their end."
"This is... it's really a great journey!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light and asked with a smile, "Then they should encounter a lot of dangers and difficulties, right?"
"Well, let's not mention the human kingdom along the way. Even some elves seem to be possible to prevent them from completing this mission." Ilistin said helplessly, "I won't talk about the elves that have lost the ancient heritage. Those elves with inheritance naturally do not want their arrival, which will affect the stability of the kingdom."
Ilisten suddenly said with a mysterious look on his face, "I heard from some tribe elders that the Japanese elves' Ancient Road Storm may also have the participation of two major organizations, Harpist and Santalin Society."
Qin Lun glanced at the death list, suppressed his inquiries from Ilistin about the harpist and the Santalin Society, and asked with a smile: "If the Japanese Elf Envoys seek help from the Magic Cup Court, will King Testir provide them with help?"
"I didn't know, now... I don't know!" Yilistin frowned and sighed. Qin Lun's question completely lost her interest in continuing to talk.
