ELF (elf)
The Elf that appear in many fantasy works and RPG games are very similar to humans. They have pointed ears and are a beautiful and long-lived race. They generally live in the forest (dark elves live underground). They love nature, have delicate emotions, and have melodious voices. They are natural poets and dancers. Their vision is twice that of humans in dim conditions, so they have mastered superb archery. Skills; extensive knowledge and high talent for magic.
Elves generally live to be over 700 years old, which is why they always take their time. Elves are always willing to spend a lot of time on things that humans cannot understand: listening to the gurgling water, the birds chirping in the forest, and the wind blowing... For elves, the meaning of life is to slowly discover beautiful places and fully enjoy them.
It is also difficult for them to establish deep friendships with short-lived races. It is really painful to see their friends die while they still have a lot of life to spend.
In addition, in the settings of fantasy works, elves often do not deal with dwarves. Although both have long and long lives, the dwarves with their bold attitude towards life are the objects of disdain for the elves, while the dwarves think that The elves are too hypocritical.
But for such an elegant and pure race, why do they need to dress up as women when passing through their territory?
Gaia was completely unable to understand the meaning of Dora's words, and even began to conjure up images of "humanity" life in the previous era in her mind.
Well, even in modern times, it is said that humans are actually more elven. They still give Gaia a sense of elegance and calmness, which is completely different from the hurried life of real humans.
Seeing the ever-changing expression on Gaia's face, Dora also realized that she had forgotten to tell Gaia about the situation of the elves, so she coughed twice to make Gaia react and look at her with suspicion:
"Ahem! Let me answer it. It is said that the race of elves was created by the mother goddess Alder in ancient times long before the sun and moon awakened, and gave them eternal beauty and gorgeous singing voices. Their starlight in the Far East Wake up, wander around, and gradually create language.
Elves are tall, smart, beautiful, elegant, and have keen eyesight. They are best at poetry, literature and music, and are also the most powerful archers in the world. They are immortal and invincible, and only a blade of black iron or extreme grief can kill an elf.
Of course, this is a bit too mythical. In fact, although elves live long, three thousand years is the limit. In addition, the means that can kill humans can also kill elves.
Well, this does not exclude the possibility that the elves themselves have declined to a certain extent due to modern magic chaos.
All in all, elves, as the only intelligent race in the last era, still survived after the previous civilization was destroyed for unknown reasons, but they lost the relevant inheritance.
What is even more frightening is that as time goes by, the creatures in this world have gradually evolved a trend that is unacceptable to the elves due to the chaos of magic. That is, the more powerful the race, the more difficult it is to have children.
The powerful elves degenerated, and some evolved into modern humans, sacrificing their average individual quality in exchange for strong fertility; some evolved into highland dwarves, whose average quality was higher than that of humans, but their fertility was only acceptable.
As for the original elves, due to the decline in fertility and long lifespan, only women gradually survived, and they evolved the ability to reproduce with men of any race, and the children they gave birth to would definitely be female elves.
In order to ensure the survival of the Elf Empire, the elves will send hunting teams to various countries every year to kidnap men. They will not let them go until they successfully get themselves pregnant. Although the men who are let go are not responsible for their children, they are not responsible for their children. Living in oppression and fear for a long time, as well as physical fatigue, often caused them to almost collapse after being released.
As a result, elves have become recognized as the public enemies of men in the world.
but--"
Having said this, Dora shrugged helplessly and lifted her hair to reveal her ears which were not as long as elves, but not short either:
"There will always be races that are not afraid of death. One is the dragon race. They are also a powerful race that survived from the last era. However, it is said that they used to be the means of transportation for the elves, so the relationship with the elves was not good at the beginning. It was not until later that they were able to have children. dropped significantly, they had to turn to the elves for help to ensure the spread of the dragon bloodline.
Because they are the only two races that have survived from previous civilizations, the children of dragons and elves will retain the characteristics of both. Although their strength has declined and their life span is not that long, their fertility has increased a lot, and I am already a grandmother. . "
"Wait?!"
Looking at Dora, who looked fourteen or fifteen years old in front of her, Gaia's face turned green:
"Are you serious? Who did this to you? Are you still shameless?"
Dora herself didn't care and simply shrugged:
"You can't trust your appearance. I'm already hundreds of years old, and Miramichi is hundreds of thousands of years old. Besides, my husband passed away more than a hundred years ago, so it doesn't matter if I'm shameless."
Gaia still couldn't accept Dora's words for a while, so she had to wave her hand and let her continue:
"What other special circumstances are there?"
Regarding the second situation, Dora couldn't help but stretched out her paw and tapped the table gently, and said with an unhappy look:
"That's the human noble women. They like to admire the beautiful appearance of the elves, and they also like the moans of the elves that are so moving even when they are tortured.
Moreover, they cruelly cut off the ears of the elves who were slaves, so that even if they were rescued in the future, they would choose to end their lives because their glorious ears as elves were damaged, so as to avoid exposing their crimes.
But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and this kind of thing will always be exposed.
Therefore, until more than ten years ago, humans' multi-racial slave-catching teams were notorious. There were even rumors that elves, dwarves, dragons and even demi-humans planned to join forces to exterminate humans like goblins.
Well, fortunately, King Arthur ascended the throne more than ten years ago and abolished slavery, which eased the relationship between humans and other races. "
Slave catching team...
I remembered that Shamis and Rayas had said before that they met decades ago because of bad fate, and then I thought of Rayas' identity as a goblin...
Something’s not right. If that’s the case, could it be that Shamis is also...
Seeing the flash of doubt on Gaia's face, Penke answered in the affirmative:
"Mr. Gaia, are you thinking about Miss Shamis? Yes, she was also an elf who was captured by humans. Although she did not choose to commit suicide after being rescued, her whole person became decadent, which is really regrettable. .
It was also during her time as a slave that she met Miss Rayas, who was also a slave's plaything and is now the president. "
