Warhammer Throne

Chapter 18: , Elves, dwarves, humans

When Ryan came to this world, he discovered that the world also had a fantasy iron triangle, elves, dwarves, and humans.

However, the relationship between these three is different from the novels such as "The Lord of the Rings" read by Ryan.

Elves, the darling of heaven and earth, they are born with a strong affinity for magic, any elves can easily serve as wizards and other professions, they are handsome, they are powerful, elves have created an extremely brilliant cosmic civilization thousands of years ago At that time, their cities were moving in the void of the universe, and their splendid civilization bloomed among the stars.

However, when civilization reaches its peak, it is accompanied by relaxation and indulge in enjoyment, and even extreme death. When the elves indulge in the worship of all things in the void, disasters also occur. Some elves Actually focusing on the power of the gods, they fought against the gods in the void, followed by civil strife, and the terrible civil war swept all the elven civilizations.

At the same time, according to some dark historical records, one of the four chaotic gods was conceived and appeared in the civil strife.

Hundreds of years later, the brilliant civilization of the elves turned into ruins and bubbles. Under the pressure of huge civil strife and the deities, the elves lost 99% of the population, and the level of magic and science and technology has regressed thousands of years ago. The remaining old, weak, sick and disabled had no choice but to make their homes on the mainland, that is, at that time, the last group of elves came into contact with humans and taught them magic.

The dwarves come from the mountains. They are known as the people of the earth. The dwarves don’t understand magic but they are technologically advanced. They are irritable, extremely vengeful and have no compassion. As the aboriginals of this world, they are between them and the elves. After a conflict broke out, the two races were thus embroiled in the flames of war. The elves, who were already extremely weak, were hit again, but the glorious civilization of the past was still there. After thousands of years of war, the dwarves were beaten back and forth. When he was driven into the depths of the mountains, seeing that he was about to be extinct by the elves, the dwarf supreme king Kazadni-Ironside had to send a messenger to a nearby human tribe for help.

The luck of the dwarves, the misfortune of the elves, because the human tribe’s name is Carolingian, and the chief’s name is Charlemagne.

In the past, the relationship between dwarves and humans was not good, but Charlemagne still decided to support the dwarves against all opinions. He personally led the human warriors to set off, over the mountains, and suddenly appeared behind the elven army and launched an attack.

Do humans have an army of elves good at fighting? That is impossible. The elven army has a glorious cultural background, and it is much better than humans in terms of tactics and formation.

Do humans have elven troops equipped? It was also impossible. At that time, human beings could only make superficial manufacturing techniques and make simple weapons.

However, the bloodliness and bravery displayed by the human army deeply shook the elves. The elves who were used to master warfare and step-by-step positional warfare faced the army that suddenly appeared from behind. The demoralized elven army was in a mess. The front-line commander was killed by Charlemagne and chopped his head in a few strokes. The dwarf saw it, and the elven army was wiped out.

After this battle, humans and dwarves forged the most sacred covenant. Charlemagne and Kazzadni agreed that when the dwarves need help, the humans will be obliged to lend a helping hand, and when the humans are facing difficulties, the dwarves will also Go all out.

This agreement is called the "Holy Alliance" and is still in effect today.

Under the combination of the dwarf's high technology and the powerful human learning ability, Charlemagne led his army to sweep the world.

Two hundred years later, the last formed elven army on the continent was defeated by a coalition of humans and dwarves. The eternal king of elves also died in that battle. The elves had to negotiate with the humans, and most of the elves chose to withdraw from the continent. , Went to the island to recuperate, they called themselves high elves.

Later, the dark elves split from the high elves.

There is also a small group of elves who choose to stay in the forests on the mainland to live in seclusion. They call themselves wood elves.

The San Lorenzo Forest is the main settlement of the wood elves.

The wood elves have nothing to do with the world. The only thing they care about is their forest. There are only a few cases that will cause the wood elves to leave the forest, but Ester is not, he is a half-elf.

This race of half-elves is a beautiful accident.

As we all know, there is no reproductive isolation between humans and elves. Although most elves live in forests or islands, occasionally some elves will travel to the mainland or settle in human settlements. Elves are fascinated by humans. Human beings are attracted by the grace of elves, so the two occasionally marry. For elves, this type of marriage is short-lived because of the shortness of human life. However, they left behind children, which are half-elf children.

It is difficult for half-elves to live in the elven society because they are too precocious, and they will feel out of place in the elven society. On the other hand, if they live in the human society, the half-elves will appear to grow slowly. Half-elves live in human society, because human society is more tolerant and easy to have a sense of identity. There are also a few half-elves who choose to live in a place where only half-elves live. Ryan has heard that there is a free city state in the south of the mainland. The city dedicated to half-elves is called Twilight City.

Due to their unique status, half-elves and various races are doing well. Humans, dwarves, halflings, and so on can become friends of half-elves. They just hate half-orcs, but the latter has been basically extinct on the mainland.

"Looking forward to Mr. Lane's name for a long time, I've been hearing news of your activeness at Nord for a few years." The half-elves that came up were a long list of flattery, but Lane didn't eat this set: "What can I say straightforwardly? Right, Mr. Estelle."

The smile on the half-elf's face stagnated.

The excellent appearance brought about by his descent has always been his capital for both sides in human society.

"Please tell me directly, Mr. Half-elf." Teresa also reminded her. I don't know why, but the female warlock always feels that this person's appearance is a bit in the way.

"Yes, please tell me directly, Mr. Ester, our knight prefers the direct way. If you have any request, you can tell me directly. I have something to do next." Ryan didn't bother to grind with him.

"That’s it, Mr. Lane, I’m employed by the imperial merchant Matz. Mr. Matz’s caravan is now trapped in this town. We want to set off early to Mjordenhaven to find a chance to go to sea, but we can’t see you. To Mr. Lord, I heard that Mr. Lane and Mr. Willard are acquainted with each other, can you recommend us?" Estelle felt that Lane was not joking, so he directly said his intentions.

The half-elf's tone is soft and full of elegance, and the handsome face is easy to make people feel like spring breeze.

"Recommendation..." Ryan touched his chin, lost in thought.

According to the news from Oliver yesterday, as the half-elves said, several caravans are now trapped in Karzen Haven. Due to the large-scale deployment of troops by the northern barbarians and the infestation of sea monsters, the port of Karzen Haven must not be able to go to sea in a short time. , And so on, the road to the north will definitely not work.

The choice left to the merchants was Millodenhaven, the largest port in the Nord Kingdom in the south.

But the road from Kalzenhaven to Milldenhaven is not safe. There are two mountains in the middle, Hordaland and Scarvell. The mountains are full of dangers. This has already been said.

If Ryan is not wrong, the merchants may want to spend money to ask Villard to send troops to protect them.

The half-elf saw the kingdom knight frowning. Estelle thought that Ryan was suggesting something, so his tone slowed down, and he even despised: "Don't worry, Mr. Ryan, there must be a reward afterwards."

"I didn't mean that." Ryan raised his hand to indicate that he didn't mean that. He could not deliberately take advantage of two bad money.

He was thinking about going with him, because he and Theresa might also go to Millaudon Haven.

Teresa leaned on the staff and stood beside Ryan. She had no friendship with Verald and didn't want to intervene in this matter. I don't know why, the identity of a spellcaster who has always been very popular has nothing to Verald. use.

"There is a banquet in the evening." Ryan said slowly after a while.

"banquet?"

"Yes, at 6:30 in the evening, Lord Villard will hold a banquet at his home. My suggestion is that if Mr. Matz intends to contact the Lord Lord, then find a way to participate in this banquet, which may be an ideal result. "Ryan said: "Because of some things, it is not convenient for me to come forward directly, but I can tell you that if there is no accident, I plan to go south, so keep in touch."

"I will truthfully convey it to Mr. Matz." Ryan may also have to go south. This is the best news Ester has heard in the past two days. Even so, the half-elf still maintains his gentle attitude, his hands He hugged his chest, raised his chin, signaled that he knew it, and then bowed.

After speaking, the half-elf didn't say hello, so he left directly.

"Let's go to the dock and have a look." Ryan shrugged and smiled at Teresa: "What a handsome half-elf, isn't it?"

"Well, indeed, his attitude is a bit arrogant, but it's not very offensive." The sorcerer held a staff to keep up, although the half-elf's attitude was slightly arrogant and distanced, but it really made people not repulsive. On the contrary, there is a feeling that this kind of people get along like this.

"This is half-elf's racial talent. Half-elves are born with a kind of aura that makes people close. This power comes from their elven blood, and their human blood is easy to get our approval, so even though he is a little arrogant , But it is not easy for us to feel disgusted." Ryan nodded.

This is the racial talent of half-elves. These mixed races are born with a high charisma bonus, so they can often walk among the major forces and act as messengers. They come from both sides, handsome and beautiful appearance, and mature and elegant etiquette. They are very popular in high society banquets and courts.

Half elves are not like real elves. High elves regard humans as "uncivilized monkeys". At best, half elves will only feel that their blood is noble and speak a little arrogantly. This is nothing to humans, because of the class. The chain of contempt between time is far more arrogant than the half-elf's.

"Yes, many nobles like to have a half-elf lover, and the end is that when they are old, the half-elf is still very young." Teresa also knows many such things, and the Garland Councillors always haunt them. Between various banquets in the upper class.

Half-elves can live from 180 to 250 years old even if they are of ordinary rank, which is far better than the short-lived species such as humans.

"But it seems that you seem indifferent to his high charm?" the sorcerer said curiously.

"That's because..." Ryan deliberately sold it off.

"Because?"

"First of all, I don't like men, and then... With such a beautiful lady by my side, how could I be confused by an ordinary half-elf?" The kingdom knight turned his eyes on the beautiful face of the female warlock , In the mid-winter season, the female warlock's glamorous face did not fade in the slightest, the skin was like fat, bright eyes and bright teeth, peach smile and Li Yan.

The woman didn't speak, but the corners of her mouth and blinking eyes exposed her mood.

"Of course, after all, I am not interested in men, everything else is not important." Ryan added at last, and the female warlock's face immediately sank: "The last sentence you said in your heart is also okay."

"Honesty is one of the eight virtues of the knight, dear Teresa."

"It's not a gentleman's job to make a lady sad."

"Ha, whether I am a knight or a gentleman is not changed according to your needs. The knight is my bone and the gentleman is my flesh and blood. The two are inseparable, but there is a choice. Are you right?"

"Tsk tusk tusk, a knight who likes sophistry?"

"A warlock who likes to chatter?"

The journey quickly reached the end in the words of the two people, and the two arrived at the port terminal of Karzen Haven.

In the mid-winter season, Ryan saw a white sea and blue sky. Unless the temperature in this world is extremely cold, otherwise under the blessing of the **** of the sea, the sea will rarely be frozen. On the port and wharf, there are a large number of fishing boats and A small number of various passenger ships, merchant ships moored in the port, fishermen, sailors, guards and tax officers on the pier came and went, and when someone came, everyone came up, the sailors and pier workers in shabby clothes thought We need to see if we can receive a new job assignment. Some of them wear simple singles in cold weather and carry the livelihood of a family through their hard work.

Many of the people were dirty, their beards were clumped, and their hair was just casually tied up. Seeing them swarming up, the female warlock subconsciously took a half step back, and Ryan simply moved forward half a step to protect Teresa behind him.

After seeing the knight badge on Ryan's chest, everyone retreated subconsciously, and only one person who looked like the leader came up: "Excuse me, Lord Knight, do you have any work for us to pick it up?"

After the ports on the mainland have experienced thousands of years or more of development, the sailors of the docks have begun to appear as contractors, which has made Ryan a lot more convenient.

He asked in detail about the visitor's situation that night. When the crowd saw that there was no work to do, they scattered around. Only the foreman answered the question: "Yes, my lord, there was indeed such a person who came to this pier the day before yesterday. Your lord, you said he was wearing a set of outdated clothes, but it was a little different. I remember that man was wearing a face towel instead of a high-top round hat, but a wide-brimmed round hat."

"Then what?"

"He told us that he was very anxious. He had a relative in Marienburg and was seriously ill. He was anxious to rush back, so he immediately asked for a fast boat. It was already very late at that time. The bosses of the boats on the pier were not willing to go to sea. And we all felt something was wrong. Although the man said something urgent, he didn't seem to be anxious at all. I always felt that he seemed to be laughing, as if... very excited." The foreman said strangely.

"very excited?"

"Well, but you know, Sir Cavaliers, we are all vulgar people, don’t understand this, the Clippers from here to Marienburg usually cost three to five gold dinars. He asked the price at the time. Several ship bosses took the opportunity to offer ten gold dinars, but do you know what happened? That weird guy actually took out fifteen gold dinars, picked the best and fastest clipper, and left the port like this ."

Are you in a hurry? Ryan and Teresa looked at each other, and already had an answer in their hearts.

"What else... what sound?!" Ryan was waiting to ask more. At this time, a faint rhythm sounded from the ground.

"What sound is this?" Teresa also felt it right away. At this time, some experienced fishermen and sailors also realized that something was wrong. The residence barked.

"This is... not good!" Ryan subconsciously looked at the place where the strange sound was.

What he saw was a rough sea, and countless shadows under the sea were shaking.

"Theresa, step back!" Ryan immediately signaled the female warlock to step back, her body has not recovered yet.

"Ready to fight! Ready to fight!"

"As a white wolf knight, I order all the guards on the dock to follow orders!"

"Array! The archer is in front and the swordsman is behind, ready to meet the enemy!"
