In the understanding of most Terran people, the Cangtian Royal Court and Canaan Moore have been feuding since ancient times. The hatred between the two parties has been forged since the Lost Era when they were scattered khanates and tribes. When both sides unified into a huge alliance and royal court, there was still no reconciliation.

Elves and demi-humans seem to have a natural hatred for each other, and they will take a sip when they see each other.

For the record, this is not an illusion.

Under the eloquent narration of Master Glave Feiye, a true elf scholar, Ian finally understood the overly long feud between Canaan Moore and the Cangtian Royal Court.

A long, long time ago, the elves did not even have a written history, and the Zhuya tribe did not have a real great khan. When there were twenty or thirty khanates of different sizes competing for hegemony in the vast plains of the world, one day A great general with outstanding talents, both martial arts and civil administration was born.

He was the youngest son of the leader of the White Wolf tribe at that time, and later known as Ximer Khan (the one who ruled the vast and boundless world) and the founder of the royal court, Ximore Brad.

Brad's parents died when he was young, his clan was wiped out, and he was captured by the enemy as a slave. However, with his incredible talent, he was able to recover the secrets of physical exercise just by observing the daily movements and exercises of the enemy's sublimators. , and risked their lives to collect potion materials. After becoming an ascendant, he gathered a group of slaves and went out independently while the two wars were going on.

Next, Brad won every battle along the way, and even because of a huge rainstorm, he unearthed the core power center and flagship of the "Mobile Royal Court", the capital of the Cangtian Royal Court, from the underground ancient ruins in the Suyue Great Plains. The mobile ship skeleton of the Zhengtian (when speaking of this, Master Grave also frowned slightly and muttered something about fate, obviously feeling that the Great Khan's luck was really good).

Finally, in the fifteenth year after Brad became an independent tribe, he conquered the two core plains of Suyue and Zhuxing, became the fifth-level 'God's Punishment Blade', and ascended the throne beside the Songnadar River. Khan, established the Cangtian Royal Court.

It sounds like they are nothing more than outrageous and unbelievable legends (kai) and strange (gua) stories about the King of Kai, which are common in every country, and they don't seem to have anything to do with elves.

But the excitement is here.

When the Great Khan of Cangtian passed away, what he left behind was an almost unified Cangtian Great Plains, a demi-human union that had just established some rules, a dozen of his children who were all elite soldiers and generals, and a lot of Foreign mercenaries.

Which of course includes elves.

At that time, the elves were very similar to the demi-humans, except that there was no great khan in Canaan Moore. The ten king-blood tribes were about to beat each other's brains out, and the killing was so cruel that even the ogres would scream. The elf mercenaries, who are a wonderful appetizer, believe in contracts, and have exquisite killing skills, are naturally the favorite of the Great Khan, who employs eclectic people. He even has an entire elf guard under his command.

In fact, to this day, there are still nomadic tribes composed mainly of elves within the royal court.

After the death of the Great Khan, his children would naturally start fighting a civil war in order to compete for the position of Khan, and the elite guard "Qixue Iron Cavalry" originally left by the Khan also split due to the divisions among the descendants of the Khan. After all, the Qixue Army was originally composed of the direct bloodline of the leaders of each tribe and the most elite members of the tribe. Without a khan to wield his whip, of course they would have their own ideas.

In order to have more power than other brothers and sisters, each of the Khan's descendants is trying their best to find reinforcements from various tribes and even other alien races.

Someone invited tree people, so there is now a rather strange tribe of "tree shepherds" in the south of the royal court. Someone invited goblins, so a group of goblins could often be seen in the north of the royal court, driving sheep on large fluttering moths, whistling across the vast wilderness. Someone invited Warcraft, so to this day, the intelligent Warcraft race still has a place in the royal court meeting.

As we all know, the Cangtian Great Plains is a land of freedom. If it weren't for the ogres, it would be impossible to coexist with other tribes. Otherwise, there would really be alien tribes within the royal court.

And the final winner was the bloodline of Khans that has been passed down to this day. The victor of that great civil war was Zhuxing Khan. The reinforcements he invited...

"It's the elf."

Master Gravi said: "In the war between the Khans, when every descendant of the Great Khan was trying every means to win over the support of the subhumans in the Great Plains, Khan Star Chaser understood that such internal friction would not work, no matter how much competition there was. It is nothing more than a zero-sum game, and we must increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Of course, I personally think that this is because Zhuxing Khan’s mother is an ordinary deer man, and many demi-human tribes look down on Zhuxing Khan’s bloodline, so they forced him to seek foreign aid."

"In short, Star Chaser Khan personally came to Canaan Moore and signed the 'Iron Tree Alliance' in Naian Hanging Valley. Seven of the ten king-blood tribes of the elves sent reinforcements, and the other three tribes also provided supplies. Thirteen The two great feuds of River Basin and Shower Rain Wetland have temporarily put aside their hatred because of this big business."

"With the ferocious Canaanite Moorish blood army (the elves at that time wore red clothes to show their bravery), they made a bold northern expedition and swept across the grassland. Star-Chasing Khan finally succeeded in becoming the Khan of Heaven, and the elves also received extremely generous benefits. As a reward, in addition to the promised treasures and inheritance, the five elven generals were rewarded with large tracts of pasture and left their men in the Cangtian Plain, which is the origin of the elven area in the Cangtian Royal Court today. Of course, these elves have long been with Jia. It doesn’t matter about Nanmoor, they kill the elves more cruelly than the humans.”

"Even now, half of the Imperial Guards' Blood Cavalry Guards in the Royal Court's Iron Cavalry are elves. Back then, it was the elven generals who gathered together to help Zhuxing Khan reorganize a forbidden army after the Qixue Army dissipated. Guards."

——Oh, what about Elf Princes and Elf Guards? Will it happen now that 'I, the Cangtian Royal Court, are of course the princes of elves and Khans who rule the world together, what does it have to do with you demi-humans? ’, and then sell a large number of demi-humans as slaves to the elves, right?

Hearing this, Ian's heart was filled with a sense of déjà vu. In his mind, the Cangtian Royal Court was originally a gathering place for demi-humans, but now it has completely become a chaotic place where a bunch of monsters and monsters gather... Shen Temu Shepherd , can tree people still herd animals? There are also leprechauns riding moths to herd sheep. Oh my god, these little guys are everywhere!

Not to mention the Elf Prince. I originally thought that the two countries were just having ordinary geographical friction, but I didn’t expect that there was friction. It was such a friction that penetrated into each other’s bones?

Although the history of the two worlds of Terra and Earth is indeed different, as long as they are intelligent life, they do have some similarities - bringing foreign barbarian reinforcements to beat the country's forces until they cry for father and mother is so classic that it can be found in almost any version. , is simply a delicacy that you have to taste when reading history.

"Then what?" the young man asked with interest: "I probably understand the origin of the relationship between Cangtian Royal Court and Canaan Moore...but this has nothing to do with Canaan Moore's political system, right?"

"There is a direct relationship."

Master Grave waved his hand: "Because next, the five elves will invite Khan's heavenly soldiers to go all the way south into the capital of World Tree and force the Elf King to abdicate."

Ian: "?"

This is actually not a very strange thing.

After the War of the Khans ended and Star Chaser Khan ascended the throne as Heavenly Khan, the elven tribes of Canaan Moore also stopped for a period of time. After all, after so many years of conquering east and west, even if people don't want to rest, the population must rest, and the elves have to rest. It's not leeks, they grow very slowly once you cut them.

But decades later, with the support of a large amount of wealth and resources, the elven tribes headed by the ten king-blooded tribes once again started a civil war.

But this time, due to the different distribution and sufficient resource supply, there is a clear gap in strength between the ten blood kings.

With their overwhelming superior strength at that time, the Fertile Tribe formed an alliance with the four tribes including Jin Deng, Silver Gate, Vine Corridor, and Qingye, forming the prototype of the Canaan Moorish Kingdom. They repelled the creeping branches, bone roots, and blood pillars. The five divisions, Dynamic Core, and National Territory, occupied the capital of World Tree, which was ruled by the blood of ten kings at that time, and Minar Fertile Earth would be crowned as the first Elf King.

In a sense, this is exactly the same as the birth of the Great Khan of Cangtian... The only difference is that when the Great Khan was born, Canaan Moor had not yet been unified, but when the Elf King was born, the Cangtian Royal Court had already been unified. .

The five tribes who were expelled from the Capital of the World Tree paid a huge price and asked the Elf Lord in the royal court to persuade the Great Khan at that time. An elite royal guard, led by the five pillars of the joint army, defeated the Elf King's army all the way to the point where they even forced the Elf King to abdicate and serve for only a short period of time. The King of One Hundred and Three Days.

Of course, maintaining the five branches did not give the other party an advantage. The five pillars were also crippled. In the end, everyone could only have peace talks in the capital of the world tree to discuss the affairs of the elves.

Since then, the elves have never had a chance to unify. The twisted competition among the ten king-blooded tribes continues to this day, but it has changed from the bloody battles in naming to Fertile Soil, Ember Lantern, Silver Gate, Partisan struggles and political assassinations between the 'maintaining party' formed by the five departments of Ivy and Aoba and the 'pillar party' composed of the five departments of Manzhi, Bone Root, Blood Pillar, Dynamic Core, and National Territory.

The extremely complex hatred between Canaan Moore and the Cangtian Royal Court was settled at that time.

——He was obviously a demi-human khan, but he led the Canaanite Moorish blood army to slaughter wildly in the great plains. The green grasslands they killed were all scarlet. It was simply a royal traitor! Damn elves are also a bunch of butchers!

--ha? How dare these fratricidal elven executioners hate us? If we hadn't helped this group of elves push back the bloody Elf King, their elves would have killed themselves long ago, okay?

——Obviously they are the elves of Canaan Moor, but they asked Khan’s reinforcements to force back our elves’ own king. This is simply an elf traitor! The damn Wang Ting people are not good people either!

--What? Those demi-human bastards still dare to say something bad about us? If we, the Elf Rebel Army, hadn't helped Star Chaser Khan repel all the rebels, your royal court might still be split into more than a dozen pieces now!

Both felt that the other was abhorrent, and each felt that they were each other's great benefactors in history. The two sides later broke out several wars. One of them was when a certain Great Khan of Heaven completely unified the three plains and sent his troops south to invade Canaan. Moore wanted to completely turn the Shower Rain Wetland into his own back garden, but as a result, the heads of people killed by the elves were rolling, and even blood rained down from the sky.

Of course, there were scandals in the royal court, and there was also the fact that the royal court, which was exhausted from the Northern Expedition in order to consolidate the country at the beginning of the founding of the Canaanite Moorish Federation, was beaten by a group of elven princes and demi-human cavalry, and had no choice but to retreat to the Hanging Valley. Such a farce as the fortress...

In this process, the "pro-Cangtian Royal Court" gradually emerged within the elves, the friendly faction committed to restoring normal diplomatic relations with the Cangtian Royal Court, and the "self-strengthening faction" who also supported the restoration of normal diplomatic relations, but only ordinary diplomacy. .

"This is why the political system in Canaan Moore is as complicated as it is now."

After Master Grave finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh deeply and touched his beard: "These are all issues left over from history."

"It's really complicated." Ian nodded with deep sympathy: "It's too complicated."

——Isn’t it? This story started a thousand years ago. It’s really a long time.

The history of Terra is really bizarre, but since it's Terra, it's not surprising.

The political party issue within the elves is essentially the hatred between the ten king-blood tribes. The 'maintenance party' clearly had a chance to unify the elves, but it was destroyed by the 'pillar party'. Even though there was a slight reconciliation later, it still remains. Fight each other.

Master Glawei is a member of the Feiye family, and whether it is Feiye, Huiye behind the Purple Maple Knight, or even Linye, the elf pirate Andor Linye he knows, is part of the King's Blood Tribe A branch collateral line of 'Qingye'. In fact, all the tribes of the elves are separated by the ten king bloods, which is why the hatred between the king blood tribes can be equal to the hatred within the entire elves.

"So the person who assassinated you, Master, is from the Pillar Party?"

After thinking about it, Ian put his hand on the side of the ship and turned his head to ask the old elf: "The Pillar Party does not want you to return to the family with the research results, so it wants to keep you out of Canaan Moore."

"……No."

Master Grave was silent for a moment, and then slowly shook his head: "I think it should be to maintain the party."

"Huh?"

Ian couldn't help but feel nervous. He raised his head in confusion: "But aren't you just..."

"The tribe behind me does maintain the party. But my research...may not be the field that the party needs."

Master Grave looked sadly to the north, where there was only a dark cloud, but he seemed to be able to see a towering giant city: "I don't need to hide it from you, Ian, you know that there is currently a process going on inside the Cangtian Royal Court. What kind of reform is this?"

"have no idea."

Ian said slowly, with a sudden movement in his heart, he vaguely understood that what he was going to hear next might be the real secret that only top researchers from various countries could know: "Master, please tell me."

"The great fusion of bloodlines."

The old man spoke concisely and concisely, but he felt that the term might be a bit ambiguous, so he chose a more academic term: "cross-species hybridization."

Unlike the Empire and Canaan Moore, which have extremely complex but relatively balanced political systems, everything within the Cangtian Royal Court is based on strength and convenience. As long as you unite under the banner of the Great Khan, it doesn't matter what race you are. He ascended the throne and became the general of Shangzhu Kingdom.

But even if our Great Cang Tian Royal Court is so inclusive and racially equal, there is no way to truly achieve racial equality. Apart from anything else, even if the Sheep and Deer people can produce a few heroes, how can they compare to the ligers, tigers, elephants and bears? The ridiculous physical fitness of the Zhiya people? Not to mention those Longya people, all of them look slender, but in fact they are all made of steel and iron and are stronger than Warcraft. They are simply born sublimators.

Coupled with the hundreds of completely different subhuman groups, large and small, how difficult can it be to manage them? Therefore, starting from the era of several Great Khans, the Cangtian Royal Court has been researching the technology of bloodline fusion.

"They want to integrate the power of all the demi-humans in the entire Cangtian Royal Court, the four major human races, the elves, dwarves, and even the treants, elves, monsters, and dragons to create a brand new 'celestial being'."

Master Grave said to Ian in a low voice: "This is the news that the Gnostic Academy got from Jinghaiwei, and Jinghaiwei got the news from the spies of the Cangtian Royal Court. Although the source has been passed down a few times, , but it is still very reliable. This is the bloodline fusion plan that Cangtian Royal Court has been promoting."

"Of course, the ultimate goal is wonderful, but the practical problems are huge...especially the first step in the blood fusion of the Cangtian Royal Court, which is to establish an unbreakable Blood Royal Court to govern all demi-humans and other races. And carry out extremely strict genetic selection within it...The treatment of inferior genes and high-quality genes is very different, the former will be consumed by various means, while the latter will be driven to reproduce offspring."

"In Canaan Moore, as far as I know, the Maintenance Party and the Pillar Party also have two plans. Among them, the Pillar Party's plan is similar to that of the Heavenly Court. They want to use advanced biological eugenics and alchemy to conduct a rejuvenation on the elves. Comprehensive bloodline improvements make elves closer to the legendary elf form...that is, an immortal, smart, intelligent, and flawless elf."

"As for maintaining the party... the purpose is similar, but I'm not sure about the means, because the plan to maintain the party was made after I left for the empire, but it certainly doesn't have much in common with my research."

Having said this, Master Gravi sighed: "My mentor was once a member of the Elf Bloodline Improvement Project and received support from the Pillar Party, and I inherited his legacy. What you call becoming a clan is what I have in mind. , is the basis of the 'Future Elves' contract."

"As long as there is the power of the Ladder of Life Tree as the foundation, then no matter how the elves are transformed, they can be fully carried."

"No wonder the Sustaining Party wants to get rid of you."

Ian nodded slightly. The intertwining of camps and purposes within the elves was quite complex. What Master Gravi was involved in was essentially a struggle for the future national policy of Canaan Moore. No wonder just a little aftermath can make the Siren weigh as much as Class diplomatic ships all encountered accidents.

"How do you feel after hearing so much?"

Turning his head, Ian patted Xio on the shoulder who was happily eating ice cream. The dragon girl raised her head in confusion, glanced at Ian, and then at the expressionless Master Grave: "Huh?"

"It's okay." Ian sighed. It seemed that Xiou's political literacy couldn't be counted on: "Just take what you have."

"Okay!" Xio continued to lick with great interest.

"How could a real dragon care about such a thing?" Master Glawei sighed: "All our plans are to get closer to the power of the real dragon... If everyone can become a dragon, who needs eternal elves and heavenly beings? Humans, any artificial psykers... can become a dragon, which is the highest achievement of life."

"That's not wrong."

Ian thought for a while, if he were a dragon, it would be much easier to achieve his goal. Apart from anything else, there is no need for any potion materials. As he grows up naturally, he will definitely be fifth if he works hard and learns. Energy level, he can live for five hundred years... Wow, why is he in such a hurry? He just retreated to his hometown and went out for a while.

However, thinking of Master Grave's last words, he asked with great interest: "What about the empire's plan? Both the Cangtian Royal Court and Canaan Moore have such big plans. Is the empire artificial psykers?"

"Only part of it."

Master Grave nodded, confirming Ian's guess.

He is indeed a cutting-edge researcher in the world, but he cannot gain the complete trust of the empire, so he can only tell what he knows: "The empire has never pursued the ultimate 'physical bloodline', and the Academy of Spiritual Knowledge and the Academy of Truth are respectively conducting The coordination of the soul and the body and the study of the most suitable thinking mode and physical form of the Sefirot..."

"That is the work of other research groups. I am only responsible for one of the projects." The old man shrugged: "All the alchemy masters in the empire have projects to participate in this research, more or less."

"Um."

Ian nodded slightly, and he thought of Master Gosei...Master Gosei and Isengard, the bloodline of his friend, and the soul issues related to the echo...That may be the 'topic' in Master Gosei's hands, and It has something to do with the empire's plans in this regard.

From this point of view, the empire has never fallen behind in this regard.

"Issengard is also in Canaan Moor now... I can contact you when we get to the shore." He raised his head and looked to the north with Master Glawei: "Now it seems that what is happening in Canaan Moor is far away. Far more than just a 'xenogeneic institute'."

"There are more and more interesting things." Ian smiled: "It seems that this trip to Canaan Moore will be very interesting."

In the afternoon of May 30, Terra 774, the Canaanite Moor diplomatic ship Siren and its affiliated fleet were attacked by a swarm of monsters from the Sea of ​​Eternity. With the help of passengers Ian Silverfeng and Passenger Glaive Feiye, the Siren was The Ren successfully escaped the siege of the Warcraft clan and received support from the First Fleet of the Everlasting Ocean.

But even so, the Siren was still damaged in many places, with three of the five propellers damaged, and all storage blocks 16 to 19 were destroyed. Captain Elden connected his ether weapon to the Siren as additional power. source, allowing ships to sail quickly again.

This incident alarmed the Canaanite Moorish Federation and the Setar Empire. Both parties jointly implicated the terrorist organization that may have caused the attack, and mobilized their respective special forces to track it. No results have been obtained so far.

On June 2, Terra 774, the Siren approached the offshore waters of Canaan Moore and was about to arrive at the "Black Current Port", an important southern port of Canaan Moore.

On the same day, the Speaker of the Elf Great Council, Japheta Silver Gate, also came to Blackstream Port.

Let me share some personal experience: If your nose is blocked, it will be very useful to pour some cooling oil and wind oil essence directly into it.

It's very painful and cold, but you can breathe smoothly. Readers can make a choice!

Of course there are medicines, and they really work (sentiment)
