A family is a combination of blood-related relatives, and a country is a collection of countless families with the same roots and origins. They share mutual interests and live and die together... This mainstream concept, which is quite applicable in some areas, is placed in Ashe
, but it is not suitable.
Compared with the already relatively peaceful Earth, Ashe's living environment is much more dangerous. The hostility of the Warcraft species that threatens other races makes the basic need of "survival" extremely difficult.
Countries on earth can be based on race, national culture, but in Ashe, such a classification is too extravagant. In fact, Ashe's human race subdivisions also have countless branches, but in the eyes of other races and gods, they are all
It's just human beings.
The reason? Without him, life is not easy, staying together for warmth is the top priority, I don’t have time and energy, but I am so divided... If aliens invade the earth for hundreds of years, I guess there will be no discrimination and subdivision of race and ethnicity.
, in the face of greater threats, this is meaningless.
In such a general environment, Ashe's national and social structure is fundamentally different from that of Earth.
"The weak support and worship the strong, and the strong protect the weak."
A simple symbiotic relationship is the foundation of all social structures. The weak long to become the strong. Becoming the strong means being able to get ahead and gain a higher status. While the strong gain strength, they must also bear the responsibility
Take on the responsibility of protecting the weak.
Therefore, under such a social structure, the feudal aristocracy that mainly enfeoffs has become the mainstream of the world. In a sense, this is indeed the most suitable social system for this world. The feudal knight lords.
From the beginning, he shouldered the responsibility of becoming a professional soldier and protecting his people.
If we travel back in time, we will need communism. At the very least, we will have to implement a capitalist class revolution and a constitutional monarchy. Then, who is responsible for protecting the entire ethnic group? Do we expect those civilians who have not practiced any martial arts or magic?
From the moment they are born, the children of the royal family who ascend to the throne by blood will be taught military knowledge and the responsibility of guarding the people of their family, country and people. This is not noble and just, it is purely a result of the internal environment and the society brought about by external pressure.
Division of labor.
In this world, due to the existence of magic and martial arts, the gap between the strong and the weak has become more obvious. The division of labor between professional warriors and civilians has given rise to the so-called knight aristocracy over time.
"The emperor guards the country, the king dies in the country, and the prince is the general. It is quite an ancient custom... So, what does this ancient refer to? Probably, there are some things in common."
Even in another world, when life was extremely difficult at the beginning, the so-called superiors were actually the military leaders of the tribesmen. Emperor Yan and Emperor Wen of the East, and Arthur Alexander of the West, all had deeds of leading troops in battle, but
The long era of peace and luxurious enjoyment corrupted their descendants, allowing their descendants to enjoy themselves based on the achievements of their ancestors and forget their true responsibilities.
But even so, in the dark ages of the Middle Ages and the chaotic Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the lords still had to fight for the future of themselves and their people.
Compared with the Earth, the situation in Ashe Continent is more severe. It may have luxurious enjoyment, but there will never be a long-lasting peace. Jihadist alien monsters will always be a threat to all countries and races.
Perhaps the current human nobles have indulged in pleasure and luxury, perhaps now the upper elves have focused their attention on the struggle for power. Perhaps the orc chiefs have returned to the primitive tribal system, but as long as their territory is invaded, they must still take up arms.
, leading his tribe to defend his homeland.
In Ai Xi, nobles can be stupid, greedy, ignorant, and arrogant, but they must not be incompetent or timid.
If when a threat comes, if the lord gives up his territory and escapes with his life, in addition to losing his territory and title, he will be looked down upon by everyone... This includes everyone, including the humblest farmers and criminals sentenced to death.
.
In this regard, the countries in the central part of the continent that have been at peace for some time may be a little slack. Their noble knights have indeed become corrupted. Short-lived humans are indeed inferior to elves in this regard, but for me, who was born in the North, I am born with
The responsibility seems to be right in front of you.
Ever since I was born, the threat of the northern orcs and the cruel natural environment have reminded me that this is not a peaceful earth, this is Ashe, where people will die at any time.
As the heirs of the Lan Kingdom, the first toys Caverns and I had were actually wooden swords. We have received knight training and military instruction since childhood. The Great Sword Master of the Royal Knights is our swordsmanship instructor. As a royal lecturer
Kaili's teaching is not about romance, she is very good at teaching children political and military knowledge using anecdotes from the past.
The experience of being on the battlefield before we were even minors is not unique to Cavins and I. Countless heirs of lords have had this experience. In some places, it is even regarded as a test. With this kind of experience,
Alternative laws of the jungle to choose the best heir.
"The territory and its people are always the root of the lord. The people support you and love you because you protect them."
"The land and the people are always the root of the country..."
"The territory and people of a clan are always the roots of the clan leader..."
Such words can be extended to countless versions, from an ordinary mayor to the supreme emperor. This contract of guardianship and origin is the most basic trust relationship for the continuation of this unpeaceful world.
The lofty status represents not only rights, but also the responsibility as a guardian. The glory of the ancestors is not only the glory that decorates the facade, but also a perseverance that must be inherited.
I don't know if the education of the golden elves is the same as that of the human royal family, but at least I don't find any difference between the various races in this regard.
"Heloise, what are you thinking? Do you still hate the elven gods? Do you hope to destroy the elves? Or do you want to revive the elves and revive the entire elven empire?"
This is a very despicable and cruel questionnaire, because it not only digs people's scars, but also forces them to make a dilemma... And I knew the answer from the beginning.
As the last descendant of the golden elves, Heloise is not the king of subjugation but is destined to subjugate her country. If she were still an undead full of resentment, she would probably be able to shout "I want revenge and let them all die" at this time.
But now that Heloise is resurrected, I don’t believe that as the only golden elf, she has never thought about the responsibilities she should bear, but every time she thinks about it, "They will not accept me, an old-fashioned princess of the former dynasty."
"What these meaningless things do" will prevent her from thinking deeply.
How do I know? I said it was because of the similar status of the subjugated royal family. Does anyone believe it? Well, I do have to admit that the magic pet contract was signed too hastily, and some messy things always come out of nowhere.
I know how Heloise will answer. Just like Heloise knows that I know how she will answer... Even though it seems confusing, that's what it is.
It has been so long since the events of that year, although Heloise would go into a state of rage whenever she mentioned the elves, but from another perspective, it shows that she has always been thinking about the elves, and her complicated feelings towards the elves are...
A detailed description would probably be enough to write a series of romance novels.
The long silence finally came to an end.
"How cunning...those bastards back then must pay the price."
When communicating with people with soul connections, lies and bargaining are meaningless. What Heloise said is her own bottom line.
But the fall of the Elf Empire happened more than 10,000 years ago, probably during the last four and five Holy Wars. The people involved at that time... well, there are still some. I still remember those elves in the little notebook Heloise gave me.
The old names of the gods, Ansoloros, are all listed first.
As for the enemies of elves in the mortal world? Not to mention that the life span of golden elves may not be more than 10,000 years. The poor survival rate of previous holy wars, from the end of the elven era to today, there should be only a handful of elves.
Oh, and Heloise has been hunting like a mad dog for so many years, not to mention the Eternal Night Era for more than a hundred years. Whenever she encounters the Elf Kingdom, she will make a list of those ancient elves to hunt.
"No. There are also five silver elves, Savar Olsten, both of whom are traitors of the Silver Spear family. They were the captain of the royal guard at that time. The moon elf Finna Moon Shadow, my father's most trusted priest, was...
Covered our eyes. Wild Elf Vincent, I promoted that bastard when I was blind. Wood Elf Ancient Tree Sleeper, it was he who forced all the ancient trees guarding the palace to sleep."
Well, no one is easy to mess with, they are all old-fashioned demigods who have gone up to the top. For so many years, they and their clan disciples have taken root in the major high-level elves. If they move, it will be like stepping on a hornet's nest... Yes, if you are good,
To deal with it, Heloise has already been in the dark.
"Okay, I will personally send them to Hades and Purgatory. This is my promise."
Originally, my promise to help Heloise avenge was just an exchange of benefits required by the alliance. I didn't take it too seriously. I just dealt with it if I encountered it. I wouldn't take the initiative to provoke it if I didn't encounter it. But now that I have persuaded him,
Heloise has made concessions and realized herself. As a man, I will bear her hatred for her.
They are nothing more than a bunch of old bastards who have betrayed their Lord. I will put in all my effort and kill them all within three years, no matter the cost.
Perhaps because she sensed the rare authenticity of my promise this time, Heloise actually blushed, and her eyes flashed with water... Was it a bit of a mistake? I wasn't usually moved, but I was moved by helping her kill people?
But the next moment, she regained her composure and stopped looking at me. She seemed a little shy.
The red clouds on her pointed ears quickly dissipated, but those beautiful eyes were staring at the succubus Didina. Her expression changed repeatedly, and her little mouth opened and closed. She wanted to ask, but was a little afraid of knowing.
the truth.
The matter of the three artifacts is obviously the biggest secret of the elf royal family. There are definitely not many people who know about it. Heloise has probably guessed who the other party is, and there are only a few candidates at most.
"Queen mother...?"
Didina smiled bitterly and shook her head. She also knew that she couldn't hide it at this time.
"Aunt Beta?"
This time, Didina was silent, but in the end, she shook her head.
The next moment, Heloise covered her face, lowered her head, and did not ask any more questions, but the expression she looked at Didina became more complicated. It seemed that there were only three people who knew about that matter. Eliminating two wrong answers would be enough.
Only the right answer remains, even if that answer is extremely incredible.
At this moment, I also covered my mouth. It’s not that I knew anything from Heloise. She had already tried her best to cut off our direct psychological connection. I guessed Didina from simple family ethics.
What on earth is Heloise’s…
"You can't laugh, you can't laugh. If you laugh out loud, you will really die. Heloise will die with me..."
While I was trying not to laugh, I was racking my brains to figure out what to say. After all, the other party seemed to be Heloise's elder.
"Father... no, mother, please marry your daughter to me."
The shocking words echoed in the hall, and everyone's eyes were focused on the speaker who knelt down to propose marriage. Didina, the person involved, was even more shocked and disbelieving.
"Pfft, Heloise, you have a sister who is the Devourer of the Void. Your little sister will get married before you. How do you feel? Hahaha"
Finally, I couldn't bear it any longer and rolled on the floor laughing. The next moment, the familiar biting cat also came to greet me with three consecutive moves.
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't me who proposed. The one who knelt on the ground and proposed was the legendary half-dragon who appeared out of nowhere.
But now, while he was proposing to Didina, he was secretly looking outside the door, where the legendary archer with four hooves was looking at him with a complicated expression.
"It was such a serious topic just now, but it turned into a farce as soon as it came out. This guy really knows how to steal the show... What is this? The Shura field with four hooves and a big mouth in the void? Forget it, I rarely get serious for two minutes.
It’s better not to watch this bastard ruin his outlook on life." To be continued.
