Chapter two hundred and ninety-ninth records of later generations
When the envoys settled in the Ice Palace and agreed on cooperation, the two sides began to frequently exchange information on each other.
Before arriving in the Northern Continent, the envoy brought the empire's natural climate change records for the past 20 years. The data on monsoons, rainfall, and temperature changes were very detailed. This was also due to the fine tradition of the Green Empire.
Ruling an empire that spans nearly half of the continent, they are particularly concerned about climate change and adjustment. Although they do not have specialized institutions to regulate feng shui and climate like the Plantagenet Dynasty, it is still possible to do a good job of observation and preparation.
When the ice elves saw the thick books and pages piled up into a hill, it could be said that they were surprised, even a little unbelievable, because they rarely kept records in this regard.
The Northern Continent is not like other places. Because of the cold, the climate has always been extremely stable without much change, so they usually didn't care about it until some changes occurred in recent years.
At first, there were three warm years after the change in heaven and earth, and a large number of glaciers melted.
The ice elves were actually happy during this period, because it brought a lot of flowing water, which made it easier to build cities. In addition, because the temperature warmed, it also brought many plots of land that could be cultivated.
But the good times did not last long. In the following years, the temperature dropped again. Not only did it return to its previous appearance, it even became colder every year than before. Some towns had no choice but to begin to shrink.
Of course, this cooling rate was not fast at first. Although the ice elves noticed it, they were not too worried because the degree of change was still within the acceptable range.
This situation has happened several times in the Northern Continent in the past two thousand years.
However, what is unexpected is that the situation began to take a turn for the worse after that. Not only did the temperature gradually become colder, but the number of fish in the sea also decreased significantly, and food began to become insufficient.
For this reason, the ice elves began to become anxious, and then began to send ships and teams to the sea to explore the cause. They suspected that a special powerful magical beast had appeared and swallowed up the sea fish near the North Sea.
In this way, they began to fight against monsters on the way out to sea, and contacted the Plantagenet Dynasty in the East a few years ago, and even started some cooperation to kill sea monsters and open up trade routes.
With the trade support from the Eastern Dynasty, the ice elves' food supply quickly improved, because their number was not large to begin with, and they could produce a lot themselves.
As a result, the importance of the cold disaster gradually decreased. In addition, after searching for a long time with no results, many people stopped paying attention to the matter and planned to survive the difficult days like this.
Until now, the envoys from the forest elves have brought news about the Western Continent. The cold disaster is still spreading. Not only has everything not gotten better, it is getting worse step by step.
"If this is the case, the situation is dangerous." A knowledgeable old noble looked at the information in his hand and frowned gradually.
"I am very grateful to our compatriots from afar for the timely news. We will quickly count our manpower here to participate in this investigation."
The speaker was a prestigious ice elf count. He was wearing a silver-embellished dress and was very neatly dressed.
"I guess so."
Most of the ice elves have received a good education, and it is easy to see the hidden message behind these reports. Then this crisis can no longer be sustained simply by relying on force.
Maybe the Eastern Continent will be affected in the future, and then they will have difficulty importing food, and many problems will be exposed.
If this disaster is not fundamentally solved, it is not a matter of surviving for a few years or decades, but of enduring the frost for hundreds or even thousands of years. At that time, the entire world will be in a state of scarcity of resources.
In this state, there is no room for buffering for various conflicts, and as a weaker ice elf, it may not be able to sustain it.
"Sorry to trouble you all, I think we must first collect the climate change situation of the entire northern continent."
Finally entering the stage of dealing with practical matters, Atesi regained her confidence. She arranged and directed with familiarity, and described the plan to be implemented next.
As the famous twin princesses in the forest, she is not just a vase with extraordinary strength.
The two elves in the hall also slowly entered the state, and various affairs and policies began to be arranged one by one.
On the top of the tower at the top of the palace, Lorraine Hill sat on the bell tower and listened quietly to what was going on below, nodding occasionally.
That's great, Etesi, this will put you on the right track.
After today's negotiation meeting between the two parties ended, Lorraine Hill slowly opened his eyes, stood up and stretched.
"Does Lorraine want to rest at my place?" In the clock tower, Tehua sat opposite Lorraine Hill, looking at Lorraine Hill who was stretching.
"Where, does Tehua have a residence in the Ice Palace Garden?" Luo Lan asked curiously.
"Well, yes, they built it for me when I worked with the ice elves in the past." After speaking, Tehua also stood up slightly and pointed to a courtyard to the west of the Ice Palace.
The courtyard was surrounded by purple-leafed mulberry trees, which made it very quiet and quite in line with Tehua's style.
"Then let's go." Lorraine Hill is not picky either. Now living with Tehua will indeed be a lot more free and comfortable.
"Okay." Although Tehua's answer was very brief, Lorraine Hill still felt a hint of happiness from it.
Maybe she is lonely too, the girl thought. After all, she has spent such a long time alone, and in the inaccessible underground garden, there are probably few people talking.
Afterwards, Lorrain Hill and Tehua jumped down from the tower together, flying to the quiet courtyard under the starry sky of the polar night.
In the following month, the Ice Palace Court issued summons orders to major cities, allowing high-level extraordinary beings among the ice elves to gather and begin to describe the current situation and action plans to detect the disaster. After that,
Start to divide these elite extraordinary people into teams, and match them with certain auxiliary personnel, and then go to various locations in the northern continent to start collecting data and exploring the local situation. Lorraine Hill is also working with Tehua, preparing to go deep into the depths of the North Sea and explore
Changes in the ocean floor.
Everyone started to get busy.
As the entire ice elves gradually took action, an exquisite doll also came to the quiet library of the Ice Palace Garden.
Because many high-level extraordinary beings have been transferred away, the current administrators and guards are not aware of this additional existence entering the library.
Yin Xue Gelin floated in the sea of bookshelves, looking for those ancient records. From time to time, she took out thick books and read the things described in them.
Some are things at the end of the First Era, some are at the beginning of the Second Era, some are the migration process of the ice elves, and some are the reflections of the predecessors on that war.
"Analysis from the development of hundreds of years after the end of the Second Era, it can be seen that the method used by the elves to fight against the Mercury Dynasty was a failure." "Summary of the past war" in the 672th year of the Third Era, Bachelor Xelaini.
"Although we sacrificed many people, the forest elves resisted, and the silver elves were destroyed, we were still unable to stop the nine-headed mercury snake that was becoming more and more ferocious."
'The Mercury Dynasty is not a country or a whole. In fact, its composition is quite complex. Witches, necromancers, descendants of the Red Empire, warlords, black knights, etc. The reason why they all use the Wisteria Crescent as their flag and call themselves
For the Mercury Dynasty, its biggest reason is still revenge.'
'The ancestors of mankind are hated for being persecuted by ogres and orcs, they are hated for the destruction of the Red Empire, and they are hated for the death of the Witch of Fertility. These survivors who are chased to the ends of the earth have already embarked on a path of extremes.'
'If you say that they built a country with rich culture, prosperity and happiness, I don't believe it, but to the people at that time, these did not seem to be important.'
"They don't care about those exquisite poems and paintings, stories and legends, benevolence and morality. They don't want them all. All the means are for killing, which is extremely cruel. The mountains of corpses and seas of bones are a true portrayal of that time."
'If we elves had done this, we would have been torn apart by internal opposition, and it would have been worth the constant internal friction, but if it were them, this would have no side effects at all.'
'In that crazy era, everything was allowed. Although the weak ones among them would feel insecure, they would not think there was anything wrong with such a system. On the contrary, they agreed with it.'
"Equality? That is simply a joke. Human beings have never enjoyed the concept of equality. This is something that the elven ancestors did not understand at that time."
'Before the First Era, the elves entered the civilized era smoothly, with abundant resources and kindness to each other.'
'Where humans were before the First Era, there is almost no record in history. Even if there are, they are at most like rat-like existences in the wilderness, no more civilized than ogres.'
‘In the Battle of Kailash, the ancestors defeated the Giant King’s Court, but we did not expand our territory to the entire continent because many places are far less comfortable and beautiful than under the World Tree.’
'This gave many weak races opportunities, and perhaps it was also at that time that humans developed in the cracks.'
'But even so, there are orcs who are more fertile, expand faster, and are more powerful than them.'
"So their gathering places could only be limited to remote corners. This lasted until the witch Julies of the Blood Moon changed the situation."
"After that, the True Red Empire slowly rose, and then established the human kingdom, and civilization began to develop."
'But this process was interrupted hundreds of years later. The Red Empire was destroyed, and a group of great witches represented by the Witch of Fertility passed away, which dealt a huge blow to mankind and laid the foundation for future hatred.'
'You have to be alive before you can talk about equality. In fact, human beings have never been able to gain the sense of security in life. At that time, no one talked about equality. The Mercury Dynasty acted without any scruples.
The end justifies the means is their policy.'
'Faced with such a difficult and vicious opponent, the defeat of our ancestors was not unjust.'
'But if we had seen clearly the internal problems of the Mercury Dynasty at that time, retained our strength to the greatest extent, avoided direct conflict with the opponent, and had only promoted the Mercury Dynasty to the altar of invincible victory, they would have lost when they had no opponents.
direction, the so-called nine-headed mercury snake will begin to fight and devour itself, and then disintegrate.'
'The development of history also proves this.'
'It's a pity that the ancestors did not endure until that time.'
This sentence at the end of the book is marked with a huge red cross. I don’t know which senior who borrowed it left his own handwriting on it.
'Foolish, someone is holding a knife in front of your house and wants to burn your house down and kill your whole family. You still say you don't have enough patience? It's a joke!'
There is another line of blue writing below, but it looks more neat and graceful, so it should be written by another person.
'In the second era, three witches descended on the top of the World Tree and turned it into a sea of fire. Nearly a million elves who persisted were buried in it. This kind of patience was the ultimate. The ancestors had done enough.
We should not judge it arbitrarily. If some of the history recorded in this book were not really fresh, I don't think I would rent it.'
'When future generations look at history, they always feel that they can achieve great achievements, but at that time, countless heroes and powerful beings disappeared without a trace. Is it because they can't see clearly or are not smart? Please respect those histories a little bit.
Just leave your name. They tried their best to the limit of what they could do at that time.'
Yin Xue Gelin flipped through the book. After reading it, she shook her head slightly, as if she was not satisfied with some of the academic opinions on the later generations of ice elves, but she sighed and put it back where it was.
In the following days, she began to read a lot of historical records after the First Era to understand the changes in the ideas and culture of the ice elves over the past thousand years.
So until two months later.
At this time, Lorraine Hill and Tehua had already left the Ice Palace Garden and headed to the depths of the sea. Yin Xuegelin also slowly and roughly understood the changes in history.
It was another day when the library was closed for rest. The library was extremely quiet. Yin Xuege Lin was floating faintly in the room, her eyes scanning the titles on the bookshelves one by one.
It's almost done, she thought silently in her heart, and then slowly moved to a corner behind a hidden bookshelf and parked her doll body here.
This is a blind spot that no one will discover for a long time. She has already discovered it during her time in the library.
Then
Under the cold window sill, a beautiful and graceful figure slowly took shape. The complicated dress decorated with flowers and the delicate and graceful laurel wreath on her head all symbolized the luxury and complexity of the elves in the first era.
style.
Light pink and white irises were pinned in her hair, and her long skirt was dotted with layers of flowers. Fabric softer than silk and moonlight wrapped her moving figure. In the middle of her fair chest, there was a diamond-shaped
Gemstones are embellished in it, complementing the skin and face like a dream.
If there were any elven nobles of that era here, they would definitely recognize that this was the ‘Princess Ice Glow Flower’ that many elves were looking forward to.
It’s time to go see those old stubborns. I feel that those old guys in the past era are not completely dead. They may have ways to hibernate or transform into ghosts. Otherwise, some of the traditional customs of the ice elves would not be so stubborn and tenacious.
.
Yin Xue stood in front of the window, looking at the top of the cold mountain under the starry night in the distance, and then turned into shadows and light sand again, passing through the night sky and driving towards the distance.
There should be the answer she's looking for. (To be continued.)
