MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 88 ancient elves

Latest website: The origin of the elves is not actually undiscussed, but their voices and ideas are rarely conveyed. As one of the three largest intelligent races in today's ethnic group, the history of elves is too long for human and dwarf historians.

God is sorry, it is very difficult for scholars of these two races to verify the history of their own ethnic groups. If they are asked to find the past that the elves have forgotten or no longer talk about, it is likely that several generations will be wasted on the foundation. discussion of concepts.

Not to mention touching the ancient secrets, the attitude of the elves will not be as friendly as usual. As long as the group lasts long enough, there will always be dark parts in it. Long-lived elves are particularly sensitive to this, and they will spare no effort Prevent someone from bringing to light what has been buried in the earth.

The elves appearing in front of cheese are living fossils that have been deeply buried in the roots of the tree of history. He or she may have had many names, but that is not important anymore, time once again showed its mighty power, completely annihilating this branch belonging to the Long-Ear Clan under the endless yellow sand.

Even if he is as knowledgeable as a gray robe, he can only be sure that the other party belongs to an elf clan that has been considered extinct. It is said that before the prosperity of the dwarves, such elf clans were still very common. Now they are collectively called by the documents in the gray tower, the past elf.

Therefore, the cheese who greeted the other party in ancient elf language cannot be absolutely sure that his expression can be understood, but seeing that the other party appeared from the front and did not go around the back to wipe his neck, the mage thinks that communication is still possible established.

The elf with purple-black skin and star-like eyes is wearing clothes of the same color as the land. The material of the clothes is unrecognizable due to complicated processing, but it feels like it has been made for a long time. Although it is not worn out, it has a kind of An inexplicable sense of vicissitudes.

The vicissitudes are not the clothes themselves, but the craftsmanship of making them. Things made according to ancient methods will still have traces of history even if they are brand new. It's like if the gray tower is passed down in one line, after a few generations, looking back at the current gray robe, it will feel ancient.

The elf looked at the cheese through the fire. Since no fuel was collected on purpose, the fire in front of Cheese is just a slow-burning fireball on the grass. It was controlled by the gray robe so that it did not turn into a wildfire.

Therefore, the fire is not big enough to illuminate all the details. Under such firelight, even the face of a person cannot be completely illuminated, let alone the tall elf who is standing, with only a very small part of his face Take care of the light. In this case, the cheese is completely unable to judge the opponent's next move.

"You... are not my kind." The elf's tone was a little hesitant, but fortunately, the language used was roughly the same as that of Cheese. It’s just that compared with the pronunciation of the other party, the ancient elf language of the gray-robed mage is quite lame. Those transliterations don’t need to be explained by anyone. You can tell which one is the original one and which one is reconstructed by relying on incomplete information. .

Leaving aside the language, what the elf said was even more surprising. According to him, he mistakenly took the cheese as his own kind before approaching him, and he was quite disappointed at this time.

"It's really not. I do have contact and understanding of your close relatives, but none of them are like you." If the other party is looking for the same kind, perhaps the existing elves can give him some relief. Interestingly, even after listening to the other party, Cheese still couldn't judge his gender.

How should I put it, this elf's voice has a non-biological feeling, talking to him always gives the gray robe the illusion that he is talking to the empty night. He even had to concentrate part of his mind to catch the opponent's existence.

"Of course they don't. They are demon blockers, they can't directly touch the magic power, and their bodies are also biased toward matter." The elf didn't feel like leaving immediately, and he even explained what Cheese said according to his own concerns.

At the same time, his speech also made the gray robe understand the most fundamental gap between the other party and the elves he knew, that is coordination, not the coordination of limbs, but the appearance of this elf under the magic vision, which is different from his naked eyes. , there is no difference. This phenomenon only occurs in very rare creatures, such as dragons.

Some thought it meant the creature had evolved to some higher stage, but now it sounds like the opposite might actually be the case. In ancient times, magic power and air could not be separated, and creatures in that environment would naturally not distinguish between these two things.

"It turned out to be like this. Those elves didn't disappear, but changed themselves with the state of magic power and became the current elves." This inference made Cheese feel a sense of enlightenment, but he soon realized , there is a leftover who has not changed in front of him.

"May I take the liberty to ask, how long have you existed in this world?" If the inference just now is true, then the individual in front of the mage probably lived from the age when the dragon was active until now. It's hard to even count the time in years.

"I'm not sure. Whenever I fall asleep, the world seems to change, because when we fall asleep, UUReading Book www.uukanshu.com itself disappears." This is difficult to understand, but it can be combined with the appearance of the elves just now In this scene, cheese believes that the so-called disappearance is likely to be literal.

That is to say, the sleep of the elves in front of us is a more thorough self-decomposition than death in the human concept today. The difference is that death is irreversible, but the elves will reorganize and wake up again, facing this world that has already changed.

This may be the way of survival of creatures in that era. Thanks to the environment, their lives exceeded the limited time and space that people can imagine today, and existed in a conceptual way.

But then, where should he go to find his clansmen? Even if there are still ancient elves of the same kind alive, as long as they don't take the initiative to show themselves, no one will be aware of their existence. These elves live in the world like ghosts.

Cheese thought of this, once again lamented the inconceivability of the blank world, and then said, "I believe you will find your own people. Maybe you should talk to people more like this, so that your existence can be noticed by more people, and they will take you Treat it as a legend, so that there is a chance for your other clansmen to know about it.”

The elf didn't respond after hearing this, he retreated a few steps silently, and his figure disappeared as it appeared. The only thing that can prove that this is not Cheese's illusion is a ruby ​​that appeared on the ground at an unknown time.
