Game of the World Tree - Chapter 271

271. Chapter 269: Elf Capital

“The Elf Forest in the past sense?”

Cuckoo Bird and Little Salty Cat were slightly moved when they heard this.

Little Salty Cat thought for a moment and asked curiously:

“Could it be that… the Elf Forest now is a reduced version? The area where the Elf King Capital is located has become the sphere of human influence?”

After hearing her words, the Natural Saint Alice nodded gently, and then began to tell the story about the Elf Forest and the Elf King Capital…

The history of the Elf Forest is extremely long.

No one knows when the Elf Forest appeared.

There is a legend that the Elf Forest is an epiphytic forest of the World Tree that evolved with the birth of the World Tree.

There is also a myth that says that in the Twilight Era of the Elf Forest, the World Tree personally opened up a forest that is the largest and most luxuriant in the world of Segus in order to let light and warmth return to the earth.

However, no matter which legend it is, the birth of the Elf Forest is often inseparable from the shadow of the World Tree, and the story of the Elf Forest is often related to the World Tree.

The former Elf Forest, from the Endless Sea in the west to the Arctic Icefield in the north to the Death Desert in the south, and from the Vimur River in the east to the Fertile Plains across the river, covers an area of millions of square kilometers.

The location of the World Tree is just a part of the Elf Forest.

At that time, the Dark Mountains were not called the Dark Mountains. It had a better name, the Emerald Mountains.

The Emerald Mountains themselves were just a mountain range in the Elf Forest.

In ancient times, the peak area covered by the Elf Forest was actually the territory of the Silver Age Elf Kingdom.

The other races were all attached to the periphery of the Elf Forest, most of them were subordinate races of the elves, receiving the protection and help of the elves.

In that era, the Elf Forest was the center of the entire continent, and all intelligent creatures were proud to have the opportunity to go to the capital of the elves and the holy land of Florence.

Of course, all of this disappeared with the War of the Gods.

At first, the new True God of Faith and the Ancient God had a conflict…

They destroyed the entire Emerald Mountain in a battle, turning the originally vibrant forest into a black evil land, and the Emerald Mountain has since been named the Dark Mountains.

However, the World Tree, as the owner, did not pursue the matter of the Emerald Mountain.

The mother goddess of the elves only reprimanded the True God of Faith for the battle, but she did not expect that she would drift further and further away from the God of Faith.

Until the Thousand Years of God War, the gods besieged the World Tree.

The Thousand Years of God War led to the fall of the World Tree, and the origin of the Segus plane was frustrated, the magic power fell in all directions, and even the plane channels were closed…

After the fall of the World Tree, the Elf Forest was also divided up by various races.

Among them, the area adjacent to the Fertile Plain was occupied by humans, who cut down trees and cleared fields, built roads and built cities there. The once lush forests have gradually disappeared, replaced by castles and towns.

Most of the areas bounded by the Black Mountains have been claimed by the orcs for sovereignty and nominal management.

Of course, it is also because the Elf Forest is large enough, there are enough magical beasts living in the Elf Forest, and the forest is rich enough, so no race can thoroughly develop the Elf Forest under the obstruction of other races…

They restrain each other, which allows most areas of the Elf Forest to exist safely until now.

However, there is only one thing that the true gods behind the various races believe in.

That is, they hunt down the race created by the World Tree, the intelligent life originally used to manage the continent – the elves.

Unlike other races, the elves are a race truly created by the true gods.

And the life priesthood has only been held by the World Tree since ancient times.

The secret of life, in addition to the World Tree, I am afraid that only the God of Death knows a little bit.

And being able to create intelligent life that can reproduce is an ability that makes all gods amazed.

So… the hunting of elves by various races is actually essentially the true gods behind them worrying that the World Tree has a backup plan.

As the center of elven civilization, the capital of the elven race has naturally experienced massacres and looting by various races…

“So, the capital of the elven race is located in the area occupied by humans?”

Hearing this, Xiao Xian Miao asked curiously.

“That’s right.”

Alice nodded and continued to tell…

the Elf King’s Capital… or the Moonlight City.

It was a city opened up on the edge of the Elf Forest by the Elf Royal Family and a group of original elves after leaving the World Tree.

This city was also the first stop for the elves to communicate with other races, and it was once the political, economic and cultural center of the world.

Of course, that was already a thing of the past.

The World Tree fell, the Elf Forest was divided, and the original Elf King’s Capital was naturally not spared.

As a symbol of the elven civilization, this beautiful elven capital must have suffered a devastating blow…

Humans broke through the city and forced all residents to convert, but the elves refused.

Then… what they welcomed was the ruthless massacre of humans…

It is said that at the beginning, the order of the human high-level was to slaughter all the residents of the city.

It’s just that… the appearance of the elves is too outstanding. Out of greed, the human nobles who broke through the city only executed the older elves and male elves.

The young elves and female elves were tacitly sold into slavery…

Of course, for the proud elves, this was a more unacceptable shame than death.

The former capital of the elven kingdom was occupied by humans from then on.

They erased everything related to the elves, changed the name of the city, destroyed the stone tablets and statues of the elves, and then erected their own temples and built their own castles…

So far, there is no longer an elven city called Moonlight City in the world. Instead, there is a human city called Maple Leaf City.

The traces of the elves have been completely wiped out by humans.

“Maple Leaf City?”

Hearing this word, the cuckoo bird frowned slightly.

“This name… seems familiar, as if I’ve heard it from someone.”

She murmured.

“Maple Leaf City?”

The little salty cat was slightly stunned, with a strange expression.

“Pfft… Sister Gugu, do you still remember the name of the human earldom that Myriel robbed?”

Gugu Bird was stunned at first, and then his expression was also strange:

“It seems… it’s called Maple Leaf Earldom.”

Xiao Xianmao nodded:

“I specifically asked Myriel, Maple Leaf City is the largest city in Maple Leaf Earldom, and it is also the capital of the human border earl.”

After saying that, she and Gugu Bird looked at each other.

The two smiled at each other.

It feels like…

the goal of exploring the new map has been found.
