Four hundred and seventieth chapters Holy Order (7)
After talking to Danica about the current situation in Katic continent, Phyllis woke up. Even though the coup was successful and the throne was seized, she was still in danger now, and even the entire elves were in danger. However, the advice given by Danica... really made her embarrassed.
After returning to the Moonlight Forest, Phyllis tried her best to stabilize the situation and appease the elves and nobles, hoping to get their support. In addition, when it was late at night, she would lock herself in the study and struggle to weigh the advice Danica gave her.
Philes never thought about changing dynasties. It was too bold for her, but beyond that, she really couldn't find a way to prevent the elves from falling into civil strife.
On the seventeenth day after the coup, at around 1:00 a.m., just as Phyllis was sitting behind the desk and pondering, the knock on the door suddenly rang out.
"Come in."
Fei Miller pushed the door and walked in, looking at Phyllis with some concern. His Highness is in a bad condition recently! She is now pale, her eyes are covered with bloodshot. She is not as tall as before when she sat, showing a strong fatigue.
Seeing that it was Fei Miller, a glimmer of hope ignited in Philis’s eyes and asked, “How is it, have you found it?”
Fei Miller shook his head and said ashamed: "No, Kelanti seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace."
After learning that Kellandsey had escaped, Philis immediately arranged for Philis to chase him. As a result, more than ten days passed, and all she got was the only sentence "Not found".
Philis sighed deeply. Of course, Kailansi would not disappear out of thin air. The traces she left behind were probably covered by someone! In addition to the identity of the crown prince, Kailansi has also been operating in Moonlight Forest for more than ten years and has received support from many nobles. This is something that Philis, who has been fighting abroad, is far from comparable to that of Philis. More than ten days have passed, and she may never be able to catch Kailansi.
"I should have known the status quo." Phyllis suddenly said, a hint of despair revealed in his cold tone.
"ah?"
Phyllis looked straight ahead with her eyes and said, "I should have recognized the status quo. We are not welcome here because we are rebels." In the past few days, Phyllis has been trying her best to appease the nobles and has made great concessions in the distribution of rights, but she did not exchange the support of the nobles, but she just got a false smile.
Philis took a deep breath and said, "Tomorrow... Forget it, I'll go now and prepare for the car. I'll go and visit Grandpa Bai Zhi." When the elf queen disappeared and Elder Ellente stayed behind closed doors and left no one, the closest person to Philis was Mr. Bai Zhi. She hoped to get some guidance from the old man who had experienced countless storms.
Fei Miller was a little surprised, but he still replied: "Yes, Your Highness."
Old Man Baizhi didn't seem surprised by Philis' late-night visit. It was still in the simple and simple adobe house, with a round table and two cups of light tea. Philis moved a stool and sat in the position of Old Man Baizhi.
Old Man Bai Zhi looked pretty good and had a natural expression. He seemed to have no idea that such a big thing happened to the elves. He picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, and said gently: "Tell me, what's wrong with me?" Since Phyllis came in, she sat in a daze without saying a word.
"Ah?" Philis seemed to be awakened. She looked at the Grandpa Bai Zhi who had always loved her, and mustered up the courage and said, "I...I want to change the dynasty." After saying this, Philis seemed to have removed a burden, and seemed to have lost a persistence, sitting there depressedly.
What Philis never expected was that Old Man Bai Zhi was not surprised by her bold and rebellious words. She just glanced at her and said, "Okay, if you think changing a dynasty is better for the elves, then do it."
"But..." Such a simple thing was to get the support of Old Man Bai Zhi, which made Phyllis even more uneasy. She said, "But since the birth of the elves, the ruler of the elves has always been the Yuelan clan! If I change the dynasty..."
"No, Philis, you are wrong. The ruler of the Elf Clan is not the Yuelan clan, but the top ten Elf clans." Old Man Bai Zhi said seriously.
Seeing Phyllis looking puzzled and completely unaware, Old Man Bai Zhi sighed slightly and said, "This should have been told by your grandfather, but the matter has become like this... Forget it, let me tell you."
Old Man Baizhi took another sip of tea and said in a distant voice: "When it comes to the birth of the elves, Philis, you should have heard that our elves were transformed from the leaves of the World Tree in the Wild Age. The ancient beasts in the Wild Age were too powerful and could not be tolerated by the world, so this world brought down the heavenly tribulation and wanted to exterminate all the ancient beasts, among which there were the World Trees. The World Tree suffered seven heavenly tribulations, and the branches broke and shattered, and the leaves fell one after another, turning into the elves of the first generation. But there were only ten leaves, because they were pressed under the body by the giant snake entrenched on the tree, and although they also fell, they were not like others.
The leaves are so fragmented that these ten leaves are almost completely damaged. They are very complete. The elves turned into powerful strength, and more importantly, they have wisdom. In order to survive in this dangerous and chaotic world, the first elves set up ancient contracts with the ten elves. The elves obey their leadership, and they need to lead the elves to survive better. The ten elves are the ancestors of the ten clans, that is, according to the agreement of the ancient contract, the leaders of the elves are the ten clans, not the Yuelan clan. Yuelan is just the most powerful among the ancestors of our ten clans."
Philis was surprised to listen to Old Man Bai Zhi telling these unreliable ancient legends. Although grandfather has always attached great importance to this legend, in Philis's eyes, this ancient legend is so absurd.
Old Man Bai Zhi glanced at Phyllis and said, "Do you know why Kailansi has been against you?"
Phyllis honestly replied: "Because I am likely to become the chief elder of the Presbyterian House and have the possibility of regent."
Old Man Bai Zhi shook his head and said, "It's not only that, what Kailanxi is really afraid of, or afraid of, is your bloodline."
"Bloodline?" Phyllis thought for a while and said, "Is it because I have inherited part of the blood of the Yuelan clan?"
Bai Zhi did not answer Philis’ question, but continued to talk about the ancient legend: "The first generation of elves were ignorant and weak. In that dark and chaotic era, hundreds of races actually broke out... You may not imagine that there are more than four so-called intelligent races, but many races died out in that chaotic era. Until now, only the so-called four intelligent races are left. Fortunately, the leaders of the ten clans have survived and reached the end. In this long period, in order to ensure the purity of bloodlines, the nine clans have maintained internal intermarriage, while the Yuelan clan even maintained independent reproduction."
The Elf Royal Family and the Yuelan clan reproduce very specially, similar to parthenogenesis in nature. With the help of the Tree of Life, the Elf Queen can nurture an embryo alone to ensure the purity of bloodline. This newborn child will become the new Elf Queen.
Phyllis knew this, but she didn't understand why the top ten clans of the elves were so obsessed with bloodlines? Why can this ancient and even a bit decadent tradition be passed on for so long?
Noting the change in Phyllis's face, Old Man Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Do you feel that you can't understand?"
Phyllis nodded honestly and said, "Yes, in my opinion, intermarriage with other clans can not only increase the diversity of bloodlines, but also a good means to maintain the rule of the top ten clans. In addition to causing so-called bloodlines, I can't think of anything wrong with it."
"The so-called bloodline mixing is already very serious." Bai Zhi said, "In fact, the reason is very simple. The content of the ancient contract established by the first generation of elves and the ten clans is that the elves are loyal to the ancestors of the ten clans and their bloodline descendants. Once the bloodlines of the ten clans are spread, according to the ancient contract, they will also have the same status as the ten clans and will also be loyal to the elves."
Philis couldn't help but say, "That ancient contract is so effective?" A contract that was still in the legendary state of millions or tens of millions of years ago could have such strong binding ability? Philis said, "According to your words, as long as the ten clans inherit continuously, the elves will always be loyal to us. Then why did a great rebellion initiated by the Druid sect five thousand years ago and also trigger a great division of the elves?"
Phyllis's words were a bit quarrel, but unexpectedly, Old Man Bai Zhi sighed heavily and said, "That's because there is a problem with the bloodline inheritance of the top ten clans. This has to be said to 40,000 years ago, the first beast king Salphis Roar, with the assistance of the first Great Shaman Moses Claw, unified the loose beast tribe, and organized a large army to travel the entire Katic continent to complete the first unification in the world. Although the elves at that time had expressed their submission, Salphis was still full of vigilance against the elves. In order to completely destroy the future of the elves, he personally led the army and invaded the Moonlight Forest, and wanted to use the Beast King Axe in his hand to cut off the elves' mother tree and the tree of life."
"Ah?" Philis exclaimed in a low voice. The Tree of Life, as the mother tree of the elves, is more than a respectful title. In fact, the entire elves are protected and protected by the mother tree. Once they lose the shelter of the mother tree, they will lose their powerful power like... like the expelled Druid sect elves.
Speaking of this, the old man Bai Zhi sneered and said, "Want to destroy our mother tree? Salphis paid the price for his arrogance. Although he was the only holy rank among the intelligent race at that time, he had just been promoted and his rank was not stable. Moreover, under the mother tree, the favor of the world will he possessed was suppressed by the luck of the entire elves. Just when Salphis swung his axe and chopped the mother tree, the ten clans launched an ambush..."
Speaking of that past, Old Man Bai Zhi seemed very excited. He took a sip of tea, relieved his emotions, and continued: "We have succeeded. We are about to kill Salphis under the Elf Mother Tree. An accident happened. Before he died, Salphis, the Saint-level master, launched a blood curse... Blood curses, curses blood. Now you know why there is only one old man left in Bai Zhi and Mo Li family, and his blood is about to be cut off. Why are there almost problems with the blood inheritance of the top ten elves clans, and their blood is so thin."
At that time, Salphis' blood curse hit the patriarch of the Baizhi and Mo Li family, causing the bloodlines of these two clans to be cursed. In addition, due to the intermarriage of nine clans, other families with Baizhi and Mo Li bloodlines were also affected. Fortunately, the ten elves' clans themselves have a deep fortune. In addition, because of Salphis's death in battle, the newly established Beast Empire collapsed, and the Elf Empire rose immediately. As the ruler of the Elf Empire, the top ten clans also received a lot of favor from the world. This greatly delayed the influence of the bloodline curse, but it could only delay it. It was not possible to do so.
The law was eliminated, and finally something happened five thousand years ago. Five thousand years ago, in addition to the elf queen's successor, the elf clan also had an inconspicuous but far-reaching thing happening - the grandson of the old man Bai Zhi died, and only the old man Bai Zhi was left in the entire Bai Zhi family. This means that one of the ten clans of the elves is really going to be cut off. The first generation of elves set an ancient contract with the entire ten clans. Once the ten clans are incomplete, the contract will also expire. It is precisely because of this that the druid sect will launch a rebellion, which is a manifestation of the unstable rule of the ten clans.
After hearing the explanation of Mr. Bai Zhi, Philis couldn't help but say, "This is too... too..." In front of Mr. Bai Zhi, Philis still didn't say the sentence "too irritating".
Five thousand years ago, the Druid Sect rebelled and the great division of the elves was a secret thing in the elves, but in fact, for the Elf King Court, the research on this incident has been underway. Phyllis has also seen many related research successes. It makes sense to consider various perspectives such as the background of the times, the world pattern, the Druid Sect, the Elf Queen who just succeeded to the throne, and the mentality and ideas of the Elves Elders' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elves' Elve
Phyllis muttered: "According to your words, is it because the ten leaves of Danica and I were kept intact because of the unintentional protection of the wind. This way, there are the top ten clans, so we owe Dafeng a favor?"
