Chapter 9 Past Events
"Have you been to the Auckland Forest in Rolian?"
Thought Sistaer would talk about his own experience, Moya heard him raise a question that had nothing to do with his life experience.
"No, I heard it is beautiful there... Every autumn, when the leaves turn yellow, Auckland becomes a golden forest, so the Knights Academy, located on the edge of the forest, is named the Golden Tree." Stroking the exquisite pendant that has been hanging around the neck, Sistale, whose eyes are blurred, has obviously fallen into his memories, and ignores Moya, who is already a little impatient on the side.
"My parents met there..."
When Sistale mentioned his parents, Moya suddenly remembered that he had heard Ji Chang say that he was a mixed-race child. The mixed-race child of white elves and night elves is extremely rare. Usually, their appearance usually has the characteristics of their parents. Mixed-race child like Sistale who is completely biased towards white elves is called "Kadar", which means "ancient", which means ancestor rebirth.
Although very impatient, Moya continued to listen to Sistale telling her past. She wanted to know what this boy who always opposes her was going to do? She also wanted to make sure what he was going to talk to her.
Although she has never been to Luo Lian, she has seen many introductions about it in books. It is an inland country located in the central southern continent. It has no particularly outstanding minerals and is not a major agricultural producer. However, it has the most beautiful forest on the southern continent - Auckland, and the famous Golden Tree Knights Academy.
Every autumn, when the Jisang trees in the forest begin to wither, the golden leaves become particularly dazzling under the sunlight, and the leaves falling on the ground are like a layer of golden carpet. This scenery is known as one of the top ten beautiful scenery.
Although people like to come to the golden forest to enjoy the scenery during this season, the nature-loving elves do not like the autumn of the golden forest. For them, the depletion of trees means death, and this golden beauty symbolizes the disappearance of life.
"My mother's name is Elise, a nobleman living in the White Elf Country of the Mist Forest, Polyvia, she met my father Hassandra in the autumn of Auckland."
As a maid of the Elf Temple, Elise, the White Elf Noble, is not only the most beautiful woman in the Polyvian Elf Kingdom, but also the most recognized beauty in the Western Continent. Princes and nobles of many countries hope to see this beautiful elf who is said to be loved by the Elf Goddess. He wanders around the edge of the fog Forest for many years. The bards wrote countless songs praising her beauty. Even the former Holy Empire Emperor Gadu did not establish a queen for twenty years.
After finishing his polite visit to the Holy Capital, Elise, who passed by Rolian, ran into the forest where the white elf rarely entered to enjoy the sunset.
The sunlight at dusk made the golden forest blood red. Elise, who wanted to observe the different scenery of the forest, and Hassandra, who avoided human pursuit, discovered each other almost at the same time.
Hassandra, who was out under the secret order of the Great Elder, stole into the Southern Continent in order to steal confidential information from the Holy Empire. In order to restore the declining family, the young patriarch who had just inherited the position of patriarch had to leave his familiar hometown to come to this distant foreign country.
One of them is on the tree and the other is under the tree.
The brief eye contact made the two elves dull. I wonder if it was a spark created by the taboo collision, which made them who belonged to different camps fall in love quickly after several chases without murderous intentions.
In just three months, Hassandra and Elise traveled all over the central part of the Southern Continent, but when Elise proposed to find a secluded place to live with her, differences arose.
As the leader of a clan, Hassandra had no chance of abandoning his current status for a temporary love. After asking Elise to return to the Night Capital with him without success, Hassandra embarked on a journey back to the East Continent without hesitation.
Knowing that Hassandra is the leader of a clan who has three sons, and he also expressed his unwillingness to give up his current status, Elise returned to his hometown sadly and desperately. Even his best sister Serena did not tell the true identity of the beautiful boy father she gave birth to.
Among the many young elves in the Mist Forest, Sistale and Serena's son Yann are the best. For this close friend, Sistale told him the secret that his mother would not tell anyone.
"Did the best friend you mentioned betray you?" Moya felt the same idea as Sistale once said that he had the same fate as him. When he heard his emphasis on introducing his friend named Yann so much, he also felt the idea in his heart.
"Apart from my mother, the elf princess Miria, who is as big as us, is the most beautiful female elves in Porivia. All male elves want to get her favor, including Yarn."
"But that elf princess fell in love with you?" Moya made such a guess in the typical triangular relationship. Then his friend betrayed his friendship for love and told his friends about his secret life experience. Sistaer was driven out of the foggy forest. The white elf never accepted mixed-race children.
"Things are a little different from what you think..." From Moya's eyes and expression, Sistale also guessed her thoughts; "It was the secret my mother told."
"Huh?" This incident exceeded Moya's prediction. She never expected that the person who informed was Sistale's mother; "Why did she... do that?"
"Hmph... Maybe it's because half of the dark night bloodline in my body. I have had an inexplicable desire for fighting and blood since I was a child. I always hurt other elves in the forest in friendship matches. For this reason, I was punished by the Elf King to wash the Elf Temple... But this still cannot stop my increasingly strange behavior. My mother has a deep blood relationship with the Polyvian Elf King Imo. In order to maintain her bloodline, the Elf decided to let his daughter marry me after she became an adult. This was originally a gratifying thing... But when the Elf King announced on the annual Forest Day, my mother opposed it like crazy... I still remember her expression at that time... it was so strange and... crazy..." The intermittent words made Sistaer seem to have returned to his youth, and there was a pain on his indifferent face that he had never felt when his brother wanted to kill him.
"After the repeated questioning of the Elf King, my mother told me about my life experience, and in front of all the elves... all the Polyvian elves were angry. King Imo persuaded all the tribes who wanted to kill me and decided to use exile as punishment. In this way, I was exiled, forever... from that beautiful fairyland that was always full of white flowers. On the way out, I couldn't figure out why my mother wanted to do this? In my heart, she has always been a gentle woman, but... a little cold. However, the God of Doom still has no
Let me go, when I saw Yaen on the edge of the forest, I thought my friend was going to send me the last journey. After all, we were our best friends no matter what kind of bloodline, but when I rushed forward happily and prepared to tell him how happy I was. When I was about to be forced to leave my hometown, he raised the white oak bow I made for him with my own hands. The sharp arrow pierced on my limbs seemed to hit my chest directly... Do you know what that felt? He was cold all over... He tore open the wound of his heart that had already been wounded by his mother!!"
Looking at the excited and angry face, Moya suddenly felt that she saw herself in the mirror. It turned out that she was like this when she was shouting loudly to revenge and to give those who had betrayed her more violent revenge, such distortion, such pain.
"I think you know... the feeling of betrayal of being considered a best friend..."
Looking at Sistale who was already lying on the ground and unable to move, Yann cruelly told the fact that he had been hiding in his heart; "I never regarded you as a friend, but a competitor. Now I won, maybe the Elf King of Imo and other elves will think you have left, but what I want to be sure is that you will not surpass me in the future, and you will never surpass me even in the outside world."
When the cold elf blade pierced into Sistale's heart, he was kicked down the Lynch Falls that were dozens of Kalin (meters) high, the reality of being betrayed by everyone completely hit Sistale's psychological defense and fell into the Sarison River that passed through the foggy forest without any resistance.
If it weren't for being rescued by Bandu, a traveler who was resting near the forest, he might have died as Yaen thought.
From the seal of the only valuable Mithril pendant on Xistale, Bandu knew that he was saving a mixed-blood elves. Unlike the white elves who rejected the mixed-blood, the night elves have always liked these mixed-blood descendants. They are stronger and smarter than ordinary elves, that is, they have the precise mastery of magic by the white elves and have the advantage of the night elves for close-range attacks. If the injured young mixed-blood elves are sent back to the location of his other half of his relatives, the dark merchants who have always had secret transactions with the night elves will receive a considerable additional income.
In a coma with a high fever, Sistale was taken on a flight to the Eastern Continent by merchant Bandu. He was in a coma throughout the voyage. Occasionally, he was expecting that everything that happened was an illusory nightmare. But when he came to the majestic night capital and saw the father whom his mother never wanted to mention, Sistale was really desperate. He began to hate all the things he had trusted.
Under the auspices of the elders, Sistaer swore to betray his once extremely firm belief and threw himself into the cold and bloody embrace of the God of Darkness.
Night Shadow God accepted this underage mixed-blood elf as his new citizen and fairly gave him the seal he deserved as a night elf.
"For nearly six years since then, the endless cruel training in the martial arts tower was the whole of my life. Later, when the elder discovered that I was different from an ordinary mixed-race child, he decided to send me to the Temple of Light to be an undercover spy. He spent the next nineteen years in the South Continent. Except for the information I collected from the night capital report, I rarely set foot on the East Continent again..."
"No matter what, it is the Temple of Light. Will they accept a half-elves of unknown origin so easily?"
"Didn't I answer this question eight months ago? The God of War Orpheric is one of the few gods with multiple attributes at the same time. He belongs to the same camp as the chaotic night god Haas, so there is no conflict of faith. In addition, the current Grand Master Sect is also a dark night elf, and he always takes special care of me as a mixed-race child, otherwise even if I have the strength, I would not be able to reach the status of a Paladin today."
"Then... you will blatantly tell the Temple of War God that you are a mixed-race identity? In this case, even if they are willing to accept it, you will not treat each other sincerely. Xenophobia is a knot that every race will have, especially humans. They never accept species other than themselves!!" Due to human xenophobia, Moya, who suffered from it, deeply hated it.
"It can be said that the Temple of War is definitely an exception. There are many temple warriors and believers there who are from mixed-race children, half-orcs, dragon men, half-elves... Because of this, my identity as a mixed-race child is so prominent."
Since the Northern Alliance has been occasionally fighting on the border with the connected Western Continent in recent years, when civil strife occurred in Ming and Su, the newly appointed Fahain sent Sistaer to Heinvega, the Eastern Continent, and it is necessary to find out whether the other countries near Ming and Su had the intention to send troops.
What the leaders of the Holy Sect of Light are worried that if the Eastern Continent, which is constantly expanding its military, join forces with the Northern Continent Ice Crystal, the Western Continent will definitely be attacked from both sides.
After receiving a letter from the Santo at the Wilson port in Heisen, Sistall temporarily changed his plan to go to the north of White Rose, and was commissioned by Bilfit to hunt down Moya who was hiding in the underground cave.
"This is what happened? Have you never thought about returning to Polyvia to take revenge on the Yann who deceived and betrayed first? At least you have to ask your mother why you have to announce your life experience. You are her biological child. Why did she do this? There must be a reason?" Moya was very puzzled about Sistale's failure to retaliate. Since he had such good conditions, why did he not go back for so many years.
"That's why I said I envy you... Few people can do their ideas like you, and use everything for revenge. Although they are willful, they are determined to do so." Although they hate, Sistale did not avenge Yaen. He knew that it was not qualified to fight the Mist Forest with his current identity alone. As the largest settlement of white elves in the Western Continent, the total number of residents of Porivia is above the Night Capital, and once his undercover identity is exposed, he will be abandoned by the Great Elder. The anger of hatred has been suppressed in pain in his heart, making Sistale, who was already speechless, even more silent. Until last night, he had peeked into Moya's inner memories and seemed to have returned to the night more than 20 years ago.
In Xistaer's opinion, Moya neither has a particularly heavy appearance or a strong background. Even the only magic that can be proud of has turned her into an ordinary mortal because of the forbidden law seal. But in people's eyes, such an ordinary person has a firm belief that surpasses ordinary people.
He survived in a prison that was enough to torture people madly, used a strategy in the tunnel to escape his attack three times, and returned from the abyss demon realm of demons with the glory of the war priest. In order to save his brother who had no blood relatives, he would rather sacrifice his vitality in order to win, and gave up everything in order to retaliate against his former friends who betrayed him... All of this made Sistaer admire and doubt. It had nothing to do with gender, no matter race, and just the belief that he would never give up made him envious. If he could make up his mind to fight back and try to kill him in the past, he might have a completely different fate. Whether it was death or being chased, he might not be as full of regrets as he had regretted for his cowardice back then.
"The story is over. What are your plans?" This is Moya's purpose that has been longing for Sistaer until now. She still can't understand. This guy is usually very cautious about his words, so why is there so much nonsense today? If he still wants to fight, she will accompany him to the end.
"Do you know, before leaving the Night City, the Great Elder secretly talked to me, and he asked me to secretly monitor you. Unlike the Great Elder, the Great Elder Anster is a very ambitious guy. He originally thought that he would become the new ruler of the Night City, but your rapid rise gave him a sense of crisis. He was worried that once the Lord of the God of the Night City, he would hand over the power of the Night Elf to you, so he asked me to observe your every move secretly. If there is anything wrong, report it to him immediately, and ask me to kill at the right time. Be sure to remove you before completing the mission and returning to the Night City. At least you cannot let the Lord of the God of the Lord think that it was my move. It should be done as if he was tragic to avenge his enemies."
