1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King-Chapter 189 - 189 About the Elves (2)

189 About the Elves (2)

There were often people who found High Elves a bunch of sissies who couldn’t lift a sword because of their image. They weren’t filled with feral strength like their distant relatives in Emerald Province, nor were they muscular like the Ice Elves in Coldstone Province who were able to go out hunting in the snow with half a beast hide draped over them. It gave them a rugged beauty.

However, under their seemingly fragile and slender appearance was a power that far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

To be precise, if one chose to start as a High Elf in-game, the player’s initial numerical stats would be much higher than that of the other races.

After all, it was difficult to call the High Elves a mortal race after the Phoenix Holy Fire’s blessing. For example, the few of them could jump four to five meters high to jump onto the ship. They naturally didn’t rely on the explosive power provided by their muscles. William didn’t sense the aura of magic at all. This was a certain innate spell. It was similar to a faerie using her scale powder to hypnotize, create dreams, and blur distances. It was a ‘phenomenon.’

However, on the other hand, compared to true extraordinary races like faeries that relied on a certain concept to be born, the High Elves could only be considered half an extraordinary race. They still needed to rely on reproduction to maintain their race after all.

As the Phoenix Holy Fire maintained this, its favor was both a blessing and a cage. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

The blessing of the Holy Fire only lasted in Ava State and the area enveloped by the mist. Once they left this range, the blessings the High Elves received would inevitably weaken and dissipate over time. Players who chose to start the game as a High Elf would enter a state where their levels increased in the early and middle stages of the game, but their stats remained the same and even regressed at times.

As for the geographical limitations of the Phoenix Holy Fire’s blessing, it was an important reason why the High Elves had always been conservative before the rise of humanity and had never expanded into the Vic Continent or elsewhere.

Later on, in the Bronze Age, after humans rose to rule the Vic Continent, Ava State experienced a crisis of faith.

Back then, the elves on Ava State still called themselves elves. Their race didn’t have the prefix ‘high’ before their names. Back then, many elves, who had been tortured by long and stagnant lives to the point of collapse and had always yearned for change, saw the passion that life deserved from humans and the potential to change the current situation.

They believed that the fake eternal life brought about by the Holy Fire’s blessing had harmed the entire race, so they decided to resist the shackles brought about by fire and mist and follow humans into a new era.

In the beginning, they planned on extinguishing the Phoenix Holy Fire and severing the King of Mist’s legacy, causing the entire elven race to completely lose their blessings and become a true mortal race that also suffered aging, sickness, and death after birth.

For this reason, they stirred up a rebellion in the name of freedom, and the outcome of the rebellion failed unsurprisingly under the might of the King of Mist.

However, the King of Mist of that time was a wise sage. He realized that this zeitgeist was shaking the foundation of Ava State’s Holy Fire Blessing system. Therefore, he didn’t choose to execute the rebels and destroy their bodies to create an immortal monument for their beliefs. He finally exiled those people and allowed anyone who agreed with their philosophy to leave with them. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

Therefore, the first and only race migration in the history of the elves began. This migration lasted for more than 50 years and a total of six batches departed.

The first fleet crossed the Shattered Sea, passed through Fairy Bay, and arrived at Ravenwood. They signed a contract with the Holy Tree there and became the future Forest Elves. The second fleet crossed the White Sea, passed through the Thousand Snakes Archipelago, and landed near a volcano in the Dragonspine Mountains north of the Seething Plains. Then, they abruptly disappeared a hundred years later, leaving behind the Legendary fortress city, Molten Iron City.

The third and fourth fleets went to the Orsis Continent one after another. It was said that they had even established a brilliant civilization there. However, a few hundred years later, the Orsis Continent encountered a Moon Realm crisis. The Void Sovereign eventually sank the entire continent into the sea, and the descendants of these two fleets were all destroyed. The fifth and sixth fleets headed north. One of them landed in the Cold Plains and signed an alliance with the local Ice Giants, becoming the future Ice Elves. As for the other, they transmigrated to the Dragon Bone Islands and continued north because they wanted to see what was in the extreme north of the world. All communications with them were lost.

From then on, there were no large-scale race migrations in the history of the elves. However, Ava State still maintained the responsive system. Be it in the era when the King of Mist ruled or in the later eras of the seven free city-states, anyone who doubted the Phoenix Holy Fire blessing system could choose to give up their blessings and last names and leave Ava State as a ranger.

The High Elves who had given up on the blessings were still much stronger than ordinary people in terms of agility and perception, but they were inferior to ordinary humans in terms of stats like strength and endurance. Coupled with the emptiness in their souls caused by the loss of blessings, many rangers suffered from an illness called Elemental Mutation. Therefore, the people on the Vic Continent always had a stereotype of the High Elves as sickly and weak.
