"The Elven Forest in the past?"
Cooing Bird and Salty Meow's hearts skipped a beat when they heard this.
Salty Meow thought for a while and asked curiously.
"Could it be … that the current Elven Forest is a smaller version? The area where the Elven Kingdom is located has already become the territory of the humans? "
Nature Saintess Alice nodded lightly upon hearing her words. She then started to tell the story of the Elven Forest and the elven capital.
The Elven Forest had a long history.
No one knew when the Elven Forest had appeared.
Legends said that the Elven Forest was a forest attached to the World Tree after it was born.
There were also legends that said that during the Twilight Era of the Elven Forest, the World Tree had created the largest and most luxuriant forest in the Segers World in order to bring light and warmth back to the earth.
However, no matter which legend it was, the birth of the Elven Forest could not be separated from the shadow of the World Tree, and the stories of the Elven Forest were often related to the World Tree.
The Elven Forest of the past stretched from the Endless Ocean to the west, to the Arctic Ice Plains to the north, to the Death Desert to the south, and to the east, with the Vimur River as the boundary and the Fertile Plains across the river, spanning millions of square kilometers.
Instead, the World Tree was only a part of the Elven Forest.
At that time, the Gloom Mountain Range was not called the Gloom Mountain Range. It had a nicer name, the Emerald Mountain.
The Emerald Mountain itself was only a mountain range in the Elven Forest.
In ancient times, the peak area covered by the Elven Forest was actually the territory of the Elven Kingdom during the Silver Era.
The other races were attached to the outskirts of the Elven Forest. Most of them were subordinate races of the Elves and received protection and help from the Elves.
At that time, the Elven Forest was the center of the entire continent. All intelligent creatures were proud to have the opportunity to go to the Elven Kingdom and the sacred land of Jade Lengcui.
Of course, all of this had disappeared with the battle of the gods.
At the very beginning, there was a conflict between the new True Gods and the Ancient Gods …
They destroyed the entire Emerald Mountain in a battle, turning the once vibrant forest into a black wasteland. From then on, the Emerald Mountain Range was named the Gloom Mountain Range.
However, as the owner of the Emerald Mountain, the Tree of World did not pursue the matter.
The Mother Goddess of the Elven Race had only reprimanded the True God of Faith who was fighting, but she didn't expect that she would walk further and further away from the True God of Faith.
Until the Thousand Year War of the Gods, when the gods besieged the World Tree.
The thousand-year War of the Gods had led to the fall of the World Tree, and the Segers Plane's origin had suffered a setback as a result. Mana had fallen in all directions, and even the planar passages had been closed.
After the World Tree fell, the Elven Forest was divided among the various races.
Among them, the area adjacent to the Fertile Plains was occupied by humans. They cut down trees, opened up fields, built roads, and built cities. The once lush forests had gradually disappeared and were replaced by castles and towns.
Most of the regions around the Black Mountain Range were claimed by the Beastmen and managed in name.
Of course, it was also because the Elven Forest was big enough, and there were enough magical beasts living in the Elven Forest. Coupled with the fact that the forest was rich enough, there wasn't a single race that could fully develop the Elven Forest under the obstruction of the other races.
They kept each other in check, and this allowed most of the Elven Forest to exist peacefully until now.
However, there was only one thing that the True Gods behind the various races had in common.
That was, the race created by the World Tree, the intelligent life that was originally used to manage the continent — the Elves.
Unlike the other races, the Elves were a race created by a True God.
Since ancient times, only the World Tree had held the priesthood of life.
Other than the World Tree, perhaps only the Death God knew a thing or two about the mysteries of life.
Being able to create intelligent life that could reproduce was an ability that even the True Gods were amazed by.
Therefore … the hunting of the Elves by the various races was, in essence, because the True Gods behind them were worried that the World Tree had a backup plan.
As the center of the Elven civilization, the Elven Royal City had naturally experienced massacres and looting by various races.
"So, the Elven Royal City is located in the area occupied by humans?"
Hearing this, Salty Meow asked curiously.
"That's right."
Alice nodded and continued …
The Elven Royal City … or rather, Moonlight City.
It was a city that was opened by the Elven Royal Family and a group of original Elves at the edge of the Elven Forest after leaving the World Tree.
This city was also the first stop for the Elves to communicate with other races, and was once the political, economic, and cultural center of the world.
Of course, that was already in the past.
After the World Tree fell, the Elven Forest was divided, and the original Elven Royal City was naturally not spared.
As the symbol of the Elven civilization, this beautiful Elven Royal City would inevitably suffer a devastating blow …
The humans invaded this city and forced all the residents to convert, but the Elves all refused.
Then … what they faced was the merciless slaughter of the humans …
It was said that at the very beginning, the orders from the higher-ups of the human race were to slaughter all the residents of the city.
However … the Elves' appearance was too outstanding. Out of greed, the human nobles who invaded the city only executed the older Elves and the male Elves.
As for the young Elves and female Elves, they were tacitly sold into slavery …
Of course, to the arrogant Elves, this was a humiliation that was even more unacceptable than death.
What used to be the capital of the elves 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 castles.
At this point, there was no longer an elf city called Moonlight City in the world. Instead, it was replaced by a human city called Maple Leaf City.
All traces of the elves had been completely erased by humans.
"Maple Leaf City?"
Upon hearing this, Coot frowned slightly.
"This name … sounds familiar. I think I've heard it from someone before."
She muttered.
"Maple Leaf City?"
Salty Meow was slightly taken aback, and his expression was a little strange.
"Pfft … Sister Gugu, do you still remember the name of the human earl that Merril robbed?"
Cooing Bird was stunned at first, and then it had a strange expression on its face.
"I think … it's called Earl Maple Leaf."
Salty Meow nodded.
"I specifically asked Merril. Maple Leaf City is the largest city in the territory of Earl Maple Leaf. It is also the capital of the human border count."
After saying that, she and Coot Bird looked at each other.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
It felt like …
They already had a goal to explore the new map.
