PS: Some people say that Suria has too little screen time as the female lead. After thinking about it, I agree. I will greatly increase the female knight's screen time in the future.
Old World, Brittany, Count Glamorgan, Jean Town, Laing's castle, second-floor reception room.
"This is Aisley's stuff. It seems like you know what the elves like." There was wood elven fruit wine and exquisite wood elven pastries on the table. Tegris naturally sat in the main seat as soon as he entered. Laing didn't mind at all and sat in the guest seat.
This wasn't because Laing was a coward, but because Tegris had the right to do so. There was no need to mention his great achievements. As one of the greatest heroes of the Order Faction, Tegris deserved Laing's treatment, not to mention that he was just a count. With Tegris' status, if he went to the Empire, Emperor Karl-franz of the Empire would definitely open the capital gates and lead the great nobles to personally welcome him.
If it wasn't for Tegris, perhaps the Empire would have ceased to exist.
Angran didn't come up. He said that he wanted to go back and get some fodder for his cow, so he wouldn't follow. Anyway, he wasn't interested in what Laing and Tegris were talking about.
The air conditioner in the reception room was turned on. Laing's butler, Katzenberg, wasn't there, so he immediately asked Morgiana to accompany him. Her status as the Lake Goddess Witch was enough.
Tegris was proficient in all known spells of the nine elements, including the Eight Wind Magic and the Advanced Eight Wind Magic. When it came to spellcasting in this world, other than the Ancient Sage's servant, Tegris's spellcasting ability was the best in the world.
"Nice to meet you, Your Excellency Tegris." The Lake Goddess Witch was wearing a white floral floral dress. She sat beside Laing and tidied her dress, revealing her slender and straight legs and white fish-shaped high heels.
"You're Morgiana, the Lake Goddess Witch? I heard that you were injured … Yes, indeed, the Wind of Magic is unstable in your body. You still need time to recuperate. " Tegris nodded. "Your mana is slowly recovering. I have a bottle of Horus Baeta's life mana potion. Take it and you'll recover faster."
The Mage took out a bottle of potion and placed it in Morgiana's hand.
"Thank you so much." Morgiana's beautiful face was full of gratitude. She took the potion and put it into her arms. The Lake Goddess Witch had always been eager to recover quickly so that she could come out and take charge of all kinds of work. She no longer had to stay in the Fairy Tower like a waste.
As for leaving this place, it was already impossible for the Lake Goddess Witch. Morgiana had already ordered the Holy Maiden Cultivation Union to move all of her things from the Principality of Kaka Song to here. In the future, she would stay here permanently. If she had something to do, she would go out. If she had nothing to do, she would come back to the Lake Goddess Tower to do her research.
"Laing Makado, I'm here because of you. I'm sure you've noticed that the Chaos in the North is becoming more and more frequent." Tegris did not beat around the bush. He saw that Laing could speak the Elvish language, so he spoke directly to him. "The longships and dragon boats from the northern wastelands are coming south repeatedly. The barbarians who believe in Chaos must have received the will of the God of Darkness. Even the demons of Chaos who are rarely active are showing signs of entering the inland. First, there was Prince Sigwald, the Beauty, and then there was Egil Stillbjörn, the Red Eye. I'm sure you know what this means."
"I understand. The creatures of this world will soon face another catastrophe." Laing nodded.
"Many people know about the Final Moment, but they all treat these things as warnings and proverbs. But the Final Moment really exists." Tegris' voice was filled with faint disappointment. "The mortals are always fighting for power and profit. They always wait until the barrier of this world is broken by the Evil Gods. Every time, only when the land is covered in blood, will a hero stand up to face the threat of Chaos and drive the Chaos army back to the realm of Chaos. But Chaos is eternal, and the perseverance of mortals is always so short. Even if we beat back Chaos, the war and corrosion caused by the war will make the Evil Gods happy. The wounds left by the mortal world will never heal."
"I once advocated the construction of a great alliance (the great Holy War) more than a hundred years ago, and defeated the Eternal God of Chaos, 'Anointed' Isaac Kuval and his Chaos army. But with the disappearance of the enemy, the fragile alliance between mortals was once again broken. The elven nobles of Ossouin began to plot and plot endless palace coups." Tegris said to Laing, "Eichahn has risen."
"The third Eternal God of Chaos?" Laing had heard of Eichahn's name from the Lady of the Lake.
"Eichahn, formerly known as Didrick, was born during the great Holy War. He later became a priest and paladin of the Church of Justice in Nord. He believed in the God of Justice." Tegris told Eichahn's story. "But one time when he was sorting out the scrolls, he saw a taboo scroll. Perhaps this was what the God of Darkness wanted him to see … that the world will eventually be destroyed."
"Just this alone made his faith waver?" Laing asked doubtfully.
"I don't know. I only know that at the same time, he also found out that he had barbarian blood in him. His father was a Champion of Chaos." Tegris narrated the story tirelessly. "Didrick, who learned the so-called truth, was in great pain. He chose to go to the Church of Justice's cathedral in the Empire's capital to seek enlightenment. But the priest and archbishop of the Church of Justice refuted his strange words. He was also arrested as a cultist for spreading doomsday theories. In the end, he tried praying to the gods but to no avail."
"All hope has been extinguished. From then on, Didrick hated everything. He went to the Chaotic Wastelands alone and spent more than a hundred years there. The Sacred Warrior Didrick has already become Eichaen. He has already become the Eternal God Chosen of Chaos and is slowly unifying the tribes …" Tigris' tone was calm. "When he goes south, the final moment will arrive."
"Is there no way to stop it?" Morgiana asked, "We can form an expeditionary force …"
"There is no way. Other than Chaos itself, nothing can move around in the northern wastelands and the Chaotic Wastelands further north for a long time. No creature can do that." Tegris shook his head. "We can only be prepared. But it is easier said than done to get the mortals to unite. Even in Ossouin, a blessed land created by the ancient saints, the inner and outer kingdoms are severely divided. The elves in the outer kingdoms have to constantly be on guard against the invasion of the dark elves and the raids of the barbarians in the north. The inner kingdoms are in a peaceful situation. The Phoenix King, His Majesty Finnuba, keeps himself locked in the Phoenix King's court all year round and only shows himself occasionally."
Morgiana naturally knew the environment of the Chaotic Wastelands. The Lake Goddess did not say anything else.
"What about Prince Tyrion?" Laing thought about the problem.
"Since my brother became the War Lord, he has always wanted to unify all the forces in Ossouin. But … this is not allowed by the Eternal Queen Alariel, because Alariel's core political philosophy is to never let the power of the entire country fall into the hands of a dictator. So balance is everywhere in the Elven Council. My brother and I have benefited from it, but also suffered because of it." Tegris discussed the internal situation of the High Elves with Laing.
In this world, almost all forces had a characteristic, which was that they rarely had a unified government. Due to the limitations of productivity, transportation, and communication, each force was formed by many independent kingdoms. The dwarves, the elves, the Empire, and the Brittany were the same. If there was less external pressure, such as the southern kingdoms, there would never be a unified government.
This method was correct. Otherwise, when the enemy invaded the border, the Chaos or the Green Skin would have destroyed the entire province before the army in the capital was ready to set off.
(Just like Zhu Di's fifth expedition to Mongolia, the vanguard troops had already exchanged fire with the Tatars on the prairie. Many Ming Dynasty troops were still gathering in Tongzhou, waiting to set off.)
Only when the external threat was great would these forces be forced to complete the integration. Whether it was Charlemagne, the first Knight King Arthur, or the savior Ludwig, they all completed the unification in this way. If it were not for the invasion of Ossouin by the Chaos Demons, Alariel, who was originally a navigator, would not have been able to become the Phoenix King.
The politics of the High Elves were somewhat similar to that of the Brittany. The Phoenix King was the chosen one of the High Elves. However, just like the witch of the Lake Goddess, Morgiana, who supervised and influenced the direction of the entire kingdom, the High Elves also had the Eternal Queen. The Eternal Queen was generally born of the former Phoenix King and the Eternal Queen. She and the Phoenix King were the supreme rulers of the High Elves. When the Phoenix King had serious problems in his governance, she could hold the Phoenix King accountable. For example, the famous "Boor King" Moville took responsibility for the failure of the war and walked into the Holy Fire of Assouin and turned into ashes.
Therefore, the High Elves also had a two-headed political system. The court of the Phoenix King was located in the south of the Inner Circle. The head of the High Elves was located in the capital of Ossouin in the Kingdom of Etain, Lothar. The Eternal Queen's court was located in the Valley of Eden in the Kingdom of Avalon in the north of the Inner Circle.
Both Tyrion and Tegris were the Guardians of Ossouin. This was a reward from the Phoenix King, Finnuba, for their strength, magic, and prestige. At the same time, it was also a kind of restriction.
As the Guardians of Ossouin, Tyrion and Tegris were controlled by the Phoenix King. They did not have the ability to declare war. Tyrion was also the partner of the Eternal Queen, Alariel. As a supreme mage, Tegris was also subject to many restrictions.
In other words, the strength of the Tai brothers was not strong enough to suppress the entire High Elves.
"Humans are the same, Your Excellency Tegris. Everyone has forgotten the pain after the scars have healed." Laing said with a bitter smile, "After Ludwig the Savior ended his rule of more than fifty years, the Kurfürst began to fight among themselves again and again. The original united front has fallen apart."
"But Emperor Karl-franz is different. He is a talented human emperor." Tegris nodded and said to Laing, "This time, other than meeting you, I'm going to Brunswick to meet him. Do you want to come with me?"
"You want to meet Emperor Karl-franz? But I want to hold the wedding on the day of Lilith … "Laing was a little embarrassed. Of course, he was willing to go to the capital of the Empire with Tegris. Tegris's great halo and supreme status in the hearts of the nobles of the Empire would bring a lot of convenience to Laing. This idea had nothing to lose.
However, he was going to get married. After the wedding, he would go to the Fairy Tower in the Lake with Suria for their honeymoon. This was the arrangement of the Fairy Tower in the Lake.
"I know. I will wait for you to finish everything before I leave. During this time, I will go to the King's Forest in the Isolorin Forest to meet the King of the Forest, Ao Laing, and Queen Alariel. It is time to discuss with our compatriots how to deal with the threat of Chaos." "I'll respect your time, and I hope you'll respect me when the time comes. You can bring your people, including your wife," Teglis said very understandingly.
"Then I have no problem with that." Laing had no objections now. He was even a little embarrassed that Tegris was so considerate of him.
After chatting for a while, the sky outside gradually darkened. Laing then said, "The lady has prepared dinner. She will invite Tegris to the banquet later."
"Okay." Tegris nodded calmly. As one of the few people who knew the truth of the Fairy Tower in the Lake, the great mage certainly knew that the real identity of the Fairy Tower in the Lake was Lilith, the High Elf Goddess of the Moon. So he also knew what kind of divine favor Laing had received. So far, Laing was worthy of Lilith's favor in terms of demeanor, confidence, and bravery.
Lilith's First Chosen One suddenly joked, "Your brother is stronger, but you are the one who is famous. Why is that? Do you have a conflict with him? "
"That is not the case." Laing smiled and shook his head. "You may not believe it, but my brother is tired of killing. In his heart, making food for his cattle and sheep is more important than fighting and killing."
"I see … Assur is also in the same situation. Many nobles and mages in the inner kingdom are more willing to devote their energy to aesthetics, art, opera, and music. Farming is also a hobby. I understand." Tegris was not surprised by this situation. Many archmages in the Tower of Horus lived such a life. "But I still hope that Mr. Anglo will stand up when necessary. This world needs heroes."
"Pfft …" Laing laughed. "Haha, he will. My brother is never isolated. When he thinks he needs help, he will stand up … Mr. Tegris, please."
The tall mage got up and prepared to go to the Fairy Tower in the lake with Laing to have dinner with Lilith. Morgiana followed, and the Lake Goddess Witch followed behind Laing. The three of them went to the Fairy Tower in the lake together.
At this time, Olica, who was wearing a black-and-white maid dress, appeared. "Master? Ah! "
The dark elf saw Tegris, who was wearing a blue and white robe and holding a staff.
Olica's expression changed again and again. Finally, she smiled eerily. "I was wondering where the disgusting perfume came from. It turns out that the high elves have come to master's castle. Tegris, you have come to the old world."
"It's you?" Tegris looked at Olica, who was wearing a black-and-white lace maid dress, white suspenders, and a maid's headdress. He said casually, "Prince Jerian has always regarded it as a great shame to exchange you for him … I didn't expect you to be a human maid."
"What's wrong? Are the high elves coming to catch me? "
