Lord God Investigator

Flying all night, heading south along the coastline, seeing the port of Neverwinter City and then heading west, the chief mage used up all his fifth-level spell slots, and finally saw an island at the intersection of the sea level and the skyline approaching slowly from a distance. Get bigger slowly.

At this time, the sun was rising slowly, and there was a light mist floating on the sea, which was as magnificent as a painting in the morning light.

Yongju Island is the last refuge of the elves in Faerûn. Looking down from the air, you can only see the lush jungle of giant trees in the mist. The tree canopy covers the entire island, full of green.

The chief mage turned on the arcane vision to see through the hidden magic circle of Eternal Judgment Island. He wore the emblem of the Silver Moon Alliance. After the magic light flashed, the island's protective magic circle opened the channel, allowing him to enter the island's defense circle.

If he were not an archmage, a loyal believer of the goddess Mythra, and an important member of the Silver Moon Alliance, Chief Mage Ditra would not be qualified to set foot on this pure paradise.

The Archmage was flying on the Galloping Horse Plains of Yongju Island. A sharp and high-pitched eagle chirped in the distance. Elf guards wearing gilt mithril chain mail rode up on feathered eagles and surrounded him. An eagle flew around him.

Ditra showed the Silver Moon emblem to the captain of the Elf Guard who led the team, and said loudly: "I am Ditra, the chief mage of the Knights of Mysterious Fire. In the name of the goddess Mythra, I come to see the allies of the Silver Moon Alliance. , the great Elf Queen Anlariel!”

The Silver Moon emblem is a magical token that cannot be counterfeited. The captain of the Feather Eagle Cavalry only glanced at it and confirmed the identity of the visitor.

"Take me to see Her Majesty the Queen quickly. I have an urgent military situation!"

"Your Excellency Master, you are a distinguished guest and an old friend of Yongju Island. Please fly with our feathered eagle."

The elf captain gave him a chest-thumping salute, flapped his wings on his flying eagle and accelerated, leading the archmage in the direction of Lucipa City.

The feathered eagle flew very fast, and the archmage's dragon wing technique was also extremely fast. Soon, the group of people flew to the Andulis River and followed the sparkling river up the river, which was flowing towards the Elf King City. The city of Lucipa.

The city of Leuhipa is a magical city. All the buildings in the city are "grown". The huge sacred tree grows under the careful cultivation of the elves. After the transformation of natural magic, the tree body grows into the cavity of the house. The branches are woven into furniture doors and windows.

The Elf Eagle Knights guided the Archmage to fly to the tallest sacred tree in the center of the city. The branches at the crown of this sacred tree were woven into a huge platform, and a magnificent palace was located on the platform.

Adhering to the consistent decorative style of the elves, the palace has oval arches, gorgeous decorative reliefs carved on the palace walls, towering spires, and magic crystals shining on the spires.

The Archmage was not in the mood to admire the scenery of the Elf Palace, so he landed at the palace gate and quickly walked into the palace corridor.

Arriving at the main hall of the Elf Palace, the Chief Mage walked to the throne and performed a breast caressing ceremony to Queen Anlariel.

The Elf Queen Anlariel is a beautiful woman whose age cannot be discerned. She has a graceful and elegant temperament, beautiful robes, and extraordinary beauty. She smiles and nods to the Archmage.

"Her Majesty the Queen, please send the Elf Navy to immediately intercept the fleet of the Bewitching Demon King Bradero!"

The Archmage spoke eagerly and went straight to the topic, explaining everything that happened in Amn in brief words. As expected, the Elf Queen frowned and said: "The elves have not intervened in human disputes in Faerûn for nearly a hundred years. This time will be no exception, Master Mage, I'm sorry, I can't let the elven warriors sacrifice their lives for the meaningless conquest of mankind.".

Chief Mage Ditra was silent for a while, gathered his thoughts, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, destroying the evil forces of Bredero is not just a conquest among humans. Bredero's heresy spreads, and the elven kingdom Sooner or later, they will be destroyed because of this, and the elves will turn their backs on the elven gods, or die under the guns of red believers, or become red believers!"

Queen Anlariel smiled and shook her head and said: "You are too alarmist. Elves are different from humans. Our belief in gods is more firm and pious. Short-lived humans are driven by desire to seek quick success and quick gain, so they will commit betrayal and change their faith." the depravity of mankind.”

"Dragon, elf, lich, vampire..."

The Archmage sneered and said: "These immortal species are naturally superior beings with superior talents than other races. I dare to assert that once the followers of Bredlow's heresy spread across the continent, the immortal species will definitely lose all their original nobility. Status and racial advantages turned into disadvantages, and the advanced races were reduced to backward races, far away from the center stage of the Faerûn continent, becoming a marginalized group, gradually declining, and eventually being forgotten in the long river of history."

Queen Anlariel was a little angry. The archmage repeatedly said shocking words, which made her very dissatisfied. Due to the fact that this human mage had a high status in the Silver Moon Alliance, the queen did not immediately order him to be expelled from the royal court.

Patiently, the Elf Queen asked: "Then please explain why the Elf Kingdom was destroyed by Bradero's heresy."

"The elves are gifted and born with gifts from the gods. However, the breeding efficiency of immortal species is very low, and their individual learning efficiency and growth rate are far inferior to humans."

The Archmage considered the words and explained seriously: "Elves have a lifespan of more than three hundred years, and it takes one hundred years to reach adulthood. The pace of life is several times slower than that of humans. The learning efficiency of elves is also lower than that of humans, and the accumulation of experience required A lot more than humans.”

"So what?" the Elf Queen said displeased: "Because of our long lifespan, the magical knowledge and magical creation technology inherited from our ancestors are more complete, and this is why we have magical creations that surpass the humans in Faerun."

The Archmage said seriously: "The key is that elves are good at inheriting their ancestors, close to nature, and their quiet and peaceful living customs make elves not as eager for progress as humans."

As he spoke, he took out the firearms and bombs captured in Amn from the dimensional bag and showed these weapons to the Elf Queen.

"I also carefully studied Bradero's red heresy from the confiscated books and magic video discs." The archmage continued: "In addition to being people-oriented and people believing in themselves, the core of this heresy also has an important point. It is about developing productivity, constantly innovating, developing new technologies, and constantly creating tools that allow people to work, fight, and live more efficiently."

"Can you imagine? If the red believers spread throughout Faerûn, the productivity will continue to develop, and the development speed will become faster and faster."

The Archmage said: "A giant dragon slept for a hundred years. When it woke up, it found that humans had built an iron eagle as big as the dragon. It slept for another hundred years, and woke up to find that humans had created an iron eagle that could be as big as the dragon. A huge magic ship flying in the star realm, the kind of magic ship that can destroy mountains with one shot! The rule that the dragon becomes more powerful as it sleeps will be rewritten, so that the more sleeping the dragon becomes, the more it lags behind and the weaker its power becomes. "

"Since the continent of Faerun hundreds of years ago, the innovation of tools, weapons, and technology has basically stagnated. The technology inherited by the elves from their ancestors has always been far ahead of humans. Elves with slow-paced life habits, if they face Red believers who seize the day, all your leads will be quickly overtaken. After one or two generations, you will be like a giant dragon, sleeping and growing at a speed that increases your strength, far behind the red believers' crazy research and development of new technologies. The speed of tools, new weapons.”

If Bredlow's red heresy is allowed to spread, will the dragon become weaker and weaker as it sleeps? The elves can no longer enjoy a comfortable and peaceful life. In their comfort, they will be overtaken by the rapidly developing humans and become a marginalized and backward race?

Queen Anlariel's expression became serious and she began to think about the Archmage's words.
