Free Web NovelChapter 921: Chapter 468: Breaking Into the Supreme Forest, the Elf Grand Speaker’s Compromise (Part 3)
He managed to escape the Underground City and roamed the continent as an elf.
At that time, the status of the small elves was very high, and they received a lot of help from people all over the world.
The treatment of small elves, who won over everyone who liked them, aroused deep jealousy in the demon spirits.
He envied his race for being trapped in the Underground City and unable to escape, envying the status and power of the small elves.
So, after returning to the Underground City, he obtained the Time Needle from his demon spirit companions.
He wanted to see where the Time Needle would point if he viewed his race’s experiences from his perspective.
So the Time Needle began to turn slowly, pointing him towards the direction of "possibilities."
Following the needle’s direction to the place of "possibilities," he found the damaged high-level astral research ship of the illithids.
Inside were records of the illithids’ use of Spiritual Ability and some principles of an optimized "Substitute Ritual."
The ecstatic demon realized this was an opportunity.
He sacrificed the optimized "Substitute Ritual" to the Supreme Eagle, in exchange for Its modification of the ritual.
And the demon turned into a small elf, began searching for "kin" who hadn’t gone to the Golden Land across the continent.
Under the protection of the Supreme Eagle’s magic and the demon’s own peculiarities, the small elves noticed something strange about their companions, and one by one they were captured by the roaming demons.
...
In the side hall.
Louis listened to the Grand Speaker recounting the events of those years, frowned, and said:
"But if you merely occupied the bodies of the small elves, how did it turn out like this?"
The Grand Speaker shook his head and said:
"You are mistaken, at that time, how many small elves were there on the continent, most had already gone to the Golden Land.
Even if we could occupy these individuals, what could we change?"
Without a large base number, even occupying the power of the small elves, the success would be very limited.
The Grand Speaker said softly:
"So the King of Demons at that time came up with another plan; he first imprisoned the kin who had turned into small elves.
Then he arranged for an attack on the demon spirit who brought about the change, stole the Time Needle, and hoped to find a means to massively alter the power of the small elves.
Eventually, the Time Needle guided him to the lustful Scourge cult."
Upon hearing this, Louis fell silent.
No one knows better than him what kind of creatures the lustful Scourge is.
Lust is just the surface, Scourge is the root.
By the nature of the Scourge, elf ranches and such are all routine operations they are notorious for.
Accelerating the growth of each new life carrying elf bloodlines in the shortest time.
Qualified ranch cows reproduce quickly and flourish, unqualified cows have every inch of their flesh crushed and integrated into the next generation of demon offspring.
And the demons, to nurture individuals who can escape the Underground City, voluntarily take part in it.
The specific details are unspeakable.
In short, most of the Demon Race likely died out in a very short time.
A newly born race, inheriting the elf bloodline, emerged.
As they were no longer demons, they could escape the Underground City.
But...
If the world’s resentment could be dispelled so easily, Star Continent wouldn’t have bothered with such troublesome things as the Underground City.
Resentment wouldn’t disappear, it would only be transferred.
So...
With a cold expression, Louis said:
"You imprisoned a group of defenseless kin back then, burdened them with the resentment that rightfully belonged to you, and you escaped the Underground City by parasitizing on your descendants.
That batch of unfortunate sacrifices... are the ogres, which are the trolls of today, right?"
