Chapter 11 Dream and Reality

Generally speaking, in people's minds, elves have a calm and elegant posture.

With elegant posture and gorgeous costumes, even in the most critical situation, he will never let his demeanor be disturbed.It is a kind of race that makes people's liver hurt by maintaining the most elegant and gorgeous posture even when they die.Although it sounds a bit exaggerated, at least some elf mages that Kaos knows have the virtue of 'I would rather die than be beautiful'.

Gorgeous in appearance and elegant in manner, he always speaks with a headache-inducing vibrato.According to them, it means elegance in the Elvish language.Even for casting spells, the materials for casting spells must be counted out bit by bit from the woven sachet.Be sure to express your love for life and admiration for art with every gesture.Although it was a boring behavior in the eyes of Kaos, it was undoubtedly more important than life in the eyes of the elves, and it was very difficult to deal with a half-life and half-dead guy like Kaos.

Even before, he was singled out with a group of elf mages because of this kind of problem.It is also based on this that Kaos can believe that he will definitely find the ice elf.He really knows the rainforest and the elves in the ground too well.Even those dark-skinned guys are unwilling to give up their persistence and love for beauty, and they have their own set of twisted aesthetics for the power of life, which is still a typical elf bone.No elf would release an instant death spell, and no elf would give up his life easily.The group of pointed ears will use various means, including kneeling and surrendering, to maintain their lives.

That kind of deep-rooted concept made Kaos see the character of the elf.But he never imagined that the ice elves in the Northland were like another species, without the slightest concept of art and life.Feeling the power of death's law, Kaos subconsciously ruled out the option of elf, which also made him a big joke.

"I heard from my grandpa that we used to be like that too."

Wearing a leather jacket and hot pants, the Ice Elf with his waist and thighs exposed is like a cheerful deer jumping among the mountains.Standing on the peak of Xiaobingling without hesitation, he turned his head and said to Kaos who was walking slowly behind him.

"But because life is getting worse and worse recently, we can only become what we are now."

The elf's name is Rosalind, and she is a very young ice elf, belonging to the new generation of their clan.He was proficient in bow and arrow and chasing when he was a mortal, and his skillful skills have not changed even after he became a wizard.So even now, this wizard who is not like a wizard can still make an ice crystal longbow and countless ice crystal long arrows in the air.The bio-elastic band that acts as a bowstring is wrapped around her neck.Kaos was quite surprised by the necklace-like bowstring.

According to this little ice elf named Rosalind, the situation on their side could no longer support them wearing too gorgeous clothes in the north wind.Anyway, their resistance to cold is extraordinary, so they simply used the most economical fabric to make a series of simple shame clothing.It just happened to be convenient for them to move faster on the ice sheet.

Anyway, as a wizard, Kaos couldn't understand this kind of cold resistance.And it also greatly overturned his initial views on those elves who are so damn demeanor and don't want life.Even if he went out in this bloody ice and snow area, he had to hang up energy protection damage. As a human being, he had no way of understanding the customs and habits of the ice elves.Looking at the little ice elf girl who was leading the way and dressed like she was in a swimming pool, Kaos only felt an unusual headache.

According to the little girl, their population has become precarious under the threat of the dragon.Originally, Kaos wanted to record an argument of 'the ice elves are dying, and the Northland is completely finished', and then he planned to open the portal and leave.But the little witch refused to let Kaos, the real wizard, go without saying anything, and wanted to drag him into the camp of the ice elves.After all, Kaos also promised to help that party when he saw the ice elves, not to mention that the witch herself is a wizard and it is not easy to play tricks.The black-robed wizard could only follow behind Rosalind towards the ice elves' residence with a sullen expression on his face.

There is no way for wizards to kill each other. In normal times, wizards cannot be put in any danger of life.It's the same even if the wizard is just an apprentice, you can set a trap to kill him, but you have to go through the judging meeting if you want to kill him face to face.Kaos was too lazy to argue with the judges that he killed a wizard just for convenience, so he followed suit.

"When we were negotiating with humans at the beginning, we still looked normal. The clothes were gorgeous, and then the tone of voice was just like what you said, with some elf vibrato. At least that's what grandpa told me Yes." Rosalind said.

"After all, we were also orthodox elves at the beginning, so we had a lot of poems and gorgeous ornaments. But later, because the ice sheet became colder and colder, there were fewer and fewer places for animals and plants to occupy, and we could only take Handicrafts are exchanged for money. So our clothes are becoming more and more simple. Isn’t there a saying? The environment can change people. We are not as bold as the human empire to change the face of the world. So we can only change ourselves."

"Oh, that's right." In order not to make the conversation awkward, Kaos followed behind and dealt with it absent-mindedly.

"The group of giant dragons suddenly became more and more in number for some reason, and the wizards and elders in our group also died one after another due to age. Now only me and my master are left to maintain the enchantment. Then those giant dragons don’t know where they got the news, and it’s too much to raise our group as a herd now.” Rosalind said with her chest puffed up, her pair of pointed ears were full of excitement. The emotions are shaking up and down, and it looks strangely cute.

"Oh, that's right." Kaos still had that half-dead look, coping with it unmoved.

"...I said, Mr. Great Wizard, don't act like this." Rosalind added angrily after seeing Kaos' bored expression. "This is an incredible thing for us. After all, we are not as desperate as human beings, but we also have our own attachments. Even now, I still can't believe that I can change my mind."

"I know." The black-robed wizard nodded reluctantly with a look of impatience. "It's really not easy for you."

But to be honest, Kaos had seen this kind of emotion too much when he was in the imperial capital.The power of the human empire will always make those aliens feel fear and surprise from the bottom of their hearts.That is because the courage and ability of human beings have always been above all races.Although I really don't want to admit it, after seeing the inferiority of those races, Kaos has indeed become a human chauvinist in this world.Because compared to those alien races who are simply assholes to the extreme, human beings are simply a group of perfect creatures.

Take the current ice elves as an example. They would rather wait for the extinction of their own species than send out dozens of teams to apply for rescue from other races.And in the same way, there are similar human colonies in hell.But the choice of human beings is to use all the power that can fight, and fight to the death with the demons who exploit them.All the women and children are looking for someone who can call for help under the leadership of the old man, and the young and middle-aged are desperately delaying time with the demons.In the end, they killed all the demons with the help of the Imperial Hell Expeditionary Force and the local order Demon Guard.

This is the most fundamental gap between alien races and humans.

"However, even if you were oppressed by the dragons like that, didn't you think about killing them with your own power?" "What are you talking about?" Rosalind looked at the dead wood with a strange expression on her face. The man tilted his head and said. "Isn't killing something that you can do when your life is threatened? Just drive them away?"

"Oh, that's right." As if time had flown backwards, Kaos then repeated that sentence, undeniably picking up the cane again.Slowly following behind the ice elf leading the way, there was no expression on his face.

Those races always have various excuses to stop their lives, but human beings are always the ones who fight to the end.Because humans have nothing to fear at all.They firmly believe that only their own strength can create happiness.Only what is left by one's own struggle, struggle, and plunder is what humans can obtain.What is begged is nothing but pity, and it is not worthy of being called a gain or a miracle at all.It was nothing more than the restless bark of the defeated, begging forgiveness from the enemy.

The so-called life principle is even more boring in the eyes of human beings.In the eyes of human beings, what is more important is the belonging of the spirit than the possession of the body.Faction determines everything. In the enemy camp, life and death are negligible.If it is an enemy, it will be killed.This is a matter of course in the eyes of humans, but it is incredible in the eyes of aliens.

Kaos is extremely proud of being a human being, and this is the reason.

The strength of human beings does not lie in the strength of strength, but in the strength of spirit.For a race like the ice elves, who don't care about being slaves, Kaos really had the urge to turn around and leave.But the oath to make a treaty with the wizard can only make Kaos follow the elf according to his temper, to the very luxurious ice elf residence in her mouth.

It's good that this boring thing ends quickly.Looking at the smooth and pretty figure of the ice elf, Kaos sighed slightly in his heart.He always had an ominous premonition.And this premonition soon became a reality in the following journey.
