Chapter 170
Chandi got up and was about to leave, but fell again. After Abel helped her up, he persuaded her: "You are very weak, so you should take a break and wait until your body recovers before leaving. Besides, with your appearance, let alone passing through human territory, it is difficult for you to get out of this forest."
He was supported by Eber and felt his body's weakness. Chandi couldn't hold on to leave anymore, so he sat down and said to Eber: "I'll bother you like this. Please forgive me for any disturbances."
As he said this, Chandi sat down again, but still looked weak.
Abel didn't care about this, so he set off a bonfire, then took out a piece of raw meat from the shack beside him, and roasted it on the fire.
Seeing Abel actually barbecued meat, Chandi's eyes were a little surprised and she couldn't help but ask: "Are you a forest elves or a high elves? Why are you in the northern mountains so far away from the empire? Also, this meat is...?"
"I am not an elves living in the empire. In this northern mountain range, I am just hunting beasts. This piece of meat is my prey yesterday, and I am roasted for food today." Abel explained with a smile, and did not forget to add: "Actually, I am not pure blood, but just a half-elves, because I have half human blood and are not as taboo as orthodox elves."
"Half-elves? Ah! I'm reckless, please forgive me." Chanti exclaimed, but soon apologized to Abel. There was a little sympathy in his eyes when he looked at Abel.
Because of Abel's half-elves' identity, the two of them fell into embarrassment for a while and were silent for a long time. It was not until Abel roasted the meat in his hand, smelled the smell, and then handed it to Chandi: "Eat it. In this northern mountain range, it will be difficult to find something suitable for the elf's taste. Only this, please give it a try."
After taking the barbecue handed over by Eber, Chandi's face suddenly looked embarrassed. As a pure-blooded elves, especially the wood elves, the food they usually eat is only grains and fruits, and they will not touch any meat at all. Although they are not completely unable to eat meat, they are definitely not something that will be acceptable for a while.
Although he was willing to refuse, the feeling of hunger from his stomach still made Chandi hold the barbecue and try to send it to her mouth, but just looked at her expression that was about to vomit. I am afraid this would be a difficult challenge for her.
Abel looked at Chanti's expression and did not take out the dry food on his body. He just took out a piece of raw meat and continued to roast it. Then he asked Chanti tentatively: "I rarely go deep into the empire because of my identity. Not long ago, I saw four gods falling from the throne. I wonder what the empire is now?"
Since Chandi was in the Elf Empire before, and even said that she was going to the Wood Elf Royal Court, she obviously should have some understanding of the current situation of the Elf Empire. Abel really wanted to obtain some information from her. After all, the hunters who had sent out to obtain intelligence have not yet been sent back.
"There is no more empire." However, when talking about this topic, Chanti's expression became lonely, and she said in a tone of sadness and resentment: "The high elves attacked the wood elves' kingdom, and the war has broken out, and the empire is divided into two. Now there are only the high elves kingdom Asuan and the wood elves kingdom Aviren. The original elves empire no longer exists."
"What happened? Why did Asuan attack Aviren? Are the two kingdoms not allies? Isn't they an empire formed by the two kingdoms?" Abel asked Chanti in surprise. He heard from Chanti's words that the Elf Empire was composed of two parts, so he asked Chanti through the verbal quiz, hoping to know more information.
"It is because of the four gods! There was originally a long thorn wall built by gods between Asuan and Aviron, which separated the connection between the two countries and also the conflict between the wood elves and the high elves. However, with the fall of the wilderness gods, the long wall can no longer protect Aviron. In addition, the high elves king's court spy on the two wood elves gods who came to Aviron, and the war broke out like this." Chanti's expression seemed very sad, and there was a hint of fear, as if he was scared by the war before.
Not noticing Chanti's fear of flashing away, Abel took the roasted meat off the fire, but did not eat it immediately. Instead, he made a shocked expression, looked at Chanti, and said in an incredible tone: "Why did the high elves attack Avellen for the sake of the two gods? Isn't this provoking the imperial civil war itself?"
"I'm afraid this is something that the high elves have been planning for a long time? The Imperial Senate has been planning to include the wood elves under the rule of the high elves. If it weren't for the protection of the wilderness god Tar, the high elves could not find a way to break through the long wall of thorns, and the war would have probably broken out. This time, the four noble gods fell from the throne, which undoubtedly gave the high elves the best excuse." Chandi said in a faint tone, but the expression on her face seemed very lonely.
"Aren't everyone all elves? Why do high elves have to rule the wood elves?" Abel didn't understand the politics of the empire and asked Chanti in a confused tone.
Chandi looked at Abel in surprise, but quickly realized, so she explained: "You are a half-elf, and you should have felt the feeling of being excluded and discriminated against by those guys from high elves, right?
Since the Supreme God Asuyan issued an oracle to say that the bloodline of the high elves is more noble, these high elves have been deluding to rule everything in this world. Even the wood elves who are elves are within their rule. Moreover, there are two royal courts in one empire, which makes the Phoenix Royal Court unhappy for a long time!
Speaking of which, as a half-elves, you should have lived a hard life, right? I remember that the high elves issued decrees, and they were directly regarded as defiling their bloodlines and were to be executed directly."
"I was able to survive because I had the protection of my teacher." Abel said as he had already made up the excuse. After sighing, he said to Chanti with a melancholy voice: "Don't talk about these things, eat while it's hot. If it's cold, it's not good."
Hearing Abel say this, Chandi then focused on the barbecue in her hand, tried to bite a small piece in her small mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it with a bite.
