The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 69, Section 66: Sun and Moon Spirits, Two Kings Taking Turns

“I remember that early this morning, Alamir said he was going to teleport to the wild lands of the East to interrupt humanity’s arcane magic tradition,” said another elven court mage.

"Humans can use magic? Oh, I remember now, His Highness Seymour taught them a few years ago!"

"Severing humanity's arcane magic heritage? How does Alamir intend to do that?"

"He said yes, kill all the humans who can use magic!"

A brief, half-second silence fell over the room.

"More than 100 years have passed, and Alamir Kingpin is still the same as always, always preferring to deal with problems in such an extreme way."

In the most magnificent and prestigious seat, the Elf Queen leaned back lazily, clearly disliking the way the Sun Elf Alamir handled things.

However, I don't think this is a serious mistake that must be severely condemned.

Over the past two millennia, the elves overthrew the dragon empire, slaughtering tens of millions of true dragons, wyverns, orcs, goblins, and kobolds before seizing control of the continent's finest lands. Beneath the glory of the continent's strongest nation lie countless piles of bones.

The current Elven Royal Court was jointly founded by the royal families of the Sun and Moon Elves, and therefore operates under a "Sun and Moon Dual King Rotation System" under the supervision of the Elven gods.

—The Sun Elf King and the Moon Elf King take turns ruling the entire elven race every hundred years.

The current ruler is the Queen of the Moon Elves—Antinoa, the Whisper of the Moon.

Therefore, there are some criticisms of Alamir's way of handling things, as he is a Sun Elf.

If that extremely xenophobic Sun Elf King were in power, he would probably lavish praise on Alamir.

"So what if they just killed all the human mages? Why haven't they returned yet? Don't they know Her Majesty the Queen is hosting a banquet tonight?"

"It won't take long to destroy the human floating city, right?"

Lia couldn't help but complain a couple of times.

"I just used the [Short Message] spell to send a message to Alamir, but he hasn't replied!"

The Elf Queen, exasperated, stood up and clapped her hands.
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's not wait for Alamir and just get started."

At that moment, the legendary figures attending the banquet, their intuition suddenly triggered, all turned to look towards the entrance of the magnificent hall.

There, standing there, was a refined and gentle young man wearing a black velvet cloak.

Humanity!

"How did he get in?"

Why would a human appear in the elven palace?

The elven nobles and ministers present all showed expressions of astonishment.

This is the heart of the Elven Kingdom, a place protected by the "Maze" barrier. Unauthorized outsiders cannot teleport in directly!
"Let me introduce myself. I come from Eldoron, the human kingdom in the east, and I am Eldoron's monarch, Elrian."

Elian bowed respectfully towards the Elf Queen, his movements polite and elegant.
"The King of Humans sends his greetings to the King of the Elves, wishing Her Majesty's scepter eternal stability and the throne of the Whispering Moon family everlasting..."

At this moment, a court monk gave the answer:

"This human is not a real person, but an illusionary projection!"

Some mages and priests who have been affected by the [True Vision] effect have noticed that:
The human figure appears somewhat ethereal and transparent, giving it a somewhat unreal feel.

"That's right. My true form is in the desolate lands of the far east of the continent, in the human kingdom of Eldoron."

El-Erian said calmly.

"What you see is a phantom projected by my improved version of Projection. There is no need to be afraid."

Although that's what they say, the elves had never seen this projection spell that Elion used before.

Although the magic power level displayed by the opponent was only ordinary [Elementary Legendary], it was still far from the peak of [Elementary Legendary], let alone [Intermediate Legendary].

In the Elven Royal Court, there are many spellcasters stronger than him.

However, the methods used were quite bizarre.

Does the human race actually have mages of this level?
Such astonishment exploded simultaneously in the hearts of the many elves attending the banquet. It seems we must reassess the level of human civilization…

Considering Alamir's previous reasons for going to the eastern human lands, everyone couldn't help but worry for him, wondering if Alamir might not be a match for the human before them.

"King of Mankind, what brings you here?"

At the banquet, the queen, beautiful as the moon and sitting dignifiedly, frowned slightly.

"Just this afternoon, a Sun Elf mage attacked our land, wreaking havoc, blowing up roads, burning books, destroying schools, and attempting to kill over ten thousand humans, including young children..."

Elian took out a crystal that was crystal clear and gently spun it in the air, projecting the scene that had just happened.

In the projection, Alamir burned the books in his hands and then directly destroyed the entire school.

Next, there is the image of Alamir's haughty demeanor as she faces Gret, accompanied by her aggressive voice:

"I came here with the intention of killing every human in this country who knows magic!"

"Tell me where the other humans who can use magic are! Don't even think about protecting them. Otherwise, I'll kill you all!"

"Two adults and two children. Let's just kill them all at once."

Then another conversation ensued.

"You will kill all humans who possess magic, whether they are young children or dying old people, won't you?" That was Gretel's voice.

“Of course,” Alamir replied.

The scene stopped abruptly.

“Your Majesty, you and the sorcerers of your court can personally verify that these images and sounds are absolutely authentic!”

"It's a pity that we didn't record the other scenes of this elf wreaking havoc and attacking..."

At this point, Elian covered his face and sighed, revealing a sorrowful expression, before angrily rebuking:
"This is an absolutely intolerable sin!"

He is subtly reinforcing his victim image.

It's as if Alamir really did cause immense destruction on human land, killing many people.

"It seems that Alamir has indeed caused a lot of destruction on human lands, and probably killed quite a few people..."

"Moreover, judging from the towns in the pictures, the level of human civilization is much, much higher than we imagined. They are completely different from the goblin kobolds."

"It seems we need to reassess humanity."

The elves at the banquet table began to whisper among themselves.

Then, enraged, Elion turned to the Elf Queen and berated her, saying:
"This is utterly depraved!"

"How could this elf who calls himself Alamir do such a thing!"

"If he had chosen to attack our floating city openly from the start, that would have been better."

"As a result, he actually attacked a small town that lacked regular protection. By the time our people arrived, it was too late to undo the damage!"

The sun elves present listened to the human's words with disdain. They did not believe that humans had the right to reason with them.

However, the many moon elves, as well as the wood elves and other minority elven races, all looked slightly embarrassed at this moment.

After all, they consider themselves the most civilized race and the rulers of all races.

They are a race that values ​​face very much.

It is indeed difficult to explain why an elven court mage would do such a thing to another civilized race.

Immersed in racial discrimination, the Sun Elf Alamir completely forgot one fact:
He's the one in the wrong!
If humanity is truly a civilized race, rather than a kobold living in caves, then it seems somewhat inappropriate to indiscriminately commit mass killings without justification.

Elion looked rather regretful and murmured to Queen Antinoya, the Moon, who sat on her throne:

“Your Majesty, this Sun Elf mage who calls himself Alamir, his actions are certainly not on Your Majesty’s orders.”
