The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 102 These two will definitely join the mission!

After the negotiations concluded, El-Erian withdrew the projection.

In the eastern river valley, high in the sky, within the floating city, inside the palace, Elian's face showed a hint of joy:

"Very good, the Elven Royal Court has agreed to send a delegation, everything is moving in a positive direction."

"Once the teleportation array is completed and trade between the two sides is truly established, the grand plan for magical industry can officially begin!"

In fact, unless there was a genuine need, Elion wouldn't really want to associate with these haughty elves who looked down on people.

However, the lack of resources and materials in the wild land of the Eastern River Valley is a problem that must be faced.

Over the past decade, virtually all those with magical talent in Eldoron have been identified. The development of magical education has reached a bottleneck. In the next 20 years, the number of spellcasters will not increase as rapidly as before; instead, the improvement will be more gradual in terms of skill level.

At this point, it was almost inevitable that the focus of development would shift to the magic industry.

The abundant supernatural resources of the Elf Kingdom are indispensable!
"Alas, these races that appeared before humans have already divided up all the resources in various places."

"For at least the next 20 years, Eldoron will be extremely dependent on the resources of the Elven Kingdom."

"However, once the Abyss Expedition begins 20 years later and Eldoron controls a small portion of the Abyss lands, it will be able to directly mine the Abyss's resources without being subject to the Elven Royal Court."

Thinking of the abundant mineral and biological resources of the Abyss, Elion smiled:
"Demon's filth, Fire Demon's heart, Abyss Blood Steel, Pus Blood Vein, Screaming Amethyst, Acid Sea, Lava Sea, Laughing Storm, Serpent Tree..."

"As long as you have enough strength, the Abyss and other outer planes are treasure troves."

Using the analogy from Elion's previous life game, outer planes such as Hell, the Abyss, and Heavenly Mountain are maps of a higher level than the material plane.

These planes are filled with immense magical energy, and their supernatural resources are far beyond what material planes can compare to!

The only problem is that the demon lords at each level of the abyss are basically mid- to high-level legendary, and they have considerable bonuses within their territories. They often have several low-level legendary demons under their command, as well as a terrifyingly large demon legion.

Eldoron must undergo another major growth before he is qualified to challenge one of them and truly occupy a certain level of the abyss!
………………

Meanwhile, in the Elven Royal Court.

After spending considerable time carefully selecting candidates, the Elf Queen successfully assembled an elven delegation to make an official visit to the human kingdom of Eldoron.

This delegation consisted of more than 30 people, mainly moon elves, but also included a few other elven races such as wood elves and dark elves, but did not include the sun elves who were hostile to humans.

Although the number of people is small, all of them are at least high-level professionals, and include representatives from the ten major moon elf families and the four minority elf families.

It can completely represent most of the elven kingdom!

"Your mission is to make a friendly visit to the human kingdom of Eldoron."

"Visit the magical production workshop mentioned by the King of Mankind, learn about the process of humans using magic to produce items, and then compile a report."

"As long as the human production mages are indeed skilled enough to produce the goods necessary for the elven kingdom, we can agree to the human's request to trade and immediately build a [teleportation array] connecting the two countries!"

"Your mission is of great importance, carrying the responsibility of maintaining peace between our two races!"

Seymour Moon Whisper, representing the delegation, bowed respectfully to the Queen and responded with a smile:
"No problem, Sister Wang. We've got your back."

Looking at this delegation that did not include any Sun Elves, Queen Antinoya smiled faintly.

She deliberately excluded the Sun Elves, who were hostile to outsiders, from the delegation, appointed Seymour, who had taught magic to humans, as the delegation's representative, and gave subtle hints before the trip; her purpose was very clear—

Deep down, this elven queen truly hoped to establish diplomatic relations and an alliance with the human kingdom!

However, as the queen of the elven kingdom, she needed to go through a symbolic process.

"Alright, everyone, prepare yourselves well. We will set off soon and be teleported together to the human kingdom."

The Elf Queen breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to relax.

Just then, a servant's voice came from behind:

"Your Majesty, King Larklas Sunshine of the Sun Elves has come to pay his respects!"

what?
The Sun Elf King who was hostile to foreign races and known for his traditional conservatism?

The Elf Queen's heart tightened.

It's important to understand that Larklas, the Sun Elf King, is a chosen one of the "Sun Prince," the "God of Elven Wars and Racial Discrimination," a true "favored one of the gods." His attitude towards other races is therefore self-evident. ...

"Your Excellency Antinoya, Queen of the Moon Elves, the current Queen of the Elves, I have heard that you intend to send an envoy to the human kingdom, and even have the intention to establish diplomatic relations and trade with the human kingdom?"

In the guest seats sat the Sun Elf King, his face solemn and sculpted.

"Indeed," the Elf Queen replied calmly.

The King of the Sun Elves spoke in an icy tone:
"Although your Moon Elf race has always disregarded the traditions of the Elves and the teachings of the gods of Sidrian (the Elven pantheon)."

"But I still feel it's necessary to remind you: humans are a race without gods, the only intelligent race without a creator god—or perhaps they weren't an intelligent race to begin with, just a group of monkeys whose intelligence just happened to be enhanced."

"Goblins, orcs, kobolds—they are foolish and savage, but that's only because they worship corrupt and evil gods, completely different from humans..."

The Elf Queen frowned, her face showing displeasure:
"What are you trying to say, Laccles?"

The Sun Elf King slightly raised his chin, as if speaking to a philosopher:
“A race that believes in an evil god is terrible. But a race that does not believe in a god is terrifying.”

"Because they live only for themselves and only for worldly happiness, they are bound to be greedy and depraved."

“They do not know that there is a God above them, and they only follow worldly laws as their code of conduct. Therefore, they are bound to be arrogant and lack reverence.”

"A race without gods, who do not know where they came from or where they are going, is wrong to appear on this land."

“To establish diplomatic relations with such a race is a blasphemy against the elven gods and all the gods.”

Indeed, in the eyes of Laklas, one of God's chosen ones, humans, without a creator god, were a race even less worthy of contact than the orcs, goblins, and kobolds—the traditional enemies of the elves…

The Elf Queen argued:
“Lacques, I don’t think that establishing trade routes with humans is such a serious mistake.”

"Anyway, the Elven Royal Court won't lose anything. The only thing they need to pay is the material cost of setting up the [Teleportation Array] in the early stages."

The King of the Sun Elves laughed:
“Antinoa, only you moon elves who disregard the teachings of the gods would think this is no big deal.”

This "favored one" suddenly raised his voice:

"Human beings are a godless race without reverence."

"Don't think I don't know. A century ago, the mages of the human kingdom of Eldoron built floating cities and ascended to the heavens because they believed that this would allow them to ascend to godhood!"

"Imagine if the human kingdom of Eldorlon became stronger than ever because it traded with us elves..."

Do you think those arrogant and conceited human mages might try to seize the authority of the gods?

"One day, a legendary human mage will overestimate his abilities and challenge the gods high in the heavens, attempting to usurp their authority, and thus incur divine punishment."

"At that time, do you think the Elven Kingdom, which is allied with the human kingdom and has helped the human race grow strong, will be able to escape the wrath of the gods?"

The Elf Queen could no longer tolerate the condescending tone of the other party:

"Lacques, that's just wishful thinking on your part!"

"Watch your words! You have no right to oppose my decrees. I am now the king of all the elves!"

"The alternation of the Sun and Moon Elf Kings is a covenant made before the gods by the Whispering Moon Clan and the Radiant Sun Clan."

The Elf Queen knew very well:
For this powerful Sun Elf who possesses the divine power of the chosen ones and became a mid-level legend a thousand years ago, only by invoking the name of the Elf gods can one overwhelm him!
“Of course I know,” the Sun Elf King chuckled softly. “I will not oppose your decrees.”

"However, it's not quite right that the delegation representing the Elven Kingdom to the human kingdom doesn't even have a single Sun Elf."

"Therefore, in the name of the Sun Elf King, I request that two Sun Elves of my designation be included in the delegation!"

The Elf Queen frowned:

"Which two?"

As the King of the Sun Elves, Larklas made a seemingly reasonable request, which she could not possibly refuse.

Then, the Sun Elf King spoke in a stern voice:

“My eldest daughter—the legendary mage Princess Lia. And my eldest son—the legendary warrior Prince Elf.”
