"um, yes."
"Is there anything else?"
"That's all. Goodbye."
The robed person - Ina, disappeared immediately after saying this.
"..."
Such a sudden change made Qin Bin, who had prepared countless tricks in his mind, open his mouth and couldn't close it for a long time.
Similarly, Xiao Bai's face was filled with astonishment.
"Xiao Bin, what kind of situation is this?"
"Don't ask me, I'm a little confused right now."
"Okay... I couldn't sense any breath from the other party in just a moment. This person... is very strong... Is he from the divine realm?"
Qin Bin pursed his lips and said, "It's possible. Even if he is not a divine domain, he is a saint who is extremely good at hiding."
"It's the divine realm."
At this moment, Uncle Black Dragon Lei Ze, who acted as a secret guard, appeared in human form and said with a serious expression.
“Your Highnesses, that person is not only in the God Realm, but also at least at the peak of the God Realm. He just glanced at me with curiosity before, and my soul trembled! This level of soul power is definitely not something that an ordinary God Realm can possess.”
"?!" Qin Bin and Xiaobai couldn't help but be surprised.
However, Xiao Bai immediately said, "Let's not talk about how powerful she is. Her aura is obviously different from the common auras in the Eternal Continent, but she insists that she is not an outsider. Uncle, do you think this is some unknown race that rarely walks outside, that even our dragon race doesn't know about, and that usually hides in a certain subspace?"
Uncle Lei Ze thought about it, nodded and said, "It is possible. After all, no one can tell how many subspaces exist in our Eternal Continent. Or maybe we really encountered an unknown race in an unknown subspace. But no matter what, please be extremely cautious in the coming days. It is too strange for such an unheard-of strong man to come to contact us inexplicably and leave inexplicably."
"I know~"
"Thank you Uncle Lei Ze for the reminder." Qin Bin nodded seriously, "I will."
"Your Highness, you are welcome."
Uncle Lei Ze smiled and nodded. He was still very confident in this dragon prince consort.
However, Uncle Lei Ze still added, "Your Highness, I know that Your Highness can take people across the border in an instant, so if an emergency really occurs and I can't react in time or can't handle it, then Your Highness must take the princess across the border to Earth without hesitation and wait until it is safe."
Qin Bin paused for a moment, then nodded seriously, "I understand. Please rest assured, Uncle Lei Ze."
"That's good."
Uncle Lei Ze smiled and continued to hide.
Qin Bin and Xiaobai looked at each other, and finally just smiled in tacit understanding. Then Xiaobai turned into a holy white dragon again and carried Qin Bin towards the direction of the Forest of Life.
......
The location of the Forest of Life, when viewed on the global map, is almost in the middle and south of the east and west of the planet Nakul.
The Forest of Life borders the Lepkas Empire to the east, and after the Lepkas Empire are the Norton Kingdom and the Kana Empire.
It borders the Lost Plains to the northeast, the western human kingdom of Nivis to the northwest, the Iron Shield Dynasty of the western dwarf kingdom to the west, the western human kingdom of Nanpu and the Poponia Empire to the southwest, and a long coastline to the south.
Qin Bin and Xiao Bai wanted to enter the Forest of Life. They had to start from the middle of the Lost Plains, fly nearly two thousand kilometers to the southwest, and then cross the Hengduan Mountains at the junction of the Forest of Life, the Lost Plains, and the Lepkas Empire to enter the northeastern part of the Forest of Life.
By the way, it was thanks to the fact that Qin Bin and Xiaobai were both in the Saint Realm that they were able to cross the Hengduan Mountains, which covered an unknown area. Otherwise, if they didn't want to be driven to death by the elemental turbulence above the Hengduan Mountains, they would have to take a detour of thousands or tens of thousands of kilometers and enter the Forest of Life from the branches of the Hengduan Mountains.
The moment he entered the Forest of Life, Qin Bin was stopped by a patrol team of elven air cavalry.
The organization of the Life Elves' air cavalry is similar to that of humans, but their flying mounts are dragon eagles unique to the Forest of Life.
The dragon eagle, although its name contains the word "dragon", has nothing to do with dragons. It is not even a sub-dragon. It is just a giant four-legged eagle that only lives in the Forest of Life.
Its appearance is similar to the griffin in Kana, but its body is more slender than the griffin, and it is very brave and ferocious, so it is called the dragon eagle.
As for the several sky knights of the Life Elves, there were a mixture of both men and women, all of them handsome men and beautiful women. With their luxurious and exquisite armor, they were indeed much more noble than the noble lords of Kana.
It was not the first time that Qin Bin had seen the Life Elves. Not to mention those far away, there were more than a dozen Life Elves studying abroad in the Magic and Martial Arts Academy in the Kana Empire, and there were also many Life Elves' Chamber of Commerce stationed in the Kana Empire. So Qin Bin was very familiar with the Life Elves, who had only four hair colors: light gold, light yellow, light green, and silver, and had long and pointed ears, tall stature, and a natural aura.
The leading Life Elf Air Cavalryman was a young man with a gentle aura and sharp eyes. "My friends from the Dragon Clan and this human, I wonder if you have any urgent business to cross the Hengduan Mountains and suddenly break into the territory of the Holy Spirit Empire? And my friend from the Dragon Clan, do you need any help?"
The so-called Holy Spirit Empire is a special country with the Forest of Life as its territory border and 99% of the population is populated by Life Elves.
The reason why it is special is that throughout history, this country has never launched a war against other countries, even one involving territory.
Therefore, the Holy Spirit Empire is also known as the Neutral Empire on the continent.
Of course, although it is recognized throughout the continent that the Holy Spirit Empire has no intention of taking any territory outside the Forest of Life, it does not mean that the Holy Spirit Empire's army is raised in vain.
A few hundred years before this era, the powerful magic army of the Holy Spirit Empire marched westward and took less than a month to destroy a powerful human country that allowed slave traders to sell elves.
Since then, the countries of the East and West continents have reached an unwritten consensus in private, that is, it doesn't matter who their own slave traders attack, but if they dare to attack the elves, they will take the initiative to make that slave trader return to dust without waiting for the envoys of the Holy Spirit Empire to hold them accountable.
By the way, the leader of the war of annihilation hundreds of years ago was the now abdicated Elf Queen, the last person to whom Dreamwish had given future memories—Edith the Blessed.
Besides, most of the life elves are quite enthusiastic. For example, the few life elves who are looking at Qin Bin now have a bit more scrutiny, even dissatisfaction, in their eyes.
The reason is simple. On the Eternal Continent, it is extremely rare to see people carried on the back of a dragon. A branch of the Life Elves is on good terms with the Dragon Clan, so these Life Elves are very concerned about the relationship between Qin Bin and Xiaobai. They can't help but think in a bad direction and are mentally prepared to seek justice for their dragon friends.
As soon as they saw each other's expressions, Qin Bin and Xiaobai knew what the other meant.
After secretly sighing, "He is as brave and reliable as the rumors say," Xiaobai responded with a smile, "Friends of the elves, please rest assured. This is my future husband."
"I see..."
After hearing what Xiaobai said, the elf knights were surprised, but they didn't want to investigate further.
First, anyone who can cross the Hengduan Mountains is not a simple person. If it is not necessary, the Elf Knights will not offend such a strong person. Of course, if necessary, they will not be afraid of any strong enemy, even if they are likely to be killed. Second, the holy white dragon is the symbol of the Holy Dragon Tribe of the Dragon Clan. In the eyes of the Elf Knights, only unmarried couples dare to sit on the back of the Holy Dragon. The Dragon King is notorious for protecting his shortcomings... well, he is famous.
After the misunderstanding was resolved, Xiaobai showed the official token of the Dragon Kingdom and talked about the reason for visiting the Moon Shrine.
After the elven knights confirmed the token, they sent a knight back quickly to report, and at the same time sent two knights to lead the way, allowing Qin Bin and Xiaobai to first go to the designated entry area on the northern border of the Holy Spirit Empire and wait a while.
Qin Bin and Xiaobai certainly didn't do anything special. Let's not talk about Qin Bin's character. Xiaobai always followed the rules when entering and leaving the Kana Empire, let alone entering and leaving this "brother country" of the dragon clan.
So the two of them held hands, looked around, whispered in each other's ears, and laughed, just like a couple on a leisurely outing. They floated behind the two elven sky knights who were leading the way, making the two elven sky knights' faces gradually look a little sour.
There is no way, because coincidentally, these two Elf Sky Knights are currently single...
Chapter 208: Elves, Orcs, and Humans - Part
There are more than ten designated entry rest areas on the northern border of the Holy Spirit Empire. The one Qin Bin and Xiaobai went to is near the Hengduan Mountains.
This entry area is actually a border city that can be used for both military and civilian purposes.
The life elves, also known as nature elves and forest elves, are a group of people who worship nature and love life.
However, their cities are not much different from the cities of the human kingdoms in the eastern part of the continent. They are all man-made buildings with brick and stone structures as the main body, rather than things like tree houses or tree holes.
That is to say, the greenery inside and outside the city is very good, and all the roads are beautiful forest avenues, which can be called a masterpiece of the perfect integration of man and nature.
In a regular human city, there are usually no large-scale forests and vegetation around the city walls, which affects the field of vision and makes it easy for the enemy to reach the city.
But for the elves, as long as there is a plant druid in the city, all the animals and plants outside the city will become perfect sentinels.
The biggest problem for this city covered with lush vegetation is fire safety. However, this is a magical world, and conventional fires are unlikely to harm magicians, while intense fires do not rely much on flammable materials. In other words, this fire safety hazard is a minor issue that can be almost ignored here.
Besides, the habits of the life elves are actually not much different from those of humans, and even their diet is similar - or, in other words, the humans and the life elves in this world are not much different. After all, the humans in this world are the product of creation of the gods with reference to the life elves.
But no matter what, the life elves in this world value nature but are not extreme. For example, they will cut down trees, but they will try their best not to destroy the overall ecological cycle. They will also hunt animals in the jungle, but they will seriously consider whether it will cause excessive impact on the ecological chain in the forest.
From this, we can see that the so-called "worship of nature" of the Life Elves does not mean worshipping specific plants and animals such as flowers, grass, rabbits, cats, dogs and leopards, but the more advanced "natural laws".
Since their appearance, life such as animals and plants has lived in a constantly evolving dynamic ecological chain, one link of which is the so-called law of the jungle.
For human beings on earth, the law of the jungle has become derogatory, but for nature, the law of the jungle is an objective and indispensable link in the ecological balance.
If people ignore this point and engage in the so-called 'reverence for nature and love for life', they are disregarding the already fragile ecological balance and 'destroying nature and trampling on life' from the root, which is a truly serious sin.
The life elves, on the other hand, have truly put aside their emotions of self-admiration and self-satisfaction, and have truly faced nature objectively and are working hard to maintain the relatively fragile ecological chain of the forest as "environmental protectors."
Is this style very advanced?
No.
This is a very common argument on Earth.
However, some people cannot let go of their self-motivation, and ambitious people are trying to manipulate the situation, so that the ideological policy of maintaining the living environment of the human race has gradually changed. Even now, the words such as "animal protection" and "environmental protection" on Earth are almost completely reincarnated into derogatory words.
So after seeing the city of the Life Elves and chatting with the elves traveling with him, Qin Bin couldn't help but sigh after gaining a more intuitive understanding of the Life Elves that was different from what he had read in books.
"This is probably the bad nature of human beings..."
"Eh?"
On the way to the post station in the elf border town, Xiaobai was a little confused by Qin Bin's sudden words.
"Nothing, just talking nonsense because of a full stomach."
"You're still full... Are you sick? No, that's not right. It seems that people in the Holy Land can't get sick..."
"Don't worry about it..."
Qin Bin smiled and happened to pass by a fruit shop, so he took out the elven currency he had exchanged when entering the city - the Silver Moon Coin.
I spent 37 silver moons, which is about 45 lang in Kana's price, to buy six fragrant pears, which are a specialty of the Forest of Life.
Qin Bin wanted to share it with the two elven sky knights who led the way for him and Xiaobai, but the other party smiled and refused.
Qin Bin did not force it. He handed one to Xiaobai, kept one for himself, and put the rest in the space ring.
"Are you sure you're full?" Xiaobai looked at Qin Bin with amusement as he took a bite of the pear.
"Eat some fruit to promote digestion." Qin Bin replied with a smile.
"What you said is enough to make any health and nutritionist on Earth jump up and down - it's an orc caravan..."
As Xiaobai was speaking, he looked at a group of green or brown-skinned, strange-looking humanoid creatures at the end of the street in the distance.
Qin Bin also looked over. "It seems that Kana and the Orc Empire have not officially declared war, and Kana and the Holy Spirit Empire do not have a clear military alliance for the time being. It is not surprising that the Orc Merchants can still appear in the Holy Spirit Empire at this time."
"That's right. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
"No. Now that the war between Kana and the orcs has begun, I think most of the well-informed orcs don't like the Kana nobles. We should not cause trouble. It's getting late now, so let's go to bed first."
"Too."
After Xiaobai responded, he and Qin Bin, led by two elven sky knights, continued to set off towards the official post station of the Holy Spirit Empire.
As for orcs, Qin Bin had only seen some in the slave market in the capital of Kana. After all, the atmosphere of hatred towards orcs was very strong in Kana. Except for some special circumstances, when orc envoys would appear in Kana, it was impossible to see free orcs.
The orcs in this world are generally similar to those in "World of Warcraft": they are strong and tall, with peculiar looks that are completely inconsistent with human aesthetics, which gives people a bad first impression.
Even Qin Bin, after seeing a real orc, could only try his best to... well, respect him.
However, after learning about the history and culture of orcs from books, Qin Bin also knew that the orcs in this world are also a complete civilization, or a normal group of intelligent life forms.
There is no such thing as an evil essence, it's just different perceptions from different standpoints.
The Orc Empire is the name given by the people of Kana. In essence, just like the Elf Empire, the Orc country also has its own name.
Named 'Karim'.
The name of this country originated from the name of the first orc emperor in the Eternal Era. In the orc language, it also means "brave one".
After the end of the Doomsday War, Karim Roarer, the first orc emperor of the Eternal Era, led hundreds of thousands of orc survivors, most of whom were the elderly, the weak, women and children, from the southwest of what is now Kana, and traveled tens of thousands of kilometers to the bitter and cold land in the north of the Eternal Continent, where they rebuilt their homes and lived and multiplied to this day.
Chapter 209: Elves, Orcs, and Humans - Part
Later, after several generations of wise kings, the Orc Empire became more and more prosperous, and finally completely got rid of its status as a loser in the previous era. It ranked among the top ten or even top five great powers in the new era of the continent, standing tall on the Eternal Continent.
Yes, in the last era, there were winners and losers not only at the macro level, but also among the indigenous ethnic groups of the Eternal Continent.
In the former, the gods won, and the native ethnic groups of the Eternal Continent were almost at the point of civilizational collapse.
To put it more intuitively, during the heyday of various races on the continent in the last era, the total population reached about 40 billion. At the beginning of the new era, the total population of the continent was probably less than 200 million.
It goes without saying what this huge gap in numbers means.
The latter is specifically about the victory or defeat of the native ethnic groups on the mainland.
Dragons, elves, humans, and dwarves were the victors of the last era, and as a result, humans and dwarves now occupy most of the continent's mild climate and fertile land. As for dragons and elves, they have no territorial demands.
People like orcs, goblins, crypt dwellers, and lizardmen are losers. After the war, they were forced to migrate to cold and bitter lands to survive.
