Chapter 268 Xiling's Mother is a God
After chasing away the bunch of followers behind her, Xiling accompanied her mother and strolled around the druid settlement.
I saw the ecological farmland that I had never seen in other places, and touched the city wall up close;
He also took out the mortar that Boll had hidden in the warehouse and played with it for a long time.
Finally, the mother and daughter, who had not seen each other for decades, sat in Xiling's tree hole hut and looked at each other quietly.
"Mother……"
Although her mind was full of doubts and even some complaints, when her mother actually appeared in front of her, Xiling couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Iris did not answer. The last time she met Xiling face to face was when she sent the two sisters to be fostered in that ancient human family.
As a powerful being, Elise possesses many abilities that mortal beings cannot comprehend, including freezing her own emotions;
But as a mother, she could not allow herself to appear cold and indifferent in front of Xiling.
"Xi Ling, Mom is back..."
Lifting the half-elf's hood, revealing a face that was almost identical to her own, Iris held Xiling tightly in her arms, just like before, in the ranger's hut.
……
"What is the purpose of this gentleman's sudden visit...
And—how did you two meet?"
Sitting around the long table in the Oak Hall, Alduin looked at his half-blood grandson and felt that this boy seemed to have more adventures than he had imagined.
"This... seems to be more than ten years ago..."
[More than a decade ago? So recently?
Could it be that the adult has always been active? 】
"Ah...it seems...it seems..."
"Don't hesitate, just speak up!"
"Hey, hey, seniors!
Otherwise, you should tell me first, why a dark elf god would grow up to look like a high elf! "
Finally, Lovita couldn't stand her curiosity anymore and asked loudly in front of these old monsters for the first time.
After looking around and seeing that the Oak Hall was full of characters with close connections to the gods, Alduin began to tell them all the stories he knew.
……
Corellon, the chief god of the elves, has two rebellious daughters. One is Rose, who goes crazy every day;
The other one is Eilistraee, who has a perverse and eccentric personality, but is still in the good camp.
The relationship between the two is actually not that good. One is chaotic good, and the other is chaotic evil. They are the type that are considered good friends if they don't fight each other.
But Rose had a quarrel with her father, and as a result, a large number of high elves were punished by Corellon and turned into short, dark-skinned, white-haired drow - that is, dark elves.
When Corellon was furious and ready to drive all the black dwarf elves into the ground, Eilistraee ran to beg for mercy.
It is certainly unreasonable to say that the elven god Corellon has no flaws in his character.
Otherwise, how could a Rose who is hostile to the world be born?
If a normal person saw his own daughter begging for another daughter, even if he didn't have a soft heart, he would at most give her a verbal warning;
But Corellon was too extreme. He ignored Eilistraee's request and instead turned his daughter, who was in the good camp, into a short person with black skin and white hair.
The entire elven pantheon remained silent about Corellon's actions, for fear that if the main god who advocated fairness and kindness was unhappy, he would turn himself into a black dwarf.
Instead of being lowered underground with the other dark elves, Eilistraee chose to stay in a secluded forest on the ground because she couldn't stand Rose's madness.
In the Third Age, some drow elves who secretly escaped from the Underdark would see dark elf girls singing and dancing with swords in the moonlight.
Inspired by the yearning for freedom and vitality conveyed in the dance, these hopes were transformed into the black people in the good camp, dedicating their faith to Eilistraee.
So before, there had always been rumors that Eilistraee was a goddess who couldn't be any weaker - with so few believers, how powerful could this god be...
In addition, the drow society strictly conceals the information about the god Eilistraee to prevent more drow from defecting to the ground, and the number of Eilistraee's believers has always been maintained at an extremely low level.
However, because a bad elven god who liked to put his hands in his pockets left the astral plane in a nearly self-harming way, Eilistraee's nostalgia and fantasy for the elven pantheon were completely shattered;
This goddess of the chaotic good camp somehow escaped from the astral plane and hid in the main material plane.
Anyway, this god is very weak. Even in the turbulent years when the gods were fighting each other, no one thought of asking him to come out as external aid.
In the late Third Age, when Rose's madness successfully attracted the siege of the gods, she eventually died in her own kingdom of God;
Almost all the dark elves became corrupted, and the Underdark became a land of the living dead.
Those shallow believers or non-believers who are still alive spend their days playing Resident Evil in the dark underground, hiding here and there and running for their lives.
Those who are smarter can see that this is not going to work.
So he ventured to the ground, intending to find Eilistraee, who was still dancing and playing with swords, and let her lead the drow to survive.
As a result, the search lasted for thousands of years.
But at that time, Eilistraee was experiencing the life of a mortal creature. She transformed herself into an elf ranger and hid in the woods all day long. You could not find this god at all.
The few times it appeared in front of other creatures was either because its lawn was stepped on by someone, or because it took a fancy to someone's interesting toy and wanted to exchange it for some small artifacts.
“Especially the time when they stepped on the lawn, Hejia’s mother was still a child, just a little kid who was less than a hundred years old;
As a result, he chased them all the way from the forest to the Spine of the World, and finally blocked them at the entrance of the Hall of the Ancestors, not letting any frost giants out...
It was also at that time that we discovered that the rumors did not match the facts.
Eilistraee is not a weak god at all, she is so powerful... ahem, let's not talk about this..."
Hejia and Boer were stunned by what they heard.
This was the first time I heard my mother’s legend, and there was such a part.
"What then?"
Paul couldn't help but ask.
"later?
Later, your mother cried loudly in front of her and wrote a letter of repentance of more than 10,000 words...
The Frost Giants finally survived a major crisis.
I am not particularly clear about what happened next.”
After Alduin finished his story, he turned his gaze to Bol, who seemed to know the second half of the plot.
The middle-aged bald man scratched his scalp hard. The skin that had been healed by several healing spells from Alvin was almost scratched all over by him.
"I switched to Mielikki, and the first promotion mission I received was to rescue a pair of half-elf sisters in distress.
It’s Xiling and the others.
Then, outside the manor, I unexpectedly met the sneaky Lady Iris..."
