Chapter 343: Statue of Erohiene
Chapter 343: Statue of Erohiene
Corellon's temple was large, with statues filling both sides.
Those are the gods of the elves, including those who have appeared before.
Xiling stopped in front of a taller statue. This was the place Corellon had pointed at.
The half-elf raised his head and looked at the beautiful goddess statue curiously.
Her long hair cascades down her back like a waterfall, and her clothes and movements all have an indescribable sense of beauty and artistry.
That exquisite and beautiful face seemed somewhat similar to her mother's, but the temperament was completely different.
The emblem on the chest had never appeared in Xiling's memory.
This is an unknown elven goddess.
After walking around the statue, Xiling did not see the name of the strange goddess engraved on the base or anywhere else.
"Stop spinning around, kid. You're making my head dizzy."
After dealing with the red and black power in the divine mark, Corellon walked over slowly.
The lazy and casual temperament on his body made Xiling unconsciously think of the white-robed skeleton Rillifen.
"Do you know who this is?"
The Elf God stopped and raised his head like Xiling, looking at the statue's face with a complicated expression.
Without waiting for Xiling to speak, Corellon continued to speak on his own.
"This is your mother's mother - to you, she should be called your grandmother, right?"
Looking at the half-elf's stunned expression, Corellon shook his head.
"Erohine, the goddess of the arts of the elves, is also my wife - my only wife.
At the beginning of the Second Era, she and I had a big fight.
At that time in the main material plane, it can be said that the elves dominated everything.
I originally thought that the elves, who love elegance, poetry, and music, would spread their hobbies throughout the plane of springs after they had completely ended the war between dragons and giants... Elohine thought so too.
However, that kind of peace did not last even a thousand years.
Those mortal elves began to fight for the only crown of the plane..."
"The Crown War of the High Elves?"
Xiling looked at Corellon who was a little absent-minded and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, it was the Crown War that caused a sharp decline in the population of the High Elves and allowed those human mages to recuperate and grow to a point where they were difficult to resist.
Ah! Those are all stories from tens of thousands of years ago. That war that lasted for thousands of years is not important at all."
He conjured up two chairs out of thin air and motioned for Xiling to sit down, then he summoned a coffee table filled with food and drinks in front of the half-elf.
“But Elohine was very disappointed with the elves she favored.
She probably couldn't believe why those little guys were still fighting each other and launching bloody wars among their own kind when she had already filled most of the elves' time with art.
She became increasingly paranoid, and not even your mother or our other child could cheer her up."
Picking up a glass of amber drink and placing it in Xiling's hand, Corellon poured himself a glass of something with a pungent smell of alcohol and drank it in one gulp.
“Erohine has gone mad.
She believed that the cause of all this was the entire Elven Kingdom—
In a sense, her understanding was correct. It was the silence of the entire elven pantheon during the war that caused the high elves in the mortal world to fall into endless civil war.
She was crazy, completely crazy.
An Elf God, an Elf God second only to me as the main god, actually gathered a few stinking evil guys and launched an attack on the Elf Kingdom. "
Hearing this, Xiling opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
She had already guessed who Elohine was in Corellon's story.
He tilted his head back and took another big gulp, then half-closed his eyes and looked at the statue of the goddess above his head.
“The subsequent story is no longer a secret in your mortal world.
I cursed all of Elohine's followers, turning those self-righteous high elves into short, dark-skinned people...
I also cursed Elohine, turning her into a monster with spider legs all over her lower body..."
The crystal glass in Xiling's hand fell to the ground, and the amber drink spilled all over the floor.
"Spider Queen Rose... turned out to be my grandmother..."
……
"So, is there any danger where Xiling goes?"
Ivan stared at Iris who was chewing an apple and asked in a bad tone.
This look of accusing someone scared the little Lian on the opposite side, and her already pale face became even paler.
Fortunately, Iris didn't get angry about this.
She put her hands on her hips and spat the fruit core onto the ground without any godly manner. After swallowing the food in her mouth, she glanced at Ivan with the side of her eyes.
"What do you think? She's my daughter!
Would I send my daughter to a place filled with dangerous creatures?"
"Who knows... You left them alone..."
"Cough cough cough-"
Little Lian on the opposite side suddenly started coughing violently and winked at Ivan frantically.
Kong Er, who was standing next to him, was even more direct. He stretched out his hand and covered Ivan's mouth.
Iris's movements seemed to be paused.
After a while, the high elf, whose skin had begun to darken, tried hard to control his emotions.
She walked to the table dejectedly and sat down, spreading her hands towards the nervous Kong Er.
"What Ivan said is right, I did leave them when they needed their mother's care the most.
Especially Lian, she was not even thirty years old at the time..."
"Mother, I was thirty-two years old that year..."
Ignoring her little daughter's jokes, Iris glanced toward the living room window.
Although there is nothing outside this window, it is purely a decoration.
“When the dark elf found my residence and fell in front of Xiling and Lian;
I really can't reject a creature that uses its own life to seek the protection of the gods in front of them...
I won’t say much more, that’s another story.
At least now, when the city you see has become a peaceful home for the dark elves, I can make it up to my daughters."
It seemed that he did not accept this reason. After being released by Kong Er, Ivan still looked at Iris opposite him with an accusatory look.
This useless young man from Blue Star questioned a god again with great courage in front of him.
"Then why did you let Xiling alone - I mean an elf, alone to face the madman who would make the Elf Courtyard disappear?"
Iris, who was a little stunned by this question, first opened her mouth slightly, then raised her eyebrows and showed a weird smile.
"Because once I appear in the Elven Kingdom...I will probably never be able to leave."
