A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 202 Underground Elf

Whether it was Hayes or Jiang Shuzhou, the elves they had ever seen were always elegant, beautiful, and at most a little arrogant.

It is nowhere near as vulgar, barbaric, and cruel.

However, Jiang Shuzhou did meet a fool, the elf he casually kicked to death when he left Velisco.

But it's nowhere near as outrageous as that.

"Is this thing really an elf?"

Looking at the still-shouting elf, Jiang Shuzhou was somewhat uncertain.

"My lord, they are elves!"

"Don't be fooled by him, these elves are very cunning!"

What's so cunning about it? No normal person could be fooled like that.

"My lord, you'd better put magic-suppressing handcuffs on him. These elves are born with the ability to cast spells."

Are they all warlocks?

Upon realizing that his ability to cast spells had been exposed, the elf stopped pretending and immediately used a binding spell on Jiang Shuzhou.

Counterspell.

Jiang Shuzhou was naturally not going to be hit; he directly countered the spell.

Although the counterattack was successful, Jiang Shuzhou couldn't help but frown.

This thing is so hard to counter, it's like a divine spell.

No, this is divine magic!

After thinking about it, Jiang Shuzhou threw a faith test over.

However, it was white light.

A divine artifact?

But the elf had been stripped naked, so there was no way he could hide anything.

He is not a believer, has no faith, and is not a priest, yet he can unleash divine magic.

This is something only the offspring of gods can accomplish.

Bearing divine blood is like Gruush to the orcs.

However, all orcs are the offspring of Gruulsh, and this bond will not fade with time or perish with the dilution of their bloodline.

"You mean all elves can cast this spell?"

Jim was taken aback, then said.

"Yes, sir, that's what they advertise, and I've personally witnessed many elves casting such spells, including healing and purification."

If we eliminate all the impossibilities, then there is only one truth.

These elves are descendants of gods.

But here is the problem.

Since the ancient war, all the elven gods have perished, their divine status divided among the human gods, making resurrection virtually impossible.

How did they manage to produce the descendants of the gods?

Logically speaking, divine offspring are generally children born to gods before they became gods.

The higher the level of a superhuman, the more difficult it is for them to reproduce, and the lower the chance of leaving offspring.

Therefore, many gods have no divine descendants at all, and even those who do have a gradually declining lineage.

After all, as bloodlines dilute, the connection between gods and their offspring weakens, until in the end nothing remains but a title.

Furthermore, becoming a descendant of a god is not a good thing in itself. After all, your ancestor could be resurrected and possess you at any time. How could that be a good thing?

"You filthy monkey, how dare you touch such a noble descendant of gods?"

Sure enough, elves who haven't been thoroughly beaten up by the League have absolutely no manners.

However, Jiang Shuzhou planned to extract some information first.

"Descendants of gods? I don't believe it. At most, there are only a few individuals who are, how could the entire race be?"

"You're talking nonsense! I..."

Seemingly feeling insulted by the elves, the elf began a frenzied barrage of abuse.

However, Jiang Shuzhou didn't care at all. These insults, combined with the elf's situation in the cage, didn't seem aggressive at all.

Extracting the information, it seems that everyone in the Elven race, except for the mixed-race individuals, is of divine lineage.

Is something wrong with this?

Jiang Shuzhou began to think.

The condition for the emergence of divine offspring is that they are direct relatives of the gods before their ascension.

Three generations above, five generations below.

Wait, three generations ago?

Weren't those elves fallen from the tree?

Then wouldn't his parents be...?

The Fairy Mother Tree!

The largest of them is known as the Elf World Tree.

Jiang Shuzhou suddenly understood.

Almost all elves are of divine lineage!

Not just the underground elves, but also those on the surface, the orthodox elves with the Elf World Tree, are even divine offspring!

The Mage Alliance has been scammed!

These elves exploited people's blind spots, leading the mages to mistakenly believe that they had no problems.

After all, the Elven race is known for its low birth rate.

None of the elven gods had children.

So they don't seem to have any divine descendants.

But is this really the case?

Those gods, they have no children, but they have parents, brothers and sisters!

And under these special circumstances, they are all able to pass the test completely.

After all, even a mage would never have imagined that there would be a descendant of gods who did not believe in their ancestors and did not cast divine spells.

No wonder these elves are so confident.

At first, Jiang Shuzhou thought it was just a simple letter.

Surprisingly, there really was something there.

Fortunately, this underground elf was quite outrageous and directly exposed the secret.

Fortunately, Jiang Shuzhou had done extensive research on deities, and his logical thinking and associative abilities were extremely strong, so he immediately thought of this possibility.

However, in that case, these elves probably cannot be allowed to live.

They were either kept as captives by Jiang Shuzhou or faced death.

After all, with Jiang Shuzhou's strength, he didn't even have the qualifications to report the elves. If the elves on the ground found out, he would be finished.

Moreover, he wanted to achieve even more.

If you report it now, Jiang Shuzhou will at most receive a small reward.

They might also face retaliation from the elves.

This race, possessing legendary mages, can be wiped out with a single curse.

But what about in the future?

The elves have betrayed their country and are now facing a treacherous alliance. The legendary alchemist Navis leads an army to raid the elven stronghold, where he joins other legendary mages to carve up the elven territory and spoils.

And of course, there's the Elf World Tree.

This is a wonderful thing; even just smelling it can prolong your life!

Thinking of this, Jiang Shuzhou's eyes burned with fervor and determination.

"Quickly, bring out this elf."

"?"

"Please invite him to my lab!"

Jiang Shuzhou decided to draw a vial of blood first to test the product, so that he could use it to start a war in the council when the opportunity arose later.

This move is a classic among classics.

"You can't do this to me!"

The elf roared, but it was no use.

At this point, Jiang Shuzhou could no longer hear his voice.

The Elf World Tree was beckoning to Jiang Shuzhou.

Jiang Shuzhou's mind was now filled with ideas on how to deal with these underground spirits.

Should we raise them underground and slowly extract their divinity from their blood, or should we kill them all at once and extract some divinity first?

"You..."

Seeing that resistance and verbal threats were ineffective, the elf began to curse again.

Let's just kill them all to stop the noise.

"Relax, it won't hurt. Of course, you'll never wake up."

With the injection of anesthetic, the elf gradually lost the strength to resist and returned to calm.

"I've never dissected an elf before, this is the perfect opportunity to do it all."

As Jiang Shuzhou spoke, the elf quickly turned into a pile.

However, in order to maintain the accuracy of the results, the elves remained alive until Jiang Shuzhou spoke frankly and openly.

Finally, the experiment showed that there was indeed a trace of divinity in the flesh and blood of this elf.

In other words, he is indeed a descendant of gods.
