Chapter 165 (1/2)
The elves in Torre world were originally foreign intelligent creatures. When corelon, the main god of elves, came to this world, he created the elves race.
The elves in torrell world are rough, crazy and ugly. They are thin but full of power, just like thin monkeys. In order to adapt to the life of bows and arrows and forest hunting, they have thick joints and strong muscles and bones. Both physical quality and soul quality are very good. The only deficiency is that their appearance is very different from human aesthetics.
The proportion of their facial features is too strange compared with people, and their characteristics are also very prominent. Their pointed ears destroy the sense of balance of their facial features, so that when humans see the appearance of elves, they are too ”strange”, and their pointed and thin jaws make their faces distorted and their eyes pick up, like wild animals, which is particularly strange.
Generally speaking, elves are an alien race with obvious characteristics. Their aesthetics and biological nature are obviously different from human beings.
But the two maias are different.
They are like the gods coming out of the legend, and the incarnations of ancient heroes and demigods in the present world. To be fair, they are more divine than most gods. Because they are perfect, the symbol of cosmic aesthetics, the embodiment of harmony, elegance, all order and beauty. They have soft facial features, beautiful body, and their manners have soft background light and singing.
Even Lyra and Ilminster felt a sense of oppression in front of them, and the rolling on their appearance brought weight-bearing psychological pressure. They can hardly even doubt the two maias, the bright and beautiful divine existence.
”Two enus, I still can't understand your existence, your purpose? Purpose? History and past? We know nothing about you and don't know how to accept you!” Ilminster stared at their hard to look at faces for a moment. He flashed his eyes because of the harsh soft light. He frankly expressed his worries.
Chen ang and another Maiya looked at each other and said calmly, ”we understand your concerns. Enus is a demigod. We were born from the force because of the influence of morgos. Vera, our most powerful brother, is also a member of the gods. Morgos, or milko, is the most powerful Vera among us.”
”We were once a part of the world. In the unknown breath of the force, we blew the whole universe. In this ancient and long history, we were ignorant and unconscious, and only the essence and mission existed in the world. We hid in all things, and our will was manifest in the breath of the force. Until morgos found us, he became a part of us...”
Ilminster took out his pipe and meditated deeply. He was thinking about part of the essence of morgos, but there were still too many unknown things in the world for him. He could only barely understand part of the essence of Vera's existence.
”Do you know what our mission is?” asked Ilminster, smoking his pipe.
Chen ang didn't speak, but raised his right hand. Under the dim light of the fireplace, the light reflected by the two maias became more and more rich. Their platinum blond hair flowed slowly, as sacred. Chen ang grabbed his backhand in the soft light, as if he had pulled something. He spread out his palm, and an indescribable beautiful gem lay quietly in his palm.
The light on the two maias suddenly dimmed, and all the light gathered at the center of the diamond. It was brilliant, more dazzling than the sun, more sacred than the gods, and the great and beautiful existence that nothing could look directly at.
Lyra was almost suffocated. She could not escape this beautiful captive. In a moment, this pure white gem conquered her with the light and holiness of the stars, the sun and the moon. She stared at the diamond with her big bright eyes. In the past, her eyes were as bright as stars. There was nothing special against the diamond. She was so addicted that she forgot everything.
Ilminster was frightened to get rid of the temptation of the diamond. He was as scared as a tiger. After the extreme greatness and dazzling, there was endless extreme pain and despair.
”This gem is ominous! Its brilliance is brilliant, but it is also bloody and desperate. I have seen the thick shadow and misery like the abyss behind its brilliance. This gem has received the favor of fate, the goddess of luck cursed it, and the goddess of doom blessed it. Those who shine for it will be destroyed because of it!”
Ilminster asserted that the brilliant treasure had drilled down. He turned his head and dared not look directly at it.
”Nonsense! Irminster, this is clearly a holy gem. Its great power and brilliance can bring darkness and light, happiness and goodness to the world. We can all feel its essence and fraternity. It is pure goodness that can't tolerate any impurity, and it is blessed by the gods...” Lyra couldn't help retorting.
”The great sage is right...” Maia, a woman who had not spoken for a long time, said: ”this is a shining light blessed by the gods and favored by the force, but it is also an existence cursed by morgos. He seals the light and holiness in the shell of the gem, and uses seven kinds of darkness such as jealousy, greed, fear and laziness as the shell of the gem.”
”This is a cursed gem sealed with great power.”
”Do you mean that the Dark Lord is afraid of this gem?” Ilminster was acutely aware of what she did not say. ”The curse imposed by milko on this sacred force, anyone who tries to possess it must be unlucky. This diamond will bring disaster, war and bad luck to its owner.”
”Even he can't avoid it!” Chen ang added. He said seriously. ”Milko raised his eyes into the sky with the first diamond and turned them into the eye of morgos, a star hanging in the north. He polluted and changed the whole world with the power of magic and diamond and controlled all darkness and evil under the starlight.”
”This is the first diamond - the star that never sets in the daytime.”
