The Death List Novel - Chapter 371
Chapter 371 The First Branch Story
“Apostle 70053, you have triggered the migration of the Jondar Moon Fairy, the common branch of the Jondar Fairy and the Ank Fairy!”
[Migration of the Jondar Moon Fairies: (Major Branch storyline)] The Jondar Moon Fairies, under the suppression of three generations of ruling Elf Kings and the Green Fairies, finally made the decision to migrate to the Anke Forest and merge with the Anke Moon Fairies.
Mission Objective: After the apostle takes over the mission, he will need to help the Jondar Moon Fairy move safely to Anke Forest. The relocation operation will be conducted in three phases and is expected to take two natural months. If the mission is undertaken, the apostles and their associated apostle teams will be given an additional month of stay.
Mission reward: Depending on the apostle’s contribution to the mission, the mission’s basic requirement is to help the Moon Fairy complete at least one migration mission.
Hint: This branch storyline was triggered independently by Apostle 70053, obtaining 0.003% world exploration. The fortress guild does not have shared information at this time. The apostle can choose whether to let the other guild members share the task. After completing this mission, there is a high chance of increasing the exploration of the world and seizing the source of the related world.
[Hint: This branch storyline has the possibility of reaching 0.01% world exploration, and can be used as a preparatory main mission in case the team abandons the scheduled main storyline.] [Hint: This branch storyline has the possibility of reaching 0.01% world exploration.]
Looking at the prompt on the death list, Qin Lun frowned slightly. He originally thought that it was unknown whether the Moon Fairy would migrate, but now it seemed that after receiving some information, the Broken Star System had already confirmed this historical plot.
It seemed like the Jondar Moon Fairy’s migration to Anke Forest was a general trend, not something that anyone could stop. Thinking of this, Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat. Judging from King Testament’s current performance, he was a shrewd king. It was impossible for him to be unaware of such a situation, so why did he still have to do useless work?
Thinking back to what Elistine had just said, Qin Lun instantly came to a deeper understanding of King Testament’s thoughts. Rome was not built in a day. The discontent of the Jondar Moon Fairies did not begin right now. King Testament’s reign was still too short to bridge the gap between the two races. Moreover, under the current situation, his goodwill towards the Moon Fairy would probably be viewed as ulterior motives by the tribal elders.
This kind of misunderstanding was definitely not something that could be dispelled by one or two descendants of the royal bloodline. Furthermore, the Moon Fairies, as the original ruling Jondahl clan, wanted to regain control of the Demon Cup Royal Court, or even let a certain Moon Fairy ascend to the Elf throne.
This was an irresolvable political contradiction that meant civil war in human society. How could King Testament satisfy this condition? As a result, the overall migration of the Moon Fairy Clan became a general trend, and no one could stop it, even Elistine, a descendant of the royal family.
Thinking of this, Qin Lun began to understand why King Testament wanted to rope him in with Elistine. This shrewd king did not want to retain the entire Moon Fairy Clan, but rather wanted to leave behind a portion of the pure bloodline of the former royal family.
The purer the bloodline of the Jondar Moon Fairy was, the thicker the ancient inheritance in her bloodline would be. The stronger these descendants were, the more inheritances they would awaken in their bloodlines, thus preserving as much Yuan Qi as possible for the Demon Cup Royal Court.
The current dilemma of the Demon Cup Court was not just that they did not have World Tree seeds. They also lacked elven priests and druids who could use secret techniques to care for World Tree seeds. The green elves alone could not do this.
The difference between the Moon Fairy and the Green Fairy was that the Moon Fairy possessed excellent elemental affinity. Most of the ancient inheritances were priests, mages, and druids, while the Green Fairy’s physique was even stronger. The ancient inheritance consisted mainly of rangers, archers, knights, and warriors.
This was also the reason why the high-level Moon Fairy had died after activating the Water Elemental Forbidden Curse, while the Green Fairy still had a high-level expert who could succeed the Fairy King.
Should we share this branch story with the fortress team?
Qin Lun’s eyes flickered as he subconsciously rubbed his chin. The plot of this branch had been estimated to have reached at least 0.01% of the world exploration level by the Broken Star System. Based on Ferren’s vast world background, it was estimated that it was a grand plot that could affect 0.01% of history.
From the looks of it, the Jondahl Moon Fairy’s integration into the Ank Forest should be considered a major event in Faylon’s history. There would definitely be a very important aftermath, and perhaps they would even be able to get in touch with some of the Ank Fairy’s plot lines.
However, the storyline quest of this branch could not be considered a good quest. From Qin Lun’s point of view, at the very least, the quest cost was not proportional to the gain. Internally, this mission was guided by his Moonlight Fairy bloodline. Even if he shared it with the fortress guild, he had to participate. After rejecting the Fairy King’s offer, it was very likely that he would no longer be able to participate in the main plot of the Demon Cup Royal Court.
Externally, the Anke Forest was located to the west of the Jondar Forest. On the way, they had to cross the golden plains of the Jondas Kingdom, as well as part of the territory of the Kingdom of Seth-Patz. The human lords of the Kingdom of Jondas would definitely not give up this heaven-bestowed opportunity to retaliate against their enemies. It was foreseeable that they would be attacked by some organized and premeditated “bandit groups”.
In addition, the use of this mission for the duration of the apostles’ stay was very low. The elves’ physical fitness far surpassed that of humans. Even the elderly, women, and children possessed certain combat strength. If they traveled smoothly from Jondar Forest to Anke Forest, it would only take about a week at most. In fact, three migrations would take less than two months.
However, large-scale migration is not tourism, and preparation before migration takes up most of the time. After accepting this mission, the fortress guild could only passively wait for the migration to begin. Most of the additional one-month stay would be wasted in idleness.
‘”Ferrar, Ferrar ~ ~” Elistine looked at Qin Lun strangely. This Moon Elf “fellow” had been lost in her thoughts since just now, and her expression changed. She didn’t react after screaming a few times, causing her to feel a wave of madness. “Ferrar, Ferrar ~ ~ ~ ~” Elistine looked at Qin Lun strangely.
“Hmm? Hmm, Elistine, what’s wrong?” Qin Lun finally recovered from his thoughts and explained with a smile, “Sorry, I just remembered something important!”
“Ferrari, judging from your pure bloodline, you should be a member of the royal family in your previous life. In the future, you will definitely awaken some kind of inheritance. If you go with me to look for the tribal elders, they might change their minds about migrating!” Elistine looked at Qin Lun expectantly.
“No, Elistine, I can’t go with you to the tribal elders.” After a moment of silence, Qin Lun refused.
“Why? Ferrari, this encounter with the elven envoy has proved that the Kingdom of Jondas has ill intentions towards us. They will definitely lose their clansmen in the process of relocation. Why not stay in the Jondar Forest? At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, King Testament had already promised to let the Moon Fairies move into the royal court, and had also promised to allocate seats to the Moon Fairies on the Council of Elders … ”
“The Elf King cannot act arbitrarily. It involves the overall interests of the Green Elves. He must have the support of the Elder Council.” Qin Lun smiled and interrupted Elistine, “King Testament hasn’t succeeded in carrying out this decree for decades. Why do you believe that he has the ability to fulfill his promise?”
“I believe King Testament can do it. It’s different now. The Green Elves need us. Elder Wang will know this.” Elistine hesitated for a moment and patiently explained.
“It was only because they needed the Moon Fairies that they made concessions, wasn’t it?” Qin Lun smiled meaningfully and narrowed his eyes. “What if they don’t need the Moon Fairies for the next 10,000 years when the third generation World Tree survives?”
“King Testament will not do this. The elders of the Green Elves do not dare to do this. Betrayal will be despised by all the Fairies!” Elistine’s entire body trembled as he opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief.
“Perhaps not this generation of Green Elves, but don’t forget our traditions. Just like the Sun Elves who lost their ancient heritage and always thought of themselves as the supreme bloodline of the Ferren Elves, the Jondahl Moon Elves will never forget that they were once the true masters of the Demon Cup Royal Court.”
Qin Lun’s soft voice pierced Elistine’s ears like a sharp sword, as if a bronze bell rang in her mind, “Why did the Third Generation Green Elf King so stubbornly expel the Moon Elves from the Demon Cup Royal Court? And why would the Moon Elf Elders at that time be willing to move all of their clansmen out of the Royal Court and set up a tribe outside the forest?” Could it be that they were all really unconscious?
Of course not, because they all clearly understood that as long as the Moon Fairies remained in the Demon Cup Royal Court for one day, as long as the Green Fairies did not restore the tradition of the Moon Fairy Throne, the Demon Cup Royal Court would always be divided, and there was even the possibility of a humiliating civil war in Jondal!
Therefore, since the three generations of Green Elf Kings were unwilling to return to the throne, they could only squeeze out the Moon Elves. “The elders of the Moon Fairies were well aware of this, so they gave up the battle for the throne and let the Moon Fairies move out of the palace.”
Qin Lun looked at Elistine, who was a little lost, and continued with a smile, “King Testament is a wise king. His promise can be trusted. Perhaps after the World Tree Crisis, the Green Fairy and the Moon Fairy will merge in two generations, but as long as the legacies of the two races do not merge into one, it is only a matter of time before they split again.”
Back then, the Moon Fairy handed over the throne because of the external war crisis and needed the help of the Green Fairy. This time, the internal crisis was caused by the green elves. If they wanted to completely repair the cracks, King Testament would naturally have to hand over the throne. However, how could the Moon Elves be convinced by the few seats of elders?
“To take a step back, this migration is the decision of most of the Moon Fairy Tribes. Not to mention that we only have a bit of royal bloodline, even if we are the Moon Fairy King, we cannot overturn the joint decision of all the tribal elders and clansmen.”
“But … the dangers of the clansmen … King Testament … Kris …”
Elistine had not washed the druid’s camouflage paint off her face, but her somewhat wooden sitting posture and the slight nonsense in her mouth could tell that the elven druid’s mind was in a mess.
Qin Lun stopped talking and just looked at her quietly. There were several times when Elistine wanted to say something, but in the end, he fell silent again, his expression becoming more and more dispirited.
“It’s inevitable that our clansmen will encounter danger on their journey, but the Anke Forest is ruled by the Moon Fairies. After they go, they will only live a better life. You don’t need to worry about everyone!” Qin Lun was worried that this soft elf girl would be hurt too deeply by his words, so he immediately comforted her.
Elistine thought for a long time before he finally understood what was going on. Then, he looked at Qin Lun worriedly and said, “Then … King Testament’s side …”
“It’s good that you don’t know anything. You’ve always lived in a tree house outside the forest. Don’t you want to get involved in these troublesome things?” Qin Lun rubbed his temples in frustration. He found that he had too many mouths, which made the elven druid treat him like a universal glue and touch everything.
“Also, if you really care about your clansmen, then it’s best to ignore King Testament’s suggestion. He doesn’t necessarily want to retain the Moon Fairy Tribe that he was destined to leave. Perhaps it’s only for a royal bloodline like you that possesses the ancient heritage of the Moon Fairies.”
“En!” This time, Elistine understood very quickly that druids like her were best suited to take care of World Tree seeds.
If the descendants of the Jondar Moon Fairy’s royal bloodline continued to stay in the Jondar Forest regardless of the other clansmen, then even if the Jondar Moon Fairy Tribe went to the Anke Forest, they would probably receive much less attention.
