Chapter 265 The orderly succession of Silver Moon High Court

 Speaking of elves, they generally refer to the high elves of Silvermoon Highgarden, as well as some wood elves scattered around the country. The drow are essentially a branch of the elves, but they are mortal enemies of other elves.

The rite of passage for female drow generally involves coming to the surface, kidnapping an elf, returning it to the Underdark, and performing a blood sacrifice to the Lolsilk Spider Queen.

 Generally speaking, drow elves who can offer elves as sacrifices will receive the blessing of the Lolsilk Spider Queen.

 But later it became increasingly difficult to capture the elves, so the drow sacrificed their own family members instead. Male drow are often sacrificed to the Rose Spider Queen. Naturally, it is difficult to get the approval of the gods for doing so. It can only be said to be reluctant to let the Rose Spider Queen not impose punishment.

Over the years, the drow have killed countless elves, and the blood feud between the two is so strong that it cannot be resolved.

  But what is interesting is that Queen Rose Spider is actually a member of the elven gods, and her status is extremely noble.

 The ex-husband of the Spider Queen Lolth is none other than the Elf God-King Corellon Larethian.

Corellon Larethian is known as the most perfect elf. If any mortal could see his true face, he would fall in love with him irresistibly. His beauty does not distinguish between men and women, and his charm is countless times more exaggerated than Catherine's.

He is also a powerful warrior, a powerful magician, a philosopher, an artist, a musician... In short, the many virtues and talents of the elves basically come from this Elf God-King.

It's just that the price for this special express service is a bit expensive. Just sending the letter cost Amber repair more than a thousand gold coins.

Then Trisna must have suffered a lot of blood debt. If she was sent to Silvermoon Highgarden, she might be able to get a lot of reward.

 Catherine was quite happy at first. After so long, the lich finally remembered her. When I opened the letter, I saw that Amberxiu was really straightforward, with no polite words at all.

 Amberson wrote a letter to Catherine and mailed it to the inn in Manna City.

It won't take long to be sent to Silvermoon Highgarden, but the Elf Kingdom has long since closed its doors, so all letters need to be strictly inspected before they can be sent into the country.

Trisna is a legendary-level drow elf. She must have sacrificed many elves to gain the favor of the Rose Spider Queen, who gave her great power and allowed her to receive the blessings of the four goddesses.

 Finally, he brought up the matter about Arthur Lane again and asked when the elf king could come over to "prove his identity."

There are not many artifacts like the Code of the Undead that can communicate freely regardless of distance. The elves may not have such ultra-long-distance communication equipment. This kind of cross-border communication can usually only rely on mail.

 So when Amberxiu read in the book that the ex-husband of the Rose Spider Queen was the Elf God King, he was very, very confused.

This divine battle had many twists and turns, but ultimately ended in the defeat of the Rose Spider Queen.

 Later, it was discovered that Queen Rose Spider wanted to seize the power of the Elf God King, so she turned against her husband.

This delay lasted several days by the time Catherine received Ambrose's letter.

 Can such a husband get divorced? How demanding are the requirements for Rose Spider Queen?

 Lolth was punished and turned into half-man, half-spider by the Elven God-King. The drow, who were once members of the elves, also fell and became the underground elves they are today. Evil, cruelty and the superiority of women to men are their racial culture.

But regardless of whether this statement is correct or not, it can illustrate the power of this Elf God King. Coupled with the large number of elven gods, Corellon Larethian can be said to be the one with the highest power, status and strength among the gods.

The title of wife of the Elf God King obviously could not satisfy Rose's desire. She wanted more, so she gathered many evil gods to launch a rebellion.

There is also an unconfirmed theory that Corellon Larethian may be the most powerful **** under Io. Of course, the mages have different opinions. They believe that the goddess of magic is the invincible **** under Io.

  If you can't create undead, you have to recycle the waste. You can't lose everything.

 Because of Queen Lolth's hatred of the Elven God-King, the drow and surface elves became mortal enemies.

 Fortunately, there is such a thing as a teleportation array, and it is estimated that it can be delivered within a day.

After he killed the drow mistress, he asked Silvermoon Highgarden if they were interested in settling the blood debt of the drow, and then vaguely mentioned the issue of bounties.

 After reading the letter, there was not a single word of greeting.

Catherine was almost furious. This lich really didn't worry about her at all.

But Catherine was only angry for a short while, after all, what Amberxiu said was big things. The drow are an unforgettable stain on the elves and their greatest source of pain. A legendary drow must be a sinner recorded in Silvermoon Highgarden on the must-kill list.

Amberxiu was really helpful this time, Silvermoon Highgarden even owed him a favor.

 Therefore, Catherine quickly came to the Elf King with a letter...strictly speaking, it should be the former Elf King.

After the last group of demon-addicted elves in Silvermoon Highgarden accepted the seal, Catherine declared her crime to the elves, which was a final explanation for her resignation as the Elf Queen.

It was her stupidity and arrogance that caused the elves to face the crisis of annihilation, and she also caused serious losses to the elves.

 So Catherine resigned and accepted the collective trial of all the elves.

 The results of the trial came out quickly, and the elves decided to forgive her.

 It’s really no wonder that the elves are soft-hearted. Who can look at Catherine’s face and punish her?

Moreover, she admitted it all.

 Therefore, the former Elf King Hildas Terra had to make a ruling in his own name, because Catherine's mistake would deprive her of all honors and treatment. In short, she would be demoted to a commoner.

This is already the heaviest punishment. If it were any heavier, he was afraid that many elves would rebel.

On this punishment, many elves feel that the punishment is too severe. After all, Catherine's intentions are good. She selflessly shared her power solely for the sake of the strength of the elves. Who knew that this kind of sharing would have side effects?

The new Elf King Aldarion Terra is also one of them. He is even preparing to lift this punishment for Catherine after taking office.

Then the new Elf King received a severe beating from his grandfather, which was done by Hildas Terra. The new Elf King was his grandson.

The elves do not inherit the throne by blood. They are usually selected from the legends in the kingdom. All the elves vote together to choose the next king.

Catherine's election was unanimously approved, and even her competitors chose to help her canvass votes.

 Aldarion Terra was the original competitor. After learning that Catherine was running for the Elf King, he did not hesitate to start a lecture tour with the theme of "Why Catherine is the next Elf Queen."

  It can be said that in the entire Silver Moon High Garden, the new Elf King is Catherine's most ardent fan.

This time Catherine took the blame and resigned, and Ardalian immediately chose to participate in the election. He tried every means to take over the throne from Catherine. In the end, Aldarion won by a very clear margin.

This is not only because Aldarian’s grandfather was once the Elf King and made a huge contribution to Silvermoon Highgarden, but also because Aldarian himself is very capable.

He was promoted to legend at a young age. During Catherine's reign, Aldarion was Catherine's right-hand man, a role similar to the Hand of the King. He also handled the government affairs in the kingdom very well, which actually made him not very fond of having children. The birth rate of the elves has increased significantly, and this political achievement alone is enough for him to be recorded in history.

Aldarion’s succession to the throne was expected by everyone. Even if his grandfather voted against it, he could only accept this fact in the end.

Who would have thought that Aldarion would overturn his decision as soon as he took the throne, so the gray-haired old elf simply threw away his political identity, took his grandson home and gave him a good beating.

Poor Aldarion was obviously a legendary ranger, but he didn't even dare to hide and could only be beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

In the end, the old elf used his seniority to suppress this ridiculous order, but he still couldn't stop Aldarion from giving Catherine various gifts, and he couldn't wait to give her the original treatment of a queen.

 Fortunately, Catherine knew she was wrong, so she never accepted these gifts, and lived in seclusion in a remote hut outside the royal city like an ordinary elf. Of course, Catherine cannot really enter the civilian area, otherwise the entire area will fall into chaos.

 Hence, it was very simple for Catherine to enter the royal city.

After a brief announcement, Catherine arrived in the royal city and met the new Elf King.

Aldarion looks like a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a typical elf appearance, handsome and elegant.

There are two gray-haired old men beside Ardalian. One of them is naturally Ardalian's grandfather, the former elf king, and there is an old man wearing a white-gold robe.

The rose and scale patterns on the robe told Catherine that this should be James Watson, the supreme judge of the Lion Empire.
