A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

"Do you know the 'Holy Tree'?" Marnus asked.

"I heard Karen mention it, but didn't go into details."

"The Holy Tree was once called the World Tree and was also the center of the continent. But now it can only be located on the split land..."

After sighing, Marnus began to talk:

Legend has it that at the beginning of the birth of the world, the world was chaotic and bleak.

There is a towering giant tree growing in the center of the continent. It emits warm and bright sacred light all year round. It replaces the sun that is obscured by chaos and becomes the only source of light for the entire world. Above and under the tree, live the first inhabitants of this world. , that is, the elves.

The World Tree provides them with food, water, accommodation, and the most important light source. The only thing the elves have to do is to believe in the World Tree and protect the World Tree from chaos.

The first Elf King had two sons, Aelin and Ondom, whose names represent "dawn" and "dusk" respectively.

The eldest son Ailin was deeply loved by the gods and was designated as the next Elf King. The second son Ondom did not have any negative emotions because of this, and made an oath in front of the gods to assist his brother throughout his life. Guard the borders of the World Tree for him until the end of the world...

A long time later, under the leadership of the two brothers, the elves used the power of the World Tree to eliminate the chaos that enveloped the entire continent.

The elves no longer need to live around the World Tree, and can explore the entire world at will, and discover the ancestors of various other races that were not yet civilized at the time.

Out of their natural kindness, the elves taught them advanced production techniques and even the ability to communicate with the elements, known as magic.

Just like this, I don't know how much time passed, and even the elves with the longest lifespans came to the end of their lives.

The first elf king once again called his two sons to the bedside and said to them:

"My two children, two wise and brave sons, the gods will lead me to the place where my soul will rest forever. The future of the tribe is entrusted to you two."

"I am honored to witness the world move from chaos to order, from darkness to light..."

"Hopefully you two can lead it to a brighter future..."

The wise king who was admired and loved by the whole continent passed away, and the whole world mourned.

This makes Ailin, who is about to ascend the throne, feel unprecedented pressure. In terms of merit and popular support, he and his brothers can't even compare to his father by half, so how can he convince the public?

He asked his brother for advice, and the brother only gave one solution, which was to keep himself away from the World Tree. The two of them had equal merits. If the younger brother Undom stayed with his elder brother, sooner or later it would trigger comparisons between other races. , will naturally divide into two factions, which is detrimental to the leadership of the elves.

"Brother, this separation may last forever, but I sincerely wish you and the great elves a prosperous and everlasting life..."

Undom left, and along with his followers, Aelin's status among the elves was no longer in question.

As time goes by, hundreds of generations have passed outside the Elf clan, but Aelin still sits firmly on the throne. During this period, the Elf clan has always served as a neutral position as the "mediator of the world", helping all races on the mainland to develop steadily with the most impartial attitude.

And the elves led by Ondom left the shining light of the World Tree. Over the long years, their fair and shining skin gradually turned gray and dull.

At that time, Undom realized that the World Tree had long been deeply bound to their elves. Leaving the World Tree would be a betrayal and would be deprived of the glory of being a guardian by the World Tree, and there would be no chance of turning over. ...

How could the once beautiful and light-loving elves accept this change? Their mentality gradually became distorted in the process.

They began to abandon their belief in the World Tree and turned to the embrace of darkness and chaos.

Calling himself the "Dark Elf", he made Ondom king and tried to destroy the World Tree and return the world to chaos.

Then came war…endless war…

When Undom was finally defeated and knelt in front of Ailin, and the two brothers reunited after several epochs, Ailin just said lightly:

"My brother, look at how you look now, you have blended into the chaos you once were."

"Why should you take refuge in darkness, why should you be a servant of chaos?"

Undom said nothing, as if he was admitting his guilt.

"Yet I will pardon your sins, my brother."

Ailin said so.

"However, you and your dark elves are not allowed to take another step into the forest of the world. From today on, until the end of the world..."

"This cup of wine made from the fruit of the World Tree is a farewell for you and my brother..."

It was supposed to be a fraternal reconciliation and a magnanimous exile.

But everything took a turn for the worst after Elf King Ailin drank that glass of wine.

Just when Undom left the World Tree and returned to his tribe, Ailin, who was in the World Tree Palace, suddenly became poisonous and died on the spot.

There was chaos in the palace. In this case, no one would doubt that Undom was responsible for this.

The war is about to break out. Former compatriots, now enemies, kill each other under the world tree that grows together...

It is said that a bloody rain fell from the sky that night, dyeing the pure white World Tree scarlet...

This night will later be known as the "Night of Tears"...

The worst murder since the beginning of the world, brother to brother.

Not only did it cause a huge blow to the powerful elves, it also created a feud with the dark elves that continues to this day.

The dark elves, after all, are just a group of wanderers who tried to leave their hometown for the first time, but they were cursed inexplicably. They have been ostracized by all races and have no fixed place to live. They are treated as slaves and the embodiment of evil while they are alive, and they are also the embodiment of evil after death. Can't get back to the roots...

......

"So, is this matter credible?" Bai Ye asked.

"It's so old that it's difficult to verify, but in my opinion, legends are 30% true and 70% false. You can't believe them all or not." Marnus has been in the world for nearly five hundred years, and there are many See everything clearly.

"This matter is only a one-sided perspective of the elves. I think there may be a hidden meaning..."

"...But this is not very important anymore. All mistakes have been made, and the Dark Elves have entered the situation they are in now. There is no way back to the past between the two races... .”

"From this story, you should also be able to see that the elves used to help other races out of spontaneous kindness, but the second half of this story is completely full of disgust and contempt for other races, even their former compatriots No exception."

"Call yourself a holy elf?"

"Incredibly stupid and extremely arrogant..."

"In my opinion, it is this arrogance over other races that ruined the elves..."
