Chapter 264: The Secrets of God

Captain Brown, whose full name was Jonathan Brown, was the owner of Brown Shipbuilding Workshop. He graduated from the School of Alchemy of the Akkad Alchemy College and was a well-known alchemist. People preferred to call him “Little Brown” because he was the grandson of the famous “faker Lars,” Lars Brown.

Lars Brown carried out many research projects and made many inventions during his lifetime. Regarding the promotion and sharing of alchemy skills, he was in par with some of the most famous alchemists.

His most memorable invention was the steam engine. With the wider use of steam engines becoming prevalent in the Sean City-State Alliance, the name of Lars Brown was mentioned on a daily basis. It was incredible for a person with a normal background like him to have become such a prestigious and well-known alchemist.

Jonathan Brown was the first alchemist to build a steam wheel boat, and its popularity made him a well-known and wealthy man in the Sean City-State Alliance. After amassing a great deal of wealth and becoming a famous alchemist, Jonathan set his sights on the sea.

He hoped to recreate Marina Bossey’s miracle, thus paving the way to gain access to the Yala Continent and a connection with the magical elf world. From the elves’ various works of art to their peculiar medicines, as well as the gold and diamonds that were abundant in the Yala Continent, all of these things attracted the people of the Sean City-State Alliance.

Jonathan Brown was also eager to see elves with his own eyes, as they were legendary and were supposedly beautiful creatures. Jonathan first arrived at the southern part of the Yala Continent, where they traveled for a long time before they found one of the elf tribes, which were called the Sun Elves.

The Sun Elves lived on the edge of Sandro Highland, which was an endless highland. Sandro Highland was not a desolate desert, but was covered by soft grass and dense moss. The mountains were surrounded with clouds and mists. When the sun shone down upon this place, it looked as beautiful as a fairyland.

At this moment, the Sun Elves were in a very dangerous situation. The magical beasts in Sandro Highland were multiplying, while the living area of the Sun Elves was shrinking.

As a result, all of their scattered elves villages had been relocated to the surrounding areas of the Tree of Life. Even so, the decline of the Sun Elves seemed unstoppable.

Once again, the Sun Elves appealed to the Sylve Empire for help. But, as they lived far away from each other, the Sylve Empire could not always come in time, and they would not stay for long time even when they did make the journey to offer aid.

Thus, there were only two choices left for the Sun Elves. They must either become stronger or become part of the Sylve Empire.

At present, the Sun Elves were having difficulty making the final decision, and as the magical beasts in the depths of Sandro Highland were coming back again, ready to launch another disaster, time was of the essence!

This was a battle for survival, as both the magical beasts and the Sun Elves were fighting for their habitats. It was at this exact time that Jonathan’s fleet came to Sandro Highland and met the Sun Elves.

For the first time, the people from the Sean City-State Alliance were able to cast their eyes upon the most beautiful creatures in the world! Moreover, Jonathan had not only gotten the map from Marina Bossay, but he had also learned some Sylr, which was the elf’s language. Therefore, Jonathan could communicate with the elves.

The knights and alchemists in Jonathan’s fleet helped the Sun Elves fight off the magical beasts. Gunners jammed gunpowder into their barrels and shot magic beasts, while Blood Knights cooperated with the elves to fight on the ground. The alchemists even used their alchemy cannons to tear the magic beasts to pieces!

The alchemists also used all kinds of witchcraft and alchemy props to aid the Sun Elves. Jonathan used alchemy props that were made with the magical beasts’ deified cells, and many alchemists and knights were equipped with specially modified mechanical arms.

Their strong fighting capacity impressed the Sun Elves immensely. Thus, Jonathan’s crew quickly built friendships with the Sun Elves and became their honored guests.

Jonathan had personally saved an elf shooter during the battle, and he had also won the admiration of an elf girl! During his stay with the Sun Elves tribe, the two fell in love.

Jonathan’s brave performance in the battle had also impressed the elf elders. So, when Jonathan requested to marry the elf girl, they readily agreed and gave their blessing. The pair were then married under the Tree of Life.

This grand wedding was attended by tens of thousands of elves. They danced and sang, showing Jonathan the passion and merriment that the elves were so well-known for. Jonathan’s marriage with the beautiful elf girl instantly made all of his crew members envious.

After exchanging alchemy cannons and various goods from the human world with the Sun Elves, Jonathan began to travel to the most powerful elf tribe in Marina Bossay’s adventure records. This tribe was known as the Sylve Empire and was very different from the Sun Elves. In addition to Jonathan’s wife, Rosea, several Sun Elves, who were going to study in the Corolla Tower in the Sylve Empire, accompanied Jonathan.

Jonathan stood at the ship’s head with his wife in his arms. Rosea looked at Jonathan and said, “I find that the power of the alchemists is very similar to that of the elf wizards!”

Jonathan looked at his wife with loving eyes as he told her a secret, “I heard from my grandfather that the origin of the alchemists were actually the wizards. This is a forbidden secret among the alchemists!”

Rosea then asked him, “Are wizards the most powerful existences in the world?”

Jonathan immediately shook his head. “No. The most powerful are the gods. No one is more powerful than the gods. Also, besides wizards, there are priests of the Faith of the Sun, the priests of the Church of Light, and the Holy Knights of the Faith of the Sun on the Alen Continent. They are all equally or more powerful than the wizards!”

Jonathan then said, “In addition, there are some evil powers, such as demons and demon warlocks, which are said to belong to another evil and chaotic world. They do not belong to our world. There are also dragons. Also, wizards are divided into different groups and hold different powers. There are…”

As Rosea was listening to Jonathan talk about the outside world, she realized that the world was so big, so vast, and so extensive! It was astounding to her to hear that there were countless powerful races in the world, with all kinds of extraordinary powers!

“We Sun Elves only worship the Tree of Life, and now, there are not many left who worship the Lord of Natural Order. Moreover, I heard that the Moonlight Elves have their own god, and they are helping that god to ascend the throne. No wonder the Moonlight Elves have become so powerful. I heard that even the Sylve Empire dared not offend them!” Rosea told Jonathan.

Jonathan suddenly turned around and looked at Rosea as he asked, “What did you just say?”

After that, he shook his head, as if he had just heard the strangest thing. “How could it be possible that gods exist? Nobody knows how they are born. The Moon Elves want to create their own god? How is that possible?”

Rosea was confused by his words, so she asked, “I heard it from my father after he had gotten drunk. He was an elder of our tribe and had stayed with the Moonlight Elves. He wanted to learn the Moonlight Elves’ magic in order to protect our tribe.”

She took a breath, then continued to explain, “He stayed there for a period of time and participated in their sacrificial rituals. The Moonlight Elves relied on the power of their god to protect the Silver Moon Forest. As such, they have become much stronger than us, but originally, we were pretty much the same in regards to power. I thought that, perhaps if we had our own god, then our tribe would not be afraid of those beasts!”

Jonathan believed Rosea would not lie to him, but he still felt what she said was impossible.

“Whether this is true or false, we should still not mention it to the others. Let’s keep this our secret and tell no one for now, as it would only bring disaster to us!” Jonathan said.
