How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 360 : The Origin of Two Countries

"Empress Elashia's surna?"

This question not only stunned Adeline, but also left everyone in the carriage except Ileina confused.

Elashia... wasn't her surna just Elashia?

If everyone rembered correctly, "Elashia (erathia)" should be the surna of the Elasia royal family...

Since the old emperor of Elasia had extrely disliked her since Elashia's birth, he hadn't even given her a na, so everyone had been using her surna—"Elashia"—to address her...

"Mm... did you forget? My birth has nothing to do with Elasia."

Looking at everyone's confused expressions, Elashia smiled and explained:

"Empress Alexandra is my biological mother."

"And although the ti I've spent with mother hasn't been too much yet, we've already recognized each other."

"So from this perspective—I should actually be a mber of the Iron family, so I should be surnad 'Stiel.'"

Caroline thought for a mont and asked Elashia:

"So... Empress Elashia's full na should actually be 'Elashia Stiel'?"

"Mm... you could say that."

Elashia nodded.

"Since everyone has been calling 'Elashia' in the past, I'll continue to use that as my na."

Adeline nodded, but then asked in confusion:

"But... Empress Elashia, this matter doesn't seem to have any relation to our previous question?"

"Don't be impatient, Miss Adeline."

Elashia smiled and shook her head.

"Actually, my surna is very much related to the story behind our three countries... and the relationship is quite close."

At this point, Elashia said seriously to everyone in the carriage:

"To answer Miss Adeline's question just now, we must ntion events from over ten thousand years ago..."

"To put it simply..."

Elashia organized her words a bit and said slowly:

"The origin of the story is probably over ten thousand years ago, when humans were still food for various races..."

"In that era, the most powerful race on the entire continent was the demon race, which has now been exterminated by the Iron Empire... and most humans were livestock of the demon race."

"In that darkest of tis, humans didn't have the tradition of giving themselves nas... the only way to distinguish identity was through the numbers that the demon race gave to each person."

"Humans, let alone resisting demon enslavent... hadn't even invented writing yet."

"And in this age of despair, the greatest hero in human history appeared... she nad herself—'Stiel.'"

"It was this hero who created humanity's magic system, and it was this hero who led humans to break through the demon race's heavy encirclent and reach the new continent she discovered using [See Through Earth] magic..."

"[See Through Earth] is a spell with an extrely wide range that can discover resources buried deep underground. She used this spell to successfully discover that there were large veins of iron ore south of the demon territory."

"Iron ore is a type of special steel that is completely black."

"In terms of flexibility and sturdiness, iron ore actually doesn't have any outstanding qualities."

"But the reason Stiel chose this place as their refuge destination was that—iron ore is a substance that can defend against blessing magic."

"After the people who successfully escaped to the south of demon territory mined the iron ore and made it into armor, demon magic had greatly reduced effect on them."

"And it was precisely because of gratitude for this treasure of unknown origin that Stiel nad both herself and the country [Iron]..."

"Empress Elashia, speak faster... don't keep people in suspense."

Having listened to Elashia for a while without hearing the main point, Caroline pouted with so dissatisfaction.

"All good stories need buildup, don't they?"

Dorothy crossed her long legs clad in tight leather pants and smiled at Caroline.

Adeline beside Caroline glared at her as usual.

"Really, if she spoke too fast you'd complain too."

"You're the only one in this entire carriage who has nothing to do."

"Hehe... true."

Caroline scratched her head and gave Elashia an apologetic smile.

"It's okay, Miss Caroline..."

Elashia smiled sowhat mischievously at Caroline.

"Because the story is about to end soon."

"Eh? No... what will I do today when the story ends..."

Caroline's little face imdiately beca panicked.

"Hmph hmph... then please don't rush , Miss Caroline."

Looking at the pleading Caroline, Elashia continued narrating:

"Just now we talked about the founding of the Iron Empire... and next is the extrely long human-demon war..."

"After about a hundred years... the gradually strengthening Iron Empire made the demon race realize the danger of letting it develop, so they naturally sent a considerably powerful army to destroy the Iron Empire."

"At that ti, the demon race's leader was a quite capable demon lord who had formally unified all the demon tribes and concentrated most of the demon race's power to attack the Iron Empire."

"And this great war was indeed protracted... both sides suffered heavy casualties."

"After the war continued for about half a year, the scales of victory gradually tilted toward the demon race, which had much deeper foundations."

"And on the verge of national destruction... the human ancestor Stiel made an extrely tragic decision—she would use the magic she had just developed—[Doomsday Judgnt]—to reverse the situation."

"And ultimately, after Stiel used [Doomsday Judgnt], which had extrely strong backlash effects on herself, causing great casualties to the demon army and forcing the demons to withdraw, she herself realized that her days were numbered..."

"At the end of her life, realizing that the Iron Empire would still face great risk of national destruction after her death, Stiel made a very important decision—she couldn't put all eggs in one basket."

"Combined with the fact that humans internally had significant divisions before her death due to different ideologies and many other reasons, she decided—she would use ruthless violence and commands before her death to force so people to form migration teams, requiring them to cross the dangerous Northern Forests to explore new lands where they could survive."

"This way, even if the Iron Empire was destroyed after her death, the fire of humanity could still be passed down generation after generation."

"And this is the origin of Elasia and the Holy Kingdom..."
