Star Catcher City, Elven Stronghold.
Elder Victor was sitting on a recliner as he listened to Angus' report. He did not speak for a long time, but he seemed to have aged more than ten years in this short period of time.
"Angus, are you kidding me?"
There were other Elves in the room who stayed behind. After hearing Angus' report, they all had expressions of disbelief.
"The new Elven Queen doesn't accept us? How is this possible? She must have been coerced by the humans to say that! "
Angus looked at his companions. He knew that this was very difficult to accept. In fact, when he heard the Queen say those words, he also felt that everything around him was collapsing in front of him.
They were like abandoned children of the world. They did not know where to go in the future at all.
However, he clearly knew that it was time to make a choice.
"The Queen is not being coerced."
Angus said in a deep voice, "The one guarding her is an ancient beast. She is free."
"The Queen said that the Elven Canyon was given by the Emperor of Roland. The Tree of Life was also saved by the Emperor of Roland."
"She … is loyal to the House of Roland. If we still have hostility towards Roland, then we will not be able to get her approval."
"Did the Queen really … say that?"
Elder Victor stared at Angus. His slightly cloudy old eyes had a sharp light.
Angus did not evade. "Yes, Elder Victor."
He recalled the ancient beast's advice to him. He pursed his lips and said, "Now is the time to make a choice. Please make the decision!"
The light in Elder Victor's eyes dimmed. He seemed a little dejected. He said in a low voice, "Since it is the Queen's order, then we can only do as she says."
"Elder Victor!"
An Elf beside him said loudly, "Have you forgotten? In the past, we had to pay a heavy price after our identities were exposed. "
"Humans can't be trusted. They can't tolerate other races at all! The Queen is young and has been blinded by the humans. Why are you fooling around with them? "
"Isaac!" Angus shouted to stop him.
The Elf named Isaac quieted down. There was still some anger on his face, but he did not say anything else.
"You think I am fooling around?"
"Isaac wouldn't dare."
Elder Victor smiled bitterly and said, "The forest elves who have lost the Mother Life Tree cannot even compare to humans."
"You saw the child with the blue mark."
"Without going through the baptism and awakening the power of the bloodline, his strength will never improve, and his lifespan will not be much longer than a human's."
"We can indeed continue to hide, but when our generation of elves grows old and returns to the embrace of the Mother Tree, what do you want these children born in the human world to do?"
Isaac opened his mouth, but this time, he was completely speechless.
"Let me tell you."
Elder Victor looked at him and said, "Sooner or later, they will be assimilated by humans. When that time comes, it will be the time for our branch to be completely wiped out."
He did not say that it was the death of the forest elves, because since the Mother Tree of Life had been revived, new first-generation elves would definitely be born in the future.
However, that was merely the inheritance of the bloodline.
The newly born First Generation Elves would not inherit the memories of the Ancient Era's Elves, nor would they inherit their civilization. Instead, they would rebuild their civilization from the ruins.
How could Elder Victor just watch this happen?
He waved his hand and said, "Since this is the Mother Tree's choice, we have no reason to disobey. Otherwise, it would be betrayal!"
"I have made up my mind. Angus, go arrange it."
"Gather all the remaining elves. I will personally announce this matter."
Angus accepted the order and left. Isaac sat down dejectedly, the blood drained from his face.
Even though they knew that this was a wrong decision, the elves could only do this, because …
They had no other choice.
In the end, out of caution, Elder Victor did not have all the elves move. He had some young elves stay behind. They were the kindling, the only hope in the event of an unforeseen event.
The elves were all pessimistic about this operation, but no one objected to Elder Victor's decision.
Perhaps in the depths of their hearts, they also yearned for the light, yearned to live openly with their original appearance as elves.
Isaac was originally one of the kindling that had been left behind, but he refused.
"I will live and die with everyone. With my strength, I can at least save a few more before I escape."
He was probably the most pessimistic one. He regarded this trip to the Imperial City as a one-way trip to his death.
Although Angus felt that the situation was not that bad, it was difficult for him to change the views of his companions. Besides, even he did not trust humans.
He only hoped that everyone would be safe in the end. Otherwise, he would be a sinner to the elves.
The elves were moving, and at the same time …
Dusk Frost City, in a house made of ice.
The young man sat up in a daze. His long silver hair draped over his shoulders, covering his beautiful white back, as well as the bruises and bite marks on his snow-white skin.
Xu Sili hugged the blanket and looked around, still not fully awake.
A small heating array was set up in the ice house. It would form a layer of protective cover to cover the warm current of the heating array. It would not cause a waste of energy, and it would not melt the ice house.
This was designed by the array master, Dominic, and he made it into a card that he carried around with him.
Perhaps it could be popularized nationwide in the future. This way, it would not be easy to freeze to death in winter.
Xu Sili lay down again.
It was a world of ice and snow outside, and it was warm inside the house. It was the best place to sleep. Let him stay for a while.
At this time, the door of the ice house opened, and a cold wind blew in. Xu Sili shivered and immediately regained some of his consciousness.
He poked his head out from under the blanket and saw Si Sheng closing the door with a tray in his hand.
"Ali, get up and eat."
The man was wearing casual home clothes, which Xu Sili had asked his second brother to buy from the System Store. When Si Sheng wore it, he looked completely different from usual.
Xu Sili felt like he had returned to modern times, but he quickly recovered and looked at him with a frown. "Don't you feel cold wearing this?"
"I don't feel cold," Si Sheng said truthfully.
Xu Sili was very angry, but when he smelled the aroma of food, his sleepiness was overcome by hunger. He obediently put on his clothes and ate breakfast with Si Sheng.
"My second brother said that they are working on it. My parents might be here soon."
At this time, Xu Sili casually dropped a heavy bomb.
Si Sheng froze, but his expression did not reveal anything. Xu Sili, however, noticed that he had sprinkled pepper into the milk.
"Don't be nervous," Xu Sili said. "My parents are very good."
He missed them very much.
"I'm not nervous, it's just …" Si Sheng pursed his lips and said, "It's a little unexpected."
Then, Xu Sili watched him drink the milk that had been sprinkled with pepper.
He opened his mouth and looked at Si Sheng's absent-minded expression. In the end, he considerately chose to change the topic.
After all, there was still some time. He did not have much confidence in the efficiency of the game team.
"Xiao Wu, did something happen in the imperial city?" Xu Sili opened the communication device and asked the little robot.
Then he found out about the elves.
Xu Sili raised his eyebrows slightly.
He knew that the elves had persecutory paranoia, and it was the kind that was beyond cure. He did not expect them to put aside their prejudices and come to him so quickly. It was quite surprising.
"Okay, then I'll go back and meet them."
On the way back to the imperial city, Xu Sili opened the panel of rare races to take a look.
Unlike before, there were new changes in the wood elves' panel.
[Wood Elf]
Clan Leader: Ah Sheng (also known as the Elf Queen)
Clan Territory: Elf Canyon (click to open map)
Population: 98
Racial Characteristics: Longevity, excellent affinity with the wood element.
Racial Talent: Plant Transformation
There were no changes to the Sea Elves. As for the Dark Dragon … the clan leader was now his big brother, and the population was still 1. It was still an endangered species.
Xu Sili shook his head and put away the panel.
The Sea Elves were also a problem. He did not know how Teacher Bazeer's research on the underwater breathing potion was going. Perhaps he would have to hurry him when he returned.
This time, there were only about 40 elves heading to the imperial palace, but almost all of the higher-ups were here.
When they walked out of the teleportation array in the imperial city of Roland, they looked at their companions beside them. Finally, under Elder Victor's signal, everyone took off their hoods and removed their disguises.
They had thought that with a group of 40 people, such a large target, they might be stopped by the guards when they took the teleportation array in Star Catcher City.
In fact, nothing happened.
They arrived at the imperial city without a hitch.
It seemed that things were not as serious as they thought …
When they took off their hoods and removed their disguises to restore their elven appearance, Isaac felt an unprecedented nervousness. But it was accompanied by a kind of sudden enlightenment under the sun.
It was something he had not experienced for many years. He suddenly had a feeling that he had lived for so many years in vain.
Yes, he was an elf, a noble race born on the tree of the world.
What had he done for so many years!
Hot tears fell from Isaac's eyes. Around him, there were many crying clansmen.
Elder Victor's eyes were also red, but he quickly controlled his emotions and said in a low voice, "The humans are looking at us."
"There is still a tough battle to come, keep your spirits up!"
The elves quickly wiped their tears and followed behind the elder with their heads held high. After so many years, this was the first time they bathed in the light and walked openly in the human capital.
The first to notice the elves were of course the players.
After watching Lan Xiaoyin's live broadcast, they quickly recognized a few familiar faces, but they did not know why they did not see Lan Xiaoyin.
"He is still wandering in the Amos Mountains, I guess he doesn't know what these NPCs are going to do."
"Didn't they say that the elves are very timid?"
"Yes, why did they suddenly appear in the imperial city? Are they secretly going behind the players' backs again? "
Elder Victor raised his head and puffed his chest, maintaining the dignity of an elf elder. But when more and more humans gathered around, he could not hold it in.
These humans were very strange.
They eagerly surrounded the elves and did not attack them or show any malicious expressions. Instead, they warmly talked to them.
"Are you Elder Victor of the Elf Tribe? I have admired you for a long time! How can I help you? "
"Hey, where are you going? Do you need me to show you the way? I am the most familiar with the imperial city, I can walk with my eyes closed! "
"Hey, don't push! Do you want to have your favorability deducted? "
"Ahhh, he's looking at me, he's looking at me! He's not deducting favorability! He definitely wants to give me a mission! Don't fight with me, I'll fight with you! "
Elder Victor had no choice but to stop.
He looked at the humans surrounding them and saw the eagerness in their eyes, and he could not help but doubt himself and his life.
These humans … how do they know me?
Also —
"Elder, are you tired from walking? Do you want me to carry you for a while? "
"Are you thirsty? I just bought some milk tea! "
"How can milk tea quench thirst? Of course, it's to eat fruits! "
Elder Victor: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
