The patrol guard brought Tang En and the others to the Queen's Palace and left.
What appeared before Tang En was a palace that was perfectly integrated with the World Tree. The outer walls of the palace, the pavilions, and even the fountain in the plaza were all directly grown from the World Tree. The palace wasn't very large, but this kind of 'building' that was completely integrated with nature allowed Tang En to see the miracle of this world. This was a masterpiece of nature, and humans might never be able to reach this level.
"At least bring us to the place!"
Grandia couldn't help but complain, "What's the point of leaving people here?"
Tang En smiled, "You're an Elf, not a human."
Grandia rolled her eyes. "Elder Sharon has already told you that I was raised by humans. It's just a habit. Moreover, humans pursue individuality and want to make themselves brighter and more conspicuous in a group. Elves, on the other hand, pursue group harmony and strive to be consistent with other elves. I don't want to be the same as others."
"You're right, not completely."
A clear voice came from the side, and Tang En saw another valiant female Elf come over with a smile, "The Elves were indeed like that in the past, but now we're trying to change … I'm Mathilda, representing Her Majesty's guards to welcome you, honorable guests."
"Yo! Mathilda! Long time no see! "
Brian chuckled and greeted, "How is Izari?"
"Hello, Sir Bryan. Her Majesty is very well. "
Mathilda looked at Grandia and smiled, "You must be Grandia of Salamar … An Elf raised by humans. I've heard of you."
Grandia froze for a moment. She clearly didn't expect her fame to have spread to the Emerald Corolla.
"Her Majesty is very interested in you. Come with us. She's waiting for you in the palace. This way, please."
Mathilda straightforwardly turned around and led the way.
"You know her?"
Tang En and Grandia were very curious.
"Of course, she was in charge of receiving me the last time I came. Let me tell you, she's very powerful and a good person. The only bad thing is that she watches me too closely —"
"Sir Bryan, it's Her Majesty's order to watch you."
Mathilda didn't even turn her head as she said casually, "She's worried that you'll ruin all the wine brewed by the Elves in the Emerald Corolla."
Bryan immediately felt guilty, "Hehe … How is that possible …"
Tang En laughed, "I think it's quite possible."
Tang En couldn't stop praising the interior of the palace in the Elven Royal City. The palace was grand but not luxurious, elegant but not exaggerated. The decorations inside were all made by the Elves themselves. There were all kinds of exquisite handicrafts, sculptures, and paintings. Some lifelike wooden figures and animal carvings were placed on both sides of the corridor. Walking beside them, one would have the illusion that they were living creatures. The beautiful and realistic paintings would definitely be top-notch works of art even on Earth.
After walking through the corridor filled with amazing works of art, they stepped into the hall of the palace. There was a long oval table in the hall. The long table was clearly made of twigs that grew in circles. This was the place where the Elven Elder Council met. Facing the long corridor, there was a throne surrounded by vines and petals. A female Elf wearing luxurious clothing that was rarely seen among the Elves sat there. She was playing with the plain and simple staff in her hand.
After seeing this female Elf, Tang En couldn't help but hold his breath. His eyes subconsciously widened.
He only had one feeling at this moment.
Big.
So big!
They had already seen many Elves on the way here. Tang En had already confirmed the fact that the Elves were all like airports. However … the Elf in front of him had directly broken this rule!
36D？
No, it was at least 36E!
It was simply a weapon of mass destruction!
Not only was it big, it was also perky!
If Newton was here, he would definitely cry!
This Elf who looked like a Queen except for her figure, was the current Elf Queen, Elven Queen Isalie Corolla.
Isalie, who was unconsciously caressing her staff, suddenly came back to her senses. Then, she rushed to Tang En with a face full of surprise. She excitedly hugged him, "Thank you, Goddess! You're finally here! "
Reporting to the coach!
She hit him with the ball!
Nola was so scared that she directly rushed into the sky. She looked at Tang En with a face full of sympathy as he almost suffocated.
The tall and slender Izari was even taller than Tang En. She was a standard queen. Hence, Tang En had to use facial cleanser when he hugged her.
Although the facial cleanser was very good … if Isalie didn't let go of Tang En, the Prandal Elf would probably have its first breast murder case.
Tang En used his strength and his five fingers deeply sank in …
Mathilda reminded, "Your Majesty, please pay attention. The guest is about to suffocate."
"Ah!"
Isalie let go of Tang En and patted his shoulder, "Sorry! I was negligent. "
The nearby Grandia lowered her head and looked at her chest. Then, her face was full of jealousy.
Your Majesty, this isn't negligence. This is showing off. This is blatant showing off!
"Sir Brian, long time no see."
It was just a sentence, but it made people feel a strong aura!
As expected of the Queen! — Eh? Aren't the Elves all stupid?
"Cough, Isalie …"
Brian was a little embarrassed. He was about to bite the bullet and apologize, but he was interrupted.
"Let's catch up later."
Isalie forcefully pulled Tang En's hand and nodded at Brian and Grandia, "You are Grandia of Salamar, right? We will talk later. Mathilda, take the two of them to rest. I have important things to discuss with the guest. Don't let others disturb us. "
Watching Isalie hurriedly pull Tang En into the side hall, Brian and Grandia both widened their eyes. What's going on?
Elven Queen Isalie, who they had never met before, was actually so warm to Tang En?
Instead, she was very normal to their old friend Brian and fellow Elf Grandia?
"Mathilda, what's going on?"
Brian was stunned, "Big brother, is this your first time here?"
"I'm not sure."
Mathilda's face was full of curiosity, "This is the first time I've seen Her Majesty lose her composure like this … Follow me first. There are pastries and fruits here. You can rest first."
Side hall.
Tang En felt uncomfortable under Isalie's burning gaze. He coughed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty. I'm Tang En, Lord of Ellington. The purpose of this meeting with Her Majesty is …"
"Let's not talk about this for now!"
Isalie interrupted Tang En and hurriedly said, "You can solve the population growth problem of the Elven Race? Am I right? "
Tang En was dumbfounded, "Who did you hear this from?"
"Goddess."
"Goddess?"
Tang En was stunned, "You mean, Goddess Gaia?"
Isalie nodded, "Of course. Who else could it be?"
"Wait! I have to think … "
Tang En was dumbfounded. The Goddess of Gaia and Nature, Isalie, told Isalie that he could solve the population problem of the Elves? What kind of joke was this?
Weren't the Elves her people? Wasn't she able to create life? I'm using cheats to boost my troops!
What's the point of pushing this task to me?
Even if he went all out and planted seeds in the Elven Kingdom and squeezed himself dry, he wouldn't be able to increase the population by much. After all, there was a certain degree of reproductive isolation between humans and Elves. They would only give birth to Half-Elves.
Also …
Tang En suddenly came back to his senses and opened his eyes wide, "You can talk to Goddess Gaia directly!?"
"The power of the Goddess is too great. I can't bear the pressure of a direct conversation, but I can do it through the World Tree."
"Then can I talk to her? To be honest, I have a lot of questions to ask them right now! "
"Of course, that's not a problem."
Isalie said straightforwardly, "After all, you're a god's messenger appointed by the Goddess."
"A god's messenger appointed by the Goddess? What does that mean? "
"It means literally. But if you want to talk to the Goddess, you have to help me solve the problem facing the Elven Race!"
Isalie's expression was very serious, "The population growth of the Elven Race has stopped and even started to decrease. The situation is very serious."
Tang En pursed his lips, "I saw Elder Sharon's optimistic attitude and thought you weren't in a hurry."
"Of course, ordinary Elves wouldn't be in a hurry because of this. After all, the population of the Elven Race is very stable and the growth rate is very slow. Even if there is a change, it won't be seen immediately. But as the Elven Queen, this is a problem that I have to solve."
"Why did the Elven Race stop growing?"
"You should know that we Elves have two ways of reproducing."
Seeing Tang En nod, Isalie continued, "In fact, because of our long lifespan, we consume a lot of resources. In addition, the death of Elves is just the beginning of another cycle, so we rarely take the initiative to increase the population. Under the will of the Goddess, we have been controlling the population to be basically constant."
"Under normal circumstances, the growth of Elves has always been dependent on the World Tree. The World Tree will give birth to a baby Elf every year. This is our most stable way of increasing the number of newborns. When the first generation of Elves reaches the limit of their lifespan, our population is basically constant."
"Unless there is a situation like the previous invasion of Chaos, we will choose to combine the sexes to achieve rapid reproduction in a short period of time to replenish the lost members."
"However, all of this changed 166 years ago. In the second invasion of Chaos that lasted 50 years, we Elves have been actively increasing our numbers to resist the Chaos army. The dead Elves would return to the World Tree and receive the Goddess' blessing to be reborn. But at this time, something terrible happened. " “
"The souls of many Elves who died in the war were contaminated by Chaos. The World Tree had to purify the contamination in their souls to allow them to be reborn. However, the purification of the contamination was a heavy burden on the World Tree. Finally, after 40 years of the war, the World Tree finally couldn't withstand the impact and stopped the birth of newborns for the first time."
"Then the war ended. 116 years have passed, and the World Tree is still fighting against the remaining forces of Chaos. In these 116 years, no newborns have been born in the entire Elven Kingdom!"
