If the population of a race did not reach the minimum survival standard, then it would not be long before the race went extinct.
The elves were now facing such a danger.
Although their lifespans were extremely long and there would not be any danger in the short term, as the queen of this race, Izari already felt a sense of crisis.
"There have been no newborns for 116 years, which means that 116 elves have returned to the World Tree. The entire Elven Kingdom has lost 116 members."
Izari took a deep breath. "Perhaps to humans, this is only a matter of a few months or even a few days, but to the elves, this is already an incredible number."
Tang En's gaze moved up and down with Izari's breathing. Izari thought that Tang En agreed with her and nodded in response. "I have been thinking of ways to solve this problem all these years, but unfortunately, I can't heal the World Tree's wounds. In order to prevent the chaos from spreading to other areas, the World Tree has sealed off that area and can only rely on itself to heal."
Izari gently stroked the wall beside her, conveying her emotions to the World Tree.
Tang En frowned slightly. "Let's not talk about the World Tree for now. The population of your race has decreased. Have you not thought of promoting the union of the two sexes to reproduce?"
Izari was a little helpless. "I have tried, but it has no effect at all."
"Why?"
"I don't know either."
Izari was puzzled. "As far as I know, humans are very keen on the union of the two sexes, but my people have no interest in it at all. They are more willing to immerse themselves in music, art, or enjoy the pleasure of practicing combat skills and magic. Several couples have been blessed by me fifty years ago, but until now, they have not given birth to children."
"…"
Tang En was dumbfounded. Were all the male elves impotent? Were they not interested in having sex with such a beautiful elven wife?
If it was a human, they would probably go crazy with joy.
"Then … How do you want me to help you? Do you want me to be a stud horse? "
Tang En pinched between his eyebrows. He had a slight headache.
How could he help her?
He could not even play the role of the warm-hearted old man next door because no matter how hard he worked, he would only give birth to a half-elf.
"Stud horse? Of course not. "
Izari shook her head. "The goddess only said that you can help me. As for how you can help me, that's your business."
Alright, I'll kneel down to your honesty!
"Don't worry."
Perhaps Izari also knew that she was being too impatient, so she added, "Anyway, more than a hundred years have passed, so it won't make a difference. There are many rooms in the palace, and you can live next door to me. If you have a solution, you can come to me at any time. If you can't think of a solution, you can slowly think of one."
Your Majesty, are you sure this is not house arrest?
It was clear that he had made up his mind to not let her go until the problem was solved …
Tang En sighed and put this matter aside for now. Then he asked, "Your Majesty the Queen —"
Isari looked at Tang En with an unquestionable attitude. "You are the Oracle appointed by the Goddess. Please call me by my name. It is my honor."
"… Isalie."
"Hmm?"
"Actually … I'm here to bring Brian here to apologize to him personally."
"Apologize?"
Sally was startled. "Apologize for what?"
"Didn't Brian cause trouble here before? You also sent a messenger to the Hammer Forging Castle to inquire. "
"No."
Isalie shook her head, and there was another wave of emotions. "It's just that he suddenly left. I thought we didn't treat him well enough."
Tang En subconsciously glanced at Nola. Did this little brat really guess it right?
"How is it?"
Nola said proudly, "I guessed it right, right?"
"Well, let's not talk about the apology for now. Actually, I'm here to see Aiguin …"
Isalie looked at Tang En in surprise. "You know Sister Aiguin? Huh? Wait? This is Sister Aiguin's hair ornament … Are you the human friend she mentioned? "
Tang En smiled and nodded, then suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Bridge bean sack! Sister Aiguin!?
You're the Elven Queen, and you call Aegwynn big sister?!
Tang En swallowed his saliva. "You … called Aiguin Sister?"
"Yes."
Isalie said matter-of-factly. "I was born from the World Tree after the first Chaos invasion. Before I was born, Sister Aiguin was already twenty-two years old."
Well, at this time, Tang En clearly felt how huge the age gap between him and Aiguin was …
On Earth, it was equivalent to the difference of two whole civilizations between the two of them!
But …
As long as there was love (beauty), age was nothing!
Even the God of Creation would dare to push it to you!
"Where did Aiguin go?"
"A decaying jungle appeared in the west. She went there. All these years, she has been chasing the aura of Chaos, hoping to find a way to remove the Chaos pollution as soon as possible to treat the World Tree."
Isalie smiled and said, "It's all thanks to Sister Aiguin helping me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get away from many things."
Oh no! This Isalie can't be my love rival too, right?
"Do you need help?"
Tang En frowned. He remembered that he met Aiguin the last time. Aiguin was careless and suffered a big loss. If she was injured again, wouldn't he be heartbroken?
"No need. Because we are in the jungle, we can contact each other through the plants at any time. I will pass your message to her later. I think she will be very happy to have a good friend visit her."
"Okay then."
Tang En breathed a sigh of relief. "In that case, I will wait for her good news and help you think of a way."
"Thank you so much!"
Isalie hugged Tang En tightly again. "Thank you goddess for sending you to my side!"
Tang En hesitated for a moment before hugging her and patting her gently.
The two of them found Brian and Grandia.
Brian, who was holding a jug of wine and drinking, saw Isalie and suddenly blushed. He put down the jug and hesitated for a moment. He rubbed his hands and said awkwardly, "Um, Isalie, I was rude last time. I slipped into your wine cellar … and ate a few of your fruits …"
"Oh, it's you."
Isalie had a look of realization. "I thought it was a magical beast that slipped in again."
"Magical beast?"
"Yes, Sudara, a magical beast that likes to drink. They can also make wine, but because there are too few wild fruits, the production is not much. They often come to steal wine to drink."
Isalie said casually, "They don't drink much, but they always messed up the wine cellar before, so I set up a magic formation."
Okay! Prandal monkey wine!
Tang En smiled. "I didn't guard against Sudara, but I caught a drunkard dwarf."
"It's okay, I know dwarves like to drink. If you like, I can give you some later."
"Really!?"
Brian was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
"By the way, is it okay for me to eat a few of your fruits?"
"Fruits? Oh, you mean the Fruit of Wisdom, right? It's okay, you are also a person of the goddess. Of course, you can eat it too. "
Isalie said indifferently. "It's just a bit wasteful for you to eat it. You don't have magic talent."
"Phew! Fortunately, fortunately … "
Brian breathed a sigh of relief and sat down casually. "If I knew it would be like this, I wouldn't have run away at that time. I was also harmed by bandits … Well, nothing, cough."
"Your Majesty."
Grandia greeted a little cautiously. Although her personality was very human, she was more nervous when she saw the queen. She was not as casual and natural as other elves.
"Yes, Grandia."
Isalie's sharp eyes fell on her. "I'm very interested in you … It is said that you were raised by humans. Elder Sharon told me that your personality is more special. Compared to elves, you are more like a human."
Grandia thought that Isalie was blaming her and immediately panicked. "Your Majesty, I, I —"
"It's okay, I'm not blaming you. I'm just curious."
Isalie walked around Grandia. Her tall and plump figure gave Grandia a great sense of oppression.
"When I talked to the goddess before, she once said that although the elves were created by her, the nature of the elves was not determined by her. It was our own choice."
Isalie's voice seemed to have some kind of magic, immersing them in a virtual scene. "In the beginning, the elves were actually similar to humans. We were also curious and tried to expand, but in the end, we chose to return to the forest. Because of our racial characteristics, we are not suitable to be rulers."
"The elves began to reflect and began to seek harmony between themselves and the world. Over time, we grasped the ability to resonate and harmonize with nature."
"Isn't this the ability that the goddess bestowed upon you?"
Isalie shook her head. "Of course not. It is something that we have grasped over the long years. It has now become one of our instincts. Perhaps the reason why we could comprehend this is also because of the goddess."
"The elven society began to take shape. There was also a fixed inheritance. Basically, every elf's personality was very similar. They strived to become more harmonious with each other."
Isalie looked at Grandia with interest. "But at this time, an exception appeared …"
"Is it Grandia?"
"No, it is the daughter of the previous elven queen, Sage Selena. Hmm, it is a bit too long to talk about her. Let's talk about Grandia. After all, their situations are very similar."
"Similar?"
"Yes, they both had a long period of contact with humans. When they returned to the elven kingdom, they became very different from other elves. They are very special."
Grandia was very embarrassed.
"This is a good thing. Although they are unique and conspicuous, they are also full of vitality."
Isalie said with certainty. "And so, I came to a conclusion from their situation. This dull and rigid state of the elves can be changed — — and it is already changing now."
