Memories of the past emerged before her eyes, and that tall and gentle figure had always lingered in Elena's heart.
A long, long time ago, there were ancient elves who lived for thousands of years. However, in the past, they sacrificed their lives without hesitation for what they believed in, including the previous queen who lived for nearly three thousand years.
If there hadn't been a previous queen, Elena might have disappeared into the long river of history along with the other elves.
After many bumps and bruises along the way, Elena finally became the queen. She has been trying to catch up with the previous queen and protect the entire village on her behalf, so as to prevent the elves from disappearing into history.
something.
Queen Elena did not tell Yang Yu, or the other elves.
—Many elves who have lived for thousands of years actually chose another path, and the end of that path is only death.
Yang Yu did not continue the topic of ancient elves, but changed the topic and continued step by step.
“My Queen, you have lived for such a long time, you must know something that ordinary elves don’t know, right
There must be some interesting legends among them. I am very interested in those legends. Could your Majesty tell me the legends of the elves?"
She stretched out her hand, and a soft golden light shone from Elena's hand. A bound book appeared out of thin air in the holy light.
"The elves have an extremely long history and many legends. If I were to tell them slowly, I don't know how long it would take to finish.
This book records most of the stories of our elves. Basically every elven priest will learn the legends and knowledge above.
This is not something valuable, this book is given to you as a gift.”
Yang Yu was naturally not polite. He stretched out his hand and held the book in his hand. He opened the panel for identification and saw "Elf Chronicle" written on it.
"With this book, you will more or less understand the ecology of the elves. You can also get the answers to many questions from this book."
The light in her hand disappeared. Elena looked towards Yang Yu, only to see the book in Yang Yu's hand "whoosh" and completely disappeared.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty. Next question."
After a simple thank you, Yang Yu casually brought up the next topic.
"The attitude of the elves towards humans is obvious. I received many cold stares when I came here. But as the queen of elves, you don't hate humans that much.
As a queen, why don't you try to tell your other subjects about the complexity of the human world
At least it lets the vast majority of elves know that there are not only bad people among humans."
Elena pondered for a moment, and finally decided not to answer Yang Yu's question.
"It's not something that can be changed easily. There are so many things going on here. I don't want to answer this question."
Seeing that the queen was unwilling to talk, Yang Yu pretended to talk to himself and naturally switched to the next question.
"Having an infinite lifespan is equivalent to having infinite possibilities, but the elves are surprisingly conservative. If the elves can absorb the advantages of the surrounding races and study various technologies, they will definitely become a long-lasting and powerful force in this world.
My Queen, I want to know why you are so closed off from the outside world, refusing to communicate with other races and hiding in the forest
”
In response to Yang Yu, the queen fell silent again.
Elena saw the same shadow of someone else in Yang Yu and smiled helplessly.
"In your view, elves are indeed a race that does not know how to make progress.
However, our people also have our own beliefs, which are the foundation of our existence.
We hide in the forest and do not have much contact with other races, which is also a manifestation of our beliefs.
This will ensure that we have the purest faith.”
"As long as we live a good life in the forest and improve our faith, we can be appreciated by the goddess, grow wings, and serve the goddess?" Yang Yu asked tentatively.
"It's not wrong to think so. We, the elves, are a race favored by the goddess. We have been guarding here for generations, just to be chosen by the goddess one day and become her true followers.
That is the meaning of our existence and our belief.
We will not allow anyone to trample on us.”
Elena spoke every word with great force, firmly believing in everything in her heart, but Yang Yu was not affected by the queen's attitude, and just continued to ask:
“But many elves still walked out of here and left their names in history.
When some elves betrayed the faith you professed and left the village where they had lived for generations, did you or other queens fail to stop them?"
Shaking her head, Elena felt a little sad.
"Some things cannot be stopped. As the Queen of Elves, I must stay here and protect our people.
When the elves leave, we will assume that they have betrayed the goddess, and the goddess will take back the gifts from the elves who betrayed the goddess.
This is the first time we have encountered a sudden large-scale attack to plunder the elves.
However, due to our beliefs and the difficulty of finding lost elves, we are unable to help."
"Can the abducted elves only consider themselves unlucky?"
Elena clenched her fists and did not answer. Seeing this, Yang Yu hurriedly pretended to have said something wrong.
"I'm sorry. This is the first time your clan has encountered such a situation. I have some understanding of how much Her Majesty the Queen values faith. I just spoke out of my own inadvertent feeling.
It is just a simple sigh from a human being. If we were human beings, we would definitely not be willing to accept that so many of us were abducted."
"We are not willing to accept this either."
"That's all for this topic. Next, I want to know what fate awaits elves who have black hair?"
Elena shook her head, “I don’t know either, having lost the goddess’s blessing, they have put their lives in the hands of heaven.
It has been many years since a dark-haired elf appeared. In the three hundred years of my reign, there have been only a few cases.
We only expel them and don't track their lives. Perhaps they have already disappeared in the long river of history.
I don't know how many questions you have, but please choose the key ones to ask. The longer you stay, the more elves will be interested in what we said.
I mean, from my perspective, I can't let you stay here for too long."
Looking at the beautiful face of the Elf Queen, Yang Yu smiled:
"I have asked almost everything I wanted to ask. I roughly understand why the elves are unwilling to send troops to help Wansheng. Then, my last question is, what is the true relationship between the elves and the goddess?"
Although he knew it was impossible to simply ask about the relationship between the elves and the goddess, Yang Yu still decided to give it a try, but his expectations were soon dashed.
"The question you asked is on the first page of the chronicle in your hand."
