"Vistina, this is not something you can decide. Don't interfere with Her Majesty's judgment without authorization."
Several conservative representatives of forest elves looked gloomily at the elf sage standing in front of them.
"I will return the same words to you. I hope you people will not question Her Majesty's judgment." Vestena responded directly.
"You..." Some of the opposition were angry and excited.
"Indeed, such a sudden decision makes you very surprised and difficult to accept. However, this cannot be a reason for you to block."
"If you refuse or oppose it because you don't understand and feel uncomfortable, this is no different from a child, but standing in the hall of the Holy Tree now is not for you to cry and tell your weakness and dissatisfaction."
"If you want to stop me, or Her Majesty's decision, please come up with practical reasons and basis, not just say bad, worrying, seems unnecessary, never happened, such words come to the lake. ." Vestena held a staff and stood in front of her, challenging these stubborn and old-fashioned forest elves.
"Oh... , well, very good, is this the majesty of His Royal Highness the sage." An opponent was extremely sarcastic.
"Isn't the real reason and basis still obvious? Must the worst result be the result to oppose you?" Then several opponents spoke up. They didn't come to meet this elf sage Debating, or debating can not resolve the long-standing concept in the mind.
"Don't you have any ideas or expectations for the future, stay in the forest forever, and live such a day-to-day life." Seeing Vestena being besieged by the other party's words, Asara, a friend Standing up, although he is not one of the fifteen seats in the Emerald Court, as the leader of the Pelican Corolla, he still has a lot of influence.
"Is there anything wrong with this, do I have to change to prove my greatness and excellence?" Sabelina finally couldn't help but refuted Asara, she was no longer angry with Vestena.
"But in today's era, standing still means being left behind and gradually being left behind. When we make choices at that time, I'm afraid there will be very little room for us to make choices." A faction leader who supported Vestena also responded, Rebutting the growing isolationism in the forest.
In the following time, the two parties in the Hall of the Holy Tree had various arguments and rebuttals, but they were unable to convince each other. Neither party easily changed their ideas, or in a short period of time. Ideas can be a strange thing.
Seeing that the two sides became more and more angry, and even the anger gradually increased, the neutral party who had been sitting quietly for a long time finally stood up. In fact, they didn't care much about such proposals or changes, but if the conflict between the two parties continued, it might be in the Emerald Forest. There will be chaos and fighting, which they don't want to see.
"Can everyone pause for a while and listen to other opinions or suggestions?" Marantha and two other highly respected elves came to the middle of the two sides together, and then the quarrel in the hall slowly ceased.
After a while of arguing, the two sides were also a little anxious and tired at this time, and they didn't want to continue, so let's just see what this guy has to say.
"I know that everyone is thinking about the future of the forest and elves, but if we continue to argue now, I'm afraid we won't get a satisfactory result." The elf lady calmed down everyone's emotions with a calm and steady voice. .
"I also agree with Mrs. Marantha's idea." The two twin princesses also walked out together. It was Atheia and Athesi. They were wearing slim gradient dresses today, from white to blue, with a hem. The ends of the swatches are translucent like gauze.
Among the five elf princesses today, this pair of twins is particularly dazzling and powerful, and they are the candidates for the elf queen, and they still have a great influence in the hearts of many forest elves.
"There are always differences and differences, and such differences cannot be ignored, but we don't want to see the forest split. I think this is a kind of harm to both parties." Athey spoke first.
"So, we propose to resolve the dispute in another way." Atea blinked her eyes, glanced at the people in the hall, and then said her thoughts.
"In the distant past, the Empire of Humanity used duels to resolve disputes that were difficult to reconcile. This method is a bit cruel and barbaric, and it is not suitable for us elves, but there are also lessons to be learned from it, so I wonder if the two sides can choose some Project, to conduct a test or set a test, according to the final outcome, to agree on the future policy of the forest."
"A test and a test..." Some elves fell into thinking and analysis.
Although both sides suspect that this is an ally prepared by the opposite side, it seems that there is no better choice at this moment. Is it really going to war? No, it has not yet reached this point. Although they oppose each other, it is not enough. Such deep hatred, and both sides also have many concerns, such as each other's blood, students' families, etc., it is difficult to really face each other with swords.
Continuing the debate is of little significance, and neither side will give in easily.
Whether they are supporters or opponents, they don't really like the way of human beings that are too scheming. This goes against their simple and peaceful living habits. In fact, if it weren't for the great changes taking place in the world today, the jadeite Sen will always maintain such a peaceful and comfortable life inside.
But now, it's just that some well-informed elves have gradually realized that they can no longer sit back and watch like this. The collapse of the empire will cause the elves to lose their ties with human society, and then they will return to the past, even worse than the closed state of the past. The world is changing rapidly, and if you don't embrace change, you'll be left behind and left behind, and the result will be heart-wrenching and sad.

Thinking about it so slowly, this method seems to be the solution with the lowest intensity. It is also due to the peaceful inertia that has been passed down in the past within the forest elves. Otherwise, one party can go back at will after the event. be discussed.
Seems like this is the best option.
There was a whisper of discussion in the hall, and in the end both parties seemed to acquiesce to the proposal.
"Then what form will this competition take? I don't agree that it can be solved only by fighting. Personal strength does not represent wisdom and correctness, and we elves also don't agree with the savage existence that can only fight."
"Then there are five tests for each side, and the one who solves the most in the end wins."
"Maybe there is also a battle, although not all, but a strong strength is still indispensable."
"Let's make a customized battle for the last test. Perhaps only in this way can people be convinced."
"There are exactly five items, which seems to be not bad, but only one person per match between the two sides, it seems a little thin."
"Then let's send three people each. In addition, other neutral factions can also send three people, for a total of nine people."
"Which side wins, it will be regarded as one round, and the best of five will be adopted."
"What if the neutral side wins?"
"Then he must choose a side to support after the test, or abstain."
"It always feels a little dignified. Am I going to use this test or competition to decide the future of the race?"
"Yes, it's like a children's game, but sometimes the way adults are too cruel. Do you really want to see the scene where the blood stains the forest?"
"No, that scenario is exactly what we all try to avoid, or we are against each other, because we don't want to see such a future."
"I think anyone who has been out of the forest has seen the civil strife in the Empire of Humanity over the years. If it's not necessary, I really don't want to go down this path."
"Since differences exist, they cannot be easily eliminated. If you want the other party to give in or admit it, then come up with something that will make the other party shut up."
"If this turns out to be the best answer... Well, let's start preparing according to today's proposal." The two sides finally reached an agreement.
After a period of discussion and agreement, the three parties finally settled on this special 'duel', and everything that happened at the Sacred Tree Conference on this day quickly spread to all corners of the forest.
The forest that has been quiet for a long time seems to have woken up in these days. There are scenes of elves discussing everywhere. Many elves even started to rush to the central Emerald Court overnight, wanting to watch this grand duel.
Since the peaceful and stable years have lasted for hundreds of years, this is also the first time that major changes and disputes have occurred within the forest elves. Issues that have not received attention in the past have begun to be frequently discussed by everyone.
In the 'Cage School' in the small town of River Bend, two students met in the evening sunset and continued the debate in the classroom during the day.
…
Time passed, and when the sky gradually darkened and the two had to return separately, the argument finally stopped.
"You are wrong." One of the green-haired elf teenagers held a book and quietly looked at the teenager who was the same age as him.
"Oh, so what, I like it like this, do you want to overwhelm me with the so-called correctness?" The blonde elf spread his hands, with an expression of ignorance and mockery.
"No, I just pointed out that your behavior is very bad." The green-haired elf lowered his head.
"I don't want to say that people have to do the right thing because I admit that I am limited, and as a life, to know what is completely right."
"But at least, I still thought, maybe it would be better if it got better." He slowly raised his head and looked directly at the opponent who was arguing with him again.
"So, I hate people like you, self-righteous denying everything, belittling everything, smashing everything carefully constructed by others, and then saying what I think is right is right, others can't control such willful words."
"Do you really have any ideas or ideas? No, you don't have anything, you're just obsessed with the thrill of abusing other people's fantasies."
"It's a pity that you don't even have fantasies, you don't have any expectations, you just rely on the dream of bullying others to get despicable pleasures like an empty shell."
"It's easy and easy to say that others are not good, laugh at others, accuse others, deny others, occupy the high ground of morality, mock others' hard life, and have no respect. In the same environment, are you really Do better than others?"
"I admit that you are right, but I am just me, not you, nor him, no obligation, no need, and I don't want to experience other people's hardships, discomforts, and even all kinds of careful thoughts. That kind of life is really restrictive everywhere. And boring." The blond elf boy also looked up a little, he turned his eyes and squinted at the opponent in front of him, the brown-gold eyes reflected the distant sunset in the afterglow.
"So, we are destined to be different, or even impossible to coexist."
"If there are natural friends and partners in this world, then we are natural enemies, hehe." After speaking, the blond elf laughed inexplicably. There seems to be a different kind of pleasure.
"I think it's like this." The green-haired elf stood in the shadows, looking at the opponent stained by the sunset.
"So, what are you going to do, kill me? This means that you have betrayed the bright future you conceived in your heart. It's very embarrassing, isn't it, haha."
"No, but I won't give up and continue to refute you." The green-haired elf turned around and prepared to leave.
"Hey, did you just leave like this? Don't you want to say that you are right, then go to the Emerald Court, prove yourself to those big men, tell all the elves about yourself, and tell you how great and right you are. ." The voice of the blond elf boy came from behind again.
"Shouldn't you just talk big and express your so-called wisdom and sublime? Haha."
After he finished speaking, the green-haired elf slowly stopped, and he stood for a long time in the dark path before answering.
"I'll go, how about you?"
"Me? Well, if you go and I don't go, I always feel like you'll miss a good show unfortunately."
"I understand, I will prove myself, I want people like you to understand that not everyone lives a life in the dark, if it is for everyone's bright future, I don't mind sacrificing my reputation and even my conscience, It is also necessary to suppress or even kill an existence like you."
After he finished speaking, he didn't look back, but slowly disappeared at the end of the tree-lined path.
Watching this existence as his opponent go away, a special smile appeared on the face of the blond elf who had been silent for a long time.
It's really exciting, it feels like Pingdan's life is interesting again.
The things the teachers said at school were really boring. Ah, I can understand why in the legends, those villains are always willing to show mercy at critical moments, because watching such opponents face the torment of ideals and morals is really a pleasant thing, ahaha.
Ahaha, I'm really looking forward to it, how will you refute me
My nemesis, my adversary, my dear friend, my restlessness and emptiness that has nowhere to go.
You have to live well and realize your dreams, hahaha...
