Demon King, Don’t Run Away Chapter 545: “Elven Chronicles”
Memories from the past appeared in front of her eyes, and that tall and gentle figure has been lingering in Elena's heart.
A 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 those who lived for nearly three thousand years. The previous queen.
If there were no previous queens, Elena might have disappeared into the long river of history along with other elves
After many bumps and bruises along the way, Elena became the queen. She has been trying to catch up with the queen of the previous generation and protect the entire village on her behalf to prevent the elves from disappearing into history.
There are some things that Queen Elena did not tell Yang Yu or other elves.
——Many elves who have lived for thousands of years have actually chosen another path, and the end of that path is death.
Yang Yu did not continue on the topic of ancient elves, but changed the topic and continued step by step,
"My Queen, after living 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 interested in those legends. Can the Queen tell me the legends within the elves? ”
Stretching out her hand, a burst of soft golden light shone in Elena's hand, and a bound book appeared out of thin air in this ball of holy light,
"The elves have a very long history and many legends. If I tell it slowly, I don't know how long it will take to finish.
This book records most of the stories of our elf family. Basically every elf 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 it was clearly written on it.
"With this book, you will more or less understand the ecology of elves. You can also get the answers to many questions from this book."
The light in her hand disappeared, and Elena looked at Yang Yu, only to see the book in Yang Yu's hand disappear completely with a "whoosh".
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Your Majesty the Queen."
With a simple thank you, Yang Yu brought up the next topic as if nothing had happened.
"The attitude of the elves towards humans is obvious. I received a lot of looks when I came here. But as the queen of elves, you don't dislike humans very much.
As a queen, why not try to tell them the complexity of the human world?
At least let the vast majority of elves know that there are not only bad people among humans. ”
Elena thought for a moment and finally decided to reject Yang Yu’s question,
"It is not something that can be changed easily. There is a link within it, and 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 infinite lifespan is equivalent to having infinite possibilities. However, the elves are surprisingly conservative. If the elves can absorb the advantages of the surrounding races and learn various technologies, they will definitely become an enduring force in this world.
My Queen, I want to know why you keep to yourself, don't communicate with other races, and hide in the forest all the time?
"
In response to Yang Yu, the queen was silent again.
Elena saw the same shadow as someone on Yang Yu's body, and smiled helplessly,
"From the perspective of you humans, elves are indeed a race that does not know how to make progress
However, our clan also has our own beliefs, which are the foundation of our clan’s existence.
We hide in the forest and do not have too much contact with other races. This is all a manifestation of our faith.
This can ensure that we have the purest faith. ”
"As long as you live a good life in the forest, fulfill your beliefs, grow wings, and serve the goddess, will your wish come true?" Yang Yu asked tentatively.
"It's not wrong to think so. Our elves are a race favored by the goddess. We have been staying here for generations, just to one day be chosen by the goddess and become her true dependents.
That is also the meaning of our clan’s existence, it is our belief, and we will never allow anyone to trample on it. ”
Every word Elena said was sonorous and powerful, and she firmly believed in everything in her heart, but Yang Yu was not affected by the queen's attitude and just continued to ask:
“But in history, many elves still walked out of here and left their names in history.
When an elf abandoned the faith you said and left the village where the elf had lived for generations, didn't you or other queens stop it? ”
Shaking her head, Elena felt a little sad.
"Some things cannot be stopped. As the Elf Queen, I must stay here to protect our family.
When the elves leave, we will default to them as betraying 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 such a sudden large-scale attack to plunder elves.
But due to the beliefs of our family and the difficulty of finding the lost elves, we cannot help. ”
"Can the abducted elves have no choice but to consider themselves unlucky?"
Elena clenched her fists and did not answer. Seeing this, Yang Yu quickly pretended to say something wrong,
"I'm sorry. This is also the first time your family has encountered this kind of situation. I have some understanding of how much the Queen attaches importance to faith. I just made it unintentionally.
This is just a sigh as a human being. If we were human beings, we would not be willing to accept so many people being kidnapped. ”
"We...are not reconciled."
"That's it for this topic. Next topic, I want to know about the elves who turned into black hair. What fate awaits them?"
Elena shook her head, "I don't know either. They lost the blessing of the goddess and left their lives to the sky.
There have been no black-haired elves for many years. In the three hundred years of my reign, there have only been a few cases.
We only expel them and will not trace their lives. Perhaps they have already disappeared in the long river of history.
I don’t know how many questions you still have, but please choose the key ones to ask. The longer you stay, more elves will become interested in what we said.
What I mean is that from my position, 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 want to ask. I roughly understand why the elves are unwilling to send troops to help Wansheng Kingdom. Now, the last question. What is the real relationship between the elves and the goddess?"
Although he knew that it was impossible to simply ask about the relationship between the elf and the goddess, Yang Yu decided to try, but his expectations were quickly dashed.
"The question you asked is on the first page of the chronicle in your hand."
