She Is Not a Witch Chapter 275: 5 tests
"Vistena, this is not something you can decide. Don't interfere with Her Majesty's judgment."
Several conservative representatives of the forest elves looked at the elf sage standing in front of them with gloomy faces.
"I will return the same words to you. I hope you people will not question Her Majesty's judgment." Vestana responded directly.
"You..." Some opponents were overwhelmed with excitement.
"Indeed, such a sudden decision surprised you and was difficult to accept. However, this is not a reason for you to block it."
"If you refuse or object because you don't understand and feel uncomfortable, it's no different from a child, but standing in the hall of the holy tree now, you are not here to cry and complain about your weakness and dissatisfaction."
"If you want to stop me, or Her Majesty's resolution, please come up with real reasons and evidence, not just saying that it is not good, worrying, seemingly unnecessary, never had, such words Come and fool me." Vestana held a staff in front of her, and challenged these stubborn and old-fashioned forest elves.
"Heh..., good, good, is this the majesty of His Highness the Sage." An opponent was very sarcastic.
"Aren't the real reasons and basis obvious? Don't you have to bring about the worst result to oppose you?" It was debated by an elf sage, or the debate could not resolve the long-held concept in the heart.
"Don't you all have any ideas or expectations for the future? Stay in the forest forever and live a life like this day after day." Seeing Vestana being besieged by the other party's words, as a friend Yasara stood up. Although he was not one of the fifteen seats in the Emerald Court, as the leader of the Pelican Corolla, he still had a lot of influence.
"Is there anything wrong with this? Do you have to change to prove your greatness and excellence?" Sabrina finally couldn't help it, and refuted Asara, she was already angry with Vestana .
"But in today's era, being self-styled means falling behind and being gradually left behind. At that time, we may have very little room to make a choice." A faction leader who supported Vestena Equally respond, rebutting the growing isolationism in the forest.
In the following time, the two parties in the Holy Tree Hall had various arguments and arguments, but they were still unable to convince each other. It would be a strange thing to have an idea established over the years.
Seeing that the two sides are getting more and more angry, and even the anger is getting bigger, the neutral party who has been sitting quietly for a long time finally stood up. In fact, they don't care much about such proposals or changes, but if the conflict between the two parties continues, it may be There will be chaos and fighting in the Emerald Forest, which they don't want to see.
"Can everyone stop for a moment and listen to other opinions or suggestions?" Marantha and two other respected elves came between the two sides together, and the quarrel in the hall slowly died down.
After a while of arguing, the two sides were a little anxious and tired at this time, and didn't want to continue, so they just looked at what this guy had to say.
"I know that everyone is thinking about the future of the forest and the elves, but if we continue to argue now, I'm afraid we won't get a satisfactory result." The elf lady comforted her with a calm and steady voice. The emotions of the crowd.
"I also agree with Lord Marantha's thoughts." The two twin princesses also came out together. It was Aiteya and Aitexi. , the end of the skirt shows a sense of transparency like tulle.
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 great influence in the hearts of many forest elves.
"There are always differences and disagreements, and such differences cannot be ignored, but we don't want to see the forest split up because of this. I think this is a kind of harm to both parties." Aitexi spoke first.
"So, we propose to resolve the dispute in another way." Atheya blinked her eyes, glanced at the people in the hall, and then expressed her thoughts.
"In the distant past, the human empire would use duels to resolve irreconcilable disputes. This method is somewhat cruel and barbaric, and it is not suitable for us elves, but there are also things that can be learned from it, so I think, can the two parties Select some items to conduct a competition or set up a test, and based on the final victory or defeat, to agree on the future policy of the forest."
"Competition and test..." Some elves fell into thinking and analysis.
Although both parties 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 reached this point yet. Although they oppose each other, they still It's not enough to have such a deep hatred, and both sides also have a lot of concerns, such as each other's blood relationship, students' families, etc., it is difficult to really face each other with swords.
It doesn't make much sense to continue the debate. Neither side will give in easily.
Whether they are supporters or opponents, in fact, they don't like the overly scheming strategy of human beings, which is against their usual simple and peaceful living habits. In fact, if the world is not undergoing huge changes , such a peaceful and comfortable life will always be maintained inside the Emerald Forest.
But now, some well-informed elves are gradually realizing that they can no longer sit idly by like this. The collapse of the empire will cause the elves to lose their connection with human society, and then they will return to the past, even worse than the closed state of the past. The world is changing with each passing day. If you don’t embrace change, you will fall behind and be left behind, and the result will be heartbreaking and sad.
Thinking about it so slowly, this method seems to be the solution with the lowest intensity, and it can only be achieved thanks to the peaceful inertia passed down from the past within the forest elves. Otherwise, one party can regret it at will afterwards. This will not be discussed.
Looks like this is the best choice.
There was a murmur 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 only be solved by fighting. Personal strength does not represent wisdom and correctness, and we elves don't recognize the barbaric existence that can only fight."
"Then let both sides set up five tests each, and the one who solves the most in the end wins."
"Maybe battles are added, although not all, but strong strength is still indispensable."
"The last test is to customize the battle. Perhaps only in this way can people be convinced."
"Exactly five events, it seems good, but the two sides only have one person in each match, it seems a bit thin."
"Then let's send three people for each game. In addition, other neutral factions can also send three people, a total of nine people."
"Which side wins, it will be counted as one round, and the best-of-five rounds system will be adopted."
"What if the neutral party wins?"
"Then he must choose one side to support after the competition, or abstain."
"It always feels a bit immodest. Are we going to use this kind of test or competition to determine the future of the race?"
"Yes, it's like a game among children, but sometimes adults' methods are too cruel. Do you really want to see the scene where the forest is stained red with blood?"
"No, that kind of scenario is exactly what we all try to avoid, or we oppose each other because we don't want to see such a future."
"The civil strife in the human empire these years, I think anyone who has been out of the forest has seen it. If it is not necessary, I really don't want to take such a road."
"Since differences exist, they cannot be easily eliminated. If you want the other party to back down or admit it, then come up with something that makes 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 parties finally reached an agreement.
After a period of discussion and agreement, the three parties finally decided on this special 'duel', and everything that happened at the sacred tree meeting on this day spread quickly to every corner of the forest.
The forest, which had been quiet for a long time, seemed to wake up these days. There were scenes of elves discussing it everywhere. Many elves even started to rush to the Emerald Court in the center 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 debates have occurred within the forest elves. Issues that have not attracted attention in the past have begun to be frequently discussed by everyone.
In the "caged school surrounded by vines" in the small town of River Bend, two students met in the sunset at dusk, and continued to argue 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're wrong." One of the elf teenagers with green hair was holding a book and quietly looked at the teenager who was the same age as him in front of him.
"Oh, so what, I like it like this, don't you want to overwhelm me with the so-called correctness?"
"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 must do the right thing, because I admit that I and myself as a limited life cannot recognize the completely right thing."
"But at least, I still think, maybe it would be better if it could get better." He slowly raised his head and looked directly at the opponent he was arguing with again.
"So, I hate people like you, who self-righteously deny everything, belittle everything, smash everything carefully constructed by others, and then say what I think is right, and others can't care about such willful words."
"Do you really have any ideas or ideas? No, you have nothing, you are just obsessed with the pleasure of torturing other people's fantasies."
"Poor thing, you have no fantasies, no expectations, just empty shells of dreams of bullying others for base pleasure."
"It's easy and easy to say bad things about others, laugh at others, blame others, and deny others. They occupy the moral high ground and mock others' hard lives without respect. In the same environment, you Is it really better than others?"
"I admit that you are right, but I am just me, not you, nor him. I have no obligation, no need, and I don't want to experience other people's hard work, discomfort, or even all kinds of small thoughts. It's restrained and boring everywhere." The blond elf boy also looked up a little bit, he turned his eyes sideways, and squinted at the opponent in front of him, the brown-gold pupils reflected the distant sunset in the afterglow.
"So, we are destined to be different, and even unable to coexist."
"If it is said that there are natural friends and partners in this world, then we are natural enemies, haha." As he spoke, the blond elf laughed inexplicably again. There seems to be a different kind of pleasure.
"I think so." The green-haired elf stood in the shadows, looking at the opponent stained by the setting sun.
"So, what are you going to do, kill me? This means that you have abandoned the bright future you imagined in your heart. It's embarrassing, isn't it, haha."
"No, but I will not give up and continue to refute you." The green-haired elf turned around and was about 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, tell about your greatness and Correct." The voice of the blond elf boy came from behind again.
"You can't just talk big, express your so-called wisdom and nobility, right? Haha."
After speaking, the green-haired elf slowly stopped. He stood for a long time in the dark and dark path before answering.
"I will go, how about you?"
"Me? Well, if you go and I don't go, I always feel sorry to miss the good show."
"I understand, I will prove myself, I want people like you to understand that not everyone lives in a muddle-headed way, if it is for the better future of everyone, I don't mind sacrificing my reputation, Even the conscience will suppress or even kill an existence like you~IndoMTL.com~ After he finished speaking, he didn't look back, but slowly disappeared at the end of the tree-lined path.
Seeing this existence as his opponent walk 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 ordinary life is interesting again.
The things the teachers said at school were really boring. Ah, I can understand why those villains in the stories and legends are always willing to show mercy at critical moments, because watching such opponents face the torture of ideals and morality is indeed a joyful thing, ahaha.
Ahaha, I'm really looking forward to it, how will you refute me?
My old enemy, my rival, my best friend, my sense of restlessness and nothingness that has no place to rest.
You have to live well and realize your dreams, hahaha...
