Chapter 260 (2/2)
”Lord Brian, long time no see.”
Just a word, people feel a strong Aura!
Worthy of the queen—— Eh? Aren't the elves stupid?
”Well, Sally...”
Brian was a little embarrassed. He was trying to make a hard apology, but he was interrupted.
”We'll catch up later.”
Isalie forcibly took Donne's hand and nodded at Brian and Grandia. ”Are you Grandia of saramar? We'll talk later, Mathilda. Take them two to have a rest first. I have something important to talk to the guests. Don't let others disturb us.”
Watching isalie hurriedly pull Donne into the side hall, Brian and Grandia stared wide. What's the situation?
The fairy queen, isali, who has never met, is so enthusiastic about Donne?
Instead, it's very general to old friend Brian and the same elf Grandia?
”Mathilda, what's going on?”
Brian looked stunned: ”big brother, is this your first time here?”
”I don't know.”
Mathilda's face was full of curiosity: ”it's the first time I've seen her majesty lose her manners like this... You two come with me first. There are cakes and fruits here. You can have a rest first.”
Side hall.
Donne was uncomfortable when she was looked at by isali's burning eyes. She coughed and said, ”I have seen her majesty. I, Donne, Lord Ellington, the purpose of this audience with her majesty is --”
”Needless to say!”
Isalie interrupted Donne and said hastily, ”you can solve the problem of population growth of the elves, can't you?”
Donne was silly. ”Who did you listen to?”
”Goddess.”
”Goddess?”
Donne was stunned: ”you mean, Earth Goddess?”
Isalie nodded naturally, ”of course, who else can it be?”
”Wait! I have to stroke...”
Donne is Spartan. The goddess of earth and nature, nisclair, tells isalie that she can help the elves solve the population problem? What kind of joke is this?
Aren't the elves her people? Can't she create life? Open your own blaster!
What's it like to put the task on me?
Even if I go out to plant the world in the elf country and squeeze myself dry, it is impossible to increase the population. After all, humans and elves have a certain degree of reproductive isolation and only give birth to half elves.
In addition
Donne suddenly regained his mind and widened his eyes. ”Can you talk directly to the Earth Goddess?”
”The power of the goddess is too strong. I can't bear the pressure of direct dialogue, but I can do it through the tree of the world.”
”Can I talk to her? Seriously, I have a lot of questions to ask them now!”
”Of course there's no problem with this.”
”After all, you are an envoy appointed by the goddess,” said isali readily
”An envoy appointed by the goddess? What do you mean?”
”It means literally, but if you want to talk to the goddess, you have to help me solve the problems faced by the elves first!”
Isali's expression was very serious: ”the overall growth of the elves has stagnated, and even began to decrease. The situation is very serious.”
Donne curled his lips: ”I think elder Sharon has an optimistic attitude. I thought you were really not in a hurry.”
”Of course, ordinary elves won't worry about it. After all, the number of our elves is very stable and the growth rate is very slow. Even if there is a change, I can't see it for a while, but as the queen of elves, this is the problem I need to solve.”
”Why do elves stop growing?”
”You should know that we elves have two ways to reproduce.”
Seeing Donne nodded, isalie continued: ”in fact, because we live a long life, we will consume a lot of resources. In addition, the death of the elves is only the beginning of another cycle, so we rarely take the initiative to increase the population. Under the will of the goddess, we have always controlled the population to be basically constant.”
”Under normal circumstances, the growth of elves has always depended on the world tree. The world tree will give birth to an elf child every year, which is our most stable way to increase newborns. Until the first generation of elves reaches the life limit, our population will be basically constant.”
”Unless there is a previous chaotic invasion war, we will choose the way of gender combination to quickly reproduce and supplement war damaged members in a short time.”
”However, all this changed 166 years ago. In the second chaos invasion war that lasted 50 years, our elves have been actively increasing their number to fight against the chaos army. The dead Elves will return to the world tree and be blessed by the goddess to be reborn, but something terrible happened at this time“
”The souls of many war dead Elves were polluted by chaos. The world tree had to purify the pollution in their souls to make them reborn. However, the burden of purifying pollution on the world tree was very heavy. Finally, when the war lasted for 40 years, the world tree could not bear the impact and terminated the birth of a newborn for the first time.”
”Then the war ended. Until now, 116 years later, the world tree is still struggling with the remaining chaotic power. In these 116 years, there have been no newborns in the whole elf country!”
