Chapter 397: The Elven King’s gift
The Elven Council members were all elected.One must meet a series of requirements to be voted in, for example, one must be over five hundred years old, have a cultivation above the 3rd True Spirit Layer, have great moral character, obey the ancient rules, be combination of talent and virtue……Because of this election system, the Elven Council was filled with stubborn old things that wouldn’t bend from the ancient ways.Elves that surpassed the True Spirit Realm could live up to a thousand years. The current speaker was already a fossil of a thousand years and with his strength, he could live another three-four hundred years.
The elves’ vitality wastoo strong.
This caused the newer generation’s metabolism to be very slow.The new generation of elves would always be under the influence of the older generation and the Elven Council changed from old to new very slowly.With these old men in charge, even if there were new people with new thoughts, they would also turn into a stubborn old man after being with these old men for one-two hundred years.
The elves’ etiquette, the elves’ believes, the elves’ morals, they were all tightly restrained!
It had locked the elves of the continent for close to ten thousand years!
Ten thousand years was not long for the elven culture, it was at most ten generations of leaders.However, to the spirit beasts and humans, it was enough to change their world!
A race that had overlooked tens of thousands of races on the continent before.
Had now declined to such a state.
Even in the Forest of Chaos, the elves’ influence was also declining.The elves were not focused on how to revitalize their race, but rather how to maintain their image, how to protect the elves’ noble appearance, and how to separate the noble elves from the other races of the continent.
As everyone knew, in the eyes of the humans, the elves were a strange race.Even the aggressive spirit beasts already disdainfully looked down on the elves.
“This human Chu Tian is so cruel.”An council member righteously shouted out, “For a single victory, he actually destroyed a forest that had been growing for hundreds of years, not caring about the animal lives living inside.This kind of selfish behaviour will be limited and resisted by the elves.”
“That’s right, reconsideration!”Another council member stood up, “All beings are alive and the strong cannot disregard the lives of others at will.”
“Such a crude method is simply corrupting the forest, this is blasphemy to forest and nature!”
If there were humans here, they would certainly break out in laughter by the elves’ discussion.
In order to protect a small piece of the forest, one had to give up victory?
Only the elves would do something like this.To the humans, this was just stupid!
A council member suddenly pointed at the elder sitting beside the speaker, “Vice speaker Ulysses, you had a chance to execute this human,but you let him back leave the Tree of Life Tribe. So, everything that has happened, you are partly responsible for.”
Ulysses said with a frown, “I have already investigated this matter and will submit the information regarding this to everyone.Chu Tian’s matter is excusable, there was no malicious intention to kidnap an elf at all. Chu Tian is a human with ability rarely seen in ten thousand years and if the elves mishandles this matter, perhaps we’ll be cursed for ten thousand years.”
“Don’t mention Chu Tian’s matter.”Another council member said, “Vivian is most serious offender of the elven rules in a hundred years, but not only did you not punish her, you even let Vivian go.Doing this kind of thing and not being punished, how does this conform to the elven laws? This will have an adverse effect on the young elves, have you ever considered this?”
“Yes!”
“The vice speaker has handled this matter improperly.”
“No matter what happened with the human, Vivian has broken the clan’s rules!”
Ulysses was a bit unhappy, “Vivian has mastered the spatial technology which is a great technology that can change the elves’ lives.I allowed her to return with Chu Tian to learn more, so she could contribute to the elven race.”
“The elves’ lives are good now, there is no need for change!”
“What can the elves learn from the primitive humans?This is simply insulting the noble elves!”
“……”
While most of the elves were shouting, there were a few that didn’t say a word who were the elven reformists.Only there were too many old fashioned members and according to the elven traditions and rules, there would be no results for several days once they started arguing.
The Elven King was a bit anxious in his seat, “We’ll end today’s discussions here.We’ll discuss this matter later.”
The speaker did not have any objections.The elves had a habit of dragging things out, after all, their lives were too long.A matter that could be done in a day could also be done in ten days, so they could just discuss more tomorrow.
After the Elven King dismissed the council, he walked into a corridor alone.The Elven King’s Palace’s corridors were built into the cliff, so there was a jade white waterfall falling down the side.When one glanced over at the view, they could see the entire Eternal Forest.
The sun was sending out its rays.
