Azeroth.

After dealing with today's affairs in the clan, Fei Yaran said hello to Star Rail, turned around and entered the gang territory, came to the singing evening pool, and observed the state of the tree of life.

Nearly 100 years have passed since small greenery became the tree of life.

In the past hundred years, the small green that was originally the size of a palm has grown to knee height, the trunk and branches and leaves are also a little thicker, and the emerald thin leaves are also becoming more and more abundant, which makes Fei Yaran, who was originally worried about its growth, breathe a sigh of relief.

However, despite this, Xiao Lu's growth rate is still much slower than that of other tree species on the mainland, and Fei Yaran doesn't know if he will be able to see it grow into the magnificent appearance of the original tree of life covering the sky and the sun.

"Yo, you're coming in to practice again?" Just as he was looking at it, a lazy and clear laughing voice came from the pool.

"Hmm." Answering the white-haired fox with its eight huge tails, Fei Yaran withdrew his gaze, sat cross-legged by the pool, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

Seeing this, the moonlight didn't continue to bother him, squatted at the bottom of the pool and looked at the young tree of life with a silver-green glow floating above his head, and also closed his eyes and cultivated.

Since he accidentally discovered that Moonlight was cultivating around the Tree of Life, and the speed of his strength improvement had greatly accelerated, Fei Yaran also began to sing the evening pool report every day, and also used the majestic life force emitted by the Tree of Life to concentrate on healing and cultivating.

In the elven catastrophe a hundred years ago, Fei Yaran took the "Scorching Blood Gu" while his old injuries had not healed, and forcibly urged the power in Mr. Anse's blood to be used for his own use, and his strength increased greatly in a very short time, but after strangling and swallowing clouds, this situation of being eaten back on top of the "backlash" curse made his body suffer a heavy blow.

Fortunately, after he finished singing the pool water and the fountain of immortality, coupled with the bonus of the vitality of the tree of life, in the past hundred years, he has not only healed almost all the dark injuries in his body, but also restored ninety percent of his greatly reduced strength, and even as the blood digestion of Mr. Ans in his "Scorching Blood Gu" became smoother and smoother, the strength that had been stagnant also faintly showed signs of breakthrough.

"Emerald!" I don't know how long it took, but the star track came out of the gang territory with a slightly hurried call.

When Fei Yaran heard this, he immediately flashed out, his eyes gently reassuring Star Track, "What's wrong?" ”

Since Star Rail took over the position of the elven clan's high priest, Fei Yaran has hardly seen him have had strong emotional fluctuations.

If I'm not mistaken, the last time Star Rail called himself so anxiously, it seems that it was because he found that an elf broke the precepts and did that kind of lewd thing like other races.

Thinking of this, his eyes instantly sank.

I always feel that this time it doesn't seem to be a good thing.

Sure enough, the moment he saw Fei Yaran, Star Rail quickly grabbed his wrist, and the luck wind magic flew towards the outside of the government hall, "I just got the news that Eliza is pregnant!" ”

Fei Yaran: ......

"What did you say?!" Under the impact one after another, he was as calm as Fei Yaran, and he couldn't help but be confused.

Elves are originally an extremely indifferent race, and Fei Yaran himself had the embarrassing experience of not being able to be emotional, no matter how he flirted, so he always thought that all elves were the same as him and Teacher Anse, and they would not have such a hot desire as other races.

Later, although he saw Kane and Lance's emotional appearance, when he occasionally recalled it, he always felt that the two elves entangled at that time seemed to be something wrong, and he couldn't tell what was wrong with him, in short, it was completely different from the other elves he saw on weekdays.

Therefore, for the vast majority of the same people who think that "elves have no love", Fei Yaran has always felt that they are as pure as angels, as if they are inherently insulated from desire.

The change came after the Elven Havoc.

Thinking of Azeroth, which was almost indistinguishable from a hundred years ago, Fiaran's heart was a little heavy—he had said that no matter what, Azeroth would never go back to what it used to be-

This is not alarmist.

After swallowing the "Scorching Blood Gu" a hundred years ago and greatly improving his magic power in a short period of time, Fei Yaran was in that completely different world, and saw that the original pure and flawless souls of those surviving elves had been gradually dyed with a dim color by the rich demonic energy, and that dimness had not faded until now, when the demonic energy had already been purified. The lower the level of the elf, the greater the impact.

At first, all the elves thought that their sadness, anger, loss, fear, etc., which had been magnified a lot more than before, were because they had never faced such a tragic situation, but after ten years, twenty years, and even fifty or sixty years, Fei Yaran and Star Trail gradually discovered that the elves of today were no longer as carefree and indifferent as they were a hundred years ago.

The panic that the tree of life lost can no longer inherit life, and the collapse of faith brought about by the elven king who has been sleeping in the crystal for a long time and cannot wake up, so that the elves who have finally rebuilt Azeroth can no longer maintain their strong sense of superiority as the first race in the continent.

Even if they later had the Emerald and High Priest Star Rails, who they became His Highness, no matter who they were, they could not bring the Elves the strong sense of security and peace that came from the soul when the Elven King was there.

In this regard, although Fei Yaran and Star Rail tried their best to appease, they had little effect.

A hint of inconspicuous irritation gradually spread in Azeroth, with quarrels, feuds, fights, and competitions...... All kinds of small frictions that tend to be close to other races are growing day by day, and the elves' feelings have become much more sensitive than before, but their overall strength is far less than before.

Fei Yaran sometimes watched such elves becoming more and more "popular" day by day, and the gap between them and the past was getting bigger and bigger, and he often couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

Later, Star Rail brought news that an elf had broken the precepts and indulged in lust.

When Fei Yaran first heard it, he didn't think about it and immediately retorted that it was impossible.

But then, under the same reluctance and implicit heavy eyes of Star Rail, he suddenly remembered the figure of Lance and Kane entangled under the tree on that night a long time ago, and then, he was even more shocked to find that the occasional restlessness around the elves in the clan now almost overlapped with the original Lance Kane.

This sudden thought made Fei Yaran at that time couldn't help but be frightened.

Later, he suddenly remembered a question that Star Rail had asked him - "Jade, do you think elves have love?" ”

At that time, because he had a human soul and had already realized his feelings for Teacher Anse, Fei Yaran did not deny his feelings, but the education he received in the elf clan since he was a child made him give an almost textbook-like answer, "Elves don't love please." ”

But in fact, it seems that the code of the elves never stipulates that the elves must observe the seven virtues, like the angels in Hebrew mythology, and must adhere to the purity of the * and the loyalty of the heart.

When Fei Yaran asked about Star Track's thoughts, he also found that in the eyes of him, the former elven general and now the high priest of the elven race, there was no emotion, and it had to not happen to any race, or even any living being.

In the catastrophe a hundred years ago, the elves had already lost too many clansmen, so even if they learned that some elves had broken the ring and combined with each other, Fei Yaran and Star Rail only made the decision to let those two elves be temporarily locked up and not affect the decision to shake the other clansmen.

This was not a good solution, but Fei Yaran was wondering at the time, is this situation just an isolated case, or in the future, there will be more and more elves who choose to be intimate with each other?

As soon as this idea popped up, Fei Yaran couldn't help but think deeper.

In all the books he had ever looked through to describe elven love, there was no written record of elven love, and when he occasionally mentioned the word "love", whether it was white or other elves, he would also tell himself that elves were insulated from love.

But is it true that there is no desire □□ love, or has there been a similar spirit united by love, but it is not recorded in the literature?

And if there have ever been union elves, have they ever had the act of bearing offspring? Is it true that elves can only conceive new life through the tree of life? Why is there no such record of the elves? Or is there really no organ in the elve's body that is responsible for pregnancy?

Many questions, after hearing that there is a combination of elves, have been circling in Fei Yaran's mind.

He even thought that if the combined elves could really get pregnant, maybe the problem of the inheritance and continuation of the elf clan would be solved, but at the same time, this idea made him, who had been refined for more than a hundred years, feel unacceptable-

A bloodless origin, a soul that is extremely pure from head to toe, and a family favored by God, this was once the envy and praise of the elves that were praised by many foreign races.

The existence of the tree of life was once God's greatest gift to the elves, and if the elves really had to rely on themselves to conceive offspring from now on, it would undoubtedly be letting the elves shatter their pride with their own hands.

So, in the days that followed, Fei Yaran would often fall into such a delicate relationship of gain and loss.

The sudden panic of the star track made all his speculations settle - there was really an elf pregnant.

The sudden news made Fei Yaran's face turn white, but he still flew towards the female elf's house called Eliza together with Star Track.

When Fei Yaran and Star Rail arrived, they greeted the elven guards who were in charge of guarding the outside of the treehouse, and after a brief understanding of the situation inside the house, they pushed the door in.

Eliza's love was very unstable, and after learning that she was pregnant, she finally curled herself up in bed and began to cry after experiencing disbelief and hysteria.

In the treehouse, Eliza's father, her teacher, Amos, is holding her tightly in his arms from behind, afraid that she will hurt herself because she is too excited.

The arrival of Fei Yaran and Star Trail surprised both of them in the treehouse.

As His Royal Highness the Prince and High Priest of the clan, in the past hundred years, the two current rulers of the elf clan, Jade and Star Rail, have made a group of elves who have lived longer than them sigh to themselves in terms of strength, wisdom and technology, and handling government affairs, and at the same time, they also sincerely respect and respect these two.

Although Eliza and Amos couldn't help breaking the elven precepts and uniting with each other, after the matter was discovered, the two elves were still deeply ashamed of it, so after receiving a much lighter punishment of their respective confinement than expected, the two of them carried it out very strictly.

But soon, Eliza found that her body was uncomfortable, she occasionally felt pain in her lower abdomen, she would vomit out quickly when she ate something, and her body was getting weaker and weaker, even if she cast healing magic on herself, it had almost no effect.

Eliza, who had never been in such a situation before, was so disturbed that she even wondered if she had been punished for her union with her teacher.

Seeing this, the elven guards in charge of guarding Eliza invited the famous light healing elves in the clan for Eliza out of pity for their fellow clansmen.

Then, the news brought by this healing elf shocked the entire elven clan - Eliza's body already had the breath of another new life, referred to as pregnancy.

Although the elves have never conceived their own children, whether they have traveled abroad or in the classics, they have known that other races in the mainland rely on their own breeding to inherit their bloodlines.

However, just as Fei Yaran felt very repulsed by the elf's pregnancy just by making up his brain, when he really learned that an elf was pregnant, the first reaction of the entire elf race was by no means to feel sincerely glad that the race could continue, on the contrary, the blow to the elves from this incident even made the elves fall into a panic that bordered on despair.

The painful, blood-stained way of continuing life is simply shattering the last pride of the elves.

It puts them to shame.

Eliza would be on the verge of collapse when she learned that she was pregnant, and it was precisely because of this that she felt that her existence was a stain on the entire elven race.

Fei Yaran watched her cry almost to the point of tears, her face was full of tears, her eyes were red and swollen, and her hair was in a mess, and finally she came to the bedside, reached out and gently stroked the girl's head.

"Temple...... Your Highness ......" Eliza looked up slightly in surprise.

The palm blessed with light magic relieved Eliza's discomfort and brought a burst of warmth like a hot spring, and she was so afraid that her convulsive body gradually calmed down at that temperature, and Eliza realized that Teacher Amos had been holding her tightly, and her tears flowed even more fiercely for a while.

"Don't cry, Eliza." took out a handkerchief to help Eliza wipe the tears from her face, Fei Yaran's dark red eyes looked at Eliza gently, "This may not be a bad thing, you don't need to blame yourself, and you can't worry, because you are already going to become a mother." ”

“…… Mother? Not being blamed by His Royal Highness Jade, and being treated so gently, Eliza's uneasiness in her heart instantly eased a lot, but the elf was too unfamiliar with the word mother, so when she heard this word at first glance, she was suddenly a little dazed.

"Yes, just like our mother's tree of life, a new life will be born here." As he spoke, he took Eliza's hand and brought her hand to her lower abdomen.

"Don't be afraid, it's not a filth to give birth to life, it's a great thing." Speaking of this, Fei Yaran paused, and then continued: "We all know that we have lost the Tree of Life. For more than 100 years, no new elves have been born in our race, but the existing elves are constantly aging, and in the long run, the elves will no longer have a future. ”

"And you, give us hope."

"You are our pride, Eliza, your child, and the future of the elves."

Her Royal Highness's appearance, even among the elves who are known for their beauty, is extremely eye-catching. This highness, who is only more than a hundred years old, rarely appears in front of people on weekdays, and occasionally when he sees it from a distance, he mostly leaves the elves with an extremely cold back, but in the catastrophe a hundred years ago, His Royal Highness Jade slashed the handsome and powerful figure of the divine beast swallowing the clouds in the air, and it brought too much impact to the elves, and it is still unforgettable, so even if His Royal Highness rarely shows up, the elves' respect and awe for him have not decreased at all, and at the same time there is a little more mystery.

And now, that handsome and compelling Jade Highness would show such a beautiful smile, comfort her so gently, encourage her, and touch her head...... Eliza, who was so close to His Highness for the first time and had lived for more than 2,000 years, forgot to cry for a while, and only cared about immersing herself in His Highness's warm and warm voice.

After calming Eliza for the time being, Fei Yaran and Star Rail left first.

Sensing Star Track's narrow gaze, Fei Yaran glanced at him puzzled, and saw Star Track slightly raise his lips and said, "I haven't seen you show such a look for many years." ”

Fei Yaran was stunned when she heard this, and then she couldn't help but say, "She's already so nervous, if I keep a straight face like you, she will probably faint with fear." ”

Recalling Eliza's almost collapsed appearance, Star Track's eyes were a little complicated for a while, and after a while, he suddenly asked Fei Yaran: "What you just said to her was from the bottom of your heart?" ”

Fei Yaran thought for a while, and understood that what Star Rail said was his words to comfort Eliza to wait for her mother, and her expression faded for a while, "Whether it is sincere or not, at least the new life in her womb does give us hope." ”

So even if this is to undermine the pride of the elves, in order for the race to continue, they must accept this new life and the future that may become so-

Eliza will never be the first elf to give birth to offspring.

Thinking of the Tree of Life, which had grown up a little but was still sleeping, Fei Yaran couldn't help but say, "You were right in the past, with the current state of the Tree of Life, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for the moment when it grows to be able to give birth to elven eggs. ”

The original tree of life has existed at the beginning of the creation of the world, and no one knows whether it towered into the heavens as soon as it appeared, or whether it grew to such a state after hundreds or even tens of thousands of years, but according to the aging speed of the existing elves, the lifespan of the vast majority of elves is only a thousand years at most, and a few high-level elves cannot last 10,000 years.

And.

Looking at the huge golden crystal in the western sky, Fei Yaran suddenly said, "Do you remember that a few years ago, there was rumors on the mainland that dark elves and half-elves had appeared. ”

Star Rail was stunned, he didn't expect him to suddenly mention this, but he still nodded.

"At that time, I was thinking, are those half-elves conceived by humans, or born by elves?"

Hearing this, Star Rail couldn't help but be silent, whether it was a dark elf or a half-elf, it was a shame for the elf clan, so he didn't deliberately pay attention to them at all.

Moreover, he always had a hunch - the so-called dark elves might be Lance and Kane.

Still, "Why do you suddenly think of them?" ”

"It's not that I think about it all of a sudden, it's that I've been thinking about it. Whether born of humans or elves, the existence of those half-elves itself shows that elves also have their own ability to conceive offspring, doesn't it? ”

"But half-elves are all descendants of dark elves and humans." In other words, the elves of Azeroth don't necessarily have that ability to conceive.

However, thinking of Eliza, who was already pregnant, Star Rail suddenly fell silent.

"Loveless elves, tree of life ruined miè, dark elves, half-elves appeared, and now, the elves of Azeroth are also beginning to be able to give birth to offspring......"

Looking at the sleeping place of the Elven King from afar, Fei Yaran's voice seemed to murmur -

"Star track, I always feel that the current qiē seems to be in the dark, as if it is destined to be good."

It's like a pair of big hands invisibly, fiddling with them, making them all walk in the established direction.
