"Wind ......"

Sophia silently recited the name, glanced at the robe on the other party's body again, and couldn't help asking:

"You're also an Elven Chosen One?"

The female elf nodded lightly and smiled:

"That's right."

Receiving the other party's affirmation, Sophia bowed slightly.

She gracefully pinched the corners of her skirt and bowed, and introduced herself:

"Hello, Miss Wind, I'm Sophia von Wells."

As soon as she finished the introduction, the girl realized that she had unknowingly used an honorific title.

But despite the use of honorifics, she didn't feel out of place at all, as if the elf in front of her should have been treated respectfully.

It's a strange feeling.

It's just that Sophia has such a feeling in the dark......

No, or not feelings, but a natural ability to discriminate after seeing too many nobles in the castle.

The unique temperament of this chosen one named Feng is definitely something that can only be gradually formed by people who have been in a high position for a long time.

Don't...... She's one of the higher-ups in the Elven Forest?

Sophia thought to herself.

The more the girl thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible.

And at this thought, her attitude became more and more respectful......

"Miss Feng, what do you mean when you just said that there is no oppression and everyone is equal?"

Sophia asked seriously.

"It's literal."

Wind said with a smile.

After speaking, she took out a handful of grains from her bosom and sprinkled them on the ground, attracting a flock of white pigeons to fly to compete for food, and she squatted down slightly, while stroking the fat white doves, she said:

"There are no nobles among the elves, and even the chosen ones who are favored by the goddess are not transcendent, but only respected by the elves spontaneously...... Even the royal family does not have real privileges, but only has a high level of spiritual influence. ”

"Not only that, even the half-elves in the Elven Forest will not be discriminated against by the elves because of their bloodline, in the eyes of the elves, everyone is a family, and the entire Elven Forest will always be harmonious and united."

As he spoke, the wind turned his head and smiled gently at Sophia:

"It is precisely because of equality, because there is no oppression, that everyone will live happily here."

Listening to the wind's words, Sophia's expression moved slightly.

She glanced at the carefree elves in the distance and shook her head slightly:

"No...... Impossible, how can there be real equality in the world, in this world, there are strong and weak, and the weak are inherently weaker than the strong, and can only seek refuge from the strong...... In this world, it is impossible to be equal. ”

After speaking, Sophia pointed to the elves in the distance:

"For example, if you say that the elves here are all equal, why do some of them still dress more elegantly and nobly, while others are relatively simple and monotonous? If it is equal, why do some of the buildings here have magnificent villa gardens and some relatively simple bungalows? ”

"And ......"

She looked at the wind again:

"Aren't the robes and staff on your body much more powerful than many Elven Chosen ones? If it is really equality, why is there such a big difference? ”

Looking at Sophia, who had a serious expression, Feng smiled faintly:

"Miss Sophia."

"Equality does not mean absolute fairness, nor does it mean average ......"

"By equality, I mean equality in rules, and rules are equal...... Nor does it necessarily imply substantive equality. ”

"As you said, the stronger the ability, the more will naturally get more, and will naturally occupy more resources, this phenomenon also exists in the Elven Forest."

Listening to the wind's words, Sophia sneered:

"Isn't that still a difference? After all, the world is still unequal, just like the nobles who are more noble and have extraordinary power will be more powerful and have more resources than the weaker commoners, and what you say seems to contradict each other. ”

Looking at the half-elf girl who shook her head slightly, Feng smiled indifferently:

"Miss Sophia, I would like to ask you a question......"

"Excuse me."

The girl said.

Wind continued to ask:

"Noble, how did you get here?"

Sophia was slightly stunned.

After a moment of silence, she said:

"Naturally, I inherited the glory of my ancestors."

"What about the ancestors? From whom do they inherit? ”

Feng asked again.

Sophia was slightly stunned.

She thought for a moment and said:

"Of course, through hard work and struggle, I got everything I had."

The wind nodded slightly:

"You're right."

Then, the conversation changed:

"So, were they nobles in the first place?"

Sophia fell silent.

No.

She knew that the answer was no.

The history of the empire is well documented, and the founding emperors and nobles of the empire were originally slaves of a tribe named Mania thousands of years ago.

They relied on struggle to gain freedom, and finally established their own city-state, and fought in the north and south, defeated the elven kingdom, and unified the northern part of the continent......

"Looks like you already have the answer."

Wind smiled.

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Sophia couldn't help but ask.

The wind looked at the young elves who were playing happily in the distance, and continued:

"There used to be no nobles in the human world, nobles...... It is just a privilege created by human rulers in order to facilitate their rule, to strengthen their own power, and to solidify the class. ”

"That is, the human world is fundamentally unequal in terms of rules."

"But, the Elven Forest is different."

"In the Elven Forest, maybe everyone lives different lives because of different abilities and different powers, but everyone is equal in the rules......"

"The strong do not look down on the weak, and the weak do not take presumptuous...... The weak can work hard through certain channels to become strong, and the strong will also take the initiative to help the weak and let them grow. ”

"This is the equality of the Elven Forest."

Listening to the wind's words, Sophia was thoughtful.

But she frowned, but she couldn't help but say:

"But...... Among the nobles of the empire, there are also many who will take the initiative to help the commoners and let the commoners live a good life......"

"So, will they make commoners nobles?"

Feng asked suddenly.

Sophia froze slightly.

Looking at the girl who was suddenly stunned, the wind continued:

"No......"

"Even if the human nobles treat the commoners well, they will not let them become the same nobles as themselves, in the final analysis, even many nobles are good to the commoners, just to make the territory more prosperous and make their power stronger......"

"This is determined by the nature of the class, the nobles and the commoners represent two different classes, in order to consolidate their class, the nobility must be above the commoners, and they will inevitably oppress and exploit the commoners, it is nothing more than a matter of more and less......"

"The aristocracy will always be in the minority, and in order to consolidate their position, they will never let the commoners really grow, so ...... The bottom of society in the human world will always be dark. ”

"If you betray your class, then the nobility is not an aristocrat."

Listening to the wind's words, Sophia fell into complete silence.

In her mind, all the scenes she had seen in Riverbend Town and Morning Star City suddenly flashed.

She thought of the numbness and hardship of the commoners, of the luxury and extravagance of the aristocracy.

She thought of the disdain of the nobles when they talked about the commoners, and of the miserable dead babies in the ravines......

At this moment, the half-elf girl felt that something was faintly touched in her heart.

She felt as if she vaguely understood something, but it seemed like she was still a little close.

"That'...... Isn't Elven Forest different? ”

The girl asked.

This time, her expression was more serious.

"Of course."

Wind smiled and nodded, and continued:

"In the Forest of Elves, there is no privileged class."

"The strength of the strength, the size of the ability, in the Elven Forest, just represents a different division of labor, where no one tramples on the dignity of the weak, and no one blocks the way up......"

"Through hard work, everyone has the opportunity to become a chief priest, even a high priest."

"Through hard work, everyone has the opportunity to become strong, even divine."

"Through hard work, beings with elven bloodlines can get closer to the goddess, purify the bloodline and become half-elves, and half-elves can continue to purify and become real elves......"

"This ...... It's the equality of the Elven Forest, here...... There is always the vitality of the rise, so everyone is full of hope for the future and full of love for life. ”

"Of course, the equality of the Elven Forest is not perfect, such as the huge gap between the rich and the poor among the Chosen One, such as the uneven distribution of resources......"

"However, the road is tortuous, but the future is bright, and the future is constantly evolving......"

"As long as we stick to our original intentions, we don't forget our original intentions, as long as we have a firm belief and a correct direction, as long as we have an unremitting pursuit of equality and common progress...... Then, the Elven Forest will definitely go up forever and keep moving forward. ”

"Everything, too, will be fine."

Listening to the wind's words, Sophia fell into deep thought.

However, when her gaze swept to the carefree smiles of the elves in the distance, she couldn't help but say:

"It's only the elves, after all...... Elves are kind by nature......"

Looking at the girl's complicated expression, Feng smiled slightly:

"Miss Sophia, you have seen the combat power of the Elven Chosen One, do you believe this sentence yourself?"

Sophia was slightly stunned.

She suddenly remembered the ferocity of the Elven Chosen when she fought with the guards in Morning Star City, and remembered all the legends about the Elven Chosen One, and a trace of hesitation flashed between her expressions.

"Miss Sophia."

The wind continued:

"The Elven Forest does not rely on the kindness of the elves, in fact...... When the goddess became the protector of the elves, the elves had long since abandoned the past......"

"That'...... How did the elves achieve equality? ”

Sophia couldn't help but ask.

"It's faith."

The wind's expression gradually became solemn.

"Faith?"

Sophia's eyes widened.

"That's right, it's the faith of the goddess."

Feng said reverently.

"The equality of all things is one of the basic dogmas of the Sacred Book of Life, and in the teachings of the Goddess, we are taught that all beings are equal, that everyone has the right to pursue progress, and that everyone has the right to defend himself......

"Goddess of Life......"

Listening to the wind's words, Sophia was thoughtful.

She was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but say:

This is the first time I have heard such a dogma...... In the canons of the Eternal Church, the Church will only tell the world that everyone is born with original sin, and that only by believing in God and enduring suffering will they be liberated after death and ascend to the heavenly mountain of happiness without pain, despair, and happiness......"

"So...... That's the difference. ”

Feng smiled slightly.

She looked grim and continued:

"The Goddess is merciful, and in the eyes of the Goddess, all beings are equal...... The Goddess's teachings are to wish for the whole world to be better. ”

"For the Eternal Church, however, believers are merely instruments for the acquisition of faith, and for the aristocracy, the Church is merely an instrument for facilitating rule."

Listening to the wind's words, Sophia's heart was shocked.

A flash of realization suddenly flashed in her heart, and she vaguely seemed to understand why there were very few devout believers among the nobles.

In addition to enlightenment, Sophia's heart was a little excited.

She felt as if she understood the crux of the empire's decay and how to save the kingdom from darkness......

At this moment, she suddenly had a strong curiosity about the teachings of the goddess of life in her heart, and also had unprecedented respect and yearning for Eve, the goddess of life......

"Miss Wind...... No, Lord Wind, are you a priest of life? Can you tell me more about the teachings of the Goddess of Life? ”

She asked, slightly expectantly.

Feng smiled slightly and pointed to a magnificent and tall building in the distance:

"See that temple?"

"Go there, look for a priest named Amaranth, and you'll get the answer you want......"

Following the direction of the wind, Sophia saw the Temple of Life in the distance.

Her expression became slightly solemn.

"I see, thank you, Lord Wind."

She bowed deeply to the wind.

Then, the girl took a deep breath and walked towards the Temple of Life......

Like, a newborn pilgrim.

At this moment, the faint light on her body, which symbolized the faith of the Eternal Church, completely dissipated, and faintly, there seemed to be a trace of new power, constantly nurturing......

Seeing the half-elf girl enter the Temple of Life, Feng smiled slightly and disappeared into the crowd.

Farther away, Li Mu and Demacia, who were panting and chasing after them, stared blankly in the direction of the Temple of Life, with amazement on their faces.

"Good girl, you deserve to be a wind boss...... What exactly did she say? And that's it? Mission accomplished?! ”

Demacia looked at Sophia's faint shallow lightness in the Eye of Faith, and couldn't help but sigh.

"That's why they're the big players among the priests."

Li Mu sighed slightly.
