"Freedom should be above all else, unfettered, unpersecuted."

"That's what elves should be after."

"Power, wealth, lust...... When the elves choose to chase these things, you are the real rebels. ”

Irina's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every elf in the Wind Forest.

The elves in the audience gradually fell silent, their faces showing thoughtfulness, and some of the elves showed shame.

"It's really like Her Majesty back then......" Helena looked at Irina, a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, she thought of some people, and thought of Her Majesty the Queen who shared the hardships with her people in that war-torn era.

At the foot of the tree of life, there was an argument between them about freedom.

Eventually, she convinced the Queen, and the concept of family began to exist in the Wind Forest.

What is freedom?

That night, she once said to Her Majesty the Queen: "Without strength, how can you talk about freedom?" ”

Even now, she still insists on her own ideas and ideas, but standing here today, she doesn't want to repeat that sentence with Irina again.

Maybe she's really old.

Or maybe it's Irina, who is still as stubborn as a girl, is not the queen who has experienced hundreds of years of race wars after all, and there is some truth, since you know that it doesn't make sense, then you don't need to say it again.

As for the freedom of the wandering elves, what does it matter to her?

The freedom she wants is the freedom in the forest, the freedom to resist the enemy outside the forest.

The distance between the forest and the enemy, that is the freedom she insists on.

The servants and slaves locked in cellars, cells, and rooms, and the soldiers who were guarding the most treacherous frontiers, also heard Irina's words.

Tears flowed from the corners of their eyes, slid over the glaring inscriptions on their faces, and dripped to the ground.

"Rebel"

What a disgusting word, yet it was engraved on their faces.

Back then, they or their ancestors shed their blood to defend the Forest of Wind, so that the elves had a place on the Nolan Continent.

After the end of the war, they chose to leave this place where their comrades and relatives were buried, and went to a distant place to find their own freedom, and forgot those days of blood and fire with wandering.

Then they waited for the butcher's knife from the people.

Overnight, all the elves who left the Wind Forest were considered rebels, and the demons and orcs who had invaded the Wind Forest and slaughtered the elves were commissioned by the elves to pick up the killing butcher's knife again.

The free wandering elves around the continent were besieged and tortured, and those who survived were tortured in every way, either auctioned off at major underground auctions, or sent back to the Forest of Winds, and became slaves of major families.

This is the death of the wandering elves.

The helpless elves had hoped that the good queen would put an end to this.

However, it didn't.

The queen seems to have known nothing about it, and has never even expressed any opinion on the matter.

Or rather, this is the will of Her Majesty.

No elves know, because in the past few decades, Her Majesty the Queen has made an annual sacrifice ceremony, and she has hardly appeared in front of the elves.

The power of several major families is getting bigger and bigger, and in order to satisfy their desires, there are more and more mercenary groups that capture elves, and their actions are becoming more and more rampant.

In the face of a large number of mercenary groups, the wandering elves had little to resist.

They were escorted to the Forest of Winds, where they were labeled rebels and dark mages and forcibly baptized with the so-called eaux-de-vie.

The beautiful elves were chosen as personal servants, while the ordinary-looking and old elves had the word 'rebel' engraved on their faces and became slaves.

The Elven Codex has set them in chains, and the strict hierarchy has crushed them to the lowest level, unable to break free, or even dare to struggle.

Perhaps there were also elves who took pity on them and helped them.

And the most famous, the most done, unconsciously Her Royal Highness Princess Irina.

She hunted on the Norlan continent, targeting mercenary groups, and in just a few years, she exterminated countless mercenary groups, killing demons and orcs in fear, and disappeared for a time.

Her appearance appeared like a ray of light in the hearts of wanderers.

They have even begun to fantasize that if one day he becomes the queen of the Wind Forest, it may all be over, and they will finally ask for slavery and set out on a journey to freedom again.

However, just three years ago, Alex was killed, and Irina disappeared with her.

The long-hidden mercenary group reappeared and continued to frantically hunt down the wandering elves, the dawn was extinguished, and everything returned to darkness and despair.

However, two months ago, Irina reappeared.

First, he killed Hubert and asked the queen to revise the Elven Codex, and then he killed Cobier, who led the mercenary group, and let go of the elves who had been captured.

The words that spread throughout the Forest of the Wind touched the softness of their hearts.

It turns out that there are still people who understand their hearts, and it turns out that there are still elves who remember the ancestral teachings of the elves and know what the elves have been really pursuing.

"What is this?" McGonagall, who was looking for ducks on Lake Waldiner, looked back in the direction of the Wind Forest with some surprise, her eyes narrowing.

At this moment, two brightly colored ducks suddenly flew up from the reeds on the side.

"I've finally found you!" McGonagall's eyes lit up, and she swooped down on the griffon, turning her back and grabbing one of them by the neck.

The top of the red head, the three colors are mixed and smeared indiscriminately, and the red-topped three-flowered duck, which is as fat as a swan, is really ugly and can't see people.

"Ah Zi, turn around and go to the Forest of Winds." McGonagall casually tied the duck to the griffon's back, and said in a deep voice.

……

"Nonsense!" Berg rebuked angrily, shaking everyone out of their wavering state of mind.

Although the patriarchs of the major families had complicated expressions, their hearts were extremely firm, and now no one could make them give up the rights in their hands and the benefits and status that this power could bring to them.

And what Irina wants to do is to subvert all this.

So, she was their enemy.

Berg looked at the elders of the elder group sitting on the elder seat with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "Elders, I and the patriarchs of the clan ask for the removal of Irina, abolish her mana, and please make a ruling!" ”

"The Bellman family has asked the Elders to remove Irina!"

"The Earhart family has asked the Council of Elders to remove Irina! Punish them severely! ”

……

One by one, the patriarchs of the families spoke out one after another, asking the elder group to dismiss Irina, there were eight major families, and there were also ordinary small families, accounting for almost more than half.

Irina looked at the elves, her face full of mockery.

The elder sitting in the middle slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "According to the regulations, more than three of the eight major families jointly propose that they will automatically enter the voting process of the elder group, and now, please vote on whether to remove Princess Irina from the throne!" ”
