Wanda let go of Cronis's arm, took the little girl's hand, and walked to the other side of the garden, where there was a large lake, and there were many exotic flowers and plants planted on the shore, some of which were open at night.

Only Alan and Cronis were left in the clearing.

"Alan, why did you change your mind again in the afternoon and want to stay?"

Clonis didn't call Alan the Great Elder this time

"Because I figured it out, for me it's just a matter of staying, a little sooner or later, but for you, it's a matter of the rise and fall of the entire race, and I will be the same as you when I change places, so I choose to stay. ”

"Thank you for thinking from the perspective of the elves, if every intelligent creature on this continent could think about others like you, there wouldn't be so many fights in the world. Unfortunately, the vast majority of intelligent beings are motivated by their own interests. ”

Cronis looked up at the moon hanging in the treetops, and said with deep feeling.

"I'll be in the Elven Forest for a while, but not for long, and when spring comes, I'll leave anyway. ”

Alan spoke his bottom line.

"Allen, it's not me who left you behind, but Garanord, if you become a Great Elder, you will naturally no longer be restricted by the will of the previous generation of Great Elders, and you can move freely. ”

Speaking of which, Kronis still has to persuade Alan to succeed him as the Grand Elder left after Garanord's death.

"Cronis, as the new generation of Grantham of the elven race, I don't believe you even have the right to decide whether a human will stay or not?"

Alan shook his head and sneered.

"If I were the real Grantham, of course there would be no problem. On the surface, Grantham is a royal family appointed by God, but the divine right of kings has always been a propaganda method for all emperors to consolidate their rule, and elves are no exception, if they are used to fool ordinary people, of course, it is no problem, but for elven nobles with a clear history, it is useless. ”

"Are you kidding, Klonis, is it a saying that the Grantham family is chosen by God?"

If the power of human beings is just a sentence, Alan still believes it, but in the elven race, a race that attaches great importance to inheritance, if the Grantham family can't show some real skills, and just say that they are chosen by God based on empty white teeth, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the people, and even Garlanord, as the great elder, at least has a astrolabe in his hand that is claimed to be passed down from God.

"Of course, there are some special reasons why Grantham is a royal family of elves. Alan, you also saw the scene where my father died in battle. ”

Cronis's voice grew bitter.

"Yes. I admire His Majesty Grantham for his heroic sacrifice in the form of a giant ancient tree. ”

Alan nodded, he sincerely admired Grantham's feat, not every leader can sacrifice himself for the safety of his people and the survival of the race.

"An ancient elven magic used by my father - the ancient tree of war, this magic is based on the combination of the burning elf's own vitality and the spring of life, and it is incarnated into a powerful ancient tree of war, and the person who uses this magic can only die in one ending. This magic is not available to every elf, only the Grantham family has a certain chance of having this ability, and those who have this ability will become the king of the elven race, because in the historical records of the elves, this ability gives the elven king the ultimate magic to protect his people. ”

Cronis calmed the sadness a little before continuing.

"So, you have the ability to use this magic?"

Alan didn't expect that the so-called divine designation turned out to be like this, but the two positions of the elf king and the great elder are really double-edged swords, usually in power, but at critical times they have to pay the price of their lives, no wonder the elven gods will give the elves such a long lifespan, because the critical time is used to play with life.

From this point of view, the elven god is still very fair.

This method has the advantage of avoiding the struggle for royal power within the elves, but it also has drawbacks, and the heir chosen in this way may not really be a good ruler.

"Every male elf of the Grantham family has to be baptized by the Fountain of Life when he becomes an adult, and through this baptism, he can find out who has the ability to use the ancient tree of war, and I was found in the baptism ten years ago, so I was recognized as the chosen heir and became the highness of the elf race. ”

"So what's the problem now?"

According to Clonis's explanation, his becoming the king of the elves is almost a certainty, and I don't know what else he is worried about.

"My father was the only recorded Elven King in the history of the Elves to use the magic of the Ancient Tree of War, and he consumed all of his life and fountain of life, only to be destroyed by the paladins of the Holy See. Originally, the elves had always believed that this magic should be as invincible as the Forest Guardian, but now it seems that the Holy See has a way to restrain us, which makes the value of having this ability drastically reduced. But when you can't take your responsibility, power naturally goes with you, and that's a universal truth. ”

Clonis's words are full of helplessness, but the meaning is easy to understand, any ruler's power comes from his strength, not from his faith.

"Although the War Ancient Tree is not invincible, it is still powerful, at least within your elven race. ”

"The test of whether or not you have the ability to use the magic of the Ancient Tree of War will only be tested on the male elves of the Grantham family, and I was the first person to take the test, and then passed, and the rest of the people don't need to continue to take the test at all, and my father is no different. So even I don't believe that I am the only one among the millions of elves who have this ability, and what we elves really lack is the World Tree and the Fountain of Life, not the candidate to be the king. ”

"But your family has ruled the elven race for an unknown number of thousands of years, how can this tradition be so easy to change?

Despite Cronis's reasoning, Alan still found it hard to believe that a conservative elf would do such a rebellion, and he did not expect that Cronis would expose himself to his face, and if this word spread, the foundation of Grantham's rule would be completely upended. And the reason why Clonis said this to himself is that either he is really cornered, or he has unreserved trust in himself.
