Chapter XVII: Decline and Rise
[Strange list... I didn't even know that the list changed yesterday... Sweat... Call Ticket ~~】
This sleep, Wang Wei slept until 12 o'clock at noon. Originally, he fell asleep on the bed as soon as he entered the house, and he didn't remember anything, but when he woke up, he found Luna and Elija sleeping on his arms on the left and right. As if in a daze, they felt movement around them, and the two girls hummed at the same time, adjusting their bodies to a suitable position and continuing to sleep.
Listening to the sound of the two girls' even breathing, Wang Wei could only smile helplessly, and then looked at the ceiling in a daze.
Suddenly, a strange sensation came into his head, and he felt as if someone was calling him, but this call did not seem to be a sound yet, but more like a consciousness that came into his head.
Wang Wei raised his head slightly, but he didn't see anyone, and he really didn't feel anyone's existence. But he did feel someone calling him, a low, old voice.
"Come here, follow my voice......"
This time, Wang Wei finally heard what the other party was saying! The other party's speech speed was very slow, to the point of unbearable slowness, and the frequency of the sound was very low, as if the sound waves were severely stretched and distorted.
"Who are you?"
Wang Wei asked in his heart.
"I'm Oak...... I'm here ......."
The voice continued to call.
This is the realm of elves, and the green iron curtain of the forest is so powerful that any spell will lose its original meaning, let alone such a huge spiritual link. Wang Wei has been forcibly spiritually linked a few times so far, one of which is the mother of the Abyss Dragon Queen, Xinghuo. And that time, she was able to succeed when Wang Wei was bathing in dragon blood, causing the blood to blend at that time.
The human spirit is very subtle, and it is very easy to destroy, but if you want to influence, or even control, it is not a matter of casual talk.
Wait a minute.
Oak?
Wang Wei felt that this name was very familiar, as if someone had mentioned this name to himself, and it was definitely not a bastard or something. The voice slowly disappeared, but Wang Wei was completely sleepy by the inexplicable spiritual link just now. Gently breaking free from the entanglement of the two girls, Wang Wei got off the bed, tiptoed to cover the two girls with blankets, and then put on his shoes and walked to the door.
Since the buildings of the elf clan do not have gates, and there is only light yarn as a curtain at the door, Wang Wei does not have to worry about his departure alarming others.
Walking out of the room, Wang Wei stretched his waist fiercely, and his joints, which were a little sore due to the lack of activity all night, made a popping sound. There is a sink for washing at the door, and I wash my face in it, and I also wash my hair, and mobilize the fire element to steam the water on my head.
Walking down the stairs, an elf who had been waiting at the door walked towards Wang Wei from a distance.
It turned out to be one of the elven elders last night!
Looking at the elven elder with a little dew on his head, Wang Wei suddenly discovered a fact.
"You've been waiting here?"
Wang Wei was a little shocked in his heart.
"Yes. Because you said that when you wake up, you will have some questions to ask me, and I can't be sure when you will wake up, so I decided to wait for you here. It seems that this decision is very correct, as you will not wake up at the same time as the elf. ”
The elven elder said.
No matter what time the elf went to bed yesterday, he would definitely get up at six o'clock the next day, which is something that cannot be beaten. And humans will definitely lie in bed.
"So why don't you eat something first, and then we go to the Luna Sacrifice Hall?"
The elven elder asked, holding a basket of fruits in his hand.
"No, let's eat while you go. ”
Wang Wei said.
After thanking the elven elders, Wang Wei followed the elven elders all the way. When I came yesterday, it was almost evening, and I couldn't see anything clearly, but now I look like a heavenly place.
All the buildings were made of large chunks of white rock, covered with patterns peculiar to the elves, and in the sunlight, the glow of energy made Wang Wei know that these patterns were more than just beautiful. The Moon God Temple, which represented the greatest glory of the elves of the year, was in the middle of the mountain, and the place where Wang Wei entered yesterday was the main sacrificial hall of the Moon God Temple.
Back then, when the elves were at their peak, half of the world was under the control of the elves, and just by looking at these buildings that had a little traces of age, we basically knew the glory of those years. And now, there are less than 2,000 elves in the entire elven realm, and all of them live in the Moon God Temple carved out of the mountain, and even so, there are not a large number of idle rooms in the Moon God Temple.
The decline of one race is the rise of another.
Wang Wei firmly believes in this, the rise of human beings has created more brilliant civilization achievements than the elves back then, but it is obvious that it is also much more chaotic than the elves back then. Disputes rarely arise among the elves, and they always try to find a more conciliatory way to resolve the conflict. In ancient times, elves still maintained gender distinction, and still multiplied by mating, and even so, they were still a long-lived race. They have time to squander and waste, and they may spend decades debating over trivial matters.
But now, all the male elves are missing, and the elves are throwing themselves into nature, in exchange for a life equal to nature, but cherishing life even more.
Bella once said that elves think differently than any other species. They think very differently, they think about others first, and then they think about themselves, which is the altruistic thinking that is unique to the elves. But this kind of altruism is not the kind of blind good old man, but a kind of compromise on some things, and it also has a certain xenophobic tendency.
Because the elves began to realize the preciousness of life.
If an elf dies and cannot be resurrected through the World Tree, no new elves will rejoin the elves. Even if an elf chooses to mate to reproduce, then she must become a mortal, but the offspring of a mortal and another mortal are destined to be just a mortal, not an elf.
That's why stubborn elves even started asking for help.
Join the Grand Elder in the Temple of the Moon, where Aragon and Aronachos were sitting in their positions last night, and Prince Smecta had not yet appeared.
As soon as Wang Wei appeared, the two outsiders and the other six elders all stood up and applauded together.
"Welcome to our heroes!"
The Great Elder who led Wang Wei forward said loudly.
As thick as Wang Wei couldn't help but feel a blush.

Well... I know it's wrong.
