Hearing this, Russell was slightly stunned.

"I thought the elves didn't care about life and death......"

Of course, he also knew that the privilege of the elves actually came from the acquiescence of the dragon.

But perhaps it was the existence of Tovatus that gave Russell the impression that "elves are not all fun people".

Now it seems that it should be the elven wind review who has been killed.

"Elves really don't care that much about life and death...... But that doesn't mean they don't care about dying. ”

Grandma Lan shook her head happily and took a sip of the teacup.

Obviously, this is not the first time that this question has been asked, and she even has experience: "You all ignore one thing. The idea is that not all elves are immortal. Only the eighty-four special elves who bear the 'fate', the eighty-four elven directors who are now the elves, hold the memory backup ......"

“…… Truly. It's me who wants to get out of the way. ”

Russell nodded and agreed: "In this case, it is impossible to develop a tradition of not caring about life and death in the group of elves. ”

Although the number of ordinary elves is small, they are not that few.

There are more than 300 million people in this world, and the proportion of elves is 1 in 10,000.

Not all elves become "directors". There are also those who exist as artists, writers, and craftsmen...... It's not that there are no penniless elves who have failed to start a business.

Unlike the eighty-four. Although they live a long life, they are not immortal.

"Even those eighty-four people may not be willing to be 'reincarnated'."

"Because growing up again, will you delay a lot of plans and make yourself vulnerable?"

"There's a reason for that. Another reason is ...... Even in the philosophical view of the elven directors, 'reincarnation' is not entirely regarded as 'resurrection'.

"Individuals are completely different from each other. Even if you have the same memory, you may not be able to live as the same person in the end because of different genes, genders, hormone levels, and individual talents between different bodies...... Not to mention, the memories aren't exactly the same.

"The life of an elf is a long one. Even if the difference is only a little bit at the beginning, the difference will become very noticeable after a thousand years. ”

“…… It's obviously an immortal species, but it's very sensitive to this kind of thing? ”

Russell muttered.

This kind of "life reopening right" is put into the short-lived population...... There may be some debate, but there will be no hesitation. Everyone will be in ecstasy.

- Isn't this the common rebirth after death episode in China?

As a result, the elves who can live longer are taboo about this ......

Hearing this, Grandma Lan glanced at Russell meaningfully.

"I don't think you know yet."

“…… What? ”

"I'll think about it first, and tell you that it's okay......"

"Since Bad Sun introduced me to you, you probably want me to tell you about it."

The corners of her mouth grinned slightly.

But there was no smile on his face.

The wrinkled old face was a little terrifying for a moment.

"Have you ever seen what an elf's fetus looks like?"

She whispered, "Or, have you ever seen a human fetus?" ”

“…… I do not know. ”

Russell shook his head with some hesitation: "The human fetus...... I've seen it. The ears of the human fetus are round and do not have any spiritual features. ”

His first reaction just now was the special case of "inferior" - he was a hybrid of elves and demons, proving that elves are also fertile.

But he didn't seem to have seen a "fetal" form of an elf. I haven't even heard of it...... Even "Tovatus", who is the youngest son of an elf, looks like a teenager around thirteen or fourteen years old.

He didn't even know if the fetus of the elves was also long-eared, or if the elf's long ears were themselves a kind of spiritual trait.

"Then let me tell you the secret...... After all, this has something to do with bad days, and it's normal that he doesn't want to say it. I can't take this to the grave either. ”

Grandma Lan sighed: "If you don't know about this, you will never be able to understand what kind of mission the Tower of Babel is carrying...... I won't understand the meaning of the deer's head statue all the time.

"Although I am obviously retired, I still have the mission of 'passing on the secret' in mind."

- She doesn't even hide anymore that she was once a member of the Tower of Babel.

And when she said this, Russell saw a little dead air from the old man in a trance.

"You haven't thought that since humans can gradually acquire the characteristics of spiritual relatives...... So can they gradually lose their spiritual characteristics? ”

Grandma Lan's first words made Russell's eyes widen.

He vaguely realized something.

What would it look like if humans were stripped of their spiritual characteristics......

"That's the elves."

Grandma Lan replied, "Elves are not naturally born species. Nor does it increase the population by procreation, but is transformed from the human race...... The Evolution of Humanity.

"It's like when you have a disease, you heal and you have antibodies. If you are 'cured' after you have the Spiritual Sickness, you will no longer have the Spiritual Affinity, but will become an immortal species. The long ears that belong to the elves are proof of the healing of the 'spirit affinity'.

"So, of course, there will be no fetus of the elves. Because if psychic disorder wants to stabilize, it will be at least until the beginning of puberty.

"From that time on, if through the top secret technology of the elves, the characteristics of the spirits were removed...... Humans will become elves. ”

Grandma Lan did not hesitate in front of Russell and said the top secret that as long as she knew, she would be sentenced to death: "That's why the elves will strictly control the quantity-only in order to strictly control the quantity."

"This is the secret that belongs to the elves."

How is it possible that an elven director can be reborn immediately after death?

Even if you get permission to "reduce one person and give birth to one", it will take a long time from pregnancy to childbirth.

As an immortal species, elves should also take longer to conceive a fetus.

Russell's initial idea was that the elves might have a "fetal base" with many empty shells stored inside.

It's like in a science fiction movie, with a row of cultivation bins. Each time you get permission, you will release one from it or implant a memory into it.

…… But when you think about it, there are obvious loopholes. The current world is 1202 years, and some elves are known to have been born before 0 years...... Would the elves of that time really have such excellent technology?

And how do they keep the elven race completely pure-blooded?

Now Russell finally understood.

Why are elves not allowed to reproduce without reproductive isolation from humans......

Why is the aesthetic of elves very close to that of humans......

Why can a dead elven director be resurrected immediately......

Suddenly, Russell thought of the deer's head, which was as silver as a layer of tin foil.

- The head of a deer looks like a beautiful maiden, but it has the huge antlers that a stag can have; The quiet and heavy temperament on his body is full of the sense of reliability of the elderly, but his face is as immature as a child.

At that time, Russell thought that perhaps the spiritual features of the deer head itself had been destroyed in the war, and that the antlers were the outer garments, not the ordinary antlers, which were coated with a metal film.

But now it seems that ......
