- There is no such thing as hatred for no reason in this world.

Even if Tovatus is a funman, he is an elf after all.

What kind of fun could it be to reverse this natural position and make him happy to see a member of his own clan assassinated, or even to give advice on it?

At least Russell thinks that the "assassination of Kamalse" is not enough fun.

Although this is tantamount to simultaneous revenge in a threefold sense—the revenge of Russell, the revenge of the inferior, and the revenge of Miss Morgan.

But after all, this has nothing to do directly with Tovatus. This kind of revenge drama must have been experienced countless times in his long memory of "Tovatus".

It can make him feel happy, and he is even willing to accept Miss Morgan's commission to get her godfather to help her; Without even taking any pay, he took the initiative to provide them with key information and taught them how to assassinate Director Kamalse......

Of all the positions, the ass position is the truest one.

If you can cross your own ass, there must be a deeper reason.

Now, Russell thinks he's probably got that answer.

Morgan thought that Tovatus' mother was also an elf...... This is common knowledge that belongs to most people.

But Russell knew...... This is not the case.

Not long ago, he had just learned the secret of the elves from Grandma Lan:

Psiloidism is a disease that, once cured, can become an immortal spirit.

The elves have mastered this technique, and they have even been able to heal everyone long ago, allowing the world to complete the true "ascension".

But they chose to monopolize the technology.

By strictly controlling the number of elves and selecting the best humans to become elves, the elves have an absolute advantage over ordinary humans.

To hide this secret...... In other words, in order to maintain the elves' dominance over humans and make ordinary people feel that "elves are born noble", the elves even created their own language that belongs to the immortals.

"Elven language" is even a compulsory course for some majors.

Because they have the possibility to deal with elves after graduation, mastering elven language is a great advantage.

They specialize in cultivating romantic, useless hobbies, creating special terms that only elves use...... For example, "Mother Tree", "Ancestor", "Beast-eared Man", and "Beastification", so as to draw a clear line with humans.

Among human beings, only a very small number of large families, or extremely good individuals, can access this secret that Grandma Lan knows.

And as long as they can get in touch with this level, once they have the opportunity to become elves, they will immediately become vested interests again, and begin to keep secrets with elves.

Faced with Tovatus's questioning, the godfather didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

It is the "ultramarine" who knows this, and the relationship that he relies on is the "Tower of Babel", and neither of them can be shown in front of Tovatus.

So he could only remain silent.

"That's ...... so"

However, Tovatus seems to have anticipated this for a long time.

His gaze at the godfather became complicated.

It's like the relief of finding a like-minded partner, and it's like the enthusiasm of facing competitors......

Perhaps the barber had mistaken it—he even detected a faint hint of melancholy and sadness in Tovatus' face.

"That's why you said at that time...... 'They have monopolized most of the industries, have the vast majority of wealth, and are almost the uncrowned kings of this world. But they want more'. ”

Tovatus looked at the godfather and said softly, "When you say 'they', you don't mean corporations, but elves. ”

…… No, I actually mean the company.

At first, I wanted to refer to the capitalists at the top of the company.

But the barber was silent for a moment, but he was dumbfounded to find that Tovatus's statement seemed to be fine......

In a sense, the elves are the personification of the world's runaway capital.

- That's why the elves are so sure.

Because among the human beings, the best individuals, the most powerful and wealthy families, will eventually become elves as well.

Anyone who is able to resist the rule of the elves will eventually be assimilated and share power...... And most crucially, that is the right to immortality.

Although the elves transformed through this method will not necessarily become the eighty-four directors, inherit the fate and memories passed down from generation to generation, and directly become the immortal directors of the head office.

But ordinary elves may be better for those families.

The brief memories before becoming elves will undoubtedly be diluted by the long millennia, and become extremely pale.

It's not just family affection that can be ignored. It is also difficult for the elves reincarnated in this way to benefit the family.

- But the boys and girls who have been transformed into ordinary elves are different.

They have a lifespan of about 1,000 years and can shelter their families for a long time.

Although they no longer belong to the family themselves, they have nothing to do with it nominally.

However, the memories of their childhood, and the emotions they have cultivated over the years after becoming elves, will make them love their family more than anyone else.

In this case, seeing the decline of the family, he will naturally help to pull it up and continue the bloodline kindness of the past......

If the family has cultivated an excellent "foundation" and has a new elf quota, it will naturally give priority to taking care of these families.

After all, for elves, the family can only be regarded as a very faint blood connection, and only elves are the same kind that can communicate on an equal footing - but if they are also elves, they will naturally be more trustworthy if they have a blood relationship with themselves.

So it was passed down from generation to generation...... It forms a solidified power.

- It's like a senior management of the company.

Only those who are at the same level can communicate with each other on an equal footing; Ordinary people can theoretically be transformed into high-level people, but this way is controlled by a few people; Those who become at the top will cultivate their own faction and increase the number of "kinds" they can trust.

…… No wonder, in the Sky Age, the elves chose to enter the giant enterprise mode.

Because from the very beginning, elves are equivalent to the "directors" of the world.

So, even though the hairdresser didn't know the secrets of the elves at the time, he could perfectly apply the words of those directors and those companies to the elves......

And from this point of view, Tovatus's position is more nuanced.

A ...... "director" who betrayed his own class?

"Are you wondering," Tovatus said suddenly, "why am I different from them?" ”

"Yes."

The godfather paused, then nodded calmly.

He straightened his back and looked down into Tovatus' eyes.

The red eyes, which were always looking at the world playfully, were now calm and deep.

"I need to know...... It will become such a reason. ”

The godfather spoke slowly, and said very seriously and incomprehensibly: "If I don't know the answer to this matter, if I can't feel your sincerity, I can only think that you are playing tricks on me." ”

At this time, for the first time, he saw Tovatus as an equal goal.

Therefore...... Instead, he lost the pretense of humility in his words.

…… It's ridiculous to say.

Before today, barbers never thought of elves as superior.

- because he subconsciously thinks that he has a higher status than these elves.

And Tovatus apparently tasted this strange and unfounded ...... from the words of the godfather But it seems unusually reasonable arrogance.

It's not arrogance, but there is a reason for arrogance that is inexplicable and inexplicable.

"This unabashed arrogance, and absolute trust in yourself...... Ah, that's familiar. It's funny. ”

The black-haired and red-eyed elf boy suddenly laughed: "At this moment, you are more like an elf ...... than me."

He was silent for a moment, and gathered his thoughts.

Then the "discordant" replied:

"Let's put it this way. I've actually died once. ”

He replied softly, "It was my mother who crossed time and saved me once." ”
