Chapter 117: Inquiry
"No one knows exactly how Matteo succeeded, and no one was optimistic about his breeding experiments, but ...... He just succeeded. The elf said, and his name had been told to Nether before, Rey.
Rey and Nether walked through the forest, complaining to Nether.
Then the elves were in civil strife. ”
"Some elves think that elves need some transformation, or the elves will be exterminated by humans sooner or later. ”
"There are also elves who believe that the new natural tree is an opportunity to make the elves great again. ”
Matteo sent men to take away the spirits who were willing to believe in the new tree of nature, but the priests did not allow it, and civil strife ensued. ”
"Didn't Matteo himself come?" asked Nether.
"There's no need to come. Rey shook his head and said: "It's been a long time since the elves have produced a strategic-level hero, and Mateo has defeated the army of the Orsay Empire by himself, and he has been regarded as the most powerful existence of the elves." ”
Because of this, so many elves choose to follow him. ”
At this point, Nether finally had a basic understanding of the current situation.
The elves are troubled internally and externally, with population problems internally and humans eyeing them externally.
At this time, Mateo was born, cultivated a new tree of nature, and with great power, repelled the armies of the Human Empire.
He was supposed to be the greatest hero of the elves, but the tree of nature he cultivated had some side effects, and the priesthood who believed in the old tree of nature called Matteo to dispose of the new tree of nature on the grounds that he had violated the taboo, and then return to be punished.
Matteo smiled, and went it alone, not only that, but he sent someone to take the elves who were willing to follow him.
This is where the turmoil arises.
When Nether and Rey returned to the elven village, the first thing they saw was the huge ancient tree that covered the sky.
On it, he could see some head-sized fruits, fluttering in the wind, and he could sense that there was a breath of life in them that was slowly growing.
But the village under the ancient trees is much more miserable.
Most of the houses that seemed to be born naturally from trees had been destroyed at the moment, and a few were still burning.
Some of the elves sat on the rocks by the side of the road, wounded, their eyes glazed over, or they hugged each other and wept bitterly.
The elves are in the form of villages, which exist around the trees of nature.
The priests of the Ancient Tree, who are able to communicate with the Tree of Nature, have formed a priesthood to handle the affairs of the village.
It also has the Elven Clan, which is an armed force directly under the priests to protect the Elves, but there are not many other collective institutions.
Newborn elves are mostly free-range, and few will manage them until they reach adulthood.
As long as they don't leave the village, most of the place is left to the elves to roam freely.
A coming-of-age festival will be held every three years, and the adult elves will be summoned, and then tested, and if the ability is okay, then send it to the elf team, and the ability is average, so go find something to do yourself.
Anyway, under the influence of natural secret arts, the elves are not short of food, and most of the necessities of life are self-sufficient, and there is basically no business in the village.
The only thing that is relevant is the exchange of goods between the priesthood and some of the humans.
In general, the elves are actually extremely loose inside, and it is not surprising that the ancient trees are weakening quickly as the production capacity of the ancient trees gradually decreases.
Even for the return of Nether and Rey, they didn't have the spirit to come and interrogate, but there were some members of the elf team, and after a rough look, there were no purple features, and they easily put them into the village.
For the response to civil unrest, it is close to zero.
Nether even saw that an elf had mounted his horse and left the village without anyone stopping him.
"Give an order to Maot to deal with those traitors at once, and then come back and plead guilty!"
"Otherwise, they will be put on the list of exiles. ”
As he passed by the priest's hall, Nether heard the solemn and solemn voices of the priests coming from inside, but what they were talking about made Nether want to laugh a little.
The elves are naturally peaceful, but it's true that they are old-fashioned and don't know how to be flexible.
All matters had to be resolved by the priestly council, and the addition of a new rule would cause them to oppose it wildly.
In a way, the priesthood seems to have decayed with the tree of nature.
But fortunately, Nether didn't care about this, what he cared about now was the various secret techniques accumulated by the elves.
Along the way, Nether found that the elves had good achievements in cultivating plants and domesticating animals.
In the werewolf world, Nether can rely on his own ability to study life transformation techniques from some spells, but his life transformation techniques actually have many problems.
For example, he has never dared to modify those birds.
These things require a lot of experience and knowledge to complete the foundation.
A technology, a theory, even requires generations of countless efforts and countless minds to successfully apply it, and it all takes time.
In the process, borrowing can go a long way in filling the gaps in this experience.
Nether is now obviously eyeing the accumulation of the elven race, after all, as he continues to learn more about this world, he finds that although the elven race is in decline, after all, the ancestors are broad, and there are really a lot of good things.
For example, an elf's 'transformation' secret technique.
It is said that elves can transform into giant wolves, giant bears, and even birds.
Or cultivate man-eating vines, or summon ancient trees to revive and become ancient tree giants.
If you can obtain these secret techniques, after returning to the werewolf world, it will be of great help to Nether's sorcerian practice, and even the study of the werewolf bloodline.
However, there were some other problems, and Nether, a 'minor', was stopped outside the library.
Obviously, the village had only suffered from civil strife before, and the strength of the village had been severely damaged, but when Nether wanted to learn, they still followed the already somewhat outdated rules, underage elves, and were not allowed to touch the secret arts.
Nether frowned, elves generally reach adulthood around thirty-two to thirty-six.
He was now seventeen years old, and he would have to wait about fifteen years to meet the rules to watch the secret arts.
This is clearly unrealistic.
"Let's go back first, Nether. "Rey followed Nether's side, and for some reason, he had returned to the village, and with the protection of the elven clan, Rey still followed Nether.
Nether nodded, wondering if if he would be able to acquire the secret art much faster if he took refuge in Matteo.
"It's better to improve your strength first. Nether and Rey found a cabin and began to renovate it.
When he was fighting with the slave catchers, he tried the knight cultivation method a little and found that there was not much problem with the basic part.
Although there are some differences between the vitality of the elf and the human, he can still rely on the knight's cultivation method to control it, and the problem is that the internal structure of the elf's body is very different from his original body.
For example, there is such a thing as a magic organ, which people in the werewolf world do not have.
Therefore, there is a situation where the horogram is not applicable.
If he wanted to continue his cultivation, he had to come up with an elven version of the life chart.
In addition, the sorcerer's cultivation also had problems later, that is, there was a difference in the natural forces of the two worlds.
In the werewolf world, such a spiritual power structure can attract this part of the force of nature, but in the current world, it is useless at all.
"At the end of the day, you still need something to refer to. Thinking so, Nether looked at the door, and when he came back from picking the fruit, he was about to call Ney to eat.
He shuddered, and the familiar feeling of oppression fell on him again.
The teeth began to fight up and down, and under Nether's gaze, Rey asked tremblingly, "Is there anything I need help with?"
As soon as the words came out, Rey felt that the oppression disappear, but at the same time, a sense of despair burst out from the bottom of his heart, and he felt that his life was about to be gray.
Nether smiled, his eyes full of inquiring.
