Chapter 258: Report to the Coach! She hits people with the ball!
The Ranger led Don and them to the outside of the Queen's palace on the upper floors and left.
What appeared in front of Don was a palace that blended perfectly with the World Tree, and the outer walls of the palace, the pavilions, and even the fountain in the front square were all grown directly from the World Tree. The palace is not huge, but this kind of "architecture" that is completely in tune with nature allows Donn to see the wonders of this world, which is a masterpiece of nature, a realm that humans may never have reached.
"Somehow, get us somewhere!"
Grantia couldn't help but complain, "What's the point of throwing people here?" โ
Don smiled: "You're an elf, not a human. โ
Grandia rolled her eyes: "Elder Sharon has already told you, I was raised by humans, and I am used to using words, besides, human beings pursue their own individuality, and they want to make themselves brighter and more conspicuous in the population, while elves are pursuing group coordination, and strive to be consistent with other elves, I don't want to be like others." โ
"You're right, not exactly."
A crisp voice came from the side, and then Don saw another heroic female elf greet him with a smile: "It used to be like that, but now we are trying to change...... I am Matilda, and on behalf of Her Majesty's Guard, I welcome you, distinguished guests. โ
"Yo! Mathilda! Long time no see! โ
Brian smiled and said hello, "Is Isally okay?" โ
"Hello, Lord Brian. Her Majesty is fine. โ
Matilda looked at Grandia and smiled, "You must be Grandia of Salamar...... Elves raised by humans. I've heard of you. โ
Grandia froze for a moment, she obviously didn't expect that her popularity had actually spread to the Emerald Corolla.
"Her Majesty is very interested in you, so come along. She's waiting for you in the palace, please. โ
Matilda turned neatly and led the way.
"You know her?"
Don and Grant are both very curious.
"Of course, the last time I came, she was in charge of the reception, and I tell you, she is very good, and she is a good person, but she is a little bad. Stare at me too closelyโ"
"Lord Brian, staring at you is at the orders of Her Majesty."
Matilda didn't look back, and said casually, "She's worried that you're going to spoil all the wine made by the Elves in the entire Emerald Corolla." โ
Brian immediately felt weak: "Hey, hey...... How could that be......"
Don laughed, "I think it's quite likely." โ
The interior of the palace in the Elven King City amazed Tang En again and again. The palace is magnificent but not extravagant, elegant but not ostentatious, and the decorations inside are all made by the elves themselves, all kinds of exquisite handicrafts, sculptures and paintings. Lifelike wooden carvings of human beings and animals line the corridors. Walking next to almost all of them have the illusion that they are living creatures, and the beautiful realistic paintings are definitely super-top artworks even if they are taken to the earth.
Walking through the gallery full of amazing works of art, they entered the hall of the palace, where an oval-shaped table was clearly formed by the branches of the trees growing in circles, where the elven elders met, and directly in front of the corridor. At the head of the table was a throne surrounded by vines and petals, and a female elf sat dressed in a luxurious costume rarely seen among elves. Boredom playing with the unpretentious staff in his hand.
After seeing this female elf, Don couldn't help but hold his breath, and his eyes widened subconsciously.
He had only one feeling at the moment.
Big.
It's huge!
I've seen a lot of elves on the road just now, and Don has confirmed the fact that the elves are all airports, but ...... The elf in front of him directly broke this rule!
36D๏ผ
No, at least 36E!
It's a murder weapon in the world!
Not only big, but also quite good!
Newton would have cried if he were here!
This elf, who has no queen-like appearance anywhere other than a queen, is the current elf queen Isari Corolla.
Isally, who was unconsciously rubbing the staff, suddenly came back to her senses, and then rushed to Don with a face full of surprise, and hugged him excitedly: "Thank you, Goddess!" You're finally here! โ
Report to the coach!
She hits people with the ball!
Nora rushed straight into the sky in fright, looking at Don who was almost suffocated with sympathy.
The tall Isally is even taller than Donne, and she is a standard queen-style royal sister, so this hug directly made Don use facial cleanser.
Although the facial cleanser is very good, but ...... If Isally doesn't let Don go again, it is estimated that Plandal will have the first chest murder.
Don gripped hard, and his five fingers sank deep......
Matilda reminded: "Your Majesty, please be careful, the guests are about to suffocate. โ
"Ahh
Isally let go of Don and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm sorry! It was my negligence. โ
Next to her, Grantia looked down at her chest, then her face was full of jealousy.
Your Majesty, this is not negligence at all, it is a show-off, a naked show-off!
"Lord Brian, long time no see."
Just one sentence makes people feel a strong aura!
Worthy of the Queen! - Huh? Aren't the elves all stupid?
"Ahem, Isalie......"
Brian was a little embarrassed and was about to apologize, but was interrupted.
"We'll catch up later."
Isari forcibly took Donn's hand and gestured to Brian and Grantia, "You're Grantia from Salamar, right?" We'll talk later, Matilda, take the two of them to rest for a while, I have important things to talk about with the guests, don't let anyone disturb us. โ
Seeing Isari hurriedly pull Don into the side hall, Brian and Grantia's eyes widened, what is the situation?
The elven queen Isari who has never met. Actually so enthusiastic about Donn?
On the contrary, it is very common for old friend Brian and fellow elf Grantia?
"Matilda, what's going on?"
Brian's face was full of astonishment: "Big brother, this is the first time here, right?" โ
"I don't know."
Matilda's face was full of curiosity: "This is the first time I have seen Her Majesty so gaffe...... Come with me, there are pastries and fruits. You can take a break. โ
Partial hall.
Tang En was uncomfortable by Isari's burning gaze, coughed lightly, and said, "I have seen Her Majesty, I Don, Lord Ellington, the purpose of this visit to Her Majesty the Queen-"
"Needless to say!"
Isari interrupted Don and said urgently, "Can you solve the problem of the population growth of the elves?" Right? โ
Don was dumbfounded: "Who did you listen to?" โ
"Goddess."
"Goddess?"
Tang En was stunned: "You mean that." The goddess of the earth? โ
Isally nodded rightfully: "Of course, who else could it be?" โ
"Wait! I've got to figure it out......"
Don was Spartan, and Nice Claire, the goddess of earth and nature, told Isari. Can you help the elves solve the population problem yourself? What the hell is this kidding?
Aren't the elves her people? Isn't she capable of creating life? Open your own explosives!
What's the matter with putting this task on my head?
Even if I go out and plant the world in the elven country, it is impossible to increase the population much if I squeeze myself dry, after all, humans and elves have a certain degree of reproductive isolation, and they will only give birth to half elves.
Other than that......
Don suddenly came back to his senses. His eyes widened: "You can talk to the Earth Goddess directly!?" โ
"The power of the goddess is too strong. I can't handle the pressure of direct conversation, but with the World Tree, I can do it. โ
"Can I talk to her? Honestly, I have a lot of questions for them right now! โ
"Of course that's fine."
Isari said happily, "After all, you are the goddess's hand-appointed oracle." โ
"An oracle appointed by the Goddess? What do you mean? โ
"It's literal, but if you want to talk to the goddess, you have to help me solve the problems that the elves are facing now!"
Isali's expression was very serious: "The overall growth of the number of elves has stagnated, and even begun to decrease, and the situation is very serious. โ
Don pouted, "I see that Elder Sharon is optimistic. I thought you weren't in a hurry. โ
"Of course, ordinary elves will not be in a hurry because of this, after all, the number of our elves is very stable. The rate of growth is also very slow, and even if there is a change, it will not be visible for a while, but as an elven queen, this is a problem that I need to solve. โ
"Why do elves stop growing?"
"You should know that we elves have two ways to reproduce."
Seeing Don nodded, Isali continued: "Actually, due to our long lifespan, we will consume a lot of resources, plus the death of the elves is only the beginning of another reincarnation, so we rarely take the initiative to increase the population, and under the will of the goddess, we have always controlled the population to be basically constant. โ
"Under normal circumstances, the growth of elves has always depended on the World Tree, and the World Tree will give birth to an elf baby every year, which is our most stable way to increase newborns, until the first generation of elves reaches the lifespan limit, and our population is basically constant."
"Unless there is a situation in the previous Chaos Invasion War, we will choose the way of combining the sexes to achieve rapid reproduction in the short term to replenish the war-damaged members."
"However, all of this changed one hundred and sixty-six years ago, and during the second Chaos Invasion War, which lasted for fifty years, we elves have been actively increasing their numbers to fight against the Chaos army. The dead spirits will return to the World Tree and be reborn with the blessing of the goddess, but at this time, something terrible happens. โ
"The souls of many elves who died in battle were polluted by chaos, and the World Tree had to purify the pollution in their souls in order to regenerate them, but the burden of purifying pollution on the World Tree was very heavy, and finally, when the war was forty years old, the World Tree finally could not withstand the impact, and the birth of a newborn was terminated for the first time."
"Then the war ended until now, one hundred and sixteen years have passed, and the World Tree is still fighting against the remaining power of Chaos, and in these one hundred and sixteen years, there has not been any newborn babies in the entire Elven Country!" (To be continued.) )
