Leon lowered his head.
The crow on her legs was staring at her without knowing it, with a faint smile.
The inquiry just now came from it.
Leon was silent for a while, then turned his head:
"No..."
Vega flapped his wings, flew to Leon's head, and sat down steadily.
Feeling his head sinking, the golden-haired elf couldn't help but lower his head lower.
"I don't want to offend you, but you are not an elf born through a sacred tree."
Leon was stunned there, raised his head suddenly, and then remembered that there was a talking crow standing above his head.
As a result, Vega gained his footing first and landed on top of her head again.
"I understand your curiosity and impulse to find out the truth, but isn't it good now?"
The crow's voice gradually echoed in her ears:
"You also have your own family."
"But, Miss Liya..."
Leon was just about to explain.
As a subordinate, how could I become a real family member with Miss Liya?
But before the words could be spoken, a magical force sealed her mouth.
"What a stubborn little girl."
Vega raised his head, looked at the elves who were enjoying themselves with his one eye, and explained to Leon:
"You don't really think that Victor intends to give you the surname Cravenna."
Leon's body stiffened and he paused there.
She couldn't speak, but her brain started thinking crazily:
Yes, Victor had no reason to help himself.
To Victor, she has only one value.
That is to prove that the Yade Sacred Tree cannot give other elves power by their surname.
"So, it's Miss Liya..."
Miss Liya, do you regard her as family?
Leon sat there blankly, not even noticing that the silencing magic had been released quietly.
Crow lowered his head, glanced at Leon, and then laughed:
"That's not what I said, it's how you understand it."
"But at least Victor is really good to his family."
Vega smiled and raised his head again, looking at the extremely harmonious scene of the elves not far away.
But in Melina's eyes, a dark color flashed that was not noticed by any elf.
Like a winding line of smoke, it quietly dissipates.
…
Two days passed, and the elves gradually adapted to life without the Yade tree.
"No, why is it me!"
Inside the sacred tree, Kokot suddenly stood up.
As soon as he slapped the table, it seemed as if the whole room was shaking.
Several elves in front of Kokot sat there, looking at each other.
Venia sat in the center, holding a scepter in her hand.
His face was calm and his eyes looked at Kokot indifferently:
"This is what the other elves voted for, I'm sorry, Kokot Yard."
"As long as you are still a member of the elves, you must abide by this rule."
The other elves nodded, agreeing very much with Venia's words.
The elves established new rules.
Because of the death of the Yade sacred tree, the way in which surnames determine elf positions has been completely abolished.
Each elf can create their own elf descendants through the sacred tree.
Therefore, things like surnames will sooner or later become a simple symbol of existence for every elf family.
The method of assigning positions by elven surnames was abandoned at the first opportunity.
Therefore, voting has become the best choice at present.
Although in Venia's eyes, those elves are still fools.
But at least after knowing the true face of the sacred tree, they no longer blindly worship the new sacred tree.
The emergence of the new sacred tree solved one of the biggest problems of the elves - the problem of population production, and it was easily solved.
They don't need to offer their natural energy to the sacred tree every day like before.
Elves can store this natural energy if they want to.
They can do anything with their natural energy.
Strengthen yourself, or...
Transform new elves through the sacred tree.
The surnames of the new batch of elves born will be determined by the producer, the person who is the source of natural energy.
There is no distinction between high and low surnames among the elves.
But why do the elves elect an elf queen?
Because they still need it.
The elves need an Elf Queen to lead them and re-establish a new social system after the death of the Yade Sacred Tree.
At least, the elves cannot be allowed to survive blindly.
Otherwise, the elves will not be able to progress.
"Even if your surname no longer means the Elf Queen, you are still the elf who is most qualified to become the Elf Queen."
Weniya looked at Kokot and said calmly.
Kokot was anxious now.
If she becomes the Elf Queen, wouldn't it mean that her working hours will be extended again! ?
"Where's Victor! Victor! Victor is my boss! He can't agree!"
Weniya looked at the anxious Kokot with calm eyes and said lightly:
"As for your status as queen, this is also..."
At this point, she became a little shy, glanced over her head, and said coyly:
"This is also what father means."
Kokot blinked in confusion, seemingly not understanding what Venia said.
What is this, father?
Where did the father come from?
A biological father from heaven?
Seeing Kokot's confused look, Weniya put a fist to her mouth, her cheeks were slightly red, and she coughed twice to relieve her shyness:
"That's Lord Victor."
"You also know what his existence means to the elves."
Elves are born from nature and respect nature.
The six elements that exist in nature are the most important things for elves.
They need to obtain natural energy from these elements.
Disasters are the embodiment of these six elements.
So Victor, who has three sources of disaster, is like their biological father to the elves.
In addition, Victor personally killed the Yade Sacred Tree, liberating the imprisoned thoughts of the elves.
Although the liberation is not completely complete, after a period of time, the elves will understand.
With the death of the Yade Sacred Tree, their society will develop in a better direction.
"Of course, I will not call him father in public, you can rest assured on this."
In Kokot's confused eyes, Venia said calmly.
"Because Lord Victor is not an elf, we cannot force him to lead us."
"So, he recommended you to us."
At this moment, when Kokot heard this, he felt like his spirit was about to break.
It seems that there is a feeling... that I have been sold, but I still have to count money for others.
"Why...why?"
Aren't she and Victor comrades on the same front?
Seeing Kokot's doubts, Weniya kindly explained:
"Lord Victor said——"
"I feel that a real elf queen working in his family will bring great honor to the Cravenna family."
boom!
In an instant, it was like a thunderbolt exploding in Kokot's ears.
Kokot's mind went blank and he couldn't help but stagnate.
It was too difficult for her to accept this reality.
Just for this reason, she still wants to be the Elf Queen?
Of course, there are more reasons than that.
After hearing Weniya's follow-up words, Koko reluctantly accepted it.
"Moreover, we need a leader who is familiar with the world outside the Elf Forest to build a bridge between the Elf Forest and the outside world."
After releasing the thousand-year-old control of the Yade Sacred Tree, Venia realized the old and single thoughts of the elves.
How little they know about this world.
It's no wonder that few of the elves who left the Elf Forest ever came back.
"So, we plan to open the Elf Forest to the outside world and have contacts with other countries."
"As the first country, I want to choose the Kalencia Empire as the elves' first attempt."
Viniya holds the scepter in her hand and her attitude is very serious.
After all, with the relationship between Kokot and Victor, it was easier to establish diplomatic relations with the empire than with other countries.
And Victor is the Earl of the Empire, and the Empire's attitude towards the elves is openly friendly.
Kokot understood what she meant, and although he could accept it, he still wanted to resist.
Pointing at himself, he quickly added:
"But I am Cravenna's retainer! You know retainer!"
Kokot's meaning is very obvious.
If a retainer of an imperial earl becomes the queen of the Elf Forest, wouldn't it make the whole world feel that the Elf Forest is about to become a vassal of the empire?
However, Weniya shook her head:
"Lord Victor also made it clear to me on this point."
"There is such a saying in the human empire."
"The vassals of my vassals are not my vassals."
"Also, although you are the queen, it does not mean that your status is higher than ours."
The sacred tree of Yard is dead, and all elven surnames have no meaning.
Even Venia, the high priest, is also completely equal to other elves.
Because the sacred tree is dead, the identity of the high priest has no meaning.
As long as other elves want to, they can also become "high priests".
Naturally, even if the Elf Queen is vassalized in Cravenna, Kokot cannot represent the entire Elf Forest.
By the way, after the death of the Yade Sacred Tree, the elves finally discovered the most intuitive benefits.
They don't need to work anymore.
The work of the elves is to create natural energy, and the harvest of natural energy is to give it to the Yade Sacred Tree.
But now, the Yade Sacred Tree is dead.
Therefore, those elves who don't even want to have children, but just want to be spoiled, can even find a tree to hang from.
When you are thirsty, drink the dew; when you are hungry, drink the northwest wind.
Of course, there are still a small number of such elves who are not enterprising.
Such as Kokot.
Viniya glared at Kokot with hatred, and then said:
"After becoming the Elf Queen, you don't need any work."
"You just need to carry this title and continue to stay at Cravenna's house."
"I am determined to be this Elf Queen!"
In other words, Kokot only needs to be a mascot.
Kokot blinked at this time and looked at Weniya:
"Why do you always feel that you are more suitable to be this queen than me?"
Listening to Kokot's speech, Venia held her forehead, sighed, took the scepter, and stood up from her seat.
"Don't get me wrong, I have no ability to be this Elf Queen."
"I still have to go home and raise my children."
She stood there and glanced at the confused Kokot, with a bit of a smile in her eyes.
I hope you understand that I never wanted to replace you.
But I can and will for you.
Do your best.
