Jun Chenlan would naturally grant Quan Ji's request.

This is not a difficult task after all.

His calm, bell-like voice began to read aloud, each word clear and distinct. It put Quan Ji in a good mood, and she slowly began to enjoy her lovingly prepared breakfast.

Now, let's get back to the main topic and introduce the Elf race.

The elves are a long-lived race, with an average lifespan of over a thousand years. Before the Imperial Calendar, they had lived in seclusion in the Whispering Forest. They worship the Goddess of Life who governs the growth of all things. Due to the unique nature of their race, they have extremely poor fertility, and most of their offspring are conceived by the Tree of Life. They are a very low-profile race.

The majority of the Elven race is female, but there are also male Elves, so the leaders of the Elven race throughout history have mostly been women.

This race is known for its high aesthetic appeal, its affinity for nature, and its pure affinity for the natural world; they are nature's darlings.

They are simple and proud, and they hate all hypocrisy and pretense. This also makes them have a natural aversion to creatures with high intelligence. So they hide themselves away, and even in the Whispering Forest, they are very difficult to find. It is almost impossible to find their community without an elf carrying a bottle.

Suddenly, Jun Chenlan paused, his gaze widening, and said, "These are marked as important."

Quan Ji had just finished drinking the soup made by Jun Chenlan. She sat up straight, her gaze falling on Jun Chenlan, and her eyes became serious.

"you say."

Jun Chenlan read aloud the key points: "In order to repay the bounty of nature, the Elven race holds an Elven Festival under the Tree of Life every five hundred years when new life is about to be born. Soon after, a new Elven Festival will be held. At this time, the Elven race is least welcoming to outsiders and will be even more vigilant, making it difficult for people to find the Elven race."

Quan Ji: "...So, in other words, the Elf Clan is going to hold an Elf Festival soon, which will make it even more difficult for us to find the Elf Clan?"

Jun Chenlan nodded: "Yes."

Quan Ji frowned and asked again, "What is this Elf Festival like? Is there any record of it?"

Quan Ji had heard about the Elf Festival in her previous life, but only about those four words.

No one knew the specifics of the Elf Festival.

But as a reborn person, Quan Ji suddenly remembered something that had shaken the entire Noah Continent in her previous life, and it happened to be related to the Elf race.

Quan Ji looked up at Jun Chenlan: "In my previous life, not long after this time, a major event did happen to the Elven race, which made the entire Noah Continent tremble."

Jun Chenlan listened quietly.

Quan Ji said based on her memory:

"If I remember correctly, in my previous life, the elves began to age and die in large numbers after this period. Countless elves fled the Whispering Forest like madmen, hunting other races. The elves, who have always advocated peace and benevolence, began to absorb the lifeblood and energy of other races, and were therefore wanted by the entire Noah continent... The timing of these events is so similar, do you think it might be because of this Elf Festival?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Chenlan was stunned for a moment, then frowned in thought, finding it utterly unbelievable.

"Was the cause ultimately not found?"

Quan Ji shook her head: "In the end, the Elf race was besieged and wiped out by various races, and the reason was never found."

"I was also invited to participate in the siege at that time. The Elf Queen of that generation said something before she died. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now when I think about it, it's strange."

Jun Chenlan asked, "What did she say?"

—Author's Note—

I'm feeling a bit dizzy today. I've come up with a new idea for the Elven storyline and am currently working on it. [I'll resume daily updates of 4,000 words on the 24th (because I want to try and get a 2,000 yuan reward!)]
