"Unfortunately, even in the end we will not be able to determine the truth about this cold disaster, but what is certain is that this will be a disaster that will last for a very long time, and all of us must prepare for the future."
"Difficult times are coming, and this time it will be a more severe test, both for humans and for us elves."
"This concludes my speech. I hope everyone can gain some inspiration or help from it and find the true path to resolving this disaster."
Finally, the scholar placed one hand on his chest, bowed, and slowly walked down the steps.
The hall fell into a long silence. Undoubtedly, the speech just now had a huge impact on everyone, and it also made many people feel depressed.
This world is getting worse and worse.
Their original high spirits, thinking of sitting back and watching the changes in the war outside while remaining content and at ease, were instantly shattered, and a cold fog of pessimism filled their hearts.
The images and words they had just seen were still echoing in the minds of many elves, so much so that few people were listening to the results presented by the scholars who followed. Everyone's attention was still focused on their anxieties and assumptions about the future.
Until then, an elf man dressed in gorgeous silk walked onto the stage.
"Pa pa pa——" A burst of crisp applause came from his hands.
"I'm sorry to wake you all up from your sadness. I think everyone is as worried about the future as I am. The cold disaster is followed by drought, and the empire will probably be in civil unrest again. Maybe one day monsters will sweep across the earth, causing everyone to be surprised and panicked." The man was familiar with outlining and drawing out the emotions in everyone's hearts.
"So, in order to cope with that day, we need to prepare early."
"And the new technology that my colleagues and I have discovered will surely bring you some ideas..." As he spoke, he gently rang the bell, and several elf waiters brought a huge oil painting onto the platform and displayed it in front of everyone.
There was a clear blue sky, white rolling clouds, and graceful floating buildings looming in it. One could even see some aircraft flying through it.
"Thanks to the archaeological boom following the anomalous event, many remote and even forgotten ruins have been discovered, revealing some of the past technologies and scenes, and among them is the part about building a floating city."
"We still don't know why ancient people left the earth and went to live in the sky, but it's conceivable that the earth was plagued by disasters and dangers that ordinary people could not overcome, forcing them to leave and build cities and even countries in the sky."
"Now that disaster is about to strike again in the world of Ivar, why don't we follow the example of the ancients and restore the glorious era of the sky?"
"There, we won't be affected by cold weather, nor do we need to worry about rainstorms and heavy snow. We can drift freely, choose a suitable latitude, or even live permanently in a mild location to survive difficult times. We can also free ourselves and our people from the endless wars on earth and gain true freedom."
The elf man stood beneath the enormous painting, speaking in a voice that sounded almost like singing, describing a beautiful world. This beautiful vision of the future captivated the eyes of many elves, lifting them from their pessimism and immersing them in this incomparably beautiful vision.
"This is not just a revival of the twilight age, it will also represent the beginning of a new era. So please allow me to call it a word that corresponds to twilight, but is also full of hope and beauty—"
Dawn of the Age
