Chapter 598: Vanilla reigns over the Elf Town to which she is not very loyal
These renaissance elves have obviously realized the gap in combat power between the two sides.
However, some of them are very tight-lipped, but unfortunately not all revival elves are very tight-lipped.
To be precise, not all of these elves are revivalists, some are just low-class elves. However, those who are not strict with their mouths and are not very loyal don't know much.
Rand got some information from these loose-lipped elves.
The revivalists seemed to be about making some kind of sacrifice.
They traded elven slaves to gather resources.
It was for this sacrifice.
Then win back the attention of the God of Elves.
To be honest, Rand doesn't really understand the idea of tying the meaning of life to God.
But some revivalist elf fanatics apparently think otherwise.
"It seems that we can't get more information from him for the time being." Rand said, "Let's torture him slowly and see if we can find out more. For now, let's continue on our way."
Everyone set out again.
Both Vanilla and Wind Chimes have a hatred for these revivalist elves.
To be honest, they thought they were traitors to the elves in some sense and had no right to hate anything.
But when they see these unscrupulous revivalist elves.
They also felt that they were relatively loyal to their own race. At least they would never do things like looting villages, capturing elven slaves, and then selling them to humans.
The slave trade has always been a gray area, but if they captured elves and sold them to elves, it might be relatively better, at least they would not be labeled as elf traitors, but now.
At least Vanilla and Wind Chime were furious with these elven slave traders.
But now, of course, these elven slaves were settled by Rand.
Human slaves were also settled by Rand.
There were no more twists and turns along the way, and everyone arrived at the reformist stronghold town in the Elf Forest.
An ordinary elven village in the Elf Forest is not much different from a human village.
Due to the existence of hunger, disease, war and other disasters, the life of ordinary elven villagers is not much different from that of human villagers.
But at the town level, there will be differences due to culture.
When the morning mist has not yet dissipated, the whole town is like an emerald soaked in moonlight, suspended above the spruce canopy. It may have taken the elf architect decades to induce the vines to solidify into a dome arcade, and the blue-gray stone walls are covered with unique roses whose veins change with the seasons.
I have to say, a town built on giant trees is indeed shocking when you see it for the first time.
Rand was already well-informed, and had already learned a lot about the culture and architectural style of the elves.
But when I saw it, I couldn't help but watch it.
After entering the city, Rand soon saw Nidhogg again.
The elven elder looked a little haggard. He stared at Rand with his blue eyes. "I didn't expect His Majesty to come in person."
"I still take this very seriously." Rand smiled, "But I am not your Majesty. Your future Majesty is this one."
Rand moved aside so that the somewhat short Vanilla could be seen by everyone.
Vanilla specially changed into a solemn dress, pursed her lips and rode her horse in front of everyone, looking really noble.
"Hello everyone." Vanilla didn't say much.
At this time, Nidhogg had already led the reformists to pay tribute to Vanilla.
Not all of these people who rebelled against the Elf Royal Court believed in Vanilla, the royal member respected by Nidhogg and the student of Elder Nidhogg.
Everyone has great trust in Elder Nidhogg and his wisdom. Everyone believes that Elder Nidhogg can lead them to resist the now chaotic yet solidified Elf Forest.
But this obviously couldn't make them decide to follow an elf girl who looked quite young.
They saluted only out of respect for the elven royal family and elder Nidhogg.
Although these rebels may not have much respect for the elven royal family, and some of them have never been to the holiday villa, they are even more distrustful of Rand as a human.
The crowd walked through the streets of the elven town.
There is not a strong war atmosphere here.
Rand could also clearly observe some industries with elven characteristics.
For example, there are some special effects in the forest, such as picking fruits and brewing potions.
As for other industries with elven characteristics such as textiles, metallurgy, and blacksmith shops, they are basically just special features and not unique to this place.
After going around in a circle.
Randcai and Nidhogg came to the meeting room to discuss matters.
"Then let's get straight to the point. I must ask Vanilla to be your leader, otherwise I will not continue to support you." Rand certainly did not say this to Nidhogg. The elves, led by Nidhogg, who had been to the holiday villa were all aware of Vanilla's excellence.
This sentence is for other elves who follow Nidhogg but do not know about the resort.
In fact, these people not only don’t understand vanilla, they also don’t understand Rand.
For Rand, it wouldn't make much sense for him to support this elven faction if it was just the leader of the elven reform faction instead of vanilla.
Nidhogg is an elf close to the Sanctuary forces.
And Vanilla is a member of the Sanctuary Force.
These are two completely different concepts.
The faces of some of the elves present turned a little ugly, but no elf dared to embarrass Rand. It seemed that Nidhogg must have taught them a lot in advance.
At least these elves knew that Rand was not only a sponsor, but also possessed terrible potential military power.
Although they may not know the extent of Rand's military power, or they know, they don't have a clear concept of it.
"So why are you willing to support Nidhogg and the others?" Rand was of course also speaking to the elves who had never been to the holiday resort.
"My previous elf lord was a foolish and crazy man. He asked the elves to stop farming and enjoy the fruits given by nature." An elf explained to Rand.
There was no need for the elf to explain more; Rand already understood it completely.
Of course, there are some druids among the elves who can ripen plants, and even some tree spirits in the elven forest have friendly relations with the elves.
But this obviously does not mean that these powerful beings will provide any considerate services to ordinary elf villagers.
You can imagine what happens next.
The reformers who had some contact with the outside world and received funding from RAND did have some insights into growing food.
At least they won't ask to stop growing food and accept the gifts of nature instead.
"I understand." Then Rand looked at Vanilla sitting on the seat.
After hearing all this, Rand already had a plan for his next move, but since Vanilla was about to become the leader, it was natural for Vanilla to make the decision.
It's a little bit of exercise.
Rand has firmly guaranteed the status of Vanilla and has become Vanilla's solid backing.
But Rand still has his own kingdom to govern, and he can't always handle everything in the Elf Forest.
So now Vanilla needs to have some of her own skills and wisdom.
Of course, Rand will be there to assist during this time.
Rand actually trusts Vanilla very much. He has always been aware of Vanilla's intelligence and ability.
Of course Vanilla knew that there would be a time for her to speak.
She is ready.
She sat in her seat and looked at the elves present.
Most of these elves looked tired, and some even had injuries.
Obviously, it will cost a lot to fight against the Elf King's Court.
"I know many of you don't trust me. I now represent Rand and myself. Our ideas are actually the same. I will lead you to victory and make your life a little better." Vanilla expressed her thoughts first.
Then Vanilla's expression became serious, and her cute face became a little cold and hard: "Of course some of you may not want to think so, but at least now, you have no right to object."
This is a combination of kindness and severity.
"Next, I will carry out some education and publicity in this town. First, I will reform agriculture, and secondly, I will provide some basic strategic and tactical training. Trade and exchanges with the outside world, especially with our Sanctuary forces, will also be further expanded and developed."
This is what to do next.
In a sense, Vanilla is a disciple of Rand. Rand's style is to proceed step by step, and so is Vanilla, which is exactly suitable for the current situation.
If Vanilla asked for the integration of the army and started further development, or cleansed internal opponents right from the start.
These things are likely to cause internal resistance.
Vanilla certainly doesn't do that.
Priority is now given to some of the more gentle but impactful work.
For example, agricultural reform and teaching of strategy and tactics.
This will not only allow the elves here to feel the superiority of outside knowledge, but also allow the elves here to understand Vanilla's personal abilities and tactical thinking through strategic and tactical teaching.
And in such interactions, vanilla will be relatively accepted and understood to a certain extent.
Rand was very satisfied with the approach taken by Vanilla.
It seems that Vanilla is as qualified as imagined, so he can do something of his own.
After Rand left his personal guards and some of the people he brought with him to Vanilla, he set out with Olenna and Lysa.
Of course, Rand came to the Elf Forest to have some personal matters to attend to.
Actually, it's not a personal matter. I'm just interested in the history of elves and want to learn more about it to try to find a way to deal with the current situation.
Lysa said that perhaps the God of the Elves had already arrived, and Rand actually believed it.
Although it was unbelievable that gods had already descended to the world, there were still many strange things in this world that Rand did not understand, so it was not possible at all.
Rand could probably guess that Lysa, the ancient elf, had some connection with the God of Elves, for example, Lysa was actually the messenger of the God of Elves or something.
In Rand's opinion, this probability is actually very high.
Otherwise it can't explain why Lisa knows so many secrets.
Of course, it is also possible that Lysa is something like the Emerald King, who is powerful and has lived a long life and is knowledgeable. Rand cannot be sure of the details, and he has no interest in delving into it.
After all, Lysa is on her side, isn't she?
Now Rand, Olenna and Lysa plan to go and ask Luca, the captain of the Sun Adventurers Team.
…
Luca is currently studying the natural ecology of the elven forest with the team's half-elf wizard and dwarf berserker.
This is also the mission of the Adventurer's Association of the resort.
And doing quests is the nature of the adventurer team.
The Adventurer's Guild has always had permanent missions to collect rare geological soils and special plant and animal materials.
The issuer of these tasks is of course the Alchemy Workshop of the Sanctuary Force.
Rare geological soils may be able to assist in metallurgy or create some magical effects, while special plant and animal materials may also lead to breakthroughs in the potion or materials industry.
These collected things may not play any role for a long time, but as long as they can play a role at some point and form a technological breakthrough, all the money invested will be earned back.
Rand is well aware of the significance of accumulating small amounts to make a big one, so this type of mission has been issued continuously.
However, the rare soils and special plant and animal materials in the regular areas have been collected. Now that Luca's Sunshine Adventure Team can come to the Elf Forest, they will naturally not miss the mission materials here.
The relatively knowledgeable half-elf wizard in the team accurately identifies which materials are likely to be more valuable.
The Dwarf Berserker uses his height advantage to hide in relatively short bushes, so that the dwarf will not be noticed by the enemy at the first time, and can launch a sneak attack at the right time.
The captain, Luca, is responsible for picking plant and animal materials.
Luca slashed with his flashing sword, knocking a charging cow with mushrooms growing on its back to the ground.
This magic sword was originally intended to be given to Rand as a reward for His Majesty's treatment of his companions, but His Majesty Rand did not accept any reward from them.
Luca still remembered that Rand had provided them with funding in the beginning. They now knew that there was no starting prize for new adventurers.
All the members of their Sunshine Adventurer team were very grateful to Rand, even the half-elf wizard.
There won't be a very good living space for hybrids like half-elves anywhere else.
"The mushrooms on this mushroom cow seem to have some special effects. You can pick them and see if the Adventurer's Association is willing to increase the price." The half-elf wizard poked the meat of the mushroom cow with his standard staff.
"As for the meat of the mushroom cow, it is recorded as a very good cooking ingredient. We can try the broth made from this ingredient for dinner." The half-elf wizard has relatively good knowledge of cooking, as for why he knows it relatively well.
That was naturally because she learned from the half-elf wizard Cui Yu of the Burning Steel Adventurers Team.
"Then would you mind if we three have some broth for dinner?" Rand appeared in front of the Sun Team with Olenna and Lysa.
