Chapter 627 Elsa is thinking about the problem at hand
It took Lisa longer to recover than expected. Lisa's body was highly adaptable, and neither whipping nor hot wax could cause any real harm to Lisa.
But because of "certain things", Lisa was indeed a little hit, so it took her a long time to recover mentally.
Fortunately, he was not an ordinary person after all. After resting for a day, he regained his mysterious and cunning attitude.
Now it's time to look at the problem of elves.

…
Nidhogg has been in a lot of trouble lately.
On the eve of deciding to rebel against the royal court, before everything began, the most difficult thing Nidhogg imagined was to defeat the royal court faction.
Those old guys in the royal court who have completely disregarded the interests of the elves in order to consolidate their rule should have been deprived of their power long ago.
But Nidhogg also knew that the long-standing rule of the Elven King's Court would not be so easy to shake.
Nidhogg had not expected that his former student's level was so beyond his expectation. He accurately grasped two opportunities and defeated the enemy that was nearly seven times larger than his own with his weak force.
The most difficult war problem has been solved, and because of the great cause of saving the world tree, although the royal court faction is still dissatisfied with the rule of vanilla, the number of elven nobles who actually rise up and continue to resist has decreased.
Nowadays, there are still many nobles in the Elf Forest who do not recognize the rule of Vanilla, but now they are all insignificant and will inevitably be gradually suppressed or recruited.
So now the most difficult and hardest problem to deal with has returned to the conflict between humans and elves.
The Elf Queen who is about to ascend the throne is a strongly pro-foreigner. She highly respects human culture and knowledge, and has recruited some human archons to participate in the rule of the elves.
It is not known whether human’s political ideas are suitable for elves, especially the current elven forest elf nobles, but whether it is suitable or not, it will inevitably affect their interests and power.
It's impossible that they would sacrifice their lives and take risks to support Vanilla and fight with Vanilla, only to find that in the end there is a group of humans who would snatch the fruits of victory from them?
The elven nobles did not fail to persuade Vanilla, and even arranged some events to try to arouse the elven people and Vanilla's disgust with humans.
But unfortunately, the elves didn't like humans, and Vanilla was too smart and easily caught and killed several nobles who were plotting.
In times of crisis, wise and experienced rulers are the backbone of everyone. Their decisive and correct decisions will protect the interests of everyone.
But when the crisis is over, those who want to gain more benefits will find it difficult to move forward when faced with such a ruler.
And when neither direct persuasion nor secret planning can shake the will of the future queen Vanilla.
The powerful people began to try to collude secretly and try to gain more allies with like opinions.
For example, those elves who originally tended to the human governance model and once went to the Moon Kingdom to work and study.
These elves were the ones who started the rebellion in the first place. They have made the most contributions and have the most say in Vanilla.
So if they could instigate this part of the elves to join them in opposing the intervention of human political forces, would there be hope?
After all, no matter how much Queen Vanilla wants to go her own way, she must have people supporting her. If everyone is against humans, Queen Vanilla will have to reconsider.
As a result, Nidhogg has recently been contacted and hinted at by various elven nobles in various ways, both overtly and covertly.
Nidhogg was the original leader of the reformists and the elf who first raised the banner of rebellion against the royal court. Great Elder Nidhogg was also the teacher of His Majesty Vanilla.
If Nidhogg takes sides, then His Majesty Vanilla will definitely give in.
It is precisely because many elves who want to fight for power think this way that Nidhogg has been very tired during this period.
He already had a heavy workload because he needed to assist Vanilla, and now he had to deal with all kinds of overt and covert temptations. It was really killing him.
He should know what these elves want to do, and Nidhogg himself does not want the Elf Forest to become a puppet in Rand's hands.
but!
What's wrong with these elves?
Can’t you see the situation clearly and yourself clearly?
Is it now that the elves need humans, or that humans need the elves?
Now the Golden World Tree of the Elves no longer exists, so if the elves encounter foreign enemies again, they can only rely on themselves.
Vanilla's military command ability is indeed good, but the gap between the strength of the elves and the human race is now very large. No matter how powerful Vanilla is, she can't do anything without the right ingredients.
And what if Rand invaded the Elf Forest because he couldn't get enough benefits in the Elf Forest?
Vanilla was trained by Rand. These people don’t think about their great leader, Vanilla Moonshadow’s real teacher. If he wants to take action against the Elf Forest, how can they resist?
The Moon Kingdom and the Elf Forest are indeed far apart, but if Rand wants to deal with the elves, he may not be helpless.
What the elves need to do now is to let Rand see the benefits that the elves can bring to him, so that Rand will continue to invest, instead of withdrawing his investment or even taking away what he wants by cruel means.
Nidhogg sighed. According to the original agreement, the elves would sort out the dangerous ancient technologies that were once sealed in the royal court and hand them over to Rand, but even this matter is now opposed by the elves.
Nidhogg shook his head and looked at the seemingly "cautious" elven noble who was testing him.
Nidhogg did not play dumb. He looked directly at the elven nobleman and said, "Don't you realize what the consequences of angering Rand will be?"
Nidhogg didn't want to analyze any exchange of interests to these people, nor did he want to talk about the so-called keeping one's word. He didn't even have the interest to analyze the situation.
These people are not stupid, it's just that their positions cause them to selectively block their ability to think.
It's funny, whether they are humans or elves, they think more based on their butts than their brains.
In short, thinking patterns are often determined by where they are.
So for such people, Nidhogg planned to use the most direct way of persuasion: "If anyone conflicts with His Majesty Rand, I will stand on the side of humans. We elves who have been to the Moon Kingdom will stand on Rand's side, and Her Majesty the Queen will also stand on Rand's side."
"Ah...ah, I understand." The elf in front of him who was trying to test Nidhogg was a little embarrassed.
Nidhogg's somewhat aged face wrinkled, and he shook his head: "No, you don't understand."
The elf noble was a little puzzled.
Nidhogg was no longer interested in saying anything more. He just shouted, "Catch him! Arrest him and wait for the Queen to decide."
Nidhogg hopes that the elves can have their own autonomy and develop better and better.
But if you want to become like this, you should definitely trust Vanilla's method instead of these foolish people who are blinded by the immediate benefits.
So Nidhogg had actually made his choice long ago.
The elf noble who heard Nidhogg's words clearly looked at Nidhogg in disbelief. As an elder with great power, how could Nidhogg tolerate his power being shared by humans?
How could he tolerate the elves' politics and interests being pointed at and even controlled by humans?
"How could you...?" Before the elf noble could finish his words, the guards covered his mouth and dragged him out.
In the end, all he could do was whimper.
Nidhogg stared at several elves who were also present, who might have been trying to instigate Nidhogg to disobey Vanilla's will like the noble who was dragged out.
"Someone tried to betray our Queen Vanilla. I have ordered him to be arrested. Now I am going to report this matter to Queen Vanilla. You just come with me." Nidhogg said coldly.
The elven nobles hesitated to speak. They wanted to say something, but had to shut up.
Now Nidhogg, the elf representing the elders, has made his attitude clear.
When Nidhogg brought these elven nobles to the temporary palace to meet Vanilla, he met Rand, Elsa and Lysa.
Nidhogg did not hesitate at all. After the salute, he said, "Your Majesty, an elf tried to betray the interests of the elves and tried to destroy the friendly relations between us and the Moon Kingdom. I have captured him."
Vanilla raised her eyelids helplessly. Sometimes saying these things seemed like a show.
But it's a good show, as it can show her and the elders' position to His Majesty Rand.
Rand glanced at Nidhogg, then looked at Vanilla carefully. After confirming that he was not acting, he waved his hand helplessly and said, "You can handle this kind of thing on your own. I don't have the energy to deal with these bugs."
Rand's words are actually quite arrogant.
The most powerful elven nobles would probably be considered great nobles like earls if converted to the human world.
Unfortunately, to Rand, these elves are really just "bugs".
Vanilla and Nidhogg also took Rand's words for granted.
Of course, they also believed that these elven nobles who did some boring and useless things were just slightly annoying bugs to Rand.
Vanilla nodded: "Then we will deal with the matter of the elven traitors later. Your Majesty Rand, may I ask what can I do for you?"
"It's about the ancient technology that I asked you to seal up at the beginning. I need you to deal with it as soon as possible and then review it for me." Rand directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"I have almost prepared all these. I will finish sorting them out in the next few days and then give them to you for your review." Vanilla has always been very concerned about Rand's affairs.
Vanilla has a very deep understanding of work.
Rand is her direct superior, so Rand's matters must be dealt with first, and other matters must be put aside.
And Vanilla also believes that these sealed ancient technologies may really bring some beneficial development to the Sanctuary forces.
By then, maybe some good things will be developed to make life more convenient, and Vanilla will be able to enjoy them soon.
As for why Vanilla didn't consider the elves first, to be honest, Vanilla still recognizes her own identity in the Sanctuary.
After all, if the Elf Queen was just working, she would probably have no holidays. But if Rand, her immediate boss, was responsible for the difficult tasks, then Vanilla could enjoy the well-deserved holidays with peace of mind.
…
It was confirmed that the technology agreed upon at the beginning was being sorted out and there were no problems.
Rand left the temporary palace of the elves with peace of mind.
He told Vanilla that he would be there to congratulate when he ascended the throne, and the rest of the time he would just hang around and leave until he got the technology.
It has been some time since Rand left the Moon Kingdom, and Lysa has told Rand that the Torch Goddess's prophecy is not groundless, and the real things are about to be dealt with.
Rand planned to return to the territory after obtaining the technology and proceed with the prophecy.
In fact, Rand had already vaguely guessed it.
It should be the things discovered in the Southern Kingdom.
People from the Torch Church have been sent to deal with it.
Rand had no other options, so he reminded the nobles and royal families of the southern kingdoms.
However, these nobles and the royal family were very wary of Rand's suggestions and reminders. They were worried that Rand had some other conspiracy.
Of course, they did not completely turn a deaf ear to Rand's warning, but their careful investigation was not enough to immediately resolve the "darkness in the fable" that was about to explode.
Naturally, we had to remind our allies first.
All we can say is that it’s a good thing that King Marcus and the Lionheart Kingdom established a friendly marriage relationship early on.
When Marcus learned of Rand's concerns, he immediately sent a message to his in-laws.
The Lionheart Kingdom also attaches great importance to the news of King Marcus.
This is good news. As the powerful country in the south, if any serious incident really breaks out in the south, Rand can probably stop it for a while.
By then, Rand will have room to maneuver.
At this time, Elsa looked at Lisa awkwardly: "Um, is it my turn today?"
Ryza looked up and thought for a moment, then nodded, handed Erza a jar and left.
Elsa stared at the jar in her hand in silence.
