The crisp gunshot brought the elves back to their senses, and their gazes slowly turned forward.
Leon stood indifferently not far away, her gun pointed steadily at them.
Now, the elves were fully awake.
They shrank back, their eyes fixed on the strange black weapon in Leon's hand, looking somewhat fearful.
Leon looked at her compatriots with no pity in her eyes.
Although they were all elves, in her eyes, these elves were like complete strangers with no blood relation whatsoever.
She wouldn't even blink if she wanted to shoot and kill an elf directly.
Kokot looked at the scene before him and shook his head:
"Hey, you won't wake up unless it hurts you."
The elves do obey the highly seductive commands of the Tree of Adrien, but at the same time...
They were also afraid of dying.
Every living being fears death.
The Tree of Adri summoned them with the intention of sending these elves to their deaths.
Even if Vinya tried to stop them and told them the true intentions of the Tree of Ade, these elves probably still wouldn't believe her.
After all, how could their great divine tree harm them?
When they faced real death, there was no way they could escape.
Although Vinya was also drawn to the black weapon in Leon's hand, she remained conscious.
At this moment, she had countless questions and wanted to get the answers from Kokot.
“Clearly... we were all created by the divine tree.”
"But why is that?"
She watched as the natural energy within her body continuously drained away, and her body gradually became ethereal, but she was powerless to reverse the situation.
If she were to truly venture deep into the Tree of Adrien, she probably wouldn't be able to stand there peacefully anymore.
Kokote, aware of Vinya's doubts, patiently answered them for her:
"Because we were created by the Tree of Adri, it can use us without any burden."
“Venia, you regard the Tree of Ade as a great mother, but it has never regarded you as its children.”
Listening to Cocotte's speech, Vinya's features scrunched up in disbelief.
How can I trust you?
Cocotte turned her head towards Leon and said calmly:
"Isn't her existence enough proof?"
Following Cocotte's signal, Vinya's gaze fell upon Leon.
She was completely stunned.
Because she didn't see the flow of natural energy in Leon.
The Tree of Adri is absorbing the energy of all the elves, and even Kokot Adri cannot avoid it. He can only rely on his control over natural energy to resist the Tree of Adri.
But Leon is different.
It's as if it has completely rejected natural energy.
If she herself cannot produce natural energy, she naturally cannot be absorbed by the Tree of Ade.
Therefore... Leon is unable to draw upon natural energy.
"To the Divine Tree, she... is a defective product?"
At that moment, Vinya finally understood.
Why is there an elf without a surname?
Because of this spirit, she cannot draw upon natural energy, nor can the Tree of Adrien draw natural energy from her.
Therefore, to the Divine Tree, Leon is a completely worthless elf!
Having no value means that the Tree of Ad has no need to give her a surname!
She understood, Vinya understood everything!
She couldn't accept this reality, clutching her head, feeling immense pain.
This is a kind of pain that originates from the mind.
This is a reality that no elf could accept.
From beginning to end, the elves believed that the Tree of Adri protected them at all times, like a kind mother who nurtured them.
But when their most revered mother wielded the scythe of ruthlessness and cruelty against them and began to reap their lives, they were not even able to fight back like Kokot.
That's right, because of the protection of the divine tree, the elves forgot about the danger.
The divine tree will not harm them, so the elves do not need to be very powerful, and they do not even need to have free will.
The Tree of Adri gave each elf a surname and clearly planned out their entire lives.
The elves' entire lives are consumed by the oppression of the Tree of Adrien...
At this moment, Vinya wished she wasn't so clear-headed, so clever.
She even wished she could be one of those ignorant people.
This way, she wouldn't have to accept reality so quickly.
Perhaps the pain will lessen as a result.
Vinya slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with a strong thirst for knowledge.
There was one last question left in her mind that needed to be resolved.
"So, we were all created by the divine tree."
"If there were no sacred tree, what would we be like..."
How will the elves continue their lineage?
Even now that the danger of the sacred tree is understood.
But what if there were no divine tree, what if the elves no longer relied on the divine tree?
Then, how should elves continue to be created?
Cocotte put his hands on his hips and sighed helplessly:
“Oh, Vinya, I was going to say you’re very smart.”
"Whether it's you or the other elves, they've always been wrong about one thing."
She looked up at Vinya, then at the equally bewildered elves, her eyes clear and bright:
