Chapter 52: Chief, I seem to have made a surprising discovery!
Great Elder Teresa was instantly filled with shock.
The expression on her delicate face also froze.
Less than 40,000. This light answer really scared her.
You have to know that their tribe has been developing for hundreds of years, and the number of people nowadays is only about 10,000. Although it is more difficult to breed flower elves than natural elves, the difference is not too big.
Here, there are not only thousands of elf armies, but also tens of thousands of elves.
When these elves grow up, they will form an army of tens of thousands of elves.
It was hard for Teresa to imagine how many years these nature elves had developed in the inner city ruins to reach such a large scale.
"There are two possibilities."
"Or the nature elves have really been hiding in this inner city for many years."
"Or there is more than one Tree of Life!"
Of the two guesses, Great Elder Teresa is more inclined to the second one.
She had just arrived and didn't know much about the inner city, but when she looked with her naked eyes, she saw that apart from the newly built wooden houses, there were ruins of buildings everywhere.
Even many areas are filled with bones.
If the natural elves have really lived in the inner city for many years, there is no reason not to clean up these things. After all, the elves have very high requirements for the environment of their home.
Therefore, Great Elder Teresa speculated that there was more than one Tree of Life in the inner city.
Only in this way can a large number of natural elves be bred in a short period of time.
At this time, the elven female hunter who led the way said, "Elder Teresa, this is where our army is stationed. Elder, please wait for a moment. We have sent someone to report to His Majesty the Elf King."
"Besides, we have a mission and cannot accompany you."
"Elders, please do not move around unless it is important. There are always Hippogryph Knights patrolling the inner city area to prevent them from mistaking the elders for enemies."
"I see, thanks for the reminder!"
Great Elder Teresa nodded solemnly.
Then, several elven female hunters rode on the wind leopards to the outer city.
Looking at their backs, Great Elder Teresa couldn't help but think in her heart: "Although the natural elves here recognize my identity as a fellow tribesman, they are not so enthusiastic. There seems to be a barrier between us."
"However, since this is our first contact, it's normal to be a little defensive."
Theresa comforted herself in her heart.
This result was obviously different from what she had expected.
But it's always moving in a good direction.
When they first met, those nature elves attacked her without saying a word. If she hadn't dodged quickly, her body would have been cold by now.
At this moment, her expression suddenly froze.
"The elven female hunter just now seemed to have mentioned the powerful Majesty again."
"I heard it clearly. She addressed him as His Majesty the Elf King!"
This time, Great Elder Teresa finally did not doubt whether there was something wrong with her ears.
"How could it be His Majesty the Elf King?"
"Shouldn't it be Her Majesty the Elf Queen?"
"Just like the queen of Chaos Plains..."
Great Elder Teresa frowned.
After a moment, she suddenly widened her eyes like stars and moons: "No way, it can't be what I think? But, how is this possible! "
As she muttered to herself, her body suddenly trembled violently and her breathing became rapid.
Because she seemed to have thought of the key.
"This matter must be reported to the Queen immediately... Oh no, the Chief..."
Great Elder Teresa quickly took out the amethyst-like petal from the space equipment she carried with her, infused it with spiritual power, and called Queen Ivra.
At this time, Queen Yivra was rushing towards the ruins of the ancient elven city at a high speed.
She was also a little confused when she received Theresa's communication request.
"Great Elder, has something happened? I will be able to reach the ruins of the imperial capital in half an hour at most."
"Master Patriarch, I seem to have made a surprising discovery!"
"Oh? What did you find?"
Queen Evra was even more confused.
As for the change in the way Great Elder Teresa addressed her, she didn't care much about it, because she was originally the chief of the Flower Spirit Tribe, and sometimes the flower elves would call her by the name of the chief.
Teresa narrated what she saw and heard along the way.
After listening.
Queen Yivra was unable to recover for a long time.
In addition to the thousands of natural elves in the imperial capital ruins, there were actually "less than 40,000" elves. This terrifying number really shocked her.
"Wait a minute, you just said there is an Elf King in the inner city?"
"Yes, patriarch!"
Elder Teresa said quickly, "I am very sure that I heard correctly. It is the Elf King, not the Elf Queen! Let me ask, in my elf clan, who can grasp the authority of His Majesty the Elf King?"
Queen Yivra took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "The Great Elder means that the Elf King is the legendary Sun Elf?"
"Master Chief, who else but the Sun Elf is qualified to call himself His Majesty the Elf King?"
"in addition……"
Elder Teresa continued, "The Elf Priest also specifically reminded me that the controller of the Elf branch can only call himself the tribe leader if he has not received special recognition from His Majesty the Sun Elf King. Otherwise, it would be an act of usurpation."
"I've been thinking about it."
"If His Majesty the Sun Elf King hadn't been alive, why would she have specifically reminded me?"
"After all, thousands of years have passed, and few tribes care about this anymore."

“…”
Queen Yifura was silent for a long time. It was not until Great Elder Teresa called her several times that she responded briefly: "Wait for me to come over!"
After ending the communication, Queen Ivra's speed increased several times.
It was like a ray of aurora passing across the sky.
In less than ten minutes, she arrived at the ruins. She did not go to the camp where the Elf Princess Aina was, but flew straight to the inner city.
Soon, she also encountered a group of elves hunting in the dense forest.
After some fairly friendly contacts and negotiations, Queen Ivra was finally welcomed into the elven army's camp.
"Master Patriarch!"
Great Elder Teresa appeared first.
Queen Yivra nodded slightly. She now understood why Great Elder Teresa did not call her Her Majesty the Queen.
If the "Majesty" in the inner city is really the Sun Elf King, then such a title is equivalent to wanting to rebel. Not to mention the flower elves, no elves would have the courage to do such a thing.
"Great Elder, has His Majesty sent anyone to summon you?"
“Not yet.”
"Then wait."
Queen Ivra didn't say much either.
Before meeting that 'Majesty', there is no point in saying anything.
At this moment, her expression looked calm, but she was actually extremely nervous inside.
…
Time flies and more than two hours have passed.
Great Elder Teresa smiled bitterly and said, "Master Patriarch, it's almost twelve o'clock. I'm afraid His Majesty will have to wait until tomorrow to summon us."
Queen Ivra also felt lost.
If she couldn't see that "His Majesty" tonight, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to sleep well.
But at this moment.
Suddenly, a series of sharp cries were heard from the distant sky.
The two were startled and when they looked up they saw a large black shadow flying towards them rapidly.
Great Elder Teresa immediately said excitedly: "Master, it's the legendary Hippogryph Knight!" She couldn't help but be excited. It was the first time she saw an elven soldier of this profession. Before that, she had only heard of it by word of mouth.
Queen Ivra's eyes also sparkled.
Soon, dozens of fully armed horned eagle knights descended in front of the two people with a strong wind. One of the knights said, "Are you Queen Ivra and Elder Teresa of the Flower Spirit Tribe?"
Queen Yifura quickly said, "I don't dare to call myself a queen. I am Yifura, the chief of the Flower Spirit Tribe."
The knight nodded slightly and said, "We are following the orders of the great Sun Elf King Lin Yi to take you to our territory. Before that, you need to swear allegiance to His Majesty the Elf King. If you don't want to, you can leave now!"
Hearing this.
Evela and Theresa were stunned for a moment, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
A moment later, Queen Yifra knelt down with a plop and said in an excited and trembling voice: "I, Yifra Eunice, and all the tribesmen of the Flower Spirit Tribe greet His Majesty the Great Sun Elf King Lin Yi! Our tribe is willing to follow His Majesty forever, until the end of time!"
Great Elder Teresa standing by was also trembling.
The tears that kept falling from the corners of her eyes quickly wet her clothes.
"Greetings to His Majesty the Great Sun Elf King!"
"May your majesty live forever!!"
