Once this bill was promulgated, it instantly caused an uproar in the empire.
After all, in the past few thousand years, owning an elf slave has long become a way for everyone to show off their status.
It is really surprising that His Majesty has issued such a bill, and everyone can't help but speculate on the reasons behind it.
Just when everyone was puzzled, a sharp-minded nobleman enlightened everyone: the imperial concubine that His Majesty married the day before yesterday was none other than the princess of the elves.
In this case, the introduction of this bill seems to make sense.
Although many people were inevitably unwilling, someone immediately reminded them that His Majesty had not completely blocked this path, and those half-elf slaves could still be traded freely.
From this point of view, Your Majesty has taken everyone's interests into consideration.
"Indeed, it is truly commendable that Your Majesty considers our feelings. I intend to be the first to offer my family's elf slaves to Your Majesty, free of charge. If I can leave a favorable impression on Your Majesty, I will be making a fortune."
"That's right. Anyway, those elven slaves... can use this opportunity to replace them with a new batch of half-elves."
Soon, nobles and wealthy families in various regions handed over their elf slaves to local regulatory authorities by way of donation or sale.
Before this, Martin had already issued a stern warning to regulatory departments in all regions: Anyone who dares to act recklessly and fails to manage his subordinates will have his entire family executed.
At the same time, he also arranged for the intelligence department to conduct all-round surveillance. Once such a situation occurred, a detailed memorial and intelligence would be submitted to him, and he would then deal with it in a unified manner and give an explanation to the entire empire.
Ten days later, Martin sat on the throne in the throne room, his eyes fixed on the report in front of him.
It listed in detail the number of elves, as well as the information of those families who could not control their subordinates and those who were sneaky and did not hand over the elven slaves, all presented to him one by one.
Looking at the number of elves, Martin was shocked. He really didn't expect that the number of elves in the two continents combined would be as high as more than 50,000. This was really a shockingly large number.
Among them, there are about 12,000 elves in the Western Continent, and more than 40,000 in the Northern Continent.
As for the reason why there are so many elves in the northern continent, it can be traced back to the time of Queen Catherine.
At that time, in order to win over the nobles and raise military funds, the Queen handed over the elves of the northern continent to the nobles and the wealthy.
This move instantly made the elves of the northern continent the target of all forces on the continent.
The elves were weak and powerless, unable to resist, and soon the entire elven race, along with the Tree of Life, were divided up.
The Tree of Life was even cruelly made into a life potion.
Martin gently placed the list on the table, picked up the gift sent by the elf representative, and subconsciously played with it.
After pondering for a long time, he finally gave the order and the legions in various places immediately took action.
At the same time, the dragon knights stationed in various places will take the lead and walk at the forefront of the legion, specifically to eliminate those powerful people that the legion is difficult to deal with.
The elven slaves rescued from various regions were all sent to Skavi, an intermediate secret realm three hundred miles to the left of Lake Hestia.
This place was originally a secret place of elves, but now it is full of stone statues.
Martin had arranged people in advance to transport all these stone statues to the secret realm of Moonlight Star Feather Forest, intending to place the elves from all over the world there.
Martin stared at the seed of life in his hand and sensed a faint hint of vitality on it.
After he signed a contract with the Seed of Life, he went straight to Skavi.
As soon as he entered the secret realm, he immediately consumed his own energy to cause the seed of life to grow rapidly until he possessed the strength of a lower god.
In an instant, a moon well magically appeared next to the seed of life, and its frame was actually made of branches of the tree of life.
As the Tree of Life continues to grow, it begins to gradually change the environment in the secret realm.
Martin looked around and watched the scenery change little by little. He couldn't help but nod, thinking that this would be a great place to vacation in the future.
At this moment, huge fruits quietly grew on the branches of the Tree of Life.
After communicating with the Tree of Life, Martin learned that these fruits gave birth to the first generation of elves.
These elves were born from the Tree of Life in order to manage the more than 50,000 elves.
Martin counted carefully and found that there were only more than 2,000 fruits on the tree.
Moreover, he saw that the fruits were still growing bigger. Not long after, there were sounds of "bang bang bang", and the huge fruits fell down one after another.
Immediately afterwards, little elves emerged from the fruit.
As soon as they were born, they faced the Tree of Life, offered their blessings with piety, and sang melodious elven songs.
Along with the singing, the Tree of Life began to emit soft light gradually. These lights were like tiny stars, and gradually penetrated into the body of the singing elf.
When the chanting ended, the elves stood up and saluted Martin respectfully.
Then he turned around and walked straight into the forest to make clothes for himself.
After thinking for a moment, Martin handed the key to the secret realm to the Tree of Life.
After a moment of hesitation, he asked the system to upgrade the Tree of Life to the middle god level.
Martin then solemnly instructed, "For a long time to come, more elven slaves will be sent here. They've endured many hardships and have suffered severe physical and mental trauma. They'll need your care."
The Tree of Life trembled its branches slightly, as if nodding, and said gently, "Master, please rest assured. I empathize with the suffering those children have endured. I will take good care of them and strive to heal their wounds."
Upon hearing this, Martin nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left the secret realm.
At this time, elven slaves from all over the world were being sent to the secret land of Skavi one after another.
The transportation of the elves is handled by the legions stationed in various places.
Whenever the elves are transferred to the next legion garrison, the local legion must take action, enter a state of combat readiness, cheer up, and escort the elves to the next garrison. This can also be regarded as a kind of training for the legion.
After unifying the continent, except for a small number of "troublemakers" causing trouble, the situation was basically stable and no war occurred.
Martin now focuses on other dimensions.
However, he noticed that the conditions of the legions stationed in various parts of the empire were uneven, and what was more serious was that many legions were stationed in overlapping areas.
From this chaos, one can imagine the huge number of the imperial legions and the chaotic layout.
He planned to deal with this issue after the elf escort mission was completed.
After finishing his thoughts, Martin raised his hand and created a crack in space. Then his figure flashed and he returned directly to the throne hall of Yulong City.
